Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

Dressed in a dark purple brocade silk palace dress, with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on the hem, wearing a red fox scarf, a pure white fox fur windbreaker, and a simple bun made of three thousand blue silk hair with only a golden phoenix in flight. Hairpin, the bright light shines on her beautiful and refined face, exuding a soft light, and her eyes are bright and shining as she stares at her. She is suspected to be a fairy from the sky. She does not need makeup to be gorgeous.

The elderly people think of the most beautiful woman in the world at that time, and can't help but sigh: the ninth princess is more beautiful than her mother!

Everyone stopped talking and quickly returned to their seats and knelt down to salute: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor! May the ninth princess live a thousand years!"

"Pingshen!" Emperor Huiwen and Qingyun sat down on the dragon chair.

Due to the hard work she had done some time ago, Concubine Yu felt slightly unwell in the past two days and did not attend tonight's banquet. The Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law was pregnant, so Qingyun asked Sixth Brother to take care of the two of them in Yuhua Palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked him and then sat down.

Starry eyes swept over the crowd, and Emperor Huiwen said clearly with a smile on his face: "Today is the New Year festival that is celebrated by the whole world, so there is no need for everyone to be too formal. Come, bring over the newly tributed Jinbo wine. I want to drink it with you all!" "

Soon, a group of elegantly dressed palace maids filed in holding wine bottles and filled everyone's wine cups one after another.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone was delighted.

You must know that Jinbo wine is the royal wine. The wine has a golden luster, an elegant and delicate aroma, a refreshing smell, a lingering aroma after drinking, and not everyone can taste it easily.

Even though they usually compete with each other, at this time everyone put aside their grudges and exchanged cups, and the atmosphere seemed lively and peaceful for a while.

Playing with the wine cup in his hand, Qingyun's clear eyes calmly circulated among the people, and his eyes contained a radiance that was brighter than candlelight and the stars and the moon.

Zhi Lan, who was sitting quietly in her seat, was still beautiful, but she seemed to be much thinner. Although she tried her best to hide it, she still caught a hint of melancholy between Zhi Lan's brows, especially Qiu He's overly careful look on Zhi Lan. She had to be suspicious.

It is said that the two families are closely related, and Zhi Lan is a royal princess. No matter how bold the prime minister is, he will not treat Zhi Lan harshly. Could it be Lin Tao?

After waving his hand to summon Zike, Qingyun whispered a few words in her ear, and then Zike left quietly.

Zhang Lianwu always has a dignified and quiet posture, but it also makes people unable to see her thoughts.

Ignoring Sima Chun, who had been staring at her intensely since she arrived, Qingyun looked steadily at Lin Yiwei on his left.

According to reports from informants in Prince Chun's Mansion, after Lin Yiwei forcibly took Mingyue away in front of Zhang Lianwu, she did not restrict Mingyue's freedom, but she did not care. I really don't know what Lin Yiwei's intention was?

Perhaps Qingyun's eyes were too focused, and Lin Yiwei, who had her eyes slightly lowered, suddenly raised her head to look at her, with a friendly smile on her face. Qingyun naturally smiled back and turned her eyes to the side. The only one with a different surname is Wang Zhongwu, Gong Yuanhao, as well as Pingyang Hou Zhouji and Wu'an Hou Wang Ninghai.

King Zhongwu was about fifty years old, with clear eyes and slanting eyebrows. His whole face looked very handsome, giving people a majestic feeling.

Gong Yuanhao's father was a general who was good at conquering and fighting. The late emperor died while rescuing his imperial commander who was unfortunately trapped during his own expedition. The late emperor was grateful for his role in rescuing his imperial commander and granted him the title of King Zhongwu, with Gong Yuanhao inheriting the throne.

Perhaps because of Cheng Yin's father's legacy, Gong Yuanhao kept a very low profile, except for important national events or the Spring Festival and Emperor Huiwen's birthday. He stayed in seclusion all year round.

As for Pingyang Hou Yingwu and Wu'an Hou Ruya, they seem to be several years younger than King Zhongwu.

Twenty-one years ago, when the late emperor passed away and was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, the late emperor's half-brother King Wen raised troops to rebel, intending to seize the country. General Dingyuan Zhou Ji, who was ordered to return to the capital by King Qin, led his soldiers to fight to the death to stop the rebels. , and Wang Ninghai, who was then the commander of Jing Zhaoyin and joined the army, united the people to block the rebels outside the city gate, and supported Emperor Huiwen to the throne.

Afterwards, Emperor Huiwen rewarded Wang Ninghai based on his merits, and granted Wang Ninghai the title of Marquis of Wu'an. Zhou Ji granted him the title of Marquis of Pingyang but withdrew his military power.

It is said that the relationship between the two families is not very good. It seems that Zhou Ji, who has outstanding military achievements, looks down on Wang Ninghai, who has served in the army. Zhou Tao and Wang Ming also dislike each other. They often provoke each other and cause trouble. Last time, they went to the street for Yan Nuo. A big fight.

It's just that...

"Father, the Ninth Princess..."

A gentle and respectful voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Qingyun's meditation and the excitement in the banquet hall. Everyone turned their eyes and saw Xu Kexin kneeling in the middle holding a food box: "On this night of reunion of thousands of families, I specially made a family snow plum cake with my own hands, made from the petals of winter plum blossoms that bloomed early this year and the snowflakes on the petals. I wish my father and the ninth princess good luck and a happy family forever!"

No one expected this to happen, and they all looked at her intently.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was so quiet that only the cold wind rustling through the flowers and trees could be heard.

Sima Rui, who was always watching Xu Kexin, had a deep glint in his eyes. He stood up, walked to her side and knelt down: "Father, in view of the princess's filial piety and good intentions, please forgive the princess for her unreasonable behavior." Then he whispered. He said to Xu Kexin: "Tonight's delicacies and drinks are prepared in the royal kitchen. Why is the princess so rude? Follow me back home quickly."

"I was so focused on honoring my father that I forgot the rules in the palace. Please forgive me." Xu Kexin was confused: Could it be that the prince noticed something and that's why he stopped her?

Emperor Huiwen looked at Xu Kexin, his eyes as deep as the bottomless ocean. Just as he was about to say something, Qingyun said clearly: "Wait a moment."

"Jiu'er..." Sima Rui looked startled.

Sima Rui smiled with worry in his eyes. Qingyun raised his eyebrows and stared at Xu Kexin, who had her head lowered and couldn't see her expression clearly. He keenly caught the slight tremor she was trying to hide all over her body, and the hand holding the food box was a little tight and light. Yun slightly raised the corners of his lips with a faint smile, and turned to look at Emperor Huiwen.

"Father, the dim sum made by Sanhuang's sister-in-law is a hundred times more delicious than the one made by Wangyuelou chef. Father, do you want to try it?"

Emperor Huiwen looked at his beloved daughter with a deep gaze and a smile: "Is it really that delicious?"

"It's so unforgettable." Qingyun winked mischievously: "If my father doesn't believe it, you can ask Third Brother. Third Brother tastes delicious food every day!"

Hearing this, Sima Qi and Sima Yue both turned to look at Sima Rui: The third brother has been eating and living in the palace since his wedding, how come he tastes the delicacies cooked by the third emperor's sister-in-law every day?

Seeing Qingyun's meaningful look, Sima Rui couldn't help but feel doubtful, but he still followed her words and said: "Return to the father, it is indeed as Jiu'er said."

"In that case, I would like to taste it."

Emperor Huiwen glanced at Leng Yi. Leng Yi immediately went down and took the food box from Xu Kexin's hand and returned to the main seat. Then he opened the lid of the food box, took out a plate of snacks and placed it on the table in front of Emperor Huiwen and Qingyun. In an instant, Waves of sweet fragrance linger in the air with the wind, making people salivate.

He picked up a piece of Tianlun Snow Plum Crispy with his silver chopsticks and put it to his mouth and took a bite. The sweet and fragrant fragrance instantly filled his mouth. Emperor Huiwen's eyes suddenly lit up. He finished the whole snack, put down his silver chopsticks and praised: "Well, it's really good! I'll reward you with an Eastern Pearl, a handle of Ruyi Jade, and a hundred taels of gold!"

"I, my concubine, would like to thank my father for the reward!" The two of them bowed and thanked them, then returned to their seats and sat down.

Glancing at Xu Kexin beside him, Sima Rui looked at Qingyun who was in the upper position. His unfathomable eyes were as dark as the sea, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Xu Kexin raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Emperor Huiwen who was eating snacks one after another. A strong panic and fear filled her heart inexplicably. She bit her lips tightly but still couldn't suppress the trembling all over her body. Her face gradually turned pale. , just as he was about to say something to stop him, Qingyun and Leng Yi suddenly heard exclamations of surprise.

"Father, what are you doing?"

"Quickly send the imperial doctor! Quickly!"

Emperor Huiwen, who had been still energetic just now, suddenly vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood, then closed his eyes and fell slumped on the dragon chair. His face instantly turned as pale as snow, and his lips turned purple. He was obviously poisoned!

Everyone was frightened when they saw it: "Your Majesty..."

Staring straight at Xu Kexin, whose face was as white as paper, Sima Rui's dark pupils contained a cold and icy light, and he said two words coldly: "Antidote!"

"No, I'm not my concubine!" Facing his shocked and piercing gaze, Xu Kexin felt as if she was in a ten-thousand-year cold pool, with biting coldness from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, even her teeth were trembling: "Really, really not Guan Chen, the matter of my concubine!"

"Father was poisoned after eating the snacks you made. If it wasn't you, who else could it be!"

Following Zhang Lianwu's stern accusation, everyone glared at Xu Kexin, forcing her to hand over the antidote, and asked Sima Rui to put her in a prison to correct the law, and even implicate the nine clans.

Sima Qi and Sima Yue looked at Xu Kexin with expressions of disbelief and shock.

They couldn't believe that the Sanhuang's sister-in-law, who had always been gentle and virtuous, would do such a treacherous thing! But with the facts in front of them, they couldn't help but not believe it!

Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun keenly saw the calmness and inscrutability passing through Qingyun's eyes, and they looked at each other thoughtfully.

At this time, a eunuch who went to ask for the imperial doctor came over in a panic and said in a hurry: "Tell the Ninth Princess that the two imperial doctors on duty at the imperial hospital are too drunk to wake up and cannot come... .”

"You dare to get drunk while on duty, it is an unforgivable crime!" Leng Yi shouted angrily: "What are you doing here? Why don't you quickly find a way to wake up the imperial doctor? If you delay the diagnosis and treatment of the emperor, you will have ten heads. Not enough to cut!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" The eunuch, whose face turned pale, hurried to the Imperial Hospital.

Everyone in the banquet hall was still denounced Xu Kexin's crimes and forced Sima Rui to enforce the law.

"Shut up!" Seeing the fleeting dark gleam in Zhang Lianwu's eyes, a vague sneer flashed across Qingyun's lips, and then her clear eyes passed over the indignant people one by one, and finally Staying on Xu Kexin, her clear tone revealed majesty and sorrow: "Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors, I am so grateful that I trust you and respect you so much. You really let me down!"

When Xu Kexin heard this, she was immediately panicked. She stumbled to the middle and knelt on the ground: "Please tell me from the Ninth Princess, it really is none of my concubine's business!"

"Now that the matter has come to this, do you still want to use sophistry? As long as you hand over the antidote, I will plead with my father and spare your family!"

"No, that's not the case!" Xu Kexin was already in a state of confusion and kept kowtowing in defense: "I beg the Ninth Princess to have mercy on me, I, I don't have an antidote..."

"Obviously poison is mixed in the snacks, but you say there is no antidote. Do you think I will believe it?"

"I really don't have an antidote..."

"Of course Princess Rui has no antidote!"

A cold and cold voice suddenly sounded, and everyone realized that a large group of masked men in black had suddenly appeared around them, surrounding them. The swords in their hands shone with an icy cold light in the light of the lights and stars and moon.

"The bold thief dares to break into the palace without permission. Come and capture all the thieves!" Leng Yi ordered loudly.

The three Sima Yue brothers and those present who had learned martial arts wanted to get up and kill the man in black, but they suddenly realized that they were all weak and fell limply on their seats. Their expressions changed drastically: "What's going on? Why do we have so much internal power?

Can’t unite?”

"You guys, it's better not to waste your efforts."

The leading man in black looked at the people who could not move, and said with a wild smile: "Your wine was laced with Ruanjinsan, but don't worry, I will make your death less painful! Also, all the Imperial Guards

You and everyone in the palace are all controlled by our people. They can't save you at all. Now the entire palace belongs to us! Hahahaha..."

"I wonder when and how your Excellency drank Ruanjin San in the wine?" Qingyun leaned slightly on the armrest of the dragon chair, her beautiful face as calm as water.

Hearing this, the man in black suppressed his laughter and looked at Qingyun: "Since the Ninth Princess wants to know so much, I will kindly tell the Ninth Princess and make you understand! Come out, the Ninth Princess wants to see you."

As the man in black finished speaking, one man slowly walked out from among the eunuchs standing behind Emperor Huiwen. He was of medium height, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He turned out to be Yuan Dong, one of Emperor Huiwen's most valued personal eunuchs.

"You must have been the one who secretly made father drunk!" Qingyun looked at Yuan Dong, her tone of voice was affirmative, not questioning.

Yuan Dong walked slowly to the side of the man in black, looked at Qingyun with bottomless black eyes, and said with a smile: "The Ninth Princess is really smart as ice and snow, and she is indeed a slave!"

"You are the workman of Juechen Palace who works by your father's side!"

"Yes!" Yuan Dong's face had long since lost the usual humility and humility, replaced by a look of arrogance.

"Very good!" Qingyun stopped looking at Yuan Dong, turned to look at the man in black with a cold and sinister look, and said in a confidential manner: "Your Excellency is really powerful!"

The man in black didn't think so at all: "The Ninth Princess deserves the prize!"

Xu Kexin, whose expression had changed since Yuan Dong appeared, pointed at him angrily: "A few days ago, you were the one who falsely told me that the concubine was going to summon me to the Mingde Hall, and you were the one who poisoned my father by giving me the food box!"
