Chapter 179: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet
The palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was held as usual in the Ziji Hall, the music was peaceful, the song was graceful, and after the civil and military officials congratulated Tuoba Jun, they also pushed the cups and exchanged lamps, talking and laughing lowly. However, the atmosphere on the drying platform was a little dreary.
Because of the matter of the ancient red sandalwood, the Empress Dowager Chang had a cold face, and the concubine only nodded slightly, and her gaze at Feng Luoli was even more unkind. In contrast, Tai Zhaoyi, who was recuperating for a winter, was much kinder and more generous, showing the demeanor of an elderly person between her hands and feet, and her demeanor of presiding over the overall situation was natural.
Although Tuoba Jun was a little unhappy because of Yue Linglong's affairs, he naturally smiled on his face because of the New Year. Turning his head to see that Feng Luoli sitting beside him was always smiling gently, he felt a lot more relieved.
After the news of the ancient red sandalwood spread, all kinds of people in the palace had different intentions, some waited-and-see, some privately criticized, some waited to see a good show, and some had nothing to do with themselves. Just like Gao Yang, who suffered a secret loss in Boling a few days ago, sat gracefully next to the Empress Dowager Chang in a purple and red costume today, very decent toast or accept the toast and talk happily with the concubines around her, and from time to time she looked at Feng Luoli with a meaningful smile, as if she was the serious master in this palace.
Feng Luoli kept smiling, as if the soft smile had frozen at the corner of his lips. Originally, Feng Luoli was also worried and scared in his heart, but when he saw Murong Baiyao sitting in the middle of the hundreds of officials talking and laughing so conspicuously, the hanging heart was inexplicably put down.
Between the singing and dancing, the official Qingzhu beside Yue Linglong hurriedly ran to the front of the hall in a plain blue shirt, and among the many gorgeous colors, the plain green immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Qing knelt on the ground with a thud, spreading tears, "Yuejiao room...... The pepper room is not good! ”
This cry complained of the silence of the hall, and the Empress Dowager Chang stretched her neck to look at Zhu Qing, and asked busily: "Yuejiaofang, what's wrong with her?" ”
Tuoba Jun patted the case in front of him coldly, his eyes were cold, "What does it look like to cry on this day of celebration?!" I didn't wipe my tears yet, and I made it clear. Isn't the Yuejiao room recuperating in the temple? What's wrong with it? ”
Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, glanced at Feng Luoli with tears in his eyes, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid will feed Yuejiao Room to drink water." Unexpectedly, Yuejiaofang's hands and feet were cold, and there was no temperature in his body. Like ...... It's like ......"
"What do you say?!!" Empress Dowager Chang stood up suddenly, her eyes widened, and then she glanced at Feng Luoli fiercely, "You... Ok, good, good! With that, he strode away.
"Li Xuan will go with me to take a look!"
Tuoba Jun pulled Feng Luoli to stand up. After following the instructions of Tuoba Pi, he walked towards the harem.
Tuoba Pi nodded, looked at Feng Luoli who was being led by Tuoba Jun, and nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, Niang Niang go slowly!" There are old ministers here, no need to worry! ”
The lights in the Yunhua Hall were bright, and Zhou Tang and the imperial doctors were already there.
"Wechen see Your Majesty! See the Queen Mother! Zhou Tang and the group of imperial doctors bowed and saluted.
"How's the Pepper Room?"
Tuoba Jun asked in a deep voice. Li Xuan, who was beside him, stepped forward to cut the pulse and diagnose according to the routine.
"Back to Your Majesty, the pulse of Yuejiaofang is interrupted from time to time and the body temperature is lost, which is a sign of mercury poisoning by mistake."
"Mercury?! That thing can be deadly, how can it be eaten by mistake? Empress Dowager Chang stared at Zhou Tang and reprimanded sharply. You have been waiting in this Yunhua Palace, and you don't even know that Yuejiao Fang accidentally ingested mercury?! ”
"The Queen Mother is angry!" Zhou Tang bowed his hand, and fine sweat couldn't help but ooze from his old cheeks, "The food used in the Yuejiao room should be checked by Wechen, and there is nothing containing mercury, as for how to eat it by mistake, Wechen ......" said Zhou Tang knelt on the ground, "Wechen is ineffective, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
"That's it! Let Yi Hun find out about this matter and then convict him! Tuoba Jun's voice was cold. How is the Yuejiao room now? But are you still worried about your life? ”
"Fang Caichen and the others have already asked Jiaofang to take the antidote medicine, and this time it is no big problem! It's just that the Jiaofang is already depleted, and with the poison of Thunder Ivy, I'm afraid it won't last long this time. ”
"Your Majesty! Lives matter! Empress Dowager Chang looked at Tuoba Jun with a pleading look in her eyes. The Buddhists say that saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the mourning family thinks that human life is important......"
"Queen Mother!" Tuoba Jun interrupted Empress Dowager Chang's words and looked at her deeply, "I have my own decision in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it, Queen Mother!" ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Tuoba Jun didn't give Empress Dowager Chang a chance to speak again, and stepped forward to glance at Yue Linglong, who was pale and lovely. After instructing Zhou Yu and the others to take care of them, they would leave the Yunhua Palace.
"Your Majesty!" Empress Dowager Chang shouted, but Tuoba Jun still stopped, "This deliberate murder of Yuejiaofang is related to the harem system, and I also ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate and severely punish the murderer, and never forgive!" ”
Tuoba Jun clenched his fists and nodded, "Don't worry, Queen Mother!" I will investigate this matter thoroughly! Then he looked at Feng Luoli, "Let's go back!" ”
"Your Majesty, the mourning family has a few words to say to Feng Guiren, I don't know if it's okay?"
Tuoba Jun looked at Feng Luoli and knew what the Empress Dowager Chang wanted, and wanted to take her out of here. The corners of Feng Luoli's lips smiled, and he nodded slowly, signaling that he was relieved.
"The Queen Mother is still a long story short, the ministers of culture and martial arts are still waiting for the royal Chinese New Year's Eve ceremony in the Ziji Hall, don't miss the time." Tuoba Jun said, raised his feet and left the Yunhua Palace.
Empress Dowager Chang walked past Feng Luoli's eyes, "You come with me!" ”
Feng Luoli raised his heel and walked into the hazy palace behind the Empress Dowager Chang, the cold wind was blowing in his face, and there was no trace of tomorrow as a harbinger of the New Year.
"Feng! You're hell-bent on killing her, aren't you? Standing still in a corridor, Empress Dowager Chang suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Feng Luoli with a pair of eyes full of hatred and anger, as if she raised her palm and waved her hand out of instinct.
"Queen Mother, if you slap it down, it will be impossible for your sons to save her." Feng Luoli looked directly at the angry gaze of the Empress Dowager Chang, and she was not afraid at all.
"What did you say?"
The Empress Dowager Chang, who was slapping her, stared at Feng Luoli, eager to swallow her alive, and Yue Linglong, who was already dying, poisoned people again this time. The person who can do this, except for Feng Luoli, will not have a second person.
Feng Luoli's eyes were clear and quiet, and the corners of his lips hung a smile that was a little colder than the cold wind, "Now that Yue Linglong has died, the person who has benefited the most is undoubtedly me, but I am undoubtedly the one who is the most suspicious and has the most enemies when I take this step." Feng Luoli slowly turned sideways to avoid the cold wind that came directly in front of her, "The power of the Queen Mother, the sons still know more or less, once they lose your support, even if the gifts of the hand-cast gold man are complete, the chances of the sons and daughters of the rites will not be too great." In this way, if I poison Yue Linglong at this time, it will not be worth it for me! ”
"You're saying you weren't poisoned?" (To be continued.) )
