After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Chapter 196: Lady Qi's Tea Party

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze.

Concubine Qi carefully planned a small tea-tasting banquet and invited all the concubines in the harem to attend.

On the surface, this banquet seemed to be an accidental gathering, but in fact it was a trap she carefully designed.

Concubine Qi was thoughtful and worried that some concubines would be unwilling to attend, so she specially invited the Emperor to go along.

As a result, the other concubines naturally did not dare to refuse easily and went to attend the appointment one after another. However, the queen excused herself that she had a headache and was unable to attend the banquet.

At the banquet, Concubine Qi specially prepared a pot of precious flower tea, secretly mixing it with the poison she had carefully prepared.

This poison is harmless to ordinary people, but it is deadly to pregnant women.

Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong were on their way to Sui Yuxuan.

The three of them walked hand in hand intimately on the palace road.

Zhen Huan walked in the middle, holding Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong's hands respectively.

Zhen Huan lowered her voice and gently instructed, "Sister Mei, Lingrong, when you get to Concubine Qi's place later, you must be extra careful and don't eat anything casually. If someone forces you to eat, you can pretend to have morning sickness to deal with it."

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong nodded to show that they understood. They knew that this banquet might be full of dangers and they had to remain vigilant at all times.

Soon, they arrived at Concubine Qi's palace.

The hall was decorated in a unique way. The tables were filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks and teas. There were more than a dozen exquisite small teapots on each table, and a small pot of different kinds of tea was brewed one by one.

Lady Qi greeted them warmly and said with a smile: "Sisters, you have come at the right time. Come and taste the flower tea I specially prepared."

Concubine Qi walked to the emperor's side first, "Your Majesty, let me personally pour you a cup of tea."

The emperor's eyes were soft at this moment. Looking at the charming appearance of Concubine Qi, he was very satisfied. "Well, Concubine Qi prepared the tea party carefully today. It really surprised me. It was well done."

After saying this, the emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip. He closed his eyes, sniffed the aroma of the tea in the cup, and licked his lips to savor the sweetness in his mouth.

The emperor commented: "Well, this tea is good, the fragrance is very unique."

Then Concubine Qi personally poured a cup of tea for each of the concubines.

Zhen Huan waved her hands and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, noble lady Qi, but I just don't have a good appetite these days, so I really can't drink."

Then Concubine Qi poured tea for Concubine Hua, saying flattering words: "Madam Hua, this tea can beautify your skin, please drink more."

Concubine Hua couldn't stand Concubine Qi's face the most. She ignored Concubine Qi's words and turned to look away.

Concubine Qi knew that Concubine Hua didn't like her, and her goal today was not to go against Concubine Hua. Her target was Concubine An and Concubine Hui.

Afterwards, Concubine Qi poured tea for Concubine Jing, and then came to the middle position between Shen Meiyu and An Lingrong's seats.

She smiled and poured tea for Shen Meiyu first, saying, "Empress Hui, Empress An." She also turned around and called An Lingrong.

"Today's tea is good for the health of the two sisters. You should drink more. There are many varieties of tea." Concubine Qi thought: Every tea has Yanhualu. You should drink more. I wish you will have no children soon. Hum~

Shen Meizhuang didn't refuse nor did she drink it right away. She just smiled and said, "My sister is thoughtful."

"This is what a younger sister should do." Concubine Qi said softly.

After she poured tea for An Lingrong, she reminded her again, "If you two sisters find any tea delicious, please tell me and I will have someone prepare some for you."

An Lingrong smiled, "Thank you very much, noble lady Qi."

However, An Lingrong was thinking that she had to act more realistically with Sister Mei.

The emperor sat at the top, picked up the cup of tea, and sipped the various teas one sip after another. With a satisfied smile on his face, he praised: "This tea has a mellow taste and a fragrant aroma. It's really good tea!"

He put down the teacup, turned to look at the concubines in the audience, and said, "Today, Noble Lady Qi specially prepared a tea tasting party. I think the teas are really good. My dear concubines, please try them." After that, he picked up another cup of tea and continued to taste it.

But at this time, Concubine Xi knew very well that Concubine Qi was up to no good, so she did not taste any tea.

Even if it wasn't poisonous, she wouldn't want to drink it. After all, she disliked Concubine Qi. No matter how good the tea was, she would never drink a sip.

She secretly thought in her heart that in the previous life, Concubine Qi and her father caused her Zhen family to be exiled to Ningguta and suffer. She would be able to avenge this hatred soon. In this life, she would not give Concubine Qi the opportunity to harm their Zhen family again.

At the same time, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

They all raised their teacups together, clinked their cups together, then raised the cups to their mouths and pretended to take a sip, but in fact they poured the tea under the table.

Because their sleeves are very wide, they cleverly conceal the action of pouring tea, making it difficult to notice.

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong made retching sounds at the same time, "Ugh... ugh... ugh..."

They pinched themselves hard, and their faces turned pale and weak, as if they had lost all their strength.

This scene shocked everyone present and they all looked at him with concern.

Zhen Huan immediately stood up, walked quickly to the two of them, and asked anxiously: "Sister Mei, Lingrong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? You look so bad, and your morning sickness wasn't this severe before."

Shen Meizhuang reluctantly raised her hand, waved it, and said weakly, "Huan'er, please ask Doctor Wen to come over for me."

Zhen Huan's face instantly became nervous and flustered, and her eyes were filled with worry.

She turned to the emperor and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Sister Mei and Lingrong don't seem to be in a good condition. We must ask Imperial Doctor Wen to take a look."

The emperor frowned, looked at the two people's painful expressions with heartache, and said hurriedly: "Go quickly, call Doctor Wen."

Zhen Huan nodded and turned to Liu Zhu beside her and said, "Liu Zhu, go and get Doctor Wen to Sui Yu Xuan."

Liuzhu responded and quickly trotted out of Shuiyuxuan.

At this moment, Concubine Qi looked a little flustered. Her originally rosy face turned as pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly. However, she quickly adjusted her expression and tried to make herself look calm.

"No," she said silently to herself, "That's the medicine my father gave me, how could it be wrong? And the effect of the medicine can't be seen so quickly! Guarjia Wenyuan, you have to stay calm and composed, don't be scared by this little change."
