Chapter 158 Is it poisoned?
What should I do? With the old lady in this condition, I definitely won’t be able to carry out the next plan. It’s really frustrating to lose a super combat force.
Thinking of the current Princess Zhaohe, she felt secretly resentful. If Bai Zhaozhao had not refused to settle the matter peacefully, she would not have been punished by the princess. After returning to Beijing, she would have been ridiculed by many noble ladies and would have had to stay at home for many days claiming to be sick.
But in the final analysis, her own man was useless. He inherited a title but had no real power. Fortunately, she had made great efforts with her eldest son and was now valued. At this time of pride, Princess Changxing actually said that she didn't mind the past and said that she could find a way to marry Chen Tianlin to the adopted daughter of Prince An.
Humph, that bitch, it would be worthwhile if I could really marry her into the family. I would teach her a lesson and at least vent my anger for what happened in the past!
Of course, she also knew that Princess Changxing was not so kind. After all, Chen Tianlin was close to the Xu family, and the Xu family's goal was to completely sever the relationship between the Bai family and Prince An. They still had a glimmer of hope to win over Bai Lin, and Bai Zhaozhao was the breakthrough point.
Oh, trying to win over Bai Lin? Don't even think about it. When Bai Zhaozhao gets married, she will let this Princess Zhaohe experience despair! The Xu family should just support her son!
At the same time, the palace banquet was coming to an end. Bai Zhaozhao was about to get up and leave when a person appeared in front of him.
Qin Sha, there is another noble lady next to you.
Bai Zhaozhao had no expression on his face and just looked at them calmly.
Qin Sha also knew that Bai Zhaozhao must have discovered what Amo had done, so she thought that she had bad intentions, but it didn’t matter.
"Princess Zhaohe, I wanted to meet you last time at Prince An's Mansion, but unfortunately Xu Zhen's incident happened. This time I just happened to have the opportunity, and I saw you were alone here in a daze, so I took the liberty to come over. Do you mind if I sit down and have a drink?"
Suddenly, countless melodramatic scenes from TV dramas flashed through Bai Zhaozhao's mind. She smiled and said, "Mind, Miss Qin and I are not the same kind of people. Drinking together might cause misunderstandings. It would be bad if they think we are close friends!"
Qin Sha and the noble lady both widened their eyes, their expressions becoming incredulous.
Especially Qin Sha never expected that Bai Zhaozhao would reject her advances so rudely. It was really... rude!
Then Bai Zhaozhao naturally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Qin Sha: "Did you scare Miss Qin? I was kidding! When I was in Prince An's Mansion before, the maid next to Miss Qin also scared me!"
Qin Sha was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, forced a smile, took the glass of wine and said, "The county lady is really a joker. If I have offended the county lady before, Qin Sha would like to apologize!"
Then she drank the drink in one gulp!
She said that this was a palace banquet and it was impossible for Bai Zhaozhao not to even put on a show.
The noble lady next to her frowned and said to Qin Sha, "Miss Qin, I don't think the county lady welcomes you. Why did she drag me here? I'd better leave first. You stay here!"
Oh, this noble lady has a strong personality. She neither gives face to her, the county lord, nor to Qin Sha.
Bai Zhaozhao looked at the noble lady with admiration and said, "What the lady said really struck a chord with me. May I ask your name?"
The lady's mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes and said, "My last name is Zhong. It's normal that Princess Zhaohe doesn't know me. After all, we are not of the same kind."
The last name is Zhong? So, she is from Zhongge's hometown?
Bai Zhaozhao chuckled: "Ms. Zhong is too arbitrary. We can be the same kind of people."
Qin Sha was inexplicably furious. What did Bai Zhaozhao mean? He was not the same kind of person as me, but he was the same kind of person as Zhong Jingting?
Haha, it turns out that both of them are people she hates!
Zhong Jingting was stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Zhaozhao, and asked in confusion: "What does Princess Zhaohe mean by this?"
Before Bai Zhaozhao could answer, Qin Sha suddenly screamed "Ah", attracting the attention of everyone around.
Qin Sha was seen holding her stomach with a painful expression: "Bai Zhaozhao! What did you do? Why do I have a stomachache? What kind of wine did you give me to drink? Someone, help me!
As she spoke, Qin Sha actually began to foam at the mouth, scaring all the nobles.
The palace attendant in charge was also very panicked: "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"
The nobles also discussed:
"What happened? Something went wrong at today's palace banquet!"
"Miss Qin, do you mean that Princess Zhaohe poisoned her?"
"In front of so many people, has Princess Showa lost her mind?"
"Impossible? Did Qin Sha eat something bad too?"
"Has the imperial physician arrived? Miss Qin looks like she is about to die."
Indeed, Qin Sha twitched for a while and then fell to the ground motionless, as if she had fainted.
Soon, the imperial physician arrived, and so did the Queen Mother. She had intended to say goodbye to the other noble ladies, but just as she arrived at the door, she heard that Qin Sha had been in trouble. This was unacceptable, as Qin Sha was the daughter-in-law she had high hopes for!
What's the matter with this Princess Zhaohe? Why did she want to harm Qin Sha?
After everyone saluted, no one dared to speak anymore. The queen made a prompt decision: "Come here, take care of the wine and food on Princess Zhaohe's table. The imperial physician will take Miss Qin to the side hall for treatment first."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the imperial physician responded, and then ordered people to carry Qin Sha away.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Zhaozhao bowed to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I know a little bit about the art of medicine, and I can wake Miss Qin up immediately!"
The Queen looked at Bai Zhaozhao in confusion, not understanding what this suspect wanted to do: "You? No need, the imperial physician will treat her. You should tell me what you did to Miss Qin just now!"
Bai Zhaozhao didn't say anything, but just as the palace servant was carrying Qin Sha out of the hall, she quietly shot out two flying needles, one hitting the palace servant's knee and the other hitting a certain acupuncture point on Qin Sha.
In an instant, the palace maid fell down, and Qin Sha also fell off the stretcher. At the same time, she felt a severe nausea and vomited. The ground and her body were covered with filth, making her look very embarrassed. She gasped for breath, which made everyone unable to bear to look at her.
This unexpected change surprised the Queen, and Bai Zhaozhao took the opportunity to shout, "Queen, look, Miss Qin has woken up! How fast! The imperial physician is so amazing!"
Doctor Liu looked embarrassed. How could he be so good? He hadn't cured the disease yet, okay?
But Qin Sha did "wake up". Her face was full of panic. She never expected that she would be so rude. Fainting in public was okay, but vomiting in public was too embarrassing!
Everyone was a little confused, only Bai Zhaozhao continued to speak: "Doctor, look at Miss Qin, her face is flushed, her breathing is heavy, although she is a little ugly, but there is no sign of poisoning!"
Tang Yanyan and Jiang Yuanmeng, who had just returned to the main hall, held back their laughter, looked at each other, and decided not to interfere with Bai Zhaozhao's performance.
Zhong Jingting seemed to have figured something out and burst out laughing, causing everyone around her to cover their mouths secretly.
The queen's expression changed again and again. She took a deep breath and said, "Someone, take Miss Qin down to wash her face and change her clothes before coming back!"
"Yes!"
The palace servants were very helpful and cleaned the floor as quickly as possible, while Zhong Jingting took the initiative to recount what had happened.
"So, we just need to check if there is any problem with Showa County Lord's drinks!"
