The banquet on the Antai Palace, as always, was luxurious and lively, the Queen Mother sighed the queen's filial piety, and because Shen Zhe sent the news that she had arrived safely at Qiangshui Pass, and everything was fine in Yunshang, she was more happy in her heart, compared to the sadness of parting at the Mid-Autumn Festival, now the Queen Mother showed her face, and everyone was naturally more happy.

Min'er sat aside, talking and laughing, and she didn't see anything unusual at all, but early this morning, she had arranged everything and was quietly waiting for them to fall into the net.

At the banquet, Wang Jieyu, who was under house arrest due to illness and was released not long ago, was avoided by everyone in disgust, and sat alone in the banquet in a particularly conspicuous manner.

In the past, although no one was willing to be close to her, it was not so, and because she gave birth to a prince, she could sit with Lin Zhaoyi and Sun Xiurong, but today, Lin Zhaoyi was obviously disgusted, and in front of everyone, before the emperor and queen came, she ordered someone to put Wang's seat in the back.

This scene, Qiu Zhenyu and Zhao, who had already arrived, saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't imagine that this weak and endurable woman could hide such a big secret and live in the palace for so many years without incident.

Qiu Zhenyu didn't know that the Zhao family took the risk to send news to the palace behind his back a few days ago, and was caught by his daughter.

But early this morning, Min'er had already sent the palace maid who had delivered the message last time to send the news to Haitang Palace again, saying that the Zhao family had asked her to meet in the apse of the Antai Hall during the Chongyang Night Banquet.

Although the Wang family may not go to the appointment, after all, these two people are afraid of being detected, since the Zhao family chose not to face each other head-on from the beginning, she will definitely try her best to avoid meeting the Wang family, so Min'er will help them and give them a chance to talk.

As for Wang Jieyu, since she knew that the people who threatened her were the prime minister and his wife, she would have to pay attention to them today, and then she found that they did look at her from time to time, but she didn't notice it at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after hearing the name of the negative man, she lost her temper and completely exposed herself to Prime Minister Qiu and his wife.

Halfway through the banquet, the emperor had no intention of singing and dancing on the stage, and several ministers were talking about important things with solemn faces, and even called Qiu Zhenyu to go, Zhao sat alone in the banquet, laughing with the wives of other ministers beside him, and inadvertently raised his head, Wang Jieyu was gone.

She frowned and looked around, the Wang family had long since disappeared, but the eldest prince was still playing with several children of the royal family, and was not taken away.

Min'er, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, took in Zhao's expression, she turned to the emperor again, and saw Qiu Zhenyu who was discussing state affairs.

The Queen Mother saw Min'er looking at that place, and said with a sneer: "The emperor just can't stop state affairs for a moment, and even your father is also affected, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so nourishing in this day, where would my son want to be a mother." ”

Min'er said with a smile: "This Double Ninth Festival, the emperor reminded the concubines to celebrate you." As he spoke, he glanced at Qingya, who understood and quickly left quietly.

Not long after, Zhao was curious why Wang Jieyu hadn't come back, but a palace maid brought a plate of dishes in front of her, and said quietly: "Madam, the queen asked you to meet in the apse." ”

Zhao was stunned, glanced at the head, and was surprised to see that the queen was looking at her, and smiled leisurely, very polite. Apparently telling her that it was indeed she who invited the Zhao family to meet in the apse.

"What does she want to see me for?" After the palace maid retreated, Zhao froze in place, she couldn't imagine what this little wanted to see her do in private, for more than a year, every time she entered the palace, she was treated as air by the queen, and never took her seriously.

But soon, the queen got up and left the table, and deliberately glanced at herself with a smile, this situation should be according to the agreement, waiting for her in the apse. Naturally, Min'er was here, but she just excused herself to the Queen Mother to touch up her makeup, and she got up and left just to show the Zhao family.

Zhao didn't dare to go to the appointment easily, but if he didn't go to the appointment, would the queen do anything further, if he stabbed in front of Qiu Zhenyu, she would be a wicked person and say nonsense first, and he couldn't explain it to her husband, he must feel that he was dragging him back.

"Madam, the mother is already waiting." Just as she was hesitating, the palace maid who had just delivered the food served a pot of wine coldly, and spread this sentence to Zhao's ears.

Zhao glanced at her husband who was discussing with the emperor, and thought of the third lady in the family who was eyeing the position of the main room, she turned her heart sideways, go and see, I don't know what is going on at all, I don't know what is going on at all, I met and listened to what the said, and then made plans.

If so, Zhao also left the table, saying that he went out to take a breath, and refused the company of his daughter-in-law and maids, so naturally as soon as she arrived outside the door, someone answered her and took her all the way to the quiet apse.

According to the agreement, the queen should have been waiting here, but in the dark palace, there was no figure of Qiu Min'er, Zhao was uneasy, looked around a few times, turned around and wanted to withdraw to find the palace maid who sent her, and suddenly saw a woman's figure standing in front of the door, she was backing the light, and could only see a blurred figure and face, Zhao's heart was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, and he took a few steps back and asked, "Who are you?" What about the Queen? ”

"The Queen?" The visitor was surprised, and she had been waiting in this room just now, and only then did she appear when she saw Zhao enter the door. "Mrs. Qiu, didn't you ask me to come here, you say, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao's mind was blank, but what she could be sure of was that the one standing in front of her was Wang Jieyu, who had just left the table and disappeared. What's going on? Who did you fall for?

She asked suspiciously, "Wang Jieyu, why are you here?" Who invited you? ”

"Isn't it you, Madame Qiu, it was you who asked me to come here to see you." Wang took a step closer, full of murderous aura, and changed to a person, although the light was weak, it also reflected the light of the cold forest on the hairpin.

The Zhao family quickly sorted out a few things in her mind, obviously she was calculated by the queen, and the Wang family was also calculated, no matter when the found out that she was related to the Begonia Palace, but now it is in her hands.

"Wang Jieyu, you go quickly, I didn't ask you out." Zhao stepped forward and pushed Wang Jieyu and said, "If you don't leave, the queen will have to do it." ”

Wang Jieyu was confused, and she waited here for a long time, and no one appeared, the only person was Zhao.

Zhao saw that Wang Jieyu was stunned and did not move, she didn't want to fall into the net, so she left this person and quickly left. Who knew that Wang pulled his sleeves and asked her gloomily: "How do you know Guo Gaoquan, is he still alive?" ”

The Zhao family wanted to break free, unwilling to be taken down by the queen, and those things couldn't be explained clearly for a while, so they wanted to suppress the Wang family in one sentence, and said coldly: "Wang Jieyu knows best what she has done, whether the eldest prince is surnamed Xiang or Guo, do you need me to say?" With this in mind, we have a chance to talk about it in the future. ”

Although there was no movement outside, the Zhao family was still in a hurry to leave, and when he saw that the Wang family was entangled, he pushed her away hard, not wanting to anger the Wang family because of this.

Zhao is a little old, Wang Jieyu is naturally more flexible than her, the person who was stimulated to the sore spot, the person who had already killed like numbness, dragged her hair bun back, Zhao felt that the world was spinning, and his body fell heavily to the ground, and before he could scream, the severe pain went into his neck.

"Do you want to threaten me for the rest of your life? Don't! Don't! Wang Jieyu inserted a sharp hairpin into Zhao's neck quickly and ruthlessly, and pulled it out without hesitation, blood gushed out from Zhao's throat, she avoided it in time, and did not splash too much blood.

In the dim light, watching the blood gurgling out, Zhao struggled a few times and then stopped moving.

The bloody breath came to her face, Wang Jieyu suddenly came back to her senses, and then remembered that the Zhao family mentioned the queen, could it be that there were already people guarding the queen outside the door? At this moment, Wang Jieyu realized that things might become more serious, she held the blood-stained hairpin tightly and walked out with a mortal heart.

But unexpectedly, the road outside the door was smooth, and she didn't even see half a ghost, and she left the Antai Hall smoothly.

On the Antai Palace, still singing and dancing, went out for a turn, and after Zhao left the table, Min'er came back, she couldn't see anything on her face, no one thought that there was a murder in the apse, and Qiu Zhenyu and the emperor discussed the matter and returned to the banquet, and they were also curious where his wife went.

"Mother said to go out and breathe, and didn't let us follow." The daughter-in-law replied like this, and the maids also shook their heads and didn't know, Qiu Zhenyu drank a glass of wine sullenly, and looked up to see that Wang Jieyu's seat was empty.

His heart tightened, realizing that his wife might be going to see Wang Jieyu, and secretly scolded the stupid woman in his heart, unconsciously, he raised his head to look at the queen, who knew that Min'er had been staring at him with this gaze, the father and daughter looked at each other, Min'er smiled meaningfully, with full contempt and provocation.

Qiu Zhenyu's face changed suddenly, he lowered his head and held the wine glass tightly, he realized that tonight would not end well, something big would happen, and he couldn't easily send someone to find his wife, and the singing and dancing after that became torture.

Finally, there was an irrelevant palace maid who found the Zhao family who died violently in the apse, and the screams came all the way, and the singing and dancing stopped abruptly.

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

Zhou Huai and the others had already gone out to check, and soon came back with an ugly face and said, "Your Majesty...... The lady of the Autumn Minister's family is dead. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, Qiu Zhenyu's eyes widened angrily, he turned to look up, as if facing the emperor, but in fact, his eyes fell on his daughter, Min'er smiled faintly at her.

Qiu Zhenyu's throat was so dry that he couldn't speak, how could this woman who was less than ten years old, his daughter who had been abandoned by him for many years, have a demonic momentum?
