Chapter 129 Fainting
Having a low status is not scary. The scariest thing is that the whole family is not a good person.
An Qingqian thought about it and glanced at the Prime Minister inadvertently.
But he looked indifferent, as if he didn't realize what the queen meant, and continued to sit there calmly.
"Your Majesty, not yet." The Prime Minister's wife still spoke respectfully.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lan Mingyue walking to the center of the hall.
"Your servant Lan Mingyue greets His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress." Lan Mingyue knelt down.
When the queen saw Lan Mingyue, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Lan Mingyue's face looked a little bad.
"Get up." The queen said gently.
She stared at Lan Mingyue, feeling a little regretful. It was a pity for such a bright and beautiful woman.
However, before she could say anything, the emperor told her something.
But the moment Lan Mingyue stood up, her body suddenly became unstable. The next moment, she fainted in the middle of the hall with a "bang".
The queen held back the words that were about to come out and looked at Lan Mingyue in shock.
The others also looked surprised and confused.
The Prime Minister and his wife were startled and stood up from their seats in a hurry.
"Mingyue! Mingyue?" The two men helped Lan Mingyue up.
Lan Mingyue's eyes were closed tightly, her whole body was limp, and she was completely unconscious.
When the emperor saw this scene, he frowned and felt a little strange.
How could Lan Mingyue faint at such a coincidence, and just right before the Queen spoke, she fell to the ground.
The emperor gave Eunuch Sheng a look, and Eunuch Sheng immediately arranged for someone to invite the imperial physician.
Lan Mingyue was also carried to the side hall by her brother Lan Xiuting.
Because of Lan Mingyue's fainting, the atmosphere in Linhua Palace suddenly became weird.
Those who could sit here were not fools, and they all understood the meaning of the Queen's words, that she was preparing to arrange a marriage for Lan Mingyue.
But who knew that at this moment, Lan Mingyue actually fainted.
Seeing that both the Emperor and the Empress looked a little strange, everyone speculated whether Lan Mingyue had fainted on purpose in order to avoid the Empress's order for marriage.
The emperor also had this suspicion, so the imperial physician arranged by Eunuch Sheng was one of the emperor's confidants.
The imperial physician took Lan Mingyue's pulse, confirmed the result in his mind, and asked someone to pass a message to Eunuch Sheng.
Eunuch Sheng immediately reported the results of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Gao just said that Lan Mingyue was poisoned, which is why she fainted at this time."
Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned even more tightly. Poisoned?
He nodded slightly to show that he understood.
But I felt strange in my heart, how could Lan Mingyue be poisoned?
Doctor Gao is his man and would never be bribed by anyone. That means Lan Mingyue was really poisoned and not pretending to faint.
But who is so bold as to poison Lan Mingyue?
Because of Lan Mingyue's poisoning, the marriage arrangement had to be dropped.
After the palace banquet, An Qingqian followed An Zhenyuan back in a carriage.
Along the way, An Qingqian was thinking about what happened today.
An Zhenyuan saw his daughter thinking hard and couldn't help but ask.
"Qianqian, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing An Zhenyuan's voice, An Qingqian looked up, hesitated for a moment, and then expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Dad, today in the Linhua Palace, the Emperor and the Empress clearly wanted to arrange a marriage for Lan Mingyue. Based on what Dad knows about the Emperor, who will the Emperor choose for Lan Mingyue to marry?"
What An Qingqian is most curious about is this question. The emperor chose Xue Wanxian, the Marquis of Lin'an, who only has a nominal title, for her. Who will the emperor choose for Lan Mingyue?
"What do you think?" An Zhenyuan did not answer An Qingqian's question immediately, but asked back.
"According to my daughter's opinion and my understanding of the emperor, the person chosen for Lan Mingyue's marriage this time will probably not hold a very high position. It is more likely that he is just a nominal position like Xue Wanxian."
An Qingqian expressed her guess, but she was not familiar with the official positions in the court, so she could not guess who specifically met the requirements.
"Well, my daughter, An Zhenyuan, is indeed smart." An Zhenyuan smiled heartily when he heard this.
"I think the same as you do. In order to consolidate his position, the emperor will never allow Lan Mingyue to marry his prince. Therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, the emperor will definitely choose someone with a similar situation to Xue Wanxian to settle Lan Mingyue and put an end to the prince's plan."
"Dad, do you think there are people in the court who meet these conditions?" An Qingqian asked curiously.
"Qianqian, why are you suddenly so concerned about Lan Mingyue's affairs? I remember that Lan Mingyue invited you to have tea at Linxian Teahouse a few days ago. In the past, you two always liked to compete secretly, and neither of you would give in to the other. How come your relationship has become so good now?"
An Zhenyuan stroked his beard and spoke thoughtfully.
"Dad, to be honest, my relationship with Lan Mingyue has indeed improved a lot in the past six months. It's probably because we have both grown up and are no longer the two ignorant little girls we used to be. Although she is a little arrogant, she is not a bad person.
When Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi just came back, she even humiliated Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi in the street. "
Thinking of what happened before, An Qingqian's expression softened.
"So there is such a thing." An Zhenyuan nodded slightly.
"Since you have a good relationship with Lan Mingyue, then I will tell you my idea. According to the emperor's idea, there are two people in the court who meet the requirements."
An Zhenyuan paused and continued speaking.
"One is Li Yang, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the other is Su Feng, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple.
Li Yang was the same as Xue Wanxian, only having the title of Marquis Dingyuan, but not holding any official position in the court. He was fond of wine and women, had a lot of wives and concubines in his house, and was incompetent and foolishly kind.
Su Feng is an official in the court and is an upright person, which is not bad. It seems that he is a good place to go. However, his family is complicated. His parents are insidious and cunning people, and he has many concubines. If he marries into his family, there will be no peace unless he is dealt with by thundering means.
However, Su Feng's parents are bad people. Even if Su Feng's wife wants to do something, she will be suppressed by filial piety. Even if she has a powerful background, she will not be able to control the situation in the mansion."
After hearing about the situations of these two people, An Qingqian fell silent and felt surprised in her heart. How could her father know so much about the situations of these two people?
As if he knew what An Qingqian was thinking, An Zhenyuan explained, "When you came of age, Daddy also carefully studied the situations of all the men of marriageable age in the court. Naturally, he knows more about these things than others."
