Chapter 295: Female Dominance World 10
The lights in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were on, and many officials and children of noble families were already sitting in their seats, waiting for Xie Lanze to arrive.
As Xie Lanze sat in the main seat, everyone present stood up and saluted.
Xie Lanze glanced at Fang Yanzhou below and said calmly, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Lanze looked at them speaking softly and not daring to speak loudly, and ordered people to pour wine for them, except Fang Yanzhou of course.
"My dear ministers, please feel free to do so. There is no need to be so reserved."
"Eunuch Jiang," Shen Jue called out to Eunuch Jiang who was standing beside him, and looked at the grapes and lychees in front of him: "Take this down to Lord Fang."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Jiang brought the fruit plate down and placed it in front of Fang Yanzhou.
Fang Yanzhou said calmly, "Thank you, eunuch. Please thank His Majesty for me."
After Eunuch Jiang returned, Xie Lanze listened to his report and laughed, "You said thank you on the surface, but you probably cursed me in your heart."
After all, her action should make many people more certain of the rumor.
It is a fact that Her Majesty the Queen loves the Prime Minister, and she is just confirming this fact.
She raised her eyes to glance at Duan Chengyuan, who was sitting alone in the corner, and then looked away unnoticeably.
Of course, she was also asserting her sovereignty and letting certain people know that some people should not be thought of.
His Majesty's blatant preference for the Prime Minister made the young gentlemen present feel a chill in their hearts.
It turns out that the rumors were true. His Majesty really had ill intentions towards the Prime Minister. No wonder His Majesty has no one in his harem until now.
Since His Majesty likes women, it seems that their chances are slim...
Duan Chengyuan took everything in. He looked at the fruit plate on Fang Yanzhou's desk and felt furious, but he didn't know where to vent his anger.
He tightened his grip on the glass and then drank the wine in the glass.
Xie Lanze... humph...
Before they knew it, the banquet was already halfway through. Fang Yanzhou seemed to be feeling unwell. He coughed lightly, rubbed his brows, then stood up slowly and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony alone.
When Xie Lanze and Duan Chengyuan looked towards him again, the man had already disappeared.
Xie Lanze turned his head to look at Eunuch Jiang and asked in a low voice: "Where is the person?"
Eunuch Jiang's eyebrows jumped, and he knew who she was asking as soon as he heard it. She glanced towards Fang Yanzhou's position, and sure enough, he was gone.
She said with great fear: "This...I don't know either."
How could she know where the Prime Minister had gone? It was impossible for her to keep an eye on the Prime Minister all the time.
Xie Lanze didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably uneasy.
He said in a cold and hard voice: "Send someone to take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Duan Chengyuan pondered for a while in his seat, then stood up and left.
He just walked out and stood by the pond for a while, then he saw a man running hurriedly towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Duan Chengyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong and followed him.
Sure enough, the palace servant ran to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, something has happened, something terrible has happened."
Xie Lanze's heart skipped a beat and he stood up: "What happened?"
The palace servant took a breath and said stutteringly: "Someone discovered... that the Prime Minister was drugged..."
Duan Chengyuan, who was not far away, heard the words, his pupils shrank, and the air pressure on his body dropped by one degree.
Drugged? Sister Yanzhou's health was not good to begin with. If something unexpected happened...
Before the palace maid finished speaking, Xie Lanze ran down anxiously and asked nervously, "Where is she? Is she okay?"
The palace servant whispered, "The Prime Minister is fine. The one who is in trouble is... the young master of the Mo family. He has been crying and asking the Prime Minister to take responsibility for him..."
Xie Lanze was confused: "What do you mean by that——"
He was halfway through his words when he seemed to understand something and his voice stopped for a moment.
She gritted her teeth and spoke word by word, "What drug was given to Lord Fang?"
Palace maid: "Aphrodisiac."
When the people around heard this, they instantly understood the whole story and their eyes couldn't help but sparkle.
It seems that today will not be peaceful after all.
Xie Lanze's voice turned cold: "Take me there."
"Yes."
After Xie Lanze left, Duan Chengyuan followed her with a sullen face. Some brave ones also followed, while others continued to stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When Xie Lanze saw Fang Yanzhou again, Fang Yanzhou was sitting listlessly on the chair, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. His slightly wet hair stuck to his thin cheeks, making him look even weaker.
Sitting next to her was a man with tear marks on his face.
When Mo Yunhui saw Xie Lanze, he quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't even married yet, and my innocence is gone. You have to make the decision for me."
Before Xie Lanze could say anything, Fang Yanzhou knelt down first.
His voice was hoarse: "Your Majesty, this matter is all my fault. Please decree that we get married."
Xie Lanze lowered his eyes and glanced at the two of them without any concealment. When he saw their slightly messy clothes, he silently clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.
She didn't let Fang Yanzhou get up, but turned her head to look at Mo Yunhui.
"Why is Mr. Mo with Lord Fang? Lord Fang has a weak body. Even if she was poisoned, it probably won't have any effect on Mr. Mo, right? Or is there some unspeakable secret here?"
Mo Yunhui's body trembled slightly, and he cried very sadly: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am just a weak man. How could I... How could I resist..."
Just as Fang Yanzhou said, it was hard to let go.
"This matter is all my fault. Your Majesty, there is no need to make things difficult for him. I hereby beg Your Majesty to grant us a marriage." Fang Yanzhou's emotions were so unstable that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Seeing this, Xie Lanze wanted to help him up, but he heard him stubbornly say again: "Your Majesty, please grant us a marriage."
