The princess doesn't talk much

Chapter 210 What? !died?
"Ah... I... uh... Your Majesty, forgive me. The concubine is really not in good health, and I don't have the strength to dress up, and I have stained your majesty's holy eyes. Please forgive me." Liu Meiren was about to kneel while speaking, but Seeing her crumbling appearance, she might not be able to stand up again if she knelt down.

Emperor Kangwu frowned and said, "Excuse me."

Without saying a word, he raised his eyebrows and said: "This is strange, Liu Meiren, when you see the empress, you always dress up beautifully, but when you see your majesty, you have noodles in clear soup. .”

Liu Meiren gasped, thinking how this girl could speak so cruelly.

This time the gift was not waived, Liu Meiren hurriedly knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty atones, your Majesty atones, I usually go to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects, and my concubine still has time to prepare. I am in a hurry today, so I..."

Emperor Kang Wu frowned even more. He knew how many tricks this harem woman had, but he just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. He didn't bother to pay attention to it.

But today, this beauty Liu actually plotted against the queen, it's a bit too presumptuous!

Emperor Kangwu didn't speak, but glanced at the queen. Obviously, if the queen wanted to pursue it, then he should pursue it. If the queen didn't want to pursue it, then let's not pursue it.

The queen naturally understood what Emperor Kangwu meant, but how could she care about a little beauty.

The queen said: "Okay, get up, come and try the food they prepared for you, whether you can eat it."

This is because I don't want to pursue it anymore, and I don't want to delay any longer.

Emperor Kang Wu pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but he felt a little uncomfortable after all. For some reason, he felt that the queen never needed him.

The unspoken eyes wandered between the empress and the empress for a while, and she had a little more consideration in her heart, but with this consideration, she planned to wait until the troubles in front of her were resolved.

Wan Liu opened the mouth and said: "Go back to the empress, the food prepared by the three ladies is here." Wan Liu pointed to the three identical food boxes on the table.

The queen nodded, looked at Liu Meiren and said, "Then let's start from left to right. Let's see which one you can eat?"

Seeing that the queen did not pursue her misbehavior, Meiren Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward obediently, and opened the first food box.

As soon as the food box was opened, Liu Meiren was stunned. Isn't this stack of five small snacks the pickle shortbread from her hometown?
Liu Meiren swallowed her saliva, quickly picked up a piece, and bit it down. The taste was clearly made by her mother herself. In an instant, Liu Meiren's eyes were full of tears, and she ate all five pieces of snacks regardless.

Seeing this, Yue Hehuan lifted his chin proudly, Yue Rongjiang saw Yue Hehuan's tall tail, and knew in his heart that this first share must belong to Yue Hehuan.

Yue Rongjiang stroked his beard in satisfaction, and then cast a grateful look at Concubine Yue Gui.

Concubine Yue Gui smiled slightly, picked up a tea cup in front of her, handed it to her maid Qing Ying, and whispered a few words.

But the strange thing is, Qing Ying didn't go anywhere with the cup of tea in her arms, instead she still stood where she was, as if she was waiting for something.

No one noticed this kind of small detail, but they saw it accidentally.

Because everyone else was attracted by the competition, only Yan Buzhi already had a plan in mind, so she focused on the Yue family.

What's wrong with that cup of tea?

He pursed his lips without saying anything, unable to figure it out for the time being.

At this time, Meiren Liu had already opened the second food box, and there was a bowl of medicinal food in the second food box. It was obvious that Meiren Liu still swallowed her saliva, but this time she didn't touch it. Touching the bowl, he closed the lid with a disgusted expression.

Seeing this, Shangguan Ling'er couldn't help sighing, she made this thing, unexpectedly, Liu Meiren didn't even take a sip, it seems that she is doomed this time.

After Liu Meiren covered the second food box, she opened the third food box. She thought that the third box could just be looked at and then closed, but what she didn't expect was that the third food box was opened. At that time, there was actually a stack of five pickled shortbreads inside.

How is this going?

Everyone was also surprised, the empress couldn't help but said: "This... is this the same thing made by two girls?"

Wan Liu stepped forward to have a look, and then said: "Go back to the empress, yes, the first box and the third box are pickled shortbread."

As soon as Wanliu finished speaking, that Yue Hehuan jumped.

Yue Hehuan shouted: "No way! You still have to be shameless, people like Brother Nine, you also like Brother Nine, they make salted vegetable shortbread, you also make pickled vegetable shortbread, you have to learn everything from this lady, Am I against you?"

Spreading his hands without saying anything, he said: "They say that father and son cannot be father and son without enmity, why? Do you think I look like your father?!"

Everyone roared with laughter, Yue Rongjiang's old face darkened.

Yue Hehuan was so angry that he fell backwards, and immediately walked towards Yan Buzhi. Seeing this, Ye Wuming stepped aside and stood beside Yan Buzhi. In the blink of an eye, he stretched out his hand to pull Yan Buzhi behind him. It made Yue Hehuan so angry that he almost lost his breath.

Yue Hehuan said angrily: "Cousin! Why are you always protecting her, she...she...she cheated! She clearly watched me make shortbread, so she followed suit."

Before Ye Wuming could speak, the thirteen princes first smiled and said: "Cousin Huaner, you have to give evidence when you speak. This beauty Liu is originally from Ningjiang County. Ningjiang County's salted vegetable shortbread is famous in the Zhou Dynasty. Miss Yan wants Beauty Liu to try it." The taste of hometown, this idea is normal, don’t you too?”

Where did Yue Hehuan know about pickled vegetable shortbread and Ningjiang County, these things were clearly prepared by Concubine Yue Gui, but after hearing what the Thirteenth Prince said, she couldn't deny it.

In other words, he also poked his head out from behind Ye Wuming at this moment, and said with a smile: "Although they are all pickled vegetable shortbread, they may not all taste the same. What's the hurry, Miss Yueer, let's talk about it after Liu Meiren finishes eating."

Yue Hehuan gave her a hard look and said nothing, but didn't respond.

If she presented the box prepared by Concubine Yue Gui, she would naturally not be afraid of anything.

But that box has already been trampled to pieces by the Thirteenth Prince.

She later presented this box, which was made by Yushanfang according to the gourd painting, and it must be made by Yushanfang, so it is obvious that the two boxes of shortbread should taste exactly the same.

Then Meiren Liu couldn't tell which one was arranged by Concubine Yue, she would definitely eat both boxes.

In this way, even though Shangguan Ling'er was eliminated, if she made peace with her, wouldn't it be a draw?
Yue Hehuan was full of suffocation, secretly cursing in her heart that she was cunning!

But just when Yue Hehuan thought that Liu Meiren would eat all the salted vegetable shortbread in the third box, Liu Meiren only took a small bite and put it down.

His face was filled with an expression of being unable to swallow.

Yue Hehuan was pleasantly surprised. If Liu Meiren didn't eat the third box, then did she win?

Seeing Yue Hehuan's happy expression, he smiled without saying a word: "Miss Yueer, it's too early to be happy, she hasn't announced her name yet!"

Before Yue Hehuan figured out what Yanbuzhi meant, Wanliu had already opened her mouth to announce the results.

"Your Majesty, empress, of these three boxes of food, Meiren Liu only ate up the first box, only glanced at the second box, and took a small bite out of the third box."

The empress said, "That means the first box won, Wanliu, let's see who made the first box."

Wanliu said, "Your servant obeys."

Wanliu walked to the first food box, took out the contents, turned the food box upside down, and stuck the note on the bottom of the food box.

Wan Liu took down the note and slowly opened it, and three words appeared inside.

Everyone stretched their necks, they couldn't see what those three words were, they just waited for Wanliu to announce it, after seeing it clearly, Wanliu said: "Back to the Empress, this first box is made by... Miss Yan! Wan Liu unfolded the note, first showed it to the empress and empress, and then took it down to the three contestants.

Yue Hehuan froze in place, and that Liu Meiren also froze in place.

Liu Meiren was not only in a daze, but also couldn't help being afraid.

Although both boxes are pickled vegetable shortbread, it is obvious that pickles and lard residue are used in the first box. Lard residue is only eaten by poor people. When she was young, her family was poor, and her mother used lard residue to make it. Make pickle shortbread for her.

She will never forget this taste in her life.

The reason why she didn't eat the third box was because the salted vegetable shortbread in the third box was made of lean meat.It's not her mother's taste.

Liu Meiren knew that since Concubine Yue Gui asked her to participate in this competition, she would definitely bring out food that she could identify to help Miss Yue's family win.

But how could the food she discerned be done without saying anything?
Liu Meiren felt a chill down her spine, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Concubine Yue, only to find that Concubine Yue sneered at her neither happy nor angry.

What's with this... that smile?

Concubine Yue is blaming her?Still didn't blame her?
……

After confirming that everyone had clearly read the names on the paper, Wan Liu returned to the Empress Empress. The Empress Empress looked at the gloomy Emperor Kang Wu, and smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, words are too much to say. Down……"

Emperor Kangwu said angrily: "I know! You don't need to say more!"

Emperor Kangwu's tone was not good, and the empress didn't mind, she still smiled and said: "The concubine is talking too much. Your Majesty will see the result of this competition. Will the concubine announce it?"

Emperor Kangwu snorted coldly: "I don't bother to pay attention to them." This is what the empress announced.

Emperor Kangwu had already started to think in his heart, how could he give Ye Wuming another flat wife, no matter what, he couldn't let a girl like Yanbuzhi be the mistress in Qin Palace.

The empress coughed lightly, and said, "Since the results of the competition have come out, I will announce..."

"Wait!" Concubine Yue Gui interrupted the empress's words.

Everyone looked at Concubine Yue in doubt, Yue Hehuan and Yue Rongjiang looked at Concubine Yue expectantly, while Ye Wuming and Ye Wuming looked at Concubine Yue warily.

Concubine Yue Gui smiled and said, "Sister Empress, don't worry, sister, I have something I want to ask this future daughter-in-law."

The queen understood that Concubine Yue was using her identity as Ye Wuming's biological mother to suppress her, so the queen said helplessly, "Sister, but it's okay to say."

Concubine Yue Gui looked at Yan Buzhi, and asked, "Miss Yan, I just want to ask you a question, did you make this box of salted vegetable shortbread?"

She couldn't admit that she made this. If Concubine Yue asked her to make another box, how could she make it?
This box of shortbread was clearly the box that she used to restore Yue Acacia, which was crushed.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "The words of the noble concubine Huiyue were not made by the women. The women inquired about the delicacies in Liu Meiren's hometown, and then asked...His Royal Highness King Qin to help buy them from outside the palace." After Zhi Zhi's voice fell, the little hand hidden under the water sleeve squeezed Ye Wuming's hand.

The sudden intimacy made Ye Wuming's body stiff.

Just when the unspoken hand was about to leave, Ye Wuming directly held her little hand behind his back and rubbed it in the palm of his hand.

He understood what he meant, and wanted him to help him lie, thinking that the shortbread must have been cheated from Yue Hehuan.

Ye Wuming hurriedly said, "That's right, I ordered someone to buy it."

Concubine Yue Gui smiled inexplicably, as if she didn't care about Yue Hehuan's loss in the competition.

Concubine Yue Gui said: "Okay, sister queen, you can announce the result now. This girl is very smart, and my concubine likes it very much."

The empress has dealt with Concubine Yue for so many years, and she still has a little understanding of Concubine Yue's temper. Right now, Concubine Yue's half-smile expression makes the Empress a little uneasy.

But no matter how uneasy, the result is already in front of you, and it will always be announced.

The empress said: "Then I announce that in the third competition, I will win the third competition. According to the previous agreement, I will personally grant the marriage to King Qin..."

"Ah!" Before the Empress finished speaking, a scream broke the tranquility of Qianqiu Palace.

Everyone looked around, only to see Liu Meiren clutching her stomach in pain and falling to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Qing Lian quickly reached out to help her, but she was pulled down by Liu Meiren.

"Ugh...it hurts...it hurts...poof!" Meiren Liu knelt on the ground and struggled a few times, then suddenly wowed and spat out a big mouthful of black blood.

Ah!
The crowd was in an uproar!

Shocked!

"What's the matter?!" Emperor Kang Wu couldn't help standing up, but the empress grabbed his arm.

The empress shook her head at Emperor Kangwu, this beauty Liu did not know what was wrong, it was too dangerous to get close now.

Emperor Kangwu understood the queen's kindness, so he didn't go any further, but said, "Tell the imperial physician!"

The little eunuch who passed on the imperial physician here hadn't walked out of the gate of the Qianqiu Palace when Shangguan Ling'er's voice sounded over there: "Your Majesty, there is no need to pass on the imperial physician anymore. Beauty Liu is already dead!"

what?
died?

How did he die? !

Everyone looked at Shangguan Ling'er, and found her squatting beside Liu Meiren, pressing her carotid artery, confirming her death!
Shangguan Ling'er stood up, looked at the emperor and empress, and repeated: "Your Majesty, Miss Liu is dead, she died of poisoning!"
