I wish for a long time

When Ye Jiu stepped into the Xuanyi Hall of the Empress Dowager, he felt that the scene in front of him was no different from the fasting banquet a few days ago, except that the swords were a little tense and the atmosphere was a little weird.

The first thing she saw was Chu Shishen and the Empress Dowager sitting on the seat, followed by Dowager Zheng and Dowager Qi.

The Seventeenth Prince was born to Concubine Qi, and the Eighth Princess was raised in Concubine Zheng's palace, so it's not surprising why these two are here.

Everyone's expressions are quite consistent, and they are not very good-looking.

And the eighth princess, Chu Sheng, happened to be sitting on a chair beside her, holding Jiu Lianhuan with her head down, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Ye Jiu hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed.

Chu Shishen waved his hand and pointed to the pastry on the table, "Marquis Zhenyuan, is this the pastry you brought for the eighth princess?"

Hearing this, Ye Jiu looked at the plate on the table, which contained Xishuitang's milk bricks.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

Chu Shishen frowned, "Do you know that there is something different about this cake? My Seventeenth Emperor's younger brother ate it and still has diarrhea. Do you have anything to say?"

Ye Jiu expected such a scene, and said in a deep voice: "This cake is made of milk, so it will be stale after two days of storage. If you eat it at this time, it may cause diarrhea."

Chu Shishen glanced at Ye Jiu, turned to the Queen Mother and said, "What the Marquis of Zhenyuan said is also reasonable, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding."

The queen mother didn't want the emperor to fall out with the new Lord Hou, so she said: "Is the doctor Wang here? Let him check it out. It would be wrong if the emperor and his ministers are at odds because of a misunderstanding."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at the weeping Concubine Qi, and the latter's cry suddenly dropped a few decibels.

On the other hand, Concubine Zheng's face was as calm as water, but when she glanced across the hall, she lingered on Ye Jiu for a while longer.

Eunuch Fang bent down: "Prince Wang is waiting outside the hall."

"Call him in."

After a few breaths, an old man in a white official uniform walked in. After saluting, he carefully took the cake on the table, broke it open, and smelled it again.

"Doctor Wang, how are you?"

Imperial Physician Wang Jin knelt on the ground holding the pastry in his hands, and replied respectfully: "There is indeed some sour smell in this pastry."

Ye Jiu and Chu Shishen were slightly relieved when they heard the words.

"but……"

Everyone's hearts were raised again.

"Among the white silk on the surface, there is a little soft tendon scattered."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the people in the hall changed.

Especially Ye Jiu, wishing his jaw would drop to the ground.

"Soft tendons??"

She hasn't even seen a shadow of such a magical thing that only appears in martial arts dramas, so where can she drug the eighth princess? ?

Concubine Qi started to cry again, the Empress Dowager frowned, and Chu Shishen's face was also a little ugly.

Concubine Zheng at the side glanced at the pastry, and then at Ye Jiu, with a bit of worry in her eyes.

Ye Jiu raised his head and said helplessly, "I gave medicine to the princess, and I put it in the food I brought. I must be sick."

She sighed from the bottom of her heart, she is quite a high-ranking person, can she use her brain.

Chu Shishen felt a headache right now, Shi Jin was right, even if it was drugged, he would definitely have to get himself out.

"But who else has touched this pastry?"

Pang Yan heard the words and thought about it carefully, then knelt down and replied, "Return...Return to Your Majesty, the princess likes this pastry, so the servants have saved it, and no one else has touched it..."

Ye Jiu turned his head and said, "Then why is the princess fine after eating that day?"

Chu Shishen also felt that something was wrong, so he turned his attention to Imperial Physician Wang who was kneeling beside Ye Jiu, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

"Doctor Wang, what is the reason?"

Imperial Physician Wang had no choice but to bow his hands, "Your Majesty, the loose tendons on this pastry are very ingenious. If you eat a piece or two, you won't feel anything. If you eat all of them, you will notice."

Ye Jiu understood it, and summed it up in one sentence, the medicine was given by himself.

"Then why did the seventeenth prince not lose his limbs after eating it, but instead had diarrhea?"

Imperial Physician Wang glanced at Ye Jiu, and said again: "The Seventeenth Prince is young and has a weak spleen and stomach. A small amount of Ruanjin Powder will not make him limp, but it will stimulate the stomach, so he will have continuous diarrhea."

Ye Jiu: ...

Chu Shishen looked at Ye Jiu with a livid face, and then at Imperial Physician Wang, his head was about to explode.

Imperial Physician Wang is the head of the Imperial Hospital, he said it himself, there is no way he could be wrong, so the current Zhenyuanhou is considered to be on the cutting edge.

Ye Jiu never expected such a result, just like what she just blurted out, she only drugged the princess when her brain was kicked by a donkey.

So, as Shao'er expected, she was plotted against.

After Ye Jiu figured it out, he shut his mouth and forced himself to calm down. The more he got to this point, the less he could panic.

Then she cupped her hands, and said in a deep voice: "The minister and the eighth princess have only met each other a few times, so there is no reason to drug the princess."

The Empress Dowager felt that there was some truth, and before her brows were relieved, she heard the Dowager Qi muttering suddenly: "I came here quickly to hear that the Prince Zhenyuan has been very close to the Eighth Princess since he was a child. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of this... ..."

So much for dying, Concubine Qi also spared half a sentence to give everyone ample room for imagination.

Today's palace news: The little prince and the eighth princess actually did such a thing in the palace. Some netizens commented: Shameless!

Apparently everyone here thinks the same way, and those who didn't think about it are also getting closer to this aspect.

At this moment, the empress dowager's complexion was already very ugly. This matter was related to the face of the royal family. If it was accidentally spread, the daughter of the royal family might be labeled as promiscuous.

"Marquis Zhenyuan, think about it carefully, is it because you are greedy for the princess and intend to use dirty means to achieve your goal?"

The Empress Dowager reminded Ye Jiu that as long as you bear the thunder, the princess will still be the one who has not been accused. If you don't admit it, the water will be muddy, and the princess will probably make a man criticized.

Ye Jiu gritted her teeth, she raised her eyes to look at the queen mother, there was an indescribable seriousness in those phoenix eyes.

Concubine Zheng's lips trembled twice, but under the empress dowager's deep gaze, she closed her mouth again.

It's just that Ye Jiu didn't have the time to study the expressions in their eyes at this time, she looked straight at Chu Shishen without any fear.

Damn, you asked me to go to the Xiyin Palace, and you asked me to coax the princess. How dare you hold back when something happened to the mother? ?

Chu Shishen seemed to understand the meaning in her eyes in an instant, he coughed lightly, "My queen, Lin Qing is an upright person, and she is really a clean and self-sufficient person. Lin Qing doesn't bother to do such dirty things."

The queen mother frowned, she didn't want to fall out with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, it was just about the face of the royal family, and she couldn't help it.

"Eat, eat..."

Just when the atmosphere in the palace was extremely weird, the Eighth Princess Chu Sheng who was having fun at the side suddenly laughed out loud, pointing at random.

Everyone was taken aback. Seeing this, Concubine Zheng was afraid that she would do something amazing again, so she quickly ordered: "Pang Yan, don't take the princess away yet!"

After Pang Yan took the order, he hurried to help Chu Sheng, but before he touched his hand, he saw Chu Sheng lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Ye Jiu looked at Chu Sheng lying beside him, and fell silent.

The eighth princess has never lost in a professional match.

Chu Shishen felt a little distressed when he saw Chu Sheng's sprawled face, but accidentally saw the bottle that fell from her cuff.

"what is that?"

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Wang picked up the bottle, opened it and smelled it, and suddenly said in surprise, "This is Ruanjinsan?!"

Chu Shishen raised his eyebrows immediately, "Sheng'er, where did you come from?"

He naturally didn't believe that his playful Sheng'er would intentionally harm Seventeenth Brother, but where did she get this bottle?

Ye Jiu also had a face full of disbelief, seeing Chu Sheng pouting and twiddling his fingers in silence.

The queen mother saw this scene and asked Pang Yan directly, "Tell me, where did the princess get the medicine?"

Pang Yan was so frightened that he fell on the ground, "Servant... I don't know, the princess has many gadgets, and I don't know what it is..."

Chu Sheng seemed tired of hearing everyone's chatter, grabbed the bottle from Doctor Wang's hand, and poured all the powder inside on the pastry.

"Sheng'er!"

Chu Shishen and the Queen Mother were the closest, so he was taken aback, while Ye Jiu, who had been kneeling at the bottom of the steps, was almost covered in powder thrown out by Chu Sheng.

Are you kidding me, we are also Ruanjinsan after all, can we just take a bite like flour? ?

"Eat, eat..."

However, Chu Sheng didn't realize it, and pointed to the plate to let Chu Shishen eat the "super-full" pastry.

Chu Shishen: ...

Chu Sheng suddenly covered his stomach again: "It hurts..."

Not as nervous as Chu Shishen, Chu Sheng opened his arms happily again: "It's fun!"

Crowd: ...

Obviously, the eighth princess's silky operation successfully irritated several big bosses present.

"presumptuous!"

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Concubine Zheng yelled angrily, "Chu Sheng, you are so courageous to mess around here!"

She glanced at the queen mother who was covering her nose, and hurriedly said: "It's because of your playfulness that you made your seventeenth brother sick with abdominal pain, and you almost deceived the queen mother and the emperor, and made the Marquis of Zhenyuan suffer injustice!"

Chu Sheng was stunned by the yelling, and fell to his knees with a plop, trembling with Jiu Lianhuan in his hand.

Ye Jiu lowered her head, only feeling a faint fragrance coming from her side, and she even heard Chu Sheng's rapid breathing because of fear.

"Come here, the eighth princess has a stubborn personality and is difficult to discipline. She was punished with thirty hands. Her maid Pang Yan neglected her duties and was pulled out to kill her with a stick."

As soon as Concubine Zheng finished speaking, Ye Jiu clearly felt a low sobbing sound coming from the side.

Ye Jiu raised his head in an instant, and saw Chu Sheng with his head down, holding on to Jiu Lianhuan with both hands, his whole body trembling.

For a moment, Ye Jiuren's brain seemed to be run over, his mind seemed to be mosaiced, everything he saw and heard was blurred.

She blinked vigorously, and when she turned her head, she happened to meet Chu Shishen who was frowning.

Chu Shishen raised his eyebrows at Pang Yan, Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

At this point, the punishment is to give her and the queen mother a balance, so the most suitable person to intercede now is herself.

In fact, even if it wasn't suitable, Ye Jiu would definitely speak up.

"Back to the empress dowager, it is now the time of worshiping the Buddha and fasting, it is really inappropriate to kill, I hope the empress dowager thinks twice."

Hearing the words, Chu Shishen quickly took over the words, "Yes, if I kill a life at this time, I'm afraid it will appear that my heart is not sincere. Besides, Pang Yan has been with Xiaoba since childhood. If she is executed, Xiaoba will also be seriously ill. It's been a game."

The Empress Dowager was worried that there was no step to go down. At this time, the ladder was already in front of her eyes, and she hurried down the donkey.

"What Your Majesty said is that the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty is inevitable, and she will be fined fifty boards."

Chu Shishen pointed at Pang Yan: "Eunuch Fang, take it down."

"Yes."

When Ye Jiu heard that it was Eunuch Fang, his frown finally relaxed a little. It seemed that Pang Yan would be fine.

As Pang Yan was dragged away by the little eunuch, the room was eerily quiet for a moment.Seeing the momentary embarrassment of the scene, the Empress Dowager calmed down, not at all as fierce as before, she smiled and said:

"Today's farce is really due to the lack of strict discipline of the court ladies. I hope the Marquis of Zhenyuan will not take it to heart."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had let go, Ye Jiu had no choice but to bow his hands, "Thank you Empress Dowager for your compassion."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two punishment nuns had already walked into the hall, and after getting the Queen Mother's approval, they went straight to Chu Sheng's side.

Ye Jiu knelt beside her, and watched helplessly as two strong women forcibly opened the palms of a small body with no flesh.

"Don't... woo..."

Where Chu Sheng managed to break free, he was pinned down within a few strokes.

At the same time, the Nine Chains fell, and Chu Sheng's cries were ignored, and even at the moment of falling, one of the palace servants accidentally stepped on it.

"Play..."

Ye Jiu didn't even have time to pick it up, the Jiu Lianhuan had already been trampled to pieces.

Her hands froze in the air, and she could almost guess what Chu Sheng would look like at this moment.

Seeing his favorite toy being trampled on at will, Chu Sheng seemed to have his throat stuck, wanted to shout but couldn't, tears fell down without money.She struggled to pick it up, but she couldn't break free from the restraint of the palace man.

"Snapped--"

The nurse in charge only said that the eighth princess was hard to tame, and she dared to do something wrong in front of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, and she was even more merciless in her attacks.

Ye Jiu was the closest and could see the most clearly. The sound of the board was so loud that she could even feel Chu Sheng's body tremble instinctively, and even the crying stopped.

Ye Jiu frowned, and looked up at Chu Shishen, only to see that guy who loved his sister like his life was holding his forehead, with one hand on his knee, and kept tapping.

She understood that Chu Sheng's plan was settled.

This kind of ending is indeed the least loss. It seems that the "culprit" has been found out. It not only settles the grievances of Concubine Qi, but also does not involve the foreign ministers. It can be said that the harem is peaceful and the monarch and ministers are harmonious.

But only the most innocent Chu Sheng was sacrificed.

"Snapped--"

Heart-wrenching cries and panting sounds kept filling his ears, Ye Jiu clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead were a little protruding.

Chu Shishen couldn't bear to see it, so she stood up and gave Ye Jiu a look, she understood immediately, leaned over and kowtowed, and followed him to the outside of the hall.

"Snapped--"

The sound of the wooden board hitting the palm behind him was still loud, and Chu Sheng's crying gradually weakened, and only a shallow whimper could be heard.

Ye Jiulin paused when he stepped out of the palace gate, then gritted his teeth, and stepped out without looking back.

In the cuff, the broken Nine Links pierced her palm so painfully.
