Chengfu Palace.
"Pfft..."
The sound of breaking porcelain came from the palace one after another, and the maids outside the palace were all trembling with fear. The maid outside the palace even knelt on the ground.
Yan Shengyuan walked into Chengfu Palace and frowned at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
"Go east."
As if they had been pardoned, the maids immediately bowed and retreated eastward.
Seeing Yan Shengyuan, Shen Qingdai threw the golden peacock in her leg to the ground.
Yan Shengyuan walked to Shen Qingdai, bent down to pick up the golden peacock, and placed it on the table again.
"Why should my mother be angry at those two unrelated people?"
"Hmph..." Shen Qingdai walked back to her seat angrily, with a look of disdain on her face, "Those two short-lived ghosts deserve to make me angry."
Yan Shengyuan frowned, "Then why?"
"I am very sorry for my father. I just saw it. That scoundrel said such treacherous words, but he didn't even rebuke him. He even spoke out to defend him."
Speaking of what happened just now, Shen Qingdai became angry and raised her leg to wave the golden peacock to the ground again.
Yan Shengyuan was slightly stunned and said, "Mother, do you mean it? My father's attitude towards me has changed."
If that's true, that's not a good sign.
"Is it still difficult for me to see Hong?"
Shen Qingdai's lips curved into a sneer, "Did I really think he hated that scoundrel, so that's why I kept giving him the cold shoulder?"
Yan Shengyuan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it true?"
Didn’t the father hate Lao Liu because he killed the late Queen as soon as Lao Liu was born
In those years, my father never gave the sixth brother a good look, and he never said bad words every time. From childhood to adulthood, the six brothers had things that the sixth brother did not have.
My father never deterred or clarified the rumors that were unfavorable to Lao Liu, and allowed them to fly everywhere.
Whether it was in the palace or outside the palace, Lao Liu always lived the farthest and most remote place. Even in the most requested morning court, my father did not allow Lao Liu to participate, and none of the ministers in the court had anything to do with Lao Liu.
Such indifferent treatment is disgusting, if not hateful.
Shen Qingdai snorted coldly, her eyes full of jealousy, "I'm afraid that it will be an illusion if I treat him coldly."
She should have figured it out a long time ago, if he was so cruel to that woman, how could Keke really be willing to treat her child so harshly that she risked her life for the sake of others.
If he really didn't love him, how could that bastard live to be fifteen safely? She was the only one who wanted him dead.
Alienation is sometimes not cruel, but too cruel. Although she has never wanted to admit it, it is not the truth.
She still can't forget the pain and remorse on Yan Qingxuan's face when the imperial doctor announced that he could no longer stand on his legs.
"Does the queen mother mean that the father has been acting all those years?" Yan Shengyuan was startled by Shen Qingdai's words and broke into a cold sweat.
If that's true, then what they planned before would be ruined.
"Why are you panicking?" Looking at the panicked Yan Shengyuan, Shen Qingdai shouted coldly, "So what if he doesn't act? Don't forget Yan Qingxuan back then."
Since she could unknowingly turn Yan Qingxuan from a genius into a useless waste, she could also unknowingly crush Yan Mosang to death.
Yan Qingxuan…
Yan Shengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The two of them talked for a few words, and Yan Shengyuan called the maid to clean up the mess on the floor.
Just as the maid finished cleaning, the eunuch came to deliver a message.
"The Emperor has decreed that the Queen, Prince Gan Diandong and Princess Gan go to Qingzhen Pavilion to have a meal together."
Yan Shengyuan nodded and dismissed the eunuch who was delivering the message.
"Where's Yue'er?"
Shen Qingdai remembered Ji Qiuyue only after being reminded by the eunuch who sent the message.
"She's not feeling well. She's going back to the palace first." Yan Shengyuan lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience.
"Are you not feeling well? Weren't you fine just now?"
Shen Qingdai frowned, with a look of resentment on her face, "I guess he is angry with that scoundrel. Let's wait until Dr. Dong Rang Zhong goes to the palace to have a look. Don't really get sick from anger."
Shen Qingdai was very satisfied with Ji Qiuyue's daughter-in-law.
"Okay." Yan Shengyuan immediately nodded in response.
Qingzhen Pavilion.
When Yan Moshang and Liang Sheng arrived, everyone else was already here, except Princess Gan Ji Qiuyue.
"Father."
The four of them walked up to Yan Aotian and bowed.
"No gift."
Seeing the four people walking hand in hand, Yan Aotian nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that the four people did not take her seriously at all, a trace of resentment flashed in Shen Qingdai's eyes again.
"Shui Ruoyan, I'm so brave, I dare to let the emperor wait for me to have dinner."
Yan Aotian and his son frowned at the same time, and Liang Sheng also raised her eyes and looked at Shen Qingdai coldly.
She doesn't like to keep her mouth shut, but she can't be provoked by anyone. It's best for that woman not to touch her bottom line.
"No problem, let's go east for dinner."
Yan Aotian glanced at Shen Qingdai coldly, his eyes full of warning.
Shen Qingdai's face darkened instantly, and she was so angry that she wanted to spit blood, but she couldn't do it.
After Yan Aotian moved his chopsticks, everyone ate in silence.
Liang Sheng was also very obedient and ate the dishes Yan Mosang gave her. Occasionally, she would add one or two of her favorite dishes to Yan Mosang.
As for the dishes served by Liang Sheng, Yan Moshang couldn't bear to eat them all.
Yan Aotian was very pleased to see the two people's affectionate looks.
"Next year's Yuan Festival, Lao Liu and Lao Liu's wife will also come together."
Yan Mosang's legs holding the chopsticks paused. He raised his eyes and wanted to refuse, but was shocked by the majesty in Yan Aotian's eyes.
"Um."
Even though he was extremely unhappy, Yan Mopan agreed to Donglai's request.
Shen Qingdai had a cold face, and the silver chopsticks in her legs were almost broken.
Looking at Shen Qingdai with a livid face, Concubine Li smiled sweetly and said, "The emperor is wrong. Festivals are naturally crowded and lively. What's more, the Sixth Princess is so beautiful and is a pleasure to look at."
This sentence amused Yan Aotian.
"Concubine Li really wins my heart." Yan Aotian said as if he was praising her, he put a piece of shrimp on Concubine Li's plate.
"Thank you Emperor for being here."
Li Fei smiled delicately and picked up the shrimps, then glanced at Shen Qingdai provocatively, and finally ate the shrimps as if they were a delicious delicacy.
Concubine Li's provocative look instantly made Shen Qingdai furious. She squeezed the silver chopsticks in her legs tightly, and the tightness in her chest almost drove her crazy.
If Yan Aotian hadn't been there, the silver chopsticks in her legs would have flown into Concubine Li's face.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the suffocation in Dong's heart, he turned his eyes and glanced at Shu Cui, the eldest maid behind him.
Shucui understood immediately and quietly retreated to the east. Soon, a palace maid brought tea, and the room was filled with the aroma of tea.
Liang Sheng smelled the fresh fragrance of tea and frowned imperceptibly.
Not noticing anything strange about Liang Sheng, Yan Moshang picked up the tea cup.
Seeing Yan Moshang holding up the tea cup, Shen Qingdai's lips curved into a strange smile.
Liang Sheng's expression changed drastically, and without thinking, she stretched out her leg and knocked the tea cup out of Yan Mosang's leg.
With a "pop" sound, the tea cup fell to the ground and broke.
Everyone was confused by Liang Sheng's sudden move, and Yan Moshang narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at the broken tea cup.
"Shui Ruoyan, what am I doing? The Emperor is in front of you, how can you allow me to act so recklessly?"
Shen Qingdai pointed at Liang Sheng, trembling with anger.
Damn it, I almost succeeded, but not because of that woman.
Facing Shen Qingdai's shouting, Liang Sheng showed no expression and didn't even glance at her. He looked straight at Yan Moshang with a pair of watery eyes.
Seeing the full trust in Yan Moshang's eyes, the corners of Liang Sheng's lips raised slightly.
She doesn't need to care about anyone's opinion except Ayan.
Watching the interaction between the two, Yan Aotian's eyes deepened, "The sixth daughter-in-law explained to me what I just did."
Liang Sheng looked at Yan Mosang and then at Yan Aotian, her eyes flickering, "That tea is poisonous."
"What… "
"Toxic..."
As soon as Liang Sheng said this, everyone who had just drank Dongcha water screamed with horror on their faces.
Although Yan Aotian was quite calm and he drank the tea, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"Don't mislead the public with your lies. Everyone drank the tea. How could it be poisonous?"
Shen Qingdai glared at Liang Sheng resentfully, and her sharp voice echoed throughout Qingzhen Pavilion.
"Whether it's poisonous or not, you'll know after testing."
Compared with Shen Qingdai's impatience, Liang Sheng was much calmer.
"Okay, then I'll ask the imperial doctor. If the tea is not poisonous, I can ask you to cure me of my sin of being unreasonable."
A bloodthirsty sneer appeared on Shen Qingdai's lips, and she begged to see how she would end up.
Facing Shen Qingdai's aggressiveness, Liang Sheng smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to go to the trouble of asking for an imperial doctor, just catch the cat."
How could those imperial doctors detect colorless and odorless poison
Shen Qingdai's face froze with a sneer, and her heart started to panic.
Yan Aotian narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Eunuch Li."
"No." Eunuch Li agreed and immediately bowed and left.
When Yan Aotian gave the order, Shen Qingdai had already calmed down and secretly signaled Shu Cui with her eyes.
Understanding Shen Qingdai's meaning, Shu Cui quietly exited Qingzhen Pavilion.
Soon, a pure red Persian cat was brought in.
Liang Sheng put the fish meat with chopsticks into the broken teacup. The Persian cat immediately ran over and ate it with relish.
I didn't even finish a piece of fish, so I fell to the ground with frothing at the mouth.
"It's really toxic."
Everyone was shocked when they saw that scene.
Yan Aotian was so angry that he slammed the table and said angrily, "Are you really so audacious that you dare to poison me in front of me and bring all the maids who just served tea to me? I want to interrogate you personally."
So many people have no problem drinking tea, but there is a problem with Lao Liu's tea alone.
Even if he does that, there will be people who are unwilling to let him go. If he doesn't let his wife go tomorrow, that cup of poisonous tea will go away, and then won't Lao Liu...
If that was not the case, how could he have the dignity to go east to see Qingjiu in the future
Seeing Yan Aotian being so angry, everyone didn't dare to express their anger, and they all stood aside quietly.
Not long after Eunuch Li left, he hurried in again.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. All the maids who were at tea just now have been poisoned and died."
"Pa..." Yan Aotian stretched out a palm suddenly, and the table was directly shattered. "Check it out for me. Please let me figure it out no matter what."
