As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the matter was serious. If the emperor really took the sword, they would never quit without seeing blood today. I am afraid that other people at the banquet would also survive. All the courtiers knelt down to persuade them, and the queen was also afraid, so she quickly stood up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's just one or two self-righteous courtiers, it's not worth your anger. If you can't get angry, just let the guards put them in prison, why bother?" Do you do it yourself?"
Many people pulled, but the emperor barely controlled it and sat back to his original position. Seeing all this, Xu Shilang felt that it was extremely absurd. He tried to persuade the emperor to save wine and sex, but was insulted by villains. Even the empress lightly characterized his behavior as "self-righteous".
Xu Shilang found it ridiculous and sad, this is the emperor of Northern Qi, this is the queen of Northern Qi, the foundation of several generations of the Murong family will be ruined like this. Xu Shilang was disheartened, and said: "Don't bother the imperial guards. Since the queen said that the old minister was unfaithful, then the minister will commit suicide and apologize, so as not to stain the eyes of the queen and the prime minister."
After Xu Shilang finished speaking, he slammed into the pillars on the palace. Yu Qingjia sat far away, and the arguing sounds couldn't be heard clearly, but just by the actions of those few people, one could guess what happened. She was a little worried that Xu Shilang didn't know how to adapt and suffer a disadvantage. She hadn't settled on this idea, but suddenly saw Xu Shilang rushing towards the pillar next to him, and fell to the ground with a bang, his head covered in blood. Yu Qingjia was startled and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
There were screams in the palace, Xu Shilang's head was covered with blood, Xu's nephews surrounded Xu Shilang with grief and anger on their faces, some people wanted to rush forward to argue with Yin Yikun, but they were firmly grabbed by people they knew well. The emperor was originally in high spirits, but such an incident made him feel very offended. He waved his hand impatiently, and asked someone to carry Xu Shilang down, and the eunuchs washed the blood off the ground again, and then the sound of the pipa sounded, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Qingjia clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. Of course she was angry, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs. The emperor and empress and Yin Yikun were clearly of one mind. Under such circumstances, whoever rushed out would only lose his life in vain, and it might even harm his family. Although Xu Shilang passed out, he didn't die from the collision. Afterwards, as long as he gets a good treatment, he can still come back to life. But if someone rushes out to argue at this time, then Xu Shilang's family will surely die.
This is the reality, Yu Qingjia is angry but helpless, the others can only look down at the dishes on their table, silently listening to the emperor and Yin Yikun talking and laughing, the queen also interjects from time to time, and the branches of laughter tremble. Yin Yikun said: "King Guangping's great victory is a great fortune for the country. I wish the emperor the best of luck in punishing the traitors."
Everyone present knew who the traitor Yin Yikun was talking about, and it was clearly something that hadn't happened yet, but he said it clearly. The emperor was coaxed into joy by such words, and said: "It's Aiqing who really thinks of me. This time, it's all thanks to the queen."
The queen laughed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said. I don't know how to fight, how can I be grateful to my wife?"
"Thanks to you, I gave birth to a good son."
The queen covered her lips and smiled when she heard it, and leaned towards the emperor through her sleeves, full of coquettishness. Yin Yikun picked up the wine bottle and said, "Your Majesty is right, the victory in this battle depends entirely on the queen. I respect the queen with this cup."
The queen glared at Yin Yikun with a smirk, and the emperor made fun of it, waving his hand and saying, "The queen deserves a reward for her merits. Bring my wine to the queen."
It is a great honor to be given wine by the emperor. The empress smiled happily, took the wine bottle with a coquettish smile, and said in a drawn out voice: "I thank the emperor."
The emperor and the empress laughed and laughed at the palace banquet like this. Yu Qingjia lowered her head and quietly looked at her reflection in the wine bottle. She thought, maybe it would be good to develop according to the trajectory in the dream, at least King Langya would not be as absurd as these two are now, although he is cruel and heartless.
Yu Qingjia smiled wryly after thinking of this, now she actually thinks it is okay to let the world be ruled by a tyrant. Sure enough, there are worse options for comparison, and then humans can accept everything.
Yu Qingjia saw her sapphire earrings shaking gently in the wine bottle, and suddenly there were slight ripples on the surface of the wine. Yu Qingjia looked up, just in time to see the queen covering her mouth, bright red blood continuously seeping through her fingers Seep out. The queen's eyes widened in disbelief, and she fell down slowly amidst the maid's screams.
The entire palace was silent for a moment, and then a huge scream broke out in an instant.
Yin Yikun deliberately humiliated Xu Shilang just now, which already aroused public outrage. Now seeing this scene, many officials were filled with righteous indignation, pointing at Yin Yikun and yelling: "Bold traitor, you dare to murder the queen!"
Yin Yikun's face was also extremely ugly, he didn't even bother to investigate the other people's rudeness to him, and hurried forward to check on the queen's condition. The empress was already surrounded by maids of honor, the emperor had already avoided it when something strange happened, and now he was surrounded by guards and eunuchs, standing far away, frowning at all this in front of him. The emperor's expression was cold, and he didn't have the slightest intention to step forward to check, as if it was another person who just teased the empress in public.
The imperial doctor pushed aside the crowd, focused on his pulse, and after a while, the imperial doctor stood up, bowed his hands to the emperor with a heavy face, and said, "I tell you, the empress may be poisoned."
Poisoned? The imperial doctor's words caused another commotion in the crowd. The palace banquet, the empress sat in full view, who poisoned it?
The courtiers and female relatives all had pale faces, talking in low voices to the people around them restlessly. When the Queen suddenly vomited blood just now, Yu Qingjia stood up protected by Bai Rong Baizhi and others. Now she was hidden in the crowd, looking at the queen who fell on the high platform from a distance through the gorgeous and deep palace.
Bright red blood gushed out of the queen's mouth continuously, her clothes and hands were dyed red, and she still had the luxurious appearance just now. The Queen's mouth squirmed up and down, but she couldn't say anything except spitting out more blood.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he asked coldly, "What poison?"
Many female relatives had already fainted from hearing this, and Bai Zhi also got goosebumps all over her body. She held Yu Qingjia's hand tightly, her voice trembling: "My lady."
Yu Qingjia patted Bai Zhi's hand to reassure her that she was fine. For some reason, Yu Qingjia had a strange feeling in his heart. The poison was mixed with the wine, and the queen drank it in full view, but no one noticed the strangeness. The information behind this was too scary. If the other party wanted to, wouldn't it be easy to take the emperor's life.
wrong! Yu Qingjia suddenly realized that the emperor was supposed to drink this glass of wine. It's just that Yin Yikun flattered the emperor and King Guangping, so the emperor gave this glass of wine to the queen. In other words, the person who should have fallen was the emperor, and the empress was just suffering on her behalf.
The emperor also quickly thought of this, and his face became more and more ugly. The queen raised her hand and looked eagerly in the direction of the emperor, as if she wanted to say something to the emperor, but the emperor had no intention of going forward at all. The queen's internal organs were in severe pain, as if her heart and lungs had been crushed. She couldn't hold on any longer, her hands hung down weakly, her neck was tilted back at a strange angle, and she completely lost her breath.
The queen who was flirting with others just now died like this in a moment.
This scene was too shocking, the empress of a country died in front of everyone, it made my spine tingle. Seeing the queen's death, the ministers were excited, pointing at Yin Yikun and scolding: "You traitor, how dare you poison the queen! If the queen hadn't blocked the emperor's catastrophe, the end would be unimaginable. You form a clique for personal gain, crowd out the virtuous, and now you are still committing crimes." Create chaos and intend to kill the king!"
Yin Yikun's face was as green as iron, and he shouted: "Full of nonsense! The emperor and queen trust me, and I am also loyal to the emperor. How could I do such a thing? Someone must be plotting wrongdoing, trying to frame the crime in the On me." After Yin Yikun finished speaking, he knelt down to the emperor affectionately: "Your Majesty, you must be aware."
The emperor looked at the empress's body coldly, and suddenly smiled: "The person who poisoned me was not Yin Aiqing. If it was him, why did he offer to toast? It seems that someone wants me to die."
Yin Yikun was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Your majesty is wise, such a villain must be hacked into pieces, and his body cut into pieces."
The other courtiers were not reconciled, and still came forward to state that Yin Yikun was not credible. The wine Yin Yikun toasted poisoned the queen to death. No matter how you looked at Yin Yikun, he couldn't escape the suspicion. However, even if the queen's blood was splashed on the spot, the emperor trusted Yin Yikun and protected him very much. The more the ministers talked, the more angry they became, and the whole hall became a mess. When did the female relatives see such a scene, many of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, Song Wangfei was even more frightened and frightened, she was carried down long ago. The chaos around did not affect Yu Qingjia, she looked at the messy high platform, and slowly frowned.
Something is wrong, Yu Qingjia thought to himself, this incident is not as simple as poisoning.
Leaving aside whether Yin Yikun would use such obvious means to harm people, just talking about the poison in the queen gave Yu Qingjia an extremely familiar feeling. It is colorless and tasteless, and cannot be detected when it is mixed with wine. Moreover, the poison develops quickly, and it kills immediately after touching it. Yu Qingjia couldn't help but look at Yu Qingya. These symptoms are too familiar.
Yu Qingya's face was pale, with one hand unconsciously covering her stomach. She looked at the high platform in disbelief, her face twitched slightly, obviously communicating with the system.
Sure enough, this is the poison of the system.
If it was a poison produced by the system, then the tragedy of the queen's death would be fully explained. However, this leads to another spine-chilling question, who poisoned it?
Yu Qingya didn't behave like a master envoy, and she didn't have such a motive at all. The Queen is the biological mother of King Quang Binh, and the Palace of Quang Binh now relies on the Queen. With the queen coming forward, it is of course much easier to establish a reserve. Concubine Song and Yu Qingya both racked their brains to curry favor with the queen, and Yu Qingya still had the dream that a mother is more valuable than a child. She was probably the one who most hoped that the queen would live for a few more years, and there was no reason to attack the queen.
Yu Qingjia's heart suddenly beat violently, if it wasn't Yu Qingya, who else knew about the system? About the system and Yu Qingya, Yu Qingjia only told one person.
As if slapped in the face, Yu Qingjia suddenly recalled many things. At that time, she didn't pay attention, even if she found it suspicious, she didn't think about it, but now, many signs are strung together, pointing to the same almost absurd result. At this time, a guard came running quickly outside the main hall, he knelt outside the door, and reported loudly: "Report, a letter from Dingzhou prefect, saying that King Guangping Zhongji was captured, and the rebel army has quickly moved south."
"What?" The emperor suddenly pushed away the **** beside him, pulled out the guard's knife with a bang, pointed at the soldiers outside the palace gate and shouted, "The rebels will go south? When will it be?"
"Three days ago."
"Three days ago?" The emperor couldn't believe it, and roared angrily, "The urgent military report three days ago, why did you wait to send it now? Dingzhou is only a day's journey away from Yecheng."
The soldier who reported the letter lowered his head and said: "The prefect's letter was intercepted. In addition, the rebel army had already killed many scouts due to the inconvenience of travel due to the heavy rain. The states and counties did not resume contact until the rain stopped."
Heavy news came one after another, and without waiting for anyone to take a breather, there was another sharp and piercing "report" from outside the hall.
"Report, Your Majesty, there are unidentified soldiers and horses approaching Ye City outside the city."
