The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 21 Who is the prey in the hunting ground?

Everyone is puzzled.

"Do you have any clues?"

The Queen asked.

There is a competitive relationship among the concubines in the harem. If they cannot find out who poisoned the queen, there must be someone pointing the finger at the queen behind her back.

After all, the man was poisoned in the Queen's palace.

"There was also a problem with the meatballs at the luncheon today."

Shen Runing said.

Concubine Jing shook her head again.

"No, I ate a lot of meatballs too!"

The queen nodded.

“I had meatballs, too.”

Shen Runing shook his head and explained.

“Just take out the meatballs, no problem.”

“Just taking out the Cineraria will not be a problem.”

"The problem is, Princess Zhuyue likes both meatballs and cineraria."

“That’s a big problem.”

Luo Mian looked at Shen Runing.

"You mean, the meatballs and the cineraria caused Yuyao to be poisoned."

Shen Runing nodded.

"Yes, today's meatballs have the flavor of Aconitum, but the dosage is very small."

"Aconitum is a medicinal herb, there is no problem with that."

"If ordinary people eat it, it can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and resist cold."

"But when Aconitum and Cineraria stamens are combined, it becomes highly toxic."

"Other people who appreciate flowers would at most just stand by and watch, but Princess Zhuyue is still young and loves Cineraria very much, so she will definitely go closer and smell the stamens."

"Among all the people at today's luncheon, the only one who loves meatballs and cineraria is Princess Zhuyue. Therefore, the person who poisoned her knows Princess Zhuyue very well."

After hearing Shen Runing's words, everyone suddenly understood.

But I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back.

What a vicious method.

And he also knows Princess Zhuyue's preferences.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If you can't find out, no one is allowed to leave Qixiang Palace today!"

Luo Mian stood up.

"Brother, I have asked Eunuch Qian to bring people to seal all the doors."

The emperor nodded.

Concubine Jing talked to herself.

"Who on earth is it? Who on earth would use so many circuitous means to poison my child?"

Luo Xunbei kept trying to comfort Concubine Jing.

The Queen also gave Shen Runing an approving look.

After all this trouble, it was already dark.

Candlelight flickers.

Luo Yuyao slept soundly.

The color gradually returned to his face.

Concubine Yan knelt for nearly three hours.

Empress Dowager Shouren couldn't bear to watch this anymore and asked Concubine Yan to get up.

Only then did Concubine Yan finally stand up.

Shen Runing wanted to help people to the end and see them off to the end.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to find the murderer."

The emperor's eyes lit up.

"speak!"

Shen Runing spoke slowly.

"The only variable in the whole process was the meatball soup, so someone must have sprinkled aconite powder into the meatball soup."

"Aconite powder will turn black when it comes into contact with alkaline substances. Once a person's skin is stained with aconite powder, it will not fall off no matter how you wash it. It will penetrate into the skin through the pores."

Luo Mian immediately understood what Shen Runing meant.

"Brother, let's eat steamed buns tonight."

The emperor looked at Luo Mian and smiled.

"Okay, I'll just follow Mian'er's lead and eat steamed buns, crab roe steamed buns made with alkaline water!"

……

The yard was brightly lit by the candlelight in the lanterns.

The group was in the yard and did not dare to leave until the emperor came out.

"Support..."

The door finally opened.

Luo Yujin was still waiting for Shen Runing to beg for mercy.

But they were disappointed.

The emperor walked out of the room with a serious face.

"It's getting late. I will have dinner with you today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

No one dared to speak in front of the emperor.

On the way to the side hall.

Everyone started talking again.

"Is Princess Zhuyue okay?"

"Is Shen Runing staying in there for the whole afternoon?"

"What on earth happened? I'm really curious!"

The side hall was brightly lit with candles.

Everyone was seated according to their noon seats.

Du Wenyun couldn't help his curiosity.

"Cousin, you were in there for so long, I was scared to death! Is the princess okay?"

Shen Runing did not intend to hide it from Du Wenyun.

"The princess is fine now."

The sisters hadn’t seen each other for an entire afternoon and it seemed as if they had endless things to talk about.

But they didn't notice that Luo Yujin and the others were looking at them with evil smiles.

"Liao Jinyi, how is the matter going?"

Liao Jin said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

"Just wait until Shen Runing is ruined."

Luo Yujin nodded with satisfaction.

"She will never be able to turn over a new leaf in her life!"

In the corner, Luo Mian discovered that Luo Yujin and others were looking at Shen Runing with ill intentions.

"Luo Mian, what's going on?" Li Qianchang asked.

"Secret."

After being rejected by Luo Mian, Li Qian turned to Du Wenzhe.

"Wen Ze, is your cousin so powerful?"

Not to mention Li Qianchang was curious, Du Wenzhe himself was curious as well.

Did my cousin evolve overnight?

Luo Mosheng didn't look for Liao Jinyi for the whole day.

His heart was a little confused.

He had an urge to take off Shen Runing's veil and see her face.

Everyone at the dinner party.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

The dishes were served one after another.

There is still harmonious music, graceful dancing and light singing.

The emperor held the wine glass and looked quietly at the people below the stage.

Who dares to move without the emperor's order?

"Everyone!"

Everyone looked at the emperor.

"This flower viewing banquet at Qixiang Palace was held very successfully under the Queen's management."

“Although, something happened in the middle.”

“But fortunately it was resolved smoothly.”

"Everyone, please don't be shy, let's have dinner!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor has a kind and pleasing face.

"Today, the Queen specially prepared crab roe steamed buns."

"Thank you Queen!"

More than a dozen palace maids brought porcelain cups in an orderly manner, and two steamed buns were placed on each cup.

Each steamed bun is printed with a lifelike plum blossom.

Exceptionally beautiful.

After the palace maid placed the porcelain cups on everyone's table, she slowly retreated.

Everyone started eating.

Everyone has a personal servant.

For example, Qiu Zhi is by Shen Runing's side.

Beside Luo Yujin is Biluo.

Next to Luo Mian... is Mu Shan.

At such a large and solemn banquet with the emperor present, each person's personal servant would serve their master at meals.

Luo Mian was in the corner, taking everyone in.

When the people in the Queen's Palace were making steamed buns, the people in Luomian watched.

No fingers turned black.

Then, there is only one possibility.

The murderer was hiding in the dinner party.

"Luo Mian, why don't you eat? This steamed bun in the Queen's Palace is very famous."

Li Qianchang said softly while chewing the steamed bun.

"That's right, it should be easy to eat if you want..."

Luo Mian ignored Li Qianchang.

"Tsk! You're as cold as an iceberg. How could any woman like you?"

Li Qianchang muttered.

Luo Mian seemed to be lost in thought after hearing what Li Qianchang said.

Hmm...how about smiling more in the future?

Side hall.

There were sounds of cups, bowls, and chopsticks colliding with each other.

"Ding ding..."

"Dangdang..."

In this hunt.

Luo Mian is not the only hunter.

Shen Runing also looked back and forth calmly.

for a long time.

The lady with a small appetite has already wiped her mouth and prepared to rinse her mouth.

The emperor's expression became increasingly solemn.

Imperial Concubine Jing clutched the sleeves of her Liuxian skirt tightly.

Although the queen did not show any obvious expression, her heart was also hanging in the balance.

Although the lights were bright, the atmosphere in the side hall was depressing.

The darkness in a person's heart cannot be illuminated by any candle, no matter how bright it is.

Time passes minute by minute.

Shen Runing couldn't help but frown.

The murderer ran away?

Impossible, Luo Mian has sealed all the doors.

The person who poisoned must still be among the crowd.

After rinsing her mouth, Concubine Yan sat quietly.

She smiles on the outside, but she's crazy in her heart.

Today is so embarrassing!

Concubine Yan then looked at Luo Mian.

Unexpectedly, Luo Mian also looked at her.

Concubine Yan quickly looked away.

If you can't afford to offend me, why not just hide away?

After Concubine Yan's gaze shifted away, it reunited with Shen Runing's.

Concubine Yan was confused as to what was going on.

Does it all depend on what I do?

She didn't want to look at Shen Runing. That girl had caused her a lot of trouble today.

Concubine Yan turned around to see if the emperor had finished eating.

can.

She suddenly realized.

The Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Jing.

They are all looking at themselves.
