Both men and women were wearing gorgeous clothes and jewelry made of gems. The air in the courtyard contained the aroma of roasted lamb and cherry soju.★New Ideas Chinese Network member hand-touching★All this made Su Lun, who was standing guard in the garden with weapons, was unhappy. His wife only had cotton coats, and envied the big Song glass-headed flowers in the store for a long time. With the salary of the Imperial Guard, Su Lun could afford such cheap Song jewelry. If he had no parents in poor health and four younger brothers and sisters.

He served in the Roman Legion of the Eastern Roman Empire, performed well in battles, and made military achievements. His family was innocent and had no connection with the nobles, so he had the opportunity to be selected as the Imperial Army. Becoming an Imperial Army means that the family could get five kilograms of grain every day, five kilograms of beef, half a kilogram of sugar, a certain amount of spices and olive oil every month. The Imperial Army itself also had higher income than the Roman Legion, and relatives could also work in factories run by the Empire. That was not labor, but labor positions that were paid.

Su Lun never complained about his life. If it were in the past, Su Lun's parents would die in pain under the dual torture of illness and hunger. Su Lun was forced to take risks by the hungry crying of his younger brothers and sisters, and died in an unknown corner soon in dangerous work or criminal activities. If things really evolved, it might be a relief for Su Lun, because he could not do anything to sell his younger brothers and sisters to human traffickers.

In fact, two months ago, the army paid an extra week of salary due to the emperor's birthday. Sulun gave the money to his pregnant wife and asked her to buy jewelry she had longed for. However, the glass products brought back by his wife were glasses. That month, the mother, who worked in the embroidery bureau with Sulun's wife, no longer sighed in the cross-stitch. With the help of glasses, she could finally clearly see the texture of the cross-stitch base cloth. That month, Sulun's mother's income doubled.

Although the managers of the Embroidery Bureau did not dare to fire the military family members at will, they could decide how much workload they gave to these family members based on the quality of the embroidery. In the past, Su Lun's mother's embroidery quality was divided into the worst.

Because of the physical condition, my father, who was unable to work, went to buy the cheapest vegetables every day. My younger brothers and sisters went to schools run by the Empire. My mother and wife worked on embroidery at home and cooked for Sulun's younger brothers and sisters. In a few years, my younger brothers and sisters could choose to join the army or work in the factory with my younger sisters. Whether it was an embroidery factory, soap factory or winery, they could make a living. If they could learn good skills, they could live a better life. At that time, Sulun could get rid of poverty and start to think more about himself.

Even though he was forced to look at the gorgeous clothes and beautiful and expensive jewelry of the upper Romans, Sulun was in a bad mood, he still glanced at the men and women attending the engagement banquet with a vigilant look like other imperial guards. These people had the opportunity to approach the great Roman emperor, the opportunity to threaten the great emperor who rebuilded the Roman legion and provided generous salaries to the legion. Care must be taken seriously.

Suddenly, the Imperial Guard's eyes turned to the main entrance of the mansion, and the commander rushed out quickly. All the Imperial Guards subconsciously stood up straight. The commander who rushed to the front of the Imperial Guard stopped and shouted loudly: "The First Battalion immediately blocked all entrances and exits. Any suspicious persons should be killed! The First Battalion's First, Second, Third Squadron guarded the entrances and exits of the house. The Fourth Squadron comes with me!"

Su Lun was under the Fourth Squadron of the Second Battalion of the Imperial Guard. When he heard the order, he felt a chill rushing straight from his tail spine to his forehead. He held his weapons tightly, and then heard the officers of the squadrons of various brigades and squadrons who had begun to yell and gather his subordinates. In the sound of armor collision and military orders, Su Lun rushed towards the gate of the mansion with his own queue.

When the Imperial Guard rushed into the mansion, he heard the people in the house screaming. Su Lun didn't care about that. Under the command of the captain, he and his comrades rushed to both sides of the hall according to the actions he had performed many times. The crowd dispersed and saw the emperor under the protection of his personal guards holding weapons, looking unscathed. Su Lun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Emperor Jin An and the Imperial Guard could continue to live as they used to.

However, the emperor did not sit in the seat. In an open space near the seat, a minister in front of the emperor was half-hunted by the imperial doctor squatting on the ground. When he saw the minister's body spasm, his arm twisted toward the emperor, and shouted in pain: "Ah..., Your Majesty, save me."

Even if he wanted to monitor the nobles in front of him, Su Lun couldn't help but turn his head and look over. He saw the emperor squatting down, holding the minister's hand, and said solemnly: "My friend, you have been poisoned very much. We will help you, but now it is God who can save you. If you believe in God, you can survive."

"No! Your Majesty! You are the spokesperson of God. In this world, only you can save me...ah...uh..." The minister shouted here, but he opened his mouth and a large mouthful of dirt sprayed on the emperor's clothes. Even though he was a little far away from the emperor, Su Lun soon smelled the unpleasant smell of vomit.

The emperor was unmoved. He whispered something to the doctor. The doctor let go of his arm, but the emperor reached out to catch the minister. The doctor quickly took a large pot of water and poured it into the minister. The minister vomited again after a while. The emperor twitched his eyebrows slightly, took out a slender diamond crystal bottle from his arms and held it in front of his forehead and prayed in a low voice. The doctor took out a short silver tube and installed a slender needle on it. When the emperor's short prayer ended, the doctor ended up with the crystal bottle, unscrewed the bottle, and probed the needle into the bottle.

After a period of operation, the doctor pulled out the needle and grabbed the minister's arm. However, the minister's whole body was twitching at this time and he couldn't hold it tightly. The doctor shouted to Su Lun in a hurry: "You two come here, yes! It's you two!"

Su Lun was still a little hesitant, but the captain pushed him behind his back, and then he heard the captain shout, "Go over!"

Su Lun and another imperial guard quickly put down their weapons and ran over, and clutched the minister's arm tightly as the doctor ordered. The doctor wrapped a strap around the minister's arm, and the blue veins on the arm immediately emerged. The needle was then stabbed into the raised blue veins by the doctor. Even though he had killed someone on the battlefield, Su Lun still felt uncomfortable when he saw the thin needle piercing the blue veins.

He opened his face a little, but his eyes fell on the emperor's face beside him. He saw the wrinkles on the emperor's forehead looking deeper under the lights, looking quite old. However, the wide forehead and calm expression made the old but not weak wrinkles look as solemn as a sculpture.

Just when Su Lun was moved by the emperor, his hand was shocked. He quickly turned around, but saw that the doctor had pulled out the fine needle, and the minister's body was spasming uncontrollably. Su Lun quickly pressed the minister tightly with another imperial guard. After a while, the minister suddenly let out a long sigh and his body became like soft mud.

The doctor came over to check again, and soon shouted in a happy voice: "Your Majesty, he has survived, he is still alive."

The emperor, who had been holding the minister's upper body, breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the minister into Sulun's arms. Sulun hurriedly hugged the minister tightly, and at the same time, he watched the emperor stand up and said calmly: "Send him to the hospital."

Su Lun was about to receive the order when he saw an eunuch carrying a stretcher. He and his companions quickly put the minister on the stretcher. Feeling the dough on his arms, Su Lun suspected that the minister was actually dead. He felt great fear of the poison. As soon as the eunuch raised the stretcher, Su Lun felt that someone was patting him behind his back. He turned his head and saw that it was His Majesty's personal guard. They had been around the emperor just now. Su Lun focused on supporting the minister and actually forgot the existence of the personal guard.

When the guards made a gesture, Su Lun quickly pulled the comrades next to him. The two of them quickly walked out of the circle of people, picked up their weapons, and returned to their positions. Looking back, they saw the emperor sitting back on the seat. The guards were lined up on both sides. A chubby person walked to the emperor, turned to everyone, and shouted: "Bring it up!"

Soon, the guards dragged three people up, two in gorgeous clothes, probably nobles, and the other in maid's clothes. The chubby guy was an eunuch, and he waved his hand again. Someone brought a silver plate with a wine pot and a wine glass on it. The eunuch sneered in that special voice: "This is the wine you brought, you, give it to both of you."

After hearing this, the two nobles knelt down quickly, and the man cried: "Your Majesty, we have no intention! Please observe clearly."

"Hisser Duke, do you have any unfair intentions? You will know after drinking this glass of wine." The eunuch still had a smile on his face when he spoke, and Su Lun felt chill in his heart.

"Fallen!" the eunuch continued to order.

The maid picked up the wine glass and filled two glasses of wine, lowered her head to the Duke. The Duke was full of grief and anger, and suddenly grabbed the wine glass and drank it all. After drinking one, he looked at the emperor and then looked at his wife next to him. He threw off the wine glass, grabbed another glass and poured it into his stomach.

Without waiting for the duke to speak, the eunuch said to the maid: "Thank you for your hard work, have a drink to quench your thirst."

The maid's body shook and her head lowered. The eunuch smiled and said, "It's not easy to be a maid. It's okay to have a glass of wine."

Everyone's eyes fell on the maid. Even though he didn't understand what was going on, Su Lun felt that things were beyond his imagination.

The maid was silent for a while and whispered: "I'm just a maid and can't drink!"

"Are you poisoned?" the Duke roared and was about to pounce on the maid. The guard immediately grabbed the Duke's arm and prevented him from pounceing on it.

The maid lowered her head again, and her pitiful appearance made Su Lun wonder if the eunuch had made something wrong. Unexpectedly, the maid suddenly grabbed the wine pot, raised her hand and threw it at the emperor. The guard immediately stepped forward and grabbed the maid, but could not stop the wine pot flying over. The eunuch looked at it, but with amazing skills, he blocked the emperor and accurately grabbed the wine pot flying over. The lid of the wine pot flew up, and the wine spilled the eunuch's face. The eunuch wiped the wine from his face and laughed: "It's you!"

"Tyrant!" the maid shouted angrily, her voice was no longer gentle, but was filled with extremely resentment. "God cursed you, you will definitely go to hell! You... woo..." The guards had already covered the maid's mouth tightly, preventing her from cursing anymore.

Such an accident caused a scream from the crowd around him. Su Lun quickly turned around, raised his weapon, and forced the nobles who wanted to go forward to see. After finally controlling the situation, he heard footsteps. Looking back, he saw the emperor leave from another door under the protection of the guards. The guard also carried the duke and the lady who was probably the duchess and the lady who was the duchess. The maid was not only tied, but also stuffed into a cloth ball. The four big men grabbed the maid tightly, leaving her in mid-air. Tied the maid's legs, and the four guards carried her out of the hall.

Seeing such a big show, Su Lun felt a little confused. Who is the one who wants to assassinate the emperor, the duke or the maid? Su Lun couldn't understand at all. He suddenly remembered another thing, why did the eunuchs get splashed in the face with poisoned wine but didn't care at all?

At this time, the eunuch had already walked out of the duke's mansion. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face carefully, and couldn't help licking his lips. It was obvious that the wine was very good, and the eunuch even showed a satisfied expression. At this time, the duke was escorted by the guards by the eunuch. The duke shouted: "King Holru, I was wronged. Please find a doctor to save me!"

"Duke, don't worry. The pot of wine has been replaced, not poisonous wine." The eunuch smiled.

"Ah?" The Duke was stunned. Because the incident suddenly happened, he was nervous. He never expected that the eunuch had done so many tricks in it.

"His lord," continued the eunuch, "Although the wine has been replaced, we have not poured out the wine that has been replaced. The wine has been tested, but there are really poisons inside. Moreover, those poisons are not cheap, and those who disguise themselves as your maid cannot afford it."

After saying that, the eunuch took leisurely steps. The duke looked at the pace that was a little unrecognizable to his relatives, and his heart that had just fallen back into his stomach and raised it to his throat. The words just now sounded relaxed, but the meaning behind it was terrible enough to make many people fall to the ground.

When the emperor returned to the palace, the eunuch Hollu arrived at the emperor. Before Hollu could speak, the emperor said, "It takes an hour for the poison in the interior minister to start attacking. He had not yet arrived at the duke."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have sent someone to investigate." Holru lowered his head and responded. There has never been a shortage of poisoners in the upper class of Eastern Romans, and poisoning has become a sensible academic. Holru thought of this from the beginning. If it weren't for the surveillance in the crowd, he would have been afraid that the wine poisoned by the maid would have been sent to the emperor. Thinking of this, Holru was both proud and scared.

"Let me tell me what changes have happened to the Minister of the Interior." After the emperor said that, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

"Yes!" Hollugong sent the emperor away.

After taking a shower, the Eastern Roman Emperor knelt on the cushion of his prayer room and began to recite scriptures. Today's changes made him feel the chaos of the political situation. Therefore, the emperor allowed himself to immerse himself in the scriptures as much as possible. Only in this way can he feel safety and peace in recent years.
