Jade of Rebirth

Yuan Heng glanced at the court lady, his face was as usual, and he still looked at Yu Li with a smile on his face.

Yu Li touched the wine in the wine bottle, and said: "It turns out the wine is still warm, it's good." As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and wanted to take a sip, but he was stopped by Yuan Heng, who looked at Yuan in surprise Heng, seeing Yuan Heng smiled and said to him:

"Aren't you always curious about the concubine's cat? Nong, isn't it cute?"

Yu Li looked behind and saw a palace maid holding a white cat. The cat's fur was snow-white, smooth and shiny, but its eyes were blue, crystal clear like gemstones, and you could tell its value at a glance Affordable pets.

He immediately smiled, and said to Concubine Xian who turned around: "Mother Concubine, I saw that the little thing is really cute, can I give it a hug?"

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Hug it, this little beast is very delicate in everything else, it's good to be single, it just doesn't recognize its birth, anyone who looks gentle wants to hug it, it won't resist."

Seeing this, the concubine Xian's maid handed the cat to Yuli, and Yuli took the cat, only to feel that the cat was a bit heavy, like a newborn baby, and her temper was very docile, and she didn't struggle at all. Let him hug her, her paws are clean again, her pads are pink and tender, very cute.

"This little thing is very similar to you, Li'er." Yuan Heng smiled and reached out to touch the cat's head.

"Nonsense, how does it look like?" Yu Li smiled and spat at him.

Yuan Heng then said: "Hey, she's usually very docile, but she would lose her temper when she doesn't like it, she looks like she's showing her teeth and claws, and she looks really cute, isn't she like Li'er?"

Concubine Xian laughed aside and said, "Li'er, don't pay attention to him, how can you compare people to cats? Heng'er is drunk."

Yu Li smiled, watching Yuan Heng holding the chopsticks, dipping wine into his glass for the cat to eat, and said: "If you are really drunk, how can anyone feed the cat?"

"Why can't you drink wine to the cat?" Yuan Heng smiled and said, "Neng, don't you see that it licks happily? Maybe it was also a wine master in the previous life!"

Yuli couldn't help laughing at his poor words, and asked again: "Mother, what's the name of this cat?"

Concubine Xian nodded her mouth with her handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's snow white all over, so I gave it a nickname, 'Bai Xue'."

"So it's called Baixue, what a great..." As soon as Yuli finished speaking, the cat in her arms suddenly cried out sadly:

"Meow meow……"

Yu Li was taken aback, thinking that he had hurt it somewhere, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong with it? Did I hurt it somewhere?"

But the cat was screaming in pain and pain, and it didn't stop, as if it was being tormented by something. Concubine Xian and the maid who was serving cats beside her also changed their expressions.

Only Yuan Heng who was sitting facing Yu Li was calm, but the light in Dan Feng's eyes had already cooled down.

The cat was in extreme pain, rolling in Yu Li's arms, and was about to grab Yu Li's hand with its claws. Yuan Heng's eyes were quick, and he knocked the cat to the ground. The cat twitched in pain on the ground a few times. Then the mouth and nose were bleeding, and there was no movement after opening the eyes.

Seeing this, Yuli and Concubine Xian were shocked.

There was too much movement on their side, and everyone in the hall looked at them, especially the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhang Wu, who frowned and looked over with doubts and displeasure.

Yuan Heng pulled Yu Li into his arms to protect him, and said: "Li'er, don't be afraid, it's fine, it's not because of you, don't be afraid..."

Concubine Xian suddenly came back to her senses after passing by in shock, and screamed: "Bai Xue!"

"Aifei, is it so lively over there?" Emperor Zhang Wu finally couldn't help but asked.

The audience was silent, everyone stood up and looked towards them suspiciously.

"Father, the concubine's Bai Xue is dead!" Yuan Heng seemed to try his best to cover up his panic, his former humility and gentleness had long since disappeared.

The queen mother was a little unhappy, and said: "This New Year's Eve, okay, why did a cat die?"

"Grandmother, Bai Xue's death is not due to other reasons..." Yuan Heng said anxiously, "It died of poisoning, I just fed it some wine from Li Er's cup..." As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something , and said, "By the way, it was that maid of honor just now!"

"What's going on?" Emperor Zhang Wu couldn't help paying attention when he heard it.

Yu Li, who was in Yuan Heng's arms, heard Yuan Heng's words, and naturally understood, and hurriedly broke out of Yuan Heng's embrace, cupped his hands at Emperor Zhang Wu, and said: "Father, it's like this, just now a court lady touched you." He turned over the minister's wine bottle, and then sent another wine bottle up for the minister. After pouring the wine, the minister hadn't drunk it yet. While teasing the cat, the prince fed the wine to Bai Xue with chopsticks, and Bai Xue just, just..."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian stepped forward with red eyes, "It doesn't matter if my concubine's Bai Xue is dead, but according to what the children said, someone is trying to harm Li'er! Bai Xue just missed the passenger car, and Li Daitao just died! Your Majesty, please be aware!"

When Emperor Zhang Wu heard the words, he was furious immediately, and said: "Presumptuous! How dare someone do such dirty things under my nose! Come, go tell the imperial doctor, and call all the maids on duty today to investigate! "

"Yes!"

Soon, the imperial doctor came in a hurry, picked up Yuli's wine bottle and tried it with a silver needle, and sure enough, the silver needle turned black in an instant, and tried the wine in the jug again, but the color of the silver needle did not change.Then, he checked Bai Xue's body on the ground, and finally, facing the queen mother and the emperor in front of everyone, said:

"My Majesty, according to my opinion, this is the most poisonous poison in the world... Poisonous poison!"

Everyone gasped... If Yu Li didn't tease the cat, but drank the wine, he might be the one lying on the ground now...

The imperial doctor said again: "Let's check by Yichen, the wine in the wine glass is poisonous, but the wine in the jug is not poisonous, it should be that the other party smeared poison on the wine bottle..."

"Sure enough, it was the maid who sent the poisoned wine bottle up!" Yuan Heng said bitterly.

Concubine Xian hurriedly took a step forward when she heard the words, prostrated herself in front of the Empress Dowager, and said: "Your Majesty, Heng'er has just been crowned king and can speak again. It is just when the limelight is in full swing that such vicious things happened. The concubine really has to think about it... What's more, today is New Year's Eve, and such a big event happened. The person who poisoned him obviously didn't take His Majesty seriously, and ignored His Majesty and the Queen Mother. I beg Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to take this Thoroughly investigate the matter, and give Li'er justice!"

Yu Li also took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, your life is not worth cherishing, but someone who poisons you under your majesty's nose is too arrogant and despises your majesty!"

His implication is, of course, that if someone can do it once, he can do it a second time. The other party is so crazy, and now he is harming me. Who knows who will be harmed next time?Maybe it will be the emperor next time!

When Emperor Zhang Wu heard this, he became more and more furious, and said: "You two got up, today's matter should be investigated carefully, otherwise some people are really lawless!" Then he said to the waiter beside him: " Sun Fan, go and call all the maids serving today to see who changed the wine bottle for Yuli!"

"Yes!" The grandson's servant left in a hurry, and came up quickly, bringing up 24 court ladies. When those court ladies heard about the murder of the princess, they were all worried, kneeling on the ground trembling, not even breathing. Dare to take a bite.

"Innocence, don't be guilty, raise your heads, let Prince Zhao and Princess Wang recognize each other!"

All the maids raised their heads timidly, only the maid in the farthest corner still lowered her head, her whole body was shaking like a sieve, she felt guilty when she saw it, so the servant Sun immediately sternly said to her:

"You, look up!"
