Jiang Runyan didn't want to kneel, Concubine Liu was just an ordinary concubine in the palace, when she entered the palace with her mother before, she even had to nod behind her, how could she want to salute her, Wei Xi was willing to recognize her as a mother, but she didn't want to.

Concubine Liu was a little embarrassed on her face, and hurriedly asked her subordinates to help Wei Ci up, and looked at the palace maid on the side, "Quick, pour tea for the prince and the princess." ”

Wei Xi glanced at Jiang Runyan, and only found a place far away from her to sit down. Jiang Runyan also looked at Wei Xi, and everyone in the palace was not blind, and instantly knew that the seven princes and their husbands were separated.

"Now that you are married, you should also have a son-in-law." Concubine Liu said this, Wei Xi smiled, picked up the teacup, "How is Concubine Liu's body today." Now that I am married and move out of the palace, it is not good to come to my mother often to say goodbye. ”

Concubine Liu was helpless in the palace, and when Wei Xi came to her palace, she naturally raised her wholeheartedly. Although he is not his biological mother and son, his relationship is not bad, seeing that he cares about himself so much, he smiled, "Now that he has opened the mansion and gone out, it is not easy to return to the palace, just complete the things that your father and emperor have told you, and it is good ......to hand me a letter when you are free."

Jiang Runyan drank a few sips of tea, only to feel that the palace that had been in and out of the palace was free to stay now, and it felt like sitting on pins and needles. looked at the gossiping two again, put down the cup, and stood up, "The air inside is a little stuffy, I'll go outside for a walk." After that, he didn't wait for Wei Ci to reply, and went out directly.

Wei Xi's face instantly turned cold, he had just been newly married, but Jiang Runyan was so domineering in front of Concubine Liu, he didn't leave him the slightest face.

Concubine Liu has been mixed in the palace for so many years, and when the two of them entered the door, they found that the couple did not deal with each other. instructed the maid to go down, and poured tea for Wei Ci herself, "The tea in the cup is cold-" After adding tea, he said, "Lord Jiang is the only daughter of the eldest princess, and her temperament has long been cultivated, if you want to live a peaceful life, you still need to tolerate one or two." ”

Wei Ci naturally knew what Concubine Liu meant, and now that his father was seriously ill, all the princes were staring at the dragon chair. The eldest princess holds the power of the army, and now it is naturally his greatest authority.

"Lord Jiang is just a little woman, if you have a temper, you can just endure it", Concubine Liu, as Wei Xi's adoptive mother, Jiang Runyan is naturally a little angry at her disrespect for her today, but in the end, she is now under the eaves. Emperor Wei is now old, and she has no way out as a palace concubine, so she can only count on Wei Ci, who treats her like her biological mother, and naturally hopes that he will be well.

Wei Ci's eyes sank slightly, and after a while, he only said to Concubine Liu, "Erchen knows." ”

If it was really an ordinary little daughter's house, how could he have a problem with Jiang Runyan. Jiang Runyan has always been proud, he knew that he originally planned to marry her and return to the mansion to provide for her well, after all, he was born in the royal family, he thought that she couldn't do anything except be too arrogant, but he didn't expect her to be so indecent.

Today is the queen's birthday, although Concubine Liu has something to say to Wei Ci, it is not good to delay the time at such a moment. After only talking for a while, he asked the palace maid who was waiting next to him to call Jiang Runyan back.

——

Emperor Wei's illness is getting worse and worse, and Emperor Dadi, like ordinary people, is helpless at this time.

Without Hua Tuo's living miracle doctor, Emperor Wei felt like an ordinary old man, watching his time pass little by little. He knew that there were courtiers eyeing him below, and his sons were grown, and they were roaring at him, but he could only curl up on the throne of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother has come to ask, will you go to the Qianqiu banquet for a while?" Wang Fu shook off the dust and came in from outside. Walking to Emperor Wei's side, the little eunuch who had been serving next to Emperor Wei spontaneously and consciously gave up his seat, "Yo, Your Majesty, this tea is cold, and the slave will change a hot cup for you." ”

Emperor Wei shook his head and got up from the chair with one hand, "Since it is the queen's Qianqiu banquet, I naturally want to go." The tea is cold, don't let the queen wait. Speaking of this, Emperor Wei's eyes emitted a bit of sharp light, after he was seriously ill, didn't the crown prince and queen jump the most?

The prince was afraid that he was already in a hurry.

——

Sheng Mingzhu took a sedan chair to the gate of the palace, and was invited to another palace by the palace people.

After all, all the princes and nobles who came here today, and the princes in the palace brought their wives and daughters to find their mothers and concubines, or talk to their brothers. The palace people took Sheng Mingzhu to a banquet hall to sit, and worshiped a lot of seasonal fruits on the table, "Miss Sheng, wait a minute, Niangniang will come over in a while." The situation here is good, and you can see the performers on stage. ”

The palace maid had a lovely complexion, and she was also close to her words, and after Sheng Mingzhu was ready, she took the silver bottle from the tray on the side, "This is ordered by the overseer, and it is easy to get drunk if you drink too much wine at the banquet." Let Miss use this-"

Sheng Mingzhu glanced at her, and the palace maid took the tray and bowed slightly, "The slave and maid are waiting on the side."

This is the water pavilion, and the stage is in the center. It is the queen's birthday banquet, the natural pomp is different, Sheng Mingzhu sits in the pavilion, and occasionally there are people from the royal family, and the princesses who are above the top and ignore people on weekdays actually show a kind smile when they see her at this moment. According to the rules, a county lord in Shengmingzhu District should salute when he saw this person, but he was stopped by the palace maid just now.

Halfway through the moonlight, the emperor and queen are late.

He said a lot of words, and then came the performance of the servants on the stage. Sheng Mingzhu was far away, and he could see the stage clearly, but he couldn't see the queen of Emperor Wei clearly, and he didn't know what the top said. Guan Ping was outside the seat of Emperor Wei, and he was very close, closer than the crown prince.

Sheng Mingzhu always felt as if she had forgotten something.

In my heart, I feel like someone is covered with a layer of white gauze, and I can see something faintly when I poke and poke, but when I want to try to see, it is always white. Just thinking about it, Emperor Wei didn't know what to say, the field was quiet for a while, and even the servants above didn't move, kneeling on the ground, and the ladies were all outside the water pavilion, she didn't know what was going on above, but vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a little tense.

"What's going on over there?" She asked.

The palace maid walked up to her silently, picked up the silver bottle that she had given her before, and brought the wine from the original palace to it, but in an instant, the silver bottle turned black. It is clear that Sheng Mingzhu is not familiar with medical science, and the silver bottle will appear black when it encounters highly poisonous things, and some people poison the queen's Qianqiu banquet.

Down on every table?

Sheng Mingzhu only felt ridiculous for a while, not to mention who had such great ability, this big courtyard was put on the table, and a glass of rice wine was poisoned, but it was the life of the entire Great Wei Imperial Court.

——

The queen's face on the field was already very ugly, she walked to Emperor Wei's side, bowed her head slightly, and saluted, "Your Majesty, there is actually a thief who has the courage to do such a thing on the birthday of the concubine, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the concubine will definitely investigate to the end." ”

Emperor Wei sat on the chair, and the queen saluted him, but he only turned around and instructed the guards on the side, "Spread my word, all people who go to the banquet today are waiting, and they are not allowed to leave the palace before tomorrow, and it is strictly forbidden to enter the palace gate until the palace guards have checked and investigated them one by one." ”

The guards next to him ordered him to retreat.

This was originally the queen's Qianqiu banquet, and it was also a banquet for the prince to take the opportunity to win over the courtiers, but now it seems to have become a Hongmen banquet. The crown prince knew that as soon as this incident came out, he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, which not only made his father angry, but also made the princes who came to the banquet today remember their own marks in their hearts.

Immediately moved his gaze to the side, Wei Xi.

After his father was seriously ill, he always didn't like himself, but he valued the seventh brother more and more, he didn't look at Wei Ci in his eyes before, but now the eldest princess and the woman have clearly stood behind Wei Ci, and Wei Ci's silence in the past ten years has only explained one truth, dogs that bite people don't bark.

"Father, the son is willing to assist in this matter."

Emperor Wei ignored the empress's desire to investigate the matter in detail, but nodded at Emperor Wei. The prince's eyes changed suddenly, and he was afraid that Emperor Wei would dislike him again, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

No one who enters the palace tonight is allowed to leave the palace, and Sheng Mingzhu is naturally among them. However, because of Guan Ping's different identity, she was treated differently, and when she arrived at a palace gate, the lights were on. Sheng Mingzhu pushed open the door, but saw that Guan Ping was already inside, wearing only a white middle coat, and was being served by the little eunuch to soak his feet, and closed the door again.

"Where are you going?" Guan Ping asked.

When Sheng Mingzhu turned around, those palace people were gone. Guan Ping has already come out of the house, "There are a lot of people who want to stay today, the palace room is nervous, and Miss Sheng San is wronged to live in a room with Guan Mou today." ”

It was dark, and there was no palace person to guide the way, and there was such a thing in the palace today, and people were panicked, she walked a few steps, and still retreated to the house. sat down on a chair near the window, and looked at Guan Ping again, "There is such a big thing today, are you still soaking your feet here?" ”

Suddenly remembered that at the beginning of today, the palace maid took a silver bottle to herself, and said those specious words, and walked to Guan Ping with her skirt, looking back and forth, and finally couldn't help asking, "How do you know that the wine ...... today?"

Before she could finish speaking, a woman's cry came from the front, and she put it down again and went to the window to watch. Just as the little eunuch who was serving Guan Ping just now brought another basin of footwater, Sheng Mingzhu asked, "What's going on outside, how can I hear someone crying?" ”

The little eunuch sorted out the foot towel and said, "It's the guards in the palace who are investigating the suspects tonight, and those grandmothers are searching the bodies of the nobles - those tortured grandmothers in the palace are not sophisticated, and the interrogation is not light, how can those delicate clan family members bear it." ”

Sheng Mingzhu heard the footsteps closer, and an unkind voice came out, "Who lives in this palace, I am ordered to search." ”

There was a woman's whimpering voice next to her, and Sheng Mingzhu cautiously shrank behind Guan Ping.
