Chapter 96: Itchy
Xie Guimo did not deny that it was his own fault. His eyes fell on Shen Tang's lips, and he looked as if he was still unsatisfied and had some plan. Shen Tang was filled with shame and anger. She would not feel sorry even if he itched to death later. What was even more infuriating was that she was planning to wait for Xiao Huan, but was dragged away by this bastard. Later, when Xiao Huan saw that she was not there, he went to Feng'an Palace. Her chance to ask about the birthmark slipped away.
Chen Tang was so angry that he stomped his feet. No, he stomped his feet. Chen Tang stepped on him and Xie Guimo's forehead trembled violently in pain. Chen Tang pushed him away and left quickly.
When Chen Tang returned to the banquet, Xiao Huan was sitting there talking to Old Prince Ning. Chen Tang greeted Xie Guimo in his heart and walked over to sit next to Chen Xian.
Chen Xi looked at her and asked, "Where have you been for so long?"
I thought Concubine Ye would call Chen Tang into the palace and teach her a lesson, but nothing has happened so far. It's really disappointing.
Chen Tang glanced at Chen Xian and said, "You didn't even accompany me to see the Queen Mother. Do you think you would accompany me if I go to wash my hands?"
Chen Xi said, "We've been at the banquet for half a day, and I haven't seen you drink a sip of water. Are you worried that there's something wrong with the tea?"
Shen Tang did have this worry, but she would definitely not admit it, "No, I'm not thirsty."
"Yeah?"
Chen Xi didn't believe that she wouldn't be thirsty after not drinking water for such a long time.
She picked up the tea and took a sip. Chen Tang glanced at her teacup and also picked it up.
Xie Guimo came in and sat down beside Prince Jingyang and Princess Jingyang. Princess Jingyang saw at a glance that his lip was bitten and a little red and swollen. He had just gone out with a bad complexion, and when he came back his complexion looked better, but his lip was bitten. What had he been doing when he went out?
There were people all around, and Princess Jingyang didn't know how to ask anything. She glared at her son and asked him to pay attention to her lifelong affairs.
Chen Tang picked up the teacup, but did not drink it. While Chen Ying was not paying attention, he poured out half of the tea. When the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion was dancing, he accidentally knocked over the fruit plate on the table. He cleaned it up in a hurry and swapped the two people's teacups in the chaos.
After the dance, Concubine Ye praised the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion highly, and the Emperor also thought that the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion danced well.
The Left Prime Minister is still in jail, and the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's mansion is still in the mood to show her talents. It is almost hopeless to overthrow the Left Prime Minister by cheating in the imperial examination.
Chen Xian served the tea, and Chen Tang just watched her drink it. She was not sure whether Concubine Ye had put drugs in the tea, so she asked Chen Xian to help her verify it. On that day, Chen Xian was plotted against by Princess Chun'an, and Chen Xian pushed her out. She followed suit today.
She just didn't know when the banquet would end. She was almost smoking with thirst. If she couldn't ask Xiao Huan today, all her suffering would be in vain.
Chen Tang glared at Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo was in a good mood, and when he noticed Chen Tang glaring at him, he even curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile.
Still laughing!
Let’s see if you can still laugh later!
Chen Tang sat there, admiring the talent while waiting for that bastard to explode.
Just waited for half a cup of tea, nothing.
After a cup of tea, still nothing.
Chen Tang's pretty eyebrows furrowed. Although the attacks in her previous life were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, they would occur at the latest within a quarter of an hour. Counting from the time the rockery kissed her, it had been going on for a long time. Why was there no reaction now?
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo again and again, but she didn't see anything unusual from him. Instead, Chen Xian beside her suddenly screamed "Ah", which almost scared Chen Tang, who was sitting next to her and was already absent-minded, to death.
Everyone looked over and saw Shen Xian scratching herself continuously, with her face, neck and hands covered with red rashes.
The second wife said anxiously, "Xier..."
The Queen sat there, frowning and asking, "What's going on?"
Chen Xi only felt an unbearable itchiness on her body, as if eight hundred ants were biting her. The pain was so severe that even though she bit her lips tightly, she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Concubine Ye looked at the table of Chen Tang and Chen Xi and said with concern, "Take him down to see the imperial physician quickly."
The second wife didn't want anyone to see Shen Xian's embarrassment, so she quickly helped Shen Xian up. Shen Tang hesitated for a moment and followed her.
In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Xian is her biological sister, born of the same mother. When her biological sister is in trouble, she, as her younger sister, still has the leisure to continue attending the banquet here. That is too inhumane.
Watching Chen Tang leaving, all the concern on Concubine Ye's face disappeared, leaving only coldness.
She had someone send Second Miss Shen to the Empress Dowager in Yongning Palace. She took a walk around Yongning Palace but didn't fall into the trap. She was fine because of the tea carefully prepared for her. But First Miss Shen fell into the trap. In such a big harem, no one could escape her calculations again and again. Second Miss Shen was really capable, which made her look at her with new eyes.
The Second Madam helped Chen Xi to the side hall. Chen Xi couldn't help scratching her neck and face, leaving several marks. The Second Madam held her hand tightly and said, "Don't scratch it, it will disfigure you."
Chen Xian struggled like crazy, "It's so itchy, I'm so itchy..."
Concubine Ye was determined to make Shen Tang look bad at the banquet, and to force him to show up, the poison she used must have been severe.
The Second Wife was heartbroken, but she held on too tightly and couldn't hold on by herself, so she asked the maid to help. Fortunately, the imperial physician came quickly and after giving her a needle of silver, Shen Xi's mood stabilized a lot.
The imperial physician felt Shen Xi's pulse, and the second wife asked, "Why did it happen so suddenly?"
The imperial physician said, "Poisoned..."
The second wife also suspected that Chen Xi was poisoned, but who would harm Chen Xi? It would be more likely to harm Chen Tang.
Chen Tang said, "Doctor, please help my elder sister get rid of the poison."
The imperial physician said, "This poison is a bit tricky and difficult to cure. I will prescribe some medicine to help suppress it..."
Is it hard to solve?
Very good.
The imperial physician went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and a palace maid brought tea over. Chen Tang's eyes moved, and he said, "Second Aunt, stay with my eldest sister. I'll go talk to my father so that he won't worry."
After saying hello, Chen Tang turned around and left, but he turned too quickly and bumped into a palace maid who was bringing tea. The palace maid was unable to avoid him and was knocked back by Chen Tang, and the tea she was holding fell to the ground.
Clang.
The teacup broke into pieces.
The tea was spilled all over the floor.
The maid's face turned green, "Tea!"
The second wife had an even uglier expression on her face. She had a guess in her heart that Concubine Ye must have failed in her plan to trap Chen Tang, which led to Chen Xiang falling into the trap. Concubine Ye had miscalculated the person and would definitely send the antidote. Judging from the palace maid's reaction, tea was the antidote.
Now that he’s been knocked over by Chen Tang, the antidote is gone!
The imperial physician's silver needles could not suppress the poison in Shen Xian's body. The Second Madam was not paying attention and another scratch mark appeared on the back of Shen Xian's hand. The Second Madam was so angry that she wanted to skin Shen Tang alive.
Chen Tang just apologized to the maid with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm really sorry for bumping into you by accident."
The palace maid didn't dare to show disrespect by spilling a cup of tea for Shen Tang. She could just make another cup, but there was only one portion of the antidote, and if it was spilled it would be gone.
The maid said, "I dare not..."
It’s good that you don’t dare.
Chen Tang covered his hurt arm and walked away.
