Chapter 76: It’s not worth dying for the Li royal family!
"Mom, were you guys watching while the porridge was cooking? Did you see any suspicious people coming in and out of the kitchen?"

In the room of the Wei Chengyi brothers, Shen Xiangwan asked in a serious tone that there was also something wrong with Yan Lang and the others' porridge, which meant that someone had tampered with it when it was being cooked.

"this···"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuping looked at her and then at her children. After thinking carefully for a while, she shook her head and said, "I didn't see anyone suspicious. When the porridge was cooking, we started making buns and steamed buns, and we didn't keep our eyes on the stove. Except for Jinghan and Jingyi, the others didn't have the money to cook for themselves. Besides us, there were only people from the post station in the kitchen, and they all seemed normal."

"wrong."

As soon as Zhao Yuping finished speaking, Wei Ling'er immediately raised an objection. Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, she said with a serious face: "At that time, in addition to the people from the post station, there were also many escorts coming in and out, and people from the Wei and Shen families also went to the kitchen to ask for hot water."

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuping hurriedly nodded in agreement. Except for the people at the post station, everyone else was being watched by Jian Tian'er, so she didn't take it to heart.

With so many people coming in and out of the kitchen, it would be difficult for them to accurately identify the person who poisoned the food.

Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi both fell into silence. Facts proved that their initial concerns were correct. There were indeed minions of the dog emperor among the bailiffs, the Shen family or the Wei family. Wei Chengyi's condition should have been secretly reported back to the imperial city by them. It was not only Qingying and his group who received the kill order.

"They have already started to act. We must be more careful in the future."

After a moment, Shen Xiangwan let out a long breath. The dog emperor was simply not a human being. He had no intention of leaving them a chance to survive.

"Ah."

The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. Before they could determine who had poisoned the people and how many people there were, they could only be on guard passively.

"Second brother, do you know who wants to harm us?"

Looking at them back and forth, Wei Chenghe asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuping and her daughter also looked at them in unison. Facing their gazes, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi exchanged a glance, and after exchanging a look that only they understood, they nodded and said, "Well, I'm sure you all know that the Wei family was wronged, and the one who wronged the Wei family was none other than the current emperor."

"what?"

"how come?"

Wei Chenghe jumped up with a grim look on his face, and Zhao Yuping and her daughter covered their mouths in disbelief. What she meant was that the person who harmed them was the emperor?
"Before the Wei family was confiscated, Cheng Yi had heard the news, and also knew that the emperor would summon him to the palace on the wedding night to harm him, but time was too urgent, and he had no way to change his fate of being confiscated and exiled, so he could only choose to save himself first. Therefore, Cheng Yi pretended to vomit blood and faint that day in order to avoid the murderous hands of the dog emperor. This is also why the palace doctor and the imperial doctor both concluded that he would not live for seven days, but he was getting better and better."

Not failing to notice how shocked they were, Shen Xiangwan still revealed some truths, half true and half false. The Dog Emperor's men had already begun to act, and if they were kept in the dark and unprepared, they might be tricked again one day. After all, she wouldn't always discover poison in the food by chance.

The most important thing is that when they know that poisoning is useless, they will most likely take more drastic measures. If Zhao Yuping and her mother and son are still not prepared, they will fall into the trap sooner or later.

"Really?" Zhao Yuping's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was almost broken. Her father-in-law, husband and eldest son all died on the battlefield. Cheng Yi was also poisoned on the battlefield. The eldest branch of the Wei family was a family of loyal heroes. How could the emperor treat them like this? Wasn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of the generals? Who would dare to charge into battle for the Li royal family in the future?
"Ah."

Facing her tearful eyes, Wei Chengyi nodded and continued after a moment of deliberation: "When I suddenly woke up that day, someone came to the post station at night to check if I really had only a few days to live. They were the Dragon Shadow Guards, the emperor's exclusive shadow guards, who specialized in helping him deal with things that were not convenient for him to handle personally. They followed us secretly since we left the imperial city, with the purpose of making sure I was dead. If I was not dead, they would personally take action and send me off."

Wanwan’s decision was right, and it’s time to let them know about these things.

"That's why, every time we rest at the inn, I cook for us myself."

Looking at them, Shen Xiangwan calmly took over the conversation. When other people wanted to improve their meals, they asked the people at the post station to prepare them and then waited to eat the ready-made food. Only they always did it themselves.

“So… um…”

After hearing this, what else don’t they understand?

Zhao Yuping covered her face and cried uncontrollably. She was not crying for herself, nor because of the emperor's cruelty, but for her father-in-law, husband and eldest son who had died in the battlefield one after another. This was the dynasty they had desperately protected and the emperor they had worked hard to serve. At this moment, she felt it was not worth it for them from the bottom of her heart. If she was given a chance, she would do her best to stop them from going to the battlefield again. It was not worth dying for the Li royal family!
"damn it!"

"bump!"

Wei Chenghe slammed his fist on the table, tears in his eyes, and his young and handsome face was filled with naked anger and hostility.

On the other side, Wei Ling'er also lowered her head and wiped her tears silently. She was not afraid, but like her mother, she felt sorry for her relatives who died in the battle and hated the current emperor for being too cruel.

Knowing that they needed time to vent and calm down, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi did not say anything to comfort them. After their emotions calmed down a little, the two urged them to eat the steamed buns that were already a little cold. As for the two pots of poisonous mutton porridge, Wei Chengyi handed them to Qingying and the others later, and ordered them to hide in the dark, provide close protection, and keep an eye on whether other people are suspicious from today on.

It was a rare occasion that she had a room to herself tonight, so after Shen Xiangwan washed up, she closed the doors and windows and slipped into the room.

"Owner."

Seeing her show up, the busy people from one to ten all bowed and greeted her. They looked exactly like real people, and each one was more handsome than the other. In Shen Xiangwan's words, since you can choose your appearance, of course the more handsome the better, right?

"Well, I will continue to send things into the space later, and I will continue to trouble you from now on."

Nodding and pressing her hand, Shen Xiangwan spoke in a serious tone, at this moment, the open space in front of the villa was densely packed with all kinds of supplies, the most of which were silver and grain. The reason why she asked No. 1 to wake up No. 3 to No. 10 last night was to ask them to help sort the supplies so that she could deliver them to the people's homes one by one. This was also the reason why she could accurately deliver twenty taels of silver and two hundred kilograms of grain to every household.
