What? Playing games can also save your husband

After the guests took their seats, rows of well-trained servants brought the exquisite dishes to the table one by one in an orderly manner.

When each dish was served, the eunuch beside the little emperor would first carefully test it with a silver needle. After confirming that it was non-toxic, he would taste it himself. Only after he was sure that it was safe would the little emperor feel at ease to start eating.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast! Your Majesty, I am honored to have you here today!"

Qin Xizong filled a glass of wine for the little emperor with a flattering face, then respectfully raised his own glass and toasted the emperor.

"Prime Minister Qin, you are too kind. You have served in the court for decades and have made outstanding contributions and achievements. This time, your family is celebrating a happy event, so I should come and congratulate you."

The emperor responded with a smile and a gentle tone.

As he spoke, he slowly raised his glass and said, "I drink this glass of wine today. I wish everything goes well for Prime Minister Qin, especially for your beloved daughter who you took so much trouble to bring back. I hope she can find a good husband and wife soon."

When mentioning Mo Chen, the little emperor's gaze lingered on her for a moment with deep meaning, and then he glanced towards the direction where Luo Yunche was seemingly casually.

Mo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help blushing. Why did Luo Junche tell everything to others?

"Then I will take advantage of your Majesty's good wishes." Qin Xizong had a happy look on his face and raised his hand to drink up the wine in the glass.

After he toasted, it was not enough for him and he immediately turned his attention to Mo Chen.

"Xianxian, you are also one of the protagonists today, and His Majesty just said words of blessing for you, so you should also toast His Majesty."

"Father is right." Mo Chen gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Xizong where no one could see. This old man was about to rebel but was still pretending to be a grandson.

Mo Chen turned his head, and the expression on his face changed instantly. After the little emperor finished his glass of wine, the maidservant who was serving him had already tactfully refilled it for him.

The corners of Mo Chen's mouth twitched slightly, outlining a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, I am not very good at speaking, and I can't say anything nice to thank you, so let this glass of wine do it for me. Everything I want to say is in the wine. I'll drink it up, Your Majesty, please do as you please." After saying that, Mo Chen raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Okay! Miss Qin has a forthright personality, I like her, I won't say much, it's all in the wine!"

The little emperor showed his first sincere smile of the day on his face.

This Miss Mo is indeed different. I knew her from other people before, but now I see with my own eyes that she is indeed an extraordinary woman. No wonder Luo Yunche, who is not interested in women, has fallen.

After coaxing the emperor, Qin Xizong took Mo Chen out to toast at each table, but she was the one drinking, and Mo Chen was just taken out to introduce him to people.

Luo Yunche was sitting only a few tables away from where Mo Chen had sat before, so they quickly walked to Luo Yunche's place.

However, because there were so many people around, Mo Chen did not communicate too much with him. They just exchanged a few glances secretly and then followed Qin Xizong away.

On the surface, Qin Xizong seemed to have drunk a lot, but in fact, Mo Chen knew that the servant behind him who was pouring wine for him had no wine in the pot, but only water.

As Qin Xizong finished his toast, the atmosphere at the table reached a climax.

But gradually strange things began to happen.

Regardless of whether they drank or not, or whether they drank a lot or a little, everyone began to feel dizzy.

"Did I eat too much? Why do I feel like I'm a little dizzy from eating so much?"

A guest shook his head and said confusedly.

"I think you've drunk too much. Food dizziness isn't the symptom of this." Another guest retorted.

"Nonsense, I think you're the one who's drunk too much, I clearly didn't touch any alcohol at all!"

"Really?" The guest opened his eyes wide, but his gaze was unfocused and he was obviously unable to think normally.

This scene gradually spread, and soon many people fell on the table.

"What do you mean? Why are they all down?!"

The guests who were still able to maintain their strength noticed this strange scene and started shouting anxiously, "Someone, come and find a doctor! So many people are dying!"

However, after they quarreled for a long time, the servants in the prime minister's mansion seemed not to hear it and ignored it.

"Isn't there poison in this food?"

Soon those customers who had not yet fainted began to realize that something was wrong.

"Prime Minister Qin, what do you mean by this? Are you going to poison all of us?!"

"The emperor is still here, are you trying to usurp the throne?!"

These officials were all smart people and they quickly understood the purpose behind Qin Xizong's actions.

"Hahahaha! You guys are really smart. You guessed it so quickly."

Seeing that these people were trying hard to cheer up, Qin Xizong finally stopped pretending.

The only table where nothing was wrong was the one where the little emperor was sitting. The people around the emperor would carefully check everything that went into his mouth, but other people were not so particular, so except for that table, the food on other tables had been tampered with.

This medicine will only take effect half an hour after taking it. No matter how strong your body is, you will feel weak all over once the medicine takes effect. People with poor physical condition may even faint.

After realizing that something was wrong, the guards around the little emperor instantly surrounded him and took a defensive stance, while the remaining guards drew their swords and quickly attacked Qin Xizong.

Just when the guards were about to surround him, a group of people suddenly rushed out from all directions, protected Qin Xizong behind them, and formed a counter-encirclement situation.

"Prime Minister Qin, what do you mean? Are you really interested in my position?"

Faced with the sudden change in the situation, the little emperor did not show a trace of panic on his face. Instead, he looked at Qin Xizong with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Mo Chen sat quietly in his seat, looking as if he was watching a good show, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Haha, who doesn't want to be the emperor? I've been sitting here for so long, I'm tired of it. I want to move up, and there's only one position above me. Your Majesty, you got your position by robbing, so why can't I also rob it once and enjoy it myself?"

As Qin Xizong spoke, the expression on his face became increasingly ferocious, his ambition evident in his expression.

"I have been preparing for this moment for a long time, Your Majesty. To be honest, the entire capital has been surrounded by my people, so I advise you not to make any unnecessary struggles. If you are willing to write a decree of succession, I can still be kind enough to spare your life."

"Ah."

The emperor smiled contemptuously upon hearing this, "Prime Minister Qin, you are too confident. How can you be sure that I have not made any preparations?"

After saying this, the emperor's face turned cold and an overbearing aura emanated from his body.
