Chapter 95

When Lu Yuan's brother and sister came over, because there was an unfamiliar foreign man, Cui Lingping rarely went out, so when she saw Lu Yuan closely, she instinctively pushed aside shyly. When the Lu family brothers and sisters had gone far, she walked up to Lin Wan again, and it was obvious that the scene that the other party had just seen was quite touching.

"Sister Wan, I also heard earlier that Xue Sanye and Uncle Lu both want to marry their cousin. However, they were all rejected by Mrs. Lin, and in today's game, Uncle Lu and Xue Sanye are also fighting hotly, as if they want to fight for a victory. However, in the end, Gongzi Yong came out on top. Cui Ling spoke softly, with a shallow smile on her white face, and a deep look of envy in her eyes, she sighed, "However, Miss Lu is really rude to talk to Sister Wan like this." If she really marries the Lu family, the anger given by this sister-in-law will be enough. โ€

Isn't it, in her previous life, she married the Lu family, and everyone in the family was angry with her.

Lin Wan didn't want to think about those unhappy things, but now that her wish has come true, she doesn't have to take the detour she took in her previous life, but directly married Zhao Yong, her eternal wishful husband.

"Sister Cui, let's not talk about this, Your Majesty will set up a banquet in the Qing Palace, and he will definitely find us to sing and dance for a while. Lin Wan said as he pulled Cui Ling and said with a smile, "Sister Cui can sing and dance, don't hide it for a while, you have to use all your skills." After that, he leaned into her ear again, and said with a smile, "Today's whole banquet, but there are the best famous nobles in the entire capital, and they must like it when they see their sister's singing and dancing." โ€

Cui Ling immediately pushed her, blushed shyly and bowed her head, "How could Sister Wan say such a thing, I don't know how to be ashamed. Besides, with Sister Zhou here, where would Ling'er have that ability. As soon as she looked up after speaking, she saw a tall man with heroic martial arts walking towards her, and when she saw that figure, she was so ashamed that she immediately hid behind Lin Wan.

Lin Wan knew Cui Ling's thoughts about Cousin Xue, winked at her and smiled, and then raised his head to look at Xue Ping.

That Lu Yuan's face was colored, and Xue Ping was no exception, a handsome face at the moment, and his cheeks were blue and red.

From the previous life to this life, Lin Wan has always felt sorry for Cousin Ping, and this time he saw that he was injured to help himself, and said with concern and self-blame: "Cousin Ping, I have a medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, which I usually have nothing to do at home, so I'll let Huatang go back and get a bottle now." โ€

Seeing that his cousin cared about him, a trace of warmth gradually appeared in Xue Ping's deep eyes, and he still straightened his waist, but he pulled the corners of his thin lips and said: "Cousin Wan, don't be so troublesome, this injury for a person who practices martial arts is really nothing." His eyes have been on Lin Wan's face from beginning to end, but he is also very well-behaved, just like a brother caressing his sister, he nodded at Lin Wan, "Cousin Wan doesn't need to worry, and you don't need to think about it, as you said, since you regard me as a brother like your uncle, then it is natural for my brother to do these things for my sister." โ€

Xue Ping didn't say it explicitly, but Lin Wan understood it in his heart.

The more Cousin Ping is like this, the more uncomfortable she feels in her heart, she owes him too much, and in this life, I am afraid that she will not be able to pay it back.

Since Xue Ping took the trouble to say such a thing, Lin Wan naturally didn't feel good at the moment, so he also smiled and said: "Among the many noble girls for a while, my cousin has a good look, and if there is a girl I like, I will go to the door to propose marriage." In the future, if there is a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law to take care of my brother, I, as a younger sister, will also be happy for my brother. โ€

After that, she pushed Cui Ling towards Xue Ping slightly, and Xue Ping's eyes glanced at Cui Ling.

glanced at it politely, then clasped his fists at Cui Ling, and nodded at Lin Wan and Zhou Huaru, and then lifted his robe and strode towards the hall.

Cui Ling's face was blushing at the moment, and she didn't dare to raise her head quietly until the tall figure had gone away. Looking at that tall and heroic posture, thinking of his handsome and profound face in his mind, and thinking of her grandmother telling her a few days ago that in a few days, she would go to Zhou Taijun to talk about it, if the Xue family also had this meaning, they would match this family affair at that time.

There was a story before that Xue Ping and Lu Yuan went to propose marriage to Sister Wan at the same time, and she was uncomfortable in her heart, but now that she looks, even if Xue Sanye used to be in love with Sister Wan, but when she heard him say that, she already regarded Sister Wan as her own sister, and the thorn in her heart was gone.

Thinking of this, Cui Ling became more and more happy, and kept holding Lin Wan's arm tightly, with envy in his heart, and instinctively and deliberately flattering.

~~~

After His Majesty and the concubines of the harem were seated, the courtiers and children of the family below would be seated, and Lin Wan and Zhou Huaru Cui Ling sat farther away from the main seat. Looking at the upper position from this position, I could only see His Majesty's thin figure, but I couldn't see the look on his face.

And there are two concubines in front of His Majesty, looking at the clothes, they are not of high status.

One of the concubines is holding the emperor's eldest son in her arms, which should be Huang Jieyu, and the other is Xia Meiren, who is of a lower rank.

There were not many concubines in Emperor Jingyuan's harem, and Empress Liu and Wen Zhaoyi were deposed one after another. Many ministers are really dissatisfied with this, when will it be the turn of a big country to ask a servant to do the work of the mother of the country? If this matter is spread out, will it not lose the face of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Sure enough, His Majesty just sat down, and before his buttocks covered the dragon chair, some courtiers got up and knelt in the middle to play.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this Liuqing Palace banquet was hosted by a woman from a palace maid, what kind of system is this. The one who spoke was the righteous doctor from the third grade, and I saw him kneeling on his knees, but his waist was straight, "Since the Emperor Taizu, our dynasty has prospered for decades, and with the protection of Emperor Taizu Longwei, the surrounding barbarians dare not easily violate the border, if those barbarians know that my Dayan is now in charge of the harem is a servant, wouldn't it be to laugh off his big teeth." Your Majesty, Empress Liu and Wen Zhaoyi must have been victimized, and they are the two maidens in this harem who want to replace them. โ€

After speaking, the righteous doctor fell to the ground, his hands superimposed, and his forehead rested on the back of his superimposed hands.

Someone started the way, and since then, a number of ministers risked their lives to advise, all saying that they wanted His Majesty to find out about the wrongs of Empress Liu and Wen Zhaoyi.

Lin Wan sat silently in the corner, watching this good show, thinking in his heart that these ministers were all party henchmen of Prime Minister Wen. This exhortation, I am afraid that it is for Wen Zhaoyi, so I mentioned Queen Liu by the way. He is kind to the young daughter of the Wen family, and Wen Xiang is concerned about this kindness, so he will not lead things to himself.

I was embarrassed that Huang Jieyu, who was on the cusp of the wind and waves but didn't know it, and really thought that she was once favored and full of wealth.

Emperor Jingyuan said: "I have already said that Wen Zhaoyi's matter will be discussed when I return to the palace." He sat upright at the top, but the tone of his speech was obviously a little lacking in confidence, not at all like what a monarch said to his courtiers, only listening to his voice was quite weak and authentic, "As for Huang Jieyu hosting this Liuqing Palace banquet, it is just a temporary substitute for his duties, where is it as serious as what you Aiqing said?"

The righteous doctor continued in a loud voice: "There is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and it is really insulting to ask slaves and maids to perform the duties of masters. Your Majesty, this country was brought down by Emperor Taizu, if it is destroyed in the hands of Your Majesty, Your Majesty can afford this crime, but the old minister can't afford it. โ€

Lin Wan's heart lifted when he heard this, and he didn't know if this righteous doctor deliberately said this to His Majesty, or if he had always been so open-mouthed. In front of so many people, he actually threw a few ears at His Majesty on the spot, no matter how hard he was backstage, it was the Ninety-Five Supreme who sat on the dragon chair, and it was not something that he could afford to offend as a little righteous doctor.

Sure enough, Emperor Jing Yuan was really angry, and slapped his palm on the dragon case, shocking everyone to kneel on the ground.

The palace was silent, and at this moment someone shouted at a sharp voice: "The Empress Dowager has arrived--Concubine Zhuang Shu has arrived--The Empress Dowager has arrived!"

When the crowd heard this, they turned around on their knees and bowed in the direction of the three old men.

The Empress Dowager sat down, raised her chin high, and said: "The righteous doctor dares to speak disrespectfully to His Majesty, why, is this an attempt to rebel? The matter of the harem is a family affair of Your Majesty, when will it be your turn to point at Your Majesty's nose and speak? It is precisely with a courtier like you who does not know the height of the sky that my Dayan is in danger, if the mourning family does not remove the root cause of your majesty today, it will be the biggest threat to the Dayan Dynasty." Come on, put the righteous doctor on death row, and ask for beheading after the autumn. โ€

"The Empress Dowager...... Grand empress dowager...... Your Majesty ......, "The righteous doctor who was still empty-eyed, but at this moment he was extremely frightened, he was ordered by someone to say such a thing today, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he would ...... He was dragged back tightly by two guards, and he shouted, "Prime Minister!"

Prime Minister Wen sat like a bell and was unmoved.

The Empress Dowager said: "Prime Minister Wen, what do you think of the Mourning Family's disposition?"

Prime Minister Wen got up, bent down with his fists towards the upper position, and said: "As the Empress Dowager said, such a person who has no monarch, keeping it is the danger to Dayan, and it is best to get rid of it." โ€

Emperor Jing Yuan forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and tried to calm it down a few times, before he suppressed that anger.

Then he got up and said to the Empress Dowager: "Grandson toasts grandmother with a glass of wine." โ€

The Empress Dowager squinted slightly and looked at Emperor Jingyuan, her eyes flashed with a strange light, after she drank a glass of wine, she looked at Concubine Zhuang Shu who was sitting on the other side, and said with a pleasant face: "Yu'er, the concubine is also your ancestor, according to the rules, you should give the concubine a glass." โ€

Huang Jieyu boasted of being smart, and hurriedly got up and said: "Empress Dowager, this glass of wine from Concubine Zhuang Shu will be replaced by the concubine." After that, she smiled even more, picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it in the direction of Concubine Zhuang Shu, "Concubine Niangniang, grandson toasts you with a glass of wine, I wish you a long life, longevity and health." โ€

Zhao Yong sat on the side, with a cold face, and his hand resting on the stone case was tightly clenched into a fist.

The black eyes were cold and gloomy, locked tightly on Huang Jieyu's body, but thinking that this daughter was stupid and didn't mean to be disrespectful to her grandmother, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Concubine Zhuang Shu was gentle, and drank Huang Jieyu's toasted wine with a smile on her face, but the wine was about to enter her throat, and she felt that something was wrong. She only felt a fishy and spicy taste in her throat, and then her abdomen hurt like a knife, she reached out and covered her lower abdomen tightly with a pale face, and blood was already flowing from the corners of her mouth unconsciously.

"Grandmother!" Zhao Yong was the first to notice that Concubine Zhuang Shu was wrong, and when he saw this, he hurriedly left his seat and walked to the concubine, hugging the half-fallen body, with a hidden pain in his eyes, "Grandmother......"

"Poisonous, there is poison in this glass ......of wine," Concubine Zhuang Shu fell into her grandson's arms, and whispered softly with some grievances, "Grandmother has been careful all her life, but she gave her life on such a happy day as today, it is really ...... It's really a little unwilling. However, Yong'er, grandmother can raise you as an adult, and grandmother is happy to see you find the woman she loves. It's just a pity...... It's a pity that I can't see the day my grandson marries his daughter-in-law. โ€

Lin Wan had also quickly run to Concubine Zhuang Shu's side this time, she didn't care about everything, and quickly took out a pill from the purse tied around her waist and stuffed it into Concubine Zhuang Shu's mouth.

"What is this?" Seeing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhao Yong's eyes, and he looked at Lin Wan with some expectation.

Since he was reborn, in addition to dealing with some superb products, Lin Wan has spent the rest of his time either staying in his room to study medical books, or staying in the courtyard before refining various pills in a small room with a pile of miscellaneous items. The room with a pile of miscellaneous items has been changed into a medicine house by her, and she usually likes to drill in the small medicine house when she has nothing to do.

The pills fed to Concubine Zhuang Shu this time, although they could not detoxify, could suppress the toxicity and continue to spread into the heart.

After swallowing the pill, Concubine Zhuang Shu felt that her body was slightly better, and the pain in her body was also reduced. Zhao Yong saw that his grandmother was fine, the haze in his eyes disappeared, and his dark and bright eyes looked at Lin Wan, if he didn't take care of the wrong occasion, he really wanted to take her into his arms and hug her.

This is the little daughter-in-law given to him by God, and God really pities him Zhao Yong.

Lin Wan glanced at him, but seeing that the injury on his face was not light, he felt distressed, but thinking that she would not be able to wait in front of Zhao Yong's ancestor for a long time in front of everyone. So, having done what she had to do, she stood up lightly, retreated to the center of the hall, and then quietly knelt down.

All this came too suddenly, and many people haven't reacted to what is going on, Lin Wan has temporarily kept the concubine safe.

Only then did Emperor Jing Yuan realize that someone had poisoned the wine that Concubine Zhuang Shu drank, and Long Yan couldn't help but be furious.

Huang Jieyu looked blankly in the direction of Concubine Zhuang Shu, a pair of beautiful eyes were round, and she was about to react, and then she heard the loud sound of His Majesty slapping the table, and couldn't help but bend her legs in fright, and then knelt on the ground. It's not her fault, she knelt down so inexplicably, others must have thought that she was poisoned in the wine of the concubine.

She tried to get up, but her legs didn't seem to obey her, and she couldn't stand up at all.

Emperor Jing Yuan glanced at Huang Jieyu coldly, and hurriedly ordered: "Imperial Doctor Xuan will take the pulse of the concubine." โ€

The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask for a doctor, isn't this one kneeling in the palace a doctor? โ€

Lin Wan had carefully observed the face of the concubine as early as when she fed Zhuang Shu the pills, if she was not mistaken, the poison in the concubine was from a flower in southern Xinjiang, and it was refined from a flower that grew in southern Xinjiang. And this poison only exists in medical books, few people have seen it, and she is not sure whether it is or not, but she still said it truthfully.

"Nanjiang?" The Empress Dowager laughed lightly, then sat up straight and said, "How could this kind of โ–กโ–ก be introduced to the Central Plains? Who is so bold as to dare to kill Concubine Shu's life so blatantly. โ€

Some people immediately thought of Zhao Min, the son of King Su, and the fief of King Su was not just relying on the border of southern Xinjiang.

Zhao Min was watching a good show, but he didn't expect that the fire was finally drawn to him, he was shocked, and quickly got up and knelt down.

"The grandson is wronged, the grandson has been away from Suzhou for many years, how can there be such a poison?" Although Zhao Min panicked and was caught off guard by being framed, in the end, he had been up and down in the deep palace for many years, and he thought that he could stabilize his temperament, after he calmed down, he began to say slowly, "There must be someone who wants to borrow his grandson to cause a war between Yizhou and Suzhou, so that someone will sit and reap the profits, please ask the Empress Dowager to be clear, and she must be the master for her grandson." โ€

The Empress Dowager naturally did not speak, and there was a pre-arranged humanity: "Gongzi Min, you are ashamed to quibble, this is exactly where your cleverness lies." I'm afraid what you just said was all thought out by you in advance, and on the surface, it seems that you are indeed right, and you will not frame the old lady so blatantly. But you are taking a risk, you want to kill the old concubine, so as to blame the other two sons, I think you are the one who reaps the benefits. โ€

After the man said that, he knelt down towards the top and said: "The minister is bold, I implore Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to immediately order someone to search Gongzi Min's bedroom, if this poison is really Gongzi Min's, there is naturally this โ–กโ–ก hidden in his bedroom at this moment." When the time comes, the truth will be revealed. โ€

The Empress Dowager thought this was a good idea, nodded approvingly, and then turned to Emperor Jingyuan and said, "Your Majesty, immediately order someone to go and search for it." โ€
