Chapter 281 Shen Zhinian Watches the Emperor Act
Liu Changzai was the Changzai and Jiang Wange was the concubine, and their seats were originally far apart.
But she caught the eye of Concubine Wen, and no one else dared to say anything. In order to please Concubine Wen, the palace servants even moved her stool next to Concubine Wen.
This resulted in half of the black blood spurted out by Liu Changzai splashing onto Jiang Wange!
"what--!!!"
Jiang Wange had never seen such a scene before and was immediately shocked!
Not only her, but everyone in the hall was shocked by this sudden change!
Li Changde immediately stood in front of the emperor and said, "Someone has poisoned me!!! Come, protect me!!!"
The imperial guards filed in and protected the emperor and the ladies behind them.
Many people were so scared that they dropped their chopsticks and looked at the hot pot in front of them with horror, fearing that they would be poisoned like Liu Changzai.
Nangong Xuanyu has reached this position because he has no idea how many times he has encountered assassinations and poisonings, but he still remains calm.
But someone dared to blatantly poison the palace concubine right under his nose, which was simply touching the emperor's reverse scale!
He subconsciously looked at Shen Zhinian, and when he saw that she was protected by guards and palace servants, he withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Summon the Imperial Doctor!"
In order to deal with unexpected events, there would be an imperial physician waiting in the side hall from the beginning to the end of every palace banquet.
Upon receiving the news, the imperial physician rushed over immediately to check on Concubine Liu's condition.
Soon, he withdrew his fingers and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu... has been poisoned to death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
"Who, who is so bold?!"
"Every dish at the palace banquet has to go through layers of inspection before being served. How could someone poison it?!"
"To put it bluntly, it's fortunate that only one of the concubines was poisoned to death. If your majesty's dragon body was injured, the consequences would be disastrous!"
"..."
There was also a flash of surprise in Shen Zhinian's eyes, and he was also curious about who was so brave.
But what made her even more puzzled was what was the other party's purpose in doing this?
The murderer should have targeted a favorite concubine or a high-ranking official. Concubine Liu's family background was not prominent and she was not favored, so why did the murderer go to such great lengths to poison her?
But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Zhinian had a rough guess in his mind...
Concubine Liu suddenly stood up from her chair, her face gloomy enough to drip water: "What on earth is going on?!"
Of course, she didn't care about Liu Changzai, but she was in charge of the six palaces, and she was the main person in charge of any banquet held in the palace.
After being confined for so long, Concubine Liu's prestige in the harem has declined. After being released, the first banquet she organized must be beautiful so that she can win back her face.
Which bitch caused trouble at the celebration party tonight? !
Li Changde has personally led people to investigate.
Liu Changzai was poisoned by the meat in the hot pot. The officials and concubines of Duke Dingguo's Mansion had been humiliated for so long tonight, so how could they let go of such a great opportunity?
"Your Majesty, the hot pot developed by Concubine Wen is poisonous. She deserves death!"
"I have always thought this way of eating is extremely strange, but because of His Majesty's fondness for Concubine Wen, I did not dare to speak out. I did not expect her fox tail to be exposed so soon!"
"In my opinion, maybe Concubine Wen originally wanted to poison Your Majesty, but she didn't find the opportunity, so she accidentally poisoned Concubine Liu to death!"
"For the safety of your majesty and all the ladies, I suggest that we first control Concubine Wen to prevent her from doing anything that could endanger us!"
"..."
Jiang Wange was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling: "You are talking nonsense! If I did this, why are so many people eating hot pot fine, and only Liu Changzai was poisoned and died?!"
"I was frightened by her, so I am the biggest victim, okay!"
The Duke of Zhenguo stood up and glanced coldly at those who had just spoken, his tone arrogant and domineering: "Anyone who dares to question Concubine Wen is going to make trouble for me and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
Everyone was angered by his domineering attitude, but the Duke of Zhenguo had been powerful in the court for a long time, so these people dared not speak out.
The Duke of Zhenguo snorted coldly and looked at the emperor. Although his tone was respectful, it still revealed a hint of arrogance: "Your Majesty, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Concubine Wen!"
"Your Majesty loves Concubine Wen so much, I'm sure you won't believe these nonsense, right?"
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes darkened, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. But these emotions were fleeting and he hid them well.
He looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with a very gentle look, giving people a feeling of loving the whole family: "Concubine Wen has a kind heart, and her sincerity to me is evident to all the world! Of course I believe that she will not harm the concubines in the palace, let alone do anything that is detrimental to me."
"Before the truth is investigated, if anyone dares to throw dirty water on Concubine Wen again, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those who had questioned Jiang Wange were silent for a moment.
But the emperor could control their mouths, but not their thoughts. At this moment, whether it was the court officials or the imperial concubines, their disgust for Jiang Wange reached its peak!
It was this enchanting concubine who bewitched His Majesty and made His Majesty favor her without any discrimination! If this continues, what will happen? !
Originally, everyone thought that hot pot was a novel way to eat and tasted great. But after this incident, even if people didn't dare to say anything, they looked at hot pot as if it were a monster.
Shen Zhinian used a lot of effort to restrain himself from laughing out loud.
Without knowing it, she would think the same as everyone else. But her memories from her previous life had made her aware of the truth. At this moment, watching Nangong Xuanyu acting, she always found it a little funny.
Concubine Liu clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, and her nails, which she had carefully maintained for a long time, were broken by this great force.
Her fingers were covered in blood, but to her, it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart...
His Majesty's preference and unconditional trust are what she has been seeking for all these years.
That bitch Jiang Wange got it so easily just by standing there and doing nothing!
How could she accept this?! How could she accept this?!
Her heart really hurts...
Concubine Liu had never looked at anyone with such a resentful look. She wished she could skin Jiang Wange alive!
Jiang Wange naturally felt Concubine Liu's gaze, but those who are favored are fearless.
It is His Majesty who loves her. What’s the point of Concubine Liu being jealous?
Her heart was filled with emotion. She looked at the emperor and said shyly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"
"These things have nothing to do with me. Your Majesty and I are waiting together for the moment when the truth is revealed!"
