In the imperial study room.

Mo Lingwei, wearing the prince's robe, was sitting on the main seat in the middle, chatting with seven or eight humerus ministers.

These ministers are all the confidants left by the emperor to the prince to cultivate well.

Everyone is around thirty-five years old. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, they will form a new circle of powerful ministers in Cangyun Kingdom.

Therefore, those old loyal ministers, such as Prime Minister Xie, General Chen and others, are not included in this list.

During today's meeting, in addition to ordinary conversations, Mo Lingwei also routinely asked them for their political opinions.

A circle of people sat and discussed politics, holding the prince in the center.

The eunuch came up with cups of fine Mingqian Longjing tea, and placed one in everyone's hand.

Mo Lingwei was listening to the Minister of Household Affairs' report on the main government affairs. He picked up the teacup at hand and had just skimmed off the foam before he could drink it.

Then I heard a sweet voice shouting from the door: "Don't drink!"

As soon as Mo Lingwei stopped moving, Shen Ningning had already barged in regardless of the eunuchs and forbidden troops' obstruction.

Several ministers put down the tea cups in their hands and stood up to greet the princess. There was doubt in everyone's eyes.

The imperial study is an important place for government affairs. If you break in without permission, you will be punished.

However, the other party was Princess Funing.

The imperial guards stood at the door, in a dilemma, but saw Mo Lingwei raise his hand to signal them not to act rashly.

He looked at Shen Ningning, and the girl rushed directly in front of him and took the tea cup from his hand.

Then, he poured the tea into the window sill next to him, and the beautiful hosta potted plant in bloom was showered with tea.

"Your Highness Princess, this is..." The Minister of Household Affairs was surprised.

Shen Ningning ran over, panting, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her white forehead.

A pair of beautiful black, round and moist eyes were full of nervousness.

She stood nearby, staring closely at the potted plant.

Mo Lingwei walked over and took his towel from nowhere: "Wipe it."

Shen Ningning didn't answer. The ministers gathered around curiously and stared at the potted plants together.

After a while, I saw that the hosta flower was quickly turning yellow to the point where it was visible to the naked eye.

Shen Ningning's heart sank: "The tea is really poisonous!"

The courtiers were shocked and turned around to look at the tea they had not drunk yet: "Poisonous?!"

Mo Lingwei frowned with sharp eyebrows.

The one who was most afraid was Master Taishi. He covered his neck with a look of panic.

"It's over! It's over! I was too thirsty just now and took a few sips."

The rest of the courtiers were even more frightened, and stayed away from him in groups.

The Minister of Hube asked hurriedly: "Tai Shi, how do you feel now?"

Taishi held his stomach and said, "There was a dull pain in my abdomen just now, and now the feeling seems to be more intense."

As he said that, he felt a cramping pain in his abdomen and knelt down directly.

Shen Ningning exclaimed, and Mo Lingwei protected her behind him, and immediately ordered in a cold voice: "Pass it to the imperial doctor! Whoever was responsible for the tea just now, please pass it on."

The imperial guards helped and carried Taishi, who was pale in pain, to the soft couch under the window.

The other courtiers were all frightened when they heard his ouch ouch calls.

This is the royal study room. Someone dares to poison here. I simply don’t want to live.

Before the imperial doctor arrived, Shen Ningning repeatedly grabbed Mo Lingwei's sleeve and asked him, "You didn't drink, did you? Not even a sip?"

Seeing that she cared so much about him, she finally no longer looked so cold. Mo Lingwei actually had the thought to smile warmly, and he repeatedly reassured her: "I didn't even drink a sip. You came in time, don't worry."

After saying that, he took the initiative to wipe away the beads of sweat on Shen Ningning's cheeks. The girl seemed to be frightened and did not resist his touch for the time being.

After a while, the imperial doctor arrived, and Mo Lingwei asked him to diagnose the Taishi's pulse first.

At the same time, the young eunuch who was responsible for serving tea and two palace servants were also interrogated.

The little eunuch's name was Blind Sheng, probably because his mother was a blind woman. After the little eunuch entered the palace, because he was clever, intelligent and loyal, he has been serving in Zichen Palace.

It can even be said that he is half of Mo Lingwei's confidant.

When he saw the blind student being brought up, even Mo Lingwei frowned in disbelief.

The blind student was frightened and his whole body was shaking.

The two palace men hurriedly distanced themselves from each other.

"His Royal Highness Prince Mingjian, the blind student has always been responsible for the tea service in the imperial study. We are only responsible for helping to burn firewood and make tea."

"Yes, Your Highness, just now the blind man was standing by the tea stove alone. The slaves really didn't know what he had done."

Mo Lingwei glanced at the blind student with stern eyes: "They are indeed right, right? Remember, you are responsible for every tea delivered."

This is done out of fear that someone is really up to something evil.

No matter how clever the blind student is usually, now his eyes are red with fear and his body is shaking like a fallen leaf in the wind.

"Your Highness, give me eight hundred courages, and I won't dare to poison you! It's true that the tea is made by me alone, but from making the tea to serving it, I'm all watching, and I don't do anything to anyone. But how dare I poison you and the adults!"

These are the prince and seven or eight humerus ministers!

If he really poisoned the country, it would be the future of Cangyun Country that would be harmed, and everyone from the entire nine tribes who were still alive would be implicated by him.

Blind and anxious tongue trembled.

The Minister of Household Affairs said angrily: "You are a naughty slave, you must be making excuses. Your Highness, I feel that if I send him to a violent cell and torture him severely, he will definitely confess."

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, and his dark brows revealed a strong chill.

Blind Sheng kept kowtowing: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is aware that in the presence of Princess Funu, I am willing to swear that if I poison you, I will be struck by thunder from the sky!"

The ministers looked at each other.

Ever since they saw Shen Ningning's abilities, no one in the entire Cangyun Kingdom dared to deny that she was a lucky girl.

She is the representative of the gods who remain in the mortal world. If he dares to swear a poisonous oath in front of her, is it really not him who did this?

Shen Ningning took a step forward and asked in a clear voice with seriousness: "Did you add anything to the tea?"

"No!" Blind Sheng quickly denied.

suddenly.

He reacted: "The slave did not add poison, but if the princess asks anything else, slave... slave..."

The blind student looked at the prince.

Mo Lingwei frowned slightly, but Shen Ningning had already looked towards him.

The girl looked confused: "Don't you dare say it?"

Blind Sheng was hesitating, and he was still somewhat confident just now, but now, his eyes kept glancing at Mo Lingwei's expression, not knowing whether he should say anything.

Shen Ningning suddenly had a guess.

She looked at Mo Lingwei suddenly, and she was more suspicious of him in her clear watery eyes.

When Mo Lingwei saw this, he knew that if he didn't explain, she might still suspect that he deliberately ordered the palace people to poison him as a cruel trick.

He frowned and sighed: "That's all, just tell them."

It wasn't something shameful in the first place.

Mo Lingwei refused to talk because he was afraid that the ministers and the emperor would be worried.

The blind student knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "I did add something to His Highness's cup, but it's not poison."
