With Jin Xin's current status, there were naturally many people available to investigate this matter, and it only took two days to find out.
Liu Bin is indeed somewhat normal, but she is locked up in the inner courtyard of Kunning Palace and is not allowed to see the princess at all. The princess does not cry at night, but only cries during the day, but she often vomits during the day. She checked the imperial hospital's medicine collection It is recorded that Kunning Palace recently took a medicine and a soothing soup, which contained honey locust, which caused vomiting.
She doesn't cry at night. This is not normal. Children in this month cry every night.
"My slave looks at it. It looks like she drank some medicine to induce vomiting during the day and some soothing medicine at night. This makes the princess look weak." Cuigu thought of this possibility after hearing the news that her slave came to deliver the message. sex.
When Jin Xin heard this, her heart clenched, "She actually did this to a two-month-old child!"
Jin Xin checked the records of the concubines. It seemed that every time she went to the Queen's Palace, it was when the princess was vomiting and uncomfortable, and she didn't go there a few times. However, the records of taking tranquilizers from the Queen's Palace started after the child was one month old. of.
The queen is so young, she shouldn't be unable to sleep at night and need tranquilizers to help her sleep.
Although there are conjectures, there is no evidence.
This matter can only be put aside for the time being. May Day will be in a few days, so Jin Xin can only take care of this side first.
In the first half of the palace banquet during the May Festival, there was an entertainment program in the Taiping Palace. Folk opera troupes were invited to sing in the palace, and the oiran Jiaofangsi was also invited to play and dance in the palace. The venue was also given to male guests. The banquet and female guest seats allow unmarried men and women to entertain themselves. Interactions are also set up in the middle stage to allow women and men from various aristocratic families to show off their talents.
The banquet hall was located in the main hall of Taiping Hall, where the emperor and queen had dinner with ministers and their families.
Jin Xin took Hong'er and sat in the second seat, the emperor and the queen sat in the main seat, and Jin Xin sat in the same position as Shen Yin. Her expression was still calm. She looked at the singing and dancing in the audience, and her expression was not disturbed.
After the singing and dancing in the audience ended, King Cheng felt bored and said, "These dancers are really not very good at dancing. I'm tired of watching them every day, so why not try something new."
The tenth prince who became king, the late emperor had many heirs. Many of the princes had been sent to fiefdoms under various pretexts by the late emperor. Those who remained in the capital were princes who posed no threat.
King Cheng is one of them. He likes to hang out in places with fireworks. Naturally, he doesn't like serious occasions like palace banquets.
This palace banquet was arranged by Concubine De Gui. Concubine De Gui's family background did not pose a threat to King Cheng, so he naturally did not take it seriously and dared to insult Concubine De Gui in front of his face.
The emperor looked at Cheng Wang and said, "Uncle, is there a more interesting show?"
King Cheng was obviously a little drunk. He smiled and looked at Concubine Jade, "I heard that Concubine Jade was very talented and beautiful in the palace in her early years. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She captured many princes with her sword dance. Heart, I wonder if we have the eyes to see it?"
Shen Yin was suddenly called out, and his mind finally returned to his senses. His face was a little ugly, and he looked at the emperor and said slightly, "Your Majesty, I have not recovered from my heart disease, so I cannot do strenuous exercise."
The emperor naturally sympathized with her and said, "Being a king is just a drunken talk, you don't have to worry about it."
King Cheng drank a little too much, and he thought he was an elder. Now this banquet is to connect the feelings of the officials of the two dynasties. The emperor must not be easy to get angry, so he also got up a little presumptuously.
"Concubine Yu can't dance, how about letting Concubine De dance?"
King Cheng obviously humiliated the emperor's women as if they were women in a fireworks display.
The princess next to King Cheng looked extremely panicked. She hurriedly supported King Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, please do not blame me. King Cheng often talks nonsense when he is drunk. Please forgive me."
King Cheng frowned, looked at his princess kneeling in the middle, and scolded, "The emperor and I are uncles and nephews, so why should we blame you? Don't be embarrassed!"
Everyone on the field looked at this scene, and the atmosphere became weird.
Chu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Uncle Huang is right, we are uncles and nephews, so there is no blame."
But there was a hint of evil in his eyes, and he looked at Jin Xin and said, "King Cheng is drunk. Your concubine should arrange for someone to take King Cheng to the back hall to rest."
Jin Xin nodded, called the palace attendants, and sent King Cheng in. Before he went in, he was mumbling a little and talking nonsense. Princess Cheng wanted to gag him.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit gloomy, and no one dared to raise a glass. Chu Sheng smiled and picked up the wine glass, "My dear friends, don't be restrained and talk freely."
Then the field started to get lively again.
After a while, the little eunuch walked up to Manager Huang and didn't know what he said. Manager Huang went to the emperor and whispered in his ear, "King Cheng drank too much just now, walked unsteadily, and bumped into a stone. Look. He looks seriously injured."
When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Jin Xin, who also looked at him, smiled, and Chu Sheng chuckled. He felt better and said to Mr. Huang, "Send the imperial doctor to take a look. If nothing happens, I will send you out of the palace tonight. King Cheng is seriously injured. Don’t enter the palace again if you have nothing to do.”
Manager Huang sighed and hurriedly went to deliver the message.
Chu Sheng was very considerate of Jin Xin's actions. She understood him very well and knew what she wanted to do.
To scare the monkeys, you have to use a fool like Cheng Wang, lest those old ministers who insist on being loyal and honest become like him, with a high attitude and unwilling to surrender.
This news naturally spread among the ministers quickly. Although the old ministers were dissatisfied, they also understood that the situation was over. They had to recognize the emperor and his ministers.
The old ministers became active and offered various toasts and flattery to the emperor, who responded with great satisfaction.
Just when Jin Xin thought the palace banquet was over successfully, something unexpected happened.
When the dancers on the dance floor were dancing gracefully, the woman in the lead suddenly pierced the silk yarn and rushed over with a sword.
The incident was too sudden, and the people around him were still immersed in the dance. They never thought that this woman would assassinate him, so she flew towards the emperor.
Fortunately, Chu Sheng's martial arts skills were not bad and he reacted immediately and got up to avoid it. However, when the queen was pushed away by him, she lost her balance and fell under the table.
The female assassin was very skilled and caught up with Chu Sheng, and the two started fighting in the palace.
And those dancing girls turned out to be all assassins. They transformed into female Yamas one by one and started killing people with swords.
At this time, the Royal Forest Army rushed out and prevented further damage.
Everyone present moved away from their original positions because of this incident. Jin Xin hurriedly hid in the back with her child in her arms, and in a hurry, she bumped into Concubine Yu.
At this time, the leading female assassin from behind was repulsed by the emperor. Seeing that the emperor could not be hurt, she saw Jin Xin holding Hong'er, and her eyes became fierce.
"Emperor Dog, it will be the same if I kill your son!"
After saying that, he immediately flew over and wanted to kill Jin Xin and the child.
However, what Jin Xin didn't expect was that Concubine Yu rushed to hug Hong'er, as if to protect Hong'er, but she knocked Hong'er to the ground with her, and Hong'er instantly burst into a heartbreaking burst. cries.
But the female assassin failed in the end, and was intercepted and controlled by Gu Zhao's men with chains.
Chu Sheng was shocked, distressed and shouted, "Ayin!"
Hong'er fell when Concubine Yu grabbed her with all her strength. She hit her mouth and her skin was broken and blood flowed down. At this moment, she burst into tears in pain. However, the emperor did not look at Hong'er but picked up Shen Yin. He looked her up and down in a panic.
