Chapter 0118 – When was the poison given? (2 / 2)

General Lin said with bravado, “Good, I’ll beg the Emperor to let him hand over the remaining members of the West Wind Walled City to me for arrangement!”

Shen Junze hooked his lips, lowered his head, slowly finished eating a pigeon, wiped his mouth, elegantly got up, and left the seat with Lingkong.

Just as Shen Junze was about to go back to his place, he suddenly felt a palpitation, and Lingkong freaked out and hurriedly helped him to find Jiang Zhi.

“Dr. Jiang, my son is not feeling well again, Dr. Jiang, you should quickly give my son a look!”

Jiang resigned and asked Lin Kong to help Shen Jun Ze come in, made him sit down and took his pulse, then asked Lin Kong to go to the door to guard it.

Lingkong obediently went, only Jiang Zhi and Shen Junze remained in the room, Jiang Zhi shouted, “Shizi? Don’t pretend, where are you uncomfortable?”

Shen Junze leaned back in his chair and asked Jiang Zhi, “When was the poison given?”

Sure enough, Shen Junze also guessed that she had poisoned her, and Jiang Zhi didn’t hide it from him, and directly said, “The tealight you drank last night was newly added, and it was poisoned there.”

“What about General Lin’s?”

“General Lin’s well, I poured him tea in the tea he drank this morning.”

Shen Junze’s eyes were calm, his tone was light, and the words that came out of his mouth were, “Why is my poison, different from General Lin’s?”

“Because Shizi is noble, surely you need a more powerful poison, a poison that makes people think it will be life-threatening, to scare General Lin ah, otherwise what if you ordered the massacre of the West Wind Walled City? It’s just that many people, well at least leave some for the people.”

Shen Junze’s brows drooped coldly, “So it’s just to make people think that it’s life-threatening, and it’s not really highly poisonous, right?”

This question was asked, and Jiang Zhi didn’t want to answer it, but Shen Junze had discovered her secret, and Jiang Zhi had to coax him.

“Uh-huh.”

Shen Junze’s fingers curled up slightly, “Jiang Zhi, what the hell are you doing? Do you really know what you’re doing?”

“We just want to protect ourselves, don’t you see? We want to submit to the court, but we want to be a force unto ourselves, wouldn’t an extra army in His Majesty’s hands be like adding wings to a tiger?”

“One more army, what kind of army? An uncontrollable army, a disloyal army?”

“You’re overthinking it, Shen Junze.”

Shen Junze looked at Jiang Zhi with focused and shallow brows, “Is that so? Were you guys trained by Prime Minister Cui?”

“No.”

“Yes or no, I will investigate it myself, I only trust my own eyes, my own judgment.”

Jiang Ru shrugged his shoulders indifferently, “You check ah, West Wind Walled City is not as complicated as you think, it is a group of people who have no love and no home to get together, just to warm up.

I forgot, how could someone with such an honorable status and thousands of favorites like Shen Shizi understand?”

Shen Junze lightly retorted, “No.”
