On the bluestone path, a eunuch and a palace maid each carried a cup of dim sum to Fenghua Palace.

Suddenly, something shiny in the grass on the side of the road caught their eye.

They couldn't help but take a few more looks, and something golden was faintly visible.

In their experience, this seems to be...... Gold?

The eunuch subconsciously walked to the edge of the grass, swept inside, and exclaimed, "There is gold here!" ”

The palace maid's eyes lit up, and she strode over and shouted, "It seems to be really gold!" ”

There was a gold ingot in the grass, and a few broken gold grains were scattered.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

Then the maid looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she put the tray on the ground, went into the grass, and bent down to pick up the ingot of gold.

The eunuch saw that she had done it, and was willing to let her pick it up alone, so he also put the tray on the ground and carefully searched for it in the grass, for fear of missing even a grain of gold.

No matter how rich the palace is, they are just slaves, and their wages are meager, how can there be a reason not to pick up gold when they see it?

Moreover, the gold is not marked in any way, and the value is not particularly large, so they should have no problem taking it.

Their attention was all on the gold, and they didn't notice a figure flash out from behind the tree, lift the lid of the bowl on the tray, pour some kind of powder into it, and quickly flash back behind the tree.

It only took a few seconds for this figure to disappear from the moment it appeared, and it did not make the slightest sound, which was like wind and lightning.

The palace maid and the eunuch quickly finished picking up the gold, glanced around, and when they saw that no one had found it, they were relieved, picked up the tray, and continued to walk towards Fenghua Palace.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the imperial dining room has prepared rice balls for the emperor and queen.

In the flower hall of Fenghua Palace, Qiu Guhan and Feng Jinghua had just had dinner and were waiting to eat rice balls.

Feng Jinghua didn't want to eat this with the man in front of her, but Qiu Guhan threatened her: "If you don't eat it, I will attack you tonight." ”

Feng Jinghua twitched the corners of his mouth, the skin did not smile, and the flesh did not smile: "The emperor is not a hooligan, please respect yourself." ”

"Who says I'm not a hooligan?" Qiu Guhan looked scoundrel, "When I'm alone with you, I'm definitely a hooligan!" ”

Feng Jinghua's face was expressionless: "This palace has always hated hooligans, and when you see one beating another, please don't make this kind of joke." ”

Qiu Guhan smiled: "Then just don't let you see it, right?" Can you know what I'm going to do to you after you fall asleep at night? ”

Feng Jinghua sneered: "After the emperor falls asleep at night, what does the palace want to do to you, do you know?" ”

Qiu Guhan smiled happily: "I know! I am younger than the queen, and I fall asleep later than the queen every time, and wake up earlier than the queen, so I know everything about what the queen says and does when she goes out to sleep at night, and if the queen wants to beat me secretly, it is probably impossible. ”

He paused, and said affectionately: "Actually, if the queen wants to do something to me, she doesn't have to wait until night, she can do it at any time, even if she wants to beat me and scold me, I won't fight back." ”

Didn't she notice that she used "Hongu"?

He liked her to call herself so, because only the queen could use the word "hongong" in this palace, and the queen was the emperor's wife.

Feng Jinghua twitched the corner of her mouth, should she give him a slap?

At this time, Hu Er and Yan Ji each came in with a tray: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the imperial dining room has sent rice balls." ”

The two put down the tray, came over with a crystal clear blue and white bowl, placed it on the table, lifted the lid of the bowl, scooped up the white jade ball-like rice balls inside, and put them into the small bowl.

"This bowl is filled with fruit, this bowl is filled with sesame seeds, peanuts and mung beans, please taste the emperor and the queen."

Feng Jinghua didn't want to feel any "reunion" with the man in front of her, but the dumplings were made round and greasy, like oversized pearls of various colors, which was so cute that she wanted to swallow them in one gulp.

She hesitated, but went to get the spoon and prepared to taste a fruit filling.

However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Qiu Guhan had already taken the soup spoon in her hand, filled a green-skinned fruit filling rice ball, and handed it to her mouth: "Come, open your mouth, I'll feed you-"

Feng Jinghua immediately frowned and shook his head back: "You want to poison me?" ”

Qiu Guhan smiled and said, "How can this rice ball be poisonous......

At this time, the eunuch who came over with the rice balls was standing at the door waiting for the evaluation of the emperor and the queen, because he had picked up gold on the road before, his heart was excited and nervous, absent-minded, and suddenly heard the emperor say that "the rice balls are poisonous", and he was shocked and reflexively shouted: "The emperor is clear, this rice balls are brought directly from the imperial dining room by the slaves, and there is absolutely no poison!" ”

Qiu Guhan frowned: "Didn't you see me and the queen eating, why are you making a lot of noise?" ”

Feng Jinghua said coldly: "There was no poison when I came out of the imperial dining room, but in the hands of the emperor, it is difficult to say whether there is poison or not." ”

Her original intention was just to tear down the emperor's platform and ask for some cheapness, but the eunuch came over for the first time to bring food, and when she heard this, she took it seriously, and said urgently: "The slave can guarantee his life, this rice ball is absolutely not poisonous, please the emperor and the queen mother!" ”

Qiu Guhan looked at Feng Jinghua and said with a smile: "The people in this palace have guaranteed their lives, so you can eat with confidence, right?" ”

Feng Jinghua looked at the rice balls that had been handed to her mouth, as well as his hateful smile, and felt depressed in her heart.

Did she know him well?

Is she very close to him?

Why did he do such a good thing that she had a good relationship with him?

She obviously has a bad relationship with him, right?

She didn't want him to feed her, and in front of so many people.

So she rolled her eyes slightly, and said to the eunuch, "Come here." ”

The eunuch didn't know what she was going to do, so he came over tremblingly: "What does Niangniang command?" ”

Feng Jinghua smiled: "Open your mouth." ”

The eunuch opened his mouth in confusion.

Feng Jinghua smiled slyly, suddenly snatched the spoon in Qiu Guhan's hand, and stuffed the green-skinned rice ball into the eunuch's mouth: "This is the emperor himself who fed you, you have to be grateful and eat this rice ball." ”

Where did that eunuch dare to spit out the rice balls that the queen had stuffed into his mouth?

But they didn't dare to swallow it.

But with the rice balls in his mouth, he looked at the emperor pitifully, can he eat this rice ball?

Qiu Guhan was speechless for a while, and waved his hand helplessly: "Eat, eat, eat." ”

The eunuch saw that the emperor and the queen didn't seem to be angry, so he swallowed the rice balls in one gulp.

After swallowing it, he said carefully: "The slave thanks the emperor and the queen for the reward." ”

Qiu Guhan smiled and scooped up another rice ball: "Look, this rice ball is really not poisonous, you can eat it, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a "porphyry" next to him, and the eunuch fell to the ground, bleeding from his lips, his body twisted slightly, and his face was full of pain.

His face changed, he reacted quickly, and ordered: "This rice ball is poisonous, immediately call the imperial doctor to come over to test the poison!" Also, seal and search Fenghua Palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and once suspicious items and suspicious characters are found, they will be seized immediately! ”
