Rebirth: The First Daughter and the Ruthless Concubine

Questions came to mind one after another, but before she could ask any more questions, he had already flown out, not openly, but flying over the walls...

Meng Wan was even more shocked. She had just guessed that he might be a royal minister or even a prince, but after seeing his behavior, she immediately gave up this idea.

If he really had that identity, there was no need to escape like this. He could have been just and above board. So...could it be that he sneaked into the palace secretly?

With this thought, she became more and more worried. She looked at the direction in which he left and the sound of the guards chasing him, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned tightly.

When he returned to Yusheng Tower, he was still absent-minded. He kept listening to the noise outside, for fear that he would be caught, but he didn't hear any noise, and instead, the palace suddenly became quiet.

Meng Wan followed the sound and saw the emperor and empress entering in their best clothes. As the eunuch sang a high-pitched promise, everyone stood up: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old -

--"

The dazzling figures made people dizzy. Meng Wan blinked, stood up, and knelt down with everyone else.

For a while, there were many salutes and choruses. When he stood up again, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon chair. His eyes glanced around for a long time, and then he raised his hand: "Today is a family banquet.

There is no need to be polite, all ministers, please get up." Then he turned to the eunuch accompanying him: "Where's Lao Qi, why didn't I see him?"

One of the protagonists of the dinner did not show up, which was naturally against the rules.

At that moment, a eunuch came to report: "His Royal Highness Prince Heng's sedan chair has been parked outside, but I don't know where he has gone. I have ordered people to look for it. I think I will find it in a short time."

The emperor nodded, but there was no hint of displeasure in his smile. It seemed that even if Prince Heng did something hugely wrong, he would not blame him.

He raised his eyes and looked down. When his eyes fell on Meng Wan, a smile appeared on his lips: "Girl Wan is here too."

Hearing the emperor calling her, Meng Wan hurriedly stood up and walked to the center of the hall in a dignified manner. When she passed by the previous concubine, she clearly saw her feet that she pretended to inadvertently extend. Meng Wan just pretended not to know and looked from the side.

He walked sideways, then knelt down and saluted, "My maid, I bow to the emperor. Thank you very much for your permission to enter the palace and attend the banquet!"

"Get up, don't be so polite!" The emperor waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Speaking of which, the seventh child can come back today thanks to you solving his crossword puzzle, otherwise the child would have been making trouble outside.

when."

It was obvious that he was in a good mood, and everyone in the room laughed. The queen beside the emperor even smiled dignifiedly and gently: "In that case, when the seventh child comes later, he must respect Miss Meng's family well.

One cup, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The emperor naturally nodded repeatedly and couldn't hide his smile. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

But at this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground, suddenly interrupting the atmosphere.

Looking back, it was the woman who had glared at Meng Wan just now who fell to the ground, huddled there as if she was sad, and twitched all over.

"Mr.

"What's going on?" The emperor walked from the main seat to the crowd and asked the palace maid next to Xingui. The palace maid shook her head: "I don't know, but Xingui suddenly fainted. I don't know why.

It’s not like he was poisoned.”

As soon as they heard that they were poisoned, there was a sound of shock in the hall, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they were stroking their chests to check if they were okay.

At this moment, someone had already gone to call the imperial doctor. Meng Wan looked on with a slight frown.

If he was poisoned, his face should turn blue or purple, but Xingui's face turned slightly red, as if he had taken something mutually reinforcing and incompatible.

She walked over, glanced at the desk, and her eyebrows suddenly lit up.

"Your Majesty, please order someone to prepare two taels of bayberry water for Xingui people to take."

Qingyue's voice was exceptionally clear in the noisy palace. Everyone was stunned, and the emperor was also puzzled. Prime Minister Meng even winked at his daughter desperately, fearing that she would get into trouble, but Meng Wan lowered her eyebrows.

Still unhurried and unhurried: "Your Majesty, please order people to prepare immediately, otherwise we will waste time and may not be able to save the day."

She said it solemnly, and the emperor was stunned for a moment. Somehow, he believed her words very much. He even ordered people to prepare without much hesitation. At this time, someone laid down Xingui on the mat.

When the bayberry water arrived, he drank it for her.

Everyone held their breath and stared at this room intently, but their expressions were different.

Naturally, some people are nervous, fearing that someone will die in front of them, while others have a wait-and-see attitude, just wanting to see what the prime minister's daughter is up to, and some even hug her.

With the attitude of watching the farce, waiting for Xinguiren to die without taking medicine, to see Meng Wan's fate...

Only Meng Wan's face was calm. She knelt down and held Xingui Ren's wrist. After a long time, she curled her lips and smiled: "It's done."

As the words rose and fell, Xin Guiren's eyelids twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes, looking at the people in front of him with a dazed and confused look. After a long while, he said a faint sentence: "I...what's wrong?"

The woman who was with her earlier rushed over and helped Xingui up. Tears and smiles flew from her eyes: "Master, it will be fine if you are fine. I scared this slave to death."

At this time, the imperial doctor finally arrived and checked Xingui's pulse. After confirming that she was fine, the emperor ordered her to be sent back to the palace.

"Girl Wan, can you tell me now what happened? Why did Xingui suddenly faint?"

Everyone looked at them with curiosity. Meng Wan felt blessed and said with a smile: "Reporting to the emperor, I just checked the dishes of Mr. Xingui and found that there were mustard greens and rabbit meat. These two delicacies were originally unavailable."

It is poisonous, but if eaten together, it will cause coma or even death. The way to rescue it is to drink it with two taels of bayberry water."

Suddenly, there was a lot of tut-tutting in the palace, and the emperor's eyes couldn't hide his approval. He said "yes" three times in a row, which showed how happy he was.

At this time, the atmosphere returned to its previous joyful state, and even King Heng's arrival was forgotten. The emperor waved his hands in a good mood: "Since Lao Qi hasn't arrived yet, don't wait for him. Let's start the banquet."

Bar!"

As the words rose and fell, the sound of the piano gradually began to play. A group of women filed in, holding fans, and the huge hall was suddenly immersed in the sound of music.
