The Last Queen of Peacelava
CHAPTER 47
King Arlo was sitting on a chair in his room, then a Dayang came while carrying a glass of ginger milk.
"Your Majesty, this is warm ginger milk for your majesty" said one Dayang.
"But I didn't ask to make ginger milk."
"Your Majesty, it was actually Master Zhang Pei who asked me to make this warm ginger milk."
"Put the milk on the table. I'll drink it later."
"All right, Your Majesty. But Your Majesty should drink it immediately, because ginger milk will be fresher if drunk while still warm."
"All right."
"Please excuse me, Your Majesty."
"Wait a minute, Dayang. I didn't see my daughter Xin Qian and also chief Ji Nian, where did they go?"
"Hamba also has no idea where Her Majesty the Queen and chief Ji Nian are, Your Majesty. Please excuse me."
"All right."
After the Dayang came out of the Arlo king's room, Lui Wei appeared and looked at the Arlo king from outside.
"Drink that ginger milk, for it is the last drink you will drink, Your Majesty the King." Lui Wei smiled cunningly.
The King drank the ginger milk, then not long after his throat felt very painful like strangled by someone. Then the king dropped the glass until it broke.
Lui Wei who saw that instantly widened her eyes and smiled happily.
"Finally the old man drank the ginger milk that I had mixed with poison" he murmured.
"Zhang Pei, you really helped me with my plan" he said.
When she heard the sound of someone running towards her, Lui Wei went back into hiding.
Zhang Pei and some of the Masters came to the King's room, but when they got there they saw an unpleasant sight. The King's mouth spit out foam and his body convulsed.
"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Zhang Pei held the King's arm.
"Your Majesty, be aware!" exciting master Pin.
"Zhang Pei, help me to lay His Majesty's body on the bed" said master Feng.
Zhang Pei nodded.
Suddenly Shishi also came to the room in a hurry.
"Master Pin, what has happened to His Majesty the King?"
"I don't know, Shishi."
"Shishi, quickly summon the Physician to treat His Majesty the King!"
"Good, Master."
Shishi went out to call the court physician, but had not yet passed the door of the king's room, Shishi saw Lui Wei in hiding.
Shishi was still standing in the middle of the door and made Zhang Pei who saw him feel furious.
"Shii! Why are you just standing there? Quickly call the healer!" zhang Pei.
"B-well, I'll call the Physician right away," Shishi replied in slight surprise.
"I was like seeing Lui Wei there, but why is it not there now? Is it possible I just mislooked?" inner Shishi.
"Shii! What the hell are you doing, anyway? His Majesty the King needs a Physician, quickly go call the Physician!" exclaimed master Feng furiously.
"Okay, Master," Shishi replied.
Shishi then ran and looked for the whereabouts of the palace Physician, but he instead met with Jiang Li.
"His Majesty the King!" Shishi saluted.
"What's up, Shishi? Why do you look so rushed?"
"His Majesty the King, the king of Arlo fell unconscious in the room and his mouth spewed out foam. I can't linger here, I have to call the Physician immediately."
"Well, you quickly call the Physician."
"What's really going on? I have to see it," muttered Jiang Li.
After a long time of searching, Shishi finally met the court physician. The physician was talking with master Lin.
"Master Lin!" Shishi bowed his body.
"Shishi, why do you look so anxious?"
"Master, I'm looking for a healer."
"What the hell is going on? Why are you looking for me, Shishi?"
"His Majesty the King fell unconscious and his mouth spit out foam. Beside His Majesty the King was also a shard of glass, it seemed like His Majesty the King fainted after drinking a drink in that glass."
"Master Lin, we should go to His Majesty's room now."
"Yes, Physician. Come!"

Master Chen tried to contain the poison from spreading into other parts of the Arlo king's body.
"How, Master? Has the poison escaped the body of His Majesty the King?" ask Zhang Pei.
"Zhang Pei, I can only resist this poison from spreading for a while. And to remove the poison is not my forte, so it is better that we wait for the palace Physician to do so" replied master Chen.
Shishi, master Lin and also the Physician came and saw the state of the King.
"Tabib, thank goodness the physician came. Please treat His Majesty the King immediately, as this poison will react again and spread throughout the King's body very quickly. I can only hold it for a few moments," master Chen told the Physician.
The physician treated the King with all his abilities. But it was very difficult for him to remove the extremely deadly poison and it had already spread almost throughout the body. The King's face then turned black slowly.
"This is no ordinary poison, this is a very deadly poison."
"Leadly poison?"
"Yes, Master."
"Who has given the drink to His Majesty the King?"
"Tabib, actually I asked Dayang to bring warm ginger milk for His Majesty the King. But I could have sworn I didn't mix poison into that drink."
"Calm down, Zhang Pei! We're pretty sure you didn't."
"Yes, Zhang Pei. There must have been someone else who had mixed the poison into the drink of His Majesty the King."
Not long after, Jiang Li came and was very surprised to see the Arlo king's face turning black.
"What's really going on?"
"His Majesty the King!"
"Why could the king of Arlo be like this?"
"King Arlo has drunk a drink in which he is deliberately mixed with poison, Your Majesty."
"Poisons? Who would have dared to mix poison into his drink?"
Everyone stared at Jiang Li with an accusatory look, as if it was Jiang Li who was the mastermind behind all this.
"We don't know, Your Majesty. But we will ask this to Dayang who has delivered drinks to the King."
"Then where is Xin Qian? Why isn't he here?"
"We don't know where Her Majesty the Queen is, Your Majesty."
A Dayang came and saluted everyone.
"Darling, did you see that someone had mixed poison into the King's Royal Highness' drink?"
"Please, Master. But I do not see anyone mixing poison into the King's drink."
"Master Zhang Pei just asked me to make some warm ginger milk for the King, then I made it. And after that I didn't see anyone see me."
"It's very strange. I'm sure someone must have slipped and put the poison in the King's drink without anyone else's knowledge."
"I agree with you, Master."
