114. Chapter 114 (Part 2)



All the civil and military officials nodded in agreement. They had known the princess for so long and had never heard her speak loudly. Even when she was speaking seriously with a stern face, she spoke softly. She was like a woman made of water, making people want to hold her in their hands and respect her.

[It's a pity that they are all pretending. ]

The emperor, the empress dowager, and all the civil and military officials: "!!!"

No way? Are you pretending?

Especially the emperor and the empress dowager, who had watched the eldest princess grow up, could not believe that her gentleness was pretended.

If he was really pretending, he was too good at it. He could pretend for decades and hide it from everyone. It shows how terrifying this person is.

What the emperor and his men didn't understand the most was why the eldest princess pretended to be gentle in front of them?

The eldest princess turned around and found that the Queen Mother's eyes had changed when she looked at her.

"Mother? Is there something on my face?" She touched her face, not knowing what was wrong.

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, rubbed her eyes uncomfortably and said, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I feel a little sore in my eyes and a little tired."

"Are you feeling unwell? Let me take your pulse to see where you feel unwell." Mu Nanjin reached out and took her pulse.

Queen Mother: “…”

She said this to lie to the princess.

There was a flash of doubt in Mu Nanjin's eyes. His pulse was obviously strong and powerful, and he didn't seem to be uncomfortable, so why did he say he was tired?

The eldest princess asked, "Lord Mu, how is my mother's health?"

Mu Nanjin was not stupid enough to expose the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is just tired, there is nothing else wrong."

The princess breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay."

The Queen Mother looked at her with an exploratory look just now, and she thought she had revealed her true colors in front of the Queen Mother.

[She pretended so well that it's no wonder the emperor and the empress dowager couldn't discover her true identity.]

[If the Emperor and the Empress Dowager knew that the Princess wished them dead and cursed them every day in the Princess's mansion, I wonder what they would think.]

[Oh my god, today the princess wants to poison the queen mother. ]

The Emperor and the Queen Mother: "!!!!"

The two were shocked to hear this.

The Queen Mother, in particular, felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Although the eldest princess was born to the late emperor and an unknown woman, the woman died after giving birth to the princess, and she was the one who raised her with great difficulty.

She treated the eldest princess as if she were her own daughter, loved her and gave her the best things she could. She never treated the eldest princess unfairly in any way, and her own daughter was often jealous of her because of this.

Why did the eldest princess curse them to death? How did they do her wrong? The queen mother frowned. Could it be that the eldest princess knew that she was not her own child and that was why she had such a terrible idea?

But the only people who knew about this were the late emperor, her, and the emperor. Everyone else thought that the eldest princess was her biological daughter, so it was impossible for the eldest princess to know.

Seeing that the queen mother looked unhappy, the princess said with concern, "Mother, you don't look well. You should go back to the palace to rest. Eunuch Shou, why don't you help mother back and ask the imperial physician to check her pulse."

"yes."

Before Eunuch Shou left, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine."

If she left, she would no longer be able to hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Seeing that the Queen Mother insisted on staying, Eunuch Shou had no choice but to ask the guards to find the imperial physician.

Princess Rongyue was worried: "Grandmother, are you really okay?"

The emperor quickly stood up and came to the Queen Mother: "Mother, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother smiled at him and said, "It's just an old problem. It's nothing serious."

The emperor knew that the empress dowager was upset by Mu Nanjin's thoughts. He was anxious and angry, and wanted to grab the eldest princess by the collar and beat her up.

[The Queen Mother is clearly fine, why does she look so bad? Did the Princess poison the Queen Mother while I was noticing?]

[But even if she wanted to do it, she couldn't escape my sight. Could it be that she really didn't sleep well? ]

The eldest princess squatted down beside the Queen Mother and held her hand: "Mother, are you really okay?"

Suddenly, there was a loud slap and the eldest princess' hand was slapped hard.

"ah--"

The princess cried out in pain and looked at the person who hit her: "Lord Mu, why did you hit me?"

[If I say that the eldest princess wants to poison the queen mother, will you believe it? ]

The emperor, the empress dowager, and all civil and military officials: "..."

They would definitely not have believed it before, but after going through so many things, even if Mu Nanjin said that boars can lay eggs, they would believe it.

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "I just saw a poisonous mosquito on the back of the princess's hand and I couldn't help but slap it."

Everyone: “…”

The princess looked at the back of her hand that was slapped red and asked: "Where is the mosquito?"

"It flew away."

The eldest princess: “…”

The emperor said: "I also saw a mosquito on the back of your hand."

Since he said so, the princess no longer doubted it.

Mu Nanjin was surprised that the emperor would speak for her.

"Since the Queen Mother is not feeling well, you should stop gathering here and making her feel worse. Disperse."

The emperor quickly drove the eldest princess and others away, and those who originally wanted to come and visit the empress dowager also gave up the idea.

"It should be fine."

[As long as the princess is not around, everything will be fine. ]

Kan Chaoyan glanced at the eldest princess who was standing in the audience waiting anxiously: "It is said that when a son is beaten, the mother feels pain. In the current situation, the mother is hurt and the son feels pain. You see, the eldest princess is really filial. She stands in the audience with an anxious look on her face and is reluctant to leave."

[Haha, if you knew her purpose, you would know how unfilial she is. ]

Kan Chaoyan added: "I heard that the eldest princess was raised by the Queen Mother herself, and the Queen Mother loves the eldest princess the most."

[So what if she was brought up by her own hands? She is not her biological daughter. The emperor and the empress dowager always thought that the eldest princess did not know about this. Little did they know that when the eldest princess was five years old, someone told her that she was not the empress dowager's biological daughter.]

Everyone: “!!!!”

Isn’t the eldest princess the Queen Mother’s biological daughter?

All the officials were shocked.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager looked at each other in surprise.

The Queen Mother whispered to the Emperor, "Who told her?"

The emperor shook his head slightly: "If I knew about this, I would have arrested the person long ago."

"I think her attempt to poison me is related to the person who told me her background. Maybe she was the one who ordered it."

The emperor frowned and said, "It's possible that she wanted to do this herself."

The Queen Mother remained silent.

At this moment, she was too heartbroken.

How could she not be heartbroken when the child she raised as her own daughter wanted to poison her?

The emperor knew she was upset: "Mother, do you want to go back to your bedroom to rest?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "I still want to sit here and listen to what Mu Yatou has to say."

The emperor looked up and said to Eunuch Shou, "Is the imperial physician here?"

Eunuch Shou looked down the stage and saw the imperial physician hurriedly approaching with a medicine box. He said, "Here he is. The imperial physician is here."

While the imperial physician was feeling the empress dowager's pulse, the emperor turned around and gave Kan Chaoyan a look.

Kan Chaoyan understood what he meant.

He turned to Mu Nanjin and whispered, "Actually, I heard something."

Mu Nanjin asked: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that the eldest princess was not born to the Queen Mother, and the reason why the Emperor treated the eldest princess well was entirely because of the Queen Mother. The eldest princess also seemed to know that she was not the Queen Mother's biological daughter."

[Eh, Comrade Lao Kan also knew about this? Then he must not know who told the princess about this.]

Kan Chaoyan said unhappily, "Mu girl, why are you just eating and not chatting with me? It's so boring that I'm the only one talking. If you stop talking, I'll leave."

"say what?"

[Did I tell you that the princess knew that she was not the Queen Mother's biological daughter, and it was the King's Master of the Kingdom of David who told her? You wouldn't believe me if I told you, so why should I waste my breath? Sigh, it's really uncomfortable to know so many secrets but not be able to tell them. ]

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

If you don't say it, everyone will know, so you don't have to feel bad.

"puff--"

Mu Nanjin heard laughter and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw that Tian Yuan had regained his youthful appearance and the laughter seemed to come from him.

Mu Nanjin said to Kan Chaoyan: "I seemed to hear him laugh."

Kan Chaoyan turned around to look at Tianyuan who was drinking tea with a stern face and said, "You must have heard it wrong."

In fact, he heard it too.

Mu Nanjin frowned and said, "I did hear him laughing."

"Anyway, I didn't hear it. You can ask him if he's laughing."

Mu Nanjin glanced at the cold Tian Yuan and felt that it was useless to ask, so he kept silent.

The emperor and the empress dowager's expressions were even colder than Tian Yuan's.

I didn't expect that the national teacher of David Kingdom would interfere in the affairs of the Grand Duke, and he told this matter to the eldest princess when she was five years old. I don't know what the national teacher of David Kingdom is planning.

Kan Chaoyan also wanted to ask about the matter of David's national teacher and the eldest princess, but he was worried about arousing Mu Nanjin's suspicion so he did not continue the topic of the eldest princess.

The emperor sent someone to escort the empress dowager back to her bedroom. In order to prevent the eldest princess from coming into contact with the empress dowager, the people who escorted the empress dowager back to the palace were all his confidants. The eldest princess had no chance to come into contact with the empress dowager and finally had to leave and return to the viewing platform to watch the game.

Xu Cheng and Yang Bo's match was in the afternoon. They had been taught by Heitan that it was not easy for other eighth-level warriors to get the upper hand over them. In the end, they both won the match and entered the next day's competition.

After the 3:00 pm, the competition ended.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites found Kan Chaoyan and said, "Master Kan, Master Mu, all the masters and their families are having a banquet at the imperial manor. They specially sent me to invite the two masters to the imperial manor for a gathering."

Kan Chaoyan was puzzled.

In the past, the Jinyiwei would not be invited to banquets with civil and military officials, because the Jinyiwei worked for the emperor, and these things made the officials very unhappy, so the Jinyiwei seldom participated in the affairs of the officials, and the officials were not very willing to get close to them.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites looked at Mu Nanjin and said, "Master Mu, you won't refuse to show your respect, will you?"

Mu Nanjin glanced at Kan Chaoyan and said, "If he goes, I will go too."

She was not familiar with the officials and did not want to go there without anyone to talk to her.

Kan Chaoyan had no choice but to agree. After entering the imperial farm and seeing the officials and their families, he finally understood why the civil and military officials invited them to the banquet.
