Zhu Yuanzhang, who discovered this, glared and said domineeringly: "If you have any requests, you can just say it. In this world, there are not many things that I can't do..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tao shook his head with a wry smile, and then replied: "This matter, Your Majesty, is actually not as simple as imagined..."

"The main reason why I asked you to remove the Queen and the others is because the poison in the Queen's body is extremely poisonous."

"The Thousand-Change Poison is a rare mixed poison in the world. It is a strange poison formed by the fusion of powerful poisons!"

"It is very difficult to detoxify this poison. Pindao has no other option but to temporarily suppress the spread of the poison..."

"And this poison has spread in the Queen's body for at least three days, or even longer..."

"Toxins have already entered the six organs, and even the meridians, blood and flesh. If you want to completely cure it, you must find the poisoner."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was no longer ugly. The expression on his face could really be said to be cannibalistic.

One day later.

Royal Palace, South Banquet Hall of Phoenix Hall.

"Ms. Jiang, long time no see."

A middle-aged noble lady wearing the clothes of a fourth-grade imperial concubine with still graceful appearance was greeting Jiang Li'er.

This middle-aged lady wearing the clothes of the Fourth Grade Imperial Lady, named Jiang Xin, is greeting Jiang Lier.

Jiang Xin is the highest official of Dali Temple and the official wife of the fourth-rank Dali Temple Minister.

And Jiang Lier is the legitimate daughter of the third-rank Jingzhao Yin family.

The two families are family friends, so Jiang Xin and Jiang Lier both know each other.

Today is Queen Ma's birthday, so a grand birthday banquet was held in the palace.

For this birthday banquet, most of the ladies and ladies from the high-ranking families in the capital were invited.

Of course, because of their different identities, statuses, and backgrounds, they were arranged into two halls, the North Hall and the South Hall.

In the south hall are the wives and young ladies of second-, third- and fourth-grade officials whose status and status are slightly inferior. There are many of them, as many as hundreds.

The number of people in the North Hall is much smaller. Their status and status are all the top nobles of the Ming Empire, and almost all of them are founding heroes.

Mainly the wives and young ladies of first-grade officials and various father-in-laws, their number is a little smaller, only a few dozen.

Seeing her, Jiang Lier also smiled and walked over.

"Hello, Mrs. Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Jiang Xin's face. Unexpectedly, she actually called Jiang Li'er over.

Next to Jiang Xin, many ladies and ladies had surprises on their faces.

You must know that although Jing Zhaoyin is a third-rank official, he is not an ordinary third-rank official. The power in his hands is far greater than that of second-rank officials who have no real power...

Mrs. Jiang Xin has such a wide network of contacts. She actually knows Miss Jing Zhaoyin. Come on, hurry up and find a way to get to know her.

Speaking of this, Jiang Xin was surrounded by many ladies and ladies. Of course, these ladies and ladies were all third- and fourth-grade officials.

Madams and ladies of second rank and above have their own small circle.

I don't even bother hanging out with them.

Moreover, these ladies and ladies of the second rank and above have received the news early that the legitimate daughter of the prince's residence is likely to come to the South Hall to take a look around.

So, when they saw Jiang Xin and Jiang Lier talking so passionately and surrounded by so many people...

There was no trace of envy or jealousy in their eyes, but instead there was a hint of ridicule.

About a stick of incense later, Zhu Xiaoyan, the daughter-in-law of the Prince's Mansion, came to the South Hall bounding up.

Seeing this, these second-grade ladies and ladies who knew the inside information in advance suddenly became agitated.

Many beautiful women lift up their skirts

, hurriedly walked towards the door.

Hurry, hurry up and find a way to get to know her. This is the eldest daughter of the future emperor. When the new emperor ascends the throne, she will be the eldest princess.

Hurry, come over and see if you can talk to Zhu Xiaoyan!

Among these people, Jiang Chenxi, the daughter of the second-rank right minister of the household department, ran the fastest.

After all, she was the mastermind behind bringing Zhu Xiaoyan, the legitimate daughter of the prince's family, here.

In order to lure Zhu Xiaoyan here, she paid a heavy price.

So, how could she let others approach Zhu Xiaoyan in advance, gain benefits, and pick her own peaches?

"Little Princess Zhu Xiaoyan, you are so beautiful!"

As soon as Jiang Chenxi rushed in front of Zhu Xiaoyan, she immediately boasted that it was nice and free of charge.

Hearing Jiang Chenxi's praise, Zhu Xiaoyan blushed, waved her hands repeatedly, and replied: "How can you not? Sister Jiang Chenxi, you are so beautiful!"

"Hehe, you are all beautiful and very smart!"

Faye Wong, the daughter of the right-hand man in the Ministry of War, came over to her with ease. Her flattering skills were at their peak, and she didn't know who she inherited them from.

Then, more women gathered around.

"Little Princess Zhu Xiaoyan, I am Luo Yi, the daughter of the minister of household affairs."

"Little Princess Zhu Xiaoyan, I am Bai Baihua, the daughter of the Minister of Justice."

"Little Princess Zhu Xiaoyan, we met last year in the palace. I am Zheng Meishang, the sister of the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army!"

"Little Princess Zhu Xiaoyan, I am the daughter of Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, and my name is Yang Ying."

Thirteen-year-old Zhu Xiaoyan smiled and returned greetings to everyone who greeted her, obviously very polite.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaoyan was in a very happy mood, because compared to the dull North Banquet Hall, this place was relatively lively.

Zhu Xiaoyan has always had few friends due to her special status. It was like this in the prince's mansion before, and it is still the same after leaving the prince's mansion. There is no change at all.

So Zhu Xiaoyan was very happy to make new friends.

"What were you talking about before? Can I join in?"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

"Of course, Your Highness, it is our honor!"

"Mistress, maid, please bring a glass cup to Your Highness, Princess!"

"Your Highness, come on, let's go over there, sit down and talk slowly!"

Zhu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Okay!"

In this way, due to the arrival of Princess Zhu Xiaoyan, the legitimate daughter of the Prince's Mansion, the entire South Hall became extremely lively.

A burst of tinkling laughter kept coming from their mouths...

However, at this moment, no one knows what will happen next?

No one knows what kind of changes will happen in this South Banquet Hall?

That was an extremely important event that would shake the entire Ming Empire and make the upper class of the Ming Empire shed blood.

Several chairs made of golden nanmu were placed close to each other, and women with very noble status and status were sitting in a row.

That sound like a musical note, continuous...

"Liu Meili, you bought that painting of mountains and rivers and the moon last time. It cost tens of thousands of dollars in silver. When will you bring it over for everyone to take a look at..."

"I wanted to see it last time, but you were so stingy that you didn't show it to me?"

Zheng Qingshuang said as if he was joking, but also as if he was complaining.

"Hey, is that so? I've also heard of that picture. It's really a masterpiece by a famous artist!"

"Sister Meili, can you show it to us?"

"And the little princess is here, is there anything else you want to say?

Hearing the words of her girlfriends, Liu Meili smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I also want to show it to you, but my father is still looking at this painting very closely..."

"My father is very strict, and I am very afraid of my father, so..."

Liu Meili didn't finish what she said later, but the ladies and ladies present all understood it.

The sweet laughter started immediately, and it continued one after another.

"I see. No wonder we all said that and you didn't show it to us!"

"I thought you were really getting stingy?"

"Xiao Nizi, what are you guessing about? Beauty wouldn't be so stingy!"

Upon hearing this, many ladies and ladies laughed happily, causing ladies and ladies from all over the South Banquet Hall to look over.

Among these ladies and ladies, there were several ladies in luxurious clothes. The ladies looked at them and whispered to each other.

Their eyes revealed a trace of cruelty, and their voices were kept extremely low, obviously for fear of being heard by others.

"Zhang Lihua, are you really ready?"
