"Mother." Yu Qin came in from outside the hall, wrapped in a cool body, she leaned over to the charcoal cage, and while roasting her hands, she returned to Xie Hui.

"Chief Yun and Concubine Xian are the front and back feet, I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang offered a bowl of lotus seed soup for His Majesty."

"Lotus seed soup ......" repeated Yu Qin's words, Xie Cheng poured a glass of warm water and got up and handed it to her, "She has a mind."

"Isn't it? The Third Highness wanted to beat the Feng family upside down, so as to get rid of the Feng family, and the bowl of lotus seed soup of the virtuous concubine Niangniang turned her head and splashed the dirty water back."

After blessing his body, Yu Qin took the water handed over by Xie Cheng and continued, "It was the little county lords of the Third Highness's Mansion who fell ill, and then the little emperor's grandson......

"The Third Highness is well prepared, and he deliberately pulled someone from his own mansion, wanting to say that it was sent by His Highness, but I didn't know that people could also bite back."

"The lives of the people and the children are in the hands of the master, and it's not what the master says, so what has to be? In fact, speaking of which, the strategists of the palace of His Highness and the Third Highness can be described as half a catty and eight taels."

Speaking of this, Yu Qin stopped and took a sip of water, "After this incident, I am afraid that both His Highness and the Third Highness will have to hate the Cloud Leader even more."

couldn't win them over, and they sabotaged their plans again and again, how could they not hate?

Xie Ji couldn't help frowning slightly.

"This matter, we should have done it, but he took the lead and took everything over." Yunlan made a military order in front of Emperor Mingde, and Xie Ji knew about it.

Although he knew in his heart that since he was good friends with Xun Yue, it was definitely not a problem to ask Xun Yue to ask Dr. Xun to treat the children.

But no one can guarantee that things won't happen.

It is still too risky to make a military order in front of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Xie Ji shook his head, "If you have a chance later, let's talk to him."

"Now that the dog eats the dog between the eldest and the third, there will be no result, and after this experience, the sacrifice and the palace banquet can be carried out smoothly." She spoke, looking at Yuqin.

"Don't worry, our arrangements have been made a long time ago, just waiting for Chinese New Year's Eve." Yu Qin immediately understood what she meant and replied to her.

"I don't know how those two children will spend this year's Chinese New Year's Eve?" Xie Ji nodded, thinking of Xie Yangui and Zhou Jin, she couldn't help but sigh.

——

As Xie Cheng expected, dog-eat-dog really didn't lead to anything.

The children are slowly recovering.

So on Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, the third prince Zhou Yu performed a sacrifice in place of Emperor Mingde, and in the evening, a palace banquet was held in the palace.

In previous years, Xie Hui, the noble concubine, was in charge, but this year's situation is special, so the palace banquet was handed over to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.

Although these two had various thoughts hidden in their hearts when they were running the palace banquet, after all, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, which was only once a year, and they did not dare to be sloppy.

"Your Majesty, you will reward the virtuous concubines and concubines well in the future, and you will know that you have put a lot of thought into them at a glance."

Although Xie Ji is a noble concubine, she has been sitting next to Emperor Mingde at the palace banquet for many years.

Especially now, everyone knows that she is pregnant.

At this moment, she pointed to the dish in front of her and talked to Emperor Mingde with a smile.

"That's true," Emperor Mingde nodded and looked at Xie Wei with concern, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you will work harder, if you are tired, go to the palace next to you to rest for a while."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Cheng agreed gently, and raised her eyes to look at the location of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.

I don't know if it's because I feel something in my heart or something else, the two of them are also looking at Xie Xie.

Xie Ji smiled at them.

It was clear that there was nothing, but for some reason, at the same time, a sense of crisis appeared in the hearts of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.

The two women, who had never dealt with each other, subconsciously glanced at each other.

Xie Hui, who was sitting next to Emperor Mingde, retracted his gaze and glanced at Yu Qin.

In the midst of singing and dancing, Yuqin knelt beside Xie Cheng and picked up chopsticks

She cloth vegetables.

Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

"Your Majesty, this dish you have at hand is your concubine's favorite, I want to taste it." After eating a few bites, Xie Ji pointed to the dishes in front of Emperor Mingde and said with a smile.

Since she was "pregnant", her appetite has not been very good, and Emperor Mingde is very worried about this.

Now that she hears that there are her favorite dishes on the table, where will she be stingy? Immediately picked it up with his own hands and put it in front of Xie Hui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The smile on her face deepened, and she once again looked at the place where Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu were, and then picked up the dishes on her plate and sent them to her mouth.

At this moment, the two women who had been secretly watching Xie Ji had been secretly watching, and the sense of crisis in their hearts rose to the peak.

As the song and dance came to an end, a scream suddenly came from the hall.

"! What's wrong with you, mother?"

The voice attracted the eyes of the people in the hall, Emperor Mingde looked at Xie Hui, and saw that the person who was still smiling at him just now was holding his stomach with his hands at the moment, and his face was pale......

He hurriedly got up and came to Xie Ji's side, but he smelled blood.

"Blood! The mother is red!" Yuqin screamed again.

"Your Majesty......" Xie Ji leaned on Emperor Mingde's arms, her eyes filled with tears, and her body trembled slightly.

Although it was discussed with Yu Qin, her voice just now still startled Xie Hui, so that she had to use trembling to cover up those anomalies that were not noticed.

"Vegetable ...... Dishes are poisonous, you ...... Don't eat it!" After saying that, the blood sac that she had already held in her mouth burst and slipped down the corner of her mouth.

Emperor Mingde was taken aback and looked at the dish he had just brought to Xie Xie......

I didn't notice it just now, but I realized that it was indeed Xie Xie's favorite food, but it was only available on his table.

Thinking of this, he looked at the location of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu with tears in his eyes.

"Doctor! Tell the Imperial Doctor!" Yu Qin, who was beside Xie Hui, continued to scream.

"There are assassins! Hurry up!" Peng Hai, who understood the meaning of Emperor Mingde, shouted.

For a while, the hall became more and more lively, and Emperor Mingde picked up Xie Ji and left the palace under the escort of the internal guards.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu glanced at each other, thinking of the look in Xie Ji's eyes and the gaze of Emperor Mingde just now, their faces suddenly turned pale.

With the current situation, it must be too late to return to Qifeng Palace, Emperor Mingde placed Xie Ji in the side hall, and the imperial doctors poured in.

Blood soaked the mattress under Xie Hui's body, and the side hall was filled with a disgusting bloody smell.

Emperor Mingde sat on the chair, as if he couldn't smell it at all, and on the table beside him was the dish he had served to Xie Xie, and the imperial doctor was testing for poison.

"Your Majesty, this dish ...... It's really poisonous." A moment later, the Imperial Physician held the blackened silver in his hand and replied to Emperor Mingde.

"Your Majesty forgives me, all the dishes have been personally inspected by the old slave......" Peng Hai hurriedly knelt down, and the imperial doctor hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, I really don't blame Mr. Peng for this matter, the poison fell on the tableware, and it couldn't be detected at first, but it won't be long before the poison on the tableware will seep into the dishes, so ...... That's why the concubine is poisoned."
