In the end, he is a pampered man, and the oldest King Jing has no old age on his face.

Perhaps the days of the fiefdom were too leisurely, King Jing looked younger than the old emperor, although he did not have gray hair on his head, but the wrinkles on his face were not deep.

The relationship between the two princes who have been practicing martial arts all the year round, has a tough body, a voice like a flood, and a look in their eyes, compared with the old emperor who has been worrying about trivial affairs all year round, the choice is much healthier.

The old emperor quietly examined the two brothers, and the jealousy in his heart became more and more intense.

King Jing and King Lu walked to the queen mother's bed with red eyes, and their voices choked to express their grief and expectations, and the scene was once touching.

Because today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, so the sad words are over, King Jing and King Lu know how to measure themselves.

Several of the most important figures of the dynasty arrived belatedly, and the atmosphere in the banquet area, which had been finally relaxed, became solemn again.

This should be the last gathering of the royal family and everyone in the court this year, everyone strives to maintain the most perfect ending, at least to draw a complete end to this year, of course, the most important thing is that no one wants to touch the old emperor's head at this time.

Today, not a single concubine by the old emperor's side has arrived, and Concubine Tao, who originally expected to dominate the banquet, did not sit with the old emperor, but sat in the position of previous years.

The old emperor said a few words in a routine manner, which was nothing more than a reward for the hard work and dedication of the ministers this year.

King Jing and King Lu didn't say a word from beginning to end, let alone talk to the people around them, after all, they stayed in their fiefdoms all the year round, and there was basically no explicit intersection with the people in the court.

For today's banquet, everyone from the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion has arrived, including Shen Huaihao and Huang Zheng.

In the speculation of outsiders, Shen Huaihao does not like Huang Zheng, after all, she is the princess of the enemy country, no matter how noble her identity is, she is just a prisoner in the imperial dynasty, and she is a chess piece abandoned by southern Xinjiang, which is used to dispel the old emperor's jealousy and means of southern Xinjiang.

If you really want to talk about it, Huang Zheng's identity is in the imperial dynasty, and even the ordinary nobles in the circle are not as good, and if Shen Huaihao and the people from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion do anything to Huang Zheng, Huang Zheng's maiden family is far away in the sky, and it is really called heaven and earth should not be called the earth.

So even if some people envy that Huang Zheng can enter the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and enjoy those extravagant things, but more of them are gloating, without the support of his mother's family, Huang Zheng's life in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will not be easy.

With this kind of gossip mood, Shen Huaihao has been noticed more times today, and gradually, everyone has discovered that it is tired, or something different from what they guessed.

Shen Huaihao and Huang Zheng seem to have a very good relationship, the two interact from time to time in the seat, although Shen Huaihao has few smiles on his face, he can look at Huang Zheng with a strong affection, as a person who has come over, everyone knows that this is an expression of true feelings, not just for them to see.

Of course, people who are accustomed to deceiving themselves and others and speculating about other people's minds at will still think that this is just what Shen Huaihao did for them.

Then, everyone's thoughts were on Gu Jinzhen.

As one of the most outstanding peers in the imperial dynasty, Gu Jinzhen has a very high status in the court, and it can be said that he is already a very popular minister. He is only a weak crown of age, the power in his hands, and his position in the army, it can be said that even several other great generals of the dynasty cannot reach.

Even if Gu Jinzhen is only a general now and does not have a knighthood, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a marquis.

Even if the old emperor is not happy, as long as Gu Jinzhen guards the southern Xinjiang for a day, as long as he still has military exploits, the title will be in Gu Jinzhen's pocket sooner or later, and the most eye-catching thing is Gu Jinzhen's private treasury.

When he married Qiao Lixi before, those eye-popping dowry gifts, now, Qiao Lixi is gone, those things are back in the hands of Gu Jinzhen, who is the next Grandma Gu, those things are who's!

The most golden-value bachelor of the dynasty, whether it is power, status, or wealth, Gu Jinzhen bears the brunt, not only among the powerful figures of his peers, but also many old ministers.

No matter what Gu Jinzhen's situation is in the future, at least at this time, the old emperor can't deal with him, and for a long time, he can't move him.

What's more, now that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has something to do with the royal family in southern Xinjiang, whether it is the old emperor or the next ruler, they will not easily move the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, otherwise, it will cause disputes between the two countries.

Before there is no perfect certainty that he can swallow up the southern Xinjiang, the old emperor will not act rashly, let alone the Shen family army who is eyeing the tiger.

After figuring out these joints, Gu Jinzhen became the hottest figure among the girls who did not come out of the cabinet in the circle, and the best husband candidate.

The Feng family can't handle Gu Jinzhen now, so Gu Jinzhen's marriage should be the old lady of Yuanhou in the town, and the old lady Lu has the final say.

In other words, it was time for them to hang out in front of Mrs. Lu properly.

The solemn atmosphere at the banquet did not affect the interest of the old emperor at all, in order to cooperate with the old emperor, these conscientious courtiers, with their families, tried their best to act.

The palace is heavily guarded, especially in today's situation, it is three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

Several princes are in a good mood, no matter who is the prince in the end, in front of the old emperor, the brothers, friends and brothers who should be maintained still have to be maintained.

It's just that everyone knows that this kind of palace banquet is the most likely place for dirty things to happen, so everyone is scared, and before the end of the banquet, what they don't want to happen still happens.

Everyone looked at the palace maid lying on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to speak.

The palace maid was in charge of delivering snacks and wine, and inexplicably fell to the ground in full view of everyone, and after a few struggles, she bled and lost her breath, which frightened the timid ladies and nobles to scream again and again.

The palace maid who can serve her master in the palace will not have hidden diseases.

Especially among the palace maids and eunuchs who can show their faces at the banquet today, which one is not a human spirit, and which one is not superior in ability among people of the same kind?

After fighting for the blood flow, and finally winning the first place, qualified to appear at the palace banquet, how can there be a problem with the body?

This kind of thing is usually hidden, and the doctor will not be asked to examine the corpse in full view.

But the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Regardless of whether this palace maid's death was accidental or man-made, it was a provocation to him!

Everyone has provoked him, if he doesn't do something, how can he defend his imperial power!

Therefore, this time, the old emperor not only had to perform an autopsy in front of everyone, but also defended his sovereignty with practical actions.

The provocative gaze swept over the sons and two brothers who were sitting precariously below, and the disdain on the old emperor's face was undisguised.

It's not the first time that the imperial doctor has done something like a fool, after all, one or two people will die in the palace from time to time, from nobles, small lords to inconsequential palace maids and eunuchs, regardless of identity and status, as long as they stand on the wrong team, no matter how clever and capable they are, it is all in vain.

Because the old emperor personally pressed the formation, the speed of the imperial doctor was very fast, and the final diagnosis did not live up to expectations, and he died of poisoning.

According to the report of the palace maid on duty with her, this person was the palace maid of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and she was transferred because of the temporary transfer of manpower.

"What's the matter, aren't there any other palace maids in the palace? Why did the palace maid who served the Queen Mother call over? ”

"Back to the emperor," the grandmother who was in charge of arranging manpower said tremblingly, "Originally, there was no arrangement for Ruyi, but Ruyi took the initiative to ask for it." Moreover, the queen mother's side on duty today is not Ruyi, so the slave and maid transferred her over. ”

"Oh?" The old emperor tightened his eyes.

A court maid is not the same as a eunuch.

The palace maid is like a slave of a wealthy family, if she can climb into the master's bed and make a room, or there is still a chance for an aunt.

Of course, there are smart palace maids, and their eyes are not only on the emperor, after all, the emperor is old, and following a man older than his father only satisfies the desire for power and status, but it is difficult to satisfy the physical desire.

What's more, these palace maids are also doing the work of serving people in the palace, and they really have to change their identities, they are subordinates in front of their previous masters, and their identities are not noble in front of their previous friends.

It's embarrassing.

After staying in the harem for a long time, the palace ladies know the sinister nature of the harem, so they have a long-term vision and will put their minds on the prince, the prince, or the ministers.

Today's banquet is an opportunity!

Therefore, Ruyi strongly demanded that he be on duty at the banquet today, and even did not hesitate to give the money to the grandmother who arranged the manpower, and sharpened her head to make it up.

When I checked it here, there seems to be no problem.

Because the imperial doctor said with certainty that Ruyi died of poisoning, then it was necessary to start with what she had eaten and drank.

It's just that this point made the old emperor very disappointed.

Because from noon, these people eat together in order to prepare for the banquet, and if there is a problem, it will not be specifically targeted.

Because the food is taken randomly, it is not delivered, it is to receive the food by yourself, what you want to eat, you choose it yourself, take it yourself, and it is not through the hands of others.

"Unless ......" the slow voice of the Tai Doctor made everyone's hearts tug again.

It's good to die or not, Ruyi is at this time, dying in front of everyone, everyone may become the object of suspicion of the old emperor!

According to the suspicious character of the old emperor, everyone was in danger, for fear of being implicated.

"Your Majesty, the minister suspects that there is something wrong with what Ruyi ate yesterday."

"Yesterday? Flare-ups after a night? "Not only the old emperor has questions, but everyone here has questions.

In their conception, poison is immediate, who would attack overnight?

It is chronic, poisonous, and it is also a long-term accumulation process.

But it is not an easy task to let a person ingest chronic and poisonous drugs in the palace for a long time.

Moreover, Ruyi is just a palace maid, who will poison her for a long time and kill her?

All of a sudden, everyone thought a lot.
