On Holy Birthday Day, firecrackers are fired in unison, and the whole world celebrates.

Gu Qingyi packed up early, and sent Xiao Tuanzi and Xiao Douzi to Wu'an Hou Mansion with Mrs. Zhou, Xiao Tuanzi knew that the mother concubine was going to enter the palace today to celebrate the birthday of the imperial grandfather, and she also wanted to follow, just because the endless flow of toys was sent from the palace to the Qin Palace, she knew that this was specially given to her by the imperial grandfather, and she also wanted to follow in to see the imperial grandfather at this time.

The child has filial piety, and she shouldn't have stopped it, but today she didn't say anything directly, she didn't refuse directly, but pointed to the little bean in the cradle, "Did you forget to promise your father something?" You have to help the mother concubine take a good look at your younger brother, if you are brought into the palace, only the younger brother is left, how can the mother concubine rest assured? ”

Xiao Tuanzi is very conscious of being a sister, after Gu Qingyi moved out of King Qin and Xiaodouzi, she was persuaded, plus the old lady loved her, and after going to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, she was treated thoughtfully by the subordinates, and after Gu Qingyi and Mrs. Zhou left, she didn't cry and pester, which can be regarded as a relief.

The road was full of carriages of civil and military officials, but the carriage with the plaque of the Qin Wangfu had just appeared, and it was immediately given up and passed all the way, which made the rest of the people blocking the road envious.

The emperor's birthday banquet is set in the Qingtai Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs come and go lively, there are already many officials at the table, talking in twos and threes, Gu Qingyi's position is in the front, just on the edge of the throne, the concubine who is in charge of the palace has arrived in advance, and the palace people are in full swing, and Shao Huiwan is standing next to her, looking at Gu Qingyi with a good look, looking quite expectant.

Shao Huiwan and King Qi were already married, and Gu Qingyi was pregnant with a child at the time, so she didn't show up, but just asked the doorman to go on her behalf. At the beginning, because of the canonization of the crown prince, there was a gap between King Qi and King Qin's mansion, and Shao Huiwan gradually broke off her pity, and she used to use her as an excuse that she was not free from the cabinet, but now that she has become Princess Qi, she can be the master of the house, and she has not re-established contact with her, so it is worth explaining.

Gu Qingyi couldn't guess Shao Huiwan's thoughts, and didn't know what she was looking forward to, so she just nodded at her, and didn't mean to talk in the past. Unexpectedly, she walked towards her instead, suggesting that she walked to a secluded corner, looked left and right, and made sure that no one was able to whisper, "Qingyi, be vigilant at the banquet later, don't make a mistake." ”

These words were vague, if Gu Qingyi didn't know what she meant, Shao Huiwan was clearly reminding her.

Gu Qingyi was stunned and looked at her complicatedly, "Why do you want to remind me?" ”

She also knew? Shao Huiwan first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became helpless, she smiled bitterly, "You and I have different positions, but I still regard you as a friend in my heart, and I am not afraid to tell you, a few days ago, the waste prince found our prince, and I don't know what he said, about what kind of rebellious words, scared our prince directly sick, even the mother didn't dare to say, but I said a few words of nonsense during the illness and I heard it, I knew that today's birthday banquet was not peaceful, and I wanted to remind you." ”

At this critical juncture, no one dares to have anything to do with the abolished prince, Shao Huiwan is so frank, which shows that she has great trust in Gu Qingyi, but she broke off contact on the bright side, thinking that she was not having a good time in the Qiwang Mansion, and she didn't want to be left behind.

Gu Qingyi couldn't help but sigh, and didn't know what to say for a while, "I know, you yourself have to be vigilant and try to get closer to the emperor." ”

The emperor already knew the plan to abolish the crown prince, and the defense around him was definitely the strictest and safest. Shao Huiwan didn't know much, but it didn't prevent her from believing Gu Qingyi, nodding again and again, Gu Qingyi looked at her like this, thought about it, and finally mentioned, "The Huns were defeated, and the princess Hu Yanhua will be escorted back to Beijing as a prisoner of war, so you should pay attention." ”

What to pay attention to? Naturally, it is important not to let King Qi, who is still in love, hook up with Hu Yanhua again.

Shao Huiwan's face changed slightly, "I know, thank you for the reminder." ”

The two of them have been away for a while, they don't dare to stay longer, they left one after the other, and when Gu Qingyi went back to Qingtai Palace, Shao Huiwan had already stood beside Concubine Shu to serve again, and even King Qi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, appeared at the banquet, looking like he couldn't give up.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that there is definitely not only one King Qi who does not belong to the gods at the banquet, although many people are talking, but there is a faint look of anxiety between their eyebrows and eyes, and in the seemingly harmonious banquet, there is no smoke of gunpowder faintly, and the undercurrent is surging.

The seats at the banquet were full, Emperor Zhaoming was late, everyone left their seats and knelt down to greet them, and when they returned to their seats, many people's faces changed and they were out of proportion.

As mentioned earlier, Emperor Zhaoming has not been to the court for a long time, and even if he summons the minister, he is also a bachelor of the cabinet, so most of the civil and military officials have not seen him for a long time, and because the emperor has been claiming that he is recuperating from his illness, everyone thinks that he is very sick, and they think that they will see a sick emperor today, but as a result, although the emperor's face is a little pale, it is definitely not related to illness.

What the hell is going on?

Many people muttered in their hearts, but the waste prince reacted immediately - they were tricked! The poison on the emperor's body has long been resolved! This birthday banquet may also be a ploy!

But it was too late, they had reached this point, and there was no way back.

Emperor Zhaoming sat on the high dragon chair, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, he looked vaguely at a corner of the hall, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, but his face did not show it at all, and laughed, "I was seriously ill a while ago, and I asked you to remember it, just on the day of my fiftieth birthday, I will celebrate with you, don't be restrained, come, I will give you a cup." ”

He stood up with a wine glass and drank it all, how could the hundred officials under the seat dare to let the emperor toast, and they all stood up and drank the wine from the dry wine glass, and patted the horse's ass together, "Your Majesty's dragon body is Kangtai, and longevity is boundless, which is the blessing of the ministers." ”

Emperor Zhaoming was very happy, drank a few glasses of wine, and named the names of several old ministers, recounted the feelings of the monarch and ministers to each other, when it came to difficulties, he would burst into tears, and the hundred officials present were moved.

Gu Qingyi sat quietly on the table, and did not move the wine and diet on the table, even if the emperor toasted, she covered it with long sleeves, poured the wine into the cuffs, and did not drink it, not to blame her for being cautious, with the poisonous nature of the abolished prince, it was a big mistake to be careful.

It is precisely because of her vigilance that she sees six ways and listens to all directions, especially paying attention to the ministers named by the emperor, and finds that their demeanor is a little wrong, and there is tension and anxiety in their eyes, so she has a guess that these people are probably the prince's people, and the emperor deliberately mentioned the old things about the monarch and the minister, in order to build momentum for the future.

While pondering, suddenly the sound of a broken cup suddenly sounded, Gu Qingyi was startled, and hurriedly looked for a sound, but there were more people than her, almost half of the officials stood up suddenly, looking at the emperor on the seat in horror, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Emperor Zhaoming narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you Aiqing?" I just accidentally broke the cup, how did you react so much? ”

yes, it's weird, it's shocking, like something is going to happen.

Just thinking like this, Gu Qingyi saw a flash of cold light, and it was actually a little eunuch beside Emperor Zhaoming, who pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at the emperor viciously!

"Father, be careful!"

Gu Qingyi's heart was so anxious that she hurriedly picked up the saucer on the table and threw it at the assassin, but the guard's movements were even faster than her, and she restrained the little eunuch before the dagger was close to the emperor, and with the sound of the saucer falling and shattering, a crisis disappeared invisibly.

However, Emperor Zhaoming seemed to be frightened, holding his chest and breathing rapidly, it didn't look very good, and everyone under the seat was suddenly in a hurry, shouting Your Majesty, and asking people to declare the imperial doctor, but all their movements were stopped, and it was no one else who stopped them, it was the group of people who stood up after hearing the sound of the quilt breaking.

Things have come to this point, even the dullest people can find out that something is wrong, this is ...... This is someone trying to force the palace! Throwing a wine glass is the signal to start!

Who could this person be?

Everyone invariably looked at King Qi, the abolished prince and the king of Qin were not there, Concubine Shu was in charge of the palace, and King Qi took this opportunity to rebel, which also made sense.

Concubine Shu was already so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and King Qi turned even pale, broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted, "It's not me! Father, it's not me! It's the big brother, it's the big brother who wants to force the palace! ”

The Abolished Prince?

A burst of laughter sounded in the extreme silence, and a man in a eunuch uniform walked out, his eyes smug and swept, and finally landed on Emperor Zhaoming's body, "Yes, it's this palace!" Father, you guessed it, but what's the use of you being on guard? What's the use of getting rid of old poisons? If you don't want to die, you will obediently pass on the throne to the palace, and be a prince in peace, and the palace can give you an antidote and let you enjoy your old age in peace. ”

"Son! Son! Emperor Zhaoming's face turned red with anger, he seemed to be extremely disappointed, he didn't want to look at him anymore, his eyes skimmed over the prince's accomplices, and asked, "Do you really want to rebel against this evil obstacle regardless of the feelings of the monarch and ministers for many years?" ”

Some people avoided their eyes and didn't dare to look at him, but some people said, "Weichen will always remember Your Majesty's kindness, but the crown prince is the eldest son of the righteous son, Your Majesty should not listen to slander and abolish the prince, and should re-establish the crown prince and abdicate to make the virtuous." ”

Emperor Zhaoming's eyes became colder and colder, and finally he put down the hand on his chest, stood up in the shocked gaze of the abolished prince and others, and sneered, "Okay, since you want to establish another prince, then I will give you a prince." He paused, and opened his mouth in the expectant and smug gaze of the abolished prince, "My second son, King Qin, is born of the deputy queen, with noble blood, great military achievements, and deep support of the people. ”

When the words fell, the hall was shocked.
