Chapter 343: The Empress is gone

It was also what she said that Father-in-law Xu took the initiative to show favor and took the initiative to help organize the birthday banquet.

The change of the chief manager of the inner court is not big, but it is not small, it is not said that it will be changed, Ye Shuhua is just that Father-in-law Zhang provoked Father-in-law Xu.

Father-in-law Xu is treacherous and cunning, just exposing his pretending to be sick will not let him cooperate with her willingly.

And after being punished for being exposed and pretending to be sick, he will hold a grudge and secretly stumble.

The queen's birthday banquet is complicated, and even if Ye Shuhua has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to take care of everything.

If you want him to be willing and help yourself without complaint, only when he realizes that his position is not guaranteed, he can open up and continue to use him.

Father-in-law Xu also did his best, and he took into account Ye Shuhua's cumbersome banquet specifications and etiquette.

Ye Shuhua is a Chinese, and she doesn't understand the etiquette of Li.

In the next few days, she was much more leisurely, but it was also to prevent Father-in-law Xu from having any more moths, and she didn't understand and participated in everything.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the queen's birthday banquet.

The red carpet in the banquet hall is spread to the door, and the red veils on both sides are hung on the pillars, and the golden tassels are hanging from the curtains.

The desk is also a golden silk nanmu desk with a unified gold line stroke and carved pattern, with a low-key and luxurious layout, festive and not too public.

The food and drinks on the table are all according to the specifications, exquisite and beautiful.

After a while, the guests were seated.

Ye Shuhua stood at the back of the hall, seeing that the arrangement was in place, the rest was to welcome the guests, and then the dishes and drinks were served in turn.

The queen is still in the Hundred Flowers Palace, waiting for Ye Shuhua to invite someone.

She is the birthday star, and she is the last to appear.

The queen's face was not safe, and on the side was Mama Zhou, who had been tortured by Ye Shuhua for a few days.

The people have lost a lot of weight, and there are abrasions on their necks and arms.

It's not that Ye Shuhua tortured her, but that she was wrapped in a quilt full of insects for three whole days.

When I came back, I rubbed my whole body hard, and then I broke the skin.

That's it, he always felt like he was scratching all over his body, and there were bugs crawling on her.

The queen hated Ye Shuhua for being scheming, and she also hated Mama Zhou for being ineffective.

It's not a trivial thing to do.

Now that the birthday banquet is so good, Ye Shuhua will definitely be more appreciated by the emperor.

Even with the Li Zheng, it is even more liked by the emperor!

Her Shuo'er can only be a foil again.

At this time, the queen's eyes flashed, as if she thought of something.

She pulled out a packet of white powder from her cuff, which contained only poison that showed signs of poisoning.

However, after 12 hours, it will automatically disappear in the body and will not be life-threatening.

This was given to her by the man.

"You go and find a way to put this package of medicine into the wine that the palace drinks, remember, you must let Ye Shuhua personally select the wine for the palace, and then quietly go in."

Hearing this, Mama Zhou was worried and said, "The queen is too risky, if this medicine is really -"

"This palace has its own measure! Go ahead and do it! ”

On the other side, Ye Shuhua determined the order of the dishes and finalized the drinks.

It stands to reason that the drinks are uniform.

But the queen sent someone to spread the word, and the queen had a cold stomach recently, so she wanted to drink mild wine.

Gonggong Xu picked out a few mild wines for Ye Shuhua to choose from.

Ye Shuhua looked at the few in front of him, pointed to the warm fruit wine on the side and said, "Just it, remember to be warm." ”

Gonggong Xu received the order and went to prepare.

Ye Shuhua personally went to invite the queen and waited for the queen to sit down.

The drinks are served.

When Gonggong Xu prepared the queen's fruit wine, he asked Ji Cui to follow the whole process, and when he was ready, he let Ji Cui take it.

Ye Shuhua took Ji Cui's tray again and poured the wine to the queen.

It stands to reason that this is Mama Zhou's job, but the palace insists on letting her fall.

Although Ye Shuhua felt strange, she did not refuse.

When you're done, return to your seat.

The emperor is in excellent health today, and he also came to the birthday banquet, and he raised a glass to celebrate the queen at the moment.

The scene was joyful and joyful.

The queen also smiled and drank the wine.

Ye Shuhua looked at the queen, asked Ji Cui again, and made sure that the wine and food served on the table were non-toxic.

He nodded reassuringly.

In the palace, naturally no one will have the intention of harming the queen or other ministers.

But someone must have tried to frame her, and she was doubly prepared just in case.

Just check it again before serving.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was in high spirits, and suddenly the queen covered her heart and fell on the table.

Ye Shuhua raised her eyes and saw that the queen was like this, and she hurriedly stepped forward to check her pulse.

But strangely, everything is normal.

Li Zhen also hurried over, looking worried.

He was worried about Ye Shuhua.

Li Shuo rushed over and called his mother, and the emperor was also shocked, and immediately shouted the imperial doctor.

Doctor Liu was the closest, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

But I couldn't see anything wrong, and then I pricked my finger and found that the blood was black.

"The queen is poisoned!" Saying that, Imperial Physician Liu sniffed the dishes and wine on the table one by one, and finally locked on the poison in the wine!

Not long after, the grandfather of the inner court who was called Xu Gonggong knelt on the ground in fright when he heard that the queen had an accident, and said: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know anything!" This wine was specially selected by the second imperial concubine for the queen, and it was picked up and sent by the maidservant of the second imperial concubine throughout the process! The servant gave the wine to Miss Jicui and never touched it again! ”

Ye Shuhua twisted her eyebrows and wondered secretly, is this a bureau set up by the queen?

If it was really the queen who wanted to make herself feel bad, she would really risk her life.

If this is the case, then the queen will definitely be fine in the end, but she will definitely be involved.

"Your Majesty, Hua'er will never harm the queen, someone must be in the way! Erchen asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly! ”

Li Zhen reacted the fastest, and asked for it at the moment.

The ministers in the audience also talked about it, but they didn't dare to express their position obviously.

After all, the queen and Ye Shuhua have not been on good terms for a long time, and all the ministers know it.

The emperor looked at the unconscious queen, his brows were tightly locked, and the look in his eyes was cold and sharp.

At this moment, the queen's body twitched a few more times, and she lost her breath directly.

Imperial Doctor Liu hurriedly stepped forward to check, and finally his face was full of shock, his face was also pale with fright, and he kowtowed and trembled.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

When his words landed, all the courtiers were frightened and exclaimed.

Even Mama Zhou rushed over and grabbed Imperial Doctor Liu and said, "Impossible, no, how could the queen die!" Are you diagnosing the wrong one? ”

"The queen has no pulse and breath, how can the old minister diagnose the mistake!"

The emperor sat down on the dragon chair next to him, covering his heart, panting heavily, as if he couldn't breathe.

The father-in-law on the side hurriedly calmed down for the emperor.

This made the emperor relieved.

"Someone! Put the sinner Ye Shuhua in prison! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

Li Zhen and Li Shuo stepped forward to stop it.

But if you can't speak, the emperor is furious, "You all shut up with me!" She is your mother! ”

At that moment, there were already royal guards stepping forward and escorting Ye Shuhua out of the palace.

Including Takekage and Yoshizui.

Li Zhen's eyes were full of worry, he thought that the queen would embarrass her, but at most, she couldn't hold a banquet and was reprimanded.

He didn't expect that in the end, the queen died at the banquet, and Ye Shuhua became the one who poisoned her.

He knew it must not be her, but now all the evidence pointed to her.

The emperor was angry again, and he couldn't listen to a word at all.

Looking at Ye Shuhua's figure walking away, he looked at the wine glass again.

Secretly dipped the veil in the wine glass.

In the dungeon, it was cold and cold.

Ye Shuhua and Ji Cui Zhuying are locked up in a cell.

Ji Cui guarded Ye Shuhua, and her tears had already fallen.

"Miss, the slave really looked at the wine that Father-in-law Xu took the whole time, looked at the wine jug he poured in, and the slave didn't leave the sight of the jug for a moment, and then handed it to Miss."

"No one has a chance to be poisoned."

Ye Shuhua patted her hand and said with relief: "I know, I believe in you, if there is no problem in all links, it is the problem of the drinking himself." ”

"Does the young lady suspect that the poison was caused by the queen herself?"

The queen's body was carried away, and Mama Zhou was already crying into tears.

Follow the queen's body to the ancestral hall and kneel in front of the coffin.

I couldn't stop crying.

also muttered in their mouths: "They all complain about the old slave, they all complain about the old slave." ”

If she had stopped the queen from doing so, the queen would not have died.

If she saw that she had no chance to poison and didn't tell the queen, she just said that she had poisoned, and the queen wouldn't have poisoned herself by taking the poison into her own wine.

Her queen died like that.
