Chapter 143: The widowed little queen mother in the harem novel (5)
The new emperor had just celebrated his birthday before he ascended the throne, so this was the first time Murong Zhi had celebrated his birthday since he took the throne.
Important officials in the court jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, asking him to take drastic measures.
Murong Zhi agreed.
All of this should have been handled by the mistress of the harem, but when he saw the empress dowager's confused look, he knew she couldn't do it, so he had to give up.
Gu Zhen played dumb and avoided a lot of trouble. On the birthday, she dressed up early and waited for dinner in the evening.
By the way, save the hapless emperor.
In the original book, the original owner did not attend the palace banquet because she was afraid of Murong Zhi. By the time she received the news that the emperor was poisoned, the male protagonist Chu Xuan had already traveled through time.
The book also didn't give any specific details, it only mentioned that Murong Zhi drank the poisoned wine and died.
After Chu Xuan arrived, he was worried for a few days, so he didn't even bother to find out who poisoned him.
The matter was left unresolved.
Gu Zhen knew that this matter was probably the result of the joint efforts of several important officials, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.
According to her observation, this kid Murong Zhi managed the palace very tightly!
When they arrived at the palace banquet, Gu Zhen walked to Murong Zhi with her head held high and sat down amid the greetings from everyone.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. Was the Queen Mother being too active recently?
But it doesn’t matter, I’m just a peasant girl.
Although Murong Zhi was domineering, he still followed the rules and etiquette. In front of outsiders, he gave Gu Zhen enough face. Except for not kneeling down, he did everything else.
Gu Zhen enjoyed it with a clear conscience. When she rescued Murong Zhi, she would be the emperor's great benefactor! In this harem, how could she not walk sideways?
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anything suspicious.
The wine glasses and wine were checked, and anything that was put into the mouth would be tried by the eunuchs first.
Gu Zhen was a little anxious and began to look around absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Is there something wrong?" Murong Zhi asked casually.
Gu Zhen quickly came to his senses and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
After waiting for a while, the wine jug in front of Murong Zhi was empty. He waved his hand back and said, "Bring some more wine."
Every time it was his birthday, he was always in a bad mood, especially when he saw the loving look of the Crown Prince and his mother, he felt even worse.
Gu Zhen noticed that he looked unhappy and took a piece of food with chopsticks: "Emperor, try it, this is delicious!"
Murong Zhi glanced at her. She didn't even use the serving chopsticks. She was worthy of being born into a peasant family. She was just unruly. But her biological mother was just a foot-washing maid. What right did she have to look down on others!
I don’t know what he was thinking, but he stretched out his chopsticks and put the dish into his mouth.
It’s good and quite sweet.
At this time, several ministers looked at each other and came forward to toast: "Your subjects congratulate our emperor on his long life!"
There was no more wine in Murong Zhi's glass. He turned around and saw a young eunuch holding a wine pot, bending over and pouring it for him.
He looked unfamiliar, but he was a little tipsy and didn't think much of it.
But Gu Zhen beside him immediately realized that something was wrong. This eunuch was not the same one as before! And why didn't he drink in front of everyone?
"Emperor!" In a hurry, she stopped Murong Zhi without thinking.
The wine glass was already at his lips, and in just one second, it would be completely drunk.
The whole place fell silent because of Gu Zhen's shout.
The ministers looked at her out of nervousness, Murong Zhi looked at her out of confusion, and the little eunuch also looked over boldly.
Who is speaking at this critical moment?
"The Queen Mother, do you have something to tell this son?" Murong Zhi was no longer in a hurry to drink, and his mind became clearer. He turned around and looked at the unfamiliar eunuch, as if he understood something.
Gu Zhen suddenly had an idea and pointed to the wine glass in front of him: "The ministers are sincere, why don't the emperor give this wine to them as a reward?"
See if they dare to drink it!
Murong Zhi smiled, and this smile, like the bright moon and sparse wind, contained no trace of violence.
"What the Queen Mother said is very true. Come, give this wine to the Prime Minister to taste."
The prime minister and his men were going to kneel before the queen mother. Was she doing this intentionally or unintentionally? Why did she suddenly say that?
There’s a deadly poison in the wine!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, we do not want to accept rewards without merit, and we absolutely dare not..." These people, who usually always contradict each other and speak sharply in the court, were so nervous for the first time that they stammered and could not speak.
"Why? My dear, are you afraid that I have poisoned the wine?"
The prime minister and several others immediately knelt on the ground and said they dared not, but they did not dare to drink the wine either. It was obvious that they had something to hide.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Murong Zhi's eyes. How dare he poison him!
Damn it, old thing!
The palace maid had brought the wine, filled the glasses, and presented it to the prime minister and his companions.
It was not right for them to drink or not to drink. The prime minister made up his mind and thought that since it had come to this, they would die anyway, so they might as well fight it out.
He winked at the young eunuch behind Murong Zhi on the right. Upon receiving the order, the eunuch's expression changed and a dagger appeared from his sleeve.
"Ah!" Gu Zhen screamed. She had been paying attention to this side and immediately realized the danger. She actually rushed straight towards Murong Zhi.
He can't die! Chu Xuan came through, it's a big trouble!
Beat a fight, bike change bike!
Murong Zhi cursed inwardly "Damn it" and put his arm around Gu Zhen's waist to avoid the attack.
But the eunuch was very skilled in martial arts, and when his first attack missed, he immediately launched a second attack.
The guards rushed over and started fighting with him. Murong Zhi hugged Gu Zhen, turned around a few times, and stood firm in the back.
"Are you crazy?" Murong Zhi shouted, "Do I need you to save me?!"
He had seen it a long time ago. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, he would have captured the assassin in one fell swoop.
Gu Zhen's legs went limp, and she leaned against him and trembled, her voice filled with fear: "I... I'm afraid something will happen to you..."
Murong Zhi's heart seemed to be hit by something, sour and bitter, an indescribable feeling, but he knew that he could no longer blame the woman in his arms.
He looked down and saw that the other person's face was pale and her eyelashes were trembling, like two small brushes brushing across his heart.
Itchy.
Just as he was experiencing this feeling, Murong Zhi didn't prepare at all for the fact that among the people in the melee ahead, there was an inconspicuous guard whose face suddenly changed, and he turned around and stabbed at him with a sword.
Gu Zhen's eyes flashed by the sword light, and she subconsciously pushed Murong Zhi to the side. God knows, she really didn't have a heroic saint complex, it was just an instinctive reaction!
The sword stabbed directly towards Gu Zhen's lower abdomen. Murong Zhi was shocked and stretched out his hand to block it, but he only managed to reduce some of the opponent's strength.
The tip of the sword had already pierced into Gu Zhen's stomach.
"Empress Dowager!" Murong Zhi screamed. Panic came over him, making him a little overwhelmed.
Looking at the girl limp in his arms, he experienced for the first time what panic was.
ps. Sisters, please give me a five-star rating!! Woohoo (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~Love you guys!
