“Poisoned!” As soon as she said that, everyone present shouted in panic.
Shen Miao continued to look at Luo Xueyan and said, “Could it be that an assassin has sneaked in?”
At this moment, not only the women, but even the expressions of the princes and Emperor Wen Hui changed. At the banquet, all the civil and military officials were present. If an assassin sneaked in, the royal family would be in danger. Immediately, the guards guarding outside rushed in, their hands on the swords at their waists, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
Soon, everyone forgot about what Prince Yu said about marrying the girl from the Shen family. After all, compared to that, the looming danger was more worthy of attention.
Su Mingfeng opened his mouth and said in a low voice after a while, “Good move.”
With just one sentence from Shen Miao, everyone’s attention was diverted. Standing in the chaotic crowd, Prince Yu look like a fool.
Xie Jingxing glanced at the girl who had a worried look on her face and snorted.
Shen Miao’s eyes flickered. After spending so many years with the royal family, no one understood their paranoia better than her. Shen Qing’s scream was enough to make Emperor Wen Hui, whose life was coveted by many, panic.
“Mother, let’s find an imperial physician for Eldest Sister.” Shen Miao said, “This can’t go on.”
Only then did Luo Xueyan come back to her senses. She looked at Ren Wanyun and frowned. Shen Qing was in so much pain, but as a mother, Ren Wanyun did not rush to find a doctor for her daughter. She did not know what kind of mother she was. Immediately, Luo Xueyan bowed to Emperor Wen Hui and said, “I beg Your Majesty to invite the imperial physician to treat Qing and save her.”
As soon as she said that, before Shen Qing could speak, Ren Wanyun screamed, “No!”
Everyone’s gaze landed on Ren Wanyun.
As soon as Ren Wanyun said that, she thought to herself that she had made a terrible move. Facing so many inquisitive gazes, she forced a smile and gritted her teeth. “I… I was just thinking that it’s not necessary to invite an imperial physician to treat Qing… Don’t ruin everyone’s mood. I’ll just take Qing away…”
“What are you talking about?” Luo Xueyan said seriously, “Nothing is more important than her life. As a mother, do you think Qing’s life is not more important than the banquet?”
Everyone had a strange expression on their faces. Why was Ren Wanyun, Shen Qing’s biological mother, unwilling to find a doctor to treat her daughter, but Luo Xueyan, Shen Qing’s aunt, was anxious about Shen Qing’s life.
In the male section, Shen Gui stared at Ren Wanyun with a dark expression. He wished that this annoying mother and daughter had nothing to do with him. If Emperor Wen Hui was displeased with this incident that ruined the banquet, what would happen to his future?
“Eldest Madam Shen is right,” at last, the empress said indifferently. She glanced at Ren Wanyun and said, “Eldest Miss Shen’s life is more important.”
Ren Wanyun panicked. If Shen Qing was checked by a doctor, wouldn’t the matter of Shen Qing’s pregnancy be exposed? She said, “Your Highness…”
“I’m fine…” Shen Qing’s forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was as pale as paper. She held her stomach and was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak, but she knew that she could not let the imperial physician come over to check her.
“Sister, this not only concerns your safety, but also the safety of everyone in the hall. If you’re really poisoned, it means that an assassin has sneaked in and everyone is in danger. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for His Majesty,” Shen Miao said calmly.
