On this night, the emperor and queen were happy, the concubines were harmonious, and the prince was happy.

Zhao Guangyi drove his own expedition and was injured by an arrow in the Gaoliang River, and he almost never drank alcohol again, but today he made an exception and was drunk.

Empress Li saw that the emperor was already drunk, so she offered to help him go back to rest. Zhao Guangyi nodded in agreement, and left with the concubine first.

When the princes saw their father leaving, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, and they began to drink and guess boxing.

Zhao Yuanxi came to Zhao Mingyue with a wine glass and said with a smile: "Little sister Mingyue, my father praised you all night, which really made us feel ashamed of being brothers." ”

"The second brother is really good at laughing, I'm just idle and bored, just go out for a walk, if the second brother leaves Kaifeng Mansion and learns from me to go out for a walk, see if my father doesn't break your legs?" Zhao Mingyue said with a smile.

"Haha, that's true, but it still shows that your father favors you."

Zhao Mingyue smiled and didn't answer, thinking that it was not wrong for my father to favor me, but in the final analysis, because I was a girl, he didn't have particularly high expectations for me.

Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "Have you ever seen your eldest brother since you came back?" ”

Zhao Mingyue was stunned for a moment and said: "Not yet, they said that the eldest brother's condition has improved, and it is not appropriate to disturb him too much, I have some other things recently, so I haven't gone yet." ”

"That's your fault, my eldest brother has loved you since he was a child, and he has mentioned you to me several times." Zhao Yuanxi reproached.

"But the imperial doctor said not to let others disturb him, didn't you see that he didn't come today?"

"Are you someone else? You are his favorite sister, the eldest brother has always cared about family affection, don't you know why he went crazy, it was because of the death of the third uncle and Dezhao and Defang. So, if you go to see him more, maybe he will be cured of his illness as soon as he is happy. ”

"Really? Second brother, what you said makes sense, it's all my fault, I haven't seen my eldest brother for so long. ”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded and said, "Mingyue, this place is about to disperse, this place is not far from the eldest brother's Chu Wangfu, you can go and take a look." ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded in agreement, and hurriedly said goodbye to the brothers and sisters, saying that she wanted to go to see the eldest brother by the way.

At this time, Zhao Yuanzuo was already ready to sleep, but when he heard that Zhao Mingyue was coming, he got up to change his clothes again and went to the front hall.

"Hahaha, Mingyue, do you still know that there is a big brother like me, how long will you come back and not come to see me?" Zhao Yuanzuo entered the door and laughed.

"Big brother, it's all bad for the little sister, you can beat me." Zhao Mingyue said ashamedly.

"Hahaha, you know that your eldest brother is reluctant to beat you, so you said this cheap thing, right?" Zhao Yuanzuo sat on the chair with a smile.

Zhao Mingyue stuck out her tongue and sat next to him.

"Mingyue, why do you want to come to see your eldest brother in the middle of the night?" Zhao Yuanzuo asked.

"After the family banquet, I saw that it was still early, so I stopped by and didn't disturb my eldest brother's rest, right?"

"No, Mingyue can come, and the eldest brother is happy if he doesn't rest...... Wait, what do you say? What is a family feast? Zhao Yuanzuo asked suspiciously.

"The family banquet is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet organized by my father, everyone is there, don't you know? They said you took a leave of absence, huh? Zhao Mingyue was even more puzzled.

Zhao Yuanzuo stood up suddenly, his face turned red, and his lips trembled: "You organized a family banquet, but there was no me?" Am I not even your family? ”

Zhao Mingyue immediately felt a numb scalp, feeling that she had fallen into a big trap, but she didn't know how to get out.

"Big brother, don't get excited......

"Can I not get excited? If you have a family banquet, you will have a family banquet, what is it if you come to tell me, come and see my jokes? Zhao Yuanzuo said angrily.

"Big brother, it's not like this, there may be a misunderstanding or even a conspiracy here, you have to be calm." Zhao Mingyue Bingxue was smart, and she had already guessed it at this time.

"What conspiracy?"

"Maybe this family banquet was made by some people who covet the throne, and it is not a real family banquet, and we can't fall into the trap of some people." Zhao Mingyue explained.

"Go to his old son's throne, I don't want the throne, I don't want the emperor, but I still want to be a son, I still want a brother, I want a family banquet, I want relatives." The more Zhao Yuanzuo spoke, the more excited he became, all the teacups on the table were smashed to the ground by him, the furniture in the room was overturned, and finally he lay on the ground and pulled his hair and hit his head.

The madness that finally got good happened again.

For a while, the whole palace of the king of Chu was alarmed, and the imperial doctor hurriedly arrived, commanding the palace maids and eunuchs to coax Zhao Yuanzuo and take him back to the back house.

Zhao Mingyue was not at ease and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the imperial doctor.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the prince has been stimulated and gone crazy with you, and you should not see him again for the time being."

"I ......." Zhao Mingyue was in a hurry and had no choice but to return to the harem. But this night, she didn't see each other, and she didn't know what would happen to her eldest brother?

Obviously, this family banquet was a conspiracy from the beginning, a conspiracy carefully designed by the second brother, but it is ridiculous that he has always been clever, but he was used as a gun by the second brother, and he successfully stabbed the eldest brother in the vital point.

She was remorseful, but helpless. All the siblings at the family dinner knew that she went to see her eldest brother, after which the eldest brother became ill. She has set her back on this black cauldron.

It doesn't matter if she is behind the blame, she Zhao Mingyue doesn't care, she just hopes that her eldest brother will not be seriously stimulated and will get better after a good night's sleep.

She knelt on the bed on her knees, her head on the ground, and prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless her eldest brother with safety.

Finally, when it was dawn, she hurriedly got up and asked about the situation of the king of Chu.

However, something really happened to the Chu Palace.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, quietly got up and set fire to the palace of the king of Chu.

The fire burned until dawn and many people died.

In the early morning of the same day, Zhao Guangyi was furious when he heard about this and ordered Zhao Yuanzuo to be executed on the spot.

The Manchu civil and military forces were shocked and knelt on the ground to plead for mercy.

As the prince of Chu, if he was executed, it would affect the prestige of the entire court. Zhao Guangyi finally decided to spare Zhao Yuanzuo's life and sent him to Ryukyu and never returned to Beijing.

The next day, Zhao Yuanzuo took a small light car and was sent to Ryukyu.

He has more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters, and only his younger brothers, the third Zhao Yuankan and Zhao Mingyue, came to see him off.

Zhao Mingyue felt guilty, and cried and said to Zhao Yuanzuo: "Big brother, it's all my fault, I hurt you." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo completely lost yesterday's excitement, and smiled like a normal person: "Silly girl, I don't blame you, I know everything, but I can't help myself when I start my illness." It's good now, everyone is happy, no one has to be suspicious of anyone, no one has to guard against anyone. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhao Yuankan and said, "Third brother, you have to protect yourself, if the eldest brother is not here, you will be the most dangerous person in the future." ”
