Chapter 378 An unexpected surprise

He didn't notice that as Zhu Chanjuan walked over, the sad and resentful expression on her face instantly disappeared, leaving only resentment.

A palace banquet was held in the evening.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of family reunion, so Emperor Mingpei specifically issued an oral order, ordering his ministers and his wife to attend the palace banquet together. At the same time, he also ordered someone to notify Zhu Chanjuan.

This was his original intention.

Even after receiving the letter from the Shadow Guard, he had no intention of changing it.

This was reasonable in the eyes of the ministers. Although Zhu Chanjuan was no longer the Imperial Noble Consort, after all, Emperor Mingpei had summoned him repeatedly during this period, but Xiao Tai did not obey the order. So the Duke of Qing seemed somewhat important.

So, after suppressing them, you can also lift them up.

This was a small-scale palace banquet. Only the ministers and high officials came. Even the princes were not summoned. Everyone was a perfect match and it was a great time.

Zhu Chanjuan sat upright at first, and her words and laughter were decent... Later, she became increasingly uneasy, and she couldn't help glancing to the side, becoming more and more restless.

Duke Qing noticed something was wrong, and although he didn't know why, he still interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, I recently thought of a way to train soldiers, but it's a bit foolish, and many people laugh at me. Can I tell Your Majesty about it?"

This shows how good at speaking Duke Qing is.

At this time, mentioning Xiao Tai would obviously bring bad luck.

Speaking of Zhu Chanjuan, there is a difference in status and he cannot plead guilty on her behalf. His own soldiers were actually not at fault.

Therefore, it is a good idea to bring up official business, which can not only show your ability and merit, but also bring you closer to the emperor.

Emperor Mingpei also laughed and asked, "What's the method?"

Duke Qing laughed and said, "Usually when they train and fight, they always hit blindly. If they hit too lightly, it's useless. If they hit too hard, they're afraid of hurting their comrades. They're so restricted in their training that I've been thinking about this. I'll drag them to the river to train now, and have them stand in the middle of the river. Pull a rope in the middle to separate them into two teams, and throw gourds down from above, with a red gourd on one side and a blue gourd on the other. Then, put two or three people on each team, and you can stagger the gourds... As soon as your team's gourd comes down, you hit it up, and the ones that are missed in the front will be hit later..."

"Your Majesty, think about it. The water is waist-deep. How powerful will it be when it rushes down? If you can stand in the river, won't that train your legs? The gourd that comes down is also heavy, and it will train your hand strength. If you want to shoot accurately, won't that train your aim? So in this season, when the weather is hot, I think it's not bad to practice like this..."

Emperor Mingpei couldn't help but nodded.

So, it can be said that Duke Qing is indeed a capable man with a lot of ideas. Although this method is unheard of, it sounds good.

It’s a pity that his heart is not right.

On the surface, the two of them seemed to be chatting enthusiastically. Emperor Mingpei became interested and picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Just at this moment, Xiao Tianzi finally came over with the pot.

Zhu Chanjuan's face changed slightly, and she wanted to wink at him.

Then Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "This chicken slice is good. Let Zhu Qing try it!"

Fang Wuyou hurried forward, took it in his own hands, and took the opportunity to block Zhu Chanjuan.

Fang Wuyou did not dare to delay any longer, nor did he dare to look at Zhu Chanjuan. He quickly poured wine for the emperor and stepped aside.

Zhu Chanjuan's face turned pale and she clenched her sleeves tightly.

Emperor Mingpei chatted and laughed with Duke Qing while paying a little attention to her, sneering in his heart.

We are just getting started? Are you in such a hurry?

This person seemed so smart when things were going well, playing around with a bunch of men. But when he encountered a little trouble, he became like this.

Emperor Mingpei certainly did it on purpose.

The poison had been replaced long ago, and Xiao Tianzi was also asked to stay for a while.

Just two quarters of an hour later, things would be very different! An impulsive and conceited person usually doesn't think too much before making a decision. After all, she just wants to vent her anger, and she doesn't care about Xiao Tianzi's life. At the same time, she is confident that Xiao Tianzi will not give her up. For her, this is perfect.

But the most terrifying thing in this world is never when the dust has settled, but when the steel knife is hanging over your head, about to fall.

Only at this suspenseful moment would she suddenly calm down and begin to think about the seriousness of the matter, and what would happen if she were implicated. She would think about hierarchy, lingchi, the extermination of nine clans... and so on, the most terrible consequences.

Especially, he had a pleasant conversation with his father, and the situation did not seem that serious at all!!

She finally woke up.

She finally regretted it.

If she were asked to make a decision again at this time, she would definitely take it back.

But what if she is not given a chance to take back her decision?

Emperor Mingpei said with a smile: "This cup of wine will be given to my beloved concubine!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He gave Duke Qing food and Zhu Chanjuan wine, which was very natural.

Zhu Chanjuan was stunned. Fang Wuyou had already brought the wine over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please have some. Oh, Your Majesty, don't worry. I will hold it for you. Don't drop it."

The smile on Zhu Chanjuan's face froze. With Fang Wuyou holding the cup, she walked based on her feeling again in a hurry.

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I also want to give him a glass of wine!"

Even Emperor Mingpei's hand couldn't help but pause slightly.

Seeing Zhu Chanjuan passing the wine over like a spoiled child, Duke Qingguo didn't notice at all, he laughed and drank it in one gulp, and said to his daughter, "Take care, Madam."

What a loving father and a filial daughter! Emperor Mingpei was about to laugh in his heart! This was a pleasant surprise! ! But if you think about it carefully, it also fits Zhu Chanjuan's personality. Isn't she just seducing men, and men are always the ones who fight for her in everything? So, she can't drink it. If she breaks the cup forcibly, she is afraid that Emperor Mingpei will blame her. But if she gives it to her father...does she think that her father won't blame her? Or does she think that her father will not die anyway?

Emperor Mingpei then gave a look, and Fang Wuyou understood and retreated.

So when Duke Qing drank a glass of wine, the poison from his own daughter was poured into his cup.

After Duke Qing returned home, he had a series of nightmares that night and missed the morning court session.

Duke Qing also hid the person who was good at poison, so he must have recognized the poison used on his daughter... So, no matter whether he thought Emperor Mingpei knew it or not, after all, Zhu Chanjuan knew it, because she gave the poison to him personally.

So, he must want to know why his daughter wants to kill the emperor of a country? Or, why would she do such a stupid thing?

Emperor Mingpei left the table, really laughing sarcastically.

But think about it, if Tuanzi hadn't reminded him, he would have really drunk the poison.

Similarly, if Tuanzi didn't detoxify, the poison made by this expert in poison would be incurable even by all the doctors! Emperor Mingpei asked, "Where are they?"

As soon as he received the letter and heard that they were coming, he quickly asked the shadow guard to inform them, but after they found out, they still decided to come over. It is said that Xinbao said, "I'm worried."

Emperor Mingpei couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, and said, "Tell me as soon as you arrive."

Fang Wuyou said anxiously, "Yes."
