If he wanted to stand on Yan Qinao's side, he couldn't make enemies with him. No matter whether he cared about Shi Fenglan or not, he couldn't let him know that this matter was done by the Meng family, so Meng Xunji chose to protect himself.

Because of his words, officials from the Meng family spoke up one after another.

"Yes, yes, since there is nothing wrong with the food, the poison must have been put somewhere else."

"Yes, this is the Queen's birthday banquet. The villains are so bold and have no idea what they are doing."

"Your Majesty, you'd better search carefully. If the reading material is still there, it would be bad if it hurts the Queen."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yan's expression became fierce.

The protagonist of this banquet was Meng Zirou, so a large-scale search would inevitably spoil the fun. He was just pretending to do this, and he didn't really want to find the person.

But if Meng Zirou and the baby in her belly were really hurt due to negligence, that would be bad. And there was no guarantee that this matter was not directed at Meng Zirou.

After realizing the importance of each matter, Emperor Yan's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Check, check everything that Princess Xian has touched for me."

This time, things became a little out of control.

Meng Xunji glanced at Qingyun inconspicuously. He found that she was looking at him with a smile on her face. Her expression was more relaxed than his. She even made a face at him when he looked at her. Her plump and rosy red lips moved.

Meng Xunji read her lip movements and found that she said "old thing". He was so angry that his face turned blue and he turned his head away, no longer looking at Qingyun.

But what I was thinking in my heart was: You silly girl, just sit still now, or you’ll be in trouble.

Seeing that Meng Xunji ignored her, Qingyun lost interest. She glanced at Yan Qinao, whose face was as cold as ice. Qingyun sneered, and even looked at his face, which looked a little ugly.

Yan Siyuan handed the replaced sachet to Qingyun, followed her gaze to glance at Yan Qinao, and whispered: "He may not have noticed the problem with the sachet."

Qingyun looked at Yan Siyuan and said, "I never felt that he could see anything, and it's not because I was disappointed in him because of this incident. It's because when the princess was in trouble, he had a blank expression and was indifferent."

Yan Siyuan pursed his lips and said, "Now is not the time for him to be exposed."

Qingyun curled her lips and sneered, "I know, it's not necessary, I understand."

After saying this, he ignored Yan Siyuan.

Of course she knew the situation at that time. If Yan Qinao wanted to help Shi Fenglan, he had to stand up.

Because Shi Fenglan couldn't control herself at that time. Although she was still closest to Yan Qinao, she also needed Yan Qinao to stand up.

Once he does this, not only Emperor Yan, but everyone's attention will be on him.

Emperor Yan would not allow Yan Qinao to ascend the throne. He had always favored Yan Siyuan, and everything he did was just to pave the way for Yan Siyuan. Whether Yan Siyuan was willing or not, Emperor Yan would push him to the highest position.

Therefore, when Yan Qinao is able to confront Yan Siyuan, he will definitely suppress and stop him. Then everything they have done will be in vain.

I understand, I comprehension, but Qingyun's unhappiness is real.

Even if the culprit was found, the biggest joke would be Shi Fenglan. Her reputation had vanished at that moment.

Qingyun's eyes darkened and she didn't dare to think any further.

The imperial guards who were searching had checked everything Shi Fenglan had touched, but still could not find anything wrong. Emperor Yan lowered his head, thinking about something, and the people below him were whispering to each other.

"Why search anymore? Maybe she's just being horny and thinking about it."

"You know what, looking at Shi Fenglan's coquettish look just now, it is really possible that she did it on purpose."

"Yes, look at the little devil beside the virtuous king. She seduces the virtuous king to keep her by his side every day. Maybe Shi Fenglan wants to replace the virtuous king in order to take revenge on him."

"Who said she wasn't? She's just a concubine, and she's so shameless to come and attend the Queen's birthday banquet."

"It is also possible that she framed it. Think about it, if the princess is gone, then she will be the princess."

"Well, now that you mention it, this is indeed possible. Your Majesty, why don't you search her as well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ladies and girls in the area covered their lips and laughed softly. From time to time, they cast contemptuous eyes at Murong Yao, as if they were watching a joke.

Everyone knows that the imperial guards are all men, and asking them to search Murong Yao is no different from asking for Murong Yao's innocence.

They were not really standing up for Shi Fenglan, but they were just jealous of the beautiful girls in the family and did not like the concubine.

What's more, the fact that Yan Qinao doted on Murong Yao like the apple of his eye made them look down on Murong Yao.

Emperor Yan didn't even take Yan Qinao seriously and let him live alone. How could these ladies, who represented their respective husbands' families, look up to Yan Qinao, a nominal prince?

The hall was spacious, and they did not try to avoid people when they spoke, so their voices naturally reached everyone's ears.

Qin Ao's eyes were cold, and his deep pupils were filled with murderous intent. He was like a hibernating poisonous snake that could kill someone as soon as it opened its eyes.

When those women met Yan Qinao's gaze, they shut their mouths unnaturally, and some of them dared not look at him again out of guilt.

Murong Yao clenched her hands tightly, her long nails digging into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain and her face was cold.

She wanted to retort, but her mind told her that now was not the time to retort. She could only stare at those people like a stubborn little beast.

Qingyun raised her eyes and snorted coldly. The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was accurately heard by everyone.

Those who were talking gradually became quiet, and they finally realized a problem.

The virtuous princess and Qingyun are on good terms, so the virtuous princess and Qingyun are on good terms, but I don't know Qingyun's attitude towards Murong Yao. If it's not good, they might be able to take credit for what they said, but if Qingyun and Murong Yao are also on good terms, then they......

Everyone looked at each other, but they were more determined in their first idea. After all, the incident between Murong Yao and Yan Siyuan was known to everyone, and Qingyun was not feeling well at that time, and the culprit was Murong Yao.

Qingyun didn't care what they thought, but when she glanced at them with smiling eyes, those people trembled visibly.

Qingyun sneered again, "With such little courage, you dare to discuss the family affairs of the current prince. It is really because His Majesty is too kind. You have grown bolder and forgotten your own status!"

As Qingyun slowly uttered the words, the group of people who were watching the joke just now turned pale.

"Princess, your words are too kind. I just like to express my feelings and have no ill intentions."
