Mrs. Peony was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are such a good person."
With that said, she asked someone to hand out flower cakes.
But unexpectedly, Tang Lilan's expression suddenly changed and she rushed over in a hurry: "Auntie!"
She rushed so fast that she knocked the flower cake plate in Mrs. Peony's hand to the ground with a clang, and all the flower cakes also fell to the ground.
Mrs. Peony's face was a bit ugly: "Miss Third, why are you so rash and rude? You still haven't apologized to Concubine Ming!"
After saying that, she apologized and bowed humbly to Ming Lanruo.
If Minglan could figure it out, Mrs. Peony probably didn't know there was something wrong with the cake.
Tang Lilan glared at Ming Lanruo angrily: "I didn't mean it. Concubine Ming won't care about it, right? Moreover, my aunt gave you this cake, you should eat it, how can you give it away casually!"
She couldn't hide her resentment. This bitch actually wanted to poison her other sisters with those flower cakes. She was so vicious!
Minglan Ruoxing's eyes narrowed slightly, this Tang Lilan was really stupid and bad, how could he blame her for not eating the poisoned cake?
She squeaked lightly, with a cold look on her face: "Why, Miss Tang San is accusing me of not eating the reward given by your aunt?"
Tang Lilan wanted to say something, but Mrs. Peony was already anxious. She quickly grabbed her and bowed to apologize: "Of course it's only a reward from the princess. This is a gift from the concubine. The third lady is quick to talk. The empress Mingfei has a lot. Please spare her."
.”
Ruan looked on from a distance and snorted coldly, showing no intention of going over to rescue the siege.
That witch has been showing off day by day relying on the master's favor. Now that she has offended the nobles of the capital, the witch and her daughter will suffer a lot!
Tang Lilan has been a local princess in Heiliao City all her life. Except for Tang Bijun, she didn't even look down on Ruan, the first wife of Tang Zhifu.
Seeing her mother groveling like this, she felt even more aggrieved, but her mother's fingernails were almost digging into the flesh of her arms, so she still suppressed her anger and remained silent.
Ming Lanruo's bright eyes were filled with frost, and she said calmly: "Okay, I will reward this flower cake to Miss Tang San."
With that said, she gracefully extended the flower cake in her hand to Tang Lilan: "Would you like to eat it?"
Just because she is too lazy to argue with an idiot doesn't mean she will let an idiot step on her and jump around in front of her.
Tang Lilan's face froze and she immediately took two steps back and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I don't want it!"
Ming Lanruo, this bitch, must have known that the flower cake was poisoned by him. If she didn't eat it obediently, he would just let it go. He actually dared to use the flower cake to harm her. What a cruel heart!
But Jinghe didn't know when he stepped behind her, held her shoulders and said coldly: "The noble man is giving you a reward, how dare you not obey, third lady?"
Tang Lilan suddenly felt that her whole body was frozen and she couldn't move. The hands on her shoulders restrained her like pliers!
She tried to struggle in annoyance: "You cheap maid, how dare you touch my young lady's delicate body!"
Mrs. Peony's face turned pale, and she regretted for the first time that she had spoiled Tang Lilan so much.
She only thought that Tang Lilan was having a temper with the eldest lady. In her anxiety, she pulled Tang Lilan close to her: "Eat quickly, you kid didn't eat much for breakfast. My mother made this cake just out of the oven. I will give it to you as a reward."
It’s an honor to give it to you!”
With that said, Mrs. Peony grabbed the little flower cake in Ming Lanruo's hand, and while Tang Lilan was making a fuss and shouting, she stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her troublesome mouth!
Ming Lanruo saw that Tang Lilan was unprepared, and swallowed the cake wholeheartedly.
Tang Lilan was stunned, her eyes bulging: "..."
Ming Lanruo: "..."
Well, in the words of people from Northeast China, this mother and daughter are really quite tigers.
She wiped her hands with the handkerchief and couldn't help but chuckle: "Very good, wouldn't this save a lot of trouble?"
Tang Lilan finally reacted, pushed her mother away suddenly, and squeezed her throat hard in collapse: "Ahhhh - this cake is poisonous! You can't eat it!"
As soon as these words were shouted, not only Mrs. Peony was shocked, but also the people around her were startled.
The next moment, there was a "crack" sound, and the long sword and short knife were placed on Tang Lilan's neck at the same time.
Tang Lilan was forced to kneel on the ground with a bang!
"How dare you poison Concubine Ming, you should be punished!"
Chen Ning, who was holding the sword, and Jing He, who was holding the dagger, looked at each other coldly, feeling unhappy about their "tacit understanding", but they only looked away.
Ming Lanruo raised the corners of her lips with a cold expression: "The cake Mrs. Peony gave me was poisonous? Does Miss Tang San know what she is talking about?"
Mrs. Peony was stunned and instinctively shouted: "Impossible!"
At this time, the noisy first floor finally alerted the men on the second floor. Shangguan Hongye led the men downstairs and immediately strode to Ming Lanruo's side.
"How are you?" His expression flashed with anxiety and he pulled her.
Ming Lanruo glanced at him inexplicably, why did this man look so worried about him?
She calmly pulled her arm back and said calmly: "Miss Tang San said that Madam Peony poisoned my flower cake."
Tang Lilan's expression changed drastically. At this moment, she was no longer thinking, and because of the sword around her neck, she understood what a stupid thing she had just said!
"But she can't come back, not to mention that her mother has stuffed her with poisonous cakes, and her whole body is in a state of confusion and collapse: "I...I don't know...I, I...".
"Pah!" A very hard slap fell on her face!
This slap made Tang Lilan spit out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Magistrate Tang in disbelief and pain: "Father...Father?"
She is the only one who can hit people in this life, and even Ruan doesn't dare to touch her hair!
She had already eaten the poisonous cake and now she had a seizure. She felt severe pain in her stomach and vomited out a mouthful of blood again: "Oh, father, help..."
But before she could shout "Help", Magistrate Tang raised his hand and slapped her hard on the face again with a cold look on his face: "You evil beast, what are you still talking about? Father, please give her a good wake-up call."
you!"
This time Tang Lilan was whipped so hard that she screamed and fell to the ground. She rolled her eyes and fainted with bleeding from her mouth and nose.
I don't know if it was the blood from being poisoned or the blood from being beaten. In addition, the person was fainted, so Ming Lanruo was unable to press him for questioning.
She looked at Magistrate Tang coldly, he was indeed a powerful character.
Magistrate Tang looked distressed, bowed to Ming Lanruo and said, "Princess, this evil beast disturbed you, please forgive me!"
"She was so rude because she liked Xiao Yanzi who was next to you so much. Please forgive her for the sake of today's official!"
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows, oh, the prefect used his words well to blame her for hiding her identity!
Shangguan Hongye sneered and raised his eyebrows: "Ha, so she held a grudge and asked Mrs. Peony to poison the princess?"
Mrs. Peony knelt on the ground with a pale face: "I don't have a concubine. If I am poisoned, I will die without a burial place!"
Ming Lanruo: "..."
Well, although this aunt is a tiger, she is also a smart person. Her oath of poison was a good one, because the poison was indeed not caused by Mrs. Peony.
Magistrate Tang had a wry smile on his face: "This child has been spoiled by us. He always shows off his words. It's our fault for offending the empress. How dare we poison her face to face? Isn't this stupid and asking for death?"
Ming Lanruo pointedly said: "Haha... Yes, some people are just stupid enough to seek death."
Tang Lilan is the kind of idiot who can't survive the first episode in a story-telling novel.
Seeing this, Magistrate Tang seemed to have made up his mind and immediately asked someone to pick up the flower cake that had fallen to the ground: "If the prince and princess don't believe it, I will let the children share it!"
With that said, he immediately asked people to distribute flower cakes.
Shangguan Hongye did not stop him. He watched coldly as the children of the prefect each took a piece of cake and were forced to eat it with ugly expressions on their faces.
