The palace maid's words caused an uproar in the audience, and this palace banquet was really not peaceful. Everyone put on a shocked face, with a hint of schadenfreude.

King Qi squinted his eyes and didn't speak, so the queen lowered her face and scolded: "Where have you learned the rules that you usually teach, and you can't even say a word clearly!" ”

The little palace maid fell to her knees and kowtowed to the queen again and again: "The queen forgives her sins, the maid is really frightened, when has such a thing happened in the palace......"

The queen pondered for a moment, then turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty, the incident happened at the door of the queen mother's bedroom, and it stands to reason that the queen mother should be asked by the way who did it, but the queen mother has been reluctant to see outsiders for many years, this matter ...... Otherwise, call that person to ask......"

King Qi also frowned, although he had been on a constant expedition and killed countless people during his reign, he still felt very unlucky that such a thing happened at his own birthday banquet. Thinking of what the queen said, King Qi was even more unhappy, but the matter had come to this point, there was no other way, he couldn't die in the palace, but he, the king of Qi, was helpless.

"Call him!"

King Qi spoke, and the eunuchs who were waiting for orders at any time in front of the palace gate left in a hurry.

Chu Ning frowned slightly, she didn't notice who was in the Queen Mother's bedroom just now, that courtyard was obviously sealed by a spell, and all the people and things in it seemed to be asleep.

The eunuch went for a long time, and the king of Qi was already impatient enough to return with a person. The eunuch hurried and kept turning around to urge, but the man behind him was unhurried, looking very curious about everything, and when he saw the pattern on the pillar, he also stopped to look at it and touch it.

As soon as the man stepped into the Infinity Hall, the guests showed a meaningful expression. The man looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his lips were as bright red as Danko, but his face was fairer than that of a woman with makeup, and there was a cynical smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Compared to him, even Mrs. Da and Xiao Wei were overshadowed.

Such a charming face, but with a bright red and green clothes, from a distance, the clothes look like a colorful parrot.

The parrot boy walked to the middle of the main hall, did not kneel down and salute, but said to the king of Qi on the main seat: "The king hastily sent someone to call me, is he going to invite me to drink a cup of birthday wine?" "One sentence is charming and full of ideas.

Chu Ning heard from the discussions of others, this parrot boy is a close minister next to the Queen Mother, not a eunuch, and lives in the Queen Mother's bedroom on the mission of taking care of flowers and beasts. Those self-proclaimed officials and nobles, when they talked about this young man, their faces were full of contempt but their eyes were shining.

"Jing Yuanyi," King Qi said with a strong anger, "How is the queen mother doing lately?" As soon as he saw this "parrot", he couldn't help but be angry, the queen mother raised such a nondescript thing in the palace, he, the king of Qi, really felt ashamed, but it was his biological mother, he couldn't do it.

There were a few times when he wanted to deduct a crime and send away this eye-catching "parrot", but as soon as he talked about the queen mother, her old man cried and grabbed the ground, saying that she didn't agree to anything. came and went, and now even his own son can't see the face of the queen mother, and he can only give the gift of filial piety to this "parrot" to bring over during the New Year's holidays.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother has been doing well lately," Jing Yuan replied with a smile, "It's just that her old man is a little worried about the kind of ice lake water that came from the north last time, and said that it tastes good, and there are also Wen rays, a few of them died before, and the remaining colors are not bright, and I want to change a few when I have time." Ah, yes, and ......"

"That's it!" King Qi felt a pain in his brain when he heard his demonic voice, "The widow asked you, who has been near the queen mother's bedroom today?" ”

"Yes," Jing Yuanyi replied crisply, "Aunt Nianchun, who is beside the queen, came from the front of the door. ”

King Qi waved his hand and motioned for the queen to continue questioning, and Mrs. Xiaowei stepped forward courteously, stood behind King Qi, and helped him rub his swollen forehead.

"Nian Chun is dead, and the body was found at the door of the queen mother's bedchamber," the queen continued, "and I called you to ask if there were any other suspicious people who had been there." ”

Jing Yuan thought for a moment, and his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over Chu Ning: "I don't know this, I saw Aunt Nianchun passing by, or because I came out to fetch the young shoots on the tree for the Queen Mother to boil water to drink, and then I have been talking with the Queen Mother, I am very busy, how can I always stare at the door when I have time." ”

The queen's face was serious, and her nails were lightly buttoned on the wine bottle: "In this case, the person who is the most suspicious is you, the queen mother's bedroom has always been remote and quiet, and few people pass by." Why did Nianchun offend you, you want to kill her? ”

Jing Yuanyi made an exaggerated expression of surprise: "If you die at my door, I killed it, is the queen's conclusion a little hasty?" ”

He rolled his eyes, and said: "I think of another thing, the queen mother has been raising the whirling turtle today, it is gone, could it be that someone stole the whirling turtle and was broken by Aunt Nianchun, so it killed people, right?" The people who came to the birthday banquet are still there, so if you search for who the tortoise is, won't it be clear? ”

His eyes fluttered across Chu Ning's face like he could fly. Chu Ning lowered his head, looking like he didn't care about himself.
