The whole world wants to attack me

Chapter 166 The Heart-Abused Princess (17)

The Empress Dowager's family banquet was held at Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Aunt Consul led them into the apse, and someone took the food boxes from their hands.

Fusang heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras floating softly and melodiously in every corner of the palace.

Through the gaps in the doors and windows, one can faintly see the graceful figure of the dancing girl moving with the music.

Countless court ladies and eunuchs were busy, and the aunt consul arranged work for everyone, and everyone dispersed to go to work separately.

Fu Sang was assigned to the position of drug testing.

She needs to take a silver needle and poke it on each dish to see if the silver needle changes color to determine whether the food has been poisoned.

It has only been five years since Xiao Chen ascended the throne, and there are countless souls who died under his hands. Although they are all killed every time, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

Fusang thought that every time Xiao Chen had to test the food before eating or drinking, and then let the palace attendants try it again before he could eat it, he felt that it was really tiring to live so cautiously.

"Hey."

Suddenly someone tugged Fusang's sleeve.

She looked sideways, and saw a sweet-looking court lady standing beside her, holding a plate of golden-colored roasted pigeon in her hand.

"I'm a little upset. This is the chess concubine's dish. Could you please help me bring it up?"

"Ok?"

Fusang looked puzzled.

Can the palace servants who serve the dishes be changed temporarily?
Are you not afraid of drugging along the way?

"Good sister, please, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

The little maid was full of anxiety, regardless of whether Fusang responded or not, she directly stuffed the plate into Fusang's hands.

Fusang looked down at the fragrant pigeon meat in his hand.

With a wooden face, she squeezed the silver needle and poked it twice.

"Shiqi pigeon!"

The eunuch who served the food yelled loudly, and the voice of urging kept ringing.

Fusang secretly sighed.

Putting away the silver needle for drug testing, she followed the lined up maids into the resplendent banquet hall.

One step into it, as if you have come to another world.

The sound of silk and bamboo is suddenly clear, and there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air.

There were a lot of people in the banquet hall, and there were even more concubines dressed in fine clothes. Fusang couldn't recognize any of them as chess concubines at a glance.

Fortunately, there are leading eunuchs to guide the way.

Arriving behind the concubine Qi smoothly, Fusang put the plate in her hand on the table in front of her.

When she got up, she caught a glimpse of her slightly bulging belly out of the corner of her eye.

pregnant?

Didn't the plot say that Xiao Chen didn't leave any heirs until his death?

With the keenness of a first-time mother, the chess girl almost instantly felt that someone was staring at her belly.

She nervously protected her lower abdomen, raised her eyes and stared back.

But when he saw Fusang's face clearly, he shouted in surprise: "Is it you?"

The chess concubine suddenly stood up and pointed her fingers as slender as white jade at Fusang, who was still bending over: "You cheap maid! Who gave you the courage to sneak into Gyeongbokgung Palace!"

The sharp shout was abrupt and harsh.

The singing and dancing stopped suddenly.

Everyone's eyes fell on the chess concubine.

"Are you trying to do something evil and want to... assassinate His Majesty?"

As if she had found a suitable reason, Concubine Qi took several steps back protecting her stomach, and shouted exaggeratedly, "Come here! Protect the Emperor!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The word "assassination" was like thunder, and everyone screamed and dispersed.
