C109 Chapter 109

Shihan looked at Jiegeng worriedly. She was worried that Jiegeng would be eaten by Duan Shuang in the future.

"Sister, let's get down to business."

"Alright." Shihan could not convince Jiegeng, "This Qi Han is the Empress's youngest brother. He is just as you said. He is indeed not bad. It is just that his actions and actions do not look like someone who came from a family of generals. He's been idling around all day, fooling around. "

" So that's how it is. "

"Normally, if you want to find him, you just need to go to a brothel." From then on, Shihan did not hide her disdain, "This person will spend the rest of his days in the brothel. Sooner or later, he will definitely be squeezed dry!"

"Sister, how can you say such things in front of so many people?"

"What's wrong? Someone dares to come over and say that we are not?" Shihan sighed, "That's true. After all, you have just arrived. It would be embarrassing to hear it."

Shihan suddenly pulled Jiegeng's hand and headed in a direction. "It was all because of this golden border peony that you were delayed. I originally wanted to bring you to meet my friend."

Jiegeng followed Shihan to a pavilion.

"This is the Jiegeng I was talking about!"

"She looks really cute and pretty. No wonder even Zhen'an King changed his character." One of the girls laughed.

Jiegeng saw that the girl who spoke was already Madam's hair bun. It seemed that she was already married.

"Jiegeng, this is Yang Lanyi. He is now the Ninth King's concubine. The one beside her, who is about the same age as you, is her younger sister, Yang Lanqing."

"County Princess." Jiegeng nodded her head in a hurry.

"There's no need to be so distant!" Yang Lan smiled and said, "Since you are Shihan's sister, why don't you follow my sister and call me sister."

"That's right. I am also calling Shihan princess elder sister!" Yang Lanqing also chimed in. "I am fourteen years old this year. How old are you?"

"I am fifteen." Yang Lanqing's bright and clear voice made Jiegeng feel much more relaxed. "Big sister Lan Yi, little sister Lanqing."

"This way, you are also my big sister!" Just now, Yang Lanqing was still happy, but in the next second, she started to frown.

"What is it? Just now, she was still very happy." Yang Lanyi asked.

"Why am I always the youngest!? It's really unfair, I feel like I'm being called big sister."

"You're already an aunt, yet you still have such a small temper." Yang Lan smiled.

"Then how can we be the same! It's all because sister got married too early and gave birth too early. Look, Ms Shihan didn't."

"That means that elder sister Lan Yi has already become a mother!" Jiegeng felt that it was inconceivable. The person in front of her who looked to be a few years older than her was actually already a mother.

"I am the same age as Shihan. According to age, Shihan is late." Yang Lan glared at Shihan, "Look at you. When did you marry into Ouyang Manor early on? Don't teach my younger sister badly."

"Then it will depend on Jiegeng." Shihan threw this immediately to Jiegeng.

"Older sister, what does this have to do with me? When you and big brother Ouyang get married, it is not up to me to decide."

"If it wasn't for your Big Brother Yun giving all the things to Lingfeng, would he not even have the time to propose marriage? So, you are not responsible for this. Who is responsible for this? "

"Alright, alright. It's about time. Let's hurry to the main hall. The banquet is about to begin."

Yang Lanyi's words ended the conversation between the four of them.

Somewhere in the palace.

"Grandma, you have to keep this well. Remember to let this slip into that person's wine cup." A person dressed like a palace maid cautiously told the mama on the opposite side.

"Don't worry, there are many people coming today. The back is already extremely busy. We have to make a move to ensure that nothing goes wrong." The mama immediately guaranteed.

After the palace maid heard this, she took out a banknote from her sleeve. "This was given to you by my master first. Remember, in the future, your family outside the palace will be able to eat and drink well. Or use the Origin Treasure candle and you will have it all in your hands. "

The mama immediately took the banknote, "This servant naturally knows about this, please rest assured."

After the palace maid dismissed the mama, she carefully looked around to see if there was anyone around and immediately left.

However, everything inside was coincidentally seen by Qi Han.

"This palace is really not a place for a person to stay. Forget it, these matters, older sister can naturally handle it well." Qi Han shook his head and also left for the banquet.

Entering the main hall, Jiegeng originally intended to continue following Shihan and the rest but who knew that she was immediately grabbed by a hand and pulled to the side.

"Who is it!" Jiegeng turned her head and immediately became a docile little sheep. "Brother Sheng!"

"He has a pretty big temper." Duan Shuang nodded, "I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you have already lost your temper?"

"I didn't know it was you. Look, when I see you, how can I still lose my temper?"

"Is that so?"

"Of course. How can I let someone touch my hand so casually!?" Jiegeng seized the opportunity to show off.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The Yang sisters also came forward to greet.

"Mhm." Due to Jiegeng's relationship, Duan Shuang also returned to the two of them.

"I previously heard that the Royal Highness was incomparably brave and no one dared to approach. These words are really excessive. Today, it seems that the Royal Highness is quite close to him." Yang Lanqing immediately praised him.

" He is? " Duan Shuang frowned. He knew about Yang Lanyi, but this noisy girl...

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This is my sister. This is the first time I brought her to such an occasion, so it is inevitable that I will slip up in my words." Yang Lanyi hurriedly pulled Yang Lanqing down and teased Your Highness's words. It was fine to say it privately. How could he have the courage to say it in front of the Royal Highness?

"Brother Sheng, don't be angry. This little sister Lanqing only has a child's temperament, she's just a bit more lively."

"It was a little noisy, but it was a bit like your shadow in City L." Duan Shuang did not put Yang Lanqing in his eyes at all.

Little did he know that this sentence made this little sister have other thoughts.

"Alright, follow me." Duan Shuang held Jiegeng's hand.

"What? You want to pull Jiegeng away in front of me?" Shihan still had the same temper and liked to jeer.

"Otherwise, do you think Ouyang Lingfeng is too free?"

This sentence hit Shihan's weak point and she could only clench her teeth in hatred.

Just you wait and see how I will let Jiegeng deal with you! It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

Shihan stared at Duan Shuang and could only silently curse.

"Isn't it too flashy to sit in the same seat as him?" Jiegeng felt that all the gazes in the palace seemed to be focused on her.

"It is only a matter of time. There is no need to take it to heart." Duan Shuang was not tired of it.

Not long after, the Empress also entered.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have gathered all of you to gather in the Palace. One is to allow the Imperial Concubine to once again enjoy a reunion with her own family. Second, it was also during this festival that the outstanding young ladies and gentlemen of the various families in the capital had a chance to get to know each other. Therefore, there's no need to be hasty in today's banquet. Just do as you wish. " Under the Empress's leadership, this feast could be considered as the true opening.

" Serve the wine! "The female official next to the Empress shouted, and the palace maids began to step out from the sides to pour wine for the guests.

After the palace maids poured wine and retreated, the Empress raised the wine cup high, and everyone naturally raised the wine cup in front of them and downed it in one gulp.

Qi Han's seat just happened to be next to Princess Linglong's. After the banquet and wine, he turned his head to look and discovered that the palace maids he saw at the back of the palace were actually Princess Linglong's palace maids.

"Princess, she drank all the wine." The palace maid proudly reported to Ho Lingloong.

"Well done." Ho Lingloong revealed a smile.

"This time, Jiegeng will definitely make a fool of herself in front of the palace. At that time, the Emperor and Empress Dowager are both there. A woman with a bad reputation will definitely not be able to enter the Zhen'an King's Mansion." The palace maid continued to quietly report.

"Alright, don't say anymore." Ho Lingloong softly berated.

The palace maid immediately withdrew.

When Qi Han heard her, his expression immediately changed. Taking advantage of the time when he was pouring himself a drink, he immediately went to Jiegeng's place.

Looking at the empty wine cup in front of Jiegeng, Qi Han immediately asked, "Did you drink all of the wine just now?"

Looking at the panic-stricken Qi Han, Jiegeng and Duan Shuang both did not know what was going on.

Duan Shuang took the lead to block in front of Jiegeng.

"Aiya, I didn't mean what you thought." Looking at Duan Shuang's expression, Qi Han knew that he had misunderstood his intentions.

"Someone drugged Jiegeng's wine. Did you really drink all of it?" Qi Han ignored Duan Shuang's existence and directly asked Jiegeng, who was behind him.

"What?" Jiegeng was shocked, "Was it the wine just now? I did drink it."

Duan Shuang immediately turned his head anxiously and quickly questioned Qi Han, "What medicine is it?"

"I don't know either. Someone wants you to make a fool of yourself later."

Duan Shuang immediately pulled Jiegeng to the dormitory in the side hall.

"Call the Imperial Physician!"

"Jiegeng, how is it? Do you have any abnormalities now?" Duan Shuang looked around Jiegeng but did not find anything.

"Don't worry, I will take a look myself. Don't forget, I am also a doctor, don't panic!" Only then did Jiegeng realize that Duan Shuang was even more anxious than her.

After a while, Shihan and Rani Yi also heard the news and came over.

"What happened? In this Imperial Palace, there are also people who dare to harm you!"

Jiegeng looked at the anxious Shihan and Rani Yi and Duan Shuang who was pretending to be calm beside her, "I feel that I am fine. Could it be that Young Master Qi made a mistake? I did not drink any wine that was drugged."

"My ears are not deaf. That palace maid's words are chiseled, saying that the medicine did indeed watch you drink it." Qi Han immediately retorted.

"Where's the Imperial Physician!? Why hasn't the Imperial Physician arrived yet?"

Duan Shuang kicked the eunuch at the door.

At this moment, the Imperial Physician immediately rushed over.

"Greetings..." The moment the imperial physician entered the room, he was interrupted by Duan Shuang before he could finish his greeting.

"Hurry up and diagnose the pulse." Duan Shuang was flustered and exasperated.

The Imperial Physician immediately put on Jiegeng's cut.

"How is it?" Not long after, Duan Shuang immediately asked.

The Imperial Physician frowned bitterly and shook his head.

"Speak!" Duan Shuang could not help but roar.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Princess Renxi is very healthy. May I know why Your Highness summoned me here?"

"There are no signs of poisoning?"

"Poisoned?" The Imperial Physician found it very strange. "Why would the Royal Highness ask such a question? Not to mention poisoned, he didn't even feel unwell." The Imperial Physician became increasingly confused.

"I already said that I'm fine." Jiegeng looked at the people present and all of them had a taut face.

"Qi Han, how dare you make fun of me!" Duan Shuang turned his head and looked at Qi Han.

"I was wronged. I really didn't do it. I saw with my own eyes that a palace maid handed a packet of medicine to a mama. Oh right. She said that packet of medicine was called Heart Disorder Powder." Qi Han felt extremely aggrieved at this moment. He had clearly come to tell her out of good intentions. How did it become a plaything?

"Lost Heart Powder?" The Imperial Physician's expression changed again.

"What's wrong, Imperial Physician?" Duan Shuang immediately shifted his attention to the Imperial Physician.

"In order to verify whether there is any poison from the Heart Disorder Powder, we need to use a special medicine and blood. Before the person who was poisoned by the Heart Disorder Powder acted up, there was indeed no abnormalities, the Imperial Physician said." Jiegeng immediately answered Duan Shuang's question.

"Then what are you waiting for? Do you still not want to verify it?" Duan Shuang immediately ordered.

"Yes, this lowly subject will immediately send someone to the pharmacy to get the medicine."

After the medicinal powder was retrieved, the Imperial Physician dissolved it into the water before saying to Jiegeng, "Princess, I apologize for offending you."

Jiegeng nodded her head and immediately stretched out her hand.

The Imperial Physician pierced one of Jiegeng's fingers and let the drop of blood fall into the bowl that contained the medicinal liquid.

"How is it? Is it really poisoned?" Rani Yi anxiously asked.

The Imperial Physician had been observing the changes in the blood in the water closely. After the blood completely merged with the medicine, the Imperial Physician heaved a sigh of relief.

"The group leader was not poisoned." The Imperial Physician wiped the fine and dense beads of sweat that seeped out of his forehead.

"Fortunately, the Princess wasn't poisoned. This Heart Losing Powder is incurable. We can only wait for it to act up. Generally speaking, the Heart Disappearing Powder will act up after being consumed for two hours. When it breaks out, the poisoned person will act as if they have lost their mind. However, this type of poison could only last for three days. Once the effects of the pill expired after three days, this poison will automatically be cured. " Only now did the Imperial Physician calm down and explain to everyone.

" This person is so ruthless. Using this kind of poison, it is clear that he wants Jiegeng to lose her composure in front of everyone. " Rani Yi said angrily.

"Qi Han, where did you meet that palace maid and what did that mama look like?" Duan Shuang clenched his fists. There was actually someone who deluded themselves to frame Jiegeng under his nose.

Qi Han also heaved a sigh of relief, "Palace maid, mama is not tight anymore. Because I already know who the mastermind is."

"Who is it!" Shihan immediately asked first.

Duan Shuang immediately gave the Imperial Physician a look.

The Imperial Physician had been in the Palace for a long time, so he naturally knew that he had to protect himself and stay away from such secrets. "This lowly subject will take his leave first."

After the Imperial Physician left, Qi Han continued with Shihan's words.

"Princess Shihan, right now, I am not completely useless!" Qi Han had finally managed to succeed with great difficulty, and he was already secretly delighted in his heart.

"Alright, speak quickly!" Shihan did not have the time to joke with him now. She immediately used her hands to suppress him.

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll say it." Qi Han immediately surrendered. "You have to let me go first."

Only then did Shihan withdraw her hand.

"Ho Lingloong."

"It's her again!" When Jiegeng heard this name, she immediately felt as if her liver was rising.

"Originally, I touched that palace maid and mama at the back of the palace. I thought that it was a competition between consorts, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But who would have thought that this was actually used by Ho Lingloong to deal with you." Qi Han shook his head. "Ho Lingloong even grabbed that mama's family. Who would have thought that... That talented and gentle princess is actually like this."
