Chapter 386 Chapter 387 [Two more in one] Self-exposure

After hearing the explanation, Concubine Qi's face didn't change for the better, and she carried the child from Xiao Chengshao's hand, keeping away from Xiao Chengshao like hiding from the plague.

"Xiaoyue, hurry up and come to Ben Gong."

I'm afraid that Ying Wuyue will be too close to Xiao Chengshao, and he will do something to him.

Zhong Ji took Xiao Chengshao and Bai Jiu to burn incense on the King Yan Lingpai, and two waves of people entered the hall one after the other.

In the palace, the prince, queen, and concubines have already sat down.

"Concubine Qi, you are late."

When the queen saw Concubine Qi holding the child, she said something with a half-hearted smile.

All the children in the harem can only be born under her nodding instructions.

Only the evil in Concubine Qi's arms was an accident!

God was unfair, she actually let her get a boy in one fell swoop and give birth to a prince.

However, it doesn't matter now.

Even if she gave birth to a pair of princes, it would not stop her prince from ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

After tonight, this big swallow is in the pocket of her emperor!And she is the empress dowager!
The first thing she has to do is to drag Concubine Qi and the evil seed in her arms to be buried with the late emperor!
When Concubine Qi heard the words, she didn't say anything, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the queen, "I have made mistakes, please punish the queen."

What punishment is there, he is about to die.

The queen smiled and avoided her kneeling.

"Okay, today everyone is here to see King Yan off for the last time, so why not punish him, Qi Concubine, please take your seat quickly."

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

Concubine Qi took Ying Wuyue to the back seat and sat down.

Now her status is only a concubine. Originally, when she gave birth to a prince, according to the ancestral system, she would be given a promotion. Now that the emperor is in a coma, the matter has been shelved.

However, sitting in the back is better than being in the back, Ying Wuyue can unscrupulously look at the ministers and concubines who came to participate in Yanwang Weiqi.

The throne in the middle of the banquet was vacant, the queen was sitting on the left, and the crown prince was sitting a little lower on the opposite side of the queen.

What's interesting is that on such a grand occasion, the one sitting next to the prince is not the princess, but A Ruo, who doesn't know what it is.

"Mother, my sister suddenly fell ill today and couldn't come. My daughter-in-law came here for her."

The queen nodded with a smile, that appearance, no matter how you look at it, is forced.

Besides, the princes and ministers who were seated, except for the princelings, were all like eggplants beaten by frost, with sad faces.

Especially when Zhong Ji brought Bai Jiu and Xiao Chengshao forward to salute the prince, those ministers looked at Zhong Ji almost sparkling.

Except for the prince, the other princes were all absent for various reasons.

At first glance, the prince looked like a new emperor in every respect except that he was not sitting where the emperor should be.

Soon, the ministers of the princeling party began to toast the prince.

The first to bear the brunt was Qi Concubine's father, Bai Zhonglin.

Bai Zhonglin, who was deposed from his position by Xiao Chengshao, transformed into a letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The celebrity in front of the crown prince was instantly in the spotlight. Even the queen's father, the right minister, now had to give him a little favor.

Concubine Qi sat in the corner under the stage, her face turned pale.

Since she entered the hall, Bai Zhonglin acted as if he hadn't seen her, and didn't even say hello to her.

Bai Zhonglin really doesn't want to recognize her as a daughter anymore!

Concubine Qi hugged the Seventh Prince tightly in her arms, lowered her head, not knowing what to think.

At this time, someone suddenly stood up, pointed in the direction of the prince and asked: "His Royal Highness, how is the emperor recently, can you let me wait for a visit."

Ying Wuyue looked for the voice, and it turned out to be her old acquaintance, Pei Xiao, Minister of Dali Temple.

Not seeing each other for a month, Pei Xiao became haggard and fierce.

A black robe made him look like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

Standing straight in the hall, with resolute eyes, he approached the prince straight, neither humble nor overbearing.

In an instant, all the voices in the hall stopped abruptly, and several eyes shot at him.

The prince held the wine glass to his lips, and was about to drink, when he was startled by Pei Xiao's voice for a moment, his hand trembled, and the wine spilled out.

Ah Ruo put his hands on his knees, and the expression of the crown prince who was startled by Pei Xiao instantly returned to normal. He put down his glass and said, "Aiqing remembers my father's illness. I am deeply moved, but my father is suffering from a serious illness. It's not suitable to meet people yet, wait..."

"Is it inappropriate to see people or you don't want him to see people at all?"

Pei Xiao interrupted the prince sharply.

"Pei Xiao, you are presumptuous!"

Bai Zhonglin was the first to stand up, pointing at Pei Xiao's nose and cursing.

"Today, everyone gathered in the palace to see off King Yan for his last journey. You accuse the crown prince indiscriminately, and you regard it as a treason. Someone, come and detain Pei Xiao!"

Suddenly, a group of Imperial Forest Army wearing light armor poured out of the hall.

The banquet atmosphere instantly became tense.

Pei Xiao didn't even wrinkle his eyelids, and met Bai Zhonglin's seemingly annoyed but flustered eyes.

"Master Bai, you want to drive me out so quickly, what are you afraid of?
I heard that the emperor's condition has been diagnosed and treated by you and the side concubine together, and even the imperial hospital cannot intervene.

It happens that everyone is here today, why don't you tell everyone, what kind of disease does the emperor have? "

Pei Xiao's words reached the heart of the non-princeling ministers, and someone stood up immediately.

"That's right, the emperor has been ill for so long, so he doesn't accept anyone's audience. He doesn't even say what kind of illness he has. Usually, even the empresses in the harem don't see the emperor. Only you, the prince, and your concubine and old father-in-law can." Contact the emperor. Since we are not allowed to see him, the emperor should give us an explanation of what disease he has."

As soon as the Imperial Forest Army came in, they went straight to Pei Xiao's direction.

However, when Pei Xiao was young, he had served in the Imperial Forest Army for a while, and everyone was his colleague, and the guard leader of the Imperial Forest Army was also his first master in martial arts.

Goodbye to Tu'er, but in such a situation, the attack was naturally not as sharp as catching the criminals. This delay just gave the other ministers time to clamor.

When one person stood up, a group of people responded.

The quiet and silent hall suddenly burst into chatter.

In the palace are all humerus ministers who have assisted the emperor. Although their political opinions are at odds with the prince, they cannot be punished together.

Faced with the constant questioning from this group of people, the prince's face became darker and darker, and the atmosphere around him became more and more stagnant.

At this moment, Ah Ruo who was sitting next to the prince suddenly got up.

"Ministers, stay safe and don't be impatient."

The hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Ah Ruo in unison.

"Actually, the emperor's illness—"

All the people present, apart from the minister who made a fuss just now, as well as concubines, princelings, imperial forest army, including a group of servants serving the masters, all looked curious and listened with ears pricked up.

Seeing that Ah Ruo was talking, he suddenly paused, and then stroked his head with his hand, as if he had a headache, he pressed hard on his temple a few times.

"My side concubine, what disease does the emperor have? Why hasn't he recovered for a long time?" Pei Xiao asked forcefully.

"Ah?" Ah Ruo seemed startled by Pei Xiao's voice, looked up blankly, then pointed at the prince, and said in a daze: "The emperor drank the ginseng tea poisoned by the prince, without antidote, he can't wake up. "
