Chapter 147 Jiang Yinyue, you dare to threaten me
Jiang Yinyue said some auspicious words to the Queen Mother, and asked Li Suining to drink a cup of milk with the Queen Mother. The atmosphere was very good. Obviously, because of the Prince, the Queen Mother was particularly enthusiastic towards them, mother and daughter.
However, Jiang Yinyue was somewhat surprised that Lou followed him forward but was not in a hurry to show off. She just drank a glass as a guest.
Soon, they returned to their seats together.
Before sitting down, Lou's eyes swept across Qian's face. Seeing Qian nod slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Finally, it's all over.
After Jiang Yinyue sat down, she glanced at the food in front of her without any expression. Then, she turned her head to look at the little girl beside her.
Little Dumpling reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Jiang Yinyue's clothes, and there was a bit more heartache in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Be good!" Jiang Yinyue touched the little guy's head and began to eat slowly.
For a moment, Lou and Qian almost forgot to breathe, because they knew that the food in front of Jiang Yinyue had been poisoned. Jiang Yinyue... would definitely die, but not immediately, but... at least two hours later, after they left the palace.
However, no one expected that at this moment, Jiang Yinyue suddenly covered her stomach with her hands, looking very painful, "It hurts... My stomach hurts so much..."
In just a few breaths, her face had turned pale, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her body was somewhat out of control. Her arm, which had been placed on the table, began to wave uncontrollably due to the pain, and she swept the food on the table to the ground.
A loud "whoosh" sound attracted everyone's attention.
Lou and Qian were so frightened that they stood up.
"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?" The little girl's eyes immediately turned red with anxiety, and big tears kept rolling in her eyes.
Lou and Qian looked at each other in horror, with shock in their eyes, but more of confusion and panic.
Lou immediately leaned over and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"I..." Jiang Yinyue opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out, spraying into the main hall of Kunning Palace.
For a moment, everyone's faces changed color with fear, and some people even couldn't help but scream.
"Poison!" Wei Ranzhu, standing opposite him, shouted in horror, "The Prime Minister's wife has been poisoned!"
"It's you!" Li Suining immediately pointed at Lou, "It was you who instructed Qian to poison my mother. It was you who wanted to poison my mother!"
"I...I didn't..." Lou immediately denied it in panic. She subconsciously looked up at Shangguan Jinglan, who was still in shock, and said, "Your Majesty, it wasn't me."
The queen's face turned ashen in an instant. If anyone dared to poison someone at her banquet, it would be so audacious that he would deserve death even if he had ten lives.
She walked down a few steps and came to Jiang Yinyue's desk, "Madam Jiang, how are you? Someone, call the imperial physician!"
She looked at Li Suining with some confusion, obviously wondering if she had just heard it wrong. Why did the daughter of the general's mansion call the wife of the prime minister's mansion "mother".
Jiang Yinyue was clearly enduring immense pain. She gasped for breath and looked at Madam Lou with a sorrowful expression. "Madam Lou, you... are truly so vicious. Why did you instruct Madam Qian to poison me?"
"I... I didn't!" Lou was really going crazy. She didn't understand why Jiang Yinyue and Li Suining insisted that it was her who instructed Qian.
However, Jiang Yinyue refused to listen to Lou's explanation and turned to Shangguan Jinglan, "Your Majesty, I beg... I beg you to search Qian's body. If she was the one who just poisoned her, then... the poison must still be in her body."
Upon hearing this, Qian's legs went limp with fear, and she fell to the ground. Her face was filled with fear, and she stammered in denial, "It wasn't me, Madam, it wasn't, Your Majesty, it wasn't...it really wasn't me."
Shangguan Jinglan was furious. Seeing Qian's reaction, how could she not understand the truth? She shouted coldly at the maid beside her, "What are you still standing there for? Search!"
Then, she looked at Lou coldly, wishing she could tear her into pieces. "Lou, you are so brave!"
"Queen, please spare me, Queen, please spare me!" Lou immediately knelt before Shangguan Jinglan and kowtowed frantically. "This matter truly has nothing to do with me. Please, Queen, please investigate!"
The Queen sneered, "It has nothing to do with you? Could it be that a servant of the Qian family would take it upon herself to poison the mistress of the house? Do you think your words are credible?"
"Empress, Qian did this..." Lou saw that the poison had been found in Qian's body, and she just wanted to get herself out of it. "Empress, Qian did this for her own reasons..."
"Empress!" No one expected that at this moment, Jiang Yinyue, supported by Xiaotuanzi, actually walked out from behind the table and knelt tremblingly in front of Shangguan Jinglan, "Empress, please make the decision for me!"
Shangguan Jinglan's expression changed slightly. "Madam Jiang, what are you doing? If I find out today that it was the Lou and Qian families who wanted to kill you, I will naturally make them pay the price."
Lou was still kowtowing frantically, saying that the matter had nothing to do with her, while Qian was so frightened that her whole body was paralyzed and she couldn't utter a word.
"Empress, this matter... I'm afraid it won't be that simple!" There was still blood at the corner of Jiang Yinyue's mouth. As soon as she said this, tears fell down.
Shangguan Jinglan frowned and said nothing, obviously guessing something.
At this time, news came from outside that the imperial physician Wen Yuanzhang had arrived.
"Doctor Wen, come and check on Madam Jiang. She might have been poisoned." The Queen immediately ordered.
"Yes." Wen Yuanzhang stepped forward immediately. A maid next to him handed him the poison that had just been found on Qian. He took it and smelled it. His face changed instantly and he hurried over to check on Jiang Yinyue's condition.
"No... no need..." Jiang Yinyue said weakly, looking at Shangguan Jinglan with a very determined gaze, "Please... Queen... make the decision for me! Otherwise, I will give up my worthless life... today!"
The Empress's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, and she patiently advised, "Madam Jiang, the poison you've been poisoned with is probably not simple. If you delay, you'll only hurt yourself. You'd better let Imperial Doctor Wen treat you right away!"
“No…” Jiang Yinyue continued to shake her head. “If… the Empress… is unwilling to help me, then… then let me… die.”
"You!" Shangguan Jinglan was obviously unhappy and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Yinyue, are you threatening me?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty dare not." Jiang Yinyue spoke weakly. She was too weak to kneel anymore and slumped to the ground, half of her body leaning on Li Suining.
The Queen snorted coldly, "Don't dare? I think you are very brave!"
She was obviously extremely angry. After she finished speaking, she ignored Jiang Yinyue and turned to walk back to her seat.
