The old general who had been stationed on the border had just returned to the court, and was invited by Ye Yunsheng to Prince Yun's Mansion to hold a banquet to celebrate his return. However, this time the banquet was not as grand as the last time. He only invited some people who had a better relationship with the old general.
The old ministers were reminiscing in the hall.
Jin Zhao was arranged to serve next to Ye Yunsheng, but Wei Lan took away all the work that belonged to her. From time to time, he flew a few daggers at her as if provoking. Anyway, Jin Zhao's injuries on his hands were not fully healed.
He was left standing nearby leisurely. It would be better to leave this opportunity to Wei Lan to avoid causing more trouble.
"Go and get the plum wine that the Xuan Kingdom paid tribute to. I know that the old general likes plum wine, so I specially kept it to wait for the old general to come back and drink together." After half the wine tour, Ye Yunsheng suddenly ordered Jin Zhao with a smile.
Jin Zhao took the order and left. Ye Yunsheng had already told her to prepare plum wine before, so she brought the wine to the kitchen in advance before the banquet started. In this way, it would not waste too much time going back and forth.
In Prince Yun's Mansion, you have to be careful when doing anything, especially now that Wei Lan is staring at her like a thorn in the side, so when putting the plum wine, Jin Zhao put a small piece of grass on the wine lid to hold it down. Look.
Looking at the grass that had fallen to who knows where, Jin Zhao's heart rang with alarms. She knew that someone had definitely touched her wine. However, almost no one came to the place where she placed the plum wine.
Who is he?
Jin Zhao smelled the wine carefully, and there was no difference from before. However, no matter whether the wine had been tampered with or not, it was okay if the wine was fine. Once something happened, Jin Zhao would have several heads.
It wasn't enough for Ye Yunsheng to cut him off. Instead of taking revenge, he was cut off because of a bottle of wine. That would be a big loss.
Therefore, at this time, she had to do something.
Jin Zhao walked around the house, looking for any clues. After finding nothing, she reorganized her thoughts. No matter what, she still had to be prepared. So, she found a few white porcelain bowls in the kitchen and put the wine in again.
After finishing it, I walked towards the hall with the wine in hand.
"Last time I left in a hurry and didn't have time to see the princess properly. This time I finally met her. She was as beautiful and moving as the legend said. Your Majesty is so lucky. However, I didn't see Prime Minister Liu in the court just now.
I haven't walked around yet since I came back. I wonder how Prime Minister Liu's health has been lately?"
As soon as Jin Zhao came in with the wine, he heard the old general asking about Wei Lan.
As soon as these words came out, not only Ye Yunsheng, but also Jin Zhao was a little stunned. Unexpectedly, at this time, there were still people thinking about his father. Jin Zhao was deeply moved.
However, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Wei Lan's face, and then she sneered: "The old general is confused. Liu Fumei got seriously ill and died just after he got married. I am the new princess Wei Lan. As for Prime Minister Liu, I have already
He was thrown into prison for the crime of deceiving the emperor. It is better for the old general to say goodbye."
Hearing what she said, the old general seemed to understand something in an instant, and laughed with a careless eye: "Oh, hehe, I am old, old and confused. I hope the princess will forgive me."
"Here comes the wine. You should try it, old general!" Ye Yunsheng saw Jin Zhao coming in. In order to cover up his discomfort with the topic just now, he hurriedly ordered her to pour the wine.
The old general was stationed at the border all year round and rarely had the opportunity to drink his favorite plum wine. As soon as he saw the wine coming, he immediately stared at the wine in Jin Zhao's arms in high spirits, forgetting all the unhappiness he had just felt.
However, Jin Zhao was not in a hurry to pour the wine while he was holding it. Instead, he knelt down in front of Ye Yunsheng and said seriously every word: "Reporting to the prince, due to the scorching heat, it is difficult to keep anything for a long time. Especially this plum wine, it should be
Put it in a cool and dry place. However, it has been delayed for some time to deliver this wine from Cang Kingdom. It has been exposed to the sun along the way. I don’t know if it has changed the taste. Can you let the slave taste it first? If it changes the taste, the slave can use another bottle.
Find a way to solve it.”
Ye Yunsheng's eyes were frivolous. He obviously didn't expect Jin Zhao to come out of the blue, but after all, he was used to all kinds of big scenes. He thought that with her training at Ye Fengxuan's house, she would not do anything reckless. Although she had doubts
However, he did not refuse, but let Jin Zhao try first.
Jin Zhao responded and poured out the wine. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cub. Regardless of whether the wine has problems or not, Jin Zhao must drink it. Even if it's not for Wei Lan, he still has to win Sylvia Yunsheng's trust. Besides, he also has to drink it.
There is Ye Fengxuan here. She believes that Ye Fengxuan will not let her go.
So Jin Zhao raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. After a while, she didn't feel any discomfort in her body. She was a little suspicious that she was worrying too much and was planning to pretend to play with the bowl she brought to fool her first, when a sudden look appeared in her eyes.
The blood started to bleed without any warning. She thought it was just tears at first, but when she touched it and saw the blood and tears pouring out, she was frightened and froze.
What's going on?
Is there really poison in this wine?
Ye Yunsheng, who was sitting opposite her, was also startled when he saw it. He quickly got up and came over to check. As soon as he touched Jin Zhao, Jin Zhao seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant and fainted in his arms. Look.
Seeing the blood stains on her face, Ye Yunsheng's heart suddenly tightened, and the hand holding her could not help but tremble slightly.
Going back in time, it was like going back to the time when he first saw Liu Fumei. She was lying dying in his arms. For some reason, he suddenly became afraid.
He was afraid. It was like he was afraid that he would suddenly lose something very important.
Almost subconsciously, Ye Yunsheng didn't pay attention to the people next to him. He directly hugged Jin Zhao and shouted outside: "Imperial doctor, please tell the imperial doctor!"
