But the next morning, Jixiang woke up early.

Although Tian Muyu's coronation ceremony did not require her, the future queen, to be accompanied, she had to go and see it anyway to feel at ease.

After all, Tian Qiquan’s men have not been caught yet, and they might pop up somewhere.

So Jixiang got up immediately, dressed, and rushed to the Yangxin Palace while the three children were still asleep.

Tian Muyu wanted to live with Jixiang and the children, but after all, it was in Defei's Yiku Palace, and it was really not suitable for him to stay there. Also, he needed to get up early to prepare for his ascension to the throne, and he didn't want to disturb Jixiang and the three children's rest.

So he took the initiative to return to the Yangxin Palace.

When Jixiang arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Eunuch Guo had already brought people to take care of Tian Muyu's daily life.

Although Tian Muyu, like Jixiang, did not need too many people to serve him, today was different. Many clothes had certain rules for how to wear them, so Tian Muyu could only let Eunuch Guo and his men serve him.

Seeing Jixiang coming over, Tian Muyu's eyes lit up, "Why are you here?"

"At times like this, I will always be by your side." Jixiang smiled. It seemed that she and Tian Muyu never had the stage of first love or passionate love. They were like an old married couple right from the start.

At this moment, she felt that she said these words as if they came out of her mouth without having to think about the wording.

Tian Muyu smiled, "With you here, I feel more at ease. I'm sure today's ceremony will go smoothly."

Tian Muyu was right, the coronation ceremony went very smoothly.

Under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, he offered sacrifices to heaven, worshipped his ancestors, accepted the worship of all officials, then issued the edict of accession to the throne and received the jade seal symbolizing imperial power.

Then he prepared to attend the banquet for all officials, build good relationships with all the officials, and start his official work as the new emperor.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the banquet for all officials.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the banquet began, officials began to run into trouble one after another.

Some ran to the toilet, some foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, and there was even a strange one, who seemed like a madman, talking nonsense and cursing at Tian Muyu in the banquet hall.

Tian Muyu immediately felt something was wrong and quickly ordered Eunuch Guo beside him, "Go and call the princess over!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Guo was also surprised. When he heard that he was asked to call Jixiang, he hurriedly ran to call people himself.

As soon as Eunuch Guo left, Tian Muyu's hawk-like eyes swept across the hall.

"Keep an eye on everyone in this banquet hall and don't let them out of your sight!" Tian Muyu instructed Situ Changqing beside him.

"Yes!" Situ Changqing, who was supporting the palace security, had naturally long suspected that there was a trick and had ordered his men to keep a close eye on anyone who went out.

With Tian Muyu's precautions, he was no longer in a hurry. He looked at the food in front of him, put down his chopsticks and sat up straight.

Because of these unusual phenomena, other officials no longer dared to eat or drink. They followed Tian Muyu's example and sat and watched those who had gotten into trouble in the hall.

The person who scolded Tian Muyu was an official from the Censorate. This official spoke eloquently and seemed to be filled with anger.

Even though his colleagues reminded him, he seemed not to care.

“Tian Muyu, do you think that you have ascended the throne and that you have the final say over the Great Saint Dynasty? This Great Saint Dynasty belongs to the people of our Great Saint Dynasty. It does not belong to you alone, nor does it belong to your Tian family alone!”

Tian Muyu looked at him and said nothing.

Ouyang Changqing had long wanted to deal with him, "Your Majesty, I will take him away. He seems to have lost his mind."

Tian Muyu shook his head and said loudly, "The Censorate is supposed to supervise the emperor and the officials. If there is anything wrong between me and the officials, just point it out. I will not stop you if there is any problem. "

All the officials did not expect Tian Muyu to be so magnanimous. They were happy and surprised.

Yan Henian nodded and looked at Xue Huai'en beside him, "Master Xue, we should have drunk this wine to our heart's content today, but someone is messing with us from behind."

"It's okay. After the banquet is over, you and I can go to a tavern to have a good drink." After saying that, he smiled knowingly at Yan Henian.

Fu Shoutang sat below Xue Huai'en, and because they were both officials of the Dali Temple, as soon as something happened, he would rush to check the situation, and at this time he returned to Yan Henian.

"Sir, it seems that the officials who are in trouble are the ones who refuted that man in the court before."

Yan Henian's eyes narrowed, "Are you sure?"

Fu Shoutang nodded, "I have checked each one of them. Although no poison was found in the food, I think something must have been added."

Xue Huai'en frowned, "This is the new emperor's coronation banquet. Who is so bold as to mess up the food?"

Yan Henian looked at Tian Muyu at the top, and said meaningfully, "Of course, they are those who don't want the emperor to ascend the throne." He winked at Fu Shoutang, "Watch the meals of those officials in trouble, and don't let anyone do anything else."

"Also, all the things in this hall are guarded. No one is allowed to take them out. Let their people check it out."

"Yes," Fu Shoutang agreed and stepped back.

While they were talking, Jixiang came hurriedly under the leadership of Eunuch Guo.

Yan Henian and Xue Huai'en both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jixiang coming.

Jixiang walked straight up to Tian Muyu, bowed to all the officials, and swept his bright eyes around the hall before saying, "A total of eleven officials have problems?"

All the officials were stunned. How did the queen know?

Tian Muyu was not as surprised as the other officials, but he was also confused. He looked at Eunuch Guo and asked, "Did you tell the Queen?"

Guo Dongdong shook his head, "When I went to ask the Queen to come, I didn't know how many adults had problems."

Tian Muyu then asked Jixiang, "Queen, how did you know?"

Jixiang was already striding towards the officials who were in trouble.

At this time, several imperial doctors also received the news and came in a hurry. Just as they were about to ask who needed treatment, they heard Jixiang say, "All of you stay with me, and we will treat these adults together."

As he spoke, Jixiang squatted down beside an official who had fallen to the ground, and reached out to the official's wrist from behind.

Soon, she stood up, signaled the imperial physician behind her to continue, and walked towards another official.

About half an hour later, Jixiang had checked the pulse of all those who had problems.

Even the censor who cursed was given an acupuncture by Jixiang, and he sat obediently in his seat and didn't say a word.

In the hall, all the officials' eyes were following Jixiang.

Seeing that she had checked everyone, they were all eagerly waiting for her to explain the reason.
