On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Huan Chuan and his wife entered the palace to participate in the Lantern Festival palace banquet.

Just like during the Chinese New Year, the emperor greeted Huan Yi and ignored Huan Chuan.

The queen mother was thoughtful in everything, and because Bai Xian was pregnant, she specially prepared soup for her to have a safe pregnancy.

"Crown princess, this is a safe drink specially prepared for you by this palace." The queen said, "You can't drink wine, you can't drink tea, drink this tonight, taste it, can it suit your appetite?" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Bai Xianyan picked up the fetal drink, and when she wanted to drink it, she smelled the unique taste of arsenic.

Arsenic is colorless and odorless, but when heated, it will give off a spoiled garlic smell.

Just smelling that made her feel very uncomfortable.

She immediately put the bowl down.

"What's wrong? Don't like it? The queen asked.

Bai Xianyan was silent for a moment, stood up and said, "Queen Mother, this is not a fetal drink, this is an arsenic drink!" There's a lot of arsenic in it! ”

The queen's face changed drastically: "What! Arsenic? ”

The emperor frowned and said, "You're not mistaken, are you?" All the food that enters the temple has been tested with silver needles, how can there be arsenic? ”

Bai Xianyan said: "Arsenic will emit a peculiar smell when it is hot, and my daughter-in-law can smell it. ”

Emperor: "Call the Imperial Doctor!" ”

When the doctor came, he first took a silver needle to test it, sniffed it again, and said, "This fetal drink does have a lot of arsenic added to it!" If Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess really drank it, the gods would be unable to save it! ”

The Emperor frowned and looked at the Empress.

The queen was so frightened that she hurriedly left her seat, knelt down with a pale face and explained: "Your Majesty! It was the concubine who specially ordered the princess to prepare a fetal drink, not to mention that I knew that the princess was proficient in medical skills, how could I add saffron to it? Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

Emperor: "Liu Kuang." ”

Liu Kuang: "Your Majesty? ”

"Check it out! See what's going on! ”

Liu Kuang: "Yes! ”

Liu Kuang went to check, Bai Xianyan didn't dare to eat a bite all night, and Huan Chuan's face was as cold as ice.

About his aura was too strong, affecting the audience, and the whole dinner was relatively depressing.

Near the end, Liu Kuang came in to report: "Your Majesty, I found it." ”

Emperor: "Bring it up!" ”

It was a woman who was brought up.

Bai Xianyan knew this woman.

She is a big maid in the room of King Liang, and she is his confidant, named Yanran.

In the last life, when Bai Xianyan was imprisoned in the Liang Palace, she came to persuade Bai Xianyan to obey the Liang King.

"Are you from the Liang Palace?" The emperor was also familiar with her.

"Impossible!" King Liang stood up suddenly, "Father, she is my personal maid Yanran!" How could it be her? ”

"It's her right." Liu Kuang said, "When the palace maid who delivered the soup passed by, she smelled a kind of smoke for the palace maid, and the palace maid was so dizzy that she thought she was sick." She volunteered to help the palace maid bring the soup! ”

King Liang: "It's up! She didn't have to be the one she brought over! Maybe the soup is poisonous! ”

Liu Kuang: "His Royal Highness King Liang, she has admitted it herself!" ”

Huan Yi: "...... Yanran, you say, did they wronged you? Have you been beaten into a trick? ”

The maid named Yanran laughed miserably and said, "His Royal Highness King Liang! It's my arsenic! My brother was killed by the White Crane! I'm going to avenge me and my brother! Your Majesty, the Queen, this matter is done by me alone, and has nothing to do with anyone else! ”

After saying that, she suddenly vomited blood from her mouth and collapsed.

The Imperial Doctor rushed over and found that she had swallowed the poison and was dead.

The Emperor asked, "Who is her brother?" ”

Huan Yi coughed and said, "Yanran's surname is Wei, her brother's name is Wei Li." It was originally the military guard of the Liang Palace. ”

Emperor: "Then how could her brother die at the hands of Bai Hou?" ”

Huan Yi: "This, you have to ask Bai Hou!" I sent him to Yuzhou on an errand, and somehow, Bai Hou arrested him and killed him! ”

The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "That's it! She's dead, get her out! It's fine,"
