Chapter 2 — Poisonous Medicine Cup

"The people below don't understand things and have insulted the lady." "You are so generous, please don't compare yourself with them." A prince publicly lowered his posture and took the blame on behalf of the ladies of the mandarin family. The whole main hall was silent. Miss Luong's face turned pale. Finally, she slowly realized and began to panic. To Yen was also completely stunned. She stared at me, as if she knew me for the first time. I smiled gently. "Your Highness has said too much. It's just a few jokes, how can I take it to heart?" After hearing the third prince, his face not only did not soften but also became a little whiter. Perhaps he understood too well that before poisoning, I liked best to smile and say that I "didn't take it to heart". Finally, To Yen couldn't bear it anymore. She took a step forward, blocking Miss Luong's face, looking at me, her eyes gradually showing hostility. "Sister, what exactly do you want to do?" I looked at her with lowered eyes. Her voice "sister" was no longer soft, but on the contrary, it still carried a bit of gritted teeth. That's right. In front of everyone, the Third Prince was so afraid of me. To her, this was more unpleasant than being humiliated by others. I asked her: "Are you scared?" To Yen's face turned cold. "Why should I be afraid of you?" "Because you are guilty." I said slowly. "You have occupied my identity for seventeen years, enjoying the glory and wealth that belongs to me. Now that you see me back, you are afraid that I will take everything away from you." To Yen's eyes immediately turned red. "I didn't!" This scream of hers was not small, as if she had really suffered a injustice as big as the sky. The people around looked at her, a little more pity appeared in their eyes. She has always been very good at acting. But I just smiled. "Yes or no, you know best in your heart." The atmosphere became more and more tense. At this moment, an announcement came from outside. The Crown Prince has arrived. Everyone quickly regained their expressions and took turns bowing. As soon as the Crown Prince entered the party, he realized something was wrong. He looked at the broken wine cup all over the ground, then looked at the group of people struggling, frowning slightly. "What happened?" No one answered first. To Yen bit her lip and was about to step forward when the Third Prince spoke first. "Nothing, it's just that the ladies didn't know how to speak properly and there was a bit of an argument." He spoke very quickly, as if afraid that if he were a little slower, something bigger would happen. The Crown Prince looked at him, obviously not believing. His eyes roamed around, finally stopping on her. With just one look, his expression slightly paused. It seems like I feel a bit familiar. I closed my eyes and said nothing. The palace became increasingly quiet. Everyone is waiting. Waiting for the Crown Prince to ask, waiting for the Third Prince to speak, waiting for a crack that no one dares to be the first to touch. At this moment, a louder announcement rang out outside. "Your Majesty is here! The Queen is here!" When the Emperor and Queen entered the palace, everyone knelt down. I also bowed down. But when I close my eyes, I can still feel the eyes falling on me. To Yen's eyes carried hatred. A look from the Third Prince's eyes, carrying fear. There was also a look from the Emperor. After sitting in a high position, he did not immediately tell everyone to stand up, but just calmly glanced around the main hall. "The noise in the hall just now, what happened?" One sentence made the atmosphere become heavy. No one dared to speak first. Finally, the Queen calmly said: "Just now, when this palace was outside, it seemed like I heard someone shouting. Could it be that someone was rude?"
