Ning Wan smiled helplessly. From the moment she opened the door of the Zhennan King's room through bad luck, she knew that she was not qualified to refuse.

From this look, it seemed that King Zhennan was hiding here because he didn't want people to find out that he was poisoned. However, she opened the door with her hands and saw King Zhennan's poisonous appearance.

Ning Wan bowed respectfully to Xiao Luoheng: "I will do my best to find a way to detoxify the prince."

If King Zhennan detoxifies, will he not die young? With King Zhennan here, will the second prince still ascend to the throne? Her Ning family would not have suffered the same fate as in their previous life.

Whether it was for the sake of the people of Jin or the Ning family, she would find a way to detoxify King Zhennan. She only hoped that King Zhennan would live for a few more years and not let the second prince Xiao Zhuorui ascend the throne.

On the other side, the eldest princess Xiao Mingwei took all the female family members at the table to the back mountain under the pretext of taking people to enjoy the flowers.

Then, Xiao Mingwei pretended to be surprised and said:

"Where is Mrs. Shen? Why haven't I seen her for so long? Send someone to look nearby quickly to find out what kind of clothes it takes so long to change into."

The other ladies whispered, as if they also felt something was wrong.

Princess Shunhua looked anxious. Where had this Ning Wan gone? She didn't leave anything for her before leaving.

"Immediately send someone to search nearby. Where has Mrs. Shen gone?"

Ning Wan was slightly startled when she heard Li Mingwei's voice in the next room, and looked at Xiao Luoheng.

Xiao Luoheng smiled slightly: "Mrs. Shen, go and do your own business!"

……

Waves of women's low sobs came from the room not far away, and the sound made all the female family members change their expressions.

One of the hot-tempered ladies was the first to speak: "What pair of wild mandarin ducks would dare to do such a thing at the Queen Mother's birthday party?"

Xiao Mingwei pretended to be angry: "I want to see who doesn't want to die."

Princess Shunhua looked around but didn't see Ning Wan. She tried to calm down and said, "Sister Huang, today is the birthday party of the emperor's grandmother. There is no need to make this kind of thing known to everyone!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. If you dare to do such a thing at a birthday banquet, you must be killed as a warning to others. Otherwise, it will only encourage this unhealthy trend."

Then he ordered the palace people to open the door with an angry look. The two people were escorted out by the palace people before they could put on their clothes. Some noble ladies covered their eyes.

When Xiao Mingwei saw that Ning Wan was not there, her expression immediately turned ugly.

"What's wrong with the eldest princess? Why does she look so ugly?" Ning Wan walked from the back of the crowd with a smile.

Xiao Mingwei immediately widened her eyes and pointed at Ning Wan: "You are not..."

Princess Shunhua felt relieved when she saw Ning Wan appear. She stepped forward and hugged Ning Wan's arm: "Sister Huang is worried about you and is sending people to look for you! Unexpectedly, two wild mandarin ducks were discovered."

"What are you doing standing here?" The emperor looked coldly when he saw this scene.

"See you, Your Majesty!" The others knelt down and saluted.

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor then glanced at the two people who were kneeling on the ground: "Both of them will be killed with sticks!"

Hearing this, the woman on the ground suddenly became frightened. She cried and kowtowed: "Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

The man also knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, this slave really doesn't know anything. This slave was wronged. I was changing positions at the time and was knocked unconscious."

The woman desperately grabbed the hem of Xiao Mingwei's skirt: "Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess, please save this slave, please... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone covered her mouth and dragged her down.

Concubine Li was wearing a cherry red floor-length dress and a luxurious phoenix hairpin. She was shining brightly under the sunlight. She walked slowly to the emperor and saluted: "I have met the emperor!"

The emperor helped Concubine Li: "Why are you here?"

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is about to begin. Why does the Emperor need to worry about such a thing? Let me handle it here!"

The emperor nodded, and the others retired.

When only Xiao Mingwei and Concubine Li were left, "mother, concubine, son and minister..."

"Pa!" Xiao Mingwei's face was hit and she turned her head.

Xiao Mingwei covered her beaten face with her hands, her face full of disbelief: "Concubine..."

Concubine Li had a cold face and stared at Xiao Mingwei with sharp eyes: "Don't implicate me and your brother if you make a mistake yourself. Ning Wan is the eldest daughter of the Ning family, and the Ning family is famous for loving their daughters.

The young masters of the Ning family are not economical. Is it possible that you want the Ning family to be an enemy of your brother?

If I hadn't come early and sent someone to cover the maid's mouth, you would have been raped. It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not. In everyone's mind, it is you who wants to harm Ning Wan. "

Concubine Li felt uncomfortable seeing Xiao Mingwei like this, and continued to comfort her: "I know that you wanted to marry Ning Yuhang but were rejected by the Ning family.

The prince-in-law was unlucky and left early. You felt unhappy, so you held a grudge.

I have turned a blind eye to everything you have done in the past two years, but it would be foolish to do such a thing at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

If you really want to do something, when your second emperor brother takes the throne, the Ning family will not be left to your disposal. When the time comes, it will not be up to you to decide how to deal with Ning Yuhang and the Ning family. "

Xiao Mingwei secretly lowered her eyes, concealing the evil look in her eyes, and said obediently: "Mother and concubine, this matter is something I did not consider."

Concubine Li sighed: "It's good if you can understand my mother's painstaking efforts. Let's go, I have to go and celebrate your grandmother's birthday."

Princess Shunhua pulled Ning Wan to the table. Soon after, the servants announced from outside the hall: "The Emperor has arrived!" "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The royal concubine has arrived!"

"The Concubine Xian has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen the emperor, the queen mother, the noble concubine, and the virtuous concubine!"

The emperor helped the Queen Mother sit on the chair, and then sat down again: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, there is no need to be formal. Just stay flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone sat down one after another.

Ning Wan secretly observed the people at the birthday banquet.

Concubine Li was wearing a cherry red dress, and the bright red crocodile was even more eye-catching. Sitting next to the emperor, she looked even more graceful and luxurious.

The eldest princess Li Mingwei and the second prince Xiao Zhuorui are both children of Concubine Li. In recent years, Concubine Li has been favored continuously.

The Li family has been rising rapidly. People in their thirties look like they are in their early twenties. There are no wrinkles on their faces, and they are eye-catching.

The Queen Mother's usually serious face also became a little more joyful.

Next came the gift-giving part. Several princes competed for their beauty. The gift Ning Wan picked represented the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, so the gift she picked would not be too outstanding.

An announcement from the chamberlain came from outside the hall: "The envoy from Southern Xinjiang has arrived!"
