As soon as Empress Dowager Chaharan finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Yesugan.
Ye Sugan's expression changed slightly. He was indeed worried whether there was a trick hidden in the barbecue, but now that he was directly named by the Queen Mother, he had to respond with caution.
"The barbecue prepared by the Queen Mother herself is naturally delicious." Ye Sugan forced a smile, trying to hide his uneasiness, "It's just that my appetite is not good tonight, and I'm afraid I've let the Queen Mother down."
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Chaharan raised her eyebrows slightly. She naturally saw through Ye Sugan's concerns. To dispel his doubts, the Queen Mother stood up, walked to the barbecue grill, cut off a piece of venison with her own hands, and handed it to Ye Sugan.
"Since the Right Wise King has a poor appetite, let me first taste the barbecue for you." As she said this, the Queen Mother was about to put the venison into her mouth.
Ye Sugan was shocked when he saw this. He hadn't expected the Queen Mother to act this way. If the barbecue was truly poisonous, wouldn't the Queen Mother be in trouble? He looked at the Queen Mother with a complicated expression, his heart full of conflict.
However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Queen Mother Chaharan did not hesitate to put the venison into her mouth and savored it carefully. After a moment, she nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "This barbecue is indeed delicious. Youxian Prince may wish to give it a try."
Seeing the Queen Mother eating the barbecue safely, Ye Sugan's worries immediately dissipated. He took the barbecue from the Queen Mother and took a big bite. Then he praised, "The Queen Mother's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. This barbecue is really delicious."
Seeing this, Queen Mother Chaharan smiled with satisfaction. She knew that her actions had successfully dispelled Yesugan's doubts and made everyone present trust her even more.
Watching the interaction between Queen Mother Chaharlan and Yesugan, Zhahemu, the Left Wise Prince, secretly admired her wit. He stood up, walked to the barbecue grill, cut off a piece of venison, and tasted it.
"Hmm, this taste," said Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu after savoring it carefully, "seems to contain the craftsmanship of my princess." He looked at Queen Mother Chaharan with inquiry in his eyes.
Queen Mother Chaharan smiled slightly and nodded in confirmation, "Prince Zuo Xian has a good palate. This is indeed the barbecue method that Princess Ninghu taught me. She said it's the style of the Great Zhou. I think it's quite unique, so I tried making it for everyone to try, hoping to bring some freshness to everyone."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu burst into laughter. "No wonder this barbecue is so unique! It turns out it incorporates the flavors of the Great Zhou. Princess Ninghu is truly a treasure of our Western Rong. Not only is she beautiful and intelligent, she's also so talented."
Everyone echoed and expressed their admiration for Princess Ninghu's talent and Queen Mother Chaharan's craftsmanship. The atmosphere of the banquet became more lively and the previous tense atmosphere was swept away.
Ye Sugan listened to everyone's praises from the side, but he still did not let his guard down. After finishing the venison on the plate, he lost his appetite and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Yesugan stood up and was about to say goodbye to Empress Dowager Chaharan and Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu, but suddenly he felt a severe abdominal pain.
His face turned pale in an instant, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body bent involuntarily, as if to relieve the sudden pain.
"Right Wise Prince, what's wrong with you?" Queen Mother Chaharan was the first to notice that something was wrong with Yesugan, and she asked hurriedly.
Ye Sugan opened his mouth, but no words came out. He felt his limbs weaken, his vision went black, and his body was shaky.
Everyone gathered around. Zhahemu, the Left Wise King, frowned. He quickly glanced at the barbecue and wine glass in front of Ye Sugan, then said in a deep voice, "Quickly call a doctor! The Right Wise King might have been poisoned."
The whole audience was shocked when these words were spoken. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief that a poisoning incident could have occurred at such a grand banquet.
Empress Dowager Chaharan was shocked and felt a chill in her heart. She had long known Li Yunting's intentions and understood her ambition to use her to eliminate the Right Wise King.
She would not be easily manipulated by Li Yunting, so the barbecue sauce she carefully prepared did not contain any toxins.
Ye Sugan's consciousness gradually became blurred. He felt as if he was being swallowed by a dark force, and his body became heavier and heavier.
Before losing consciousness, he vaguely heard the cries of Empress Dowager Chaharan and the orders of Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu.
Doctors rushed to the scene, but despite their best efforts, they were helpless in the face of this sudden and deadly poison.
Ye Sugan's condition deteriorated rapidly. His face turned from pale to purple. It was obvious that the poison had penetrated deep into his body and was irreversible.
Everyone looked in horror as Ye Sugan's body twisted in pain on the ground. His lips had turned purple and his eyes were suddenly bleeding, wide open, as if accusing this unprovoked disaster.
At that moment, the entire banquet venue fell into deathly silence, with only Ye Sugan's painful groans echoing in the air.
Empress Dowager Chaharan and Prince Zhahemu of the Left stood aside with solemn expressions. They looked at the doctor and shook their heads helplessly, knowing in their hearts that Yesugan could no longer be saved.
Chaharan felt mixed emotions. Although she was wary of Ye Sugan, she never thought he would die in this way.
Ye Sugan's moans gradually weakened and finally disappeared.
At this moment, Li Yunting's sudden intrusion and crazy accusations made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were wide open, filled with fear and anger, and she pointed trembling fingers at the Queen Mother Chaharan and the Left Xian Prince Zhahemu, her voice shrill and trembling: "It was these two, it was these two who poisoned the Right Xian Prince!"
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change. For a moment, all eyes were focused on Li Yunting, Queen Mother Chaharan and Zuo Xian Wang.
The followers of the Right Wise King had already excitedly drawn the scimitars at their waists, ready to wait for an opportunity to avenge their master.
However, some people present hurriedly stopped them and loudly defended Empress Dowager Chaharan and Zuo Xian Wang.
"Wait a minute! Think about it, everyone. The Queen Mother tasted the venison herself, and we all ate it, so why are we all fine?" The man's words were loud and clear, and everyone felt that what he said made sense, and their doubts were slightly reduced.
Nurhadu was paying close attention to the developments on the field. He looked around but did not see Doziger, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
He quickly stood up and vigilantly protected his father, Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu, to prevent any accidents.
Li Yunting obviously would not give up. She walked quickly to the seat where the Right Wise King Yesugan had just sat, pointed her finger tightly at the dinner plate on the table, and told everything in a sharp and painful voice.
"The poison wasn't placed on the grilled meat, but was carefully smeared on the inside of the plate. Therefore, only the Right Wise King would be poisoned and die after eating it!"
Her words were as cold as the wind, pointing directly at Empress Dowager Chaharan and Prince Zuo Xian, intending to pin the blame for the poisoning on them.
