    Chapter 191

    Lu Yi was restless, covering his mouth and yawning from time to time, breaking into cold sweats.  Ever since the businessman who sold him Worry-Free Grass disappeared, he felt something was wrong.  The reason is actually simple. He saw with his own eyes that Sun Quan couldn't put down the soup made from the worry-free grass. He finally couldn't resist the temptation and took out the worry-free grass he had hidden for a taste. As soon as he tasted it, he felt it was extremely delicious. Later, he couldn't resist the temptation.  Slowly I got better with this sip, and soon I felt that I couldn't live without this worry-free grass. If I didn't drink a bowl of soup every day, I always felt that something was missing.

    Although Wuyoucao is expensive, Lu Yi earns a lot of money. Especially after doing school affairs, many people gave him a lot of gifts for safety reasons. Now, although Lu Yi does not have a high official position, his family is quite wealthy.  , even the business that they used to rely on for a living no longer takes it seriously.  A year's hard work is not worth a bribe. The money was too hard to come by. Lu Yi felt that he had made a big mistake in doing business so carefully before.

    However, now he was holding the gold but could not find the worry-free grass. Waves of sleepiness came up, making him irritable and restless, feeling weak all over, but also experiencing waves of heart palpitations.

    He was not worried about himself, but worried about Sun Quan - he knew that Sun Quan needed the Worry-free Grass more than he did. Once the stock at Mrs. Wang's place was exhausted, she would definitely come back to ask for it.  It will inevitably be exposed.  This woman is no longer the cautious woman she was before. Relying on Sun Quan's favor, she has almost regarded herself as the Queen Mother. It seems that her son Sun He has sat on the throne of King Wu. Not only does she interfere in everything, she even treats him as a confidant.  Not so polite anymore.  If Sun Quan was angered by the Wuyoucao incident, Lu Yi had no doubt that this woman would regard him as a scapegoat.

    But why did the businessman disappear?  Could it be that he hasn't come back from doing business yet?  The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He sent someone to investigate the businessman privately, but other than knowing that he came from Jiaozhou, he knew nothing else.

    There were many businessmen coming from Jiaozhou, and almost all of them passed by Jiaozhou. How could he know where this businessman was from?  Lu Yi suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. He seemed not to know whether this businessman was a Roman, a Sasanian, or a Kushan. Anyway, in his eyes, those Hu businessmen seemed to be the same.  What's more, in addition to businessmen from these three countries, there are also Hu businessmen from many other small countries.

    Just when Lu Yi was nervous, Sun Quan sent someone to call him. Lu Yi did not dare to neglect, and immediately got on the carriage and rushed to Wu Palace.  As soon as he entered the palace gate, Lu Yi felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart: Mrs. Wang was kneeling aside with her hair disheveled, her originally pretty cheeks had been swollen into pig heads, countless palm prints were crisscrossed, green and purple, Sun He  He was sobbing and kneeling next to her, but he didn't even dare to cry loudly. He just held Mrs. Wang's arm and trembled.  Mrs. Wang groaned feebly and almost collapsed on the ground. When she saw Lu Yi, her eyes that were so swollen that she couldn't open them showed a malicious light and hissed: "Thief, you you hurt me  ¡­¡±

    "Where did this poison come from?" The livid Sun Quan strode up to Lu Yi like an enraged bull, kicked him in the chest, and kicked Lu Yi who had just knelt down and was about to salute.  He turned on his back, his throat sweetened, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

    Poison?  In an instant, Lu Yi lost all hope and felt that everything he had in the past was a dream.  He always felt that he was Sun Quan's confidant and his favorite, but now he found that he was not even as good as a dog in Sun Quan's eyes.

    "Speak quickly!" Sun Quan roared, his voice hoarse.

    "Boughtbought." Lu Yi turned over and knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice, his usual calmness was gone.

    "Where did you buy it from?" Sun Quan pulled out the knife and put it on Lu Yi's neck. The murderous aura penetrated his skin and made the hair on Lu Yi's neck stand up.

    Lu Yi often used executions when handling cases, and more than one person was beaten to death by him. Once upon a time, he felt that he was the kind of person who could talk and laugh in the face of blood and death. But when this danger suddenly came to him, he  But he could no longer control his fear. He fell to the ground and couldn't even speak.

    "Drag him down and torture him." Sun Quan flew into a rage, kicked Lu Yi over, and strode back. He had just climbed a few steps, but felt his legs go weak, and he tripped over and fell to the ground, hitting his face on the steps.  On the ground, blood suddenly flowed from his face.

    Sun Shangxiang was shocked. He quickly stepped forward to help him up and dragged him to the palace to lie down. He also ordered the imperial physician Zhao Quan to be called.  Zhao Quan felt Sun Quan's pulse and sighed silently.  Just as Sun Shangxiang was about to speak, Zhao Quan calmly shook his head and motioned for Sun Shangxiang to speak outside the hall.

    "The king is just angry for a moment, it's not serious, it's just"

    Sun Shangxiang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Speak directly if you have anything to say."

      "As long as you take good care of yourself, the king's body is fine. It's just that his pulse is rapid and slippery. I I really don't know why." Zhao Quan cupped his hands and said word by word: "This pulse condition, I have given you before.  The king has seen it when he took his pulse, but it is good and bad at times. I have never been able to figure out the cause, and this time it seems to be more serious than before. I am not good at medical skills, so I really don¡¯t know what this means."

    At this moment, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu came over after hearing the news. They happened to hear Zhao Quan's words. They looked at each other, and while greeting Sun Shangxiang, they asked anxiously in unison: "Princess, can you invite me from Funan?"  How many doctors are coming?"

    "Alas" Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly and did not answer their words. He first ordered Zhao Quan to take medicine, and then told Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu about Sun Quan's poisoning.  Xu Bu and the other two were shocked and immediately at a loss.

    "It's useless for you to be anxious. It's better not to make any noise, so as not to panic people." Sun Shangxiang comforted him helplessly.

    With tears streaming down their cheeks, Xu Bu and the two had no choice but to nod in agreement. They had been standing guard outside the palace, never leaving.

    In the evening, Sun Quan woke up. He was trembling all over and his eyes were scattered. When he saw Sun Shangxiang and others, he was just surprised for a moment, and then hissed: "Tang is coming Tang is coming"

    "There's no more soup." Sun Shangxiang said bitterly. Although she didn't have a good impression of Sun Quan, she still felt very sad when she saw Sun Quan like this. "Don't you still think he's been poisoned?"

    "Poisoned?" Sun Quan finally understood in a daze, his eyes glazed over, and then he shook his head in pain: "Here comes the soup, here comes the soup, I want to drink soup, I want to drink soup"

    Sun Shangxiang remembered what Sun Shao said and knew that if Sun Quan was not allowed to drink this soup now, it would be useless to say anything to him.  In desperation, she had to ask people to go to Mrs. Wang's palace to find soup. Fortunately, these soups were prepared every day. The people in the palace only knew that Mrs. Wang was unlucky, but they didn't know it.  Because of the soup, he carefully guarded it and did not throw it away. The people sent by Sun Shangxiang quickly brought a large can of cooked soup.

    Mrs. Bu carefully scooped some soup for Sun Quan and prepared to wait for Sun Quan to drink it. However, Sun Quan couldn't wait any longer. As soon as he smelled the soup, he kept sniffing his nose. As soon as Mrs. Bu scooped it up, he grabbed it.  He drank it in three sips without caring about the heat, and while sticking out his tongue, he motioned to Mrs. Bu to scoop some more.

    Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Quan coldly, feeling distressed and angry.

    Sun Quan drank two large bowls of soup, then he let out a long breath as if he had regained his soul, and lay down again. After being silent for a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Sun Shangxiang: "Where is Zhao Quan, he  How to say?"

    "There's nothing he can do." Sun Shangxiang said coldly: "Don't count on Funan College. Funan College doesn't have any medicine to treat this disease."

    Sun Quan was choked for words and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "He won't save me?"

    "It's not that you don't want to save, it's that you can't save." Sun Shangxiang repeated what Sun Shao said: "Whether you can survive it all depends on yourself."

    "Look at myself?" Sun Quan murmured, his eyes gradually becoming sharp. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "What if I can't make it through?" He turned his head and looked at Sun Shangxiang coldly: "Is he  Are you planning to attack the Kingdom of Wu and turn Wu and Yue into a family?"

    Sun Shangxiang also met Sun Quan's gaze coldly, with a contemptuous sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think Wu Guo is very attractive?"

    Sun Quan didn't say a word, just looked at Sun Shangxiang without a smile. If it weren't for the sunken cheeks and gray complexion, it would be almost impossible to tell the difference between him and the previous one. That kind of calm and majestic majesty made Queen Xu standing aside.  He and Mrs. Bu consciously kept their mouths shut, for fear of causing trouble if they opened their mouths.  They looked at Sun Shangxiang nervously, but Sun Shangxiang was not shaken by Sun Quan's gaze at all. On the contrary, the sarcasm in her eyes became more and more obvious.

    The anger on Sun Quan's face grew stronger and stronger, and he squeezed tightly with his skinny hands.  He had indulged Sun Shangxiang in the past, but he could not tolerate Sun Shangxiang showing such an attitude in front of him.

    "You are still like that, you only have such a small piece of sky in your eyes." Sun Shangxiang said disdainfully: "You don't know how big the world is, and you don't know that the land you are holding on to and refusing to let go is actually not that attractive.  Man, although this land is not originally yours."

    "Isn't it mine? Is it his?" Sun Quan suddenly became excited: "I know, you have always thought that this is the inheritance passed down from your father and brother. Everyone thinks that this should be his, but have you ever thought about it?  If it weren't for me, this land would no longer have the surname Sun? Cao Cao wanted it, and I defeated him. Liu Bei also wanted it, and it was me who tried my best to save this land. Now you areAre you saying it's not mine?  Whose is that?  Sun Quan slapped the edge of the couch and roared loudly: "Tell me, whose is that?"  Is it yours? Is it his?  No, this is mine and no one can take it away.  "

    Sun Shangxiang looked at the angry Sun Quan coldly and said nothing. Sun Quan roared and beat his chest. Two lines of thick tears flowed down his thin cheeks, soaking his beard, which was as dull and irrelevant as withered grass. His voice was slow.  Slowly, the roar turned into sobs, and finally burst into tears like a wronged child.

    Sun Shangxiang squinted at Sun Quan, suddenly stretched out his hand, swept everything on the case in front of Sun Quan to the ground, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it on the case, stood up, looked down at Sun Quan, and said with  Chin said: "Do you recognize this map? Find your land from it."

    Sun Quan was stunned, staring at the hazy tearful eyes, and glanced at the map subconsciously.  The map is not very big. It can be seen that it is just a simple map. The location of the Wu Kingdom is not marked on it. It only marks the three countries of Han, Rome, and Kushan. The more detailed one is the large land between Rome and Kushan.  , was divided into more than a dozen pieces, with several names marked on them, including Li Yan, Lu Xun, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Xia Hourong.  Sun Quan quickly turned his attention to the territory of the Han Dynasty. Although this area did not indicate the location of Wei, Shu, Wu and Yue, it was separated by several lines.

    The location of Wu State is not difficult to distinguish.  Sun Quan often looked at maps and was no stranger to the terrain. However, most of the maps he looked at before were those within the Han Dynasty. At that time, he felt that the area of ??Wu was quite large, although it only accounted for half of Jingzhou, most of Yangzhou, and more of the thirty states.  Jiaozhou, but the actual area is close to one-fifth, but now he found that the one-fifth that he had always been proud of was insignificant on this map. At best, it was about the same as the piece of land marked Cao Zhang, and it was similar to the land labeled Cao Zhang.  Compared with the vast territory of Yue State, it is obviously not worth mentioning.

    Sun Quan immediately understood what Sun Shangxiang meant, and his face felt hot.  He quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at Sun Shangxiang anymore. He turned his head away in embarrassment and remained silent.

    Sun Shangxiang snorted and slowly rolled up the map: "Feng Xian is going to Luoyang to present prisoners, and at the same time to request a seal for Boyan and others. Can you go?"

    "Do you think I can go like this?" Sun Quan asked angrily.

    "The emperor has issued an edict to celebrate Feng Xian's victory in Luoyang. If you, my uncle, don't go, what will they think?" Sun Shangxiang put the map in his arms and said lightly.

    "I" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "I mean, Amei, you said that I arrived in Luoyang like this, didn't I bring disgrace on Fengxian's face? If that's the case, why bother asking for humiliation?  ? Fengxian has made great contributions. Even if I don't go to the meeting, what can Cao Rui, Liu Chan and other children do to him? He asked Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Li Yan to be crowned kings. This is clearly to separate Wei Shu.  In terms of strength, from now on, will there be anyone in Wei, Shu, and Wu who can compete with him?"

    "How to solve the problem of Zi Gao?" Sun Shangxiang said straightforwardly: "Everyone in the world said that the King of Wu was seduced by women and forced the prince to die. Don't you want to explain it?"

    Sun Quan had a look of regret on his face, and after hesitating for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "This is my Wu Kingdom's business, why should I explain it to others?"

    "Don't forget, Wu is also a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. If the emperor asks about it, so what?"

    "What do you think?" Sun Quan was annoyed and asked Sun Shangxiang angrily: "Tell me, what should I do? Do you want me to go and apologize to the emperor like this?"

    Sun Shangxiang frowned and softened his tone: "Even if you don't go to Luoyang, you should still make some preparations. The position of crown prince has been empty for a long time, and you plan to keep doing this?"

    "II was" Sun Quan murmured a few words, and suddenly sighed, two lines of tears overflowed from his eyes again, and he swallowed: "You are so tall"

    "Where is Zi Gao's child?" Sun Shangxiang was not interested in talking to him, and said straightforwardly: "Everyone in the world thought that Zi Gao was dead and complained about him. Why don't you use his son as your heir?  By blocking the world's mouth, can you also comfort the spirit of your son who is high in the sky?"

    Sun Quan frowned and his face darkened. After a while, he said impatiently: "I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to decide this matter. Although Zigao is dead, I still have several sons.  Why must Zi Gao's youngest son be the heir? Go back and tell him that I have my own opinions on the affairs of the State of Wu, and it is too early for him to become the Duke of Zhou."

    Sun Shangxiang sneered and glanced at Sun Quan meaningfully: "Then you can take care of yourself." After saying that, she saluted Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu, turned around and went out.  Sun Quan rolled his eyes in anger, but was helpless. He closed his eyes in anger and breathed heavily, without even looking at Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu.  When Xu Bu and the two saw him, they sighed secretly and had no choice but to say goodbye and leave the palace.

     Sun Quan was lying on the couch, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that this was Sun Shao's idea again. It seemed that he wanted to seek justice for Sun Deng, but in fact he hoped to indirectly control the national affairs of Wu.  Sun Deng's son is still young. After he succeeds to the throne, he can only rely on Sun Shao's support to hold this land. He is no match for Sun Shao. Maybe one day the Wu Kingdom will disappear and become part of the Yue Kingdom.

    Why should I let my grandson be my heir?  I still have three sons to choose from.  Sun Quan thought angrily, thinking of a suitable candidate in his mind, but his mind was in a mess. The energy aroused by the bowl of soup he just drank seemed to be exhausted in the quarrel with Sun Shangxiang.  Suddenly, the fatigue came back, causing him to open his mouth uncontrollably and yawn, and tears and snot flowed down uncontrollably.

    "Ali!" Sun Quan closed his eyes and shouted weakly.

    "Your Majesty, I am here." Gu Li walked out from the side silently, knelt in front of Sun Quan's couch, and carefully checked Sun Quan's situation.  Sun Quan's helpless look made him feel heartbroken, but he couldn't help but think about it.

    "Bring me some more soup"

    "Your Majesty" Gu Li looked at the soup spilled on the floor and said in embarrassment: "Just they were all beaten by the princess."

    Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, stood up and glanced at the soup flowing on the floor, and then remembered.  He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Go let that bitch endure a little longer. I'm really really uncomfortable."

    Gu Li hesitated for a moment, then quickly got up and ran out. Not long after, he ran back again empty-handed, faced Sun Quan's longing eyes, and shook his head.  Sun Quan was greatly disappointed, and then became furious. He pushed himself up with all his strength and shouted loudly: "Go and find her, arrest all the people in her palace, and interrogate them one by one. If you can't make this soup, I will let them all."  Go to hell!"
