All Chapters of Phoenix Reborn: the Prime Minister's Scheming Daughter: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

As the prime minister who was deeply trusted by the emperor and was good at maintaining relationship, Shen Dong maintained a balanced relationship with several princes in the court, neither too close nor too alienated. Therefore, when Shen Linghan held a banquet, many officials and young ladies came willingly. After all, the first daughter of the Shen family was so talented and beautiful that she was well-known in the capital city. There was no harm in making friends with her.Today's party was different from those of the past. Shen Ninghua, the real first daughter of the Shen family, was back. Although people did not talk about it in public, they were all secretly expecting a drama. They wondered how Shen Linghan, the second young lady, would get along with her.Because of the hot weather, the banquet was held in the pavilion beside the garden. Shen Ninghua came with Qing Que and other maids. From a distance, she could see the exquisite pavilion was surrou

In the pavilion, several people were enjoying painting, whisper and laughter coming out from time to time. Shen Ninghua was sitting in a position that was neither too far away nor too close, drinking tea alone. Her expression showed that she was not embarrassed by the cold reception. But rather she looked calm and tranquil.Chu Junyi glanced at her and his face looked a bit more thoughtful.After two hours, Zhao Yunxiang sent a maid to report that the meal was ready.Shen Dong went up and said, "Now it's lunchtime. How about Your Highness and master Chu have lunch here?""I've long heard about the delicacy of your family dishes. Today, I finally have the chance to taste some of them. How can I say no? Your Highness, shall we have a taste?" Chu Junyi asked, but in an affirmative tone.Baili Jinze looked as usual, as if he didn't mind Chu Junyi's lack of respect for him. "Then I will thank master Shen's hospitality."

Chu Junyi perceived Shen Ninghua's sight. He curled his lips at her when nobody was looking and tapped the folding fan in his palm.Shen Ninghua held back her sight. Instead of wondering why Chu Junyi would suddenly help her, she thought quickly trying to figure out the first lady's plan.This batch of wine was specially brewed by her as gifts, and nothing was added to it.But just when the first lady and Shen Linghan took out the wine, it suddenly became poisonous. And a maid's death happened to be the evidence. Apart from that maid, no one was poisoned. How calculating this step-by-step plan was! Besides, Shen Linghan had said those words to make time for the first lady to expose the poisoned wine.Murdering the emperor's son was a capital crime. Even he had doubts in his heart, Shen Dong would follow his personality to make her the scapegoat and take all the blame. After all, she had been away from home for more than half a year

Fanning himself, Chu Junyi walked out of the yard along with the others. He could not help laughing in his heart. Today's drama was really wonderful. He wondered if there would be anything more wonderful. Before he finished thinking over an idea, he heard a scream, followed by a plop."Miss!"Shen Linghan, who was walking by the pond, slipped and fell into it.Madam Zhao was shocked and suddenly realized that the person in the pond was her dear daughter. She hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, quickly go down into the pond to save her!" After those words, she abruptly looked with her sword-like eyes at Shen Ninghua, as if she wanted to bite a piece of flesh off Shen Ninghua.Shen Dong was also shocked. He raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Ninghua, who also looked surprised. He frowned and looked around at the guards. Surely, he couldn't let these guards jump into the pond to get Shen Linghan out. Otherwise, her reputation would be ruine

After Chu Junyi made the request, doctor Chen immediately agreed. He took out silver needles from the medicine box carried by the servant behind him and stuck them in Nurse Zhou’s several acupoints.In no time, Nurse Zhou opened her eyes all of a sudden.Madam Zhao's heart shivered and her mind raced rapidly. She could never, ever let Nurse Zhou tell the truth! She coldly glanced at Liang Yu, who was standing beside her dumbfounded. Cursing "Useless dolt!" in her heart, she had no choice but to say something as a hint to Liang Yu. "Thank God. Liang Yu, what are you in a daze? Didn’t you see your mother has woken up? Have a good look at her and see if she’s well."Liang Yu saw the killing intent in Madam Zhao’s eyes and suddenly realized what to do next. He climbed forward and howled loudly. "Mother, you have finally woken up. Who is so vicious to throw you into the pond? She definitely wanted to kill you. Don't worry. The master and madam will
