Chapter 99: Hongmen Banquet (9)

I saw her caressing the back of Ah Jiu's delicate hand and saying earnestly: "The Queen is the Queen. Even if she makes a huge mistake, I can't deal with it without authorization. Just putting her under house arrest is already very harsh.

Do you understand that only the emperor has the final say on how to deal with her?"

Ah Jiu pursed her lips, and was about to remind the Queen Mother that the Queen was not simple, because she could actually use the Five Stone Interruption Gu.

However, just as she was about to speak, a strange smell made her heart tremble. She immediately stopped talking and nodded obediently: "The Queen Mother is so kind-hearted, Jiuer feels inferior to her!"

"Haha, you girl, you are making fun of me again!" Empress Dowager Zhao narrowed her eyes with a smile.

At this moment, Ya Geer, who had just gone down, reappeared in Qingfeng Hall carrying three cups of tea.

However, when she glanced around, she found that the Queen was missing. A trace of doubt flashed across her face: "Why didn't the Queen leave before I brought out the Jade Rong Tea? But what's the emergency?"

Queen Mother Zhao gave Ah Jiu a wink, smiled and said to Brother Ya: "It's not that you are too slow, the queen can't wait any longer."

Brother Ya was stunned and immediately said angrily: "My ancestors are entertaining me again. I really don't know what to say."

"Haha, then I will reward you with a cup of Jade Tea, and you can drink it on behalf of the Queen!"

After hearing this, Brother Ya'er's face immediately flashed with joy, and he said unceremoniously: "Then slaves are more respectful than obeying orders!"

Queen Mother Zhao smiled again, then waved her hand to ask Ah Jiu to sit back in her seat, while Brother Ya personally served Ah Jiu tea.

As the hot tea was placed on the table in front of Ah Jiu, a faint fragrance immediately hit his face. It really made people greedy, and they couldn't help but want to taste it immediately.

At this time, the Queen Mother also picked up the tea cup, raised it to Ah Jiu and said, "You are blessed. The Yurong tea brewed by Brother Ya is rare in the world. If you can drink a cup of it in this life, you will die without regrets!"

Hearing what the Empress Dowager Zhao said, Ya Geer covered her mouth and smiled again: "The Empress Dowager can't speak at all. If you say that, how can the imperial concubine drink it down?"

At this time, Ah Jiu's tea was brought to her lips. She gently smelled the irresistible aroma, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly and put it back on the table.

Then she said with a smile: "Auntie is right. I don't dare to drink this tea. I really let down my auntie's kindness!"

With that said, she stood up from behind the desk and was about to leave!

Seeing that she actually wanted to leave, Queen Mother Zhao's expression changed for the first time tonight.

And Ya Geer, who was standing next to her, looked at Ah Jiu's back and said lightly: "My dear concubine, isn't the tea made by this slave good to you?"

Ah Jiu turned around and looked at her with a smile: "It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's that it tastes so good. It reminds me of something I once saw in a book."

"What is it?"

"Ghostweed." Ah Jiu smiled again, and then said unhurriedly, "The tea made from this grass is sweet and very pleasant, but it is also highly poisonous.

However, the poison will not attack immediately. It will definitely cause abdominal pain for three days and three nights. Even if a doctor is called, he will only think it is a sudden intestinal infection. There is no cure at all, and he can only watch the poisoning.

It hurts the person to death."
