Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 509
The relative recognition banquet is held in the Ziwei Hall of Fengsheng Palace, and men and women sit separately in the inner and outer halls.As the protagonist of today's confession banquet, Wu Jingzhen and Du Heng had to serve in front of the Empress Dowager's table for a while before retiring from the table.Seeing Wu Jingzhen holding the chopsticks and Du Heng serving the wine, the two came to the Empress Dowager and called out "Grandmother..." in a clear and clear voice.

The bisque wine juice flowed out from the spout of the white jade Jiulong holding pot, and poured into the white jade inlaid gold goblet. As soon as the wine juice came out, the face of Du Heng, who was pouring the wine, changed completely...

The slight change in Du Heng's face was only an instant thing, and her face soon returned to normal.In the midst of this flash, Du Heng's mind was spinning, and he had already made up his mind secretly. He saw her pouring wine not only did not stop, but became bigger and bigger, and the wine was poured into the glass like a waterfall. In an instant, it overflowed the cup and wet the handle of the tall jade cup.The queen mother was sitting alone, and both she and the maids beside her saw Du Heng's sudden exaggerated pouring movements.The queen mother frowned slightly, feeling strange in her heart. Judging from her several contacts with Du Heng, Du Heng is not such a person who has no sense of measure. How could he make such an unreliable mistake at such an important moment.

Seeing that the cup holder was wet, Du Heng immediately took out a handkerchief embroidered with begonias and folded it twice, and deliberately wiped the cup holder with the part embroidered with the pattern of begonia flowers.Then quietly showed the pattern of begonias soaked in wine to the Queen Mother.Seeing that the beautiful begonias embroidered with silver silk suddenly turned into pitch black, the queen mother was shocked. Wu Jingzhen and the people who served beside her were also sharp-eyed, so naturally they also saw this shocking scene. He didn't show it on the surface, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.

It has been 50 years since the queen mother entered the palace. Not only has she lived in peace until now, but she has also successfully protected her two sons. I don't like to ask questions when I'm old, and most of the people who have experienced those bloody storms with the Queen Mother are no longer there, which makes people think that she is a confused old lady who only knows Gao Le every day.

The Queen Mother had experienced such things as poisoning dozens of times, so she didn't panic at all, and smiled and winked at Du Heng, like a naughty child.He reached out and picked up the jade cup that Du Heng had just wiped the handle of.Du Heng wasn't sure if the Queen Mother had counted, so he called softly: "Grandmother?"

The queen mother smiled, raised her sleeve to cover it, and moved the wine glass to her lips with the other hand. From Du Heng's angle, she could see that the jade cup in the queen mother's hand had never touched her lips, and the wine in the glass poured down like a thread. It was sucked away by the thick veil that appeared on the Empress Dowager's lap at some unknown time.

Seeing this scene, Du Heng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly gave the queen mother a thumbs up. The queen mother is prepared, so she doesn't have to worry.

What Du Heng could see, Wu Jingzhen could also see. She was also clever, and pretended to drop the gold-encrusted ivory chopsticks in her hand. Chopsticks and vegetables, you can tell whether the food is poisonous or not at a glance, and everyone at the Empress Dowager's table feels more at ease.

Du Heng poured the wine out of the cup, and Wu Jingzhen dropped the ivory chopsticks by mistake. Originally, this was something that could be picked on, but the Queen Mother was not angry, and looked at the two grandsons and daughters-in-law with a smile, with a satisfied expression no matter how she looked at it , so the queen and the others couldn't say anything, they could only be secretly jealous in their hearts, they never expected that the queen mother would be so partial to Du Heng and Wu Jingzhen.Whether the Empress Dowager is just partial to the two grandsons and their husbands is anyone's guess.

After the wine was served, the Empress Dowager ordered the two grandsons and daughters-in-law to go back to their seats, Wu Jingzhen sat next to the fifth prince and concubine, and Du Heng sat at the table with the Sun family.

Sitting at the bottom, Mrs. Sun only saw the Empress Dowager raising a glass to drink, but she didn't know that the wine hadn't even entered the Empress Dowager's mouth, so she just stroked the huge ruby ​​ring on the ring finger of her left hand with her right hand, and waited anxiously for the Empress Dowager to take a drink. The poisonous hair, waiting for the emperor to punish Du Heng who served the wine, as long as the imperial doctor came in and tested it, he would be able to find out that the wine was poisonous, and the pot of wine was tested for poison before it was sent to the Queen Mother's table, the drug test Afterwards, only Du Heng and the maid who brought the wine came into contact with the jug, and those who could be selected to give the jug were naturally loyal people, but Du Heng had a Miaoshan background, so no matter how one thought about it, people would think that she was a poisoner.

But after waiting for a while, the queen mother drank two more glasses of wine, but there was still no poisonous hair, Sun could not help but lose her temper, and secretly became anxious.Du Heng was sitting next to Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Sun's vague uneasiness fell into Du Heng's eyes.Du Heng didn't expect that Mrs. Sun was the one who poisoned her, but she felt a little strange. It was not the first time for Mrs. Sun to enter the palace, so she shouldn't be so nervous.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not show any signs of poisoning, Sun also knew that there must be something wrong in that link, she secretly glanced sideways at Du Heng, only to see that Du Heng's expression was as usual and nothing could be seen.Mrs. Sun hated Du Heng's expression of being indifferent to everything and seemingly not caring about anything.All of a sudden, anger grew from her heart to evil, she only quietly wiped the ruby ​​ring with the handkerchief, then put the handkerchief back into her sleeve, and in the process of putting the handkerchief away, the corners of her handkerchief Coincidentally, when it brushed over the golden dish, a speck of white powder as fine as dust fell into the dish.

Mrs. Sun also exhausted her thoughts today, she knew that Du Heng prefers vegetarian food, and only the Golden Jade Mantang on the table was steamed with snow-white shredded bamboo shoots and yellow golden gourd shreds in the hollowed out melon, the others were all Unless Du Heng doesn't eat greasy dishes such as fat chicken and big duck, if he eats them, he will only touch this golden dish.Sun's guess was not wrong, but there was one thing she didn't know, that is, Du Heng had a nose that was extremely sensitive to smells, she could easily smell smells that ordinary people couldn't smell at all, and she could distinguish what it was.

Just like now, Du Heng took two thin shredded bamboo shoots, which were originally intended to be put into his mouth, but a very faint smell wafted into Du Heng's nose. Among the small dishes in front of you.Surprised, Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked, "Sister and brother, why don't you eat?"

Du Heng said indifferently: "It's nothing, suddenly I don't want to eat it, second sister-in-law should use more. Just now I tasted this golden jade dish, it tastes pretty good, second sister-in-law, don't you want to try it?"

Mrs. Sun dared to eat the Jinyu Mantang with added ingredients, so she hurriedly took a piece of rouge goose preserves into her mouth and chewed it. After chewing two or three mouthfuls, she swallowed it indiscriminately, and then said softly: "Since younger brothers and sisters like Jinyu Mantang, you should eat it." Use more, it is not common to have the opportunity to eat the imperial food in this palace. They are all extremely rare and delicious."
