The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 228 Banquet, Poisoned Wine

"Your Highness King Jin is so confident?" Mu Ruyan raised her eyebrows: "What if I don't agree?"

"You will agree, because our goals are the same." Wei Wuzhen smiled.

Mu Ruyan took a deep breath, finally took her eyes away from Mu Yunge, turned slightly to listen to her ear: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

……

Today's ministers' banquet is a little different from the last time Emperor Wu specially hosted a banquet for wealthy businessmen.Everyone gathered together, and hundreds of low tables were arranged in four rows. After being seated, the crowds were crowded and it was extremely lively.Emperor Wu came over with Concubine Xiao, seeing this scene and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, this arrangement is very interesting, the imperial concubine has a heart."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Concubine Xiao Gui blesses her body, and said with a smile, "Where does the concubine want to get these, it's all Jin Wang's idea."

"Reward!" Emperor Wu was delighted, and immediately ordered the inner eunuch to record Wei Wuzhen's achievements, and reward him after returning to the palace.

Wei Wuzhen went out to thank him, and Emperor Wu waved his hand: "Then let's start the banquet."

He was getting older, he was very tired from running around for half a day, his face showed tiredness, after drinking for three rounds, he said some symbolic instructions, and asked Wei Wuzhen to come out to host the banquet, while he was supported by Concubine Xiao Gui to go back to the main hall rest.Concubine Xiao accompanied Emperor Wu to get up, and nodded to Wei Wuzhen with a smile, Wei Wuzhen understood, and only a little bit of joy appeared on his always gloomy face.

Seeing this, Nangong Jin couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Prince Jin is the eldest son, so it is inevitable that the emperor will value him highly. I'm afraid that in the near future, we will bow our heads at his feet and bow down as ministers!"

"Although he is the eldest son, he is still a son of a concubine." Mu Yunge said with a faint smile, "King Li is a descendant of a concubine, so the position is naturally more honorable. How can we be sure who wins and loses?"

Nangong Jin was taken aback for a moment, then said randomly, "That's right."

The host is the most respectful, even if Emperor Wu appointed Wei Wuzhen to preside over it, he could not sit in that position. He stood on his own seat and ordered in a cold voice: "Today, all the ministers are gathering. Don't be cautious." He clapped his hands Immediately, a maidservant stepped forward and moved back some of the low tables in the center of the hall, leaving an open space. Eight girls in colorful clothes lined up in two rows and danced lightly. The sound of silk and bamboo lingered in the hall. , Wei Wuzhen then ordered: "Pick up your chopsticks."

With singing and dancing, this banquet is obviously much more interesting. Most of the people on the left and right know each other, so they let go and toasted each other.

Mu Zhizhao is a newly entrusted Marquis. On the way here just now, Emperor Wu deliberately talked to him, and the wind in the court changed a little bit.People kept coming over to toast, and Mu Zhizhao rejected his friends, and after a while, he drank a little dazedly, lying on the table in a daze.

Xiao Shi was busy pouring tea and handing over water, Mo Zhizhao held her hand and smiled foolishly: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while, don't be so busy."

"Mother, give this hangover pill to Dad." Mu Yunge suddenly remembered what Wei Shi gave him last time, and hurriedly poured out a vermilion pill from the small jade bottle at his waist, and handed it to Xiao Shi.

Xiao's tense face relaxed after feeding Mu Zhizhao.

Mu Yunge also felt relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when another glass of wine was handed over to him.Holding the wine glass with long and slender fingers is really pretty, and Mu Ruyan at the table smiled very sincerely: "Miss Mu, what happened last time was that Ruyan was not good, Ruyan came here to apologize to the lady, and asked the lady to give Ruyan a face!"

Mu Yunge frowned slightly, feeling suspicious.

What kind of person Mu Ruyan is, she has inquired clearly, will such a femme fatale girl apologize to her for what happened last time?
Her eyes fell on the wine glass in Mu Ruyan's hand, and she slowly narrowed her eyes: Mu Ruyan's glass of wine may not be so delicious...

"Princess, you are welcome, Yunge has forgotten the past." Mu Yunge smiled lightly and refused: "Princess, please don't take it to heart."

Seeing that she didn't take the glass of wine, Mu Ruyan's complexion changed, her smile faded, and she said in a low voice, "Miss Mu didn't save face by drinking this glass, but she still remembers the grudge from last time, right?"

When Xiao Shi heard Mu Yunge call her a princess, she immediately guessed her identity. Afraid of Mu Yunge's disadvantage, she quietly tugged on Mu Yunge's sleeve under the low table.Nangong Jin was already close to Mu Yunge, and when she saw this, she immediately reached out to grab the wine glass: "Ms. Mu doesn't know how to drink, so I made this glass for her!"

"That can't be done, I admire Miss." Mu Ruyan bit Mu Yunge tightly and refused to let go, her eyes fell on Nangong Jin, but she showed a trace of resentment and malicious intentions: "It's just a glass of wine, and drinking it again Undead, General Nangong wouldn't even give me such a chance, would he?"

Nangong Jin was choked by her words, and gradually became angry in her heart, and she wanted to stand up with a chill on her pretty face.

Mu Yunge held her down and shook his head lightly. Seeing that Nangong Jin had calmed down, he turned to Mu Ruyan and picked up the wine glass she pushed in front of him: "Okay then, Yun Ge toast the princess!"

"Please!" Mu Ruyan stared at her tightly, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

Mu Yunge raised his hand slowly, brought the wine glass to his mouth, took a deep breath, and immediately smelled a faint sweetness in the intoxicating aroma.

She lowered her gaze coldly, without saying a word, using the cover of her sleeves, raised her chin slightly, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing that she drank, Mu Ruyan smiled triumphantly in her eyes, and drank the wine completely.The goal was achieved, but she was not in a hurry to leave for a while, she stood and asked again: "Miss Mu doesn't seem like a person who can drink, I'm afraid she can't get used to this kind of strong alcohol, if she gets drunk later, even Tell me. I am familiar with this palace, and I will send someone to take the lady back."

"Thank you, princess." Mu Yunge said flatly, "With General Nangong here, Yunge can find the way back."

"Okay, then I don't have to worry about it." Mu Ruyan didn't stay any longer, blessed her body, and led the girl back to her seat.

As soon as she left, Nangong Jin pulled Mu Yunge nervously and asked, "How are you? How dare you drink that wine, who knows what kind of trouble this poisonous woman is doing!"

Mu Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, and showed Nangong Jin the sleeve of his right hand, only to see that a part of the purple cuff had become very dark, obviously wet: "I know there must be something wrong with the wine, but I dare to eat it , isn’t this stupid?”

"Fortunately, you are alert." Nangong Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned again: "She refused to leave after toasting, she must have suspected that you would not swallow it, and she deliberately had nothing to say to talk to you. I don't know what is in the wine What did you add to make her so cautious..."

"It's a drug that has the effect of aphrodisiac." Mu Yunge looked at Mu Ruyan's seat. Although she went back, her eyes were still fixed on her side. Mu Yunge reached out to hold Nangong Jin: " Next, please take me back, otherwise she will suspect that I didn't drink that wine."

Nangong Jin nodded, and Mu Yunge turned to Xiao Shi, and said softly: "Mother, my daughter is a little dizzy, go back and rest first."

"Okay, I'll see you off." Xiao Shi didn't hear her and Nangong Jin muttering, and was about to stand up.

Nangong Jin hurriedly held her down: "Madam is pregnant, and the night is dark, I should take Yun Ge back. I live in the palace, the environment is better, and I am alone, why not let Yun Ge stay with me? Madam, don't worry, there are guards around my palace, nothing will happen, Madam just take care of Lord Hou. He is quite drunk..."

Xiao also really couldn't leave her body, knowing that her daughter was going to the An Ning Princess's mansion these days, she agreed: "Then let Yun Ge bother the Princess for a night."

Mu Yunge leaned softly against Nangong Jin, with his wrist flaccidly resting on Nangong Jin's arm, and the two walked out of the hall side by side.

Seeing this, Mu Ruyan was overjoyed, and turned to look at Wei Wuzhen: "It's done, let your people prepare."

Wei Wuzhen nodded, waved to the guards behind him, and gave some instructions.The guard turned and left, and came back with a normal expression after a while, still standing behind him.

Wei Shanzhi and Wei Shi's faces darkened at the same time when Wei Shanzhi and Wei Shi saw this small gesture of the two of them.

Wei Shi was naturally concerned about Mu Yunge, for fear that she would follow the path of these two people; Wei Shanzhi was annoyed, how could Wei Wuzhen get ahead of him with his painstaking planning?

Wei Shanzhi stuck his left hand, luckily for a few days, his face flushed after a while.He just stood up and said with a little unsteady breath: "Brother Dahuang, I'm a little too drunk, I want to go back and rest first, so let's take a step first."

Wei Wuzhen glanced at him, he was pretending to be very similar, he couldn't see anything.Wei Wuzhen was very clear about his actions in Jinling, and knew what was going on in his mind. The more anxious Wei Shanzhi became, the less anxious Wei Wuzhen became, and said in a deep voice, "You are a bit of a drinker, how could you get drunk so easily? But it’s the fault of Brother Huang who neglected you by talking to Princess Ruyan? Come on, come on, fourth brother, don’t be annoyed, big brother toasts you!”

As he spoke, Wei Wuzhen toasted himself and sent it to Wei Shanzhi.

Wei Shanzhi was in a hurry to leave, so he had no choice but to take the wine, smiled wryly and shook his head: "This is just one glass, if there is more, I'm going to get drunk."

"Okay." Wei Wuzhen watched him drink with a smile, and without giving him a chance to speak, he hugged him and returned to his seat: "No drinking, we sit at the same seat, the emperor happens to have some military matters to ask, fourth brother But you must show face."

Wei Shi's eyes rolled, and he took advantage of this moment to get away quickly: "Brother Emperor, I'm not interested in talking about these government affairs. I made an appointment to enjoy the moon, so I'm leaving now!"

Wei Shanzhi was held back by Wei Wuzhen, and he was even more anxious in his heart, and he didn't dare to struggle too much to show his whereabouts. When he saw Wei Shi, he wanted to leave, and hurriedly echoed: "It's not as good as me..."

"Hey~ Fifth Brother has always been flirtatious. It's okay for him to go. How troublesome is it for you to follow?" Wei Wuzhen glanced at Wei Shanzhi, stopped his words, and then turned his gaze back to Wei Shi.Wei Shi is usually not interested in the throne. Although he has one or two military achievements, Wei Wuzhen doesn't pay attention to him. Most importantly, he has never heard that Wei Shi has too much connection with Mu Yunge, so he just Relieved, he immediately nodded: "Go, let the people who follow you take care of you."

Wei Shi stretched his waist and left the hall first.

As soon as he went out, he immediately ordered Lin Yi who was following him: "Hurry up and lead Wang Jian to Miss Mu's tent. If there is any abnormality, be sure to catch me alive!"
