Chapter 251 Is he getting better soon?
"You have been waiting in the palace for our great plan for twenty-three years. This king knows all of this. This king understands your loyalty to me, but it is an emergency and we cannot make our identities public yet. You will have to endure this for a while longer."
"When the prince takes the throne, you will be the queen mother and I will be the emperor, and all our hard work over the years will not be in vain."
"Then we can be together openly and honestly, and we won't have to worry about worldly opinions. If anyone dares to say we are wrong, I will have them killed to vent your anger."
It would have been fine if Prince Nan Xiao didn't mention Luo Jingshen, but as soon as he mentioned this, Concubine Li got angry.
She remembered the purpose of asking King Nan Xiao out today, and when she thought of Luo Jingshen's attitude towards him, Concubine Li felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She bit her lip and said worriedly, "Zhenglang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has some misunderstandings about me now. I'm afraid that he will not want to recognize us at that time. What should we do?"
As Concubine Li spoke, she gave Prince Nan Xiao a brief account of what had happened in the Eastern Palace.
"This is what happened. He broke his leg when he came down from the Six Blind Mountains. I just wanted to bring him some supplements and repair our relationship. I didn't expect that because of a prostitute, I would be kicked out of the East Palace by the prince."
As Concubine Li spoke, she began to cry again in grievance, her voice sad.
"For his future, I stayed in the palace for 23 years. Not only did I live a life worse than death every day, but I couldn't even recognize him. How could he do this to me?"
King Nan Xiao hated to hear women crying. Tonight, Concubine Li cried in his ears all night long, and now his head was filled with the sound of women sobbing.
His patience in coaxing her just now seemed to have run out, his face turned cold and his tone became a little impatient.
"Alright, alright, why are you crying? He doesn't know the relationship between you and him, so it's normal for him to do this."
"Don't forget, if he wants to sit on the throne, he can't do without the help of you and me. As long as he is not too stupid, he will not deny you after knowing the truth."
King Nan Xiao was very confident and felt that there was no need to worry about this at all.
They have something on Luo Jingshen, so what if there is no father-son relationship between them?
If they get Luo Chengyuan down and let him sit in that position, wouldn't the world belong to them?
Concubine Li still had visible worry on her face, "But..."
Nan Xiao Wang interrupted her, "No buts, since he has a grudge against you and doesn't want to see you, just be patient for a while and don't go near him. You've been through this for the past 23 years, why do you still care about the last few months?"
Concubine Li became anxious instantly, her face twisted, "But, Luo Junhe is almost well!"
"I really regret letting him marry Ji Yuntang, such a disaster. I should have asked Doctor Zhu to kill him earlier, so that I wouldn't have to live in fear every day."
King Nan Xiao glanced at Concubine Li, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Do you really think that country girl can cure his illness?"
Concubine Li was puzzled. "Luo Qingge and Luo Sinian have both visited him personally, and both said that Luo Junhe's condition is getting better soon. Could this be false?"
King Nan Xiao turned around and sat down, looking at him sarcastically and asked, "Do you know what kind of poison is in his body?"
Concubine Li looked at him in confusion.
A murky look appeared in King Nan Xiao's eyes, and he explained to her:
"This poison is called Bone-Breaking Sand. Anyone who is poisoned by it will be bedridden for the rest of their lives, becoming a paraplegic who can't even eat, drink, defecate or urinate."
"The only antidote to it is Dragon Scale Grass, but Dragon Scale Grass grows in the territory of Western Shu. The growing conditions are very harsh. It takes fifty years to bloom and hundreds of years to produce one fruit. Many of them die before they are ripe. It is extremely difficult to find."
"If he can't find the dragon scale grass, Luo Junhe will never be able to stand up again in his life. Even if his face and eyes are healed, what good will it do? Will the people of Dongchen allow a cripple who can't even stand up to be the emperor?"
Concubine Li was slightly distracted, and she asked again: "Dragon scale grass is so hard to find, is there nothing else in the world?"
King Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I have heard that the royal family of Western Shu has a dragon scale grass fruit. They regard it as a treasure and worship it every year. They never let outsiders see it, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"But even if it's true, there's no need to worry."
"The people of West Shu are good at making weapons, and their troops are stronger than those of East Chen. They are tough and have always admired the strong. If Luo Junhe had led the troops to fight like he did three years ago instead of being paralyzed in bed, perhaps West Shu would have given him the dragon scale grass if he had used some methods."
"But now, he is a useless man with nothing in his hands. He doesn't even have a servant to serve him. Why would the Western Shu Kingdom give him the Dragon Scale Grass?"
Concubine Li was slightly stunned, but she felt relieved a lot.
She asked doubtfully: "Zhenglang, could it be that you had anticipated these things three years ago?"
King Nan Xiao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his tone indifferent.
"I asked you to poison Luo Junhe because of these things. What else do you think?"
"Don't you understand yet? I never do anything I'm not sure of."
He changed the subject, his eyes suddenly sharp as a knife, "Since we can't kill him openly, we have to poison him to completely destroy him to prevent future troubles."
Concubine Li loved Prince Nan Xiao's confident look as if he was in control of the overall situation.
She came closer attentively, with even more admiration for King Nan Xiao in her eyes.
"Zheng Lang, I knew that you have always been very capable and never made mistakes. How could that wolf cub Luo Junhe possibly defeat you?"
"I had a bad attitude just now. I apologize for my disrespect. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Concubine Li's breath was as sweet as orchid. She twisted her body and sat on Prince Nan Xiao's thigh, touching his body in an indecent manner.
King Nan Xiao's breathing became heavier. As a normal man, how could he resist such temptation?
He immediately picked up Concubine Li, and the two of them rolled quickly on the bed again.

Night Palace, the next day at dawn.
Luo Junhe had just gotten up and finished his breakfast when he saw Ji Yuntang walking in mysteriously with a faint smile on his face.
"Ahe, I want to give you a gift. You will definitely like it when you see it."
Ji Yuntang clapped his hands, and Taozhi immediately pushed something in from outside the door.
Luo Junhe turned his head and found that the thing she pushed in was actually a black wheelchair.
The wheelchair was finely crafted and very beautiful, very different from any wheelchair he had ever seen.
Especially in terms of raw materials, it is obviously not made of wood.
"Atang, did you do this?" Luo Junhe asked with curiosity.
