The lottery performance at this birthday party ended with Ye Jinyun's singing and dancing.

No one thought they could surpass her, and not wanting to embarrass themselves in front of the emperor, they all suggested that the imperial concubine stop.

Seeing that her goal had not been achieved and that the emperor's attention was always glued to Ye Jinyun, the imperial concubine gave up the drawing of lots.

…

The banquet was still going on, but because there had been a performance going on in the hall, the remaining dishes were stopped and not served on the table.

Since the show was no longer going on, they started serving the food again.

The imperial concubine looked at the palace maid who brought in the dishes, and glanced at Jinxiu beside her. Jinxiu nodded slightly to her, and the imperial concubine curled up a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

You were very proud just now, weren't you? Then you'll die soon.

…

Because Ye Jinyun had just danced, the food she had eaten earlier had been almost digested.

After changing her clothes and sitting down, she started eating without caring what others thought of her.

While he was enjoying his meal, he saw the palace maids coming in with new dishes.

Once it was placed on her table, she immediately started eating.

[Beep, beep, warning, food detected to be highly toxic, please pay attention, host]

A mechanical voice sounded, and Ye Jinyun's hand, which was about to pick up the food, paused.

Is this vegetable poisonous?

Ye Jinyun lowered his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and then quickly looked at the person most likely to have poisoned him.

Sure enough, she saw the imperial concubine staring at her without blinking.

Ye Jinyun withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows in his heart. Haha, poisoning so openly, does he really not take the emperor seriously?

Or, in order to kill her, he no longer cared about the consequences if the truth was revealed.

Since she wants to see me eat this dish so much, it would be a pity if I don’t let her wish come true.

He curled his lips, picked up the dish with chopsticks and prepared to put it into his mouth.

At this moment, a voice from behind suddenly called her.

"Yun Zhaoyi, you'd better not eat this dish. It's cold in nature and not good for your body after exercising."

When Ye Jinyun heard someone calling him, he turned around and looked at the person who was speaking.

It turned out to be Shen Lanxin. She said this, and fearing that she didn't understand, she secretly winked at her towards the imperial concubine.

Ye Jinyun understood instantly. She thought that Shen Lanxin probably knew that the imperial concubine had tampered with her dish, so she reminded her.

He smiled at her and nodded, indicating that Ye Jinyun accepted her favor.

Since someone has already stopped her, she will just go with the flow and not test the poison herself.

Otherwise, she really wanted to try and see if her body would react after the imperial concubine took the poison. Anyway, her life would be safe.

When the imperial concubine saw that her plan was ruined by Shen Lanxin, she was so angry that she accidentally knocked over the wine glass and wet her clothes.

This noise made many people in the hall look at her.

The emperor had just returned from his toilet and saw everyone staring at her. He sat down and asked:

"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at the concubine?"

The imperial concubine cursed in her heart: What bad luck.

Then he said with an embarrassed smile:

"Your Majesty, I accidentally knocked over my wine glass just now, making a noise that startled all the sisters. I will go downstairs to change my clothes. Please don't blame me for leaving the table."

"Well, go ahead," Mo Qiyuan said nonchalantly, and turned his gaze back to Ye Jinyun.

Seeing that the emperor ignored her so much, the imperial concubine hated Ye Jinyun so much that she wanted to cut him into pieces. She also hated Shen Lanxin for ruining her plan.

…

After the imperial concubine left the table, Ye Jinyun continued to eat her own food, but she did not touch the poisonous dish at all.

Mo Qiyuan was watching her every move from above.

Seeing that she liked all the food on the table, but there was only one dish that she didn't touch at all, and even put it at the farthest place, he felt a little puzzled.

He remembered that she seemed to like this dish very much. Every time they had a meal together, she would praise it highly. Why didn't she even look at it today? He immediately felt it was a little strange.

Restraining the doubts in his heart, Mo Qiyuan sat there drinking silently. Seeing that Ye Jinyun had almost finished eating, he stood up and said that he would go back first.

…

After leaving Qiongxiang Pavilion, Mo Qiyuan shouted to the night sky: "Hidden One"

Yin Yi immediately appeared beside him and knelt down: "Your Majesty."

Mo Qiyuan looked at him with a stern expression: "Go and check if there is any problem with the dish that Yun Zhaoyi didn't eat tonight. Report to me immediately if you have any results."

"Yes, I obey your command."

Then disappeared on the spot.

…

In the Qiongxiang Pavilion, when the imperial concubine came back after changing her clothes, she heard that the emperor had already left. She immediately lost the desire to stay and gave Chu Mingrou a look.

Chu Mingrou received her sister's gaze and said to the Queen Mother coquettishly:

"Empress Dowager, I feel a little tired. How about we end the banquet here today?"

The Queen Mother naturally felt sorry for her, and immediately announced that the banquet was over and the concubines could go back and rest.

Then he asked a large group of palace servants to surround Chu Mingrou and left Qiongxiang Pavilion first.

Ye Jinyun and Lin Qingtang also followed the concubines and began to disperse.

After leaving Qiongxiang Pavilion, we arrived at a secluded place.

When Ye Jinyun saw Chen Lanxin walking in front of them, he asked them to wait for him and went up to thank her.

Shen Lanxin saluted her, and seeing that there was no one around, she said politely in a low voice:
