Chapter 289 New Year's Eve Incident
Emperor's bedroom
Eunuch Chen said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong has been staying in her palace and has not come out. Her meals are prepared by her personal maid. The people I sent cannot get close to her."
"You're incompetent. If you can't even do this little thing, what's the point of raising you?"
Eunuch Chen was so frightened that he knelt down immediately and said, "This old slave deserves death. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
The emperor pondered for a moment, "She will also attend the dinner later, so we must get rid of her unborn child quietly."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Inside the banquet hall, the magnificent decorations are dazzling.
Civil officials and military generals dressed in gorgeous clothes and brought their families to the scene, making it an extremely lively scene.
At this time, the eldest prince and his wife walked into the banquet hall and saw Shen Rou and the others. Even though he looked down on Shen Rou's background, she was the Princess Mu appointed by the emperor himself, so he had to come over to say hello.
"Meet the Imperial Aunt."
"The eldest prince, the prince and concubine are exempt from the courtesy."
The eldest prince cast his gaze towards Shangguan Rui and said dismissively, "Royal brother, congratulations to you and the Princess of Ya'an County on finally getting married."
The eldest prince deliberately told everyone that Shangguan Rui and Shen Xue had already fallen in love and had secretly decided to spend their lives together.
"Thank you for your congratulations, my Royal Brother. My marriage to the Princess of Ya'an was arranged by our Father. If you have any objections, we can discuss it with our Father."
"This prince is just being pragmatic. Didn't you two already secretly get married?"
Shen Rou looked at the eldest prince with a gloomy expression and said coldly, "Eldest Prince, think twice before speaking in public. Don't let rumors spread that you are talking nonsense and making false accusations."
The princess apologized, "Princess Mu, please don't be angry. His Highness did it unintentionally. Please forgive him."
"Prince, is he a three-year-old? He speaks without thinking, or is he just used to being arrogant and domineering? Does the Emperor know what you have done?"
"It's not your fault that you're a prince with a bad mind, but it's your fault that you're spreading rumors and misleading the public."
The eldest prince had never been humiliated in public since he was a child. His eyes were filled with anger and his fists were clenched, as if he was ready to explode at any time.
Shangguan Rui quickly stood in front of the sisters, fearing that he would hurt the pregnant Shen Rou.
Shen Rou looked at the eldest prince with disdain. If he dared to attack in public, she would definitely cut off one of his hands.
Everyone gathered around and listened to their conversation, but no one dared to step forward to persuade them.
Seeing everyone gathering around, the princess quickly pulled the eldest prince away.
The princess said cautiously, "Your Highness, don't be angry. Princess Mu is a woman, and she's pregnant. You're degrading yourself by arguing with her."
The eldest prince gnashed his teeth and said, "Based on her lowly background, if it weren't for my father's regard for my ninth uncle, she wouldn't even be worthy of being my maid."
"Your Highness, calm down. If the Emperor knew about this on New Year's Eve, he would definitely be displeased."
At this time, Lord Song, the Minister of the Dali Temple, came slowly with his family. Song Lan saw the third prince standing beside Shen Rou and her sister. Her jealous eyes were murderous, but she could do nothing about it because the emperor had issued an order to grant them a marriage.
At this time, the eunuch shouted: "The Emperor has arrived, the Empress Qi has arrived, the Empress Rong has arrived, and the Empress Hui has arrived."
Everyone knelt down to salute and shouted "Long live the emperor".
"My dear ministers, please do not be polite. Today is the New Year's Eve banquet. You don't need to be restrained. Just enjoy yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Rou sat at the front with her two children, and they were arranged in order of status. Although Shen Xue was granted marriage, she had not yet married, so she could only sit at the back as a county lady.
As luck would have it, Lin Xiya and Zhuang Shiwan were sitting next to her. Lin Xiya originally had a good relationship with Shen Xue, but because Zhuang Shiwan instigated the emperor's marriage, Lin Xiya felt resentful towards Shen Xue.
Then, the banquet officially began. Palace maids shuttled around the banquet, delicious dishes were served one after another, and there were wonderful singing and dancing performances.
Ever since Concubine Rong appeared, the eldest prince's eyes have lingered on her from time to time. Ever since he spent several wonderful days and nights with her in the royal temple, he has been thinking about her all the time.
Even if I sleep in the same bed with other women, her enchanting figure and seductive moans often appear in my mind, and I feel itchy just thinking about it.
After returning to the palace, he kept sending people to convey messages to her, but she turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, making the eldest prince love and hate her.
Now that she is pregnant, she can calculate the date and the child might be hers. If her father finds out after the child is born, her fate can be imagined.
He tried every possible way to get rid of the child, but Concubine Rong had been very cautious since she became pregnant, making it impossible for him to do so.
Concubine Rong seemed to sense something and glanced slightly to the side, but did not show any strange expression.
Everyone drank as they watched the singing and dancing, chatting quietly with their neighbors. The eldest prince, feeling depressed, drank one glass after another.
The princess quickly stopped him, saying, "Your Highness, drinking too much is harmful to your health."
The eldest prince glared at her and whispered, "Why should you worry about what I do?"
"Your Highness... Your Highness... I..."
"Shut up! If you dare to say another word, I will make you suffer."
The princess was so frightened that she dared not say a word and looked at the angry eldest prince with a wronged look on her face.
Shen Rou and her two children were well fed and well-drinking at home, so they had no appetite for meals. Besides, the food in the palace was not safe.
Zhuang Shiwan cast a vicious look at Shen Xue. She had snatched her position as the prince's consort. If she wanted to live in peace, she should stop dreaming. Today, she would definitely ruin her reputation. Then she would see how the third prince would marry her as his principal wife.
She gave me a look, and I nodded slightly.
Zhuang Shiwan smiled and raised her wine glass, saying to Lin Xiya and Shen Xue, "Princess Ya'an, Miss Lin, I wish you a happy new year!"
Her eyes were full of sincerity and blessings.
Lin Xiya also raised her wine glass and responded with a smile: "Happy New Year, Miss Zhuang."
Shen Xue couldn't drink much, but she couldn't refuse the hospitality. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Seeing this, Zhuang Shiwan's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible cunning.
He found various excuses to drink with Shen Xue. After a few drinks, Shen Xue felt dizzy and her face turned red.
Zhuang Shiwan feigned concern and asked, "Princess Ya'an, what's wrong? Are you drunk? Do you want to go to the side hall to rest?"
"I'll just go out and get some fresh air."
"Alright."
Shen Xue already felt that something was wrong. As a doctor, she was sure that there was nothing wrong with the wine she drank. She didn't know why she took Chinese medicine.
What she didn't know was that Zhuang Shiwan knew she was a doctor and was afraid that she would find out if she tampered with the wine, so she hid the medicine under the cushion she was sitting on. As the alcohol and the medicine mixed, her blood and qi churned.
After Shen Xue left, the palace maid hurried over to pour wine for Zhuang Shiwan and deliberately spilled the wine on Shen Xue's cushion. She was so scared that she quickly changed another cushion.
Shen Rou was sitting there feeling a little bored. She took the two children out of the banquet hall and saw Shen Xue's face flushed. She asked with concern: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, I'm taking Chinese medicine."
Shen Rou glanced at the two children and quickly ordered, "Su Mo, Su Xi, send the two young masters to the Queen Mother's Palace. I will personally go and take them back to the palace later."
"Princess, the county lady is like this, and you are pregnant. What will happen to the county lady if we leave?"
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
"Yan'er, Qing'er, you two should go to the palace with the Empress Dowager first. Mother will come to take you back to the palace soon."
"Yes."
Su Mo and the others were still a little worried, but seeing Shen Rou's confident look, she carried the two children to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.
"Xiaoxue, how can you be a doctor and not know that you are taking Chinese medicine? Is there any way to detoxify it?"
She took out a silver needle from her gold hairpin, but the people coming and going around made it impossible for her to give the acupuncture.
"Sister, there was no drug in the wine I drank. The drug was put somewhere else."
"I'm going to use an acupuncture needle to force out the poison, but the needle will be in the foot."
"I'll take you to the side hall to detoxify."
"Sister, let's leave the palace quickly. I'm afraid someone will plot against me."
"This person deliberately drugged you. He must have another plan. I want to see who dares to use such a despicable method on you."
"just in case……"
"Nothing will happen while I'm here."
Shen Rou supported Shen Xue and walked to the side hall next to the banquet hall.
