Chapter 275: Night Banquet Surprise Change 2
Leng Jianxiao opened his mouth, wanting to argue that he was still awake, but Miao Yinshu glared at him, so he could only continue to drink with his head down.

"Hero Leng wants to stay drunk?" Shen Yupei said with a low smile, the wine glass stretched out in front of him, lightly touched the wine glass in his hand, and drank it on his back.

"What do you think?" Leng Jianxiao asked without answering, seeing a little loneliness in each other's eyes.

However, they were tacit to each other and quickly concealed the frustration in their hearts.

When Shen Yupei was closing his eyebrows, an unknown light flashed in his eyes, looking at the empty cup in his hand, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

The small incident at the main table did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.After drinking for three rounds, someone made a coaxing call and wanted to toast the young lady who was about to marry as a bride tomorrow.So, led by Zhong Qi and Feng Xiaohong, wave after wave came to the main table to toast Miao Yinshu.

Of course, tea was replaced in Miao Yinshu's cup, but Cuigu didn't dare to slack off, after all, she could vividly remember the scene of Miss getting drunk!

The Miao Mansion is very lively, and the dinner in the palace seems to be more than bustling, but not lively enough.

It's still the old fashioned way that first the empress dowager congratulates the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then it's time for the girls in each family's boudoirs to compete to show off their talents.

Since the fifth prince Ye Feiran, who is as humble as jade, has been booked away by the high-ranking officials of the two major powers in the court, tomorrow is the day of the big wedding, but it will not affect those disappointed noble ladies to focus on the emperor again body.

Therefore, today's performance can be said to be a show of my most beautiful, soft and versatile side.

Because, I heard that there is no hope of Feng Baolin's comeback, and the empress's body is not as good as before after the shock of miscarriage in the summer resort. She probably won't have three or five years to conceive another emperor's heir.

And now the most favored concubine Yun is only one princess, and the status of the other concubines with princes is not too high, they naturally think that they can be the only one in the deep palace in next year's draft.

The wish is beautiful, but I don't know if it will come true!

The end of the talent show is the best time to drink, watch, dance and watch the moon.

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Xuande didn't know whether he was full of anticipation because next spring, his harem would be filled with some beauties again, or because of some reason, he was actually sad in his heart, so he drank so happily , and from time to time, he would invite Ye Feiran and other brothers to drink together, eat large pieces of meat, and see how deeply the brothers love each other, and the relationship is unusually harmonious.

I don't know how many glasses of wine he had drunk, Ye Feiran already felt drunk, thinking that tomorrow would be his big day, although he could only go to Shangshu Mansion to welcome his relatives in wedding clothes, but thought that he could be the master and stay overnight at Miao Yinshu's house In the room, no one dared to drink recklessly, he had already secretly poured the wine that Emperor Xuande offered him under the table.

At this moment, he pretended to drink again, and when he looked up occasionally, he saw the high-ranking empress dowager looking at him with a clear look. He couldn't help but wink mischievously at the empress dowager, hoping that she would keep it a secret. .

The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, even though she felt resentful in her heart for insisting on marrying Miao Yinshu as a concubine, she couldn't help but feel helpless because of his mischievousness at this moment.

Of course, if he wanted his actions not to be noticed by the emperor and cause unnecessary troubles, the best way would be for her, the empress mother, to persuade her to drink.

"Your majesty, you have to go to court early tomorrow, so don't drink too much wine today, so as not to cause headaches tomorrow!" The empress dowager said to Emperor Xuande with a loving face, and then told Li Nanny beside her, "Hurry up!" Go to Yushanfang and ask someone to bring the hangover soup first!"

"Yes!" Nanny Li was ordered to go to work for the emperor with a smile on her face.

And Emperor Xuande looked at the queen mother beside him with a slightly drunken head, and seemed to feel that the queen mother was very close to him tonight, as if it was the first time since Ye Feiran returned to the palace that he felt a mother's love, and he couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart. Sour, gratefully said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern!"

"Eat some vegetables to warm your stomach first!" The empress dowager acted like what an ordinary mother should do, and personally picked up a crispy pigeon leg that was still steaming from the serving, and was about to hand it to Emperor Xuande.

Suddenly, the head of the chopsticks on the silver chopsticks suddenly turned black, causing her to scream in shock, the silver chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground, and the pigeon legs also fell to the ground.

"Mother, are you alright!" Emperor Xuande was closest to the Empress Dowager, and just looked at the Empress Dowager emotionally, so, naturally, he saw the sudden scene clearly, and suddenly froze, and was frightened after caring. After the hard-fought empress dowager, he also woke up most of his wine, and immediately shouted loudly, "Come here! Tell all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, and tell the imperial guards to wait outside the palace, and bring everyone in the imperial dining room and everyone in the main hall." People are not allowed to leave without authorization!"

The order after order was announced clearly and methodically, which still showed Emperor Xuande's calmness and resolute handling in the face of danger.

His voice was not too harsh, but it made the terrified female relatives bite the handkerchiefs in their hands and dare not make a sound.And the men all had gloomy faces, waiting for the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to come in and check what happened to the pigeon's leg.In other words, was it only the pigeon leg that was poisoned, or were there other dishes that were also tampered with.

The bustling hall was so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be clearly discerned. Even though the royal brothers wanted to go up to appease the empress dowager to show their filial piety, but at this time, no one dared to leave their positions without authorization. I am afraid that it may arouse the suspicion of the emperor or be framed by others.

At the same time, everyone was secretly guessing who had the guts to tamper with the imperial banquet, and moreover, it was in the dishes in front of the empress dowager.

While waiting, the empress dowager's heart gradually calmed down, but her always kind eyes were full of suspicion at this moment, and she swept across the faces of everyone present one by one.

Judging from the many things she experienced in the harem, the poison here today was not intended to poison any of them, but the biggest purpose should be a warning.

Because, as long as there are some brains and well-informed people, they all know that although there is no need to go through the eunuch inspection of each dish for the imperial banquet, the wine glasses, teacups, dishes, and chopsticks for eating and drinking can all be used in the first place. The silver products with toxins were detected in a short time.

And the toxicity in this squab dish is very strong, that's why when she just picked up the leg meat, the silver chopsticks were already black, so that everyone present who saw her pick up the vegetables at that moment would be shocked. Can see.

So, since you don't want her life, why do you have to spend so much time to poison her?

The empress dowager was puzzled, but she also wisely chose not to tell Emperor Xuande her guess, because she wanted to see what kind of response he would make when faced with such a threat. Policy.

Ye Feiran also frowned and looked at the poisonous pigeon meat that fell on the ground, a bad premonition flashed in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why, so he could only calm down and watch the changes.

Everyone present had their own thoughts and ideas, but they all wisely chose to remain silent, just waiting for the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to arrive.

After a while, all the people who should come came.

The imperial guards surrounded the main hall tightly, from the imperial kitchen to the imperial kitchen, down to the maids and eunuchs who were cooking fires, selecting vegetables and doing miscellaneous tasks, including the palace servants who passed the dishes, all knelt down in the center of the main hall.

Tonight at the imperial hospital, all the imperial physicians who are on duty at night are holding silver needles in fear, and are inspecting the meals from the empress dowager to the ministers one by one. Every dish is carefully checked and confirmed repeatedly. The pigeon meat in front of the three people was found to be poisonous.

First of all, there is no doubt that the empress dowager is the empress dowager, and there are two other people, but they are only the children of two first-rank officials who are separated by several tables. , but separated by a lot of positions.

In this way, even if someone with a heart wants to make some rumors, it is impossible to explain at this time whether they are deliberately targeting the empress dowager.

In other words, judging from this random point, the person who poisoned did not intend to harm the Empress Dowager, but just happened to have a plate of tampered pigeon meat that happened to be placed on the Empress Dowager's table .

As for those two children, one is only thirteen years old and the other is only eight years old. Just now they thought that the empress dowager moved the chopsticks, and they could also start eating that dish of squab meat that looked delicious and delicious, but now they are scared. His face turned pale, and he shivered in his seat, and because he had been exposed to the strict education of the children of the aristocratic family since he was a child, he didn't dare to cry.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor, who was suspicious at first, was furious because of such a seemingly random arrangement without any rules. He slapped the table in front of him heavily, and the dishes on the table It jumped up in response, making a crisp sound.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" All the ministers and family members immediately left their seats and knelt down with their hearts trembling.

"Calm your anger! Where can I put my anger out?" Emperor Xuande first guessed that it might be any one of his brothers, or Ye Feiran was more suspicious, but now he wants to ask the imperial army to take the opportunity Search a few of his brothers and give them a warning not to act recklessly.

"Your servant is guilty!" When encountering danger, or finding no clues, the only thing that all officials can say in unison without prior communication, is this sentence.

When they say they are guilty, they are actually saying that they know nothing and are not guilty of anything.

Emperor Xuande has been emperor for five years, why doesn't he understand the thoughts of these courtiers.

But even if you know it, so what? Although he inherited the throne without any risk by relying on being the empress dowager's son, behind every royal family, how could the brothers be in harmony with each other and help him to the throne without any selfishness? of.

It's not that he is suspicious, but that all kings, no matter whether they were princes before ascending the throne, or emperors after ascending the throne, still cannot be free from suspicion.

What's more, the queen mother who has always loved him the most suddenly treats Ye Feiran far more than his own son, so once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and germinate.Whether the growth rate is fast or not depends on whether there are many doubtful places.

"Investigate! Give me a good investigation! If you don't find out the ugly Yinmao tonight, everyone will not leave the palace!" Yes, it must be investigated, no matter what important things he has tomorrow, which threatens the safety of him and the empress dowager Things must be thoroughly investigated.

As soon as Emperor Xuande's words came out, the kneeling people in His Highness couldn't help but gasped. They had no other thoughts but only cared that tonight would be a sleepless night.Some people can see something inside, no matter what the motive of the person who poisoned this time is, it seems that he is giving the emperor a chance to let the Fifth Prince, who has been honored and favored since returning to Beijing, suffer an indescribable pain. Dismount Mawei.

Of course, there are still many people who disagree, such as Prime Minister Feng, Shangshu Yun, and Ye Feiran and the Empress Dowager who have more opinions.

"Your Majesty..." Tomorrow is Ye Feiran's big day, and it is also a good day for his daughter to marry into the Fifth Prince's Mansion as a concubine. Even if Yun Shangshu wants to avoid this troubled water, he can't let the emperor go down like this. To save face for him and the Fifth Prince, he exchanged glances with his arch-rival, Prime Minister Feng, and said, "Of course, those who disturbed the palace banquet today will be thoroughly investigated, but tomorrow will be the day when the Fifth Prince is very happy. I still can't find out why, and it has delayed the marriage of the Fifth Prince, I'm afraid it's hard to explain this matter!"
