She winked at the maids, and the maids respectfully withdrew, just as the third lady was about to leave as well.
"Madam, please stay." The prince suddenly said: "Stay and eat something together. There are so many dishes, and I and Concubine An can't finish them all."
The third lady subconsciously glanced at the dishes and the wine bottle on the table, "A commoner woman is a commoner. She knows she is not worthy of dining at the same table with His Highness and does not dare to go beyond that. The commoner woman resigned first..." Of course she couldn't drink that wine.
These food and drinks were specially prepared by her for the prince and An Xiyuan.
At this time, the prince's guard suddenly put the sword in his hand and blocked it in front of the third lady's chest, and said coldly: "You can eat what His Highness tells you to eat. Why is there so much nonsense?"
Suddenly, the third lady was so frightened that she broke into cold sweat. Only then did she feel that something was really wrong in the atmosphere.
The guard said again: "Why don't you dare to eat it? Is this food poisonous? You want to murder His Highness the Crown Prince."
At this time, the third lady's legs were already weak from fear, and she knelt down quickly: "Even if I borrow ten heads from a common woman, I would not dare to murder His Highness. There is really no poison in this food and wine..."
An Xiyuan was also frightened and knelt down again, "Your Highness, my mother will never harm Your Highness...
Nangong Rui was no longer patient with her, "If not, why doesn't your mother dare to sit down and have a meal with me and my concubine?"
"I will eat, I will eat..." The third lady kept saying in order to save her life.
She just put some medicine in the wine to promote good things for her daughter and His Highness the Crown Prince, and she would never dare to murder the Crown Prince.
The prince was her daughter's husband and her daughter's supporter. They still expected the prince to live a good life, so how could they murder the prince.
Even though the third lady felt deeply wronged, she did not dare to show it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a big bite of each dish.
An Xiyuan finally felt relieved when she saw that her mother was fine.
Nangong Rui suddenly said: "Pour Madam a glass of wine, don't choke."
The guard took the initiative and handed a full glass of wine to the third lady. The third lady neither accepted it nor accepted it. Seeing the guard's cold face and fierce look, she was so frightened that she quickly took the glass and drank it down.
The third lady now regretted having someone find the prince.
"Pour another glass for Madam. I think this wine is really good. Madam should like it very much." Nangong Rui played with the wine glass between his fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then said: "Yuan'er, you Is what I said right?"
An Xiyuan's whole body began to tremble now, and his back was wet. He nodded repeatedly: "Yes... yes... good wine."
Nangong Rui raised her mandible, looked at her face carefully, looked left and right, and said solemnly: "They do look very similar, but it's a pity that you are not her, and you will never be her. I can give you face, or I can make you lose face."
An Xiyuan was so frightened that she burst into tears. She had never known that His Highness the Crown Prince was so terrifying. In her heart, the Crown Prince had always been a gentle and elegant young man, someone she admired.
She now looks at the prince like a big devil. They are too flamboyant. She underestimates the methods of those in power. The third lady is even more pitifully stupid. She thinks that she can control everything with her self-righteous little cleverness and tricks. The hearts and minds of men.
At this time, the third lady was forced to drink the second glass of wine. She knew that if she drank any more, something would happen.
Now her face was slowly starting to turn red, and she really shot herself in the foot.
