Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 14 Banquet Chaos
Shang Kelan's expression tightened, wondering if his brother and father had come?She lowered her head to restrain her emotions, and took a spoonful of rock sugar chowder to eat.

"His Majesty is here!"

With this sound, Jin Yantang also came to the place of the banquet.

"Your Majesty, how does this rock sugar chowder taste?" Xiao Xia quietly approached, and couldn't help but ask.

"The taste is average. It's just some sugar water with melons and fruits. If there's anything good about it, it's better to say that the ice has a slight cooling effect."

Xiaoxia nodded. The four sisters were assigned to follow Shang Kelan. They were carefully selected and each had their own skills. She was better at eating, while Wen Chun was martial arts, Zhiqiu was medical skills, and Wan Dong was Fragrance of cosmetics.

It's just that although they have the training and talent in this area, they are still young. Right now, the two concubines in the palace are surrounded by elderly nuns, and they are slightly inferior in terms of scheming.

The rituals and music of the banquet were carried out one by one like flowing water, Shang Kelan only felt a little drowsy, except for a few slices of pickled meat on the table, there was nothing worthy of her attention.

"Your Majesty has an order. Ladies and gentlemen, if your relatives are here, you can go and reminisce about the old days."

The singing and dancing were over, and the rest of the congratulatory speeches were also finished. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

She reckoned and looked around, but she didn't see a familiar figure. She couldn't say she was disappointed, but she was a little lonely. Concubine Hua next to her had already sat at Governor Li's place, and she was still sitting where she was.

"Laner."

She raised her head in response. This dark blue official uniform was densely embroidered with golden threads.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I pay homage to Concubine Chen!" Before Shang Kelan could be happy, Shang Kelin knelt down.

She really wants to kneel, now she is the imperial concubine.

"Brother, please, why didn't father come today?"

Now that they are sitting together, they finally have someone to gossip about.

"Father has something to deal with, don't talk about it, sister, how are you doing in the palace these days, brother is very worried about you, you are the wife, I didn't expect... Forget it, brother shouldn't mention this."

Shang Kelan shook her head: "Sister is already staying in this deep palace no matter what, and besides, my status is not low, how can I be bullied, brother, don't worry, he treats me... well."

It's just that on days like this, she can't feel joy in her heart.

"How can it be easier? Don't lie to brother. Now that Concubine Ning is pregnant with her first child, how can he still take care of you? But if he really bullies you, our Shang family will have to discuss it with him."

"Naturally, don't worry. Although my sister behaves now, her nature is not like this. She can protect herself."

After she said that, Shang Kelin finally nodded and felt relieved.

But... Shang Kelin is just an official of the imperial court after all, how can he understand the secrets of women in the back house, let alone the palace that cannibalize people without spit out their bones.

"Oh, it hurts! Your Majesty, this concubine has a stomachache!"

Concubine Ning suddenly dropped the spoon, and the ceramic spoon slipped from the side of the porcelain bowl, and then from the satin-covered wooden table, breaking into pieces.

"What's going on? Quick, call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor!"

Such an episode directly disrupted the rhythm of the entire banquet. The ministers stood up one after another, and moved their bodies in a panic. Some of the benches below were knocked to the ground by violent people.

Jin Yantang frowned, and glanced at Concubine Ning's condition, seeing that she was sitting on a chair clutching her stomach and couldn't get up, her heart sank suddenly.

"Your Majesty, this little eunuch is picking up the broken ceramic spoons of Concubine Ning!" Shang Kelan noticed something was wrong, so she walked forward quickly and raised her voice.

"What's the point of pursuing this at this time!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Yantang seemed to realize something suddenly, and ordered immediately!

"Come on, let me take him down!"

Seeing that he understood what she meant, Shang Kelan reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everything used by Concubine Ning should be checked before it is safe."

Jin Yantang nodded in agreement.

"Come here! Let me check all the things used by Concubine Ning carefully!"

There was a sudden change in the banquet, so naturally it couldn't go on, the imperial doctor hurried over with the medicine box in hand, before he even had time to put down his things, he began to feel the pulse.

There was a silence in the hall, and everyone stared at the imperial doctor. If Concubine Ning's child died because of this, wouldn't it be a big joke?

"Pearl, take a look, isn't this gift for nothing?"

Concubine Hua picked up a fruit on the plate, and the bright red nails made her eyelashes sparkle.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"

Concubine Hua lowered her head and didn't continue talking, but the smile on her face became stronger...

"How's it going?"

Jin Yantang has calmed down a lot now, and he knows in his heart that he doesn't want this child more than anyone else, after all, he will become a child without a mother in the end.

"Your Majesty, the empress is fine, and the emperor's heir is fine. It's just that the fetus is a little unstable. You need to prescribe some anti-fetal medicine, and you can't stand too much, let alone be frightened."

"The fetal sign is unstable?"

The empress dowager stood up from her seat in shock, "Doctor, this is the first emperor's heir, there can be no mistakes, it must be kept by Aijia!"

"Yes, Queen Mother."

After the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, he smelled a different smell from the broken porcelain spoon.

"In here..."

The imperial doctor glanced at Jin Yantang cautiously, but closed his mouth when he wanted to say something.

He pursed his lips, comforted Concubine Ning, and asked someone to help her back to rest.

"You can tell me what's in this porcelain spoon."

Jin Yantang's face is sullen, there's no need to cover up what's inside, it's up to him whether the child wants it or not, but to act so blatantly is to ignore Huangwei!
He has no reason to endure the provocation!

"Returning to Your Majesty, it contains a special medicinal powder for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which has no effect on ordinary people, but it is too dangerous for pregnant women... especially those who are full-term like the empress. , if you are not careful, it is very likely to slip."

"Oh? Where can I buy this kind of thing?"

He frowned. If it was an ordinary medicinal material, it could be obtained anywhere, and there was no way to investigate the matter.

"Your Majesty, this kind of medicinal material can be found everywhere, and you can buy it from the medicine shops in the market... So I can't judge the source now."

"It's true, a small medicinal powder can have such a big effect..."

Jin Yantang did not intend to reveal this matter, so he asked Eunuch Fu to take people to call all the individuals who had handled the spoons, and interrogated them one by one, but no matter whether they were maids or eunuchs, there was no reason to finely powder the medicine. It is wet and applied on the spoon, and the receivers are all connected with each other, and there is no room for meddling in the middle.

"Take these people down and recognize that little eunuch."

What Jin Yantang said was referring to the little eunuch who was just caught.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty... Maybe the one who made the move is among us?"
