It's another Hongmen feast......

In the first seven days of Concubine Shu, the Queen Mother ordered someone to arrange a major sacrifice, and the scene was not lost to the Midyear Festival.

Liu Zhong was deeply grateful for this, and also planned to murder Liu Li tonight according to the method of the Queen Mother.

A few days ago, Liu Zhong used various methods, but they did not succeed, but Liu Li was a little vigilant. So the Queen Mother directly gave Liu Zhong a dose of poison and a special wine jug.

The poison is a strange poison obtained from Xihai Mansion, colorless and tasteless, and the person who takes the poison will not have any reaction at that time, just wait to rest in his sleep. It will not be discovered, nor will it be suspected, but it will die in its sleep and be peaceful.

The flask is a secret of the royal court, and there are buttons on the handle that can be adjusted, either with or without medicine. Unlike other adjustable flasks, the whole body is similar to a regular flask, and its buttons are unnoticed, only the person holding it will be able to see it.

Liu Li didn't have a reason not to go, although he was busy with affairs, and he was still investigating the old case of the former emperor and the suspicious case of Concubine Shu.

In the distance, I could already hear the sound of clear music, which was a very familiar sound.

"This music seems to be ......"

"Your Majesty, it is said that the Queen Mother invited a musician from Xihai Mansion!"

Liu Li looked at Gao Hai and said no more. Gao Hai told a lot, for fear that Liu Li would be plotted again.

Liu Li and Gao Hai walked, and they really met people from Xihai Mansion on the way. In this regard, Liu Li was very surprised, why would Xihai Mansion do things for the royal family? The rivers and lakes and the government are really getting closer and closer!

Seeing a team of people from Xihai Mansion passing in front of him, Liu Li did not see He Yu like the letter from Yu Qixian. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

turned around and left, it was really He Yu.

I saw He Yu wearing the clothes of a musician in Xihai Mansion, happy and smart, but with a bit of girlish lively charm, and some gentle and elegant tunes of musicians.

"He Yu, are you really here?"

He Yu nodded, "Yu Gongzi told the emperor? Hey, this person is really!"

"It's okay, tell me what you're doing?"

He Yu was about to speak, but saw Qiu Di waiting for her not far away, so she hurriedly took out the contents of the bag and gave it to Liu Li.

"Let's not talk about it for now, but I'll explain it later. You drink with this glass, you look ordinary, but you can identify poisonous wine......"

Liu Li was stunned, "This?"

Gao Hai was direct and helped Liu Li take the things, "Thank you, girl, these things can be used!"

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

After He Yu walked away, Gao Hai handed the things to Liu Li. "Your Majesty, you quietly changed the utensils later. I think this thing can be used, and I have been finding some poisonous snakes and poisons lately, so we must guard against it!"

"Also, the people of Xihai Mansion appeared in the palace, this sacrifice is a little strange!" Liu Li sighed and put the thing in his sleeve.

Gao Hai was a little relieved, and walked forward with Liu Li, and began to think in his heart again: The emperor is unhappy again, can the goddess of Tianshan come down the mountain? The last time I prayed, I succeeded, can I give some more kindness this time?

"Unexpectedly, my harem life has started again!"

Gao Hai came back to his senses and comforted: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, it will always pass." You're a true man, you'll be fine!"

"I'm not worried about this, it's just that this government is unstable, when will the people be able to live a truly peaceful life?" Liu Li sighed a little, and then said to Gao Hai: "You go to Gonggong Liu first now, ask him some old things about the emperor, and I'll come later!"

"Yes!"

The priests set up the rituals, the mages practiced, and the sound of bells, incantations, and dancing swords was mixed with the sound of the wind.

Immediately, the musicians of Xihai Mansion played music, rendering the atmosphere of the sacrifice rich and sad, worthy of being the first female faction in the rivers and lakes. The sound of music, like a spell, scatters people's consciousness and charms, making the listener fall into a whirlpool and cannot extricate themselves.

Liu Li barely woke up, and took the opportunity to take out the cups and chopsticks in his sleeves and change them.

All the members of the royal family gathered here, and the noble sat and watched, and a simple black table was set up in front of them, and a pair of wine and tableware were used for drinking and eating.

For the first seven sacrifices, everyone must kowtow and burn incense before going to the spirit, and then the family of the deceased will give everyone the wine and noodles, and the wine must be drunk and the noodles must be eaten.

"Today is the first seven days of Concubine Shu, and everyone has not come out of grief, and the same is true for the mourning family. The truth is about to be found out, and I hope everyone will give the emperor more trust and tolerance. In order to invite the best mages and musicians, the mourning family has tried their best, and tonight they should not let people see a bad scene. ”

"Obey the words of the Queen Mother!"

"Okay, the mourning family will take the lead in kowtowing to Concubine Shu and burning incense!"

After the Queen Mother came down, Liu Li went up, but Liu Zhong did not react.

Liu Li respectfully saluted and burned incense, and then returned to his seat to watch the ceremony. After everyone finished the incense, Liu Zhong expressed his position, and then took the prepared wine and presented it to everyone one by one.

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's thoughtful concern for her mother's future affairs, please drink the wine!"

Liu Zhong poured wine and noodles for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took them one by one. It was time for Liu Li to be next, Liu Zhong stood in place for a while, gritted his teeth and walked in front of Liu Li.

Liu Li looked at the expression on Liu Zhong's face, and his heart was a little gloomy, it seemed that Liu Zhong was still doubting himself.

Liu Li is discovering more and more accurately how accurate his induction is. Especially the control of people's eyes, it is surprisingly accurate, maybe people's eyes can't hide what is inside.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Zhong walked up to Liu Li, "Thank you Emperor for your hard work in investigating the case, I hope the truth will be made public as soon as possible!"

Liu Li nodded and handed the cup to Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong took the cup, put the cup on the plate served by the waiter, poured the wine from the wine jug next to him into the cup, and brought another bowl of noodles and put it on the plate. The waiter presented the plate in his hand to the emperor, and Liu Li returned to Liu Zhong as a courtesy.

"The emperor uses it slowly!"

"Thank you, second brother!"

Beihua's etiquette is to eat on behalf of the deceased, so that she will not have a bad time there. As long as the people here sincerely eat the wine and pasta, the soul of the deceased will return satisfied, and will not be disturbed. If anyone doesn't finish eating, they will be haunted by the deceased.

Liu Li picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the inner wall of the cup was all blackened.

"Second brother, there is something wrong with this wine! Queen Mother, don't drink it!"

At this time, Liu Zhong had already poured wine for Concubine Xian. Hearing Liu Li's words, everyone was stunned, and Concubine Xian pinched the wine glass and didn't dare to move.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" The Queen Mother walked over with a wine glass in surprise.

Liu Zhong also walked up to Liu Li and glared angrily. "Third brother, don't go too far! I'm thinking about my mother's sake, so I didn't have any conflict with you, you are trying to make trouble on my mother's first seven?"

Liu Li shook his head and handed the cup to Liu Zhong. "Second brother, it's not that I don't believe you! In front of everyone's eyes, do you think I will wronged you?"

Liu Zhong looked at Liu Li's cup, shocked and angry, and turned to the Queen Mother for help. Before the Queen Mother came over, Concubine Xian rushed over excitedly, not at all as stupid and virtuous as usual.

"This wine is personally blended by the second prince, and it is impossible to poison it in any link. If the second prince has a clear conscience, then drink this wine!" Seeing He Yu's expression, Concubine Xian immediately understood and put all three glasses of wine in front of Liu Zhong. "Of the three glasses of wine you poured, you might drink them alone?"
