Chapter 523: Poisonous Woman
On the day Zhao Lian'er said goodbye to Concubine Bai Chen, Concubine Bai Chen couldn't wait to hold a small family dinner.
The small family dinner invited Empress Du, Emperor Zhao of Zhou, some concubines who were on good terms with her, and the prominent female relatives of the Du family in Shangjing.
The prominent female members of the Du family in Shangjing were very proud and looked down on Concubine Bai Chen.
However, Concubine Bai Chen instructed the chief palace maid to give a hint.
The prominent female members of the Du family in Shangjing discussed the matter and smiled knowingly.
In the inner house, if you are not good at fighting, how can you be prominent?
It was during the family dinner that Concubine Bai Chen accused Empress Du of being the murderer who poisoned Du Zichun.
This incident spread outside and sparked heated discussions throughout the city.
"Your Highness, I also think that Du Zichun's poison was given by Queen Du." Tu Mi teased.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen didn't bother to even blink and continued to listen to "Peach Blossom Fan".
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
Wow, "Peach Blossom Fan" and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are a perfect match.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
"It's not Queen Du, she loves her family." Zhu Huaizhen sighed lightly.
Unfortunately, her family, at this moment, will not consider her as family.
Zhu Huai really wished that Queen Du could experience this feeling of betrayal more often.
Her little Ge should not have died innocently.
The sun and moon hang in the sky at dawn and dusk, and spirits wield the power of life and death. Heaven and earth, supposed to distinguish between the clear and the turbid, yet how could they have confused Dao Zhi and Yan Yuan? Those who do good suffer poverty and a shorter life, while those who commit evil enjoy wealth and longevity. Heaven and earth, seemingly coveting the strong and bullying the weak, yet they also seem to go along with the tide. Earth, if you can't distinguish between good and evil, what are you called Earth? Heaven, you misjudge the wise and the foolish, unworthy of being Heaven! Alas, all I can do is shed tears.
The troupe changed the song to "The Injustice of Dou E" because they were afraid that Zhu Huaizhen would be bored.
Xiao Ge seems to like listening to "The Injustice of Dou E".
"Tu Mi, inform Chen Liang to use pear blossom snow." Zhu Huaizhen sighed lightly.
Pear Blossom Snow, when the poison takes effect, the hair becomes as white as snow and the body smells of pear blossoms.
This was the poison that Empress Du once gave to Xiao Ge.
Moreover, the poison of pear blossom snow can cover the mandarin duck poison in Chen Liang's body.
"Your Highness, they will all die soon, so why be sad?" Tu Mi said softly.
"Tu Mi, have you noticed that pear blossoms are rarely seen in Shangjing?" Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
After saying this, Tu Mi thought for a moment and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Some people are really hypocritical, but they always pretend to be deeply affectionate.
Thus, Du Zichun died in the pear blossom snow, his hair turned white overnight, and the fragrance of flowers faded.
Emperor Zhao of Zhou cursed Empress Du as a vicious woman, took back Empress Du's Phoenix Seal, and gave it to Consort Bai Chen, or rather, Consort Bai Guifei, to manage on her behalf. Empress Du was imprisoned in the Fengluan Palace and was not allowed to enter or leave without an imperial decree.
Immediately afterwards, the theory that beautiful women are the root of all trouble, which was raised by Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen, came back to life.
