"The courtiers punished themselves with a cup."

Seeing the queen's gentle face and secretly settling her mind, An Xi walked up the steps and groped for the antidote pill that was always around her in her sleeve.

This antidote pill was sent by Yu Yi'an a few days ago, saying that it was put on his body to be prepared.

I didn't expect it to be ready for use so soon.

Just as An Xi leaned over and picked up his long skirt and stepped on the first step, he suddenly felt a gaze with an unkind gaze projecting on him.

Quietly looked around at a few palace people with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes standing behind the phoenix chair, and secretly locked on the target.

I saw a young eunuch wearing a eunuch's court dress who was not very old and served behind the queen's mother, with clear eyebrows and beautiful facial features.

It seems that this is the legendary "always reliable" manager Li, I didn't expect to be so young.

"Oops..."

An Xi pretended to be embarrassed and looked around - when she arrived in front of the emperor, she found that she had no wine or glass in her hand, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

There were bursts of ridicule from the young ladies in the distance, but An Xi turned a deaf ear and just looked at the queen.

The distress in the eyes is clearly visible.

"Good boy, you're still young, you're late, you don't have to drink to apologize, otherwise... It's as if we're adults targeting you little girl. ”

It was none other than Concubine Mei who was still gentle with her just now.

Thinking about it, I was afraid that An Xi would affect her plan, so it was inevitable that she would be a little anxious, and it stands to reason that the harem woman who maintains this gentle and intellectual character should not say such a slightly snarky thing on an occasion like a palace banquet that is too easy to attract attention.

Seeing that Concubine Mei suddenly closed her mouth, it seemed that she also realized that her remarks were a little inappropriate, and lowered her head and glanced in the direction of the emperor without a trace.

Anxi suddenly felt a little funny, this IQ? This emotional intelligence? Do you really want to do such a big thing as murdering the queen?

"What Concubine Mei said is that although Anxi is young, she can't lose face to the Prime Minister's Mansion in this public."

first ridiculed Concubine Mei for getting older but still pretending to be tender, then warned Concubine Mei to be cautious in her words and deeds in front of the public, and finally emphasized that the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her was so good that she killed three birds with one stone.

Is this eldest lady of Anfu really as sloppy and domineering as she behaves?

The inquiring gaze on the dragon chair pierced deeply into Prime Minister An Cheng, who was sitting upright and staring ahead.

The queen didn't seem to care so much, and raised the teacup on her table, "The county lord is sensible, and the palace is very pleased, but what Concubine Mei said is not unreasonable, it's better to just... Tea instead of bars. ”

An Xi hurriedly bent down to take the teacup handed by the queen mother, and by the way, gave the queen a grateful look, pretending not to see the high-temperature gaze coming from the dragon chair.

The aura of the superior is really different.

An Xi felt a trace of cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

"Congratulations to the courtiers, I wish the emperor and queen the good health of the Holy Communion." With that, he raised the golden teacup and drank it all.

Not surprisingly, I saw Concubine Mei not far away secretly pinching the corner of the table, her knuckles were white, and she looked at An Xi unwillingly.

An Xi's action of stuffing the pill into the teacup was already very hidden, but it couldn't escape Yu Yi'an's sight glued to An Xi's body at all times.

Concubine Mei's eyes were unwilling but not worried, and An Xi guessed that it was because the poison in the tea could only play its due role if it was equipped with the poison in the beads worn by the queen mother. If taken alone, it is not so toxic.

In the eyes of the queen's admiration and expectation, he returned to the first place in the first row of young women, An Xi nodded lightly and gestured to the queen.

Looking at the seat on the right that should have belonged to the ladies of the General's Mansion, some bad memories swept through An Xi's mind.

Squinting his eyes, it was a response to Yu Yi'an's worried gaze, and An Xi lowered his head and concentrated on dealing with the delicate and expensive dishes on his table.

The golden chopsticks in his hand paused slightly, and An Xi raised his head.

Wrong... She suddenly realized that this was very wrong...

Why did the old lady deliberately take her for such a long journey, but she used the excuse that she was uncomfortable?

And Concubine Mei and another woman just happened to stand behind the nearest stone to her, whispering about murdering the queen without hesitation?

The level set up by the queen mother, I'm afraid it's not just the vermilion skirt.

An Xi looked at the empress mother, who was talking to the emperor with her head sideways, and unsurprisingly saw an expensive string of wooden beads on the latter's wrist.

Descending dragon wood, can detoxify all kinds of poisons.

Ming Peili was proficient in medicine and poison, and the two of them had gossiped about this rare wood, which could not be bought for a tael in ten thousand taels of gold.

The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he raised the teacup as if no one was taking a sip, and suddenly there was a lot of boredom in his heart.

Why do royal people always like to tempt and tempt, as if they can't live without scheming and temptation?

What's even more angry is that Yu Yi'an's mother didn't test her position, what is this? Daughter-in-law interview? The Seventh Prince's wife selection interview?

What An Xi didn't know was that what she was afraid of was that the queen mother had this position.

The queen tested her so openly, which means that Yu Yi'an has already married her in front of the royal family.

Think about Zheng Xian, who has not yet been found, think about the complicated etiquette in the royal family, the dark intrigue, and An Xi's irritability for no reason.

Isn't the queen the best example of this? It is rumored that the emperor and empress have been together for twenty-five years, and the emperor does not need to take concubines for the sake of the court for the sake of his heirs, but also needs his wife to face the filthy things of these favorite concubines.

She didn't want to be like this, she didn't want to be involved in such court life.

Maybe...... If Yu Yi'an is willing to give up for her.....

Looking at the Seventh Prince who was staring at him affectionately on the other side, An Xi shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Yu Yi'an's ambition, she knows that she is sincere in her refusal to trust Yu Yi'an from beginning to end.

What's the use of liking him only for himself?

Even ordinary people maintain the relationship between husband and wife not only by pure feelings, not to mention Yu Yi'an and themselves, who each has their own desires in their hearts.

One wants power, the other wants freedom.

Let alone... My own embarrassing identity .... What right do you have to talk about anything else in front of Yu Yi'an?

Yu Yi'an, who was pushing the cup and changing the lamp with the second prince, noticed that the gaze that had been glued to him suddenly shifted away, and glanced at the seat of the female family opposite.

"Seventh brother? Seventh brother? ”

Yu Yi'an came back to his senses in the call of the second prince, "Second brother, please." ”

After saying that, he raised his wine glass and drank it all, as if he was making amends for his wandering.

didn't notice that the second prince was staring at An Xi with interest, his eyes were full of playfulness.
