After the longevity banquet encountered such bad luck, of course it continued to go away - the banquet ended hastily, but the matter was not over.
"The two empress dowagers, Your Majesty, Anliu committed suicide by taking poison, which shows that the matter had nothing to do with me." Yun Fenghuang once again took the lead in dumping the blame, "I was born in a humble background, and Duke Yi is not loyal to the royal family. Geng Geng, how could such poison be brought into the palace?"
My maiden family, the Xie family, does not have that kind of background. It is much better for Duke Yi to wrong the emperor than to wrong me. It is impossible to hand that kind of thing to me. Therefore, even if I kill Anliu, I don’t have the conditions. Conclusion: This palace is absolutely red!
Yuan Zhiniang said softly: "Why do you think so condescendingly, my true concubine? Who in the harem before the Ming Dynasty doesn't know that you are favored by His Majesty, and who dares to look down upon you?"
My true concubine, I did not come from a very good background before, but after becoming a beloved concubine, I had more opportunities to send gifts to my doorstep. Who knows if someone with a profound background may have given me something
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her: "Zhaoyuan seems to have a lot of experience."
I thought so quickly, could it be that Yuan had already tasted that sweetness
"That's enough!" Seeing that her niece was slightly speechless, Empress Dowager Yuan frowned, stopped with a stern face, turned to Chunjia, and sighed, "If I had known this would happen, the Ai family should have postponed the discussion."
Even if it was delayed until tomorrow, Anliu would still die, but at least it happened on that day - a good birthday banquet would be considered unlucky if someone dies, even if it is ordinary people, let alone the Emperor's Longevity Festival.
Empress Dowager Yuan really regretted it at that time, "The Ai family was careless."
"The child is the emperor and cannot be invaded by any evil." Chunjia didn't care very much. He used to make a living in Ji's lap. Who would take care of such details for him
Moreover, this Wanshou Festival was originally organized to further strengthen his influence, and he did not pay much attention to it.
Yandong was more particular about the bad luck, and he hoped to resolve the incident as soon as possible, "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself. Furthermore, the palace is an important place, and Anliu used to serve food, but he was extremely poisonous and even brought it to me. Those people are here... This is a serious matter, so it would be better to conduct a thorough investigation a month early, otherwise, if you delay it for a while, you may give an opportunity to people with ulterior motives!"
Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but apologize to Fudong: "It's all my fault. I have been using Anliu before, but I didn't realize her wolfish ambition!"
"That's a very strange thing." Queen Mother Yuan pretended not to have seen it, and turned to Chun Jia and said, "It's just a small matter if the food is spilled. If Aijia didn't pursue it just now, it would have passed; what if we didn't pursue it? , should Anliu commit suicide out of fear of crime... Let’s not mention the former, let’s talk about the latter, what are the people behind the scenes trying to do?”
"It won't work if you do something like that on Wanshou Festival, so why don't you just create trouble for us?"
Queen Mother Qu interjected: "Sister, maybe you can sow discord?"
Empress Dowager Yuan said calmly: "The true concubine has already said that she is grateful to the Ai family without any resentment when she makes mistakes. How can she be ruthless and protective without getting tired of the Ai family's mistakes? In this case, what is there to sow discord? Is it possible, What do I think of the Ai family?"
"Sister, I don't dare." Queen Mother Qu lowered her head and closed her eyes.
Empress Dowager Yuan stopped her and then said to Chu Chunjia, "Your Majesty, just watch the previous court. The Ai family always feels that this matter is not over yet."
Chunjia respectfully said No, and when she was about to speak, Empress Dowager Yuan said again, "Wrong, someone just came over to report that there was news from the No Palace. The Ai family was thinking, why is it such a coincidence that the Wanshou Banquet will be held tomorrow? Something unexpected happened and someone came from the palace? I don’t know if there is any connection between the two? "
She said in a nonchalant tone, "Mr. Ji has given birth. It is said that she is not twins, but two little princes."
