When the hand-pulled mutton rice was almost ready, Yan Bao was dragged by Chief Minister Shen to the emperor's palace. The emperor had already changed his clothes.
It happened that Chief Minister Shen was there, and the emperor wanted to hear more of Prince Chenyang's thoughts, so he gave Chief Minister Shen a look. The two of them now had a tacit understanding, and Chief Minister Shen knew what the emperor meant with just one look.
Shen Shoufu sighed in his heart, lowered his head and said to Yan Bao: “Yan Bao, dear daddy.”
Yan Bao was speechless: [Dad, why are you so clingy? Aren’t you afraid that the emperor will be jealous?]
Shen Shoufu was speechless, Dad didn't want to either, isn't it true that only if you kiss Dad can the dog emperor rub the mind reading skill?
Yan Bao agreed to every request and patted Prime Minister Shen on the face.
The emperor couldn't bear to watch it. Shen Shoufu, you are going too far. You show the father-daughter love again and again. Do you really think I am a decoration?
The emperor looked unhappy, but Chief Minister Shen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked in front of the emperor and stretched out his hand to him.
The emperor squeezed his hand without hesitation: "Shen Aiqing's hands are a little cold, you need to nourish them more, kidney deficiency is not good."
The implied Shen Shoufu almost bit the dog emperor to death. Who has kidney deficiency? He doesn't have kidney deficiency. The night before yesterday, his wife begged for mercy and praised his bravery. How could he be weak?
But the dog emperor hasn't summoned his concubines for several nights. I'm afraid he's feeling weak!
If the emperor knew that Prime Minister Shen had slandered him like this, he would probably be beheaded.
Fortunately, their inner drama didn’t last long, as King Chenyang arrived.
The emperor smiled and said, "I heard that Prince Chenyang likes the pilaf from the other palaces. I happened to make a lot today. Prince Chenyang, please have some more."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." King Chenyang looked at Prime Minister Shen and Yan Bao with a smile.
Yan Bao followed her father and saluted the King of Chenyang: [Oh, the big villain has appeared. Dad, you have to be careful of him. This prince is not a good person. If he becomes emperor, the first person he will go after is our Shen family.]
[He was the one who arranged the assassins before. He wants to be the emperor. Tsk, doesn't he think that the throne is so easy to become?]
[The current emperor is no fool. He treats me very well. I wouldn't be willing to change my leg. This King Chenyang is hostile to me. The way he looks at me is full of ill intentions.]
Shen Shoufu's heart was already in turmoil after hearing Yan Bao's words. Why did King Chenyang seek death?
Still dealing with the Shen family?
Chief Minister Shen sneered in his heart. Just based on this, Prince Chenyang can't even think about becoming the emperor.
The current emperor is a bit of a coward. He even wants to snatch my daughter from me. At least he doesn't want to deal with the Shen family for the time being.
The same cannot be said for King Chenyang.
Chief Minister Shen will not let King Chenyang succeed in his evil plan.
The emperor didn't know that Prime Minister Shen had already started preparing to deal with King Chenyang. He was listening to King Chenyang's thoughts. He looked down on Prime Minister Shen who "sold his daughter for fame" and cursed them for ruining his good deeds.
He also said that Yan Bao, the little mute, was destined to die young, and that he would wait for an opportunity to let the little mute die in the desert. Without this favored daughter, how long could the Shen family remain favored?
The emperor didn't expect that when Prince Chenyang saw Yan Bao again, he was going to attack her.
King Chenyang is so despicable for attacking a child!
Soon, the pilaf was served, emitting an enchanting aroma. Yan Bao couldn't help swallowing his saliva: [It smells delicious, why is it poisonous? What a waste!]
Yan Bao stared at the mutton in his hand, his mouth watering.
While swallowing his saliva, he muttered: [How can I let the emperor know that mutton is poisonous? ]
Prime Minister Shen was also thinking about how to resolve the crisis at hand, when he saw Eunuch Fu take out a silver needle and test the poison on the mutton and rice. After confirming that there was no problem, he served some to the palace servants who were testing the poison.
Yan Bao almost raised his hand to test the poison himself: [Alas, the only one that wasn't poisonous was eaten by a palace servant. He looked so happy while eating it, it must have tasted good. Slurp!]
Shen Shoufu: “….”
Looking at the remaining large bowl of rice and mutton, the rice had absorbed the soup, and each grain was plump and tasty. It looked delicious at first glance, and Yan Bao felt so distressed.
At the same time, I was wondering how the poison got into the rice. It was obvious that the palace maids who tested the poison ate it and were fine.
That is to say, the remaining rice was poisoned without anyone noticing after the first bowl of rice was served?
After realizing this, Yan Bao stared at the next person who touched the rice.
The palace maid who tested the poison was fine after eating, and soon Eunuch Fu was about to step forward to serve the emperor rice. Eunuch Fu had just taken a step when the palace maid who tested the poison suddenly bumped into him, and Eunuch Fu almost fell.
Yan Bao noticed with his sharp eyes that the palace maid who was testing the poison had grabbed Eunuch Fu's sleeve hard, and something was stained on it.
Yan Bao raised an eyebrow. "So that's how it is. It's really quite stealthy. The palace maid testing the poison deliberately bumped into Eunuch Fu, giving her an opportunity to take action. She sprinkled the poison on his sleeve. When Eunuch Fu was serving the emperor rice, the poison powder on his sleeve fell onto the rice, the bowl, the chopsticks, and the tea."
[The Emperor took it carelessly, no wonder he got poisoned.]
Chief Minister Shen also stared at Eunuch Fu's sleeves, which indeed had wrinkles from being grabbed.
Some powdery substance can be vaguely seen on it.
Just as Chief Minister Shen was about to think of a way to prevent the emperor from eating the poisoned mutton pilaf, he heard Yan Bao's inner voice: "It's a gift from someone, it can't be wasted. The emperor can't eat it, doesn't he have Prince Chenyang?"
Shen Shoufu raised his eyebrows, Yan Bao, what do you want to do?
Yan Bao had no idea her father had heard her thoughts. She smiled wickedly in her heart: [Tsk, King Chenyang is still holding a grudge against me because of the assassin incident and wants to teach me a lesson. He wants to trick me into the desert and feed me to poisonous snakes and scorpions.]
[He's planning such a great program for me, how can I not give something back?] Yan Bao used the substitute talisman to swap the emperor's mutton pilaf with the Chenyang King's mutton pilaf.
