Chapter 567 Help
In the imperial study room.
Mo Lingwei, wearing the prince's robe, was sitting on the main seat in the middle, chatting with seven or eight humerus ministers.
These ministers are all confidants left by the emperor to the prince to cultivate well.
Everyone is around thirty-five years old. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, they will form a new circle of powerful ministers in Cangyun Kingdom.
Therefore, those old loyal ministers, such as Prime Minister Xie, General Chen and others, are not included in this list.
In today's meeting, in addition to ordinary discussions, Mo Lingwei also routinely asked them for their political opinions.
A circle of people sat and discussed politics, holding the prince in the center.
The eunuch came up with cups of fine Mingqian Longjing tea and placed one in everyone's hand.
Mo Lingwei was listening to the report of the main government affairs by the Minister of Household Affairs. He picked up the tea cup at hand and had just skimmed off the foam before he could drink it into his mouth.
Then I heard a sweet voice shouting from the door: "Don't drink!"
As soon as Mo Lingwei stopped moving, Shen Ningning had already barged in regardless of the eunuchs and forbidden troops' obstruction.
Several ministers put down the tea cups in their hands and stood up to greet the princess. There was doubt in everyone's eyes.
The imperial study is an important place for government affairs. If you break in without permission, you will be punished.
However, the other party was Princess Funing.
The imperial guards stood at the door, in a dilemma, but saw Mo Lingwei raise his hand to signal them not to act rashly.
He looked at Shen Ningning, and the girl rushed directly in front of him and took the tea cup from his hand.
Afterwards, he poured the tea into the window sill next to him, and the hosta potted plant in full bloom was showered with tea.
"Your Highness Princess, this is..." The Minister of Household Affairs was surprised.
Shen Ningning ran over, panting, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her white forehead.
A pair of beautiful black, round and moist eyes were full of nervousness.
She stood nearby, staring closely at the potted plant.
Mo Lingwei walked over and took his towel from nowhere: "Wipe it."
Shen Ningning didn't answer. The ministers gathered around curiously and stared at the potted plants together.
After a while, I saw that the hosta flowers were quickly turning yellow and visible to the naked eye.
Shen Ningning's heart sank: "The tea is really poisonous!"
The courtiers were shocked and turned around to look at the tea they had not drunk yet: "Poisonous?!"
Mo Lingwei frowned with sharp eyebrows.
The one who was most afraid was Master Taishi. He covered his neck with a look of panic.
"It's over! It's over! I was too thirsty just now and took a few sips."
The rest of the courtiers were even more frightened, and stayed away from him in groups.
The Minister of Hube asked hurriedly: "Tai Shi, how do you feel now?"
Taishi held his stomach and said, "There was a dull pain in my abdomen just now, and now the feeling seems to be more intense."
As he said that, he felt a cramping pain in his abdomen and knelt down directly.
Shen Ningning exclaimed, and Mo Lingwei protected her behind him, and immediately ordered in a cold voice: "Pass it to the imperial doctor! Whoever was responsible for the tea just now, please pass it on."
The imperial guards helped and carried Taishi, who was pale in pain, to the soft couch under the window.
The other courtiers were all frightened when they heard his ouch ouch calls.
This is the royal study room. Someone dares to poison here. I simply don’t want to live.
Before the imperial doctor arrived, Shen Ningning repeatedly grabbed Mo Lingwei's sleeve and asked him, "You didn't drink, did you? Not even a sip?"
Seeing that she cared so much about him, she finally no longer looked so cold.
Mo Lingwei actually had the thought to smile warmly, and he repeatedly reassured her: "I didn't even drink a sip. You came in time, don't worry."
After saying that, he took the initiative to wipe away the beads of sweat on Shen Ningning's cheeks. The girl seemed to be frightened and did not resist his touch for the time being.
After a while, the imperial doctor arrived, and Mo Lingwei asked him to check the Taishi's pulse first.
At the same time, the young eunuch who was responsible for serving tea and two palace servants were also interrogated.
The little eunuch's name was Blind Sheng, probably because his mother was a blind woman. After the little eunuch entered the palace, because he was clever, intelligent and loyal, he has been serving in Zichen Palace.
It can even be said that he is half of Mo Lingwei's confidant.
When he saw the blind student being brought up, even Mo Lingwei frowned in disbelief.
The blind student was frightened and his whole body was shaking.
The two palace men hurriedly distanced themselves from each other.
"His Royal Highness Prince Mingjian, the blind student has always been responsible for the tea service in the imperial study. We are only responsible for helping to burn firewood and make tea."
"Yes, Your Highness, just now the blind man was standing by the tea stove alone. The slaves really didn't know what he had done."
Mo Lingwei glanced at the blind student with stern eyes: "They are indeed right, right? Remember, you are responsible for every tea delivered."
In doing so, we are also afraid that someone is really up to something evil.
No matter how clever the blind student is usually, now his eyes are red with fear and his body is shaking like a fallen leaf in the wind.
"His Royal Highness, give me eight hundred courages, and I won't dare to poison you! It's true that the tea is cooked by me alone, but from making the tea to serving it, I'm all watching, and I don't do anything to anyone. But how dare I poison you and the adults!"
These are the prince and seven or eight humerus ministers!
If he really poisoned the country, it would be the future of Cangyun Country that would be harmed, and everyone from the entire nine tribes who were still alive would be implicated by him.
Blind and anxious tongue trembled.
The Minister of Household Affairs said angrily: "You are a naughty slave, you must be making excuses. Your Highness, I think that if I send him to a violent cell and torture him severely, he will definitely confess."
Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, and his dark brows revealed a strong chill.
The blind man kept kowtowed: "Your Highness, I swear in front of the princess, if I poison you, let me be struck by lightning!"
The ministers looked at each other.
Since seeing Shen Ningning's ability, no one in the entire Cangyun Kingdom dared not to admit that she was a lucky girl.
She is the representative of the immortals who stayed in the mortal world. He dared to swear in front of her. Could it be that he really didn't do this?
Shen Ningning stepped forward, and asked in a clear voice with seriousness: "Did you add anything to the tea?"
"No!" The blind man hurriedly denied.
Suddenly.
He reacted: "I didn't add poison, but if the princess asks something else, I...I..."
The blind man looked at the prince.
Mo Lingwei frowned slightly, and Shen Ningning had already looked at him.
The girl looked puzzled: "You dare not say it?"
The blind man hesitated, and he was still somewhat confident just now, but now, he kept glancing at Mo Lingwei's expression, not knowing whether he should say it.
Shen Ningning suddenly had a guess.
She looked at Mo Lingwei fiercely, and her clear and sparkling eyes showed more suspicion of him.
Mo Lingwei saw this and knew that if he didn't explain it, she would probably still suspect that he deliberately ordered the palace people to poison and play a trick.
He frowned and sighed: "Forget it, you tell them."
It was not a shameful thing.
Mo Lingwei didn't let him say it because he was afraid that the ministers and the emperor would worry.
The blind man knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "The slave did add something to the cup of one of your highnesses, but it was not poison."
