C427 Grand Duke Li Shen of Tao and Tang Dynasty
C427 Grand Duke Li Shen of Tao and Tang Dynasty
It was not the fragrance of the herbs outside, but the taste of the bitter medicine after torture.
The furnishings in the room were extremely simple: one bed and one old man.
Other than this, there was only a group of people wearing long white robes and masks around the bed. They took turns to inspect the old man's body.
Suddenly, Lee Shi felt like he came to a critical ward from his previous life.
"All of you can leave for now. Let's have a chat alone with Eleventh Brother."
The old man lying on the bed weakly raised his finger.
Thus, everyone in the room filed out, leaving Lee Shi and the old man alone in the room.
The old man's body was as thin as firewood, and his entire face had completely caved in. If one did not look carefully, one would think that he was a skeleton standing on the bed.
Only after looking at it several times did Lee Shi confirm that the one lying on the bed was the Grand Duke who had been reprimanding Tao Tang for dozens of years — Lee Shen!
He still remembered a few years ago, when Lee Shen derogated him from the South Sea Town. Although he was old, he had an old and strong appearance, and compared to his current miserable appearance, it was as different as heaven and earth!
Lee Shi originally thought that Lee Shen's illness was an act, but now it seems that it wasn't fake at all.
What kind of sickness did Lee Shen have to be tormented into this state?
Lee Shen coughed a few more times and opened his eyes with great difficulty.
His cloudy eyes focused several times before he could clearly see Lee Shi beside the bed.
"Sigh …" I didn't expect to see you again for the rest of my life.
You and your mother... "It really is so similar..."
Lee Shi remained silent. His feelings for Lee Shen were extremely complicated.
It was a complex emotion that he wanted to admit that the person in front of him was not his father, but could not refuse.
"Hehehe, you should have a lot of questions in your mind right now, right?
"It doesn't matter. Today, the oligarchs will explain everything to you clearly."
Lee Shen took a deep breath and his eyes lit up.
He didn't know if it was due to his perseverance, or if it was to be the last rays of light.
"The oligarch is not sick, but poisoned.
And the person who poisoned him was the unfilial son, Lee Yin! "
Lee Shen's first sentence made Lee Shi widen his eyes in shock.
"It's exactly because of this poison that unfilial son of mine is noticed by the oligarch."
Compared to him, his nine brothers were as kind as little white rabbits.
Ha ha, it is quite ironic to say that with his character, he is more suited to take over the position of being an Oligarch.
Since that was the case, so what if Tao Tang was entrusted to him because of the death of the oligarch?
This is what the oligarchs thought in the beginning, and what the oligarchs and officials have been doing all this time, which is to nurture him to become the next Grand Duke Of Taotang! "
Lee Shi felt a chill run down his spine, but also felt sad.
Lee Shen was a qualified Grand Duke, but not a qualified father!
For the sake of Tao and Jiang Shan, he was willing to be poisoned by his own son into such a miserable state!
In order to help his own son ascend to the throne, he no longer had any other sons in his eyes!
"The irony is that your sons are all dead now, leaving only … "Me."
Lee Shi sneered, "No matter how you scheme and plot, in the end, all you can do is hand Grand Duke over to me."
"No …" You have other choices than being alone. "
"Hmm?"
"There is an upper country to the west, and all the women in the imperial court are ladies. Why can't I, Tao Tang, do the same?"
Lee Shi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You want Yiyi to take over Grand Duke's position?!"
