Li Xiaoran suddenly said, “Why? General Fei, are you so angry that I hit the nail on the head that you want to kill me? Are you worried that I’ll ruin King Fu’s plan?! It’s fine if you submitted to King Fu, but why did you betray the other generals? You really can’t judge a book by its cover! From your burly appearance, I thought you were a rash and simple-minded man, but you’re actually a scheming person!”

As soon as he said this, the other generals looked at General Fei.

“Fei Yuan, is what she said true?” The eldest, General Guo De, looked at General Fei and questioned him coldly, “I was wondering why you insisted on dragging us to this thatched hut to talk. So you had such intentions!”

Wanting to ask what was going on, the others also glared at Fei Yuan.

Fei Yuan suppressed the panic in his heart and quickly explained, “Brothers, do you only believe in a random woman instead of me? Don’t you guys know what kind of person I am?”

Li Xiaoran suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, “They treat you as a buddy and trust you too much, so they neglected many problems! General Fei, if you really don’t have ill intentions, what’s with the drug in this tea? If you guys don’t believe me, why don’t you guys circulate your internal energy?!” Before anyone could do anything, Li Xiaoran laughed again.

“Oh, it seems that this drug is only the first part of the plan. There’s still a backup plan! There are a.s.sa.s.sins lying in ambush ten miles away, wanting to capture all these people! As long as the other generals are dead, you can push the blame to the Eldest Princess. Then, you can take the opportunity to gather the Eldest Princess’ military power and troops in the name of taking revenge for the generals. Then, you can defect to King Fu.”

As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, Fei Yuan couldn’t hold it in anymore and looked at Li Xiaoran in shock.

“How do you know all this? You’re not human. What are you?”

Li Xiaoran scolded in a cold voice, “You’re such a good-for-nothing! For the sake of wealth and glory, you even betrayed your buddies whom you’ve worked with for many years!”

The other generals tried to circulate their internal energy. As expected, they couldn’t mobilize their internal energy.

“Fei Yuan, you’re indeed traitorous. You actually schemed against us!” General Guo roared in disbelief.

The others also reacted at this moment and looked at Fei Yuan in dismay.

“Hahahahaha, so what if I schemed against you guys? All these years, we risked our lives together, but what happened in the end? All of you have higher official positions than me and have more money than me. Why? Even the Eldest Princess looks down on me and treats you guys nicely, but she doesn’t treat me well at all! Now that I’ve finally found an emperor who trusts me, why can’t I take this opportunity to climb the social ladder?” Fei Yuan saw that he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he stopped pretending.

When the others heard Fei Yuan’s words, their gazes became complicated.

“So that’s what you’ve always thought!” General Guo sighed when he heard Fei Yuan’s words.

“Shouldn’t I think so? You guys say that you treat me as a buddy, but you’ve never treated me as a buddy! Otherwise, why didn’t you guys give me more when you split the money?” Fei Yuan scolded self-righteously.

Wu Ke stood up and scolded, “Fei Yuan, do you have a conscience?! Do you know how much money we’ve spent on cleaning up your mess all these years?

You only see that we gave you less money, but that money was saved up for you to get a wife. You’re impulsive and reckless. You spend money extravagantly and are easily cheated of money by women! The few of us discussed it. In order for you to live a good life in your later years, we gave you less money and

secretly helped you save it!”

“Hmph, you guys make yourselves sound so high-minded. I don’t believe what you’re saying!” Fei Yuan snorted.

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the small house Brother Guo bought for you back then! There’s a secret room in the small house. All the money we’ve saved for you over the years is in the secret room!” Wu Ke replied angrily.

Li Xiaoran sneered and said, “He’s telling the truth! The expression on his face tells me that what they said is the truth! Only you can’t even tell who treats you well!”

“Not only that, but this person called Fei Yuan has actually been poisoned! This poison is very hidden. The person who is poisoned usually doesn’t have any symptoms, but the whites of his eyes become a little yellow. After being poisoned, it only takes 24 hours for the poison to take effect. From the yellow in the whites of his eyes, it can be deduced that he was poisoned four hours ago!” Zi Cheng suddenly said.

When Fei Yuan heard Zi Cheng’s words, he was stunned.

“That’s impossible. You must be lying to me!”

“Why would I lie to you? Let me ask you, have you been holding in your pee for the past four hours? Little do you know that this is a sign of poisoning! In the future, you won’t be able to hold it in at all. Even if you keep drinking water, you won’t be able to catch up to the speed of urinating. At that time, you’ll become a dried corpse!” Zi Cheng said, “You can choose not to believe me, but you’ll know in a few hours!”

Wu Ke thought of something and said, “I did see Fei Yuan drinking water previously and he went to pee several times! Do you remember that I said that

Fei Yuan’s urine smelled like blood?!”

This time, everyone looked at Fei Yuan.

They hadn’t noticed it previously, but now that they took a closer look, they realized that the whites of Fei Yuan’s eyes were really yellow!

“Let me guess. Who drugged you four hours ago? King Fu? Or is it the current crown prince?” As Li Xiaoran stared at Fei Yuan, she quickly guessed the truth.

“No, that’s impossible! You’re all lying to me! The crown prince won’t attack me. The crown prince still has to rely on me to obtain military power! All of you have ill intentions!” With that, Fei Yuan raised his knife and stabbed at Li Xiaoran.

Zi Cheng had been paying attention to Fei Yuan. Seeing that he had attacked again, he kicked Fei Yuan far away.

Zi Cheng glanced at Fei Yuan and said, “I forgot to tell you. Once your body starts to become dehydrated, you won’t have any strength left in your body.. You can’t even hold the sword steadily now, right?!”
