Chapter 345: Female Supreme and Destiny Princess 24
Jiang Yao looked at Shan Lang for a long while, and after realizing this, she decided not to remind Shan Lang about this.
If Shan Lang was also a predator, her words would most likely alert the enemy.
She simply pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Grandma, I still want to play for a few more years. When are you going to let those people in the brothel go back?"
Shan Lang smiled and raised his hand to flick Jiang Yao's head: "Now that you are the crown prince, why do you still think about playing every day?"
Jiang Yao covered her forehead and cried out in injustice, "Grandma, this is the only time I can play. Please be kind and let them all go back."
Shan Lang snorted and laughed, then called the butler beside him: "Butler Liu, go and release those young servants."
"Thank you, grandma." Jiang Yao looked at Shan Lang's actions, her eyes darkening.
Everyone saw how Shan Lang doted on Jiang Yao, but this doting was more like spoiling.
He is completely different from the Dan Lang in the original owner's memory who taught her strategic essays and wrote national policies.
If that were the case, Jiang Yao would not be able to determine whether Shan Lang was the plunderer.
But the opportunity soon came, on the night when Jiang Qing and the others decided to drug him.
Just a few days later, the palace held a banquet to make up for the loss and welcome the Holy Son.
This banquet can be called luxurious. All officials were ordered by the Queen to come from all directions. Everyone dressed up and the table was filled with delicacies before they arrived. Everyone was toasting and chatting.
Dancers and male dancers came on stage one after another.
Gong Ze was sitting next to Jiang Yao, and their sitting postures formed a sharp contrast.
Jiang Yao lazily supported her back with her left elbow, holding a wine glass in her right hand. She didn't drink, but just shook it in her hand. She was half lying on the seat, and she didn't sit properly.
Miyazawa, on the other hand, sat upright with his back straight, enjoying the food politely.
Many of them came forward to toast the two of them, most of them were toasting Jiang Yao, but their eyes were fixed on Gong Ze.
The Holy Palace chose the Third Princess, who had always been a dissolute princess, as the one with the emperor's destiny. They were initially skeptical. After all, the empress had always doted on the Third Princess. If she lost her mind for a moment and forged such a statement, it was not impossible.
They even said that the Holy Son of the Holy Palace was going to marry the Third Princess. They couldn't believe their ears and felt that the world was about to change.
You know, the Holy Palace has never been involved in worldly affairs, and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter are extremely noble beings. How could immortals be with mortals?
But now when they saw the cold and elegant Son of the Holy Palace sitting next to Jiang Yao, they looked at Jiang Yao's equally bright and beautiful appearance and fell silent.
It seems that the third princess also looks like an immortal.
No matter! It’s always right to please the Third Princess first!
Facing the toasts from others, Jiang Yao accepted them all. After all, she had an unusually good alcohol tolerance. Although her face was flushed, her eyes were clear.
After sending away the last minister, Jiang Yao sat up straight, moved closer to Gong Ze and asked:
"Miyazawa, how do you know where the food is and how do you pick it up so accurately?"
The aroma of peach blossom wine permeated into his nose as the visitor approached. Miyazawa was slightly stunned. After hearing the question clearly, he said in a calm tone: "Because..."
The banquet was too noisy, and Jiang Yao wasn't staring at Gong Ze just now, so she didn't hear it clearly.
She simply turned around and asked again: "What did you say?"
Miyazawa repeated it again, but Jiang Yao found it very strange. She was clearly staring at Miyazawa, but she just couldn't hear clearly.
Gong Ze seemed a little helpless, so he simply leaned towards Jiang Yao. His voice was accompanied by the cool night breeze: "I can see the smell of food, so I can naturally know where they are."
"Does that mean that you saw my anger and you also know what I look like?" Jiang Yao's heart moved, she turned her head and asked teasingly.
"No." Miyazawa answered seriously, "I can only feel the outline, and I don't know what Your Highness looks like."
Jiang Yao chuckled and said, "Then what's the difference between me and others?"
Miyazawa nodded and said, "Of course it's different. Your Highness's aura is stronger than anyone else's. Even if I can't see it, I can only feel it from you."
Jiang Yao wanted to ask more questions, but heard the sound of cups falling to the ground not far away.
Jiang Yao looked up and saw Shan Lang looking angrily at the servant kneeling on the ground, and at her feet was the cup that made the sound.
"How dare you poison this general!" Shan Lang's eyes were full of sinisterness. She drew the sword from her waist and cut off the boy's head. The blood dyed the ground in front of her red.
She looked around and said in an extremely cold tone: "Seal off the scene and arrest all the possible perpetrators of the poisoning."
Oh my god! The general actually gave orders without the permission of the queen. Not only that, he even attacked with a knife! How arrogant!
The empress, who was feeling somewhat guilty at first, was immediately furious when she heard this, and her face immediately turned cold: "General Shan, this banquet is to welcome the Holy Son of the Holy Palace. You kill people at will in this palace and prohibit people from entering and leaving. Do you think you don't take me seriously?"
A hint of mockery flashed across Shan Lang's eyes. She didn't even kneel down, but bowed to the Queen. The sword that could kill people was still in her hand. She said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty is confused. If this poison can be put in my cup, it may be put in your cup at any time. For your Majesty's safety, I will naturally eliminate all hidden dangers."
As soon as she said this, all the rational and crooked ideas were spoken by her alone.
If the Queen did not allow Shan Lang to seal off the scene, it would be tantamount to having something to hide; if she condoned Shan Lang's behavior, not only would her prestige be greatly lost, but she would even be at risk of being found out for poisoning.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Shan Lang raised his head and said to himself: "Since Your Majesty has no other opinions, then let me do this."
"No need."
A soft voice sounded from the side.
Everyone looked up and saw that the maid beside the Second Princess Jiang Yun suddenly picked up Jiang Qing and threw her in the center of the hall.
Jiang Qing was horrified: "Jiang Yun, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yun lowered her eyes and looked at Jiang Qing, her eyes full of disapproval: "Big Sister, I saw with my own eyes that you had contact with the palace servant who poisoned it, and you personally gave it a medicine bottle."
Jiang Qing's eyes widened in astonishment, and he subconsciously said, "You are talking nonsense!"
This matter was clearly done by Qi Feng, so how could she possibly contact that palace maid in person?
Jiang Yun didn't seem surprised by Jiang Qing's denial. She signaled the palace servant behind her to bring up two things on a plate:
"These two handkerchiefs belong to the eldest princess, right?"
When Jiang Yao saw the handkerchief on the plate, she was stunned for a moment.
Those two handkerchiefs! They were the two handkerchiefs she used to open the envelopes at the bar. How did they end up in Jiang Yun's hands?
