In a few days, it will be Concubine Yun's birthday banquet, and almost everyone in the palace who has some status will arrive. Most of the officials were reluctant to let go of this good opportunity to pay tribute, and they all dug out their own preparations for it. The concubines have nothing to do every year, and they rarely have the opportunity to attend a large-scale ceremony, so they refuse to miss the excitement, and in order to see the emperor, everyone wears heavy makeup, jewelry, and bright clothes, hoping to charm the emperor, one is more like the protagonist than the other.

A large stage was set up in the palace, all paved with tiles, and the side was the stand, and the first golden dragon chair was the emperor's seat, and the queen mother and Shen Shiyun sat beside him on the left and right. The Queen Mother advocated frugality, and when she saw the extravagance for the banquet, she was very disgusted.

On the stage, excerpts are being sung, that is, repertoire selected from the whole legend, singing "Garden" and "Dream" in "The Peony Pavilion". In the middle of the play, Zhen Ying walked to Shen Shiyun's seat with a glass of wine, she was able to temporarily avoid grounding today, all for this banquet, in the final analysis, she was even more angry because of Shen Shiyun's benefits. pretended to care: "Sister Yunfei, your face is not very good, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Shen Shiyun didn't accept the wine, and said with a cold attitude: "Thank you sister for your concern, what discomfort do you think I should have?" Zhen Ying didn't know that she had fallen into the trap, and replied happily: "For example, dizziness, nausea, intra-abdominal cramps, etc." Shen Shiyun sneered: "Thank you for your tonics, this palace is very comfortable now." If you have such symptoms, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible. ”

Zhen Ying frowned, looked at her from head to toe, and saw that her face was ruddy and refreshed, and it really didn't look like she had just had a serious illness. The tonic in the soup removed the negative factors, and in terms of effect alone, it was all a superior tonic herb, and in an instant, he suddenly realized that he screamed: "Shen Shiyun, you are so bold, you dare to commit the crime of bullying the king!" Shen Shiyun changed his usual gentleness and suppleness, stood up and looked at her fearlessly, and said coldly: "What crime has this palace committed to deceive the king?

Zhen Ying said in her heart: "If you want to expose her crimes, you must first confess the poisoning honestly, she must think that I am trying to protect myself and dare not say more...... But when it comes to liquidation, I am just out of jealousy and bad intentions, after all, it is not as serious as her sin, and it is a big deal that the emperor will lock me up for a few more months. Nothing went out, and said loudly: "You drank the forbidden tonic, but now you are safe and sound, obviously a fake pregnancy! Your Majesty, this woman has a fake belly, and the concubine will let you see her true face!"

Fu Lin was furious and shouted: "What is this for? Do you want to rebel?" ordered the officers and soldiers to step forward and pull the two apart, Shen Shiyun straightened his clothes, and said with a smile: "Concubine Zhen Niangniang, since you knew early on that the tonic was harmful to the palace, why did you send someone to send it?" Zhen Ying thought that at most this trick was a trick, and replied calmly: "That's right! This palace is a heart, I just hate you, I hate you! I didn't expect to accidentally uncover your tricks, this is called the sky has eyes!"

Shen Shiyun made a gesture, ordered the officers and soldiers to retreat for the time being, and then walked forward slowly, standing in front of Zhen Ying, and said in a low voice: "How do you know that this palace must have been poisoned?" Zhen Ying shouted: "Unless you are born with all kinds of poisons, as long as you drink the soup......" Shen Shiyun walked around her side, put her lips to her ear, and murmured: "Since someone has already drunk it for this palace, why should I bother?"

Zhen Ying's pupils widened with fear, and she said, "You...... The bowl of ...... you sent" Shen Shiyun nodded and smiled: "How is it, does it taste okay?" Zhen Ying shouted angrily: "You slut, you dare to harm me......! I'm fighting with you!" "Both hands were suddenly stuck in Shen Shiyun's neck, and the two pulled each other, Zhenying's flag head was crooked to the side, and her hair was scattered, and she lost her plain and dignified.

Fu Lin said angrily: "Come on, drag this crazy woman down to me! Behead her on a certain day!" The officers and soldiers waited beside them, and they quickly separated the two of them, and escorted Zhen Ying to the outside of the palace. Halfway through, Zhen Ying suddenly let out a terrible scream, and the whole person collapsed to the ground like a falling shelf, and all the officers and soldiers remembered that she was the imperial concubine, and they didn't dare to exert too much force when escorting, and suddenly they didn't grasp it. Fu Lin said angrily: "What are you pretending to be again?"

The Queen Mother observed from the side, and saw that Zhen Ying's face was pale, her lips were gray, layers of sweat were oozing from the corners of her forehead, her fingers were tightly tugging at her belly, and she persuaded: "Emperor, she doesn't seem to be pretending." Fu Lin glanced impatiently, and suddenly saw a stream of blood flowing out of Zhen Ying's lower body, flowing more and more, endlessly, and soon formed a small pool of blood around her. Although he was annoyed by Zhen Ying's evil deeds, he finally cared about the old feelings and shouted: "Concubine Zhen, what's the matter?

There are a few imperial doctors standing next to them, you push me, and no one wants to take the initiative to step forward. It is not easy to heal the sick and save people, if they can cure the sick, they are simply regarded as living bodhisattvas who save the suffering; once the patient dies in his own hands, he will be grabbed by the collar at any time, scolded and often beaten. In fact, success or failure depends on the patient's condition, and it is impossible to judge the level of medical skills, but the family members are sad and complaining, and they can't control it.

Although the imperial doctor has a more noble status than the doctor who runs the rivers and lakes, the danger is far beyond it. The hairy foot Langzhong was only repaired, but the nose was blue and the face was swollen, if the imperial doctor made a mistake, even the head of the Xiang Shang would be difficult to protect, and the emperor died and was forced to be martyred in ancient times. And the doctor reports good news but not bad news, from the appearance of the concubine, it is obviously not good, who dares to come to this troubled water?

After a long time, a famous imperial doctor was a little slower, was squeezed out of the circle, and was just about to turn around and scold his mother, but finally remembered in time that it was in front of the emperor, and hurriedly swallowed a series of complaints back into his stomach, swallowed his saliva, and stepped forward to take the pulse, but he didn't expect the result to be diagnosed even worse, sighing: "Alas, it's a pity!

Zhen Ying took a breath and forcedly said, "What is a pity......? Am I dying?" said the doctor, "No, my mother's body is fine. Zhen Ying said unhappily: "Then why do you sigh so much, don't you have to be happy if this palace is dead?" The imperial doctor didn't even dare to say it, and Fu Lin hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on, you say it quickly!"

The imperial doctor thought that Hengzhi was also a death, so he secretly cheered up and said: "Concubine Zhen Niangniang has taken a lot of tonics, and there are a variety of strong ingredients, and the momentum is very great, so I feel severe pain in my abdomen, and it will be fine if I rest for a few more days." It's a pity...... The child conceived by the mother has been lost, judging from the pulse, it should be a little prince, and the embryo has already developed and formed, hey, it's a pity ......"

Zhen Ying was like being hit by five thunders, she couldn't say a word, and she was stunned and weeping. Fu Lin was also hit hard, took a step back, and said with a wry smile: "Ha, ha, okay, my son is smart, I don't want to have such a mother to be humiliated, so I directly chose not to come to this world, heh......" Zhenying cried: "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it's all the sins of the concubines." The concubine knows that she is wrong, please forgive me...... The concubine will definitely give you many sons in the future, this time...... This time......"

Fu Lin said abruptly: "Stop! You have no future! I ordered you to catch Concubine Zhen and the girl who delivered the medicine and behead them, but you didn't hear what happened?" Yin Yin didn't wait for anyone to be arrested, she squeezed out from behind the crowd first, helped Zhen Ying and shouted: "Niangniang, how are you? Are you okay?" stood up in front of her and cried: "It's none of Niangniang's business, you kill my head and let Niangniang go......!"

Shen Shiyun suddenly sneered: "Have you sung enough? Walking up to Fu Lin, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen is not the mastermind, she is also a victim." It's all this maid who is making trouble in it, punishing me openly and harming her secretly. Concubine Zhen no matter how much she hates her concubines, she will not poison herself, please ask the emperor to find out. ”

Although Zhen Ying didn't understand why Shen Shiyun was on the verge of defection, in order to survive, she hurriedly shouted: "Yes, the emperor, this is all Yin Yin's idea, and the concubine is wronged! What's more, today is Concubine Yun's birthday, you are killing people at this time, not afraid of damaging her yin virtue?" Fu Lin said angrily: "Presumptuous!" Shen Shiyun glanced at her gloatingly, and said with a smile: "What Concubine Zhen said is reasonable, just treat it as a concubine to ask the emperor for a favor, okay?"

Fu Lin listened to her soft words and begged, he couldn't bear to refuse, and besides, he had always believed in the words of ghosts and gods, but he was really afraid that the blood-spattered feast would bring disaster, so he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not the mastermind, it's also an accomplice! Nian Zai Concubine Yun pleaded, you can avoid the death penalty, and the living crime cannot be escaped! Spread my will, dragged Concubine Zhen out of the palace, beat the twenty boards, demoted to a nobleman, and moved to live in the cold palace. That poisonous ghost girl will be executed on the spot!" Yin Yin was horrified, knowing that the emperor had moved his true character, and begging for mercy was no longer helpful, so he turned around and ran. Before he could take a few steps under the interception of the guards, he was stabbed from behind by an officer and soldier and slashed to the ground.

Zhen Ying's two arms were twisted behind her, but she didn't realize it, and looked at Yin Yin's corpse blankly. Under the huge impact, her mind suddenly became empty, and she figured out that Shen Shiyun helped herself shirk her responsibility, and the starting point was just to cover up her crime of unintentionally poisoning the little prince. finally came to his senses and understood that he was not Concubine Yun's opponent, and everything he did was to push himself to a dead end. Suddenly, I felt a strong feeling of regret and unwillingness, and struggled hard to move forward, and screamed: "Queen Mother, you save me, Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother naturally didn't want to see Shen Shiyun proud, but she couldn't do anything to save Zhen Ying, shook her head, and sighed: "Alas, you are so confused!" Zhen Ying saw that the general trend was gone, thinking of the horror of being beaten, and screamed: "Your Majesty, you will regret it! You can't see Concubine Yun as a person, you will regret it sooner or later!" The howl went all the way away.

Fu Lin was upset and said, "Yun'er, these people are restless, I have to come to the scene to supervise the sentence in person, and I will accompany you to watch the play later." ”

The "Peony Pavilion" on the stage has already finished singing, and the new one is a team of dragon and lion dances. In the sound of gongs and drums, a golden nine-section long dragon swings its head and tail, meandering and swimming, vigorous and fluttering. The head of the dragon holds a rod in front, and a huge ball is erected on the top of the rod as a guide. There is a person holding the rod every five or six feet in the rear, the distance between the head and the tail is about ten zhang long, the giant ball swings around, and the dragon's head is like grabbing the ball, causing the dragon body to swim and fly. More than a dozen strong men walked neatly, almost as one.

The concubines saw it and applauded. A famous little Gege pulled the concubine's clothes and said with a smile: "Eniang, look at that little lion is so cute!"

Sure enough, the most popular thing on the stage is a smart-looking lion. Jumping up and down around the long dragon, one after another made a wonderful shape of getting up, sleeping, and getting out of the hole, which amused the audience, and then jumped on the dragon's back, walking all the way up along the momentum, and the body leaned back almost parallel to the ground.

When approaching the head of the dragon, a somersault jumped out, turned a few heels in mid-air, fell back to the table quickly, put his arms in front of him, slammed to the ground, and said in a humming voice: "The grass people are not talented, the friends of the opera class carry love, and the martial arts acrobatics are quite famous among the people. ”

Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "Okay, you can come to the audition, let the palace see if you have real talent and learning, or if you have a vain reputation." If you perform well, you will be rewarded!"
