Chapter 85: The Palace Banquet
Mu Ruoxue knew that Li Luo must have something to hide from herself, but seeing that Li Luo refused to say anything, she didn't ask any more, but Mu Ruoxue would definitely find out these things and help Li Luo solve the witchcraft on his body.
Subsequently, Mu Ruoxue left the palace and went directly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as she walked to the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw a father-in-law coming to the door, Mu Ruoxue was a little shocked in her heart, what kind of will came to the palace, and remembered the last time the emperor sent Wuyunwei to arrest herself and the traveling doctor, it seems that she has to be ready now!
Then he went directly to the front hall, only to see that Mu Hanyun and Li Jinxiu's mother and daughter were in the hall, Li Jinxiu's mother and daughter were still full of displeasure when they saw Mu Ruoxue, but Mu Ruoxue didn't pay attention to them anymore.
"The emperor's message." When the father-in-law arrived in the hall, he glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice.
Immediately, as usual to receive the holy decree, Mu Hanyun and the others knelt on the ground.
"I set up a banquet tonight to catch the wind for the prince of the Western Qi Kingdom, Miss Mu and the doctor You contributed to easing the relationship between the two countries last time, and I can go to the palace banquet with the Prime Minister tonight." The father-in-law looked at Mu Ruoxue Dao, his face full of compliments.
"The minister takes the order!" Mu Hanyun said when he heard this.
"Please also ask the eldest lady to prepare well, don't disappoint the emperor!" The father-in-law looked at Mu Ruoxue and said with a smile on his face.
"The emperor's holy grace, the courtiers will naturally not live up to the emperor's expectations!" Mu Ruoxue said lightly, smiling secretly in her heart, I'm afraid that tonight will be a Hongmen banquet, but even so, I still have to go.
Seeing Mu Ruoxue like this, the father-in-law exchanged a few words with Mu Hanyun and left.
Mu Hanyun looked at the back of the father-in-law leaving, there was a trace of unknown emotion in his eyes, and then looked at Mu Ruoxue and said: "Your Majesty, let you and I participate in the palace banquet together, you remember to abide by the rules at the palace banquet, and you must not come nonsense." ”
"Dad, my daughter understands and is measured." Mu Ruoxue replied lightly, knowing that Mu Hanyun was caring about herself, although she still looked preachy, Mu Ruoxue had long been used to it.
And Mu Ruofei, who was standing on the side, was full of fire, looking at Mu Ruoxue how unpleasant she looked, and said: "Sister is really a blessing, not only the prince and the prince are good friends with my sister, but now even the emperor praises my sister!" When will my sister teach my sister this kind of ability! ”
Li Jinxiu listened to the emperor's edict just now, and he was also very unhappy!
Mu Ruoxue glanced at Mu Ruofei when she heard this, her eyes were full of indifference, but she was interrupted by Mu Hanyun's words just as she wanted to speak.
"What? Two months of lockdown isn't enough? Look at you now, I asked you to copy "Female Virtue" a hundred times last time, and there are less! You don't understand what female virtue means at all! Mu Hanyun looked at Mu Ruofei with a dark face, why didn't he find out that his daughter was so capable of making trouble before!
Mu Ruofei's face was full of displeasure when she heard this, and she was stopped by Li Jinxiu just as she wanted to speak.
"Master, Ruofei didn't mean that just now, she was just joking, don't blame her, master." Li Jinxiu looked at Mu Hanyun Dao, glanced at Mu Ruoxue, and thought of the way she forced herself with scissors last time, and she still had some palpitations.
Mu Ruoxue didn't want to pay attention to them anymore, so she went back to her yard, stayed in her pharmacy all morning, and fed all the Gu worms she raised with her own blood.
The sky gradually darkened, Mu Ruoxue looked at the sky, and it was not far from the time to go to the palace banquet, and after returning to the room to freshen up and dress up, she wanted to set off, walked a few steps and turned around to look at her dresser.
According to the memory of the original owner, the Queen Mother seems to have given the original owner a bracelet, Mu Ruoxue thought about it and found the bracelet, which was a mutton fat jade bracelet, and then Mu Ruoxue wore it on her hand, and then set off.
Mu Ruoxue and Mu Hanyun sat in the same carriage, the father and daughter were very quiet along the way, they didn't talk much, and when they arrived at the palace gate, the two got down and walked to the palace banquet.
"Ruoxue, although you saved Artur's subordinates and eased the relationship between the two countries, remember not to take credit at the palace banquet for a while, and don't talk too much, we can't guess the emperor's thoughts, but you must not make a mistake first!" Mu Hanyun glanced at Mu Ruoxue and said.
Mu Ruoxue nodded with a smile and said, "I know, these daughters have written it down." ”
Because it was a reception banquet for Artur, the scene of the palace banquet was very grand, and all the important ministers of the court came.
As soon as Mu Ruoxue took her seat, she watched Li Luo come with the You Doctor, and when the You Doctor saw Mu Ruoxue, she walked over directly and sat on the table next to Mu Ruoxue, while Li Luo sat on the lower left side of the emperor's position.
"Hey, girl, this scene is quite lively today." Doctor You looked at Mu Ruoxuedao.
"Indeed, the emperor called all her princesses, I heard that the emperor intends to marry with the Western Qi Kingdom, and also wants to use this palace banquet to let Artur know these princesses." Mu Ruoxue said lightly.
Mu Ruoxue: They came a little early, and now there are still some people who are going here one after another.
"Third sister, who do you think my father will let us marry?" The fourth princess, who was sitting not far from Mu Ruoxue, looked at the third princess and asked.
"My father loves the sixth sister the most, and I think eighty percent will let the sixth sister go." The third princess drank a glass of wine and said lightly.
"No, I think the third sister is the most suitable candidate, your dancing is so good, you will definitely be able to dance amazingly in a while, and win the prince of Artur in one fell swoop." The fourth princess looked at the third princess and said.
The third princess didn't have much expression on her face, but there was a faint smug in the corners of her eyes.
Their conversation came into Mu Ruoxue's ears, Mu Ruoxue didn't care, glanced at Artur who was sitting opposite, saw that he was drinking, and also glanced at Mu Ruoxue, the two looked at each other and greeted each other with their eyes.
Soon, the palace banquet began, the ministers toasted and flattered each other, the three princesses finished dancing, and then everyone praised again and again, and the emperor was also very happy, and then looked at Mu Ruoxue.
"Prince Artur is the guest of honor of my dynasty, although there was a small misunderstanding with the prince before, but fortunately, thanks to the help of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the traveling doctor, this misunderstanding was resolved, it is really meritorious, I made this sheep tongue in the special kitchen today, and I gave it to Miss Mu and the traveling doctor." The emperor looked at Mu Ruoxue and You Yidao.
"Courtiers, thank you for the emperor's reward." Mu Ruoxue thanked her, but looking at the plate of sheep tongue that the palace maid brought to her table and the table of the traveling doctor, her eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
You Yi looked at the emperor in front of him and rewarded this dish, and frowned, he hated this emperor very much, the assassination of him and Mu Ruoxue on the outskirts of the city last time seemed to happen right in front of him, if it weren't for Li Luo who was also there at the time, he and Mu Ruoxue didn't know how it was now!
The traveling doctor looked at the delicacies in front of him, but he didn't have the heart to eat a mouthful, who knows if the emperor poisoned it! At this time, you can't use a silver needle to test for drugs!
Mu Ruoxue glanced at Doctor You, naturally knew what he was thinking, and then picked up the chopsticks and added a piece of lamb tongue, and when Mu Ruoxue stretched out his hand, the bracelet given by the Queen Mother on his hand was revealed.
At this time, the emperor was staring at Murong Xue intently, and the smile on her face deepened when he saw her holding chopsticks and vegetables, but when he saw the bracelet on Mu Ruoxue's hand, his eyes suddenly became very shocked.
"Wait a minute!" The emperor hurriedly opened his mouth to Mu Ruoxue, and his voice was a few degrees higher.
And the people who were talking to each other at the palace banquet were all interrupted by the emperor's sudden words, everyone turned their heads to look at the emperor, not understanding what the emperor was doing, even Mu Ruoxue stopped moving.
The emperor also realized his gaffe just now, and immediately adjusted his expression, looked at Mu Ruoxue and said: "I didn't think about it just now, the sheep's tongue is cold, and women should not eat more, but I forgot about this just now, come here, remove the dishes." ”
Immediately, he said: "Bring this bowl of snowflake bird's nest porridge to Miss Mu, this porridge can be used more by Miss Mu." ”
Mu Ruoxue's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and said, "The courtiers thank the emperor for the reward." ”
Mu Hanyun and Li Luo, who were sitting on the side, frowned when they saw this situation, and they both felt that this matter would not be so simple.
And the expression on Mu Ruoxue's face at this time was still very flat, as if nothing had happened, she picked up the bowl of porridge and ate it.
And the doctor looked at Mu Ruoxue, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes, the girl ate the vegetables given by the emperor like that, what if it was poisonous!
Seeing this situation, everyone returned to the state they had just now, and at this moment, Mu Ruoxue suddenly covered her lower abdomen, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell directly.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and Mu Hanyun and Li Luo immediately ran to Mu Ruoxue's side.
Li Luo hugged Mu Ruoxue in his arms, his face was anxious, and he looked at Mu Ruoxue's blood spurting out, it was black! It shows that Mu Ruoxue was poisoned!
The emperor watched Mu Ruoxue fall, and he was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "What's going on?" ”
"Your Majesty, the eldest lady should have been poisoned and needs to be treated immediately!" Li Luo looked at the emperor, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
"Quick, take Miss Mu to the side hall and invite the imperial doctor to come over!" The emperor said again, watching Mu Ruoxue faint on the ground, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He had obviously changed the poisonous dish just now, why was Mu Ruoxue still poisoned, could it be that he was pretending? But if Mu Ruoxue was really poisoned here, although he was the emperor, it was not easy to explain!
Subsequently, Li Luo directly took Mu Ruoxue to the side hall, because Mu Ruoxue and Li Luo are different from men and women after all, Li Luo returned to the main hall after sending Mu Ruoxue to the side hall, and the imperial doctors were treating Mu Ruoxue.
Seeing this, the doctor also wanted to go to the side store to see Mu Ruoxue, but the emperor said: "Doctor You, you wait, I have already ordered the imperial doctors to go for treatment, if there are too many people, I am afraid it will affect Miss Mu." ”
Doctor You's face was full of displeasure when he heard this, but the emperor said so, and he couldn't say anything, so he dispelled the idea of going to see Mu Ruoxue.
