Chapter 66: The minister Li Ru asked the Queen Mother to lead him to death! [Please read and ask for monthly votes]
Soaring into the sea, he looks like a dragon or a dragon; riding on horseback, he looks like flying through the clouds and mist, and he is as fast as wind and thunder.
This is the world-famous BMW horse Red Rabbit.
Cao Ang was riding on the horse at the moment, feeling very happy in his heart. If he hadn't accidentally mastered the riding skills last night, I'm afraid the red rabbit wouldn't be of use at all today.
Feeling the strong wind blowing on both sides of his face and the buildings that were retreating on both sides of the streets, Cao Ang did not feel free and elegant at all.
Just extremely nervous.
Although he knew that Red Rabbit Horse was already a famous horse in the world and was probably the fastest in the world, Cao Ang couldn't help but think about it silently.
Hurry up!
Faster!
As the war horse galloped at a high speed, Cao Ang felt hot all over his body at the moment. No matter how strong the wind blew in front of him, it could not lower the temperature even a little bit.
The hands that tightly grasped the reins were covered with hot sweat, and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead, but Cao Ang had no time to wipe it off, and he did not dare to waste a moment.
The heart was beating continuously in the chest, as if it was about to fly out of the heart, and the sound in the head was also filled with roaring.
This really happened too quickly.
It was so close that Cao Ang was caught off guard.
What's going on with Dong Zhuo? Wasn't the court meeting just ended yesterday? Why is it taking action today?
Just yesterday morning, Emperor Liu Bian was deposed as King Hongnong, and the Queen Mother's crown was removed. According to the original plan, he should be imprisoned in the palace next.
After imprisoning them for a while, they waited for the ministers' attention to shift and forgot the mother and son in a corner, and then killed them one by one.
But it’s only one day!
The place of house arrest was not even arranged. It can be said that this process was simply omitted, and the scene was fast-forwarded to the poisoning of Queen Mother He in an instant.
Cao Ang didn't understand what Dong Zhuo was thinking, or whether something had changed that he hadn't noticed, so that Dong Zhuo changed his mind and wanted to end the life of Queen Mother He immediately.
Precisely because he did not expect that Dong Zhuo would take action in such a short period of time, Cao Ang made no preparation at all.
Fortunately, the eunuch who ran out of the palace to report the news acted quickly. If he had taken Diao Chan to the outskirts of the city at half past one in the evening, it would have been too late!
Cao Ang galloped forward while silently making some calculations in his mind.
There was a long journey between the time the eunuch discovered Li Ru and when this guy arrived at the Queen Mother's palace.
In addition, it is impossible for Li Wenyou to force someone to drink poisoned wine as soon as he saw the Queen Mother. This is extremely illogical.
It would more or less make the Queen Mother drink the poisonous wine herself, giving her the last bit of dignity.
So there is some free time in between.
Now it depends on how capable Queen Mother He is, how long she can hold Li Ru back, and how long she can delay her arrival before Li Ru's patience wears off.
That means everything is fine.
Otherwise...it's hard to say!
…
At this moment in the Queen Mother's palace.
The atmosphere can be described as quite tense.
Empress Dowager He was sitting alone on the soft couch, biting her lower lip lightly, and you could see obvious panic in her eyes. She was just trying to hold herself together and not let herself fall. After all, she was the one who was going to fight next.
Main force.
Hongnong King Liu Bian and Tang Ji were gathered together. They looked at Li Ru who was sitting on the other side tremblingly, with great fear in their hearts.
Li Ru still had the same feminine face. Although he was wearing a scholar's robe and a crown, there was no trace of scholarly charm in his body, and he was full of ruthless malice.
On the table in front of Li Ru, there was a wine pot and a glass of slightly turbid water and wine quietly placed. No matter how you looked at it, you felt that there was something wrong with the wine.
Several people just looked at each other in silence, and the time and space around them seemed to freeze at this moment.
After waiting for quite a while.
Li Ru began to frown, as if he was losing his patience, and then Empress Dowager He took the initiative to speak.
"Li Qing, what do you mean?"
Li Ru forced a smile on his face, and said with a sad smile: "The summer is hot and the weather is hot. Dong Gong is worried that the two sages are not feeling well, so he specially asked his ministers to bring a pot of fine wine for them.
The two venerables are cooling off from the heat."
"Please drink this wine immediately, so that I can go back and report to Duke Dong."
Seeing the scary smile on Li Ru's face, Queen Mother He couldn't help but shudder, and a little fear arose from the bottom of her heart.
No matter how stupid she is, she still knows that she cannot drink this wine.
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
With Dong Zhuo's temperament, he never paid much attention to her, the Queen Mother, or Liu Bian, the former emperor, and did not treat them as venerable people at all.
What's more, now that the emperor is already King Hongnong, and she no longer has the status of queen mother, the mother and son are tied together, which is not worthy of Dong Zhuo's attention.
In addition, Cao Ang had always reminded her that after Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and established King Chenliu as emperor.
In order to completely cut off the possibility of the Manchu ministers reinstating Liu Bian again, they would definitely kill the mother and son together to avoid future troubles.
Then it is probably self-evident what the nature of this pot of wine is.
Especially the wine delivered by Li Ru, a key figure whom Cao Ang had warned repeatedly, Queen Mother He felt that poisonous juice was boiling in it just by looking at it.
As long as she drinks it, she will die on the spot in a short time. From then on, she will wave goodbye to this beautiful world, and her son will probably follow in her footsteps and end up in hell.
Of course Queen Mother He didn't want to die.
But the problem is that she has no choice now.
Don't look at the weird smile on Li Ru's face now, which seems to be a bit friendly, but in fact it is just a smile hiding a knife, and what is revealed behind the smile is that it cannot be refused.
If you choose to drink it, the scene will be peaceful and peaceful, and you will go on your way peacefully.
If she refused, I'm afraid Li Ru would overturn the table on the spot and forcefully drink the poisoned wine to himself. Even if she refused to drink it, he might even cut off her head with a knife.
The word "death" is used on both sides. If you cooperate, you will die decently. If you don't cooperate, you will die more tragically.
Just as Queen Mother He's mind was racing with thoughts.
Li Ru was really impatient now.
He grabbed the wine bottle with his left hand, and pushed the cup in front of the Queen Mother with his right hand. The smile on his face gradually solidified, and the viciousness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
His eyes were fixed on Queen Mother He, as if to indicate that she had better be wiser and lead her to death honestly.
An invisible pressure from Li Ru was forced towards the mother and son, and Bohai King Liu Bian seemed to be faintly about to cry again.
Faced with such high pressure, Queen Mother He moved her right hand slightly, but quickly put it down.
He smiled to himself and said: "Since it is a fine wine for relieving the heat, why don't Li Qing drink it together?"
