Chapter 165 Catch the adulterer
During the conversation, Fu Yansheng slowly walked to the seat reserved for Ling Mohui and sat down. The subtle atmosphere between the two added a bit of unspeakable complex emotions to the banquet.
As we are about to enter late autumn, the cool breeze blows and the legendary hero who led the Yanzhou tribe returns.
Prince Sheng Xuanzhi of Yanzhou is not only brave and good at fighting, but also extremely wise. His arrival brings unprecedented severe challenges to the Beizhu Army.
Fu Yansheng's gaze slowly shifted to Wei Ruoming, with a look of scrutiny and consideration in it.
"Our dynasty, the Great Qi, has a full treasury, a strong army, and has accumulated rich experience in fighting the people of Yanzhou over the years. The Prime Minister should be full of confidence and do not need to worry too much."
Wei Ruoming's words revealed the calmness and indifference that came from his experience on the battlefield. Every move he made seemed more restrained and profound.
Fu Yansheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing an intriguing sneer: "If you don't have any selfish desires in your heart and devote yourself to the war, I will rest assured."
In these words, there was a vague mention of the secret of Wei Ruoming's secret return to Beijing. That was a trump card in Fu Yansheng's hand, implying that if he made any mistake, this secret would be the perfect reason for punishment.
Wei Ruoming clenched his teeth lightly and chose to remain silent after weighing the pros and cons. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, showing both unwillingness and determination.
Seeing this delicate atmosphere, Xia Yunfeng hurriedly raised his glass, trying to resolve the awkwardness: "It is truly precious to be able to gather with all of you today. I toast to the Prime Minister, the two ladies, and Master Wei!"
The words were full of sincerity and warmth.
Ling Mohui raised her glass and was about to take a sip when she suddenly became alert.
There seems to be an unusual scent hidden in this wine!
Ling Mohui, who had just experienced the poison incident personally, became extremely alert.
Without making a sound, she cleverly covered the mouth of the cup with her sleeve and pretended to take a sip, but she was already on high alert in her heart.
As the cup fell, his eyes inadvertently met Xia Ranran's smug gaze.
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. It was indeed her!
The previous grudge has not been settled yet, and she comes to provoke again!
Ling Mo put down her wine glass and suddenly stood up: "I feel a little unwell, please enjoy your meal."
There was unquestionable determination in his tone.
Ling Zhiyun responded quickly, her concern evident in her words: "It must be that the medicine my sister took before has not completely worn off. My sister has always had a weak constitution. It would be better for me to arrange for a maid to take my sister back to her room to rest."
Ling Mohui shook her head gently and said firmly: "No need, I can do it."
After saying this, she turned around and left the banquet with firm steps.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I heard footsteps behind me.
Xia Ranran caught sight of Ling Mohui's figure, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes: "The target has been found, act according to the plan!"
However, the moment the man pushed open the door, Ling Mohui moved swiftly. With a flash of silver light in her hand, a silver needle accurately pierced the side of the intruder's neck. The other party immediately collapsed to the ground, without a sound.
Xia Ranran was terrified and tried to escape, but unexpectedly a force attacked her from behind and knocked her to the ground with a knife.
Chun Tang dragged Xia Ran Ran into the house easily, walked around her angrily, and said sternly, "Bah! How shameless! You actually use such despicable means to harm others!"
After dealing with the two, Chuntang asked, "What should we do now?"
"Put them on the bed as the young lady ordered."
Chuntang quickly carried out Ling Mohui's order. After everything was done, the two left quietly.
Not long after, a maid ran into the banquet hall in a panic. Obviously, a new storm was brewing...
"Master Prime Minister, the lady... seems to have been completely immersed in the aroma of wine. She walked into her room hand in hand with a strange man. The situation is urgent. I implore you to go and investigate immediately!"
The maid's voice was filled with panic that was difficult to conceal.
"What did you say!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng was struck by lightning and slammed his hand on the table, causing the water in the teacup to splash out, reflecting his stunned and angry face.
Xia Yunfeng almost jumped up from his chair, with a look of disbelief on his face. He pointed at the maid with trembling fingers and almost roared, "This is ridiculous! How can there be such nonsense?"
The maid's face was as pale as paper, her knees were trembling slightly, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but she was very firm: "If you don't believe it, you can see the truth with your own eyes."
Fu Yansheng stood up without any hesitation, his robe fluttering in the wind, and walked towards the door with steady and swift steps.
Xia Yunfeng followed closely behind with a complicated expression, feeling both worried and angry.
Wei Ruoming walked with a slight stumble due to his leg injury. When he passed the maid, he saw that she was still kneeling on the ground, her face full of fear and panic.
"Somebody come!"
Wei Ruoming's eyes were like cold stars, icy and sharp, staring straight at the maid.
The maid's body froze, a trace of despair flashed in her eyes, but with determination, she looked up at Wei Ruoming, her voice trembling slightly: "My Lord, every word I say is true, there is no falsehood!"
"The truth will come out, and any more words will be in vain."
Wei Ruoming's tone was cold, and he immediately ordered, "Come here, take care of this maid first! If there is any untruthfulness in the slightest, she will naturally know the consequences according to the rules of the Prince's Mansion."
After saying this, Wei Ruoming took a big step forward without question and headed quickly towards the source of the disturbance.
At the same time, Fu Yansheng and Xia Yunfeng were extremely anxious and rushed to Ling Mohui's room.
Fu Yansheng stopped at one side of the door, clenched his hands into fists, hesitated again and again, but ultimately failed to muster up the courage to push open the door that seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.
Finally, his anger broke through the dam of reason, and he punched the hard wall with a dull sound.
"Ling Mohui! Come out and explain yourself to me!"
The shouts echoed in the empty corridor, making people feel uneasy.
The room was dead silent, so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped at that moment, making people feel extremely depressed.
"Ling Mohui! If you are willing to open this door now, I, Fu Yansheng, am willing to pretend that nothing has happened. Do you hear me clearly?"
Fu Yansheng's voice trembled slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the closed door, waiting for a response.
Behind the door, there was only silence. The unopened door seemed to have given the answer silently.
The veins on Fu Yansheng's forehead bulged, and the anger burning in his chest reached its peak.
"Husband, you need to stay calm. This kind of loss of composure will only scare your sister even more!"
Ling Zhiyun seemed to be giving gentle advice, but in fact her words contained implicit accusations, pointing directly at Ling Mohui.
Suddenly, a woman's terrified scream was heard from inside the house.
Fu Yansheng pushed the door open without hesitation.
"No one comes in!"
He left this low command, and his figure flashed, rushing straight into the inner room.
Just as Fu Yansheng stepped over the threshold, Ling Mohui actually strolled leisurely from the other end of the corridor with a playful smile on her face.
