Li Jingjing cursed quack doctors in her heart, but she did not dare to offend Imperial Physician Chen openly. After all, he was now the most trusted physician by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Doctor Chen frowned and was displeased, but ignored Li Jingjing's words and continued to report to the Queen Mother, "Miss Li's vomiting is not due to poisoning, she just drank too much."
This conclusion left everyone speechless.
It is really unreasonable for a lady, a noble lady, to drink at an occasion like a palace banquet without knowing how much she drank, and to lose her composure after drinking to such an extent.
The Queen Mother didn't want to talk to Li Jingjing anymore, so she said directly, "Li Jingjing lost her temper after drinking and lost her manners in front of the palace. Come on, please take her down and fine her fifty big strokes. She will not be allowed to enter the palace again for half a year."
The Queen Mother has been worshiping Buddha for many years and has never given such a punishment for a long time. Now it seems that she is really angry with Li Jingjing.
In other words, he was punished so severely because he wanted to vent his anger on the Lord of Ding'an County.
The guards quickly came up to take Li Jingjing away. Li Jingjing struggled and was about to speak when she heard a loud shout from outside, "Please show mercy to the Queen Mother!"
Everyone present is familiar with such a familiar voice.
It's Li Ren.
Li Ren went to the border to resist the grassland tribes, thinking that he would not come back on New Year's Eve, but he did not expect that the timing of his return would be so clever.
The guards also stopped for a moment, because they didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, so they wanted to wait for the next instruction.
Li Jingjing's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked in the direction of the person coming from the door as if she saw a savior.
Li Ren strode in. When he passed by Yun Ning, a murderous intention came over him.
Yun Ning's pupils shrank, this guy's anger became more and more violent...
Li Ren stepped forward and handed over his hand, "Your Majesty, we have successfully repelled the grassland tribes, and we are here to report on our work."
The Emperor of the Night gave a polite hum, "Thank you for your hard work, Li Aiqing. It is the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. Li Aiqing, please take a seat."
The matter of repelling the grassland tribes could actually be successfully accomplished by sending any general there. Therefore, although Li Ren's contribution was credited, it was not that remarkable.
The most important thing is that he still has an unfinished sentence on him, so if the two parties trade off, there is no need to give Li Ren any reward.
This is also within everyone's expectation.
But Li Ren did not sit down, but instead said to the Queen Mother, "Empress Dowager, Wei Chen is going to the grassland and met a dancing girl on the way. She has a special dance that she wants to dedicate to the Queen Mother. Wei Chen wants to use this dance
In exchange for a favor from the Queen Mother, I beg the Queen Mother to spare my daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slim woman in white clothes walked out from behind.
It's just that the woman is covered with a veil, so her true face cannot be seen.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw this scene.
If the beauty is given to the emperor, they can actually understand it. After all, the emperor is a man, and he will be attracted to beauty after all.
But sending a dancing beauty to the Queen Mother is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?
The moment Yun Ning's eyes fell on the woman in white, she felt a familiar feeling.
This person's figure...this person's eyes reminded Yun Ning of someone she had seen before.
Yun Ning suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart.
Giving a woman to the Queen Mother... If this thing is not too outrageous, then this woman has a very special meaning to the Queen Mother.
