Chapter 44: The Feast
"Xiaomo, it's okay!" Duanmu Li came here again, with a worried look on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What can I do?" Xia Zimo smiled disdainfully, and then asked, "Don't accompany your father and mother?" ”
"I'm not going to accompany you." Duanmu Li sat down: "It's boring over there, it's better to stay here." ”
This has two meanings: first, you need me and him more here, and I and he have to stay here; Two, it's really annoying over there, but it's quieter here. Over there, everyone wants to be close to me, and I'm annoyed; Here, with Zhong Lixue here, he can be quiet for a while while blocking many people invisibly.
Xia Zimo didn't say anything, and continued to be busy with what he had just done - eating and drinking. Although there are other reasons, he is also really worried about her, so why bother too much about the proportion of "worry".
Xu Tingfeng and Xu Tingyue also came here immediately after.
"Xiaomo, are you all right?" Xu Tianfeng is wearing a dark green robe today, with a few peonies embroidered on it, which can be regarded as festive.
Xu Tianyue wore a pink Luo skirt, which further accentuated her beautiful appearance and sweet temperament.
"Tilting the moon, what a lady today! It's really like a lady. Xia Zimo laughed.
"People are meant to be!" Xu Tianyue did not show weakness.
Goosebumps oh fell to the ground!
"Stop!" Xia Zimo raised her hand to surrender, it's too much, I didn't expect her to have this potential.
"You've got so much to eat!" Xu Tianyue sat down boldly, grabbed a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Xiaomo, let me tell you, my father didn't let me eat anything just now!" I knew from the morning that I hadn't touched anything yet. ”
Xia Zimo sighed lightly: "This is the moon I am familiar with!" Sit in the wind, take whatever you want, nothing is poisonous here, eat with confidence. I'll send some to your parents later, and it's not good to just make them hungry. ”
Xia Zimo's last sentence was completely said in the face of the general's wife, who made the family a big beauty, if this is over, even if they are not poisoned, it is estimated that they will be starved to death, they can't be so beautiful in the world!
"Good!" Xu Tianfeng was a little moved.
They had a great time once again having a food party.
Suddenly, Xia Zimo was startled and asked a few people beside him, "Have you smelled a fragrance in the air?" ”
"Nope!" Several people said no.
"Maybe it's the smell of flowers from somewhere!" Xia Zimo comforted herself and thought: This fragrance is non-toxic, I really treat the grass and trees as soldiers.
The emperor and the concubine had been sitting on a high place, enjoying the show, as if they were so engrossed that they had forgotten to eat - the food around them did not move.
The Queen Mother suddenly spoke, recalling their attention.
"Concubine Shu, today is the birthday of the mourning family, shouldn't you give a cup to the mourning family?" The Queen Mother said.
The emperor was angry, and the hand holding Concubine Shu had revealed green tendons, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Queen Mother, Jing'er has been not feeling well for the past few days, and the imperial doctor has instructed her to avoid alcohol." ”
"Your Majesty, it's okay, it's right for your daughter-in-law to toast with your mother-in-law." Concubine Shu broke the emperor's hand and held her tightly, and raised the wine glass.
The emperor snatched the wine glass and said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, I have drunk it." The emperor raised his head and drank.
"Humph!" The queen was dissatisfied, but did not have a seizure, and thought: This son is really becoming more and more disobedient, and he loves this woman so much. The Queen Mother didn't look around, ignored them, and turned her attention to the show.
The queen on the side gritted her teeth. What is so good about that woman that she protects her so much that she is reluctant to let her drink even a glass of wine. You only have that cheap woman in your heart, and I am obviously your wife.
Here again, there is peace.
After a while, the emperor was in a cold sweat and pale.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Shu was uneasy and asked in a panic.
"It's okay, Jing'er, don't make a noise." The emperor tried to make himself look normal.
"That wine was poisonous?" Concubine Shu exclaimed, since here, they have only touched the glass of wine: "Could it be the Queen Mother......" The Queen Mother wanted to force her to drink it just now, but let him snatch it.
"It's okay, I'm going to be fine." The emperor is extremely happy now, fortunately he took the glass of wine just now, otherwise...... Jing'er ...... I can't imagine!
The queen noticed the commotion here and remembered what she heard last night, could it be that someone poisoned the emperor? She was anxious and then a burst of ecstasy, jealousy dominated her will: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to Shufei, God help me.
The scene where the emperor blocked the wine for Concubine Shu just now made the queen's jealousy burn, and she lost the last bit of reason. She rushed forward, pushed Concubine Shu away, and shouted: "Concubine Shu, you dare to poison the emperor!" ”
Concubine Shu was pushed far away, Duanmu Li arrived, and carefully helped her up, his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at the queen. Concubine Shu stood up with difficulty and argued, "I didn't! ”
"You have been staying by the emperor's side, why haven't you been poisoned, who else can you be?" The queen asked.
The emperor was also confused by this angry aura, and the poison that he had finally suppressed quickly attacked. He shouted: "Jing'er, Jing'er......"
But because his face was too painful and a little distorted, it should have been an affectionate call, and it was understood by everyone as an accusation against the murderer.
Concubine Shu couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River now.
"The emperor himself said, how can there be a fake, come and put Concubine Shu in prison." The queen's righteous words are quite the momentum of the mother of a country.
The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted completely.
"Come on, come quickly, announce the Imperial Doctor." The queen cried out loudly in grief, and it was not until the emperor had fainted that she remembered to save people, whether it was intentional or hindsight, only she herself understood.
Duanmu Li protected Concubine Shu and said, "With me here, who dares to touch her." The usual gentleness is gone, and there is a strong aura around him.
The guards did not dare to get close. This is a god of evil, usually pretending to be an angel, but it still can't change his demonic nature.
The queen was angry and ordered: "Pull the king of Jin away." "This time, she must kill Concubine Shu, her biggest umbrella, the emperor, is now unable to protect herself, and no one can protect her.
Although King Jin is the emperor's child and has a noble status, she doesn't dare to do anything to him in public, but it is easy for her to stop him. She is a queen, and every prince must respect her as his mother. She wanted to kill Concubine Shu now, and it couldn't be easier.
The prime minister arrived with a large number of people, and the queen mother found her support and reprimanded the queen loudly, saying: "The emperor's life and death are uncertain, and you are still making trouble here." The emperor's poisoning was handed over to the prime minister for investigation and punishment, and today's matter cannot be revealed to the outside world, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! From now on, the prime minister will supervise the country and manage everything. ”
Everyone is talking about it, how can this be supervised by the prime minister, shouldn't the prince be in charge of the country?
"Quiet! Who has grievances to stand up! The Queen Mother frowned and shouted. was able to survive in the palace and become the queen, and now she is sitting safely in the position of the queen mother, her means can be imagined. Ruthless!
All silences. But one person failed to do what the Queen Mother wanted.
Duanmu Li said: "Prime Minister Jian Guo, do you want to let Xuanyuan Kingdom change hands!" ”
One word stirred up a thousand waves. The crowd was talking again.
"My son is the emperor, how can you say that." The Queen Mother was sad and indignant, aggrieved, wiped her tears, won sympathy, and everyone fell to the side of the Queen Mother.
"Father is not your son at all." Duanmu Li said.
"Nonsense, come on, take King Jin down, he was also drugged and lost his mind, quickly take him down for healing." The Queen Mother was a little flustered.
"You want to kill me! I'm going to tell you everything, and my father told me about it. Back then, you were Concubine Hui, and you were pregnant at the same time as Song Zhaoyi, but on the night of delivery, your child died in childbirth, but Song Zhaoyi's child survived, you were afraid of falling out of favor, so you ordered someone to drop the child, took Song Zhaoyi's child and pretended to be your own, and that child was the father. As his father grew older, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more similar to Song Zhaoyi, and you were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you set a fire to burn Song Zhaoyi alive, and put everyone who knew about it to death for various reasons. Over the years, you have never treated your father sincerely, you have been looking for an opportunity to kill him, do you think he doesn't know? Duanmu Li said a secret.
Everyone was shocked, and most of them believed Duanmu Li's words, and it was not surprising that this kind of thing happened in the palace.
"It's so vicious, take him down for treatment." The Queen Mother called out loudly.
Another group of men arrived and blocked the entire Imperial Garden.
Duanmu Li breathed a sigh of relief: they have finally arrived! These are the soldiers who rushed back from the border pass overnight, and they are the iron cavalry of the Xu family, all of whom are good at fighting one against one hundred!
One of them came to Duanmu Li and bowed: "See King Jin"
"You've worked hard."
"The palace has been controlled by us, please rest assured." The man said.
"Are you going to rebel?" The Queen Mother accused.
"It's you who rebelled, not me, and you think that if you collude with the East Japan Kingdom, no one will know? What do you see this is? Duanmu Li took out a stack of letters she exchanged with Dongri and sprinkled them to everyone, with a mocking face: "I can't imagine that I stopped so much." ”
Some people looked through it and exclaimed: "It's really the Queen Mother's handwritten letter, with the Queen Mother's private seal on it." ”
"This one too!"
"I have this one too!"
“……”
"Slander." The Queen Mother made her last struggle.
"My father has known about this for a long time, and he specially arranged it for me. Do you want to see the Witnesses? "Duanmu Li not only has physical evidence, he also has human evidence." A month ago, you were assassinated, too, faked! ”
"Aren't they dead?" The Queen Mother lost her words.
"The people who were killed were all death row inmates pretending, how could such an important person be locked up in a prison!" There are only two outcomes for those who are imprisoned in the prison: they are either killed in the cell or they are rescued from the cell. It's never a "safe" place.
"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Duanmu Li said.
"I am the queen mother, the queen mother of this Xuanyuan country, you dare to slander me and try to rebel, even the prince can't be spared, come here, take it for me." The Queen Mother still refused to admit it.
The prime minister's men and horses fought with Duanmuli's men and horses, and there were countless casualties, and many court officials and their families were affected. Many corrupt officials have won a good name -- sacrificing their lives for the country.
The corpses are all over the field, the blood is flowing like a river, and the flowers in the royal garden are blooming more and more beautifully!
It's a feast! Enchanting, beautiful!
