1487. Chapter 1487 New Year's Banquet

The banquet in the Hall of Preserving Harmony was very smooth, although there were some ministers in the court who were slightly concerned about Ye Zhen's appearance. After all, no queen had ever attended a banquet in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. The banquet in the Hall of Preserving Harmony belonged to the outer dynasty. As a queen, The banquet should have been held in the harem, but they all knew the temper of the current emperor, if they dared to say no, they would not have to appear in the Palace of Preserving Harmony in the future.

Ye Zhen didn't pay attention to the faces of the ministers below. Anyway, she is no longer the same as before. No matter who is dissatisfied with seeing her here, they can only hold back and can't say a word.

In fact, she didn't bother to observe who was dissatisfied with her appearance here, she was still thinking about the pill that Mrs. Pei gave her just now.

How did Lu Tingzhi get something that even Zhong Yue couldn't find?

Ye Zhen already suspected that the purpose of Lu Tingzhi's return was impure, but now that he took out this pill, she had even more reason to doubt it.

But what exactly does Lu Tingzhi want to do? If he had something to do with the pill, he shouldn't have given the pill to Mrs. Pei for her.

Can't figure it out...

"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan noticed that she was absent-minded beside him, reached out to hold her little hand, and looked down at her worriedly.

"I'm fine." Ye Zhen smiled back at him.

Murong Zhan gave her a deep look, knowing that she must have something on her mind, but now is not the time to tell him.

It wasn't until the evening that the banquet was over, and Ye Zhen took Mingyu, who was already drowsy, back first.

Not long after she returned to Yongshou Palace, Murong Zhan came back. He dismissed all the maids serving in the dormitory, and sat beside Ye Zhen, "I was thinking about everything at the banquet, and my mind was absent."

"Didn't Zhong Yue give me a handkerchief? I melted those bloodstains in water to find out the formula, but there was only a little bloodstain and it was not easy to find. I could only smell a strange fragrance. Today my mother gave me a brocade box." , said that Lu Tingzhi asked her to give it to me." Ye Zhen pulled Mo Rongzhan and whispered, and took out the brocade box to him.

When Mo Rongzhan heard her mention Zhong Yue's handkerchief, his face was already serious, and when he opened the brocade box and saw the contents inside, and the whole dormitory full of seductive fragrance, his face became even uglier.

"How could Lu Tingzhi have this?" Mo Rongzhan gently placed the brocade box on the table.

"I don't know." Ye Zhen stared at the pill, "I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow to see what the formula is."

Mo Rongzhan frowned, "This thing is too poisonous, don't touch it."

"I know." Ye Zhen nodded slightly, and closed the box.

"One more thing..." Murong Zhan said in a low voice, "A Yi told me just now that the eldest princess of Qi State and Cheng Zheng are coming to the capital, and they should arrive in two days."

Ye Zhen raised her head in surprise, "Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng? What are they doing here?"

Murong Zhan said in a deep voice, "It's probably because of Zhao Ning's business."

"Isn't Zhao Ning and Ah Yi on good terms now?" The two of them entered the palace together today, the way Ah Yi looked at Zhao Ning, everyone could tell that he liked her, Zhao Ning couldn't have felt it of.

"Even if they came here for Zhao Ning, the one who should be troubled is Yi, and it has nothing to do with us." Murong Zhan said lightly.

Ye Zhen shot him a look, "That's your brother."

"So what? My own princess can't be coaxed well, do you blame me?" Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly.

"The arrival of Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng is not necessarily a bad thing." Ye Zhen smiled, "We'll talk about it when they arrive."

...

...

Compared with Ye Zhen's calmness, Murongyi is the most troubled person now. He is really worried that Princess Qi will take Aning away when she arrives this time. It has been so many days, and Zhao Ning seems to be still No intention of forgiving him.

"A Ning, what kind of person is the Princess of Qi?" Murongyi didn't ride a horse, so he insisted on riding in the same carriage with Zhao Ning, so that they would have more time to spend together, and he could ask clearly about that. What is Zhao Rao like?

"Very powerful." Zhao Ning only found out that Zhao Rao was coming this morning. Ever since she told Murongyi about it, he was restless. Even at the banquet just now, he was hesitant to speak. stared at her.

She even thought it was funny.

However, she didn't laugh out loud. During this time, Murongyi pestered her facelessly every day. Sometimes it was really annoying to think about it. She liked that when he missed him, he left and refused in Nanyue. When she came back, when she was as calm as water to her, he came to pester her again.

In the morning when she heard that Zhao Rao was coming to the capital city, she was nervous at the first moment. After going through so much, she was still reluctant to leave.

Murongyi didn't know what Zhao Ning was thinking, he only knew that the sister-in-law he was going to face would be terrible.

"A'Ning, then...then do you know what my sister-in-law is here for?" Murong Yi cautiously probed.

"I haven't seen her yet, how do I know what she's going to do?" Zhao Ning glared at him, "Are you guilty?"

Murongyi looked downcast, "I'm afraid, Aning, can you say a few more nice things about me in front of my sister-in-law?"

"Why should I say good things for you?" Zhao Ning glanced at him, "How can you be worthy of my good words?"

"A-Ning..." Murongyi looked at her pitifully, "I've changed my ways, and I don't even look at other women. I only like you."

Zhao Ning's cheeks were flushed, and he pushed away Murong Yi who was sitting closer and closer, "Why didn't I see it?"

"I don't care, I won't let you leave anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go." Murong Yi hugged her tightly in his arms, determined to be sloppy to the end.

"Let go." Zhao Ning yelled angrily.

Murongyi hugged him tightly. He found that every time he talked to Zhao Ning about leaving the real topic, she didn't want to talk to him. She wanted her to talk to him more, so she could only say something she was interested in, "Last time you Said that there was something wrong with the people around me, so I sent someone to South Vietnam to investigate."

Zhao Ning was really attracted, "The result?"

"Only one of the housekeepers was found to be bribed by the surnamed Sun, which revealed...the news about the two women, and the others were not found out." Murongyi said in a low voice.

"There is no problem with anyone in the Wangfu." Zhao Ning frowned, always feeling that this person is still in the Wangfu and hiding very deeply, "Who do you think is the most suspicious?"

Murongyi glanced at her, "Ah Ning, the people who are checking are all people around me now, could it be... people around you?"

"You doubt me?" Zhao Ning looked at him in surprise.

"I'm not suspicious of you, but of this person's purpose." Murongyi said in a low voice, "Didn't you find out? Ever since you sent Yin Dong away, didn't you find out that person hasn't moved?"

Think about it carefully, it seems so.
