Chapter 541: The banquet is poisonous
Lingzhi's heart was pounding, and for a moment, she really wanted to leave, but she and Wang Fengol had only been together for a few days, and she didn't dare to entrust her life to someone who didn't know much about her.
But I don't know why, since I met him, her feelings for Ji Qingran have changed, compared to Wang Fengol, he is too indifferent, if I didn't take the initiative to confess at that time, would he confess? If he doesn't love me, why would he agree to marry me?
Lingzhi has never heard anything from Ji Qingran's mouth, about the word love, he doesn't even like it, he is always extremely calm, whether it is deciding to marry her, or preparing for a wedding, he will not touch her, he will not say love words, he will not take the initiative to care, she can't understand him.
The note in her hand was gradually crumpled into a ball by her, and then put it on the red candle and burned it to ashes, and she finally didn't dare to take this step.
Finally finished entertaining everything, Ji Qingran returned to the new house with a drunken body, helped her pick up the red hijab, there was no affectionate look, and there was no ambiguity, still like looking at an ordinary friend, "Hungry, right? Come and eat something." ”
He pulled her to sit down at the table and put the food in front of her, Lingzhi was indeed hungry, but he had too many things to eat, "Don't be hungry, have you drunk a lot of wine? ”
"Well, it seems that yes, on this kind of day, you naturally have to drink, if you don't like it, I'll go wash it. ”
So saying, he went out.
Lingzhi waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for him to come back, so he called the maid to ask, but the maidservant replied, "The prince may have drunk too much, and he fell asleep on his side after washing." ”
Lingzhi was speechless, but inexplicably, she breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay not to come, so as not to be embarrassed, she was still worried that if he was not a virgin and was discovered by him, he would be furious.
But this matter will have to be faced sooner or later.
After eating something, Lingzhi removed his makeup and went to sleep.
Following.
Ji Wangfu received news early in the morning, saying that the people who came to the banquet yesterday had diarrhea when they went back.
When Ji Weiting heard this, he gathered Ji Beihan and the whole house early in the morning and asked what the reason was, and as a result, it was the same banquet, but no one in the Ji family had an accident.
"Is there a mistake? Who said that there is a problem with our banquet?" Chu Ge was very angry, this banquet is the best chef in Kyoto City, and the washing of vegetables is used by the family slaves, because his own family also has to eat, so he is very careful, and it is impossible to be unclean.
Ji Weiting said, "In the morning, the city of Kyoto has been spread, the people who came to the banquet yesterday, all vomited and diarrhea, I also went to a few friends' houses to see, it is indeed very strong, several people are strong soldiers, even stand unsteadily, they are friends with me, they will not lie, they said, it is true that they started to pull when they came back from drinking, and there are leftovers from yesterday's banquet, right? Take it out and check it!"
"Yes. Chu Ge explained to Yun Qiao, "You go to the kitchen to get it, there should be quite a few." ”
Yun Qiao was quick with her hands and feet, and after a while, she brought two plates of leftovers, and Ji Weiting asked the doctor to come over to check it, but as a result, there were no ingredients in the dishes that would cause people to vomit and poison.
"It's strange, it's obviously no problem, why did this happen?" Ji Weiting was puzzled, "Could it be the problem with the tea?"
"It's even more impossible, tea is drunk by everyone, there are so many people in the house, and no one has been poisoned, how can it be a tea problem. Ji Beihan directly denied it, he himself couldn't figure out which link went wrong, and besides, they obviously ate and drank like the guests, and the people in the house were fine.
"That's strange, it's not that there is a problem with the tea and food in the mansion, why is there a problem with all the people who have eaten the banquet in the mansion? Could it be that there is a problem with the banquet in the palace?" Chu Ge guessed.
Ji Beihan still shook his head, "It's unlikely, the dishes are done together, they are all the same thing, and we also ate there yesterday." ”
The family couldn't figure it out even if they wanted to break their heads, and the housekeeper suddenly rushed in to report, "Master, it's not good, Lord Taifu vomited and leaked last night, after eating the banquet, and his old body couldn't stand the toss, and he passed away this morning." ”
Ji Weiting's feet were weak, he sat down in the mahogany chair, the housekeeper cried and mourned, and continued, "The Taifu family was so grief-stricken that they wrote a blood letter and sent it to the palace, saying that our Ji Wangfu was careless about people's lives, had the intention of rebellion, and deliberately slaughtered the ......court officials."
"Bastard, can you talk nonsense like this?" Chu Ge was so angry that he was not calm, and the housekeeper replied with a da, "Niangniang, if something like this happens to one person, we can still argue, but now, the whole court, even the emperor and concubine can't get out of bed, we say that no one believes it." ”
"Damn, what's going on?" Ji Weiting held his forehead, he was already about to collapse, a good wedding, how could it be like this?
Ji Beihan also had no clue, such a thing happened, it was really unexpected, "Come on, quickly check the leftovers and tea from yesterday, as well as all the used wine glasses and wine jugs, all carefully, and there must be no sloppiness." ”
I haven't found out the reason here, someone has already come to the palace, and I asked Ji Beihan to go over and explain the reason to the ministers.
"Beihan, how can this be said clearly. Ji Weiting pulled Ji Beihan behind him, "Taifu is highly respected in the imperial court, his death, our Ji Wangfu's reputation is discredited, if you can't come up with sufficient evidence, you must give an explanation, let me go, it's a big deal." ”
"Dad, I did this, and I should go. ”
The father and son argued for a while, and Chu Ge stood up, "Father, don't fight, I'll go with Bei Han, we are upright, what are you afraid of!"
Chu Nan hugged Tuan Tuan and asked worriedly, "Chu Ge, will it be okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry. ”
Chu Nan used to think that her daughter was having an easy time here, but she didn't expect that she was so busy, not only to arrange all kinds of chores for such a large family, but also to deal with the court.
"Beihan, this matter is not simple, we may have been plotted. Ji Weiting whispered, Ji Beihan nodded, "Yes, so, Chu Ge and I entered the palace, just in time to check, father, don't panic, what we haven't done, no one can convict us." ”
Ji Weiting nodded, no longer entangled, "Okay, then you should be careful." ”
Ji Beihan prepared a carriage and took Chu Ge into the palace together.
At the gate of the palace, I saw my father-in-law, his face was very bad, "Oh, King Ji, I finally look forward to you, the emperor is waiting for you, please here." ”
