Ever since he found out he was poisoned, Emperor Danxu felt that everything was wrong with him. Recently, he had suffered from dizziness and chest tightness.
Now that the physical discomfort is all blamed on the spices used by Li Fei, the extent of Emperor Danxu's anger can be seen.
"Come here!" Emperor Danxu raised his hand and pointed at Concubine Li, "Drag this guilty woman who intends to murder me and throw her into the cold palace!"
Concubine Li was completely stupid. She used spices to compete for favors, which was not uncommon in the harem. Even if she was discovered, she would mostly be punished with minor punishments, but she would not be relegated to the cold palace.
"I have absolutely no intention of murdering His Majesty." Concubine Li knelt up to Emperor Danxu and hugged his legs, "I only think this spice smells good, but I don't know what its effects are. I would like to ask Your Majesty to clarify... "
"Get away!" Emperor Danxu raised his foot and kicked Concubine Li away, and the guards quickly dragged her down.
The speed with which Concubine Li was promoted from the rank of concubine to being relegated to the cold palace was considered the fastest in the harem.
"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea to calm down, don't let your anger break your body." Shen Bichi took the tea brewed by Cuihuan and brought it to Emperor Danxu.
Emperor Danxu sat down in front of the short couch and looked at Shen Bichi with squinted eyes: "How did my beloved concubine know about 'Chunhe Fragrance'?"
Shen Bichi was slightly startled, not expecting Emperor Danxu to be so suspicious.
The unexpected surprise only lasted for a moment, and Shen Bichi immediately said softly: "When I was with my aunt, I heard a nun who was good at making incense talk about it.
She prepared some at random and gave it to my concubine to try the scent. I thought the scent was very special, so I remembered it..."
Emperor Danxu frowned slightly. It seemed that this woman had learned a lot of tricks from Concubine Shen. She should not be treated lightly.
"Your Majesty, please stay with me for lunch." Shen Bichi changed the subject, "I asked your maid to cook some soup that will refresh your mind."
Emperor Danxu now believes that there are always unscrupulous people trying to harm me. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Zhang Jinliang poking his head outside, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Jinliang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Emperor Danxu's ear: "Your Majesty, the news just arrived from Long Wei is that the Imperial Preceptor went to Prince Yun's Mansion this morning with gifts and has not left until now."
"What?!" Emperor Danxu felt like he had been hit in the head.
The Imperial Preceptor never made friends with the nobles of the court, let alone visited other people's residences, even if they asked for an audience with the nobles, they would never see him.
The Imperial Preceptor never interacts with others, and everyone feels that the Imperial Preceptor is aloof like a god, and they respect him even more.
It is not difficult to imagine that if the Imperial Master sided with Si Haochen, even if he revealed Si Haochen's life experience, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Emperor Danxu suddenly stood up and walked out while asking: "Where is the dragon guard who sent the message?"
Zhang Jinliang knew that the situation was serious, so his voice trembled when he replied: "Waiting outside the hall."
"Emperor..." Before Shen Bichi could say anything to persuade him to stay, Emperor Danxu had already strode away, and Shen Bichi pounded the table hard.
In Prince Yun's Mansion, Ah Ling played the role of 'mascot' for a short time and was dismissed with honor.
Mingruo thought that her senior brother would enter the mansion unnoticed, so she would treat him well at Meiyuan. She never expected that his senior brother would display a guard of honor, bring two large boxes of gifts, and ride a chariot all the way from the Imperial Master's Mansion. .
All of a sudden, everyone with some knowledge in the imperial capital knew that the Imperial Master went to Prince Yun's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings with gifts, which turned out to be the most explosive news in the imperial capital in the next year.
A thoughtful person thought that with the defeat of Beichi, Emperor Danxu would definitely take action against Prince Yun. He was afraid of getting into trouble and did not dare to go to Prince Yun's Mansion. Hearing that the Imperial Preceptor had gone to Prince Yun's Mansion, he quickly imitated his example and prepared for it. Go with a generous gift.
Housekeeper Zhou was busy welcoming and delivering guests from morning to noon, and saw that there were not many guests but many. It was difficult to turn away people during the Chinese New Year, so he had to accept the gifts and invite them to the flower hall where guests were received.
While ordering the maid to serve tea, he explained: "My prince and the Imperial Master are talking in the study, and they are not available at the moment."
Neither Prince Yun nor the Imperial Master can be offended. Everyone cooperated and expressed their understanding. In order to avoid embarrassment, they chatted with their acquaintances, and it seemed like "the guest and the host were having a great time."
Butler Zhou had no choice but to ask people to take care of the tea and snacks, and then went to the front to receive the new round of visitors.
According to legend, the Imperial Master who was talking to Prince Yun in the study was visiting the ‘Meiyuan Zoo’ under the guidance of his junior sister.
"These are Dabai's baby rabbits." Mingruo pointed to the 'pom poms' rolling on the ground and said to Jun Che, "Senior brother, if you like them, you can choose a pair to raise."
"Chirp!" Tuoyoupin's "Snover" immediately protested - the young master is the son of a fox, and there can be no other little goblins!
"Senior brother is so happy to see the 'scarf.'" Mingruo held up a little rabbit and handed it to Jun Che, "This one with black and white flowers is very cute."
Seeing the 'bib' looking at the rabbit with keen eyes, Jun Che smiled and shook his head: "The joy of the bib is not the joy you think it is, it's probably the joy of seeing the rabbit's legs."
"Okay..." Mingruo felt that senior brother had discovered the truth.
"Go and meditate. Seeing that you are diligent in cultivation, your master may teach you something else." Jun Che brushed aside the 'scarf' that was picking at the hem of his clothes with his paws, "The day after tomorrow is my little junior sister's birthday. I want to teach you something else."
How to celebrate?”
"Hey?" Mingruo blinked her dark almond-shaped eyes and looked at Si Haochen, "Has your husband prepared a surprise for me?"
"Ahem." Si Haochen rolled his eyes at the talkative 'Seventh Uncle', "The invitation will be sent to the house tomorrow. Remember to attend the banquet on time and don't wait when it is late!"
"Okay." Jun Che smiled and nodded.
"Shouldn't we have a big banquet for guests?" Ming Ruosheng looked at Si Haochen helplessly, "It's a rare birthday and you want me to dress up as a mascot. This is too cruel..."
"We are inviting people who are close to us. There is no need to dress up. You can do whatever you want." Si Haochen touched his wife's head and said, "If you don't want to accompany me, just let them play by themselves."
"..." Mingruo admired her husband's arrangement so much that she dared to invite people over, and just left it alone!
Jun Che smiled and asked, "Do I still have to bring my own tea, snacks and lunch?"
"It's up to you. You can also bring your valuable belongings." Si Haochen nodded solemnly.
"Pfft..." Mingruo couldn't help laughing, "Are you going to support your senior brother in his old age?"
"Our palace does not support idle people." Si Haochen shook his head.
"Tsk, tsk." Ming Ruo waved her small fist at Si Haochen, "I want to punch someone when I hear this!"
"Go back to your room and call again later." Si Haochen lowered his head and turned the finger on his hand, "The weather has gotten a lot warmer in the past two days."
"The beginning of spring tomorrow will be even warmer." Jun Che fiddled with the hexagram stone casually.
Mingruo scratched his head, weren't you talking about celebrating his birthday? Why are you talking about the weather again^
