General doctor's wife

Chapter 370 Palace Banquet ([-])

When everyone heard this, they all got up and bowed towards the door.

Emperor Shunchang leaned obediently in the arms of Cheng Engong, and let him carry him into the hall.

After everyone bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Emperor Shunchang, Duke Cheng En handed Emperor Shunchang over to Fu Jia, and he himself made another salute before getting up.

"Your Majesty is still young, so I will preside over this grand ceremony on your Majesty's behalf."

Cheng Engong stood in front of the hall, beside Princess Fujia who was holding Emperor Shunchang.

Yu Gong and Cheng Engong are one of the regents appointed by the first emperor, and they are highly respected in the court.

In private, Cheng Engong is the uncle of Emperor Shunchang's direct relatives, and Cheng Engong presided over the grand ceremony, and there was no objection in everyone's mind.

On the contrary, there were a few quick-witted ones, their eyes turned around Cheng'en Palace and Lu Chengan several times, they didn't know what they were thinking.

This palace banquet is simple and simple, but complicated and complicated.

However, due to the fact that Emperor Shunchang was young, he couldn't sit still in the hall at all.After all the ministers toasted him with a glass of wine, and Princess Fujia symbolically measured the wine on Emperor Shunchang's lips, Emperor Shunchang was taken down by the nanny to rest.

Since the first emperor and the first empress passed away only half a year ago, there will be no singing and dancing performances at the banquets in the palace.

Everyone just ate and chatted.

And taking advantage of today's day when all the royal family and nobles in the court gather, some ministers who are good at making money have already started to make friends with other people.

Sitting in the main hall, Qin Ranran watched these people scrambling left and right, and looked at the cold dishes in front of her, without any desire to eat.

Ahan looked at her with an impatient look on his face, and comforted him in a low voice: "Be patient a little longer, I'll make Poria chicken soup for you when you go back."

Qin Ranran smiled at her and nodded, "That's fine."

Ahan didn't want to make too intimate actions with Qin Ranran in these public places, so as not to arouse people's imagination, so he just smiled and said, "When did I ever lie to you?"

The two were talking when they saw a palace maid walking in with a soup cup.

"Madame Zhen Guo, this is a body-replenishing soup specially made by the kitchen for you."

The palace lady reached out and opened the lid of the soup cup, and saw the milky white soup filled in the soup cup that bloomed like a lotus flower. The bursts of heat rose up, bringing out a strong aroma, which made the gluttons in people's stomachs move. .

Qin Ranran was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Who told you to do this?"

The palace maid lowered her head, as if she was very nervous, not daring to look up at her.

"The servant doesn't know either. The servant just delivered this soup cup to Mrs. Zhen Guogong under the order of Eunuch Liu."

Qin Ranran smelled the aroma too strong and didn't want to drink it, so she nodded to signal her to put the soup cup on the table.

Seeing that Qin Ranran didn't do anything, the maid seemed to muster up her courage and said, "Madam Zhen Guo, let's drink while it's hot. I'm too tired today, so you should make up for it."

Listening to her words, Qin Ranran felt that the palace was very considerate, so she picked up the spoon with a smile.

Who knew that just as she picked up the spoon, she was knocked to the ground by Ahan.

The crisp sound of the spoon touching the ground did not spread very far, only a few officials and women nearby heard it, and they all cast their gazes over with deep doubts.

And the maid's face was a little pale, and her fingers were trembling slightly, as if she was getting more nervous.

"Ah Jiu, you invited Eunuch Liu over here, I want to see if this bowl of poisonous soup was sent by Eunuch Liu?"

After hearing Ahan's words, the court lady's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Mrs. Cheng En's face showed a cold look, and Fu Jia was even more annoyed.

On the spot, she signaled Lu Jiu to take down the maid.

But Fu Jia turned her head quickly, and told the little maid beside her to tell Master Zhang to send someone to take good care of His Majesty.

The maid was trembling violently, and she was still muttering: "Impossible, it's impossible for someone to smell this medicine."

Ah Leng smiled coldly: "There is no poison in this world that I don't know."

Qin Ranran's originally gentle face also slowly turned cold.

She watched Lu Jiu hurried over with Liu Hai, clapped her hands slowly, straightened the wrinkles on her body, and then stood up to look at Liu Hai.

"Eunuch Liu, did you ask him to come and deliver the soup?"

Eunuch Liu didn't even look at the maid, and shook his head on the spot: "This old slave didn't send anyone over today to deliver anything to Mrs. Zhen Guo."

When Lu Jiu heard this, he became angry on the spot.

After a few steps forward, one of the maid's arms was removed.

"Who the hell sent you here?"

This method was too straightforward, which shocked the female relatives of the surrounding families.

They seemed to have never seen such a scene before, and their complexions were a little pale.

The palace maid was so painful that beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she still didn't say a word, she just sat there with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Ningxiang, take her down to Aunt Banqiu."

There wasn't much movement here, and before everyone's attention shifted, Ning Xiang had angrily led someone to drag the maid out.

Fu Jia looked at the few female family members around, and said with a very gloomy expression: "Please don't tell this matter, so as not to startle the snake."

While talking, she remembered the appearance of several people in her heart.

The female family members looked at Lu Jiu's methods and nodded with lingering fear, for fear that those blows would fall on themselves.

Although Mrs. Zhen Guogong should not treat them like this, but Princess Fujia is not sure.

In Shangjing, who doesn't know that the only people that Princess Fujia protects like eyeballs are her own family and Mrs. Zhen Guogong.

At the palace banquet, all the ministers were still drinking and staggering.

But the atmosphere on Princess Fujia's side was very cold.

She looked at everyone, as if she wanted to freeze everyone directly.

"Ran Ran, don't worry, this matter happened in the palace, I will definitely find out and give you an explanation."

Qin Ranran nodded at Fu Jia: "Don't be too impatient, Aunt Han and Lu Jiu on my side can still protect me, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, it's important that you take care of His Majesty first .”

As early as when Lu Jiu went to invite Eunuch Liu, he told Lu Chengan that he had asked Lu Shi at this time.

While the few people were talking, Lu Chengan hurried in.

He stood beside the pillar not far away, and nodded to Fu Jia.

Seeing him coming, Qin Ranran hurriedly got up and walked over while helping Lu Jiu's hand.

"Why are you here? Isn't it busy ahead?"

"Where is the maid, what happened?"

Lu Chengan's eyes were a little red, showing a chilling intent.

"Still investigating, the maid refused to say anything, and has already handed it over to Auntie Wanqiu."

Qin Ranran reached out and squeezed his fingers.

Lu Chengan nodded: "I asked Lu Shi to help him, but I don't believe it anymore, and my hidden guards can't pry open his mouth."

　Second watch, good night everyone!
