The palace lights hang high, and the palace walls are full at night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The king of Chu sent the chamberlain beside him to pick up Xin Hui, this person was tight-mouthed and didn't talk much, Xin Hui asked a lot on the way, and he respectfully said that he didn't know.

As soon as the group arrived at the Manna Palace, the beauties of all parties had already sat down separately, and even the Empress Dowager, who was slightly unwell, was also on it.

The drums are up, the glass of wine is wet, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, the hall is smiling and smiling, and the guests are happy.

The white-faced man kneeling next to Jiang Ci and pouring wine described him as romantic, tilted his head slightly, and said something from time to time, which made him laugh

The two attendants are equally handsome. Jiang Ci's face in the middle is like an autumn moon, he is wearing a moon-white robe, and the colorful crown of his hair is tied with green silk on his head, and his neck is more and more white.

The ladies with lower rank in the Chu palace had already put on the most expensive splendid clothes they could wear, and they all waited for the queen to appear, but their eyes glanced at the unrestrained and smiling king of Chu on the throne from time to time.

The king of Chu did not appear with the queen, which was a good signal for the concubines, such a state banquet was obviously neglected, and the queen's status in the palace could be truly placed in front of everyone.

Especially after hearing the whispers of the ladies of the boudoir, they are looking forward to it more and more, not to mention, this banquet is very different from the simple style of the Chu Palace in the past, not only invited the heads and faces of the major families, but also the harem concubines and even the female officials who lived in hiding in the palaces were all invited.

These handsome guards did not turn a blind eye to the curious gaze of the Chu girl like their male-like prince, but held a friendly and attentive gaze, and several younger girls bowed their heads with red faces in each other's response, and received a good training from their mother-in-law, but they couldn't help but peek again.

In addition to the Qi State, the nobles of other vassal states stranded in the Chu capital were also invited, and many of them were invited for the first time since the King of Chu entered the Jinghua Palace. For them, today's events are very rare for the King of Chu, who has never liked feasts.

Some people whispered, and heard that it was because of a wonderful person.

The other asked who it was.

The person who spoke first was triumphant, talking about the Qi-Chu Alliance, the king of Chu sent his eldest son Jing Wei to the Qi State as a proton, and the Qi people married their daughters to the Chu State.

A yellow-bearded man next to him suddenly added, I heard that Jing Wei, the proton of the Chu State, was under house arrest after escaping from Chu and his whereabouts were unknown, until the King of Chu recovered the Chu capital and was crowned king, and the proton Wu Anjun was finally pardoned because of his relationship with the prince of Qi, so far he stayed in the State of Qi and became a guest of the prince.

When he said the last two words, his voice was lowered, as if the aftermath was lingering, and he didn't feel that it was enjoyable, so he bit his voice and said, "The doorman, the doorman of the inner room." The smell of the nickname was about to come out, and several other people understood it and snickered silently.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Anjun did not appear, and the queen did not appear, and the people in the palace watched the same singing and dancing, each with their own thoughts. Yellowbeard is a guest of Chen State, and when he can't wait for Chu, he drank a few glasses of wine, and looked at Gong E on the dance floor who was hot and hot, and his abdomen tightened, so he got up to make it convenient, but when he went out, he found that the entire outer hall was strangely quiet, and seeing that there was no one left and right, he was lazy and turned into a cluster of flowers and trees.

The moment the warm liquid soothed out, the sound of fine water ended, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

That's when I heard a low gasp.

"Do you want to be here?" A deep male voice.

"It's here." A flirtatious voice, with a chorus.

Then there was an ambiguous wheezing sound and the sound of light clothes, and a deep male voice said, "But someone has seen how it is good." ”

"It's good to kill it."

Yellowbeard broke out in a cold sweat, he had already heard who this frivolous voice was, it was Jiang Ci, the prince of Qi State, and the other voice, he remembered Fang Cai's discussion, and only felt goosebumps on his back.

Careful and careful, he gently lifted one foot and lowered it like walking on thin ice, and the entire sole of his foot was all against the ground, and then he carefully lifted the other foot

Before he put down that foot, he suddenly heard Jiang Ci snort: "He wants to go." ”

Yellowbeard was frightened by this sentence, and was about to run wildly, but the placket had been pinched, he turned around, and saw a handsome and terrifying face, the owner of the face looked at him with a smile, the placket on his chest was scattered, revealing his hardcover chest, he didn't dare to look at it again, only trembling and pleading: "Prince, I, I didn't see anything." ”

"Prince?" Jiang Ci obviously didn't believe it, he pulled Yellowbeard's face over and looked at it carefully.

Yellowbeard can't wait to give himself a slap: "......"

"Xiao Wang heard that you have a lot of opinions about my doorman, huh?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." He almost cried.

"The doorman of the inner chamber?" Jiang Ci repeated unhurriedly, looking at the yellow beard's face with disappointment, and beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.

He opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't break it down, he only begged: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers don't dare anymore." ”

Jiang Ci pressed a finger on his lips, his mouth let out a faint boo, and a slippery object slipped down his finger into Yellowbeard's throat, his heart was filled with nausea, but he didn't dare to vomit, and his brain suddenly became dizzy and hot for a moment.

"Your appearance, I'm really sorry for the fine inheritance of the Mu family." Jiang Ci stretched out his hand to wipe the placket of his clothes, and with a push of his hand, the yellow beard fell among the flowers, he raised his head, and the two men who were condescending were as handsome as evil ghosts, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and crawled out with a roll.

There was really no trace of the prince of Qi in the main hall, and several female officials opposite had ugly faces.

He sat in his position almost collapsed, and heard the side say that Jiang Ci had behaved badly in the main hall just now, and then he simply went out with his son Qian in his arms.

Gongzi Qian is also a famous family in the Chu capital, no wonder the other people's faces are so displeased, he looked up at the king of Chu again, but he didn't seem to hear it, just drank lightly one cup after another.

And General Yan Yin, who has always been inseparable from him, is not by his side.

Some guests of the Qi Kingdom showed the King of Chu the rouge holy fish offered this time.

The fish is very small, blood-red, and will not die immediately even when it leaves the water, as long as it drops a drop of water, it will live for four hours, and the most amazing thing is that this fish is hermaphroditic, only the blood of the virgin can awaken, and within an hour after the blood sacrifice, it will give birth to countless small fish eggs, which will grow when they see the water, and will soon spread all over the fish pond.

Such a characteristic is often used by palace people to test a woman's chastity.

Yellowbeard only saw that the Qi guest's mouth was open and closed, and his movements were elegant and polite, but he couldn't hear what he was saying at all. A few guests beside him teased him: "Master Mu went to the lotus pond to clean his hands, why is he covered in water." ”

He bowed his head in panic, only to find that his body was already soaked with sweat, and the yellow beard took the wine and drank it in large gulps, but the more he drank, the more thirsty he became, and it seemed that all the water had been drained along his body.

The exclamation began here, I don't know where to start, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the palace, the sound was first, it was like a young child's unprepared intestinal strangulation, and then, as if this scream caused an echo, from the depths of the Chu Palace, one after another, the whole palace suddenly seemed to be caged in a terrifying shadow.

The dancing queen of the main hall stopped dancing and looked at the king of Chu with a panicked face, and the king of Chu seemed to be quite surprised, he raised his hand, and the guards went out to check

Bao Tai's color changed greatly, and she turned her head suddenly: "That's the direction of Shouning Palace." ”

In the backyard of Shouning Palace, there are Cui'er and other palace ladies who are suffering from epidemic rashes.

The nobles in the main hall looked at each other, and the dutiful guards had already held down their weapons and were vigilant.

King Chu's eyes looked in the other direction, it was Zhu Zifang's way to Shouning Palace, he was not at ease, and called a guard: "Go and see if the queen has arrived at Ensi Lake." ”

From the beginning, he didn't want Xinhui to come. There were some things that he had been lucky with and didn't want her to be involved in them.

And on the other side of the palace wall. Under the arrangement of the king of Chu, the conscientious chamberlain carried the soft sedan chair and slowly moved forward, they walked very slowly, and the comfortable incense and the shaking of the soft sedan made people drowsy.

The king of Chu sent her all the detailed notes of approval accumulated in the past about once a day, and repeatedly emphasized that these terms are very important, and they must be confirmed clearly.

Hey, who said that these things don't worry about Mrs. Lao, you just need to take care of them.

Xin Hui hit the snake and got a lot of cheapness in a row, and even made the king of Chu agree to add a fish to the menu in the future, so that he could barely complete the task.

As a result, it was a moth of Qi again, and when it was time for the dinner, the venue of the night banquet was changed.

In fact, everything seemed very reasonable, but it was in the path of the guards that she chuckled slightly, and that sound was very slight, and she was disturbed by the incense, and it was revealed.

The soft sedan chair walked for a long time, and finally stopped by the Ensi Lake, Xin Hui already felt strange in her heart, but the waiter who led the way was respectful and natural, she got on the boat, looked at the dark and heavy island in the middle of the lake, and only felt a chill down her spine: "The night banquet is here?" ”

There were no lights on the island, and the quiet lanterns seemed more and more dead beneath the calm black water.

"Queen, please."

She got out of the sedan chair and turned her head to look at the way she came, and there were long steps under the boat, and she slowly went up the wooden ladder, her long skirt swaying to the ground.

The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief.

The evening breeze blew, and her confused mind suddenly cleared up.

The path they traveled was clearly wrong, they had walked for so long, not because they were walking slowly, but because they carefully avoided Kunhe Palace.

But why avoid Kun and Gong.

The waiter's heart was raised, and he urged quietly: "Madam, it's rude to be late." ”

Xin Hui turned his head to look at him, and the waiter hung his head, nothing unusual.

Of course, they had to avoid Kun He Palace, where she could not see, the tung oil in the backyard of Kun He Palace had almost lost its original smell, and was replaced by another, more fishy and disgusting smell, and after everyone's vomiting stopped, the backyard fell silent. At the suggestion of the female officer, the guards of the Yan family lit the torches in their hands, and under the bright candle flame, everyone was cold, in the greasy tung oil, there were lying Gong E, who had been slightly poisoned and fell into a coma, and the maids who lost their strength because of vomiting, and in their vomit, countless small black lines slowly squirmed, these black lines were originally the size of earthworms, and they were all bright because of the soaking of tung oil, and the guards with trembling hands almost fell off the torches.

The female officer frowned: "As the three national players said, it is the three corpses of Xirong."

。 ”

A guard asked, "What kind of Gu is this?" ”

The female officer's face wrinkled like a dried walnut, and her voice was dry: "The three corpses, a young girl, cut people's eyes, make people's eyes wrinkled, bad breath and teeth; The second is called Baigu, which makes people's abdomen full of annoyance, dry bones and scorched flesh, and the will does not rise, and they can't think about it; The third is called a blood girl, which is lustful enough and likes to kill. Gu poison is sent to the Gu mother, first through the bloodline to prosper and multiply, when there are enough numbers, and the host body is already empty, they will look for a new host, they start from scratch, once they reach the feet, the whole person has been controlled by the Gu poison, becoming a tool for killing, attacking all life. ”

She paused and looked at Gong'e below: "Burn it." ”

The guard who asked was stunned: "But the king and the general ordered-"

"This Gu poison hides a dangerous danger, and it can only be extinguished by fire." The female officer's face was cold, "If it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

The guard was so impressed by the majesty of the female officer that he complied and raised his hand to give the order.

At this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him: "Auntie." ”

The female officer turned her head and saw that it was Yan Yin, her expression did not change, and she only looked at the guard: "Light the fire." ”

Yan Yin didn't speak, and the guard turned his head to look at him.

The female officer snorted coldly: "Even the Yan family's cloud pattern pendant can't be called, you haven't been." ”

"Auntie's words, the people below, not only the palace ladies of the Chu Palace, but also the female officials and maids of the Chen State, even if the king personally disposes of it, they will ask the queen what she means first."

"The female ministers are entrusted by the rules of the Sheji Palace and the kings of Chu in previous dynasties, and they have the right to exercise any rights and interests in extraordinary times." The female officer turned her head to look at him, her eyes sharp.

"Does it also include such a plan as the rise and fall of the royal family?"

"Yan Yin!" The female officer shouted loudly.

"Auntie." Yan Yin was unmoved, only looked at the scene in the courtyard, and frowned slightly.

"The female minister can't afford to be the aunt of General Yan. The Yan family has moire accessories, the ancestral hall is named, and the incense can be entered into the family tree. And these three, General Yan, doesn't seem to have done any of them. ”

The corners of Yan Yin's eyes were raised, and he seemed to be smiling: "Really?" Since it's not my aunt, it's a pity. ”

The large sleeves of his wide robe revealed bright fragments of armor in the firelight.

"You!" The female officer obviously understood something, and her eyes were full of surprise.

But she didn't have time to say anything more, Yan Yin moved slightly, and pushed her down.

The special ladder fell, and she fell into the greasy tung oil, choking on a mouthful of tung oil, and then more tung oil poured up and burrowed into her bleeding wound.

"Take them all down." Yan Yin instructed, "Be careful, bring a silkworm mask." ”

"Yes." The guards were ordered to leave.

The other guard was a little hesitant, and all the cleaned palace ladies in the backyard were sprinkled with special medicinal powder.

"What about the female officer?"

"Didn't the lady order you to light the fire? Now it's time to get started. ”
