Everyone knew that His Majesty was going to punish the prince.

A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of Empress Chen, Her Majesty naturally could no longer protect the prince, and the next thing was to punish the prince in public, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Father, slow down." Someone came to interrupt His Majesty's words.

For a while, everyone's eyes, including the emperor and queen, looked at the comer, and the crown princess came.

Han Jinxiu is wearing a dark blue cross-collared folded branch phoenix chrysanthemum embroidered through the sleeves, she has fair skin, outstanding appearance, elegant temperament, dark blue gown worn on her body makes her more elegant, and the pair of specially designed phoenix winged golden hairpins on her head make her have an excellent temperament.

Under the complicated gaze of everyone, Han Jinxiu stepped forward to greet the emperor and queen like a cloud, and as for the others, they had to greet Han Jinxiu, the crown princess. As the mistress of the East Palace, Han Jinxiu's status in the Great Zhou Kingdom was second only to the emperor and the crown prince.

After a salute, the prince who followed Han Jinxiu also arrived, and everyone saluted again.

Then it was lively, and the crown princess and the prince came.

Empress Chen is looking forward to the picture of the crown princess arguing with the prince in public, but she wants to see how Her Majesty will end it in order to be worthy of her birthday banquet?

After waiting for two days, Han Jinxiu has been holding the idea of coming to see the prince in his heart, and tonight's birthday banquet naturally cannot damage the prince's reputation.

Now she is standing leaning on the crown prince, this seems to be the first time the two of them have been so close, you can smell the smell of the decoction on his body when you close your eyes, so close, so that her heart keeps beating, even the hair on the back of her neck is a little trembling, the jade hand under the sleeve slowly loosened, she took a deep breath, and slowly spit out: "Today is the birthday banquet of the queen mother, the son is late, please punish the queen mother." ”

Empress Chen chuckled and said: "The crown princess can come to the birthday banquet of the palace, and it is too late for the palace to be happy, how can she be punished, and the courtesy will be waived quickly." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Han Jinxiu said flatteredly, and then calmly looked at An Mei and Anxin behind him, and the two of them immediately opened the box that they had been holding in their hands.

What caught everyone's eyes was a huge picture of longevity, only to hear Han Jinxiu explain: "A few days ago, the ministers went out of the palace without authorization and returned to the Zhenbei Palace, in order to write this picture of longevity with their mother, congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, wish the queen mother a long life and good health, and hope that the queen mother likes it." ”

The crown prince did not bring the crown princess to the birthday banquet of Empress Chen, which is the first sin; The thin red-clothed palace maid forced her to die to make her will, which is the second sin.

As soon as Han Jinxiu came, she easily resolved the prince's first crime, the princess was filial and sincere, and no one could find fault with her. The next step is to see how the prince explains his second sin to the crowd.

"Good, good, good, this palace likes it very much, come and reward the princess with a jade ruyi." Empress Chen said happily, her eyes full of smiles. Today's crown princess is afraid that she doesn't know what ridiculous things the prince has done, and the next show will be even more lively.

Now is not the time to speak, Han Jinxiu told herself in her heart that she had to refrain from speaking, and when the banquet was over, they would go back to the East Palace to talk slowly.

His Majesty glanced at Lin Botao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard not far away, and snorted: "You tell the crown princess, what a ridiculous thing the prince has just done?" ”

A moment later, Lin Botao told Han Jinxiu about the crying of the red-clothed palace maid at the banquet, and the body of the red-clothed palace maid had not been disposed of, and the bright red blood stained her eyes. She quickly glanced at the prince, only to see his hands behind his back, his face was calm, and he didn't seem to be affected by this matter, and others didn't know about it, but Han Jinxiu knew that the prince would never do such a ridiculous thing.

So, Han Jinxiu took the initiative to take two steps forward, gathered his thoughts in his eyes, and leaned over calmly: "Father, the minister still has some doubts about this matter, please ask my father for permission, and allow the son to ask the doctor from the hospital to cooperate with the son, and the son will definitely give an explanation to the father and the queen mother." ”

As soon as the words fell, the prince said softly: "Don't bother the crown princess, today's matter is over, and the son begs his father to punish him." "What questions are there, the palace maid in red accused him of being inferior to her, and committed suicide, and now that he is dead, there is no proof of his death, is it difficult to let the woman in red come back to life.

The noble lady not far from His Majesty stretched out her hand to hold the jade arm of the girl beside her, and lowered her voice: "Pianpin, you are not allowed to meddle in this matter!" The lady who spoke was His Majesty's sister-in-law, the eldest princess of Jinyang in the Great Zhou, and the girl beside her was Lin Pianpian, the only daughter of the eldest princess of Jinyang. Because of the favor of the emperor, he was canonized as the lord of Yonghe in the early years.

At this moment, the county lord of Yonghe pouted and leaned against the eldest princess of Jinyang: "Mother, look, the crown princess is so late, she is not ashamed to ask the imperial doctor for help, who does she think she is, she can investigate it with the daughter of a military general." "In front of his mother, he did not hide his dislike for the crown princess.

Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang snorted coldly: "You didn't take anything to heart about what I said to you when I came, if you don't want to marry into the royal family, you can just go and make trouble, don't come to beg me when the time comes!" "The daughter she gave birth to, naturally knows her personality, because of the early death of the county lord of Yonghe, she is quite guilty of her, and she is arrogant and pampered on weekdays, which makes her lawless.

Naturally wanting to marry into the royal family and marry the man on the tip of her heart, the county lord of Yonghe took a deep breath, quickly changed his face, and smiled all over his face: "Okay, mother, I will listen to you, come, mother, my daughter will serve you soup." As he spoke, he stretched out his jade hand, picked up the porcelain in the hand of Princess Jinyang and began to curry favor.

The eldest princess of Jinyang glanced at the county lord of Yonghe, and smiled helplessly, this child is still very young.

The eldest princess Zhou Yuanhua also stood up and echoed Han Jinxiu. In this way, it is difficult for His Majesty to agree or not, and then after His Majesty agrees, everyone's eyes involuntarily fall on Han Jinxiu alone.

Listening to her order, the two imperial doctors present at the Tai Hospital tonight, Imperial Doctor Li and Imperial Doctor Song, came to her side, ready to wait for her dispatch.

Han Jinxiu's words were shocking: "Please ask the two imperial doctors to go to the prince's banquet to take a look and check the prince's wine glass, please." ”

Checking the prince's wine glass, Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Song glanced at each other quickly, a trace of fear crossed their eyes, and in front of everyone's eyes, how could they refuse, so they naturally walked towards the prince's banquet. The prince's two bodyguards, Ah Jiu and Ah Yan, were standing on either side of the banquet, and it was difficult to ignore their presence.

At the same time, Han Jinxiu's gaze swept over the faces of His Majesty, Empress Chen, Concubine Yang De, Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Xu Hui, and Concubine Wang Li.

Suddenly, the fourth prince of the Zhan Dynasty, she looked over, the two looked at each other, it was obvious that Han Jinxiu saw the shock and surprise from the eyes of the Zhan King, and it was clear that he had written a letter to himself and asked her to stay in the Zhenbei Palace, why did she still attend Queen Chen's birthday banquet today.

From the moment Han Jinxiu appeared, King Zhan's eyes stayed on her, clenching the wine glass in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were protruding, what did she do? He had already calculated that he must not let her destroy it, this time it was a hard-won opportunity, how could it be easily wasted. But when Han Jinxiu ordered the two imperial doctors to check the prince's wine glass, King Zhan's heart tightened, and his eyes were cold.

The prince looked at Ah Yan and Ah Jiu quietly, signaling them not to act rashly. Regarding Han Jinxiu's actions tonight, he still had to wait and see what happened, and he waited with everyone for the results of the examination of the two imperial doctors with a calm face.

Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Song quickly checked out that the prince's wine glass was mixed with Hehuan San, and the two of them knelt on the ground with a plop, waiting for His Majesty to speak.

With a bang, His Majesty slapped the wine table heavily, his face was pale, and there was a touch of murder in his eyebrows.
