Chapter 773 Nian Siting takes action
Chapter 773 Nian Siting takes action
Just at this moment, the picture from the palace was transmitted over.
The palace banquet had not officially started yet, but many ministers had already arrived early with their families.
In the minds of these ministers, although Nian Xiaoqing has not yet ascended the throne, he is no different from the emperor.
At this moment, he didn't know about Nian Siting and Nian Zhiyun. He just felt that among the living princes, Nian Xiaoqing was the most suitable one in terms of ability and prestige.
In the hall, many court officials greeted each other:
"Master Wang, you're here really early!"
"Master Liu, you're not too late!"
"This is the first banquet since the Seventh Prince took over as regent, so we have to come early."
At the court meeting a few days ago, these ministers proposed that Nian Xiaoqing ascend the throne as soon as possible and then fill the harem.
You know, besides his wife, Nian Xiaoqing has no one else in his backyard.
Nian Xiaoqing did not reject the suggestions of these ministers, but only said that now was not the right time and they should talk about it later.
Today, these ministers all brought their daughters of marriageable age to the banquet, hoping that Nian Xiaoqing would take a liking to their children.
If they could really be noticed by Nian Xiaoqing, then their family would also be able to rise to prominence overnight.
After everyone had this idea, they all came very early today.
After Song Yaoyao finished washing up, she walked towards the hall.
As she walked, she talked to Guagua:
[The banquet hasn't started yet, it's a bit early for you to call me.
I might as well sleep a little longer if I have this much time. 】
Guagua: [It’s not too early. ]
Song Yaoyao: [Don’t you know? I’m growing up, and sleep is very important to me.]
Guagua: [It’s just a little early! ]
Song Yaoyao: [Not even a little bit. ]
Gua Gua: [Host, do you want to quarrel again?
If you have the guts, get up by yourself next time and don’t let me wake you up! 】
Song Yaoyao: [No, next time you encounter something like this, you have to call me! ]
Guagua rolled his eyes:
[In that case, stop nagging! ]
Song Yaoyao: [It’s too early to start with, and you don’t allow me to say anything. ]
Guagua: [You are not allowed to say it!]
If you keep doing this, I will call you earlier next time!
I don’t believe that I can’t cure your bad habits. 】
Song Yaoyao: Guagua, you are deliberately going against me, right? 】
Gua Gua: [I’ve never seen a host as unreasonable as you!
snort!】
Song Yaoyao: [Are you angry? ]
Guagua: [What do you think?]
Song Yaoyao: [It's just a small matter, why are you angry again? ]
Guagua: [Is it my fault? ]
……
From a distance, Song Qinghui and the others heard the voices of Gua Gua and Song Yaoyao. They were fine just now, why were they quarreling again?
They pricked up their ears and listened carefully. The more they listened, the more speechless they became. Over such a small matter, the two of them started arguing again.
When Song Yaoyao arrived, she saw that everyone was there and said:
"Today, there are so many people here!"
"Yes, we haven't sat together for a long time. Today is New Year's Eve, so it's a good opportunity for us to get together."
"It should."
Song Yaoyao's eyes were inevitably attracted by the food.
On the table, there were five or six kinds of snacks from Guiyuzhai, and in addition, there were many other delicacies...
Song Yaoyao sat down immediately and picked up a piece of dessert to taste it.
Everyone sat together and chatted.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from the screen above Song Yaoyao's head:
"The Seventh Prince has arrived."
Everyone immediately looked at the screen.
In the video, Nian Xiaoqing appeared.
Appearing with Nian Xiaoqing was his princess!
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Nian Xiaoqing and his princess walked to the upper seat and sat down, then said:
"No gift."
Everyone sat down again.
Nian Xiaoqing gave an opening speech. Song Yaoyao looked around at the people at the palace banquet and asked:
[Guagua, the twelfth and thirteenth princes didn't attend the palace banquet today? ]
Guagua: [No.
Yesterday, you told Chen Yixiao that Nian Siting was planning to take action at the palace banquet.
He immediately sent someone to inform the Twelfth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince.
The two of them asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine, and after taking it, they both had vomiting and diarrhea, and because of this, they had a stomach upset yesterday, so they did not attend the palace banquet today. 】
Song Yaoyao: [They are both smart and took the opportunity to avoid this trouble! ]
As he was speaking, Nian Xiaoqing had finished his speech and the dancers were already dancing in the banquet hall.
Everyone clinked glasses and exchanged cups...
Suddenly, no matter who shouted first:
"Oh, my stomach hurts!"
After the first complaint, there was a second one, and more and more people complained of stomachache.
When Nian Xiaoqing saw this scene, he knew that the food at today's banquet had been tampered with.
Nian Xiaoqing was also shocked by what was happening before his eyes. He immediately shouted:
"Please call the imperial physician, please call the imperial physician."
Afterwards, Nian Xiaoqing issued another order:
"Strengthen the guard."
"Yes."
After giving the order, Nian Xiaoqing felt his stomach aching, and his princess also lay on the table, sweating from the pain.
The imperial physician had not arrived yet, but there was a commotion outside the hall, and Nian Siting came with his men.
Nian Siting's men used poison, and the palace guards were no match for them and soon fell down.
Nian Siting and his men walked into the hall in a swagger.
The ministers all looked at Nian Siting in astonishment.
Nian Siting laughed wantonly:
"Everyone, long time no see!
Are you curious?
Actually, there is nothing to be curious about. It is just what everyone thinks.
These years, I have been playing dumb!
No, you can’t say that.
This king was indeed stupid once, but I have recovered a long time ago.
You don't need to make a fuss. If I hadn't been playing dumb all these years, I and my mother would have been killed long ago.
In order to stay alive, I can only continue to play dumb after I recover from my illness!"
A minister asked:
"My Lord, what you are talking about is your royal family's affairs, and has nothing to do with us ministers, right?
I don’t know about others, but I have never offended you, right?
Why did you give the old minister drugs? "
“This, there is nothing we can do about it!
With so much alcohol, I wasn't sure which one would be delivered to Lao Qi. To ensure everything was foolproof, I had to put drugs in all the alcohol.
Don't worry, we only took a small amount of the medicine. It won't take your life immediately, but it will just make you suffer a little.
As the saying goes, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!
As long as you agree to follow me, I will immediately give you the antidote."
"What if we refuse to follow the prince?"
"Haha, then you will be tortured to death by the pain!"
"you……"
Nian Siting ignored the man's angry expression and said:
"You can think about it carefully, but I want to remind you that if you don't take the antidote within twelve hours, your intestines will burst and your stomachs will rot and you will die!"
