Chapter 113: Poisonous
"She obviously knows what I have in mind about General Lu, but she still dares to ask for blessings in front of so many people, didn't she mean to embarrass me!" Feng Yi Zhu cried and said.
Zhou Guifei sighed and said helplessly: "It is precisely because you have thoughts about General Lu that she will deliberately embarrass you in front of so many people and exchange places, if your husband is taken by a girl with a higher status than you, a better appearance than you, and someone behind her to protect her, what will you do in a panic?" ”
Feng Yi Zhu couldn't answer, she swallowed her anger, raised her face and asked the concubine: "Queen Mother, what do you think I should do?" ”
Zhou Guifei was waiting for her words, hooked her lips and said shallowly: "You'd better pretend that nothing happened now and go out immediately." ”
She bowed her head for Fengyi Zhu's stunned dress, and pulled the broken hair of her sideburns behind her ears for her.
"Either way, you can't tell that the joke is."
Fengyi Zhu nodded nervously, and looked at his mother with tearful eyes: "Then what about my eyes?" ”
"Someone will bring you a wet towel later, you can put it on your eyes, and it will be fine soon." Zhou Guifei said lovingly, "Don't lose your temper in the future, don't cry anymore, you have to think that your identity is extremely noble, you are the emperor's favorite princess, and An Xiabai, she can't even compare to you with a finger, you must not be pinched by her." ”
Feng Yi agreed with red eyes.
At this banquet, Lu Li was holding An Xiabai's hand and looking for his position.
He lowered his voice and asked An Xiabai: "Were you jealous just now?" ”
If Lu Li was not mistaken just now, when she was talking to Feng Yi Zhu, a flash of anger flashed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, she definitely didn't come out after being embarrassed by Feng Yi Zhu.
She must be jealous of herself, Lu Li firmly believes it, but she still wants to hear her admit it herself.
"I-" An Xiabai's words were sluggish, and he wanted to deny it directly, but when he saw the expectation at the corners of Lu Li's eyebrows, he suddenly felt a little unbearable for some reason, forget it, admit that there will be no shortage of meat.
"That's right, I'm just jealous," she smiled and winked at Lu Li, and said frankly, "My husband should be mine, and no one else is allowed to covet her, even if she is a princess." ”
This is the first time that An Xia Bai has shown possessiveness to himself, and Lu Li's heart is sweet.
Obviously, the whole person was very happy, but he refused to turn his head to look at An Xiabai, but responded in a firm tone, saying, "I'm Madame." ”
After the two of them were seated, the queen also came to the banquet.
The birthday banquet of the thirteenth princess, the emperor also had plans to come, and the reason why he did not show up later was because he heard that Fengyi Zhu's birthday banquet was held, and he thought that some of the border soldiers could not even eat longevity peaches on their birthdays, so he couldn't bear it, so he didn't come.
However, the queen's visit in person also gave Fengyi Zhu face.
"Why didn't my father come?" Feng Yi Zhu asked in a low voice.
Zhou Guifei couldn't bear to tell her the truth of the matter, so she perfunctorily said that the emperor was upset about the border affairs at this time, and he didn't have time to come over to participate.
Feng Yi Zhu believed it.
At the suggestion of Concubine Zhou, after the queen was seated, the banquet officially began.
As the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, Fengyi Zhu personally distributed longevity peaches, and in the praise and wishes of everyone, a flower almost smiled on her face.
When the longevity peach was sent to An Xiabai and Lu Li, the smile on her leather face froze slightly.
In the end, she barely managed to hold on, she personally sent Shou Tao to An Xiabai, and said with a smile: "This peach is a royal tribute, even if people outside want to eat it, they may not have the opportunity to eat it, Mrs. Lu, how about you taste it?" ”
"Thank you, princess." An Xia smiled with white hooked lips.
In fact, one of the fruits she doesn't like to eat the most is peaches, if it weren't for the sake of Fengyi Zhu personally sending it, she might not necessarily give face.
Lu Li knew her habit, and after Feng Yi Zhu left, he immediately took An Xiabai's hand with concern: "Madam, if you don't want to eat, it's good if you don't eat it, I remember that you hate peaches the most." ”
"Who said I hate peaches?" An Xiabai raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile on her face, "Husband, you are mistaken. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Li's whole person began to be confused: "I remember what you said? ”
"You're mistaken." She insisted that Lu Li was wrong, and then gently patted Lu Li's hand and asked him to turn his head to look, "There seems to be an adult who has something to say to her husband, husband, don't you ask?" ”
Lu Li turned his head to look with doubts, and really saw a very familiar person.
That's his colleague in the Forbidden Army.
"I'll go say hi to him." Lu Li told An Xiabai.
What he didn't know was that An Xiabai was waiting for this opportunity, and as soon as he took a step, An Xiabai turned his head to stare at the longevity peach on the white jade plate.
Ming Shou Tao looked extremely delicious, but in her eyes, it looked like a terrible dish.
"I hope I made the right choice." She sighed lightly and took a bite of the longevity peach as if she were dead, and she didn't even have time to chew it, so she swallowed it directly into her stomach.
At the same time, Fengyi Zhu brought a wine glass to toast the queen.
Even if the emperor didn't come, only the queen came to support the scene, she felt very satisfied, according to the convention, the birthday star should toast her.
"This palace is not strong enough to drink, so I won't drink the princess's wine." The queen pressed the corner of her forehead, and there was a gentle and peaceful smile on the corner of her lips, but the first sentence she said was to embarrass Feng Yi Zhu, whose face was blue and white, and she didn't seem to know how to deal with this kind of scene.
If the emperor was present, it was estimated that she would give the queen hundreds of guts, and she wouldn't dare to embarrass herself in front of so many people, right?
Feng Yi Zhu's gaze turned to Zhou Guifei as if asking for help.
The latter was also observing their situation, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately walked forward quickly.
As a result, she didn't even have a chance to speak.
When Zhou Guifei was about to open her mouth, the queen showed impatience on her face, and she drank the wine glass in front of her.
The people below saw these pictures in their eyes and began to talk about them.
Fengyi Zhu didn't know why, the anger in Zhou Guifei's heart was on the verge of exploding, and she spent a lot of effort to barely keep herself calm and not lose her temper in front of so many people at the birthday banquet of the thirteenth princess.
"Queen, is there anything wrong with you?" She asked with concern, "The concubine doesn't seem to be right with your face. ”
"It's really a little uncomfortable, but it's okay, today is the big day of the thirteenth princess, and the palace has to wait until the banquet is over before leaving." She smiled and insisted on not leaving, insisting on staying to make Zhou Guifei uncomfortable, and Zhou Guifei couldn't directly scold, so she could only swallow her anger back into her stomach, and silently greeted the eighteenth generation of the queen's ancestors in her heart.
Just when Zhou Guifei retreated with Fengyi Zhu, a noisy voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Mrs. Lu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Everyone's eyes turned to An Xiabai, and Lu Li was the same, he was in a hurry, and hurried to the place where An Xiabai was: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
An Xiabai propped up the table with one hand, and pressed his stomach tightly with the other hand, his brows furrowed, as if he was in great pain.
Lu Li's heart was like a knife, and she hated to transfer all her pain to herself: "Madam, don't scare me!" ”
Zhou Guifei was puzzled and uneasy, and immediately ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
The sharp-eyed people at the banquet could see that An Xiabai was fine just now, but now he suddenly had a severe stomach pain, and there must be a ghost.
Among them, there was a lady who knew how to heal, and she took out the silver needle she was carrying and came forward: "Mrs. Lu, did you eat anything just now?" ”
An Xiabai curled up in Lu Li's arms, raised his head with great difficulty, and pointed at Shou Tao with trembling fingertips.
The lady pricked the needle, and the silver needle immediately turned black.
Everyone's faces changed greatly, especially those who had eaten Shou Tao, and they all showed panicked expressions: "I also ate Shou Tao just now, I won't be fine, seeing Mrs. Lu so uncomfortable, she must have been poisoned!" ”
The queen was the first to react, she first scolded Zhou Guifei with a cold face, and then asked Lu Li to take An Xiabai to the room to settle first.
The Imperial Physician soon arrived, and Thian Xia Bai came to diagnose and treat her, confirming that she was poisoned, but the poison was not fatal, but would make the user suffer from unbearable abdominal pain.
The doctor prescribed a prescription, saying that the symptoms would be relieved after taking the decoction.
Zhou Guifei and Fengyi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Before they had time to be happy, the queen, whose face was only a little worse than Lu Li's, suddenly spoke: "The thirteenth princess is not about to kneel." ”
Feng Yi Zhu was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Zhou Guifei: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I kneel?" ”
Zhou Guifei's face was also ugly: "Queen Mother, I haven't found out at this time, is it not appropriate to convict rashly?" ”
"Shou Tao was personally prepared by the Thirteenth Princess, and it was also sent to Mrs. Lu by the Thirteenth Princess, and now that the stolen goods have been obtained, what reason is there to exonerate them?" The queen glanced at An Xiabai, who was pale on the bed, and sneered, "I heard that the thirteenth princess has long been at odds with Mrs. Lu, and has made Mrs. Lu ugly in front of everyone several times, but the palace feels that the case has been solved." ”
The queen insisted that Fengyi Zhu was the murderer, and she didn't want to give her a chance to cry out for injustice.
Feng Yi Zhu was angry and afraid, she knew that the queen had long seen her unpleasantly, and the queen would not condone her like the emperor, so she knelt down very simply: "I am wronged, even if I am dissatisfied with Mrs. Lu, I can't poison her, today's banquet is a birthday banquet organized by me myself, poisoning her in front of so many people, isn't it impossible to get along with myself?" ”
Zhou Guifei hurriedly echoed: "Yes, there must be a misunderstanding, the longevity peaches in the hands of all the guests were personally given by the thirteenth princess, why are others okay, but Mrs. Lu has something to do after eating longevity peaches?" There must be some misunderstanding here. I also hope that the queen mother will investigate thoroughly. ”
The queen smiled coldly and said: "The palace doesn't dare to check on you, so let's do it, since Zhou Guifei and the thirteenth princess feel wronged, why don't we report the matter to the emperor and let him investigate?" ”
