Chapter 392: Bastard, who is it? Who drugged this prince?
Chu Zixi's eyes flickered when she heard this. Yu Dabian beside her whispered in Chu Zixi's ear: "Princess, although Princess Heshun is locked up in the mansion, she lives a carefree life with her lover every day."
Chu Zixi took a sip of tea, her expression indifferent, and she said slowly: "The princess has found the wrong person."
Xiao Yan'er's face was ugly for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She forced a smile, "Yan'er also knows that it was my mother who did all the wrong things, so I won't embarrass the emperor's aunt, and today I will just pretend that I never said anything."
After saying this, Xiao Yan'er bowed slightly again and turned to leave.
Chu Zixi looked at her figure. So easy to talk to?
She softly instructed Yu Da: "Yu Da, keep an eye on her. This princess doesn't want anything to happen today."
Yu Da retreated in response.
It was almost noon and the guests in the palace were taking their seats.
Even the emperor and the empress dowager were present, adding more brilliance to the feast.
The spacious and bright hall was magnificent, solemn and elegant. The Queen Mother sat high on the throne, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, showing her dignity and majesty. However, when her eyes fell on Chu Zixi, her dislike was revealed without reservation, and her eyes flashed with disgust and disdain.
Chu Zixi seemed unaware, her face was as calm as water, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
She gracefully took the tea from Xiaolu, her movements gentle and careful, and then respectfully handed the tea to the Queen Mother, saying softly, "Mother, please have some tea."
The Queen Mother's face darkened, and she just reached out her hand to knock over the teacup to express her dissatisfaction with Chu Zixi.
However, at this moment, Jun Feimo on the side coughed lightly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she finally slowly took the tea, reluctantly took a small sip, and then put the teacup heavily back on the table.
There was still no smile on her face, only a cold look. She stared at Chu Zixi, as if she was telling her her dissatisfaction with her eyes.
Upon seeing this, the emperor laughed and tried to break the awkward atmosphere: "I wish my sister-in-law and Feimo a happy marriage and a son soon!" His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the hall.
Chu Zixi smiled slightly and bowed gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her voice neither loud nor soft.
Chu Zixi couldn't help but roll her eyes. This old woman was so annoying. She really wanted to poison her again for fun.
Jun Feimo gently held her hand and whispered, "Xier."
Chu Zixi curled her lips helplessly and had to temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction. Anyway, as long as the old woman didn't take the initiative to provoke her, she didn't bother to pay attention.
As the music slowly sounded, a group of dancers in brightly dressed walked lightly into the center of the hall and began to dance gracefully.
Their dancing is so graceful and moving, like fairies descending to earth, which makes people intoxicated.
The guests at the banquet applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful. The wedding banquet was in full swing, with red candles shining brightly and guests filling the seats, creating a festive and peaceful scene.
However, just when the banquet reached its climax, the Queen Mother suddenly left her seat in a hurry and returned to the palace, citing illness as an excuse.
Although this change was a bit abrupt, the people present did not pay too much attention to it.
After all, the Queen Mother had never had much affection for one of the protagonists of this wedding, Princess Zhan Chu Zixi. Therefore, her early departure was just another subtle expression of dissatisfaction with Chu Zixi in the eyes of everyone.
After the Queen Mother left, the banquet did not cool down, but became even more lively.
Many ministers took this opportunity to toast King Zhan Jun Feimo, trying to make their presence felt in front of this powerful prince.
Jun Feimo seemed particularly easy to talk to today, and he welcomed everyone who came. For a moment, there was a lot of laughter and joy, as if the whole banquet was immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
However, at this moment, Yu Da quietly came to Chu Zixi and whispered a few words.
Chu Zixi's expression suddenly darkened, and a trace of solemnity emerged on her originally beautiful face.
After a moment, Chu Zixi nodded slightly, stood up, and walked straight to the backyard without any hesitation.
The guests around noticed Chu Zixi's sudden departure, but they didn't know what had happened.
Some people looked at her back curiously, guessing the possible reasons; while others continued to enjoy the joyous atmosphere of the banquet and did not take this scene to heart.
Yuda followed closely behind, and the two of them walked through the winding corridors and came to a remote room.
Chu Zixi opened the door and walked in. Yu Da followed closely behind her and whispered, "Princess, the prince was knocked unconscious by his men."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zixi hurried into the room.
Prince Jun Yin's face was flushed, cold sweat was on his forehead, his brows were furrowed, and his lips were trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Chu Zixi took out a thin silver needle from her sleeve without any hesitation, and then carefully inserted the tip of the needle into Jun Yin's acupuncture point.
As she moved, a faint stream of true energy passed from the silver needle into Jun Yin's body and began to detoxify him.
Chu Zixi's technique was extremely skillful, and each needle was extremely precise, as perfect as a textbook. With her efforts, Jun Yin's complexion gradually returned to normal, and his breathing also stabilized.
Not long after, Jun Yin slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. When he saw Chu Zixi, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained consciousness.
"Aunt Imperial? Why are you here? What happened to me?" Jun Yin struggled to sit up, rubbed his temples, and tried to recall what had happened before.
Chu Zixi stood quietly beside the bed, looking at him calmly, and said softly: "Prince, don't you remember?"
Jun Yin frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he suddenly remembered something and his expression gradually became solemn.
"I remember... a maid accidentally wet my clothes with tea, and then took me to Fenglin Pavilion to change clothes. I just walked into the room and was about to change clothes when I suddenly lost consciousness." Jun Yin said as he recalled.
Chu Zixi said in a deep voice: "The prince was poisoned by an aphrodisiac. I have helped you to remove the aphrodisiac. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
Jun Yin looked at Chu Zixi gratefully, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Jun Yin thanked Chu Zixi solemnly.
Chu Zixi smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. The prince is the crown prince of the country. Besides, this is in the palace. This princess will naturally not allow such a thing to happen."
Jun Yin's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who on earth is it, bastard? Who drugged this prince?"
