Chapter 219: Once Assassination
"What's the matter?" Zhang Zong asked alertly when he heard Helan Minzhi want to call Li Hong in.
"Hehe, do you remember that Li Hong was seriously ill two years ago, but Wu Mei insisted on taking him to Luoyang?" Helan Minzhi smiled proudly again.
"Of course I remember, do you know any inside information?" Zhang Zong asked anxiously after hearing this.
At that time, he had just handed nitroglycerin to Li Hong, which improved Li Hong's condition, but Wu Meiniang, who was unaware of it, insisted on taking Li Hong, who was "seriously ill" to Luoyang. With Li Hong's previous situation, he might die on the road, which also made Li Hong extremely angry. It was also from then on that time that he completely gave up his fantasy of Wu Meiniang.
"Hehe, of course I know the inside story, and I can also tell you that Li Hong is quite lucky to have escaped that disaster!" Helan Minzhi smiled with a lipsless mouth, his eyes full of excitement.
"What does it mean? The prince's physical condition had improved at that time. Even if he was tired, it would not affect his health. And didn't he come back safely later?" Zhang Zong asked again after hearing this.
"Hahahahaha~, you are too naive. With Wu Mei's character, how could she put all her hopes on Li Hong's illness?" Helan Minzhi laughed arrogantly when he heard Zhang Zong's words.
"What do you mean is that the queen still had a backup plan at that time?" Zhang Zong asked with a deep face when he heard this.
"Not bad, and this is the one I left to do, but unfortunately it didn't work. But I think Li Hong will definitely be very interested!" When Helan Minzhi said the last, his eyes were slightly red from excitement.
After hearing this, Zhang Zong was silent for a moment, and finally decided to call Li Hong in. After all, he should have known about this matter.
Li Hong was sulking in the back hall at this time. When he saw Zhang Zong coming in, he immediately asked, "How is it, what did he say?"
"This..." Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment, then said, "He wants to explain something, which is some inside story when the queen insisted on taking her Highness to Luoyang last time."
When Li Hong heard this, he stood up and then took big strides to the hall. When Helan Minzhi saw him, he opened his mouth and laughed: "Looking at how anxious you look, do you really want to know how cruel your mother was to you?"
"Tell me, what are her plans at that time?" Li Hong asked calmly at this time. Although he had given up on Wu Meiniang, this woman who was determined to kill him was his mother after all. He wanted to know now. Does this woman really care about the mother-son relationship?
"It's okay to tell you, so you won't die in the future. When you arrive in the underworld, you may not even be able to tell who you die in!" Helan Minzhi laughed again, and then he told a shocking secret.
It turned out that although Li Hong was seriously ill, he still worked hard to handle some government affairs and control part of the power so as not to fall into the hands of Wu Meiniang. This made Wu Meiniang very angry, and at the same time, his patience was also slain. Finally, he made an amazing decision, which was to kill Li Hong. As long as Li Hong died, both Li Xian and Li Xian would be much more controllable than Li Hong, who had a deep foundation.
In this case, after many considerations, Wu Meiniang decided to force Li Hong to Luoyang in the name of avoiding the summer heat and praying for blessings. If it were not for Zhang Zong, Li Hong's physical condition at that time would have been exhausted during the heat, and he might have died on the road.
However, Wu Meiniang was still worried, so she instructed Helan Minzhi to ask him to send someone to assassinate Li Hong, and she provided the necessary convenience for assassination. For example, Helan Minzhi's people could smoothly sneak into the team in Luoyang, so that Li Hong could be closer.
According to Helan Minzhi's plan, they planned to take action on the way to Luoyang, because the road was chaotic and it was more convenient for his people to start. Moreover, the weather was hot and the road was hard, and it was reasonable that Li Hong, who was "seriously ill", died on the road, and most people would not doubt it.
However, Helan Minzhi's plan still happened. The people he sent prepared the poison and successfully sneaked into the Luoyang team. However, when the food he was going to poison Li Hong, he was knocked out. Fortunately, this guy was a dead soldier. He took the poison directly and surrendered. He did not say a word, and soon died of poisoning. The person who was conveniently interrogated did not get any clues.
"I remembered it!" Li Hong suddenly slapped his hands in shock when he heard this, "When I was about to arrive in Luoyang, an unknown person suddenly died in the camp. I remember that my father sent someone to search everywhere, but he did not find any clues. The father was also very angry because of this, but the dead man seemed to come out of thin air and there was nothing to prove his identity."
"That's natural. When my people were sent out, there would definitely be no clues on them. Unfortunately, he failed at that time, otherwise you would have become a bone!" Helan Minzhi said with some regret at this time. If Li Hong could be poisoned to death, it would definitely make Li Zhi feel very distressed, and he could also feel the pleasure of revenge.
"Sorry, I'm disappointed you!" Li Hong gritted his teeth and said hatefully. He did not hate Helan Minzhi, but hated Wu Meiniang. Although the two had long lost their mother-son relationship, when they learned that the other party wanted to kill him, Li Hong still felt a deep pain.
"You're welcome. Actually, I planned it at that time. After killing you, I'll tell your father the truth, and then I can quietly appreciate his expression when he lost his beloved son!" Helan Minzhi smiled and said, Li Zhi had ruined his family, and he would not miss any chance to retaliate against Li Zhi.
"You are such a devil!" Li Hong snorted coldly when he heard this. The son did not mention his father's past. No matter what Li Zhi did, he was still his father. He had no choice, just as he could not choose Wu Meiniang as his mother.
"You are right. I just want to be a devil targeting your Li family. Unfortunately, I was still careless. I didn't expect you to find me so quickly. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to see that beast Li Zhi get the retribution he deserves!" When Helan Minzhi said the last time, his face showed a regretful expression again.
"Hmph!" Li Hong couldn't help but snort when he heard Helan Minzhi speak rudely to his father again, but he wanted to dig out more secrets from Helan Minzhi's mouth, so he could only say patiently, "Apart from this matter, do you have nothing else to tell me?"
