The first sentence he spoke made the people who came here today feel a flash of surprise. The emperor actually took the initiative to explain to the queen. Does that mean that there is still a place for the queen in the emperor's heart?
It was just a sentence, but it caused a lot of speculation in everyone's mind. How could they be safe and sound at the banquet?
After the queen nodded to the emperor and sat down with the emperor, the maid who just now hurried forward again.
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the maid finished speaking, a look of displeasure flashed across Concubine Wan's face, but her expression quickly changed.
"The queen has made such thoughtful arrangements, which really makes me feel guilty. I am really not feeling well for coming so late today."
As she spoke, a blush appeared on Concubine Wan's face, and she did not forget to look at the emperor with an angry expression, which made everyone present feel a little embarrassed when they looked at this scene.
The emperor did not blame Concubine Wan, but coughed twice to signal her not to continue talking.
Only then did Concubine Wan lower her eyes and said, "I just hope that the Queen will not blame you."
Hearing this, An Ruowan's eyes fell thoughtfully on Concubine Wan. This was simply murderous.
Now, at the banquet held by the Queen, Concubine Wan was late. It was probably because the Emperor was in her palace for too long yesterday.
The emperor had already dismissed this matter, but Concubine Wan still had to hear the queen herself say that she didn't care.
Even though it was the first time she met Concubine Wan, An Ruowan felt that Concubine Wan was definitely not simple.
In front of so many people, the queen really didn't know how to speak. In the end, she could only suppress the anger in her eyes and smiled at Concubine Wan.
"Of course I don't care about this matter, as long as Sister Wan can come early next time."
Seeing the uncontrollable anger on the queen's face, Concubine Wan seemed to have achieved her goal. She leaned slightly towards the emperor and then followed the maid to her seat.
After she sat down, An Ruowan realized that Concubine Wan was opposite her, but she quickly looked away.
Despite this, An Ruowan still felt that the eyes in front of her had not moved away from her for a long time, causing her to frown unconsciously.
Sensing An Ruowan's displeasure, Gu Beichen immediately lowered his eyes and looked over.
"What happened?"
An Ruowan didn't respond, but instead looked up and looked across.
Sure enough, the two of them looked at each other, and before An Ruowan spoke, Concubine Wan smiled at her.
Looking at the scene in front of him, An Ruowan felt a chill down his back, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Just the next second, An Ruowan was about to feel something, but Concubine Wan suddenly looked away.
At this time, An Ruowan turned her eyes to Gu Beichen, "Nothing, but has the prince heard anything about Concubine Wan before?"
Without An Ruowan opening her mouth, Gu Beichen had just noticed Concubine Wan's behavior, but they had never had many close contacts with anyone in Tuoba Palace, so he really had no impression of Concubine Wan.
Before everyone could continue the discussion, everyone who was supposed to come had almost arrived, and the queen announced the start of the banquet with a wave of her hand.
As the palace ladies filed in, delicious dishes were served to everyone.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the side. The Queen seemed to have guessed who it was and immediately stood up excitedly.
"My son, I have met my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
Hearing this, the emperor also raised his head. He had only heard that Aguduo had recovered more than half, but had not been able to see it with his own eyes.
Now looking at Aguduo standing in front of him, he felt relieved and still kept looking at him.
"My son, please forgive me."
Unexpectedly, before Emperor Tuoba opened his mouth, Aguduo knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, Emperor Tuoba frowned unconsciously, as if he didn't quite understand where Aguduo's words came from.
Wang Xi on the side saw the worry in Emperor Tuoba's eyes and hurriedly took a step forward to help Aguduo up.
"No matter what happened, His Majesty is safe and sound now, which is what the Emperor wants to see most."
Hearing this, Aguduo stood up, but still said what he wanted to say.
"This time, it was because I didn't check for a while that my father and mother were worried about me."
If he hadn't said it, the emperor seemed to have almost forgotten about Aguduo's poisoning. I'm afraid there was more to it than that.
Thinking of this, Emperor Tuoba's face became a little more serious, "But who is that person that the emperor saw?"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Aguduo. After seeing him slightly nodding, many people began to guess who dared to be so bold.
"I don't know who dared to do such a thing to His Highness in the palace. He really doesn't take the Emperor seriously."
I am afraid that such words can only come from the mouth of Concubine Wan, so that the emperor will not feel disgusted.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this matter."
Seeing Tuoba Huang speak seriously, An Ruowan couldn't help but laugh out loud. After all, this was either the first time she heard such words, or she just didn't know where Tuoba Huang's explanation was.
Just when An Ruowan was still thinking about some of these things, Concubine Wan suddenly turned her eyes to the opposite side.
"Looking at my memory, I have forgotten that there are still several people from the Daqi Kingdom living in our Tuoba Palace. But this time, it is also thanks to the Princess Rong of the Daqi Kingdom. Otherwise, I don’t know if His Highness would be able to stand in front of us. Let’s talk to me here.”
After saying this with a smile, Concubine Wan smiled and picked up the teacup in front of her.
In an instant, An Ruowan, who had not said a word, suddenly became the center of attention.
Staring at the scene in front of her, the queen frowned, but did not come to An Ruowan's rescue. After all, she was also dissatisfied with An Ruowan and took this opportunity to let her vent her anger.
In this kind of atmosphere, even Lingyu standing aside noticed something was wrong. It shouldn't be like this. Today, An Ruowan came to the banquet as His Highness's savior. How could everyone...
There was no time to think about it, but Lingyu didn't know what she could do for An Ruowan, so she could only worry on the sidelines.
"Indeed, I did not expect that one day I would sit together with people from Tuoba Kingdom to attend a banquet. I would like to thank Princess Arina."
The queen didn't expect An Ruowan to say these words, which made her face suddenly darken.
"How is Arina doing?"
Now that Aguduo woke up safely, some people's mouths were blocked, but in the eyes of the queen, this was not the case. Only when Azina really woke up, An Ruowan could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Returning to the Queen, the princess's situation is different from His Highness's. I'm afraid it will take some time. Besides, this kind of thing cannot be rushed."
The queen didn't want to hear these words, so she waved her hand impatiently, not wanting to hear her continue.
