After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 17 How dare you poison the palace

The front hall is already filled with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

The three little babies were in their respective cradles, babbling and dancing.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion also took their seats, waiting for the prince and princess' instructions before they could drink to their heart's content.

Strangely, the auspicious time had arrived, but the prince and princess were nowhere to be seen.

Everyone was puzzled to find that even the Duke and his wife, who had just taken their seats, were no longer at the main table, and no one knew where they had gone.

Everyone at the table began to whisper.

At this time, Shen Yuyao, the Duke, the Duke's wife, and Prince Ning were staring at a pot of meat in the meeting room.

This is the "Assorted Black Swan" that Ling Xiangxiang just took down from the main table.

"The black swan is the most precious gift from the palace. I specially made this almost lost dish of assorted black swans and placed it on the main table."

Ling Xiangxiang was kneeling on the ground.

"Just now the princess asked me to remove it from the main table. Although I don't know why, I am sure that I personally placed this dish on the table and I also personally removed it from the table."

“No one else noticed.”

Shen Yuyao finally felt relieved, took a breath, and said softly, "Miss Ling, please stand up. Don't tell anyone else about what happened today. Go out and appease the guests. The prince and I will be there soon."

Ling Xiangxiang responded softly, bowed to everyone, and then left the meeting room.

"Daddy, mother, the prince is above..."

Shen Yuyao just explained what she had just heard from the little fairy by saying that she had a dream last night in which she dreamed that someone would poison the goose meat today.

I thought that goose meat was not included in the dishes for the banquet I had planned a few days ago, so I didn't take it seriously.

I suddenly remembered that the palace had given me some food the day before. When I went to the kitchen and asked, I found out that there was black swan meat. I was afraid that it was just as I had dreamed.

And because the ingredients came from the palace, he didn't know what to do, so he invited the Duke, the Duke's wife and the prince to this conference room to discuss.

Prince Ning hesitated for a moment, then called the eunuch outside the door:

"Please find a puppy in your house."

The eunuch replied yes, and a few minutes later he brought a puppy about two or three months old.

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

The prince caught the puppy and picked a piece of goose meat from the basin and put it in his palm, letting the puppy lick it.

The Duke and the Duchess had solemn expressions on their faces. They sat blankly on the soft chairs, watching the prince busying around, without saying a word.

In a moment, the puppy had eaten up the goose meat, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Just as the prince was about to stand up, he heard the puppy scream and then fell down dead.

At this moment, the three people who were sitting in the room, the Duke, the Duchess, and Shen Yuyao, stood up in horror.

Is this true?

Someone dared to poison Prince Ning’s Mansion!

The one who was poisoned was the Duke.

This is totally putting the Duke and Prince Ning on the fire!

Shen Yuyao didn't dare to think that if she hadn't listened to the little fairy's voice today and found the goose meat, she and everyone in the Duke's Mansion, or even Prince Ning, would be lying on the ground like this puppy now!

There are still so many people waiting in the banquet hall. How can we calm the situation and send the people from the Duke's Mansion back home as soon as possible?

Prince Ning Xia Yu didn't dare to think about it. If someone hadn't poisoned the princess in her dream and discovered in time that there was something wrong with the goose meat, then the crime of murdering the Duke today would have fallen on him, Xia Yu. What a vicious intention!

Since the ingredients came from the palace, there must be an insider in his palace. How can he escape this disaster? He has been keeping a low profile, but still encountered such a disaster. Many people want him dead, but who has the guts to kill him and the Duke?

Duke Shen Ao didn't even dare to think about it. If it weren't for his good little daughter Yaoyao's dream last night, she would have returned to her hometown today.

The food was given by the palace. Could it be the current emperor? If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they dare not not die! But now, more than a hundred people in his mansion are buried with him?

The three of them were each thinking of how to respond, and for a moment, one could hear a pin drop in the conference room.

"Master, please have this pot of meat sent to be destroyed immediately. I am really frightened when I see it!"

It was the Duchess's wife who broke the suffocating silence.

"Hmm..." Shen Ao responded, but his eyes looked at his daughter and son-in-law. After all, this was Prince Ning's Mansion, and this matter had to be handed over to someone who could be completely trusted!

Shen Yuyao understood her father's thoughts, and quickly calmed down and said to King Ning:

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this goose meat. The rest of the people in the palace are still unaware of it. Only Miss Ling knows a little bit. How about..."

"Your Highness is right. I'll trouble you to take care of this matter! I'll make a decision after discussing it with my father-in-law!"

Xia Yu's face was cold and serious.

"Father-in-law, please follow me."

"Your Majesty, please!"

Xia Yu and Shen Ao walked out of the conference room and went straight to the study.

"Mother, please follow me to the banquet hall."

Shen Yuyao supported the Duke's wife and walked into the banquet hall.

When all the guests in the hall saw the arrival of today's host, they immediately stopped whispering, stood up and bowed.

"Long live the princess, long live the Duke's wife!"

After the Duke's wife sat down at the main table, Shen Yuyao raised her head and greeted the guests with a smile:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. The Duke and the Prince were delayed by something. Now the auspicious time has arrived. Let's start the feast!"

There weren't many outsiders at today's hundred-day banquet, just the Duke's family, the royal family, and Xu Yunxuan's family.

Although everyone was confused, they all guessed that it must be a serious matter, so they all sat down and started eating.

There were more than a hundred people eating, but only a few children's voices could be heard occasionally.

Shen Yuyao had no appetite at this time. She asked Zisu to keep an eye on the little princess, and signaled Ling Xiangxiang with her eyes to walk out of the banquet hall together.

"Xiangxiang, the goose meat just now was poisonous!"

Shen Yuyao didn't hesitate and told Ling Xiangxiang the truth directly.

"Ah!" Ling Xiangxiang was so scared that she fell to her knees. "Princess, I didn't poison you!"

"I believe you! Xiangxiang, right now there is a pot of goose meat and a puppy that has been poisoned to death in the meeting room. I need you to clean it up!"

"Yes!" Ling Xiangxiang forced back the tears in her eyes. Since the princess trusted her so much, she was not a coward.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Shen Yuyao, and trotted off to the meeting room.

Just as we finished making the arrangements here, we saw the prince and the duke coming over.

Shen Yuyao looked at her father's calm expression, and it was as if a huge stone in her heart had fallen off, and she felt much more relaxed.

Afterwards, he followed into the banquet hall.

At the hundred-day luncheon that day, everyone had no appetite and finished eating quickly. They all thanked the prince and left.

【Seeing that my grandfather is fine...】

[There should be no goose meat today...]

[My mother actually forgot... to give me some meat! ]

Shen Yuyao listened and smiled slightly: "Everyone has finished eating, it's my little princess' turn to have a taste!"

He took a piece of scallion that Zisu had prepared long ago, dipped it in some of the broth, and let Xiaoxianbao and the other two children taste it.

[Wow! This is fish... Delicious...]

[Grow up quickly...I want to taste all the delicious food in the world! ]

The little fairy's voice finally brought some brightness to this depressing Hundred Days Banquet.

Fortunately, there is the little fairy treasure.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuyao suddenly felt that the future road would not be so scary!

It had been drizzling since the morning and it finally stopped.

Prince Ning was also riding on his horse, his eyes looking towards the gate of the palace.

Shen Yuyao was holding the little fairy and saying goodbye to the Duke's family one by one.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, stirring up dust.

It seems that there are quite a few people coming!

"The Emperor has arrived!"
