"Wait a minute." Before Empress Dowager Guo could speak, Sun Shilang had already taken over. He was also an old man in the court and had no hope of promotion, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to watch people's words.
Xie Wanyu was enjoying herself when she saw a palace maid with twinkling eyes filling Xie Wanyu with wine.
She had been waiting for this moment, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Tai Shuyi also stood up, obviously not wanting the emperor to grant a marriage under such circumstances. Not to mention whether he was willing or not, judging from the expression on Queen Mother Guo's face, if the marriage was really granted, she would probably have to give it to Sun Mo. Anything that brings unnecessary trouble.
Xie Wanyu picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly. In any case, Tai Shuqiu was a good person, so she should just repay him for his help. When she looked up, she met Taishuqi's eyes.
She never expected that Tai Shuqi would look at her at this time.
So the smile on her face didn't have time to subside.
There was a rare hint of confusion on Tai Shuyi's handsome face.
Xie Wanyu raised her wine glass to Tai Shuqi, and then took a demure sip.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was already very subtle, but Tai Shuqi didn't know what Xie Wanyu's expression meant.
But soon, he understood.
Xie Wanyu suddenly covered her chest. The severe pain caused her to spill the delicacies in front of her. The sound of the porcelain falling to the ground was very clear, which instantly attracted the attention of the whole audience.
Xiao Jing, who was beside her, didn't notice Xie Wanyu's pain at all. Instead, he frowned and felt that she was very embarrassed, and turned away in disgust.
Xie Wanyu couldn't bear it any longer and spit out a mouthful of blood, causing everyone to burst into an uproar.
The dignified Marquise vomited blood in public, which made people sigh.
Even Princess Lingyun, who was secretly proud, stood up and looked at all this in disbelief, repeating in her mouth, "How is it possible? How is it possible?"
Falling to the ground, Xie Wanyu smiled.
In her previous life, in order to avenge Xue Xuening, Princess Lingyun put a drug in her drink that could make people lose their mind after she entered the palace. The purpose was to make her look embarrassed in public.
You must know that if a Mrs. Hou loses her sense of proportion in public, it is not as simple as losing face.
A big family with strict etiquette and laws is completely willing to sacrifice a woman's life for the sake of face.
Xie Wanyu was also very lucky. When the medicine took effect, she was rescued secretly. She could not remember the characteristics of that person, but vaguely remembered that she accidentally tore off the man's shirt, and there was a piece on his chest that looked like a plum blossom. like mark.
If they meet in this life, she will definitely repay the kindness from her previous life.
After she thought of this, her eyes felt dark.
"Quick, send the message to the imperial doctor." It was Queen Mother Guo who was the first to react.
Everyone was overly surprised and only now they came back to their senses. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was in charge of the overall situation, "Someone, please carry Mrs. Hou to the wing next door."
Before anyone could make a move, the imperial doctor had already arrived.
Because several imperial doctors were also invited and were at the table, it was much faster to come over.
Among them, the old imperial doctor was the judge of the imperial hospital. After feeling his pulse, he couldn't help but take two steps back in surprise.
"What's going on? Why don't you tell me quickly?" Tai Shuqi frowned in a rare way, and the doctor hurriedly knelt down on the ground.
The emperor looked a little ugly when he saw such a scene.
"To the King of Qin, to the Emperor, Madam Hou was poisoned by a strange chronic poison, and, and... she was also given a sterilizing drug, which makes it almost impossible for her to become pregnant in this life." The imperial doctor struggled to finish the sentence.
It is really disappointing that Mrs. Hou, who has a glamorous appearance, could be poisoned like this.
Everyone present heard this result. Mr. Xie almost couldn't stand still. How could his daughter end up like this?
Looking at Xiao Jing again, he stood far away with his hands behind his back, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and there was disdain in his eyes.
Even an unrelated person would look sympathetically at Xie Wanyu.
And Xiao Jing seemed to be eager to cut off her relationship with Xie Wanyu.
"Check! Check thoroughly!" The emperor was furious.
If something like this happens at a royal banquet and the reason cannot be found out, will the royal family still lose face?
The Queen Mother frowned, "Hurry up and take Mrs. Hou down for treatment."
Now the banquet cannot go on, but no one can leave the palace, because everyone here is suspected, and everyone is so frightened that they don't even dare to drink the wine in front of them.
Princess Lingyun sat slumped in her seat, staring blankly ahead.
"Princess, what should I do?" The little maid who poured wine for Xie Wanyu stood beside her and said at a loss.
"Why are you panicking?" Princess Lingyun said coldly, "It's not like we administered some strange poison or some killer medicine. Besides, there is an emperor here. How can a mere prince's mansion eat me?"
Although she was panicking, she looked very calm on the surface.
The maid beside her also calmed down.
After all, the people in charge of the world are partial to her master, so what does she have to fear?
Tai Shuqi sat in his seat with his brows furrowed. Only now did he understand what was going on with Xie Wanyu's smile, but he understood it too late.
He also couldn't figure out how a smart woman like Xie Wanyu could be poisoned by these poisons.
On the other hand, Xiao Jing still looked like an old god, as if he had nothing to do with Xie Wanyu.
Tai Shuyi's eyes were deep.
Xiao Jing looked at the delicacies in front of her and couldn't help but pick up a piece. After all, he wasn't full yet.
At this moment, someone's bowl hit him directly on the head, causing his chopsticks to fall and his forehead to become red and swollen instantly.
Xiao Jing was extremely angry. She looked at the Queen Mother and the Emperor who were sitting in the high position. She didn't get angry. She just glanced around with a pair of eyes gloomily, but she didn't find who did it, so she could only admit that she was unlucky.
After a while, Tai Shuqi stood up and said, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate this matter personally. After all, this is about the royal family's face."
Because Tai Shuqi had never participated in fights with courtiers, he had never taken a side. Logically speaking, he would not care about such matters, so everyone was surprised when they heard that he wanted to intervene.
Taifu Xie was also a little confused.
After careful consideration, the emperor made the right decision, because if Tai Shuqi intervened, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
After getting the emperor's nod, Tai Shuqi took Song Fuli to investigate one by one. When she found Princess Lingyun, she was nervous for no reason.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, nor does it have anything to do with the people around me. We have been drinking and have no idea what happened." Princess Lingyun did not dare to look directly into Tai Shuqi's eyes.
The little maid was even avoiding her eyes and was at a loss what to do.
Tai Shuqi didn't say anything, but Song Fuli said, "Someone saw your person pouring wine for Mrs. Hou."
"Whoever saw it, come to me and tell me if you have the ability!"
