Chapter 137 Reap the consequences
"Grandpa, how could she be your granddaughter? Look carefully, she is a waste in the general's mansion." Le Xin shouted loudly in a state of collapse.
"Xin'er, she is indeed your grandfather's granddaughter, and her father is my younger brother. Don't say such things again in the future." King Bei looked at Le Xin with serious eyes.
Le Xin suddenly felt dizzy. Why did she feel like her world was collapsing? Everything she once owned was taken away by Yan Li?
No!
Absolutely not!
I am the princess of the Northern Prince’s Mansion, the only princess!
"I will not admit that she is from the Northern Palace." Le Xin's eyes were full of coldness.
"You don't need to acknowledge me. I acknowledge you as my granddaughter." The old King of the North said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Le Xin's eyes immediately turned red with grievance.
From childhood to adulthood, my grandfather never hugged me so lovingly, never spoke to me so gently, and never protected me so much.
Why did he give all these to Yan Li now?
Gongsun Hong, who was not far away, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw this.
He had always suspected that Yan Li was not Gongsun Yue's biological daughter, but later confirmed that Yan Li was indeed not his granddaughter.
But he never thought that Yan Li was actually the granddaughter of the old King of the North.
This status is much more noble than that of the lady in the general's mansion.
Le Xin knew that it was useless to say anything now. Yan Li had the recognition and protection of the old King of the North, and she could not defeat him.
Gongsun Hong's gaze swept across Gongsun Zijun, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.
But he found that since Gongsun Zijun entered the banquet, he had not even glanced at him.
Gongsun Hong thought that Gongsun Zijun was angry because he had expelled him from the Gongsun family.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Gongsun Zijun knew everything he had done.
At this time, Gongsun Zijun was completely disappointed in him!
"Today is the welcoming banquet for the Emperor Emeritus and the Old Northern King. Everyone should be more casual and don't be too restrained." The emperor said.
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"Empress Dowager, I want to eat that." Yan Li found that the plate of pastries on the emperor's table was quite delicious, so she spoke up.
"Li'er, if you want to eat, here you go. Both plates are for you." Upon hearing this, the retired emperor hurriedly brought the snacks in front of him and the emperor to Yan Li, looking at her with a flattering face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Li nodded with a smile.
"Li'er, I've been so good to you, can you call me Grandpa Emperor?" the Emperor Emeritus coaxed.
"No." Yan Li shook her head.
"Still not working?" The emperor was a little discouraged.
"No." Seeing the depressed look of the retired emperor, a smile flashed across Yan Li's eyes.
"Okay, then I'll keep working on it." The emperor returned to his seat in frustration.
Everyone at the banquet was shocked when they saw this scene.
Isn't the Emperor too fond of Yan Li?
However, since Yan Li is the granddaughter of the old King of the North, it is understandable that the emperor dotes on her so much.
After all, everyone knows that the Emperor Retired and the Old Northern King have been together for all these years, and they are like brothers, even though they are not blood brothers.
But then I thought again, Le Xin is also the granddaughter of the old King of the North, and I have never seen the emperor dote on her so much.
Yan Li calmly ate the snacks brought to her by the emperor, facing strange looks from all around.
"Brother, why are they looking at me like that? Do they want to have some snacks too? But there are only two plates of snacks and not enough to share. What should we do?" Yan Li looked at the War King and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately withdrew their gazes.
What a joke! Not to mention that the two plates of snacks were not enough to share, even if there were enough, they wouldn't dare to eat them. Those were snacks reserved for the emperor.
Only Yan Li dared to eat those two plates of snacks so calmly.
"Since there isn't enough to share, Li'er can just eat it by herself." The War King said with a smile.
A hint of smile flashed across Yan Li's eyes when she heard that.
Le Xin felt even more irritated when she saw how much the King of Zhan doted on Yan Li.
At this moment, Le Xin looked at Yan Li as a thorn in her side and was dissatisfied with everything about her.
She stood up and walked in front of the War King with a glass of wine in hand.
"Prince Zhan, I'm Le Xin from the Northern Palace. I've admired you for a long time. This glass of wine is for you." Le Xin looked at Prince Zhan.
The War King didn't even bother to give her a glance.
Le Xin looked at Yan Li beside King Zhan, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she lost hold of the wine glass in her hand, and poured the wine directly at Yan Li.
Upon seeing this, King Zhan picked up Yan Li and flicked his sleeves, splashing the entire glass of wine onto Le Xin's face.
"Ah..." Le Xin, who was splashed with wine, covered her face and rolled on the ground.
"Li'er, are you okay? Were you sprayed?" Seeing Le Xin's miserable condition, King Xiao looked at Yan Li with nervous eyes.
"Lier, are you okay?" Gongsun Zijun also stood up from his seat.
"Li'er, are you not scared?" The old King of the North was obviously also frightened.
However, he was worried that this incident would leave a psychological trauma on Yan Li, who was only five years old.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to come and check on Li'er." The emperor shouted at the eunuch who was standing stupidly beside him.
"Baby Li, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother will protect you." The Queen Mother also came to Yan Li and checked her up and down.
emperor:……
What's wrong with these people? Didn't they see Le Xin covering her face and screaming on the ground?
Not to mention that the little devil Yan Li would never let herself get hurt, even if she was protected by King Zhan, she wouldn't be able to get hurt.
I really don't know what these people are so nervous about?
Also, maybe the emperor was wrong? The one who needs the imperial physician should be Le Xin instead of Yan Li.
The emperor suddenly felt like he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.
Tired!
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. She's the one who's in trouble." Yan Li pointed at Le Xin who was rolling on the ground with her face covered.
"Why should I care about such a vicious person?" Old King Bei looked at Le Xin lying on the ground with cold eyes.
"Grandpa, Dad, save me, save me." Le Xin shouted for help.
"What kind of poison did you put in the wine?" asked Old King Bei in a cold voice.
From this point of view, it was obvious that Le Xin poisoned the wine to harm Yan Li, but King Zhan waved his sleeves and she reaped the consequences.
"I didn't poison her. It was Yan Li who poisoned me." Le Xin still argued.
"No repentance." The old Northern King's eyes were full of disappointment.
"Xin'er, if you don't tell me what the poison is, no one can save you." King Bei obviously didn't expect that the daughter he raised would be so vicious.
She actually poisoned a five-year-old child, who was nominally her sister.
"I just put some medicine in the wine that would cause redness, swelling and ulceration on the face. I don't know why it's so serious." Le Xin was in so much pain that she spoke.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
She gave a girl medicine for her red, swollen and ulcerated face, and even said it was just that!
