A young and energetic noble stood up and asked sternly: "Marquis Lyman, why did you want to poison Earl Hogan?"

Earl Hogan was the benefactor of many nobles present, but now he was poisoned and killed.

His Majesty the King will definitely be furious because of this. It would be bad if he suddenly changes his mind and wants to punish the nobles who support the eldest prince.

"That's it! Why do you do this?" A group of nobles criticized Marquis Lehmann one after another.

Marquis Lehmann did not answer them, but said slowly: "It's almost time for you to have an attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, several elderly nobles felt unwell first, and then developed the same symptoms as Count Hogan, and finally fell to the ground and died in pain.

Middle-aged and young nobles also fell to the ground one after another.

The reason why Earl Hogan died of the poison so quickly was because Marquis Lyman gave him a very large dose of poison, while others received relatively less poison, so the onset of the poison was delayed.

For a moment, all the nobles present were in danger and panicked.

"You bastard! Give me the antidote!"

A panicked nobleman rushed over, trying to capture Marquis Leman and force him to hand over the antidote.

Seeing this, the knight next to Marquis Leman drew his sword decisively and stabbed the opponent directly in the chest with a long sword, killing him.

Glancing at the noble, Marquis Lehmann said calmly: "Don't be so anxious to die. Don't forget that my knights and soldiers are everywhere here. Moreover, not everyone's wine has been poisoned by me."

The young and energetic noble just now lay on the ground, raised his head and stared at Marquis Lehmann with a painful expression on his face, and asked difficult questions.

"Why are you……"

"No reason." Marquis Leman replied, "I just acted according to your Majesty's wishes. Your Majesty wants you to die. It's that simple."

"Can……"

No words could be spoken, and the young noble quickly rolled his eyes and died.

"But didn't Earl Hogan say that His Majesty has pardoned you?"

Marquis Leman said what he wanted to say on behalf of the young nobleman who had just died.

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha——"

"What a pity. I made up those lies about Count Hogan just now to deceive you. His Majesty hates rebellious people the most, so how can he pardon you?"

Hearing this, the nobles who were still struggling after being poisoned died with despair on their faces, and they did not close their eyes.

A rough estimate is that nearly half of the nobles present have died from the poison.

"Tsk tsk."

Seeing this scene, Marquis Lehmann couldn't help but shake his head and click his tongue. The poison His Majesty gave him was really powerful.

In just a short time, all the poisoned nobles died.

The remaining nobles who had not been poisoned all stayed in place and did not dare to act rashly.

Marquis Lehmann glanced at them and said calmly: "Those of you who were not poisoned were the ones who did not decide to support the eldest prince in the first place. You are barely neutral, so you can escape."

The remaining nobles looked at each other in confusion. It seemed that they were right not to get involved in the fight for the throne, otherwise they would end up like the dead people on the ground.

"Marquis Leman, are you the messenger for His Majesty?" Someone asked cautiously, taking courage.

"That's right."

"Then Earl Hogan..."

"He is just a chess piece of mine. You can throw it away after using it."

In fact, White only asked Marquis Lyman to kill all the nobles who supported the eldest prince, not including Earl Hogan.

It was Marquis Lehmann who felt that Count Hogan was in the way, so he made his own decisions and got rid of him by the way.

As long as he can frighten the group of neutral nobles, I believe that His Majesty will not blame him, Marquis Lehmann thought with confidence.

At the right moment, an old nobleman stood up and said, "I am willing to serve your Majesty. Can you please let me leave here?"

"Me too."

"And I."

A group of nobles scrambled to show their loyalty and wanted to leave this unfortunate place where so many people died.

"Don't be anxious."

Marquis Lyman raised his hand, suppressed the voices of the nobles, and then took out a crystal clear gray magic stone.

"This is the Voice Stone. Your Majesty has something to say to you personally."

Next, he drove the magic power into the magic stone to activate it.

The magic stone gave off a faint silver light, and White's voice came from inside.

"Presumably all the people who supported the eldest prince are dead, and the rest are probably neutral people. It is the luckiest thing in your life that you did not participate in the war that Brother Wang and I started over the throne. Of course, I don't like it either.

You guys who are wise and protective."

"For this reason, I have specially prepared for you a magical poison that can identify loyalty. Each of you must receive one from Marquis Lehmann and say 'Always be loyal to me' before taking it. If you are truly loyal,

That’s okay. If it’s fake, you’ll be poisoned and die immediately, and you’ll also feel betrayal in the future.”

"Remember, you have no other choice."

The subsequent sound disappeared, and the magic stone in Marquis Leman's hand also turned into a pinch of dust. This feeling is still a disposable item.

"Do you understand everything?"

Marquis Lehmann wiped the dust off his hands and took out a transparent glass bottle containing red pills.

"Didn't you just say that you want to be loyal to His Majesty? Now is the time to prove yourself. Please line up and come to collect it."

Under the supervision of the knight, the group of nobles lined up in front of Marquis Leman, and the bodies that were in the way were moved to other places.

The first was an old nobleman with a long beard. Marquis Leman took out a red pill and put it into his hand.

"Don't lie, I have so many pairs of eyes staring at you."

Marquis Lehmann motioned to the four knights beside him. They held long swords and stared at the nobles who got the pills.

Once suspicious behavior is discovered, action will be taken without mercy.

"I see."

The old nobleman complied with the request and said, "I will always be loyal to Your Majesty." He put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

Then, nothing happened.

In response, Marquis Lehmann smiled and said: "Very good, your loyalty to His Majesty is true."

"Then can I go?" the old noble asked.

"Not yet. I can't let you go until everyone has taken the red pill. Next one."

In this case, the old noble could only honestly step aside.

When the nobles behind him saw that he was safe and sound, they immediately felt relieved.

The next few people had no problems until the eighth noble took the pill and suddenly scratched his neck uncomfortably. His face turned blue and purple and he was speechless. He fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. After a while, he died.
