Chapter 137 They were poisoned by mushrooms
After a servant came up from the roof to confirm that there was not a single melon seed shell left, Huang Changsheng, the protagonist of today, came over.
Ye Shengxin and his companions perked up and looked intently at the luxurious brocade robe he was wearing, which cost him a fortune to make, and they were excited.
Ye Xingxin had no patience. After listening to Huang Changsheng's humming and humming words, he asked Hao Duanzhuang directly:
"Now that everyone is seated, can we start?"
Hao Duanzhuang didn't know the lethality of Ye Shengxin's "Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms". Just as he was about to nod, he was lifted up by the back of the neck by Emperor Jingming.
All he heard was, "There's no rush for now. The guests have come from afar to congratulate the head of the Huang family. We must let them have the feast as they wish no matter what."
"Otherwise, he'll be hungry and scared and will inevitably pass out. What's the point of watching this show?"
"The most important thing is," Emperor Jingming looked at Ye Xingxin and smiled slightly, "Da Ya has been busy in the kitchen for so long, it can't be in vain."
Ye Xingxin was convinced: "You are right, then let's wait another quarter of an hour."
At this time, Zhang Liang raised a very important question.
——What about Rong Ping and his biological daughter?
Ye Xingxin, who had no idea what was going on, was confused: "What should I do?"
Emperor Jingming's heart sank and he actually forgot about the two of them.
If it weren't for them, the Huang family's current situation would be difficult to deal with.
Zhang Liang's words made the court officials anxious.
Lord Rong is a trusted official of the imperial court, a man who can lead troops to fight in the Zhou Kingdom, and his fighting ability is unmatched by few. He is Madam Ghost's husband.
No matter from which perspective, there is no room for error.
Rong Anle is Madam Ghost's biological daughter and the only close friend of Ye Shengxin in the court.
If these two people had a quarrel over stewed chicken with mushrooms, the entire imperial court would have been in an uproar.
After Huang Changsheng finished his polite words, everyone picked up their chopsticks to taste the food. Rong Ping, perhaps because he was unlucky, was the first to eat the chicken stewed with mushrooms. The prince could no longer sit still.
"Master, Lord Rong must not..."
The prince's remaining words were silenced by Master Tongshan's reassuring look.
On the sky curtain, Emperor Jingming asked Hao Duanzhuang if he could remind the father and daughter of the Rong family.
When he got the answer that he couldn't get away, his face turned pale.
Cui Luoshan didn't know the inside story, but seeing that Emperor Jingming and Zhang Liang's faces had changed, he spoke:
"Then we won't watch it for now. You can send us down, and then do what Little Duck wants. Is this okay?"
Hao Duanzhuang: "Okay."
The four were quickly sent to a hidden corner. According to Emperor Jingming's instructions, Hao Duanzhuang placed a note in the hands of Rong Ping and Rong Anle respectively, reminding them not to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms.
After finishing their work, the four of them sat on the roof again.
Emperor Jingming ordered Hao Duanzhuang to avoid Ye Shengxin when doing things.
After sitting down, Ye Shengxin looked at Rong Ping and Rong Anle staring at the chicken stewed with mushrooms she made for a long time without moving their chopsticks, and was completely confused.
"What's wrong? Big Duck, what did you just do?"
Emperor Jingming said in a serious tone: "Let Duanzhuang send Huang Changsheng away. When he appears again, he will be wearing the dragon robe."
Zhang Liang explained: "After all, a dragon robe can't appear out of thin air. When the Huang family sees His Majesty, they can easily explain away this strange phenomenon by saying someone framed them."
Ye Xingxin was convinced by this reason.
Two quarters of an hour later, Huang Changsheng, who had gone out to handle personal matters, strode back.
He was the focus of the day. As soon as he appeared, countless guests' eyes fell on him.
Everyone's eyes were dazzled by his bright yellow clothes embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.
"Cough...cough..."
"hiss!"
"Oh my god."
"Snapped!"
"Bang, bang bang..."
All the guests had different reactions, but they all felt their scalps tingling when they saw the dragon robe on Huang Changsheng.
Is Huang Changsheng (the head of the family) planning to rebel?
And is today's banquet a Hongmen Banquet?
Countless thoughts entered everyone's mind in just a moment, and everyone held their breath.
After a brief period of noise, the scene became eerily quiet for a moment.
The strange silence made Huang Changsheng, who was about to sit down and continue chatting and laughing with the leader of the clan, subconsciously feel that something was wrong.
He stared at everyone and felt uneasy when he saw that everyone was looking at him strangely.
I looked down following their gaze.
On the golden clothes, the five-clawed golden dragon seemed to be real and was about to rush out of his chest, and its claws tightly grasped his throat.
For a moment, Huang Changsheng's eyes bulged slightly and he couldn't utter a word.
Layers of cold sweat slid down his back, and Huang Changsheng thought excitedly, he was wearing a dragon robe in front of more than a thousand people, what should he do?
What should the Huang family do?
Do we want to kill these people to silence them?
No, no, no, most of these people are members of the Huang family. If they don’t want to be implicated by me, they have no choice but to help me. Today’s incident will definitely be concealed.
Can--
Is it really possible?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, a deafening "outrageous" sound came from the side.
Rong Ping and the soldiers he brought with him drew their swords. Rong Ping asked sternly:
"Huang Changsheng, you have already defied the emperor's authority by making the dragon robe privately, and you even dared to wear it yourself. Are you, the Huang family, planning a rebellion?"
Under the sky, all the ministers looked at Huang Changsheng, and many ministers who had been related to the Huang family closed their eyes silently.
This disaster finally came.
With Ye Shengxin's help, they can no longer stop His Majesty from doing what he wants to do.
"It's coming, it's coming. I'm so excited, what should I do?" Ye Shengxin covered his chest and whispered.
"I don't know if Lord Rong and his daughter can handle this situation. After all, this is the Huang family's territory. Don't let yourself..." Get involved.
Emperor Jingming, who was always on guard against her and afraid of her bad mouth, covered up these words in time.
He exhaled deeply and said, "Big Duck, isn't it good to be a handsome man at the critical moment?"
"Why bother adding another mouth!"
Ye Shengxin blinked. Her mouth and nose were covered, making her feel very uncomfortable. She raised her hand and pushed Emperor Jingming's hand away.
Can't she just stop talking?
In fact, she also felt that her mouth was unlucky.
But after summarizing and thinking about it carefully, I really couldn't come to any conclusion, so I had to give up.
She covered her mouth and said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't say anything."
At the banquet, Huang Chao, who had just eaten half his fill, was pushed in front of Huang Changsheng by the trembling old butler. He looked straight at Rong Ping:
"Lord Rong, I said that my father had no idea about this matter. The Huang family had no intention of rebelling. This matter was a misunderstanding and it was too strange and bizarre. Do you believe it?"
Rong Ping had long known the great concern in His Majesty's heart. Even if what Huang Chao said made sense, he could not believe it in order to expose the Huang family's evil intentions.
Moreover, the amnesiac emperor was looking at him on the roof, and hundreds of ministers were watching this scene in the court thousands of miles away.
Today, he would take down the Huang family members no matter what.
