The birthday banquet was not affected by this little episode, but became more enthusiastic. Emperor Zong was in a great mood and his face was full of joy. All the guests could only hear the sound of rewards, but in the second half, Liu Jin, the eunuch next to Emperor Zong, hurried to the top position, and whispered a few words in Emperor Zong's ear with an anxious face.
Not knowing what Liu Jin said, Emperor Zong's expression changed drastically.
Standing up abruptly, he roared in disbelief: "What's going on?!"
The dancer and luthier immediately stopped, bowed her head and backed away, the uproar at one moment turned into dead silence at the next moment, everyone looked at Emperor Zong uneasy, wondering why the emperor suddenly got angry? Even the empress and concubine Rong Gui beside Emperor Zong didn't understand, the empress asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Emperor Zong didn't care about her at all, his face was frighteningly dark, and he said coldly to the chief eunuch Liu Jin: "Show Liuhua Palace."
After finishing speaking, she left directly. The Queen's face immediately showed a strange look, and the hand hanging by her side couldn't help but clenched tightly. This scene fell into the eyes of Concubine Rong, she just raised her eyebrows , Covering the expression in his eyes again, he softly comforted: "Sister, let's go and see quickly, don't something really happen."
As soon as she reminded her, the empress hurriedly headed towards Liuhua Palace with Concubine Rong with the support of her personal nurse.
The people left behind looked at each other, Liuhua Palace
Isn't that the palace where Concubine Ying lived? Could it be that something happened to Concubine Ying
Concubine Ying entered the palace a year ago. She was the daughter of a merchant brought back by the emperor. Because of her beauty and simple and lively personality, she was very favored. After being brought back by the emperor, she was directly named Concubine Ying. Over the past year, her favor has not faded. , until half a year later she became pregnant. The emperor was very happy when he learned about it. There were even rumors that the child in Concubine Ying's womb might become the crown prince. Could it be that something happened to the child
Thinking of an incident that happened not long ago, they couldn't help but take another look at the second prince Xia Hourui, but they didn't dare to be blatant, they only dared to take a sneak peek.
It's just that Xia Hourui's face was heavy, and the glazed light covered his stern face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. Xiahou Liuyun next to Xiahourui couldn't bear it anymore, and scanned the surroundings viciously. Immediately, no one dared to look over, "Second brother, let's go and have a look as well."
Xia Hourui nodded with a solemn expression. The eyes of everyone on him made him extremely uncomfortable. If Concubine Ying couldn't give birth to that child, he would indeed benefit. What's more, when Concubine Ying first entered the palace, his father had already doubted him because of that incident. Although he had only warned him at the time, he didn't believe that he would really attack Concubine Ying, but it was hard to guarantee that others would not He will blame him, so in the past few months, he has given up a lot of thoughts on Concubine Ying, just to save the child.
No matter who the crown prince would fall on, he never cared about it, nor did he care.
But he will never allow someone with a heart to pour dirty water on him!
His pupils were as deep as ink, he took a step with his long legs, and headed towards Liuhua Palace together with Xiahou Liuyun and other princes, and behind them, without the emperor's birthday banquet, no one had any thoughts. As soon as Lou Qufeng left from Emperor Zong, he paid attention to the situation in front of him. Seeing that Xia Hourui also left, after thinking about it, he gently pushed Lou Qingwu's arm beside him, and put a token in her In his hand: "Qing Wu, you also go and have a look, and notify Father as soon as there is any news."
Lou Qingwu's drooping pupils covered the emotion in her eyes, she quietly replied: "Yes." Then, she stood up unhurriedly and followed.
She thought about it for a moment just now. In the past, she always felt that she had forgotten something. After the courtier beside her just mentioned Concubine Ying, she remembered that the situation in the court was also after the night of Emperor Zong's birthday banquet in her last life. Earth-shaking changes have taken place, and the harem has also...
Shrinking the deepness in her eyes, Lou Qingwu went to Liuhua Palace according to the memory of her previous life, and because of Concubine Rong's token in her hand, she easily entered Liuhua Palace. But before he reached the bedroom, he heard Zongdi's angry roar from inside: "What are you all doing?! If you can't keep Concubine Ying, you don't have to go out of Liuhua Palace!"
"The emperor calms down! The emperor calms down! The ministers must do their best! Do their best!"
When Lou Qingwu walked in, a lot of people gathered outside Liuhua Palace's dormitory, it was dark, but the atmosphere was extraordinarily dignified. The Empress and Concubine Rong stood beside Emperor Zong to comfort and comfort him, while Xia Hourui and Xiahou Liuyun were indifferent. Standing at a distance, like the other princes, he has an extraordinarily deep expression. According to the memory of the previous life, Concubine Ying was poisoned to give birth to a stillborn baby.
Moreover, one dead body and two lives.
The poisoner is said to be...
Lou Qingwu's eyes fell on Xia Hourui's body inadvertently, but she quickly retracted her eyes, her eyes were full of ups and downs, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Seemingly aware of Lou Qingwu's gaze, Xia Hourui turned his head slightly, and saw Lou Qingwu standing in the corner. Seeing her, Xia Hourui was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and his thin lips curled into a slit The line, the whole body's emotions are tense.
The palace servants outside the bedroom came in and out with hot water and blood. The whole atmosphere was tense and solemn. Emperor Zong stood there majestically, like a pillar, exuding air-conditioning all over his body.
The others didn't even dare to vent their anger.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the bedroom was opened again, and the bloody Wen Po and the imperial doctor came out holding a child wrapped in bright yellow silk and satin, but they knelt heavily on the ground, with grief and despair on their faces: "Your Majesty... I have tried my best!"
Emperor Zong stared at the child in Wen Po's hands with his scarlet eyes, his whole body was stiff and motionless.
The other people present were also full of dignity, because the child... didn't cry.
Their hearts couldn't help trembling, thinking that tonight might not be peaceful.
"Your majesty, the little prince died at birth. Concubine Ying caused a blood collapse when she gave birth, and it's...not good." The imperial doctor and Po Wen kowtowed desperately, for fear that the emperor would really kill them in a fit of anger. Pulled it out and cut it. Before Emperor Zong could react, Wen Po, who was holding the child, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this old servant found this...under Concubine Ying's bed." After finishing speaking, Wen Po presented something to Zong before God.
And everyone, including Empress Rong Guifei and the princes, all changed their faces when they saw that thing.
I saw that Mrs. Wen was holding a puppet in her hand, and a small puppet was attached to the puppet's belly. The two overlapping puppets were covered with silver needles. , took the puppet over, and handed it to Emperor Zong, whose face was dark and almost dripping ink. He turned it over stiffly, and the birth date of Concubine Ying was impressively written on the back.
Everyone was shocked: it was... the art of witchcraft!
