Chapter 425: King, it’s time to take medicine

Guo Kai wiped the sweat off his face and spoke carefully into Cheng Jiao's ear.

"Lord Chang'an, I have already made arrangements. I cannot transfer Zhao Yan's two top masters' attendants, as everyone else has already been transferred. Zhao Yan is most helpless right now. We are just waiting for the right time to let the queen take action."

After listening to Guo Kai's plan, Cheng Jiao couldn't help but admire that some people have extraordinary talent in this area.

If he were to do it, it would take him at least ten days to get it done so well.

In less than a day, Guo Kai was able to make all the arrangements around Zhao Yan clearly.

Although Zhao Yan was so angry that he was bedridden, Guo Kai's ability was absolutely unique.

When they arrived at the Zhao Palace, Cheng Jiao was led by Guo Kai to an unknown hall.

"For his own safety, Zhao Yan was worried that Chang'an Jun might attack him, so he arranged a substitute in the bedroom. This is where his real body is."

Cheng Jiao smacked his lips. Good thing he didn't do it himself, otherwise it would have been funny if he killed the wrong person.

"Where is the queen?"

Guo Kai coughed lightly and said, "It's the Queen. Chang'an Jun had better not call her that. The Queen should have gone in by now. I won't go in. I will keep watch outside the palace for you so as not to be exposed to the eyes of those two top attendants."

Cheng Jiao nodded. With Guo Kai's mediocre skills, he would probably be caught before he even got in.

He glanced at the sparse palace maids and guards around, all of whom were arranged by Guo Kai and Queen Chang.

He did not hide and walked into the hall with a swagger.

With his strength, unless he encounters those two attendants head-on, his trace will not be discovered at all.

An inner room inside the main hall.

The advocate had a kind smile on his face.

"The king's health has recovered well. The imperial physician said that he will be able to get out of bed and move around in the next two days."

Zhao Wangyan asked solemnly: "Has Cheng Jiao left Handan?"

After receiving the news that Cheng Jiao killed a thousand elite soldiers alone, he was so scared that he almost left the palace and hid, fearing that Cheng Jiao would break into the palace and assassinate him.

The queen's seductive eyes turned, "Not yet, Guo Kai said, it seems that they are waiting for the allocation of the city obtained from the State of Yan."

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and tried not to get angry.

"I have already given Qin thirteen cities, yet they still want more!"

The advocate held the medicine bowl in his hand and blew gently.

"Don't be angry, my king. If you get sick from anger, the State of Zhao will be finished."

Zhao Yan slapped the bed fiercely. "Qin State actually has a master like Cheng Jiao. Does God really want to destroy our Zhao State?"

The Queen comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. No matter how strong Cheng Jiao is, he is only one man. The palace has thousands of guards and countless experts. If Cheng Jiao dares to come, he will not be able to escape."

Since the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards was killed by Cheng Jiao, she has now secretly controlled most of the imperial guards in the palace while Zhao Yan is unable to control them.

The only major concern is the two top masters' attendants who have always been loyal to Zhao Yan and are the foundation of the Zhao royal family. It is impossible for them to obey her.

Zhao Yan nodded heavily: "That's right. If Cheng Jiao really dares to enter the palace to assassinate me, even if tens of thousands of people are killed or injured, he must be buried here."

Cheng Jiao was lying on one side of the beam, yawning softly.

I have to admire Zhao Yan's decisiveness, but it's a pity that it is of no use to him.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."

Looking at the bowl of medicine that seemed to taste even more bitter, Zhao Yan frowned and finally sighed.

"These quack doctors, who only know how to use bitter medicine to murder me all day long, deserve to be killed!" The Queen's white and tender little hands trembled slightly, and she was so scared that she thought Zhao Yan had discovered something.

"My king, drink it while it's hot. If the medicine gets cold, it will be more bitter."

"You're right. The bitter cold medicine last time made me feel uncomfortable for several days." Zhao Yan took the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Bitter medicine cannot be taken slowly, otherwise it will become more and more bitter. He has a lot of experience in this.

Queen Chang smiled with satisfaction. It was worth it that she had been taking the medicine, which made Zhao Yan less wary of her.

"My lord, do you feel it?"

Zhao Yan said angrily: "How can it be that fast? According to past experience, we have to wait at least half an hour..."

"Hmm? Queen, why is it that today's medicine is working so quickly?"

Zhao Yan felt the familiar pain and was a little surprised.

The queen glanced out the window at the cloth strip that had been removed long ago, and her heart was certain.

Youyou said, "That's because I took a little more today."

"Why are you so anxious, Queen? This disease requires..." Zhao Wangyan felt a severe cramp coming from his stomach, as if countless poisonous insects were biting him. "Ah! This...you!"

Zhao Yan stared at the queen with bloodshot eyes, confusion, suspicion and fear switching constantly on his face.

The queen said coldly: "I have tolerated you for a long time, today you can go with peace of mind."

Zhao Yan shouted in grief and anger: "Someone come!"

Two figures suddenly stood beside Zhao Yan, all frowning.

He quickly took out some detoxifying pills and gave them to Zhao Yan to take.

The Queen said calmly, "This is the strongest poison in the Qianri Powder, called Yizhancha. After taking it, there is no medicine to cure it. After a cup of tea, you will die silently. The symptoms are the same as your previous illness. No one will suspect anything, they will just think that you have a sudden illness and there is no way to save you."

After Zhao Yan took the detoxification pill, the colic became much less severe, but he could clearly feel that his vitality was being devoured.

His face became extremely ferocious: "Queen, you dare to harm me? I am so serious about you that I even gave you the position of queen! And you poisoned me!"

The two top attendants drew their swords. With just one word from Zhao Yan, Queen Chang would surely die.

"Asshole, how dare you call me Queen Chang? I am the queen, no, the queen mother. After you die, Qian'er will take your place and kill those who insulted me one by one! Li Mu and your sister, don't let any of them go!" Chang took two steps back, almost shouting at the top of her lungs: "Zhao Yan, after you die, don't wrong me!"

Zhao Yan vomited a mouthful of thick black blood, and his symptoms miraculously improved. He was even able to stand up, which made the Queen unbelievable. What was going on?
As if thinking of something, Zhao Yan laughed sadly: "Thanks to the poison you gave me before, I didn't die immediately this time. Today I will kill you, the poisonous woman, depose Zhao Qian, and rescue Jiaer from Qin!"

Cheng Jiao lay on his side on the beam, watching with interest.

Unexpectedly, due to long-term poisoning, Zhao Yan's poison resistance would become much higher.

What a lucky old guy.

Changhou's expression changed slightly, but she remained calm.

"Lord Chang'an, if you don't take action now, when will you take action?"

"What? You actually colluded with Cheng Jiao?" Zhao Yan fell to the ground, pointed at the queen and trembled, "Bitch! What a bitch!"

The Queen laughed loudly: "Do you really think that I can poison you so easily? You know what kind of strength Cheng Jiao has. You will definitely die today!"

The two top guards looked around vigilantly, but saw no one.

After more than ten breaths, there was still no movement, and the Queen's face changed drastically.

Is Cheng Jiao deliberately playing tricks on her?

Are you using her as a knife?
