Chapter 189: Trouble

The banquet that followed was quite exciting, with constant singing and dancing, and everyone was no longer so reserved.

Those who wanted to talk to each other talked, and those who wanted to toast toasted.

Concubine Shu was about to stand up.

The emperor began to have a headache.

[Don’t come over here…]

[I just want to be quiet for a while. ]

In fact, Concubine Shu was not dressing up for the emperor. It took her an hour to put on makeup today. Her clothes were priceless. They were made several months ago. She altered and changed them again and again. Her jewelry was also carefully selected to make her look so radiant.

How can you sit still then?

Of course, everyone wants to see it.

So she walked around, then slowly came to the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

emperor"……"

[There is only one person between you and me, so there is no need for you to leave your seat. ]

[I really don’t understand what’s going on in these women’s minds. ]

The emperor took his glass of boiled water and drank it.

Concubine Shu left with a smile.

Just let others see her new clothes, and then see that she and the emperor are chatting and laughing and have a good relationship.

Do we really have to coax this emperor with a strange temper and special hobbies?

Please, she was raised by others at home and could not do such a thing. Besides, she couldn't ruin her makeup. She had to look beautiful at least until the end of the party.

After Shufei is Defei. When Anjiu met Prime Minister Jiang for the first time, he finally understood why the emperor complained about Defei.

Concubine De is also a beauty, but she looks too much like Prime Minister Jiang. With her serious expression, she is simply the female version of Prime Minister Jiang. Every time the emperor sees her, he gets as nervous as if he saw the prime minister.

This cannot be blamed on Concubine De or the emperor. It can only be said that genetic genes are really too powerful.

After that, more people toasted him, and the emperor drank one cup after another. After a while, he felt a little "dizzy".

The emperor covered his head and looked very uncomfortable.

An Jiu wanted to laugh when watching this, his acting was really good, did boiled water make you drunk?

At this moment, Prince Ruyang stood up and said, "I have a great gift for you, my brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent again.

Everyone looked at Prince Ruyang.

The eldest prince just gave it to him, but it wasn’t delivered.

What is Prince Ruyang going to give?

But don't hit someone who smiles at you.

The emperor raised his head and looked down at Prince Ruyang with slightly smoky eyes.

Prince Ruyang was annoyed by the look on his face, but he still smiled and asked someone to bring up a box.

Prince Ruyang smiled and said, "Open it."

The box was opened, revealing two pots of pink flowers. The flowers were as big as an adult's fist and looked very beautiful. Such flowers are rarely seen in summer, let alone winter.

As everyone was amazed, a strange floral fragrance wafted out.

An Jiu was familiar with the scent, it was the smell of rose water. Without thinking, she took a handkerchief and covered the emperor's mouth and nose.

The emperor glanced at her, took the handkerchief, and swayed, looking very uncomfortable.

"Bring the flowers up for me to see." The Queen Mother spoke at this time. She winked at Xiaoji beside her, and Xiaoji ran downstairs to move the flowers.

An Jiu was extremely anxious.

"Eunuch Li, you can't let this flower be taken away."

Eunuch Li didn't know about the rose perfume. He was stunned at first and then hurriedly asked Xiao Fuzi and others to stop them.

However, it was too late, Xiaoji nimbly took the flower to him.

The pungent scent of roses wafted over, and Concubine De, who was closest to her, couldn't help but frown.

"The flowers are fake, they're filled with spices." Concubine Shu sniffed and found the scent familiar. She suddenly remembered the bottle of rose perfume that was spilled at the emperor's birthday banquet.

Coming again?

Is this thing really poisonous?

Concubine Shu took two steps back.

Prince Ruyang smiled and said, "The craftsman made it, it looks like a real flower, and added special spices. Do you like it, my brother?"

The emperor covered his nose and lowered his head, looking very uncomfortable.

An Jiu felt something was wrong and shouted, "Someone come and protect me, this flower is poisonous."

The Queen Mother said angrily, "You bold servant, stop talking nonsense. If it was poisonous, how come I am fine?"

Everyone looked over here, and for a moment they didn't know who was right.

At this time, a woman in a yellow gauze skirt ran out: "Your Majesty is ill... Your Majesty, please spare my life... Don't kill me... Woo woo woo..."

It was Lady Qin.

"How dare you." Eunuch Li wanted to send someone to drag Lady Qin out, but the Queen Mother angrily said, "Li Defu, I am still here, it is not your turn to speak."

She looked at Lady Qin and said, "I remember that you are the emperor's beauty. How dare you talk nonsense here?"

Lady Qin cried and said, "Her Majesty, please save me. I am scared... His Majesty is mad and he gets mad from time to time. When he gets mad, he kills people. I was almost killed by him... Woo woo woo... I am scared... Her Majesty, please save me."

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The old ministers remained silent. It was true that this was planned by the Queen Mother and Prince Ruyang, but there had always been rumors that the Emperor was ill, and they also wanted to see what was going on.

The Queen Mother said with a worried look on her face: "Tell me slowly, why did the Emperor become mad? If you are talking nonsense and slandering the Emperor, I will never forgive you."

Lady Qin said pitifully, "Last summer, in the Imperial Garden, before I could get close to him, he suddenly went mad and raised a knife to kill me. Fortunately, the guards arrived and saved my life. Later, I dared not get close to Your Majesty. But Lady Mei was unlucky. She took the palace maid to bring soup to Your Majesty, and it happened that Your Majesty had a seizure and killed Lady Mei's palace maid. Lady Mei was terrified, and she came to find me, saying that she was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night. She also said that Your Majesty would kill her sooner or later. She said that Your Majesty was a lunatic..."

You could still hear a pin drop in the hall; only Lady Qin's voice was echoing.

Prince Ruyang pretended to ask, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

Lady Qin shook her head: "I swear to heaven that every word I said is true. If there is even a single word that is false, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

But a sudden chuckle was heard, which was very harsh.

Everyone looked over and found that it was King Ming.

When Prince Ming saw everyone looking at him, he said coldly to Lady Qin, "Where is Lady Mei?"

Lady Qin continued, "Not long after this happened, His Majesty, who had not been to the harem for a long time, suddenly came, and then...then Lady Mei was killed by His Majesty..."

Li Defu glanced at the emperor and knew that the situation was not good. He sneered: "Noble Lady Mei assassinated Your Majesty, so Your Majesty dealt with her."

Lady Qin shook her head: "Wuwuwu, I didn't lie. Everyone in the palace knows that the previous maids in Guanghua Palace were all killed by your majesty when he went crazy."

Li Defu said angrily: "My lady, please stop talking nonsense. Several people died in Guanghua Palace before, but they all deserved to die. These people all wanted to murder Your Majesty."

"There are so many people in the palace, all plotting to murder Your Majesty?" Concubine Qin said tremblingly, obviously very scared.

As the emperor's woman, a concubine, she was actually afraid of a eunuch. It made people feel uncomfortable to see.

"If the emperor has any questions, why not ask the servants in Guanghua Palace?" Prince Ruyang suddenly said.

Prince Ming sneered and said sarcastically: "Even though my seventh brother is not in the capital, he still knows a lot and can find a lot of people. His hands are really long enough."

Prince Ruyang smiled with a fake smile: "I am also doing this for the country and people of Daxia."

Prince Duan looked at this and that, his brain wasn't working very well.

King Jing had a gloomy expression on his face. He knew the emperor's situation. Looking at the emperor who had his head lowered, his eyes darkened.

Prince Jing leaned back in his chair tiredly and spoke with difficulty: "Is there any misunderstanding?"

The Eighth Prince also frowned slightly.

What's going on? There are so many troubles and disputes in this secular world, he should go back to the temple.

The Queen Mother sneered: "The Emperor's health is of great importance. I think it is better to ask for details. If you are not clear, it will be better to avoid a serious mistake if the Emperor really gets sick in the future."

The people below all felt a chill on their necks.

The Queen Mother was right. What if the Emperor got sick and killed them in court?
