At this time, Lin Yuan also ignored Yun Xiu at all. She looked at the little palace maid who spoke fixedly, then reached out and put the whole plate in front of her eyes, picked up the skewer and picked the golden delicacy into her mouth one by one, and soon ate it all. She looked up at Concubine Xiang and smiled brightly: "Niangniang is really generous, such precious melons and fruits are given to concubines...... Yes, it's so delicious! ”

Lin Yuan only took a cup of tea to eat mangoes, and Concubine Xiang wanted to stop it during the whole process, but she was afraid that others would say that she was stingy, so she finally watched Lin Yuan eat it all.

Concubine Xiang was already dumbfounded. Although she said that she wanted to reward Lin Yuan, she only meant to reward a few pieces, and she didn't think about giving her a plate. And for Lin Yuan, who accepted the reward, she should sit elegantly and wait for the palace maid to pick out a few and put them in her bowl instead of snatching them all...... Concubine Xiang held her forehead with her hand and looked at the empty plate in front of Lin Yuan unwillingly - you damn woman, you haven't eaten a single piece of this palace, and the emperor only has such a plate of mangoes for this palace!

Besides, she just mocked her for not being able to get a share of the mangoes, and her most reasonable reaction should not be to refuse to accept her "alms"! Bastard, bastard, Mango of Hongu!!!

Fortunately, after everyone came, the emperor ordered a banquet, and stretched out his hand to pull Concubine Xiang to sit on the upper table together. Concubine Xiang gave Lin Yuan a big win, and then served the emperor with her heart.

The silk and bamboo are melodious, the drums are crisp, and the beauties of the harem sit around the emperor's side, talking and laughing enthusiastically on one wall, and enjoying the delicacies on the other wall, which is a scene of singing and dancing. I have to say that Tuoba Hong is an emperor who is good at pleasure.

The favorite concubines frequently stepped forward to toast with the emperor, and did not forget to flatter the concubines. Shangguan Li was unhappy at first because of Lin Yuan's existence, but at this time, looking at the staggered chips in front of him, his face gradually became happy, and he couldn't stop laughing: "Shuyuan, you drink more!" Bai, isn't it your turn to be poetic, but you are not allowed to play tricks...... Shuji, you quickly make a pair and kill them......"

Because it is her own territory, this woman who has always been presumptuous is becoming more and more unruly at this time, laughing loudly and regardless of decency.

Zhao Shuyuan was forced to pour two cups by her, her face was red, and she smiled and begged for mercy. Bai Xiuwei has always been afraid of her, and the poems she made did not meet her wishes, so she had to punish herself. Chu Huashang was very well-behaved, and after drinking two glasses, he said that he would not continue, saying that he was afraid of losing his manners. Concubine Xiang frowned and blamed her for being boring, but fortunately she didn't force her again. In addition to them, even the emperor on the throne was not lightly irritated by Concubine Xiang.

Enjoying good wine and food, Lin Yuan and several concubines were very satisfied, and Concubine Xiang was also very easy to get along with at some times.

Concubine Xiang has always been extravagant, a small banquet does not give up for a hundred taels of silver, all kinds of delicacies and seafood are served on the table like water, and Lin Yuan's disgust for Concubine Xiang is one or two points less. At this time, the palace people came up with a soup and said, "Concubine Xiang Niangniang serves the emperor with snow clam and jade shoot soup——"

The emperor stroked his palms and smiled: "Sure enough, there will be no snow clams in the Yueyue Tower." ”

Concubine Xiang also smiled, and a palace maid on the side had already taken a pair of small bowls of white agate wrapped in silk and held a spoonful each, and served them to the emperor and Concubine Xiang. Snow clam is a valuable ingredient produced in Changbai Mountain, and the palace rules are strict, and some dishes of concubines below the concubine rank cannot be enjoyed, so this snow clam soup is only the share of Concubine Xiang and the emperor.

Several concubines watched the emperor and Concubine Xiang smiling together, and then saw the snow clams and white jade-like bamboo shoots that had been boiled to a golden color floating in the soup, and they were envious in their hearts but could only sit dry.

The emperor took the lead in holding the golden spoon and ate a spoonful, praising its deliciousness, and Concubine Xiang also picked up a small bowl to eat. At this time, a serving palace maid standing beside Concubine Xiang suddenly said "ahhhhh......h

Concubine Xiang's face changed when she heard this, and the spoon in her hand was immediately put down. Then her face showed anger, and she said with a horizontal eyebrow: "How does this small kitchen do things, knowing that today is to serve the emperor's meal, the soup presented is actually ......"

"Well, don't be angry." The emperor knew that Concubine Xiang felt that she had lost the face of the host in front of many concubines because of her imperfect diet, so he comforted her: "It's just a slight flaw, your taste has become more and more bad after you are pregnant, and the soup does not suit your appetite, but it is okay for me." The cook who cooked made Li'er dissatisfied, and he degraded it, and tomorrow I will reward you with a few good skills. ”

Concubine Xiang pursed her lips and stopped thinking.

Tuoba Hong continued to drink the snow clam soup, and said with a smile after a while: "This soup is delicious enough, Li'er can't eat it, it's a pity to waste it." As he spoke, he glanced at a few concubines, and saw that Bai Xiuwei was staring at the soup in her hand with straight eyes and expectation, so she smiled and said, "Give Concubine Xiang's share of the reward to Rong Ji." ”

Before Concubine Xiang could speak, the personal palace maid next to Bai Xiuwei was brought to her master, Bai Xiuwei looked happy, and thanked her and ate it. She came from a prominent background and didn't value food, but she understood that this simple meal was actually a status symbol. Snow clams are so valuable, if she can't be promoted to the concubine position, she won't be able to eat them in her life...... The emperor can reward himself, although it is disliked by Concubine Xiang, it is better than others not being able to get it.

Concubine Xiang didn't look at her, and reached out to grab a piece of deer tail and feed it into the emperor's mouth.

At this time, there was a sudden "bang", Bai Xiuwei collapsed on the table, and the bowl containing the snow clam soup had broken to the ground.

Bright red, warm liquid trickled down the corners of her lips.

All four were shocked. The emperor drank and sent a message to the imperial doctor, and someone pointed to the large red blood stains on Bai Xiuwei's tooth-colored clothes and said in horror: "The blood is black, it is poisoning......

The imperial doctor came quickly, because today happened to be the day to ask for peace and order, and there were usually several imperial doctors in the Huayang Palace, which was closest to the Linzhi Palace, to consult Wei Zhaoyi, who was in a coma in bed, and rushed over after hearing the news. The person at the head was Imperial Physician Li, followed by two medical officers, Feng and Du, and that Medical Officer Feng often asked Lin Yuan for peace and security.

Lin Yuan didn't pay special attention to this Feng Medical Officer. Although she understands that the imperial doctor in the palace is a very delicate and important connection, because she has a weak power in the palace, she has not been able to win over a useful one so far. And Medical Officer Feng never said a word to Lin Yuan, and every time the report after the pulse diagnosis was clichés such as "the little master is slightly weak" and "looking at tranquility and recuperation", specifically where there is a disease and how to maintain it, and other key words, Medical Officer Feng will never mention it.

Lin Yuan was very favored when he entered the palace, and he knew that someone who couldn't get along with him would put pressure on Medical Officer Feng, and Medical Officer Feng's behavior was normal. But fortunately, in addition to not fulfilling his responsibilities to her, the rest of the methods such as pricking needles, poisoning and fumigating drugs were useless, so Lin Yuan didn't bother to care.

At this time, Bai Xiuwei, who had already fainted, was carried into the side hall, and several imperial doctors hurried over, Lin Yuan and the concubines were all frightened, and shrank silently. The emperor didn't follow in to take a look, but just ordered to make every effort to treat it, and ordered Yao Fusheng to lead people to test for poison in the meal.

Bai Xiuwei collapsed while holding a bowl of snow clam soup, and as expected, when a small inner supervisor probed the silver needle into the soup that was spilled on the ground, a layer of black rust quickly stained the silver needle. Looking at the unfinished snow clam soup in the red gold amphora in the center of the dining table, there was nothing unusual about the silver needles, and the same was true of the bowl that the emperor was taking. It can be seen that only the bowl in Bai Xiuwei's hand is poison.

Everyone present could see it clearly. The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes swept over the concubines present one by one, and everyone shrank even more.

The atmosphere in the room was very cold, and Lin Yuan and the others understood why the emperor didn't order everyone to return to the palace at such a chaotic moment, and no one dared to say anything about retirement.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at Concubine Xiang - at this time, Concubine Xiang was sitting close to the emperor with her eyes closed, her palms on her lower abdomen, and she didn't say a word. And directly behind her stood a palace maid, this palace maid was the one who stopped Concubine Fang when she was about to take the snow clam soup on the grounds that the soup was too greasy, and Concubine Xiang also obeyed her words and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks......

If I remember correctly, this palace maid's name is Rui'er, she is only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is a second-class palace maid next to Concubine Xiang, and she is not a decent scenery or a person who attracts attention...... But in the brigade that accompanied Concubine Xiang wherever she went, there would always be her; When Concubine Xiang eats, she will always stand by and do some rough work...... At this time, Rui'er was standing behind Concubine Xiang who was closest to her fanning her, and although Mu Shuang, another personal palace maid with a face, was standing, the distance was not as close as Rui'er......

Lin Yuan lowered her head, not daring to look any further.

After a while, Imperial Physician Li came out, his expression was very frightened, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the little lord is ......."

"What's wrong? Is his life in danger? When the emperor said this, his face was only a little angry, but he did not see much worry. Obviously, whether Bai Yongji's life can be saved is not a very important issue.

But Imperial Doctor Li was still trembling: "The little master Rong Ji has taken a large amount of arsenic, and whether he can save his life can only depend on the will of God." Moreover...... The little lord has been pregnant for a month, and the fetus has just been aborted......"

The emperor slapped his palm on the dining table.

A room full of concubines and palace maids all knelt down. Concubine Xiang also knelt down with her waist, stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's palm, and said with tears: "In the past, there were many disagreements between the concubines and Sister Bai, but now it seems that the concubines are wrong...... The bowl of snow clam soup was originally intended for the concubines, but Sister Bai was asked to drink it. This time, it was Sister Bai who was helping the concubine to prevent the disaster, and the concubine was sorry for her......"

The emperor saw her crying and protecting her right hand tightly on her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but feel a lot of pity in his heart, and stretched out his hand to help her up: "Those arsenic are for you, I will naturally give you justice, and also give Bai a justice." You don't have to blame yourself so much, it's not your fault. ”
