After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The peculiar aroma attracted everyone, and everyone looked at the dish on the table.

"It is said that this dish is from outside the Great Wall. Everyone, please try it. It is very delicious." Ning Ruyan was very proud.

For this banquet, she specially invited a chef from outside the Great Wall.

Grilled lamb ribs are his specialty.

"How do we eat this?" Everyone looked at the bones on the plate in surprise.

Ning Ruyan waved her hand and a group of maids came up, each holding a small knife in her hand.

The women in the family all exclaimed in surprise, and saw the maid raise her knife and cut the pork ribs neatly into the plate.

Princess Anyang sneered, then reached out her hand, picked up a piece of pork ribs and started to chew on it.

She often walked outside the palace and often ate with the prince, so she naturally knew how to eat this dish to make it taste delicious.

Seeing Princess Anyang eating with relish, the Crown Princess picked up a small piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

A strange fragrance rushed to her head, stimulating her taste buds and making her unable to resist eating a small piece more.

This dish was very much to Anyang's liking, and she ate all the lamb chops on the plate.

The next dish was a dessert, bird's nest sweet soup.

Shen Yunjin had just come back from changing clothes. Sweet soup was her favorite food, so she picked it up and ate it in small bites.

"Puff!" Anyang next to him spat a mouthful of blood into the sweet soup on the table.

All the women were stunned for a moment, then started screaming and became a mess.

Shen Yunjin looked at the sweet soup mixed with blood on the table and began to vomit uncontrollably.

But because she didn't eat much when she sat down at the table, what she vomited was acid.

Immediately, a secret guard reported this to Xiao Minshen in the outer courtyard. A moment later, Xiao Minshen, the prince and others came hurriedly.

At this time, the women were hiding on the side and trembling. Anyang was pinching their necks tightly, his face was covered in blood, and his eyes were bulging. It was really scary to look at.

"Hurry up and find Doctor Li." Xiao Minshen ordered with a serious face.

Ning Ruyan, who was already panicking, hurriedly asked the maid beside her to call the imperial physician.

"What's going on?" He looked at Ning Ruyan with a cold face.

"I don't know either. The princess was eating when she suddenly vomited blood."

Ning Ruyan said this with a lingering fear on her face.

"Someone, come here, seal off the scene and take all the princesses to the side hall for tea." Xiao Minshen gave the order, and someone came immediately to evacuate the area.

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince walked straight over and picked up Anyang.

"Anyang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

The Fourth Prince also seemed to be shocked by Anyang's vomiting of blood. He jumped up and pointed at Xiao Minshen, "Fifth Prince, what do you mean by this? Do you want to kill people and silence them?"

"Why do you say that, fourth brother? Why do I want to kill Anyang?" Xiao Minshen was very angry.

"Old Fifth, if you don't give us an explanation this time, we will never let you go!" There was a murderous look in the prince's eyes.

At this moment, Doctor Li came over.

When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward and started taking the patient's pulse.

"Princess, I'm sorry." Doctor Li used silver needles to prick several acupuncture points on Anyang.

Someone was brought a mouthpiece, and soon Anyang began to vomit violently.

Only after Anyang vomited out everything he had eaten did he start taking his pulse again.

"What exactly happened?" The Fourth Prince circled around the imperial physician anxiously.

He was the one who brought Anyang here. If anything goes wrong, his life will be in danger.

"Princess, you are poisoned. Fortunately, the poison is very mild. I will prescribe a dose of medicine to regulate your stomach. You will be fine after taking it a few times."

"Poisoned!" Everyone looked horrified.

Today's food is the same for both the inner and outer courtyards. If the princess is poisoned, does that mean that everyone is poisoned?

The third prince stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Minshen's collar, "Let's go to our father. You actually poisoned us!"

"Third Prince, calm down. I just checked and there is no poison in the food."

"You quack, there is no poison in the food, so how did Anyang get poisoned?" The Fourth Prince wanted to chop the Imperial Doctor Li to pieces with a knife.

"I would like to ask the princess a few questions." Doctor Li took a pill from the medicine box.

"Princess, eat this. It can cure all kinds of poisons."

After seeing Anyang eat it, Doctor Li began to ask questions.

"Princess, could you please tell me everything you have come into contact with since entering the mansion today?"

After being tossed around, Anyang no longer had the arrogance of the past.

The maid beside her told her everything Anyang had come into contact with today.

After Anyang entered the mansion, apart from the initial teacup and the lamb chops just now, there was nothing unusual.

Everyone has come into contact with these things and nothing happened. It may not be that Anyang is in poor health?

"Oh, by the way, when the princess entered the palace, she saw a kind of flower that she thought was very beautiful, so she picked a few of them."

The maid suddenly remembered that Anyang had crushed one of the flowers.

"Flowers? But the kind in the garden that have red and white flowers on the same plant?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the maid nodded hurriedly.

Doctor Li asked Anyang to stretch out her hand again, and seeing the residual juice on her right hand, he nodded.

"The princess was poisoned by the juice of this flower. I have already induced her to vomit. With the pills you took just now, the princess will be fine tomorrow."

"The Prince of Qi's mansion actually grows poisonous flowers! Lao Wu, what do you want to do?"

When the prince saw that Anyang was fine, he came to his senses and started to get angry.

Xiao Minshen bowed to everyone and said, "I am sorry to all of you. I have not ruled properly. I will give everyone an explanation."

He turned to look at Anyang: "Princess, please go to the guest room to rest."

Anyang has recovered by now, and her eyes are full of hatred.

"No, I am the victim. I want to see you hand over the murderer! Otherwise, I will raze your Qi Palace to the ground!"

A faint light flashed in Xiao Minshen's eyes.

He pursed his lips and looked at Ning Ruyan, whose legs were trembling.

Ning Ruyan really couldn't stand the pressure from the crowd, and fell to the ground with a thump.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault for not managing the place properly. I didn't know the juice of that flower was poisonous! I am wronged, Your Highness!"

Ning Ruyan never thought that Anyang would pick flowers and leave the juice on his hands.

What was even more unexpected was that Anyang would chew the lamb chops directly with his hands, which came into contact with the juice and caused poisoning.

Because it involved the Princess of Qi, the Crown Prince eventually brought everyone into the palace.

In this matter, only the emperor can make the final decision.

When Concubine Ning heard that Ning Ruyan was caught poisoning Anyang, she hurried to the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, Yan'er must have been wronged! She has no grudge against Anyang, how could he harm her?

Your Majesty, you have watched Yan'er grow up under your watch. She is the kind of person who would avoid even an ant. How could she possibly poison someone?

Your Majesty, you have to help Yan'er!" As soon as Concubine Ning entered the palace, she knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Lady Ning, I also want to know why Ning Ruyan poisoned me."
