Li Jian stood in the bedroom and stared at the empress dowager on the bed.

At this moment, he was holding a long sword in his hand, and blood was dripping from the blade.

And beside Li Jian, Miao Xian was very panicked and was about to call for help.

Li Jian said:

"Does the eunuch really want others to see this scene?"

Miao Xian glared at Li Jian:

"What do you mean? Hurry up, take the Queen Mother away from here with me."

The empress dowager suddenly surged with strength and slapped Miao Xian's hand off.

"Li, Li Jian, say it." The Empress Dowager gasped at Li Jian.

Li Jian's expression became a little weird:

"Does the Queen Mother really want to know?"

The Queen Mother struggled and said, "Say!"

After saying this, the Queen Mother's mouth once again leaked blood foam.

Miao Xian turned his head violently and stared at Li Jian fiercely.

"Whatever you want to say, it's better to finish immediately."

"If the Queen Mother's treatment is delayed, I will not spare you!"

Li Jian sighed:

"Eunuch's order, can't you still see it now? The Queen Mother was poisoned again."

Miao Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.

The Queen Mother was extremely painful, her breathing sounded very long, and she had obvious anger in her eyes, and said:

"Who, who?"

Li Jian stared at the empress dowager, and a trace of unbearance flashed in his eyes.

"The Queen Mother really wants to know?"

Miao Xian raised his tone.

"explain!"

Li Jian nodded and spoke slowly.

"At the beginning, I was suddenly framed and I felt very confused at that time."

"Although I do go to the palace every day, anyone can easily investigate it. I don't have any chance to approach the Queen Mother and poison it."

"What's even more strange is that my suspicion was simply because of the Seventh Princess's nonsense that sounded unproof, and was then established by the king. She was expelled from the palace on the spot and was immediately imprisoned at home."

"I have been thinking about it these days and feel that there should be only one possibility to explain this inexplicable situation."

Miao Xian glanced at the Empress Dowager and asked Li Jian:

"What kind of possibilities?"

Li Jian also glanced at the Empress Dowager, and after confirming that the Empress Dowager was still awake, he said:

"Someone's plan was exposed, and in desperation I wanted to be the scapegoat."

Miao Xian said: "What kind of plan?"

Li Jiandao: "The plot to murder the Queen Mother."

The sleeping hall suddenly became quiet.

Miao Xian took a deep breath and said word by word:

"Who wants to murder the Queen Mother?"

Li Jian spread his hands and said:

"First of all, this person is definitely not me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found an eunuch's order to kill Zhao Ding, the assassin."

The corpse lying on the ground was Zhao Ding, Li Jian and Lou Chang, one of the three commanders of the Langguan Guards, and was also the assassin who had just almost suffocated the queen mother with a bedding.

The eunuch Ling glanced at Zhao Ding and raised his tone slightly:

"Who is the main messenger behind Zhao Ding?"

Li Jian calmly answered.

"It's the king."

The heat waves outside the bedroom were invading, and countless people were clamoring, and basins of water were pouring out, trying their best to curb the fire.

In the bedroom, Miao Xian felt cold all over.

Miao Xian said tremblingly: "You, what did you say?"

Li Jian looked at Miao Xian and sighed:

"Eunuch's order, think about it carefully."

"If you have enough time and opportunity to poison the empress dowager, instigate the seventh princess to falsely accuse me, and order Zhao Ding, a hundred generals of the Langguan Guard, to plot against the empress dowager."

"Who else is there except the king?"

Miao Xian jumped up like an angry tiger and grabbed Li Jian's neckline hard.

"This is impossible. How could the king conspire to murder the Queen Mother!"

Li Jian calmly looked at Miao Xian who was crazy in front of him and said:

"Why didn't the eunuch-ling ask the Queen Mother?"

Miao Xian subconsciously turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes in pain, and a drop of tears emerged from the corners of her eyes and fell to the ground.

Miao Xianru was struck by lightning, let go of Li Jian's hand, retreated in a hurry, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Master, how can he do such a thing?"

Looking at Miao Xian with a pale face, Li Jian shook his head and said to the Empress Dowager:

"Actually, the Queen Mother should have had some doubts before, right? But as a mother, you may not be willing to believe all this."

A heart-wrenching cough.

Suddenly, the empress dowager calmed down and waved to Li Jian.

"Li Jian, come here."

Li Jian walked to the empress dowager and squatted down.

The empress dowager stretched out her hand, grabbed the dagger from Zhao Ding on the ground in front of her, and stabbed Li Jian fiercely.

Li Jian was ready, so he gently flashed to the side and flashed it by.

The Empress Dowager missed a blow, her body was exhausted, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Miao Xian looked at the scene in shock: "Empress Dowager, you..."

The empress dowager suddenly became excited, grabbed the bedding with both hands and roared wildly.

"Miao Xian, kill him!"

"As long as you kill him, no one will know about the king..."

"Come on, kill him, cough cough, cough cough cough!"

The Queen Mother could no longer suppress the toxins in her body, and coughed heart-wrenchingly, and blood kept spewing out of her mouth.

Miao Xian was as stupid as a wooden chicken.

Li Jian looked at the empress dowager who was struggling to reach out to him, and the sigh on his face became stronger and stronger.

"This is maternal love... Even in the end, does the Empress Dowager want to keep the king?"

"Actually, Queen Mother, you are wrong. I don't want to do anything to the king."

"On the contrary, if I cannot walk out of the Great Zhao Palace alive today, someone will spread the truth of the entire case tomorrow so that the entire Handan City and even the entire world will know who murdered the Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager stared at Li Jian tightly and said with hiss:

"You, you... shameless!"

Li Jian's expression became even more weird:

"Shameless? I don't understand. I'm clearly helping the Queen Mother solve the case, right?"

Li Jian let out a breath, took out a bag of things from his arms, and looked at Miao Xian.

"The eunuch's order, the next thing depends on your choice between you and the empress dowager."

While talking, a strange light flashed in Li Jian's eyes.

It is a kind of light that is confident, a mentality that can only be expressed by those who hold the overall situation, and the expression that chess players show when they watch the chess pieces struggle.

Being a human being in three lifetimes, knowing the roots and bottom.

This time, can't you still plot against you!

...

With the efforts of many men, eunuchs and palace maids to fight, the fire that had originally approached the Empress Dowager's bedroom was finally curbed.

The fire began to decrease and it could be extinguished without long.

"Mother Queen, Mother Queen!"

King Zhao let out a heart-wrenching scream and rushed into the bedroom surrounded by a group of ministers and guards.
