The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 402 Poisoning
Bianjing Qi State Mansion.

Qi Guogong and his wife, Princess Pingning, sat in the study with terrified faces.

Although the empress dowager's rebellion did not affect the Duke of Qi's mansion, after Sheng Minglan became the crown princess, the couple became a little afraid.

Back then when Qi Heng wanted to marry Sheng Minglan, Princess Pingning forced her to die, and even bumped into a pillar. In the end, Qi Heng had no choice but to give up Sheng Minglan and marry his current wife, Shen Shi.

But in the blink of an eye, Sheng Minglan married into Prince Ying's mansion, Qi Guogong and his wife were a little scared.

Now that Sheng Minglan has given birth to the emperor's grandson, her status has risen again and again, King Ying has been named the crown prince, and Minglan has also become the crown prince, her status is no longer the same.

Duke Qi and Princess Ning now have to respectfully call Sheng Minglan "Prince Princess".

They are now worried that Ming Lan will remember what happened back then and target the Duke's Mansion and Qi Heng.

Even if Minglan doesn't make a move, the current Sheng family alone is not something Duke Qi can provoke.

After Sheng Minglan gave birth to the emperor's grandson, the status of the Sheng family also changed.

Sheng Hong, who was originally a minor official of the fifth rank, has suddenly become the grandfather of the emperor's grandson, a standard royal relative, and now even the prime minister has to politely call Sheng Hong "Mr. Sheng" when he sees Sheng Hong.

Sheng Changbai was also transferred from the Imperial Academy to Yushitai, and became Qi Heng's immediate boss.

Not to mention the other son of the Sheng family, because he protected the emperor's grandson from giving birth smoothly, he resolutely became the most trusted person in the royal family.

When Qi Guogong thought of the powerful Sheng family, he had a severe headache.

"Ma'am, in ten days it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Sheng family. Do you think we should prepare a big gift to ease the relationship between the two families?" Qi Guogong said to Princess Pingning.

"I prepared it a long time ago, and even contacted the eldest sister of the Sheng family's natal family to help make peace." Princess Pingning sighed:
"Who would have thought that that little concubine would suddenly fly up a branch and become a phoenix, become a princess and give birth to a little grandson."

Qi Guogong also sighed, if he had known today, he shouldn't have done things so badly in the first place.

Doesn't the son just want to marry a concubine?Just let him marry.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world!

"My son was not suppressed by the Sheng family in the court. He worked under Sheng Changbai, and there was nothing wrong with him. The princess should not deal with our family." Princess Pingning said.

"I hope so!" Duke Qi could only take one step at a time.

Princess Pingning asked Wang Ruofu's sister Kang Wang for help, and sent many gifts to Mrs. Sheng.

Kang Wang took a small part of it privately, and then dragged most of it to Mrs. Sheng.

"Old lady, this is a birthday gift that Princess Pingning asked me to bring to you."

Kang Wang thought it was just a trivial matter, so she ran to Sheng's house without paying attention, but she didn't see the winks that her younger sister Wang Ruofu kept giving her.

Seeing the gifts in the room, Mrs. Sheng probably guessed Princess Pingning's thoughts.

But what happened back then, Old Madam Sheng also had a thorn in her heart.

At the beginning, she had the cheek to go to Duke Qi's mansion, thinking that with her old face, Princess Pingning could always sell her face, but in the end she lost all her face.

With the current power of the Sheng family, Mrs. Sheng doesn't have to give Qi Guogong's face any more.

"Take the gift back and tell Princess Pingning, the old lady, I am not blessed to accept her gift."

Kang Wang's original smiling face suddenly froze.

"Old lady, this is a gift from Mrs. Qi Guogong." Kang Wang reminded.

The old lady Sheng snorted coldly, and said: "Old lady, although I am old, my ears are not bad. I know who gave the gift. Please tell me where you came from."

It's not that old lady Sheng is unkind, but that she is a little uncertain about what Sheng Minglan is thinking about Qi Heng now, and she doesn't want to cause trouble.

Besides, even though Sheng Minglan became the crown princess, she has not yet reached the point where she can sit back and relax.

Old Madam Sheng was also worried about Minglan and Qi Heng's affairs, and that outsiders would find out about it and make a fuss about it, which would bring her unnecessary troubles.

It would be better to offend the Duke of Qi and create the illusion of discord between the two parties, which would be more beneficial to Minglan.

Mrs. Sheng thinks of her granddaughter in everything, but Mrs. Kang Wang doesn't know it!

She accepted a gift from Princess Pingning to help, and even took part of the gift. If she just went back like this, how would she explain it.

Kang Wang couldn't help looking at Wang Ruofu, hoping that she could help talk about Xiang Xiang.

In the end, Wang Ruofu spoke up for his sister for the sake of the sister, but it aroused the dissatisfaction of Mrs. Sheng even more.

"Don't forget, you are the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family now." The old lady scolded Wang Ruofu severely.

In the end, Wang Ruofu and Kang Wang were kicked out of Shou'an Hall by the old lady. Many servants in the mansion saw that the sisters were very embarrassing.

After Kang Wang and Wang Ruofu returned to their yard, Kang Wang immediately cursed in the direction of Shou'an Hall:
"This old woman really thinks of herself as your mother-in-law. She is only Sheng Hong's aunt, not her biological mother."

Wang Ruofu sighed: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears."

"What are you afraid of? I dare to say that in front of her." Kang Wang said unconvinced:
"Sister, you are the head of the Sheng family! How could she treat you like this!"

Wang Ruofu sighed and said: "The old lady has such a high status in the Sheng family that even the officials can't do anything about it. Now that my dearest granddaughter has become the princess again, of course she is invincible."

Kang Wangshi heard the resentment in Wang Ruofu's words, rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, why don't we teach that old woman a lesson."

Wang Ruofu was shocked and asked: "Sister, what do you want to do? Don't mess around, the old lady is really going to have an accident, let alone the princess, even the officials can't spare me."

Kang Wang said indifferently: "I just want to secretly put some laxatives in the old lady's pastries, so that she will have diarrhea for a few days."

When Wang Ruofu heard it, his heart was half relieved, but he still shook his head and said: "No, no, the old lady is sick, and the princess will definitely ask the imperial doctor to treat her. What if it is found on our head."

Seeing that Wang Ruofu was a little moved, Wang Kang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? When the imperial doctor came, he thought that the old woman had eaten something wrong. How could he find us."

Wang Ruofu was completely moved.

In fact, during the recent period, Wang Ruofu's life was not good.

As Wang Gang and Sheng Minglan's status became higher and higher, Wang Ruofu swallowed his anger everywhere in the Sheng family, and now he was a head shorter when he saw Lin Sushuang.

The old lady Sheng's reprimand today ignited Wang Ruofu's flame of revenge.

"Sister, is it really just a laxative?" Wang Ruofu asked in a low voice.

Seeing Wang Ruofu taking the bait, Kang Wang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

…………

A few days later, Wang Gang was working in the Ministry of War. Recently, the development of black powder had reached a critical moment, and he had to keep an eye on it.

Suddenly, a servant from the Sheng Mansion ran over and told Wang Gang that Mrs. Sheng was dying, and asked him to go home and see her for the last time.

Wang Gang was shocked, and he didn't care about other things. He greeted Shangguan and ran to Sheng's mansion.

When he arrived, he found that many people had already arrived, even Hai Chaoyun had received the news and rushed over.

"What happened to grandma, didn't she look fine a few days ago?" Wang Gang grabbed Hai Chaoyun who arrived first and asked.

"Officer, I just arrived too, I don't know what happened."

Wang Gang turned his head to look at Sheng Changbai's daughter-in-law, Liu Shi.

Liu said: "This morning the old lady said she was not feeling well, but it wasn't too serious, so we didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, people collapsed at noon. We invited the doctor over, and the doctor said that the old lady had returned to heaven and asked us to prepare for the funeral. "

Wang Gang was startled, thought of something, couldn't help looking at Wang Ruofu.

Wang Ruofu was guilty of being a thief, and kept hiding behind the crowd, shaking his head, not daring to look at the old lady.

Wang Gang had an idea in his mind immediately, and immediately shouted to the servants of the Sheng family: "Take my waist card immediately and go to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial physician."

After the servants invited the imperial physician, Wang Gang said to Lin Sushuang, "Notify father and second elder brother to come back immediately. Don't notify elder sister, fourth younger sister, fifth younger sister, and sixth younger sister for now."

"I have already sent someone to notify your father. Erlang has official business and is not in Bianjing, so forget about the others. The Crown Princess has the best relationship with the old lady, so it would be inappropriate not to notify him!

If she doesn't see the old lady for the last time, will she blame us? "

With Sheng Minglan becoming the Crown Princess, her status in the Sheng family is no longer the same. Apart from the old lady and Wang Gang, even Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai are more or less afraid of her in the house.

"Wait until the imperial doctor comes to treat grandma." Wang Gang left a sentence, and then pulled Master Liao out of the house.

"Master, please ask some servants to guard all the entrances and exits of the mansion. From this moment on, only entry and no exit are allowed in the mansion."

Master Liao realized something, widened his eyes and said: "Could it be that the old lady's illness..."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Everything will be clear when the imperial doctor comes."

The servants quickly invited the imperial physician, and Sheng Hong also returned home.

After the imperial doctor took the old lady's pulse, his complexion suddenly changed. Wang Gang knew it in his heart, and suddenly turned his head and said to Wang Ruofu:
"Miss Wang, what did you feed the old lady?"

Everyone in the room was startled by Wang Gang's words.

Wang Ruofu was guilty of being a thief and cried out even more.

"Sanlang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I asked my servants, the old lady only ate the pastry you sent someone to bring today, and she felt uncomfortable after eating it. Are you still planning to hide it?" Wang Gang stared, and the murderous aura raised on the battlefield burst out. .

Wang Ruofu was just a woman and a child, and his brain was not yet smart, so he couldn't bear Wang Gang's aura, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, calling everything out.
