I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 184 He Was Really Poisoned by Pei Qian!

184 He Was Really Poisoned by Pei Qian!
“Don’t worry. When I give it to General Gao, it definitely won’t be so powerful.”
Lin Suisui nodded and explained to Pei Qian very calmly, “Today, we used Zhu Qing to let General Gao see what will happen if there’s no antidote.”
As soon as Lin Suisui finished speaking, a strong fishy stench filled the tent.
Lin Suisui frowned and took two steps back. Lu Ze raised his hand and used his sleeve to block the unpleasant smell for her.
“Tsk, Uncle, you’re really too careless!”
Pei Qian raised his hand in disdain and splashed the half cup of tea in his hand. Then, he looked up at Gao Xuwei. “What a waste of my tea!”
“Uncle, don’t worry. After all, I’ve called you Uncle for so many years. I won’t really harm you! Besides, my aunt is deeply in love with you. Even though you’re already obese, she’s still infatuated with you. It’s as if she’s been possessed. I don’t know what went wrong, but she’s been blind for most of her life!
As long as you’re obedient, Madam Liu will send you the antidote every ten days!
“But if you don’t take your life seriously, I have no choice but to make her a widow again!”
Pei Qian’s threat and the previous scene of Zhu Qing’s death made Gao Xuwei faint.
When Gao Xuwei woke up again, he had already returned to his tent and was lying on the low couch he always lay on. Everything was the same as usual, as if what he had seen when he was called to Pei Qian’s tent was just a nightmare!
Now that he had woken up from his dream, he was probably safe!
He heaved a sigh of relief and turned around, meeting Pei Qian’s mirthful gaze.
“Ah!”
When he saw Pei Qian again, Gao Xuwei couldn’t help but think of everything that had happened in his dream just now. He screamed in fear and sat up to hide from Pei Qian. He wished he could disappear from the spot.
“Why are you here?! Don’t come over. I’m warning you, get out! Otherwise, I’ll call for help!”
Gao Xuwei, who had recovered, immediately chased Pei Qian out. He only had one thing on his mind, which was to chase his nephew out first!
“Why are you so afraid?! I personally escorted you back when you fainted in my tent just now. Now that you’re awake, you’re acting so ungrateful!
“But it doesn’t matter. The medicine is ready. For the sake of your health, Uncle, drink the medicine first!”
Pei Qian looked at Gao Xuwei with a smile, but that smile made Gao Xuwei even more afraid!
“Get lost! Get lost now!” He grabbed a pillow at the side and threw it at Pei Qian. “Who wants your fake kindness? Get lost! Get lost now!”
“Uncle, think about it carefully. You saw what happened to Zhu Qing just now if you don’t drink this antidote! You’re not thinking of accompanying her, are you?!” Pei Qian turned his body slightly to avoid the pillow that was thrown at him. The smile on his face didn’t fade at all. He looked at Gao Xuwei as if he was looking at an elder who was getting more and more insensible. “Although good medicine cures sickness, it is often unpalatable. Uncle, it’s best if you don’t avoid treatment!
This medicine has to be taken regularly. Otherwise…”
Before Pei Qian could finish speaking, Gao Xuwei, who had been so frightened that he couldn’t even speak properly, pounced over like a nimble rabbit and snatched the medicine that Pei Qian had placed on the short table at the side. He swallowed the bitter medicine in the bowl in a few gulps.
It was also because he swallowed this medicine that the burning pain in his internal organs instantly dissipated.
It was because of this change that he was really sure that what had happened in Pei Qian’s tent wasn’t a dream, but reality!
He had really been poisoned by Pei Qian!
“Uncle, remember that you have to drink this medicine once every ten days. I’ll repeat the same thing. If you listen to my instructions and don’t cause trouble, the Pei family will share the glory with the Gao family. How about that?!”
When Pei Qian saw Gao Xuwei drink the medicine, the smile on his face subconsciously became more sincere. Seeing that Gao Xuwei didn’t answer, he sighed softly and continued, “Uncle, I had no choice!
You’ve been in the north for so many years. Look at what a mess the northern region is in!
If I hadn’t come over this time, the matter of King Gu Han entering the country would have been reported to the Imperial Court!
If it were in the past, with the marquis’ status in the Imperial Court, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to hide this matter for you! But now, the situation in the Imperial Court has changed drastically. If you still act as recklessly as before and don’t handle the matters in the northern region properly, not to mention the Gao family, even the Pei family will die!
However, if that’s all, what if it affects the Fourth Prince’s career? Do you think the Fourth Prince will let any of your family members off?!
Previously, the Marquis and I had reminded you more than once to be careful with your words and actions! But Uncle, you’ve always been stubborn. Now, I have no choice!
I can only force you to behave for the time being!
“Uncle, don’t worry. When the Fourth Prince succeeds the throne, your family will definitely be conferred the title of marquis!”
Pei Qian was taking the carrot-and-stick approach. Gao Xuwei was no longer a three or four-year-old child, so he didn’t fall for Pei Qian’s words. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He glared at Pei Qian as he scolded angrily, “Pei Qian, don’t think I don’t know what you want to do!
You’re just trying to snatch the Northern Battlefront Army from me!
Now, you’ve taken away my authority, yet you’re still saying that it’s for my own good! I’m no different from a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. I’m more powerless than a sick cat!
When had the Pei family ever taken me seriously?!
Back then, when I discussed marriage with your aunt, your father wished he could chop me up with a knife! If I hadn’t been vigilant and avoided his capture, I might already be lying in a coffin!
“You don’t have to coax me with these words. If you have the ability, kill me now. Otherwise, when I return to the north, I’ll find someone to detoxify me!”
