Chapter 250 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, Accused of Poisoning

In the golden autumn of September, Qushang Pavilion is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with orange-yellow chrysanthemums blooming all over the fields, accompanied by clusters of pale purple and white daisies.

Male guests sat on the left and female guests on the right. The young men and women dressed up carefully, not only to appreciate the chrysanthemums, but also to take the opportunity to see their sweethearts or express their feelings.

"Why hasn't Renbao arrived yet?"

As the owner of Qushang Pavilion, Leshang sat in the main seat, wearing a scarlet ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and her hair was adorned with dazzling jeweled hairpins.

She looked around but couldn't see Renbao, and felt a little disappointed. She pouted and played with the priceless jade cup in her hand.

Su Tang held a bouquet of daisies and gracefully presented it to her: "Ninth Princess, this is for you."

She had delicate features, neatly styled hair, and a straight back, which made her look quite elegant.

Le Chang looked her up and down, a carefree smile playing on her lips: "Who are you?"

"I am Renbao's younger sister, named Tangtang." Su Tang realized that Leshang in front of her was not easy to approach, so she imitated Renbao's manner, showing a sweet smile and tilting her head to look at the person.

Shen Yanci immediately recognized that she was imitating Ren Bao and frowned.

"A poor imitation." Yue Chang sneered. "I remember that Minister Su only had two daughters. Besides Renbao, the other one is Sister Shuying. What kind of sister is that?"

Su Tang was stunned, biting her lip in embarrassment, tears welling in her eyes: "Ninth Princess, you are unaware of this."

"I don't know then." Yue Chang waved her hand impatiently. "Get out of here."

Su Tang couldn't continue acting; tears welled up in her eyes.

"The Little Celestial Master has arrived."

The maid's voice came to report.

Le Chang's eyes lit up, and everyone looked towards the doorway at the same time.

Renbao was dressed in a jet-black ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with the hem dyed bright red today, making her walk like a flower in full bloom.

The gold lock around his neck was still very eye-catching, and his head was also covered in gold, which looked heavy. Yet Renbao walked lightly, swaying back and forth, looking both majestic and charming.

Su Shuying, who was holding her hand, was wearing a flowing white silk dress, made of fabric specially supplied from the Western Regions. There were only four of these in the capital, and two were given to the Empress and Yang Guifei.

The remaining two bolts were given to Renbao, who preferred black and specially reserved them for Su Shuying to make a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

The ladies of the capital all looked at her with envy in her ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and because she was beautiful and had an ethereal air about her, they couldn't take their eyes off her.

The men stared at her intently, their eyes filled with amazement.

"Sister." Renbao grabbed Su Shuying's hand and said happily, "Everyone is looking at your sister, it must be because she's so beautiful."

Su Shuying tugged at her little hand: "You're so sweet-talking."

"Renbao, come here." Le Chang waved to Renbao, then nodded to Su Shuying, "Sister Shuying, please take a seat."

Su Shuying gently patted Renbao's head and said softly, "Go on, Renbao."

She found her seat and sat down.

The ladies from prominent families around her all came forward to greet Su Shuying.

Su Shuying responded with a faint smile. She wasn't as aloof as she appeared on the surface. All the young ladies from prominent families wanted to befriend her, and her smile was much more genuine.

She's the Little Celestial Master's older sister!

Being on good terms with someone only brings benefits, not harm.

Zhang Mingzhu gritted her teeth as she looked at Su Shuying, who was being fawned over by everyone.

Another person who broke down was Su Tang, who gripped her sleeve tightly and stared at Ren Bao.

"Sister Leshang!" Renbao hopped over to Leshang on his chubby little legs, pulled a candied hawthorn out of his pocket, and said in a childish voice, "Here, this is for you."

Le Chang was about to go and pick her up.

Su Tang suddenly stood up: "Ninth Princess, you can't eat the candied hawthorn that Renbao gave you."

Le Chang looked at her: "It's you again."

Renbao frowned: "You unlucky bastard, what are you doing?"

"The candied hawthorn in your hand is poisoned. I saw it with my own eyes. You poisoned it," Su Tang said, pointing at the candied hawthorn in her hand.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

All eyes were on them, their expressions filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The maid protected Yue Chang and watched Ren Bao warily.

Su Shuying immediately stood up, picked up Renbao, turned around and stared at Su Tang, shouting sternly, "I bought the candied hawthorns myself, just a quarter of an hour ago. Where were you then? What makes you say that? Do you have any evidence?"

Su Tang was stumped by the question.

Su Chengxiao entered at that moment.

He just wanted to show off and display the authority of his elders.

He also wanted to ask Su Tang why she wanted to see him.

"Uncle saw it with his own eyes." Su Tang pointed at him.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

Su Chengxiao stopped in his tracks, stunned. What had he just witnessed?

"Uncle, did Sister Shuying and Renbao poison the candied hawthorns in an attempt to harm the Ninth Princess?" Su Tang asked seriously, while giving him a meaningful look.

Su Chengxiao's mind raced for a moment: "Ah...right! I saw it with my own eyes."

He paused after he finished speaking.

Didn't he see it?

If he gets proven wrong, he'll get scolded again.

Su Chengxiao had a bad feeling, but he saw Su Tang's resolute words and determined expression.

She must have evidence.

Renbao tilted his head and looked at the group, saying in a childish voice, "What are you all talking about? Candied hawthorns are poisonous? How come I didn't know that?"

She opened her mouth and took a bite of the candied hawthorn, crunching and enjoying it immensely.

She swallowed it and then shrugged.

"It's not poisonous."

Le Chang ran up to Ren Bao, snatched the candied hawthorn from her hand, took a few bites, and threw the fork at Su Tang: "I'd eat it even if it's poisoned, what's it to you?"

"Your Highness!" The maidservants rushed around Su Tang anxiously, "Imperial Physician! Quickly, summon the Imperial Physician!"

Shen Yanci stood up, strode forward, and said sharply, "As you all know, my legs were crippled before, and I was in a wheelchair for many years. It was Renbao who cured my legs. Her medical skills are second to none in the capital."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Many young women from prominent families stood up to testify.

"Young Master Shen is right. The Little Celestial Master is kind-hearted. How could he possibly harm the Ninth Princess?"

"Is Miss Su suffering from hysteria? She just blurts things out."

"Could it be that she's jealous of the Little Celestial Master being favored by the Ninth Princess?"

Su Tang Circle.

A cacophony of voices arose, and the maids exchanged bewildered glances. They had just accompanied Yue Chang back to the capital and had heard of Renbao's medical skills, but had never actually witnessed them.

They were Le Chang's maids, and her safety was a matter of life and death for them.

Le Chang turned around in place: "It's nothing."

Renbao also struggled to get down.

Su Shuying let go.

"I'm fine too." Renbao patted her belly with a grin and then reached for Leshang's hand.

The two burst into laughter.

The imperial physician rushed over upon hearing the commotion and knelt on the ground: "Princess."

"Let me take your pulse," Yue Chang said, extending her hand to him. She glanced at the pale-faced Su Tang and Su Chengxiao. "Let me see if the candied hawthorn I ate was poisoned!"

The imperial physician nodded respectfully, and after taking Yue Chang's pulse, said solemnly, "Princess's pulse is stable, and there are no signs of poisoning."

Le Chang immediately looked at Su Chengxiao, her tone sarcastic: "Lord Su, is it? You saw it?"

Su Chengxiao knelt on the ground with a thud, cold sweat beading on his forehead: "Princess, your subject...your subject..."

"Oh, you're stuttering." Yue Tang smiled and extended her hand.

The maid immediately handed over a bottle of medicine.

"Since he can't speak, let's poison him and make him mute," Yue Chang said, then pointed to Su Tang, "And that little one, he's really annoying, let's poison him and make him mute too."

Su Tang's mind was buzzing. She tugged at Su Chengxiao's sleeve: "Uncle."

She never expected that Le Chang would be so bold as to harm people without a word.

"Princess, spare me! I was out of my mind for a moment and believed her nonsense. I didn't see anything." Su Chengxiao was so scared he almost peed himself.

Le Chang was the emperor's most beloved daughter. She was spoiled rotten and became arrogant and domineering in the past few years. She would whip people and even kill people at a young age.

Renbao is a little Yama.

She's a little devil, quick, ruthless, and vicious.

The crowd erupted in uproar, their gazes toward him and Su Tang turning contemptuous.

A perfectly good chrysanthemum appreciation feast was ruined by two bad apples.

The maid pinched the chins of the two men, one big and one small, and poured the medicine down their throats.

Su Chengxiao and Su Tang: !

I'm terrified.

They were dragged down, thrown out of Qushang Pavilion like stray dogs.

The two were speechless for a moment. They wanted to return to the Marquis's residence, but there was no carriage available.

I cried out to heaven but received no response, and cried out to earth but received no help.

Su Chengxiao hated Su Tang to death.

A complete idiot who's good for nothing and good for making things worse!

Feeling relieved, Le Chang took Ren Bao's hand and returned to the main seat, the two sitting close together.

"Renbao, don't be afraid, your sister will protect you, and I mean it!" Yue Chang clapped her hands. "Someone, play the music! Let's dance!"

Everyone stared in disbelief, then silently closed their mouths.

The Ninth Princess truly lives up to her reputation.

Renbao leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister Leshang, are the unlucky guy and the heartless uncle really mute?"

"Let them be mute for three days, that'll scare them to death." Le Chang chuckled, her approach gentler than usual, afraid of frightening Ren Bao.

Su Chengxiao was, after all, a court official, and Su Tang was only three years old.

She had a backup plan.

Renbao hummed in agreement, picked up a large peach from the table, and started eating it.

The young ladies from prominent families began composing poems and composing verses with the young men, competing in their talents.

Renbao listened in a daze and felt a little sleepy.

Le Chang also found it very boring.

Her purpose in attending the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was to tell everyone in the capital.

She, Le Chang, is back!

Renbao is under her protection!

.

Su Tang and Su Chengxiao walked back to the Marquis's residence, their legs were about to break.

The old man in black robes frowned as he looked at the two men's disheveled appearance: "What happened?"

The two gestured for a long time.

The old man in black robes: "Have you lost your voice?"

The two nodded.

The old man in the black robe: "Useless."

He prepared medicine for the two of them to take, but it had no effect.

After Su Chengxiao wrote down the whole story, the old man in black robes looked at Su Tang with a questioning and disappointed expression.

Su Tang seems to lose her intelligence every time she faces Ren Bao.

Su Tang blinked, looking pitiful: "Master."

"Keep quiet." The old man in black robes sneered. He glanced outside casually, his expression changing slightly. "The celestial phenomena are unusual; a dragon seed has been born."

That's not right.

Qin Zhenzhen won't give birth that soon.

Could it be one of the empresses in the palace?
