Chapter 268 Poisonous Weed
Liu Chun continued.
"The prince is a nobleman, and he eats delicacies from the mountains and the sea. How can he understand the hardships of ordinary soldiers like us? There is not enough food and grass, and they can't eat enough. They have to pick some weeds to satisfy their hunger. Shouldn't the prince punish us for this?"
Li Yunxing glanced at it, and Jin Xi immediately stepped forward, took out the remaining wild vegetables from the pot and handed them to Liu Chun.
"Who dug this wild vegetable? And who handed it to you? Do you recognize this wild vegetable? Do you know it is poisonous?"
Liu Chun subconsciously shrank back, frowned, and wanted to stay away from the wild vegetables.
"I don't remember who dug it. I don't recognize the wild vegetables, and I don't know they are poisonous. If I knew the wild vegetables were poisonous, I wouldn't cook them for the soldiers to drink."
Li Yunxing saw that she was retorting, so he asked Jinxi to hold her down and forcefully stuffed the wild vegetables into her mouth.
Liu Chun naturally resisted desperately. She knew that these wild vegetables were slightly toxic. Just boiling them with water and drinking a little would cause vomiting and diarrhea. But if such a large dose was consumed, it could poison people to death.
She refused to eat, but she was such a thin woman that she couldn't break free from Jin Xi's hand.
When the people around him saw this, they wanted to go up and help, but the imperial guards behind Li Yunxing stepped forward and intimidated them all.
So Liu Chun stuffed her mouth full of wild vegetables and wanted to spit it out, but Jin Xi blocked her mouth tightly.
Maybe she accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls of wild vegetables when she was struggling just now. The poison of the wild vegetables came on very quickly. She already felt that her eyes were going dark and her mind was not clear. At this moment, Li Yunxing's voice came from above her head.
Like a demon.
"You don't recognize these wild vegetables, and you cooked the soup yourself. Naturally, you can't waste it. Give me all the remaining wild vegetables and soup until she wants to say it."
Even though Liu Chun was vaguely conscious, she still heard Li Yunxing's words clearly, which was clearly about killing people. She widened her eyes and called Liu Chen's name in her heart. After all, only the general could save her at this time.
Fortunately, Liu Chen had been paying attention to what was going on here. After noticing something unusual, he immediately rushed over with his soldiers. Upon seeing this, he immediately cheered.
But since Jinxi was from Li Yunxing, he would not listen to Liu Chen's words and still covered Liu Chun's mouth tightly to prevent her from spitting out the wild vegetables in her mouth.
Liu Chen could only look at Li Yunxing.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Liu Chun is just a little cook and has never offended the prince. If this matter spreads, will the prince not be afraid that people will say that you have insulted ordinary people?"
Li Yunxing snorted coldly, why had he ever cared about what the world thought?
"Liu Chen, I suspect that your southeastern army is not loyal to our Wu Dynasty at all."
Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, he couldn't say this nonsense.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood. I was indeed responsible for delaying the military aircraft before, but I also explained to you clearly that you were punished as you deserved. Now that the army is moving north, it is our southeastern army's allegiance to the Wu Dynasty. Why are you like this?
Slander us?"
Li Yunxing seemed to have heard a joke.
"In such a critical situation for the people of the Wu Dynasty, you, the cook, secretly poisoned me, preventing the army from breaking camp and heading north. With such vicious thoughts, you stopped me from teaching her a lesson. What are your intentions?"
Liu Chun was choked with tears. Hearing this, he shook his head hurriedly.
But she couldn't say anything, and because of her violent struggle, she swallowed two more weeds.
She felt itchy all over her body, and her stomach growled. It seemed like she was about to start vomiting and diarrhea like other soldiers.
But now, she is still under control and has no way to run to the latrine. She can only pray secretly in her heart, hoping that nothing will happen to her.
Liu Chen originally wanted to find Li Yunxing, but who would have expected that this big hat would be pulled off, and he immediately panicked.
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard about this before I came here. It was just a soldier who was careless for a moment. He wanted to use weeds to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't expect to pull out the poisonous weeds. What does it have to do with Liu Chun?"
Li Yunxing pointed at the iron pot, and then at Liu Chun's struggling appearance.
"After those soldiers drank this soup, they only suffered from slight vomiting and diarrhea. They looked serious on the surface, but they did not hurt their bodies. The cook should know that this soup is definitely not fatal, but she was struggling so hard at this time, as if
She was struggling to survive, which shows that she knew that although the soup was not fatal, the weeds in it would still be life-threatening if eaten."
When Liu Chun heard this, he was so surprised that he forgot to struggle for a moment. This prince was so smart that he could detect abnormalities from such trivial things.
If the Liu family goes against such smart people, there will be no place for them in the future!
Liu Chen's face froze, and he turned to glare at Liu Chun. When Liu Chun saw this, he slowly gave up his struggle.
However, she had eaten too many weeds and soon became short of breath. Li Yunxing immediately called the military doctor and came forward to diagnose and treat Liu Chun.
Sure enough, he was poisoned by eating too much weeds. After drinking the detoxifying decoction, Liu Chun's breath gradually calmed down.
Li Yunxing stepped forward and patted Liu Chen on the shoulder.
"This cook is from your Liu family, and this is also your southeastern army. I will not get involved in this matter, but I hope that the army can continue its journey in a quarter of an hour at most."
After saying that, he took Jin Xi away. Liu Chen did not expect that his carefully planned plan would be broken like this.
First, they delayed the army's journey, and then took the opportunity to poison Li Yunxing with poisonous weeds. In this way, even if Emperor Wu asked, it could be said that there were too many weeds in the countryside and they had not identified them clearly.
After all, the soldiers in their army were also poisoned, and they did not intentionally target Li Yunxing at all. Even if Emperor Wu wanted to pursue it, he would not be able to pursue it.
Who would have expected that before he could carry out the next step of his plan, Li Yunxing would have seen through this plan.
At this moment, after Liu Chun drank the detoxification potion, he woke up leisurely. When he looked up, he saw Liu Chen's face like a dark cloud, and he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground.
"General, have mercy on me. I didn't mean to show any flaws. I really didn't expect the prince to be so smart and to think of so many things."
The more she said this, the angrier Liu Chen became. The soldiers around him kicked her to the ground and swung their swords, killing the poor woman.
If the military doctor saw this, he would definitely wail continuously. If you had already decided to kill the cook, why would you drag him over to prepare the antidote for the cook?
You know, he is currently taking care of so many poisoned soldiers, and he is already exhausted.
"Send his head to the prince and tell him that I will supervise the army carefully in the future so that nothing like this will happen."
After the soldiers left, Liu Chen slapped the iron pot on the side with his palm, flipping the pot over and spilling all the soup on the ground.
