Chapter 427: Poisoned Wine
The Chenghui Hall where Concubine Yang lived.
Mother is more precious than son. Although Concubine Yang did not become the queen mother, her son became the emperor, and his status was not lower than that of the eldest grandson queen mother.
On this day, Concubine Yang ushered in another good thing, her eldest son Li Ke was about to marry again. Therefore, she specially called Li Su and told him about it.
It is said that Li Ke is not the first time to get married, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Li Su, as long as he reports it to the Queen Mother.
However, Li Ke likes his new favorite concubine very much, and he has to get her a side concubine to be a concubine. However, the positions of his two side concubines are full, and according to the system of the imperial court, they can no longer be named side concubines.
Li Su's existing wives, except for the queen, are all concubines, which is also inconsistent with the system of the imperial court, according to the regulations, the imperial concubines are up to four. Li Ke thought, you Li Ke can exceed the standard, then I Li Ke want more indicators, there is no problem.
What Li Ke didn't know was that in Li Su's family, everyone's status was equal, and the imperial concubine just screamed like that, in fact, Li Su didn't receive so much money, and Li Su paid for the subsidy himself, which was clearly recorded in the accounts of the inner government.
Li Ke wanted to add a side concubine's position, and this matter needed to be reported to Li Su, so he found Concubine Yang and asked Concubine Yang to tell Li Su.
Recently, Li Su has come to Concubine Yang Niangniang less often because she is busy, and the demon concubine Niangniang also wants to take the opportunity to have a meal with her youngest son, so she called him over.
Since he was in his own home, Li Ke's title was casual, and he said: "Second brother, I have a new crush on a woman, I like it very much, and I want to canonize her as a side concubine, please give her a review." ”
Li Su smiled and said: "For this little thing, you still have to tell your mother first, just look for me directly." ”
Li Su didn't want to break the rules, he meant that he would tell the inner government in private, and he would pay for the extra money.
Li Ke was very happy to see Li Su so happy, and said, "Then thank you." ”
Li Su smiled: "Your vision has always been quite high, what kind of woman did you fall in love with this time, and you were fascinated like this." ”
Li Ke said: "She is just a businessman's daughter, but her own conditions are very good, and I like it very much." ”
Li Su was very happy to see that Li Ke was able to change his mind and marry the daughter of a merchant as a dignified prince.
Li Ke was also very happy to see that Li Su's attitude was very good, so he called out the favorite concubine who had already been hiding in other rooms.
At first glance, Li Su was a slightly petite woman, but wearing high heels, she was a good match for Li Ke.
This woman is about 20 years old, and she looks really good, but she looks cold. She came over to salute Li Su, and her tone was also light and lacked enthusiasm.
It's really a turnip green, everyone has their own love, this type of woman, Li Ke doesn't like it, but it doesn't matter, as long as Li Ke likes it.
Li Su chatted with her casually, and the matter passed.
The banquet began, Concubine Yang, Li Su, Li Ke and the woman gathered around a round table, eating and talking, and several maids were waiting on the side.
With a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere also came up, and the woman suddenly became enthusiastic, took the wine jug from the maid's hand, and poured wine for them herself.
Li Su has been doing well recently, and his mood is also very high, and under the persuasion of Li Ke and his family, he drank a few glasses in a row.
Just as Li Ke was talking to Li Su, the woman seemed to be waiting to pour them wine, holding the wine jug, and putting her arm under the table while no one was paying attention.
She opened the lid of the flask, and with a flick of her little fingernail in her left hand, some white powder fell into the flask. She shook it slightly, resting her arms on the edge of the table, holding the flask and preparing to pour wine for Li Su.
At this time, Li Su had just finished drinking a glass, and the woman hurriedly poured it for Li Su.
Li Ke and Li Su clinked glasses, ready to drink.
At this time, Concubine Yang drank a few more glasses, she was overwhelmed, and when she saw that Li Ke and Brother Li Ke were drinking, she said, "You two drink slowly, I'll go rest first." As he spoke, he stood up.
Li Ke and Li Su put down their wine glasses and hurriedly stood up to see her off. When Li Su stood up, he moved a lot and pulled the tablecloth, and the glass of wine fell on the table at once.
Li Ke and Li Su's eyes were fixed on Concubine Yang, and they didn't notice that the snow-white tablecloth suddenly became dark.
When the woman saw it, she was afraid of being discovered, and while they were not looking, she poured a plate of vegetable soup on the table where the glass of wine had been spilled, and covered up the traces there.
Li Ke and Li Su sent Concubine Yang away, and Li Ke invited Li Su to continue drinking.
Li Su and Li Ke have an average relationship, and being able to come here to drink with him is to save face for Concubine Yang, but at this time he was no longer interested, so he said goodbye and left.
Li Su didn't know that he had just taken a turn from the ghost gate.
Looking at Li Su's back, the woman's eyes flashed with a vicious gaze.
This woman is the widow in black Shiratori Tomokako, who is the cold and glamorous beauty in the big world. She deliberately approached Li Ke in order to assassinate the Tang Emperor Li Su.
It is said that she is a widow, Li Ke should know that she is not a virgin anymore, how did she deceive her?
On the night when Li Ke got her, both of them drank a lot of wine, and then with the strength of the wine, she had a relationship with Li Ke.
Li Ke drank a lot of wine, squinted, and fell asleep directly after finishing his errands. Shiratori Tomokako took advantage of his deep sleep and sprinkled the chicken blood that had been prepared on the bed.
She tried her best to nug Li Ke, and finally found such an opportunity, but unfortunately failed.
She was very depressed - along with the time in Tiemen Town, this was the second time she had poisoned Li Su, but unfortunately it didn't work. She had to prepare to look for another opportunity.
Li Su left the Chenghui Palace, and when he saw that it was almost time to go to work, he went directly to the office of the Taiji Palace.
Li Ke and Bai Bird Zhixiangzi (now called Bai Yun) also left the Chenghui Palace, preparing to leave the palace and return to the Shu Palace.
On the way, Bai Yun said: "The emperor doesn't seem to be enthusiastic enough about you, and he left without drinking the wine." ”
Li Ke hurt his self-esteem a little, and said: "No, our brothers have always had a good relationship, so when we get married, I will invite him to drink the wedding wine." ”
Bai Yun said: "That's the best, he is the emperor after all, and it will be even more beautiful to be able to participate in our wedding." ”
Li Ke said: "Don't worry, it will be." ”
