Chapter 93
"Really?" Xianhui couldn't see her face, but she could feel the unusual hotness on her body, "Maybe I drank too much wine just now." She glanced at Zhou Qiao complainingly, "It's because you are naughty. I don't notice that much wine. But... Fruit wine is not intoxicating, why should I..."

Her figure swayed, panic flashed in her eyes, and she felt more and more wrong!
It was as if the alcohol had rushed up, not to mention a fire in my heart, it was still so hot that it was hard to breathe, and my eyelids began to twitch -- the memory of being drugged and lost my innocence in the previous life is really unforgettable!The first reaction is that there is something wrong with the wine!Someone must be trying to harm him. I don't know what it is, but it's right to make yourself look ugly.

"Fourth aunt, fourth aunt..." Zhou Qiao's anxious voice sounded from the side.

Xian Hui's eyes widened, her mind was buzzing, and she couldn't hear what she said clearly.Out of fear of the memory of the previous life, he forced himself to stand up, and walked straight towards Gao Chen who was opposite him under the surprised eyes of everyone!That was her instinctive first reaction, she felt that that handsome and handsome man was absolutely safe.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped again, no...he is no longer.

At that moment, despair, helplessness, and sadness rushed towards her, and an uncontrollable mist floated in front of her eyes, blurring her vision.Her body was staggering, standing alone in the middle of the hall, swaying, no one can believe it, there is no more.

She pulled out the golden hairpin and made an instinctive final act of suicide protection.

"Gao Chen..." Xianhui called out, wanting to tell him, "Send me back to Shao's house in Jiangdu..." Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the boundless chaos and darkness suddenly hit him, his body softened, and he fell to the ground .At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he felt as if he fell into a steady and powerful embrace, and then fell into a coma.

"Ah! What happened to the fourth daughter-in-law?"

"My God?!"

In the main hall, chattering voices suddenly rang out.

The ice in Gao Chen's heart was hit hard again by that soft woman.I made an almost cruel and ruthless choice, and for the sake of future strategies, I didn't give her any explanation.This made her trust in herself completely collapsed. At the most dangerous time, she no longer believed in herself, but chose to commit suicide and leave in despair.

Trusting a person is difficult, difficult, and being destroyed is just a snap of the fingers.

He lowered his head and looked at the beautiful little face in his arms, with beautiful features and radiant skin. The winter sunshine fell on her cheeks, as if she had been sprinkled with a fine layer of golden powder.But at this moment, she quietly closed her eyes, with unconcealable sadness in the corners of her eyes and brows, which made people feel moved.

"Okay, why did you faint all of a sudden?" Queen Zhou came down and asked in surprise.

"Perhaps I drank too much." Gao Chen suppressed his slightly fluctuating mood, and said, "I'll carry her to the back to rest first, and then let the imperial doctor come over to take a look." He apologized, "It's my son who didn't tell Xianhui to be good. , let her disturb the interest of the royal father and the queen mother, and also disturb everyone."

Zhou Qiao probed his head, and said timidly: "It's my fault, I secretly poured more wine for Fourth Aunt just now."

Gao Chen knew in his heart that this had nothing to do with his niece, but what she said made the matter seem more reasonable.

Princess Wuyang came over, "I told you to be quiet and disobedient." Because her daughter took the initiative to admit her mistake, she had to reprimand: "I'll deal with you later!"

"Forget it, Xianhui is just drunk." Queen Zhou smoothed things over and said, "Fourth, take her to sober up first."

"Yes." Gao Chen took Xianhui in his arms and said goodbye.

Princess Wuyang had no choice but to pull Zhou Qiao and follow her. She left the hall and reprimanded her, "I've never seen such a naughty person like you!" Will be drunk?I have to go and see for myself, what the hell is Xianhui doing?I can't let my daughter take the blame for nothing.

Because it is easy to have trouble in such a lively place today, the imperial doctor was waiting not far away, and rushed over quickly.Across a veil curtain, after the veil was put on, Xian Hui's pulse was cut, "Well, the pulse is indeed beating a little fast, as if drunk."

Princess Wuyang was not very happy to hear that, "She drank fruit wine."

"Fruit wine?" The imperial physician stood up and replied to Princess Wuyang through the screen: "This is absolutely impossible. Judging from Princess Jing's pulse, it seems that she drank at least half a catty of white wine."

Princess Wuyang sneered disdainfully, "How can a woman drink baijiu? Why don't you say it's sorghum shochu?"

This is to ridicule the imperial physician's vulgarity and rudeness. The emperor and the empress attend a grand banquet at the same time. Which thing is not so precious that they dare to present it?Ordinary things are simply not on the table.

The imperial physician blushed, "But, but the pulse is like this..."

"That's because your medical skills are not good!"

The imperial physician was in a hurry, "Princess Wuyang doesn't believe it, you can call another imperial physician to come over and have a look." Being suspected of medical skills, what will the imperial physician do in the future?How to walk in the palace?Maybe I will lose my head.

"Forget it, don't quarrel yet." Gao Chen interrupted the conversation just right, and called an imperial doctor over, without saying what the situation was, only asked him to check the pulse, and then asked: "How? Is there a problem."

The imperial doctor who came in later said: "There is no major problem, but Princess Jing drank a little too much alcohol, and her alcohol concentration was too high, so she lost her mind and fainted."

"I'll just say..." the imperial physician at the front muttered softly, quite unconvinced.

Princess Wuyang was also confused when she heard this.

No way, the two imperial physicians were both misdiagnosed, right?Such a small matter is not enough.

Zhou Qiao interjected: "But, it's not right." She looked puzzled, "I have been sitting with my fourth aunt, and she only drank a few glasses of fruit wine, and she definitely didn't drink white wine."

The two imperial physicians looked at each other, their eyes flickering.

The imperial physician in front hesitated and said, "Can you take a look at the jug and wine glass?"

When you look at it, you can see that there is a problem.

The wine was indeed fruit wine, but the huanghuali wine glass had been soaked in potion—not poison, so it would definitely be detected by the silver needle.The imperial doctor sniffed it carefully, and confirmed again and again, "It should be mugwort leaf water. Originally, it might be used in fruit wine to promote the fusion of flavors, but it should not be used too much. Otherwise, it will easily lead to deficiency of yin and hyperactivity of fire and blood dryness." Fever, she passed out drunk like Prince Jing."

"Ai Ye Shui?" Princess Wuyang's face sank immediately, "Okay, you guys get out first." After the imperial doctor left, she also drove away her daughter Zhou Qiao, and said angrily: "Fourth, today's banquet It's all handled by the princess!"

The current situation is a bit special.

During the time of the first emperor, there had never been a crown prince, and the last two generations of emperors had few heirs, and they were also a single seedling who barely passed on the throne, so the prince's mansion was not renovated.

Now, the Prince's Mansion, which is being rearranged, was where Emperor Taizong lived when he was the Prince, but it has not been tidied up yet.So right now, Gao Dun's family lives in the Chongwen Hall in the northwest corner of the palace.At the beginning of the new dynasty, and Empress Zhou was too busy with the conferring ceremony, so the banquet was presided over by the princess.

Gao Chen's eyes shone coldly, but he held back and didn't say a word.

Princess Wuyang couldn't help it, "What do you mean by the princess? I deliberately let Xianhui drink to the top..." His tone paused, his eyes flashed with shock and anger, "No wonder Xianhui has a bad temper today. , and slapped her across the face, so it was for this reason."

In this way, the grievances between Xiaohe and the fourth couple will become deeper and deeper.

Furthermore, Xianhui lost her composure, so it's hard to say that she wouldn't say something inappropriate.At this kind of banquet today, the royal father and the queen mother will inevitably have a bad impression, especially the royal father, it is hard to say that they might be suspicious.

Counting from left to right, it is the crown princess who reaps the benefits of the fisherman!
"Okay." Princess Wuyang said angrily: "She is really a good idea, this is just to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Gao Chen said with a serious expression: "Xianhui doesn't drink too much, if not... I'm afraid I won't faint."

The subtext is that if Xian Hui hadn't fainted, it would have been even more difficult to discover the concubine's conspiracy.When the time comes, it will be all the fault of Xianhui's impetuous temper. Not only did she take advantage of her words, but she also slapped Xiaohe, and she has to bear all the mistakes alone.

"I'll go find her!" Princess Wuyang was about to leave.

"Elder Sister, don't be impulsive," Gao Chen stretched out his hand to hold his elder sister, "No matter what, don't make a fuss on a day like this, lest father and queen mother will be unhappy. Besides, we don't have any real evidence, what about sister-in-law? Will you admit it? If it gets too big, it will not only hurt the face of the elder brother, but also the father..." He hesitated, "and suspect that I am losing my temper."

Princess Wuyang was startled when she heard the words.

That's right, the relationship between the fourth brother and the eldest brother is a bit tense right now, because in everyone's eyes, it is the crown prince who has robbed Prince Jing of the position of crown prince!And the father, after relying on the fourth younger brother to ascend the throne, and being influenced by the words of the courtiers around him, he will inevitably be a little suspicious, and the relationship between father and son has also changed.

Gao Chen smiled wryly, "Fortunately, nothing happened to Xian Hui."

The corners of Princess Wuyang's mouth opened. Apart from her anger, she suddenly felt sad.

That proud and handsome young brother was able to go to the battlefield and win the world, why should he endure humiliation so much now?And even if he bends his back and lowers his head, no one will appreciate it.

"No! Do what you want." Princess Wuyang was born with a clear distinction between love and hate, good and evil, and she had a kind of arrogance and domineering that was raised since childhood. How could she bear her sister-in-law to slander her brother?The princess is not well, so what if there is a fight?It's a big deal to change to a princess!Immediately sneered, "You don't cause trouble, but you can't still let others bully you!"

Gao Chen wanted to persuade her again, "Elder Sister..."

"You don't need to talk about it." Princess Wuyang frowned and said, "I have a sense of propriety, and I won't rush to quarrel directly. It's really inconvenient for you to come forward in this matter. Just wait, I'll tell the queen mother, and let the queen send someone to investigate At least...you can't be wronged for nothing." She flicked her sleeves and went out.

Gao Chen fell silent with a complex expression.

Taking advantage of his sister made him feel uncomfortable.

——The house of the ruthless emperor since ancient times.

Unexpectedly, Prince Qing's Mansion finally came to this step.

Once the road of fighting for imperial power begins, it is like an arrow that cannot be turned back.If you turn your head back, there will be an abyss beneath your feet, and even after you fall to pieces, you will have a bad smell for thousands of years!

What's wrong with me?How can he be willing to give in step by step, swallow his anger, until he is ruined and dies?
In today's situation, not to mention father's suspicion and fear of him, nor to elder brother's complicated and alienated, just to say that the courtiers around them will never let him go.In their eyes, Prince Jing, who holds military power in his hands, threatens the emperor and the prince, and is a person who may usurp the throne at any time!
If you don't get rid of it for a day, you will have to sleep peacefully for a day.

Just a few days ago, they had already started to play, asking the emperor to withdraw the military power in his hands, so that he could rest and recuperate, so as not to overwork himself.Hehe, such a ridiculous excuse can also be found!Father didn't agree to play, but because there are too many things to do right now, and the situation is unstable, he hasn't made an order yet.

But sooner or later.

And after he handed over his military power, the next step is probably to let himself stay away from the capital.

If the matter only ended here, I might be able to bear it, but looking at the royal struggles throughout the ages, anyone who successfully overthrew the previous dynasty's rebellion, apart from being the emperor, would have to die to thank the world.

As for the people around them, it was the same.

Gao Chen leaned against the bed and closed his eyes for a while, then looked at Xian Hui who was sleeping peacefully, her face was still bright red after being drunk, stroked her blue hair, and sighed softly: "Xian Hui Hui, I won't let you die with me."

So... Even if you can't understand at the moment, or even feel resentful, I will not change my decision.

"Is there something wrong with Xian Hui's wine?" Empress Zhou asked angrily in shock.

"Yes." Princess Wuyang was in a complicated and uncomfortable mood, "That's it, the fourth child still stopped me from saying anything, saying that I had nothing to prove, my sister-in-law would not admit it, he was afraid..." The voice gradually became weaker Go on, "Let the elder brother be more careful, let the father be more caring."

Empress Zhou's body softened, and she slumped in the chair, turning her head away slowly with an ugly expression.

The most uncomfortable person caught in the middle is none other than her.Husband, eldest son, and youngest son, like three fierce horses, each tied a horn to her heart, and then wrestled with each other, causing her pain in left and right.

Empress Zhou thought for a moment, "Otherwise, let the fourth son return to Jiangdu earlier." It's also good to separate, so that the father and son brothers will not turn against each other in the end, "If you can't see it, you won't be bothered."

"No." Princess Wuyang shook her head, "Jiangdu is where the old forces of Prince Qing's mansion are located. The fourth brother is familiar with the way, and has led soldiers in battle before. If you agree, the courtiers will not agree. I thought about it carefully, if I were a fan, the fourth child would have to go to a remote place like Liaozhou."

Empress Zhou suddenly said angrily: "They dare?! Don't even think about it, who is this world..."

"Mother!" Princess Wuyang exclaimed in shock: "Don't say such things, don't even think about it. In case when the mother speaks, don't Xiu Aoxin bring out a slight tendency to let the father Misunderstanding with the eldest brother will really kill the fourth brother."

Empress Zhou's eyes flashed and flickered complicatedly, and finally bit her lip, without saying another word.

"Nowadays, the most important thing is to find out the villain who plotted against the fourth couple first."

Empress Zhou gradually calmed down. That's right, the relationship between the husband and the youngest son was tense enough, how could it stand up to the little people sowing discord?Those villains really shouldn't be left behind.

Princess Wuyang couldn't hate Emperor Qing and Gao Dun, but she had no scruples about resentment towards the Crown Princess, "Tang used to calculate Xianhui's innocence, disregarding his elder brother's reputation, and later mixed up with Shao Tongyun. Even Up to now, she has taken advantage of it and become a princess, but she still refuses to settle down, and still plots against the fourth couple. How can such a person deserve to be a princess?! Therefore, this matter must be investigated carefully. "

Empress Zhou was silent for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, "A thorough investigation!"

It didn't take long to trace the eunuch who was in charge of the utensils on the banquet.Only the eunuch, who has the key to the treasury, can easily do things alone.As for the others, they acted in full view, and the possibility of tampering was almost zero.

Now that there is no division of power in the Six Palaces, Empress Zhou has no scruples and directly asks the eunuch to be interrogated.

"Go back to Empress, the steward in charge of utensils hanged himself as soon as he heard that someone was searching."

"Are you idiots?!" Queen Zhou said angrily.

The person in charge of the search trembled, and hurriedly added: "But in the closet of his room, I found a woman." He quickly brought the person up, "Perhaps, we can interrogate this woman..."

Empress Zhou originally wanted to punish the palace servants, but when she saw the woman, her face changed drastically, "You...it's you!"

Princess Wuyang screamed even more, "How could it be you?!" She seemed to see a ghost, and panicked: "Are you a human or a ghost? Haven't you been burned to death? How, how could you be in the palace?" ?!"

Xianhui was groggy and didn't know how long she had slept.

She opened her eyes, expecting to see Gao Chen's figure, but she didn't see anyone.Can't help but smile wryly, what else do you want him for?Even if he hugged himself on the spot, so what?That's just a show under the watchful eyes of everyone.

It's really embarrassing for him. He used to play with himself for so long.

Now that I tear my face apart, I don't even have the patience to say a word.When he flirted with himself, he simply excused himself to be busy, hid in the study and never met each other, and settled the matter coldly.Thinking of this, it is inevitable that there is an unconcealable resentment in my heart.Then he scolded himself bitterly, "Spineless? What else do you care about when others ignore you?! Throwing away those illusory and far-fetched things, and being a good concubine Jing, you can bring a lot to your family." The benefits."
