Chapter 41: Into the Cold Palace
Singing and dancing, drumming and flute, the banquet is full of wine, and the staggered planning is staggered.
Suddenly, a eunuch ran in and knelt down in front of Li Jian and said loudly: "The emperor is not good, Concubine Mi has been poisoned!"
Li Jian and many of the guests present stopped their movements.
Li Jianlong's eyes froze, and he asked nervously, "How is Concubine Mi now?"
The eunuch lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, just now Concubine Mi suddenly fainted in the palace, and the imperial doctor showed it, saying that Concubine Mi Niangniang is a spiritual poison!"
"Spirit poison! How could Concubine Mi be poisoned!" Li Jian got up angrily, someone in his harem dared to poison his favorite concubine with spirit poison.
Concubine Mi was sent to the palace by an official in the court two years ago, and has been favored by Li Jian since she entered the palace. Li Jian spoiled Concubine Mi alone, and he hadn't pampered other concubines for two years.
There was once a concubine who was jealous of Concubine Mi's favor, and said a few words about Concubine Mi, and was beaten into the cold palace by Li Jian the next day.
"Master Li, please go with this king to show Concubine Mi!" Li Jian said to Li Liancao.
Li Jian drove to the harem, and Li Liancao and Deng Mi also went. Qian Fenglan was still at the banquet.
Qian Fenglan warmly entertained the guests as if nothing had happened, watching the singing and dancing. No one notices the slightest loneliness in the corners of their eyes.
Qian Fenglan smiled and drank a cup of spicy wine into her stomach, and the hot feeling was as if all her internal organs were burned.
Concubine Mi was favored, and almost all the women in the palace were left out in the cold, even her, the queen.
Everyone seemed to eat and drink without incident, but Mo Yunshan saw a trace of unusual taste, and his eyes were thoughtful.
With such an important banquet tonight, how could anyone pick this time to poison Li Jian's favorite concubine.
Mo Yunshan shook his head, no matter how complicated it was, it had nothing to do with him.
"What is Mr. Mo thinking?" asked Li Rong with interest.
"Mo Mou has nothing to think? The prince is too worried. Mo Yunshan said.
After a while, I saw Li Jian coming back in anger.
Everyone was shocked by Li Jian's breath, and they didn't know why Li Jian was so angry.
"Queen, I ask you, the poison in Concubine Mi was caused by you. Li Jian said to Qian Fenglan, who was sitting on it.
As soon as Li Jian's words came out, everyone was shocked, and Qian Fenglan's gorgeous face opened her mouth wide in shock.
Qian Fenglan hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged! The concubine and Concubine Mi have never had much contact, how could they poison her for no reason!"
Li Jian's eyes were full of anger, and a pair of heroic sword eyebrows were full of ruthlessness, and he said indifferently: "You still dare to quibble!
A eunuch and a maid were brought up by two guards.
As soon as they came up, they knelt down.
"I ask you how the queen poisoned Concubine Mi?" asked Li Jian coldly.
The eunuch and the palace maid trembled with fright at Li Jian's words.
The eunuch trembled and said: "Back to the emperor, the cold heart poison in the concubine is the queen mother asked the slave to go to the Wanling Pavilion to buy it today, the emperor does not believe that he can send someone to the Wanling Pavilion to buy it, at that time, many people saw the slave, it was the money shopkeeper who personally received the slave and handed the cold heart grass to the slave." ”
The palace maid also said: "Yes, your majesty, the slave and maid were also present when the queen sent Qian Gonggong, and later the queen mother instructed the slave and maid to make osmanthus cake, and the osmanthus cake was sent by the queen mother to Concubine Mi herself." ”
"You are lying. Who made you slander this palace like this?" Qian Fenglan stood up, her phoenix eyes looked at the two of them coldly angrily, eager to devour these two alive.
These two people have been with her for many years, she has always been very good to them, she has never treated them badly, she never thought that tonight they would slander her in front of so many people, and want to kill her.
"Queen, these two are your henchmen, and they both stood up to testify against you, what else do you have to say?" Li Jian looked at Qian Fenglan coldly and said.
"Your Majesty, they are slandering their concubines, and the concubines have never done anything to poison the concubines!" Qian Fenglan knelt down again and said hoarsely.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, in the eyes of outsiders, the poison in Concubine Mi was caused by her, and she has no way to refute it.
The only thing she could do was to put her hopes in Li Jian.
Li Jian is her husband and the only person she can trust.
When Li Jian was still the prince, he was framed for having an affair with a concubine in the harem, and it was she who firmly believed in him, and finally moved the first emperor. The first emperor did not blame Li Jian.
The two have been married for many years, no matter how many rumors, suspicions, and injuries they have experienced, and this time must be the same.
"Queen, I didn't expect you to poison Concubine Mi so viciously, someone came to take off the queen's phoenix robe for me, and beat the queen into the cold palace. As soon as Li Jian's words came out, the audience was shocked.
No one thought that Qian Fenglan, who was still a high queen at the beginning of the banquet, was actually taken off her phoenix robe at this moment and entered the cold palace.
After Qian Fenglan heard Li Jian's words, she was shocked like a thunderbolt, her face was like ashes, and her whole body strength was drained.
She suddenly didn't want to say anything, because it all didn't make sense anymore.
All she knew was that her sword brother didn't believe her anymore, and the man who had told him that he would never fail her personally ordered her to be sent to the cold palace.
"Niangniang, please!" a eunuch beside Li Jian said to Qian Fenglan in a shrill voice.
When Qian Fenglan walked by Li Jian's side, she stopped for a moment, looking at the resolute face of her former lover, as if she felt that he was a little strange.
Her bright eyes seemed to be full of tears, and her bright red lips opened slightly to say something, but in the end she could only be silent.
The man in front of her was no longer the boy who had come to her house early that morning and waited early.
After Qian Fenglan's incident, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little depressing.
After three rounds of drinking, the people gradually dispersed.
When Li Lianshi just wanted to leave, he was stopped by Li Liancao.
"Li Lianshi, when the master died, he clearly said to you and me that he would never forgive Xuanling Sect for the rest of his life, why did you say things against the master in front of so many people. Li Liancao said angrily.
Li Lianshi sneered: "Master Li Liancao has been dead for many years, what he said is only known to you and me, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know? Besides, the water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, now you and I have the opportunity to climb the high branch of the Xuanling Sect, so naturally we must grasp it well!"
"What happened to Master in Xuanling Sect back then, you don't know it, you say such things against your will, are you worthy of Master?" Li Liancao said.
"Then Master, was he worthy of me all those years? Even if I did something sorry for Master today, I still don't owe anything to each other. After Li Lianshi finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Li Liancao was in place, looking at the departing back in a daze. From nowhere, his brother began to indulge in power and wealth, and forgot all about his master's teachings.
