He said with a grim expression, "Young Master Zhan has just arrived and is about to be sent away. If the king hears about this, he will think that the master has failed to entertain his distinguished guest. Let him rest for a while first. There are people in the mansion who will take care of him!"

Doctor Lin didn't dare to anger him, so he had to ask Min Ao for help.

Min Ao then spoke up, "Master Ruan, why are you forcing him? Young Master Zhan is already in a coma. If something happens in your house, how will you explain it to the king?"

State Preceptor Ruan said dissatisfiedly, "Min Xiang, what you said is wrong. This state preceptor respects this young master Zhan very much, how could he let anything happen to him? Or do you simply look down on our Ruan family?"

After the words fell, many officials who came to the banquet looked a little unhappy.

One of them spoke first, "Min Xiang, don't you know why the Imperial Preceptor treated Master Zhan with such courtesy? It's because he saved the monarch and helped our Kingdom of Li safely through a crisis. How can you stop us from showing him goodwill? Or, while you appear to support an alliance between our two countries, you actually have other ideas?"

Min Ao interrupted directly: "How could I have other ideas? If you had used those twists and turns on Tiemu Xin, he wouldn't have been able to seize power so easily. I didn't know that I would think you were in cahoots with him!"

"You!" The man was so angry that he dared not say a word.

Master Ruan laughed and said, "Alright, let's let Master Zhan go to the backyard to rest for a while. When he wakes up, we can continue drinking!"

He ordered his men to escort Zhan Yan away, and personally poured wine for Doctor Lin and Mu Yi, trapping the two of them.

Min Ao's eyes were dark, and the murderous intent on his face flashed away.

At this time, Zhan Yan had been sent to a side room. He was lying on the bed and noticed someone tiptoeing towards him.

The man called out in a low voice: "Master Zhan?"

He opened his eyes with difficulty: "Who are you?"

The man said softly to him, "I'm here to serve you. My name is Qingqing. It's so uncomfortable for you to sleep with your clothes on. How about I take them off for you?"

Zhan Yan curled his lips and sneered: "Okay!"

When she tried to untie his belt, he suddenly threw her onto the bed.

"Woo!" Ruan Qingqing felt dizzy and dazed after being thrown around. She never expected that the man in front of her had no mercy on women at all. He was so rude and strong!

If it wasn't for finding a legitimate father for the child in her belly, she wouldn't have to suffer like this.

She bit her lip hard and said tenderly, "Master Zhan, you hurt me!"

Zhan Yan pretended to be innocent and explained: "I didn't mean to do that. Miss, where did you fall? Can I help you rub it?"

Ruan Qingqing's heart was moved, and she couldn't help but curl up a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth.

I thought he was so noble!

It turned out to be nothing more than that!

He can't resist his own charm, right?

She pointed to her heart and said, "Come on, rub here?"

Zhan Yan moved closer to her, and just when she thought he was going to attack her, a pill was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She asked anxiously, "You, what medicine did you give me?"

Zhan Yan leaned over to her ear and said, "Don't you like dancing? I'll give you this medicine, so you can dance to your heart's content!"

After a while, Ruan Qingqing lost consciousness. She felt hot and uncomfortable. She took off her clothes, pushed open the door and ran out.

She stood on the stone platform and danced naked, which soon startled many guests who were still attending the banquet.

The housekeeper of the mansion immediately went to report to Master Ruan, who was so scared that he ran to the backyard.

In full view of the crowd, Ruan Qingqing was seen dancing without any clothes. The dazzling scene almost made everyone hold their breath.

Master Ruan almost fainted from exhaustion. He yelled, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and put clothes on her and get her down. Go!"

Several strong maids stepped forward quickly, but they were no match for Ruan Qingqing's strength.

She broke free from their grip and even ran to Master Ruan to ask, "Did I dance well? Tell me, did I dance well or not?"

Master Ruan wanted to beat her to death. He had lost all face.

Fortunately, the court doctor was quick and agile. He quickly used a silver needle to knock Ruan Qingqing unconscious, which made her calm down.

Master Ruan ordered someone to drag her away, but then he looked towards the backyard: "Where is Master Zhan? How is he?"

Doctor Lin and Mu Yi went over and helped the still unconscious Zhan Yan out: "Our young master is still asleep, you can't blame us. Everyone present saw that your daughter was not wearing any clothes, except him!"

Master Ruan was so angry that he had a heart attack. He didn't believe that Zhan Yan was innocent!

Just as he was about to speak, Min Ao said, "Logically speaking, Master Zhan can't have been unconscious after just one glass of wine. Doctor Lin, please take his pulse quickly to see if he's been poisoned."

After hearing these words, Master Ruan suddenly felt guilty.

Min Ao must not find out that Ruan Qingqing poisoned Master Zhan first, otherwise, there will be no way to explain to King Wu.

He had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit he had just created.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Min Xiang, what do you mean by this? Do you still suspect that this national teacher poisoned him? He is the nephew of the King of Wu, why would I plot against him? If that's the case, then you should take him away immediately, so that he won't cause any trouble in our national teacher's mansion and we won't be able to deny it!"

Before Prime Minister Min could say anything, Zhan Yan, who had regained some clarity, spoke up, "Master Ruan, you're really making a false claim. I've always been a good drinker, and the reason I suddenly passed out this time was because your daughter's sleeve rubbed my nose. She must have drugged me!"

Master Ruan didn't expect that he would be exposed. Even though he was panicked, he refused to admit it.

He angrily scolded, "Ridiculous! Why would my daughter drug you? Stop slandering people. I even suspect you're the one who caused her to be like that. You must be held responsible for her!"

Zhan Yan retorted, "I'm already unconscious, how could I possibly harm her? Besides, whether she drugged me or not, if I check her clothes, the truth will surely come out!"

Doctor Lin immediately went to pick up the pieces of clothing from the ground. He raised his hand directly towards Grand Tutor Ruan's nose and said, "Did you put in the drug? Smell it first, your father!"

Master Ruan took a half step back guiltily, and it took him a moment to react.

As expected, Min Ao sneered, "Master Ruan, if you have nothing to hide, why are you hiding? It seems you already knew there was drug powder hidden on this dress!"

Master Ruan denied it in a broken voice: "I didn't do that, you're talking nonsense, Min Ao, don't make false accusations against my master!"

Zhan Yan said in a deep voice, "Whether or not you have falsely accused Master Ruan, wouldn't it be clear if we just wake up your daughter and ask her?"
