Chapter 105: Reversal
Liu Zhong involuntarily stepped back and looked at the Queen Mother nervously.
The Queen Mother pretended to be frightened and snatched Liu Zhong's wine jug. "Second prince, you have disappointed the mourning family too much!"
Liu Zhong wanted to take it, but the Queen Mother didn't give it, and when the two were entangled, the Queen Mother said to Liu Zhong: "At this moment, I will pretend to be a ghost!"
"Okay, you slut!" Liu Zhong pointed at the Queen Mother and scolded, "What did you do back then to separate me from my son? Today, I am the first seventh, and you still want to join forces with the emperor to harm me! Are you so vicious, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?"
"Second brother!"
Hearing Liu Li's voice, Liu Zhong turned to look at Liu Li and said viciously: "Okay, you emperor! For many years, I have not seen my son in the deep palace, all thanks to you! Today, you don't drink wine and eat noodles, how can I be reincarnated as a human being? Do you want me to be a daughter of a poor family in the next life without enough food and drink?"
When everyone saw this, it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, but they talked about it for a while.
The emperor was stunned, "Second brother, are you really possessed by an unjust soul?"
Liu Zhong pretended to be a fierce demon and glared at Liu Li fiercely. "You, you, make trouble with my first seven, I'll take you away!"
"Your Majesty, be careful!" He Yu and Concubine Xian said almost at the same time.
Liu Li looked at the two of them, and quickly turned sideways to dodge Liu Zhong's attack, "Second brother, calm down!"
"Your Majesty!" the Queen Mother yelled, stopped the fight between the two, and called a team of people over. "Since the second prince is possessed by an unjust spirit, let's take him to rest!
"Wait!" the concubine walked to the center and glanced at the high priest. "Since there is a soul attached to the body, how can it be child's play? In order to protect the safety of everyone and the prince, I also ask the high priest to expel him!"
The high priest nodded, and quickly walked over, wanting to cast a spell to suck out the unjust soul in Liu Zhong's body, but only made Liu Zhong faint in pain.
"High Priest, how?"
"Back to the emperor, the second prince did not have a dead soul attached to his body, and there are no unjust souls here!"
Liu Li was startled and looked at Liu Zhong on the ground blankly. "Come on, carry the second prince back to the dormitory!"
Seeing this, the Queen Mother asked with concern, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"The sacrifice continues!"
"Your Majesty, tonight's events are clearly coming at you, don't stay here!" Concubine Xian said, took out the silver hairpin from the departure room and handed it to the emperor. "If you don't believe it, try poison. It's in the drink, and it should be in the noodle soup. After eating such a big bowl of noodles, who can resist that poison?"
Liu Li looked at Concubine Xian suspiciously, "What's wrong with you today?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Concubine Xian seems to have the guidance of a master, and it is amazing to look like she knows everything!"
Concubine Xian was not taboo, and said bluntly: "The wine is poisonous, and the noodle soup will naturally be there, this is a good opportunity to get rid of people!"
"Your Majesty, then you might as well test it!" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian coldly, and thought: I actually left a scourge in the palace, but they are all ordinary people. Besides, how can I spill such a precious medicine in the noodle soup? Besides, how can that rare medicine be tempted with a silver hairpin?
Liu Li glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw that her eyes were deep and bottomless, and couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, since the deceased is the greatest, and I have to be sympathetic to the pain of the deceased mother, I will not pursue this matter, I hope I am wrong!"
After that, Liu Li ignored Concubine Xian's obstruction and directly spilled the wine on the ground. "Concubine Jingshu, I wish you all the best!"
Concubine Xian didn't know where she got the courage, as if she was being guided, she took the silver hairpin and leaned into the soup bowl.
When Liu Li found out, he saw Concubine Xian muttering to herself with a blackened silver hairpin.
"This?" The Queen Mother took a step forward and took off the silver hairpin on her head with suspicion, and got the same result. "Could it be...... The mourners don't believe it. Come on, bring all the noodle bowls!"
The Queen Mother took many people's hairpins and tried them in the noodle bowl, and all of them were black, even the bowl in front of her.
"Presumptuous, who is having bad intentions in the sacrifice?"
The queen mother's angry eyes looked at everyone in the audience, all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, and only the father-in-law of the foreman replied: "Back to the queen mother, all the sacrificial supplies were prepared by the second prince alone, and no one touched his hands." ”
"Really, don't you need a human hand to cook these noodles?"
"The second prince said that he would do his filial piety, and he would do it all himself!"
The Queen Mother was silent, and she didn't come up with a countermeasure for a long time, so she had to drive to the second prince's bedroom.
"The sacrifice can be over, and the soul of Concubine Shu is not here anyway. Today's affairs are not allowed to be publicized, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! At this time, everyone who is concerned about this matter will go with the mourning family to see the second prince!"
After everyone left, only a few palace people were left to clean up the mess, and no one dared to discuss the matter.
He Yu looked at the scene, took the opportunity to dip his handkerchief in the wine on the ground, and then hurriedly returned to the musician's team.
"Musicians, today's performance is very successful, the Queen Mother will reward you with gold and pearls, please go and receive them!"
Everyone followed her father-in-law, and Qiu Di pulled the reluctant He Yu to walk at the back.
In the middle of the night at the palace, there is some strange floral fragrance, like the mixed smell of begonias and moon seasons. Tonight's night is beautiful, without any desolation, but it gives birth to a pale yellow moonlight, with a slight aesthetic tone.
He Yu kept sniffing with a handkerchief, but he always doubted his sense of smell.
Seeing this, Qiu Di couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have such a look?"
He Yu handed the handkerchief to Qiu Di and whispered in surprise: "You smell, the poison in this wine seems to have come from Xihai Mansion! I wonder if there is something wrong with the sense of smell, do you think?"
"You've always been very sensitive to drugs, why do you ask me? I don't know anything about this!"
Qiu Di returned the handkerchief to He Yu and advised: "This is the Imperial Palace, not Xihai Mansion, you should be cautious in your words and deeds! If you offend anyone, you may face many dangers!"
"Qiu Di, how did you say that the main hall suddenly accepted Beihua's invitation? How could she be willing to let you and me come to Beihua to show your face? Isn't she worried that the talents who have been selected for many years will be poached by the Queen Mother?"
Qiu Di smiled but did not speak, pulling He Yu to quickly follow the team.
"I don't know why the main hall has a good relationship with Beihua, but... Aren't you here to deliver something? Supposedly, it's easier to poach you. There is no shortage of musicians in Beihua, but there is a shortage of medicine girls like you, and you are about to catch up with the king of medicine!"
He Yu smiled with satisfaction, "Where? I'm still far away, but, but the main hall asked me to deliver something... Like, it seems to be medicine. Maybe it's because I'm a doctor, so I'm here to deliver something, right?"
"Medicine, are you sending medicine?" Qiu Di looked at He Yu in horror, "You... Isn't the medicine you sent ......?"
The two of them shifted their gaze to He Yu's handkerchief at the same time, and they were immediately terrified.
"I'm glad nothing happened today, otherwise... Otherwise, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
"Hey, you gave medicine and wine utensils, but I don't think you're self-defeating!"
He Yu thought for a while and nodded, "If the main hall really has a handover with Beihua, I will make this matter yellow again, and it will cause chaos for others." Then no one will spare me, right?"
"But you don't know! The main hall is packed in a wooden box like that, I thought it was an heirloom treasure! Who knows, it turned out to be an aider and a torturer! You are saving people, which is completely in line with your identity!"
After He Yu heard this, his mood improved a lot. "You're right, I don't regret it, what's so uncomfortable about saving the person I care about the most?"
The high priest woke up the second prince, and then retreated, turning into blue water in a no-man's corner. Everything just now was done by Lan Shui, and this time he can be regarded as blocking a catastrophe for Liu Li.
"This Beihua Palace is really chaotic, fortunately there are a few simple-minded people who can control it! The death of this concubine is also man-made, I hope Liu Li can survive this catastrophe!"
Liu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, and the Queen Mother sat in front of him, and the two made eye contact for a long time. After a long time, the Queen Mother quietly took out a note from her sleeve, only to see that it was written: And.
