On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Chapter 435 Dance

Ding Ruoqiu's face was grim as she said, "I will avenge Ruo Lian at the palace banquet tomorrow night. I will let Princess Xichang know that we Ding sisters are not to be trifled with."

-

The next day, there was a dinner at the palace.

The moonlight was as bright as a silver thread, and the night was tinged with an unreal splendor by the lights within the palace walls and the sounds of stringed instruments that could be heard everywhere.

The palace was decorated with lights and palace servants were walking back and forth.

Sometimes lanterns were hung, sometimes carpets were laid, which showed how much importance Emperor Pei Lingsong attached to this banquet.

Ding Ruoqiu was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with gold thread, her skirt trailing gently on the ground, and her hair was woven in an extremely complicated bun. She was wearing heavy makeup, her chin slightly raised, and her eyes and posture were even more solemn than that of the current queen.

The Imperial Observatory had not yet confirmed her identity as the Phoenix Girl, but Ding Ruoqiu had already introduced herself to everyone as the Phoenix Girl at the banquet.

"Yes, I am Ding Ruoqiu. Yes, I was born with a unique fragrance." Before entering the palace today, she deliberately applied a lot of ointment on her body.

"I don't know why I was chosen by the Imperial Observatory to be a Phoenix Girl, but it is true that I can often predict what will happen in the future." She was very proud in front of the female relatives.

They would stretch out their fingers and pretend to take people's pulses or feel their bones, and then loudly tell everyone's private affairs in front of everyone.

Only when she saw a look of surprise on other people's faces would she withdraw her hand contentedly.

She took great pains to find out all these things, with the purpose of making these royal ladies look at her with new eyes and worship her.

However, what she didn't know was that openly publicizing the private affairs of the women in such a grand occasion would not win her any goodwill.

On the contrary, when Ding Ruoqiu talked about some of the princesses' and princesses' private matters, they would become furious and almost fight with Ding Ruoqiu on the spot.

"She is so ignorant. I wonder where she got these rumors from."

"This damn treasure of the world, if I have the chance someday, I will definitely teach this worthless Phoenix girl a lesson."

Ding Ruoqiu selectively ignored those who disliked her. She focused almost all of her attention today on the royal princes.

The Pei family is extremely wealthy, and the men are not only handsome, but also have outstanding temperaments.

Ding Ruolian felt that her eyes were about to pop out of her head. She took lotus steps and deliberately moved among the princes. Even when she met the old emperor Pei Lingsong, she would bow gently in a self-righteous and artificial manner.

With his eyes lowered, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, wishing he could capture the hearts of everyone present.

Ding Ruoqiu was extremely satisfied with her performance today, but she didn't know that the royal princes and even Pei Lingsong only regarded her as a fortune teller and did not appreciate her at all.

Pei Mochen held Mu Wanyan with one hand, putting snacks into her bowl while narrowing his eyes, carefully observing Ding Ruoqiu's every move.

The more glorious she is now, the more miserable her death will be in a moment.

……

"Sister, Ruoqiu offers you a toast to express my gratitude for your help to Ruolian and me when we were young."

"We two sisters are where we are today, thanks to the care that Senior Sister has given us over the past few years."

She took out a wine flask with a hidden mechanism, pressed the red button, and poured a glass of poisoned wine for Mu Wanyan.

He pressed the green knob again and poured himself a non-toxic glass.

She had given Mu Wanyan a poison. If she took it, she would not survive the night.

Moreover, Ding Ruoqiu also put a lot of thought into the dosage of the poison. Once the poisoned wine is consumed, the person will not die immediately, but the poison will take effect late at night.

In this way, even if Mu Wanyan died at night, no one would be able to connect this incident to themselves.

Ding Ruoqiu's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness, and he personally brought the wine glass to Mu Wanyan.

"Senior sister, Ruoqiu salutes you."

Mu Wanyan gently picked up the cup of poisoned wine and sniffed it, then revealed a meaningful smile.

He stared at Ding Ruoqiu's face without blinking, and said sarcastically: "Toasting before the meal even starts? Ruoqiu, do you have any manners?"

Ding Ruoqiu smiled and said, "It's okay. I brought this wine with me. I'm really excited. Let me offer a toast to you, Senior Sister."

Mu Wanyan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and she said in a cold voice: "Ruoqiu, your mother's leg disease, your brother's wife's money, your sister's dowry, and your brother's school money... I was involved in almost all the major events."

"Do you still remember these things?"

Even if I had fed a dog back then, it wouldn't have harmed me like this.

Ding Ruoqiu's face paused, not because of shame, but because he didn't want Mu Wanyan to mention her miserable life experience in such an occasion.

But in order to achieve her goal, she pretended to be moved and said, "Senior sister's kindness, Ruqiu will never forget it for a moment."

“That’s why I’ll toast to you with my first glass of wine at the first turning point in my life.”

Mu Wanyan: "Do you really want me to drink? I've been feeling unwell these days and can't drink strong liquor." She wanted to see if Ding Ruoqiu had any conscience.

Who would have thought that although Ding Ruoqiu's eyes were evasive, his tone was extremely firm: "Ruoqiu begs Senior Sister to drink this glass of light wine. This wine is not strong and it has the aroma of fruit mixed in it."

"Besides, everyone is watching. If you don't drink, I... I will lose face." She wanted to use morality to blackmail others.

Pei Mochen frowned slightly and took the wine glass. "Yan Yan is not suitable for drinking. I will drink for her."

Mu Wanyan's heart skipped a beat, she curled her lips into a smile, but did not stop him.

But Ding Ruoqiu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly snatched the wine glass and put it back in front of Mu Wanyan.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not."

"This wine is a token of my love to my senior sister. It is of great significance. I hope you won't fight for it."

She spoke in a steady and measured tone, with careful choice of words, and even managed a smile to smooth things over, which chilled the heart of Mu Wanyan, who had taken care of her for many years.

She used to follow her master to learn how to make poisons and refine elixirs. Except for colorless and odorless drugs, she could smell most poisons.

Not only could she smell the poison, but I believe that Xiangqin, who had been with her since childhood, could also identify it.

"Okay, I'll drink it." Mu Wanyan smiled gently, picked up the wine glass, first covered her lips with her wide sleeves, then tilted her head back and slowly swallowed the wine.

"Hu——" Ding Ruoqiu let out a long breath. Mission accomplished. She finally avenged Ruolian tonight.

She thought to herself: Mu Wanyan will definitely die tonight.

……

At this time, Xiang Qin, who was standing behind Mu Wanyan, was so angry that her face turned blue.

"Master, this treasure will perform a dance at the banquet in a while, you must not let her go."

Mu Wanyan nodded and lowered her voice and said, "Not only that, I heard that she is going to confess her love to the Regent tonight."

Xiang Qin was so angry that she glared at Ding Ruoqiu, "Then we must not let her go."

Mu Wanyan knew what was going on. She picked up her wine glass and came to Ding Ruoqiu. "Junior sister, I heard that you will be performing a dance tonight. Can I know in advance what song it will be?"

Ding Ruoqiu raised his chin and said proudly: "Drunken Dream is Qiu'er's best dance."

With her slender waist and graceful figure, she believed that she would become famous in Dafeng Kingdom through this dance.

She wanted to become a woman that everyone wanted to marry, and in this way she would attract the attention of the Regent.

"Tsk——" Mu Wanyan frowned.

While calculating the duration of the song, he secretly took out laxatives from his sleeve.

Then he asked, “When will the performance be held?”

Ding Ruoqiu did not hide it from her. Now he looked at his senior sister as if she were a dying person. "When the regent comes, Ruoqiu will perform."

"To be honest, Senior Sister, I danced this dance specifically for the Regent. I like him."

She had a wicked smile and a swagger on her face.

My senior sister will pass away tonight, so I can tell her more and there is no need to worry about anything.

Mu Wanyan's face was expressionless, but one of her little hands moved quickly under her sleeve.

She had already calculated the dosage of the laxative.

There are certain requirements for when the diarrhea will occur, when the diarrhea will start, and how much stool must be discharged so that the person taking the medicine will realize that he is excreting stool.

The style of "Drunken Dream" is sad. Dancers must devote themselves wholeheartedly and immerse themselves in it with a kind of melancholy and disillusioned attitude.

Mu Wanyan pursed her lips. Ding Ruoqiu wanted her to die, so it wasn't too much for her to let Ding Ruoqiu scatter flowers while dancing, right?

And it would be best not to let Ding Ruoqiu find out in the early stages, and wait until she reaches the climax of the dance before letting out a loud explosion.

I don’t know if she can maintain her image as a cold and noble woman.
