Chapter 441: Poisoning
The cool breeze is blowing, with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers sweeping the green courtyard, at night, Prince Gong's Mansion is brightly lit, lively and noisy, and the bright glazed palace lamps illuminate half of the night sky, so that the stars are ashamed to show up.
The men's seat is still pushing the cup and changing the lamp, which is very lively, but there are not many people at the women's table who move chopsticks, and many ladies and ladies get together in twos and threes and talk.
Duchess Wei Guo was also chatting with several military generals and wives next to her, An Ruolan and Wei Shao sat quietly beside her, and only answered a few words when asked.
There are not many people who bring their ladies to attend the birthday banquet, and there are only ones like the Weiguo Mansion attended by the hostess's representatives, as the servant who sent the post said, Prince Gong's Mansion entertained the three very thoughtfully, and deliberately arranged their positions behind the emperor's relatives, which were higher than the seats of other female dependents, and the seat was the most reflective of status.
In the women's banquet, there is a particularly conspicuous position, where there are more than a dozen beautiful women, all of them are wearing white dresses, dressed beautifully, look carefully and find that the appearance of these women is somewhat similar, and the temperament is indifferent, at a glance, it looks like a group of sisters.
These women are all concubines in King Gong's backyard, and because of the wine in the house, they were allowed to come out to join in the fun.
Princess Gong died at an early age, and King Gong never remarried, not because of King Gong's affection, he just couldn't find a satisfactory candidate for the new princess. Although there is no hostess in Prince Gong's Mansion, there are many concubines, and there are even more than a dozen prostitutes. There are many concubines, and the open and secret battles in the backyard of Prince Gong's mansion, and the conspiracy and calculation are more intense than the backyard of ordinary nobles.
The position of King Gong's wife is a huge temptation for many people. Not to mention the intrigue of people in the palace, there are also many people outside the palace. It's just that no matter how the concubines in the palace competed for favor, and how the women outside the palace explicitly hinted, King Gong never showed that he wanted to continue the strings.
As early as when he saw King Gong's attitude towards Shao Wuchang, An Ruolan had a conjecture in his heart. I came to the banquet today, heard rumors about the pets in the backyard of Prince Gong's mansion, and saw the concubine with a dusty temperament. She confirmed her suspicions, but at the same time she was a little worried.
If King Gong really has that kind of affection for Shi Shuzu, I am afraid that Meng Guofu, who has a relationship with Shi Shuzu, will fall into a very dangerous situation.
At this time, her terrifying premonition came again. She felt uneasy. I always feel that something bad is going to happen.
And this premonition became even stronger after seeing An Ruoxian.
Different from King Gong's concubine, An Ruoxian is dressed gracefully and luxuriously, if you don't know, you still think that she is the mistress of this mansion, but thanks to the blessing of Princess Qinshu's flower viewing party before, Shengjing's lady and miss all know that Miss An Shi is such a person, and they also know that she was accepted by Zhao Qing into Prince Gong's mansion as a concubine. So no matter what she dresses up, everyone knows exactly what she is.
Because he sat behind King Gong's large group of concubines. An Ruolan didn't notice her at first, if she hadn't come out of her position and talked to people in front, An Ruolan might not have found her.
An Ruoxian also saw An Ruolan, she showed a proud smile to An Ruolan through the crowd, and then continued to talk to King Gong's concubines. She's taking the opportunity to make connections.
An Ruolan couldn't help but laugh angrily, she really didn't understand what An Ruoxian had to be proud of.
Because of the sudden ominous premonition, An Ruolan paid a little more attention to An Ruoxian, and was hesitating whether to go over to say a few words, when there was a sudden scream from the men's seat, and then the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground and breaking.
In the blink of an eye, the men's seats became chaotic and noisy.
An Ruolan's heart beat violently, and her premonition came true.
The chaos of the men's seat soon spread to the women's seat, and the ladies and ladies all screamed and hid aside, and in the chaos, someone on the men's seat shouted: "Oh no, someone is poisoned, call the doctor!" ”
An Ruolan's heart jumped again, and she didn't want to rush through the screen separating the men's and women's seats to the men's seats. Seeing this, Duchess Wei Guo and Wei Shao also followed.
Mrs. An raised her head and looked at the men's seat for a while, and she was also a little worried about her own masters, so she said to the Murong family: "Let's go over and take a look." ”
There are one and two, and many ladies and ladies have the courage to run to the men's seats.
The men's seats were in a mess, a large group of people were noisy and shouting, An Ruolan shouted for a hand, and then squeezed into the center of the crowd with the advantage of her size, and when she saw the people who were surrounded and lying on the ground and kept vomiting blood, her pupils contracted violently, and she shouted in horror: "Third Brother Meng!" ”
Busy is three steps and two steps ran forward, helped Meng Sanshao up, and asked anxiously: "Third brother!" Third brother, what's wrong with you?! How so, what's going on?! ”
She was so anxious that she began to cry, brushed the blood from his face with her hand, and shouted in panic: "Call the doctor, call the doctor!" At this moment, she hated her premonition.
Seeing her tears, Meng Sanshao wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and he couldn't even speak.
The dark red blood stung An Ruolan's eyes, and she sobbed helplessly.
A group of ladies and ladies who followed An Ruolan also squeezed in, and they were so frightened that they screamed when they saw the bloody scene in front of them.
Meng Sanshao's own mother, Qiao, was even more frightened.
Old Madam An hurriedly asked Murong to help Qiao's side to rest, secretly glad that no one else except Qiao's Meng Guofu came, especially Old Madam Meng.
The doctor soon arrived, and with him a large group of guards.
Blue-gray suits, guards with broadswords surrounded the banquet hall.
The doctor put down the medicine box, grabbed Meng Sanshao's hand and began to check the pulse, but after waiting for a long time, he only frowned and did not speak, looking puzzled.
In a panic, An Ruolan couldn't care about any image or image, and anxiously urged the doctor: "What's wrong with Third Brother Meng, you are talking!" She raised her hand to cover Meng Sanshao's mouth that kept vomiting blood, trying to plug the blood that vomited out, but in vain.
Zhao Qing stood aside with cold eyes, grabbed her arm when he heard the words, and said, "This is not the place where you should come, go back to the women's banquet." ”
Morning Frost was the only one who made him want to recognize him as his sister, and he didn't want to hear the man she call his brother.
An Ruolan shook off his hand, raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were frozen, and said, "May I ask the prince of the world, what happened just now, why was Third Brother Meng poisoned?" ”
Zhao Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes seemed to be sure that this matter had something to do with him.
After pondering for a while, the doctor finally spoke, puzzled: "It's really strange, Master Meng is only a chronic poison, and the poisoning time is extremely short, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this." ”
Chronic poison, strange-
Catching these two words, An Ruolan's mind flashed, and just as she was shaking her hands and trying to take out the lotus paste she was carrying from her sleeves, a strong wind suddenly blew in the banquet hall, blowing everyone to the ground, and they all looked for a place to shelter from the wind.
In the strong wind, An Ruolan couldn't open his eyes, so he could only hug Meng Sanshao desperately and block part of the wind for him.
"What's going on?!" In the screams of the ladies and dependents, King Gong shouted loudly, and as his screams fell, the wind also stopped, and the people who had been gathered together were scattered all over the banquet.
Without waiting for the ladies to straighten out their wind-blown dresses, and before the guests hiding under the table could climb out, a white figure rode the wind and slowly landed in the middle of the banquet hall, and the eyes under the pure white mask were terrifyingly cold.
