The queen heard many voices praising Ye Feimo below, and her face revealed a proud look.
She glanced at Yu Qing, and a sincere smile flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Feeling the Queen's approving gaze, Yu Qing had a smug smile in her eyes.
After Ye Feimo presented the gift to the queen, he sat down at the seat closest to the queen, and whispered to the queen what he had done during this time.
At this time, the musicians around played brisk music, and a group of young women in colorful dance clothes came in.
They danced to the music, with long sleeves fluttering, graceful figure, elegant and novel dancing posture.
The guests watched intently, and You Gongzi was fascinated by it, and tapped his fingers on the table.
Yu Qing was very satisfied with this scene.
Ye Feibai was talking to Emperor Ming at the moment, he seemed not interested in singing and dancing, not even interested in watching.
Ye Feifan was always thinking about how to chat and win Emperor Ming's favor.
The atmosphere is harmonious and cheerful.
Everyone ate delicious food, drank special wine, enjoyed beautiful singing and dancing, occasionally clinked glasses and talked, and all faces were filled with joyful smiles.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and then some china bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
The queen frowned involuntarily, her face a little unhappy.
Everyone looked in the direction of the screams, and when they saw clearly, expressions of horror appeared on their faces.
Yu Qing, who was chatting and laughing with others just now, now has a hand tightly stuck to her throat.
She was short of breath, her complexion was blue, and blood flowed from the corners of her eyes, nostrils, and mouth. The blood lost its original red color, showing a dark red color close to black.
Su Xiaorui and Ye Xiaonian haven't seen it clearly yet, their eyes have been covered by the Queen Mother: "Don't look."
I don't know who yelled: "The fifth imperial concubine is poisoned!"
There was a look of panic and bewilderment on the faces of the guests.
"Mother, mother!" Ye Jing who was sitting next to Yu Qing was almost stunned, his little face was devoid of blood, his hands firmly grasped the corner of Yu Qing's clothes, and he just yelled this sentence over and over again. .
Yu Qing looked at him, wanting to say something, but at this moment her eyes were wide open, her seven orifices were bleeding, she looked very scary.
Then her pupils were dilated, her body froze completely, and she fell backwards on her back with a bang.
"Mother..." Ye Jing saw Yu Qing fell to the ground, her eyes were glazed over. He yelled loudly, but couldn't say anything.
"Prince doctor! Go get the doctor!" Ye Feifan had been at odds with Yu Qing these days, rarely spoke, and stayed with his concubine all the time, but at this moment when he saw Yu Qing fall to the ground, his face was full Surprised and angry, "Who the hell is it? Who killed my Qing'er!"
Sitting next to Yu Qing were all female customers. Seeing Yu Qing's tragic death, some of them covered their mouths and cried: "Dead, dead!"
Some people also thought they were poisoned, and choked their necks to vomit in panic. For a while, people panicked, screaming and crying continuously, and the scene was very chaotic.
The queen never expected that things would turn out like this, a look of sternness flashed across her face, today is her birthday, how could she die in a good manner
The doctor came quickly.
After half-kneeling in front of Yu Qing to feel her pulse, he felt her breath again, hesitating for a moment: "My condolences to the fifth prince, the fifth imperial concubine died of poison."
The fifth prince took two steps back, with a mournful expression and tears in his eyes.
Yu Qing's two younger sisters were also there, and Yu Qing had arranged to perform on stage today to attract the sixth prince's attention. It's just that before they had a chance to play, they learned the news of Yu Qing's death from poison.
The news was so sudden that they were taken aback for a moment and then burst into tears.
The Emperor Ming, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress all came down from above, and Yu Qing's two younger sisters knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, Empress, please make decisions for our sister, she was murdered to death!"
The queen was furious, who did such a thing on her birthday: "Investigate! Thoroughly investigate this matter immediately!"
The faces of the people around were pale and flustered: "How could the fifth imperial concubine be poisoned when she is so well-behaved?"
"The problem is not with these wines and dishes, is it?"
"No way, it's okay if we have used all these wines and dishes?"
Immediately, a group of eunuchs came up and tested everything on the scene with silver needles, and the results were soon available.
"Back to the queen, except for the glass of wine that the fifth imperial concubine drank, no poison was found in other dishes."
Someone heard that no poison was found in other dishes, and the heart that was about to jump out returned to the stomach.
"What's going on here? Could it be that the fifth imperial concubine had an enmity with something?"
"That's not true, otherwise, why would the medicine be poured into the cup of the fifth imperial concubine?"
"The food and drink are obviously prepared by the Fifth Imperial Concubine herself..."
"It can't be suicide, can it?"
The faces of the emperor and the empress are not good-looking. A fifth imperial concubine died suddenly in the palace, which would cause a lot of criticism.
The queen is still asking questions one by one.
Ye Feifan's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.
Yu Qing's family cried and demanded an explanation: "Sister, sister..."
Ye Jing was stunned for a long time before he could react. He threw himself on Yu Qing's cold body, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing Yu Qing's horrific death, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Ming couldn't help looking at Ye Feibai, and glared fiercely at Ye Feibai.
Ye Feibai received their gaze, with a calm expression, and looked back innocently, as if nothing happened.
Because someone died at the birthday banquet, the banquet ended early.
After the banquet was over, Emperor Ming called Ye Feibai into his study. With an angry look on his face, he looked at Ye Feibai coldly: "Did you do it?"
Ye Feibai cast his eyes on Emperor Ming, his expression indifferent: "I don't understand what your father is talking about?"
Emperor Ming's tone was affirmative: "The fifth imperial concubine died of poison, and you were the one who administered the medicine."
Ye Feibai frowned, a faint light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Emperor Ming with a puzzled look on his face: "My son has been sitting next to Emperor Father today, how can I have time to prescribe medicine?"
"you… "
A taunt flashed across Ye Feibai's dark eyes: "Father can't find the murderer, so he wants to find his son to take the blame?"
"You have always complained, who else but you?"
"There has always been a grudge? Father means that the fifth imperial concubine once hurt Ying'er? Didn't father say that there is no evidence to let this matter go? Now that this matter has been let go, how can there be any complaints?"
Emperor Ming immediately choked.
He couldn't refute what Ye Feibai said.
Ye Feibai sat with him from beginning to end, and he had an alibi.
