Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Yang Bai'an and Liu Lanze were definitely not the only ones with problems in the palace. Zhou Xingzhi soon realized this, and immediately ordered Wei Zhong to start an investigation.

"Xingzhi, are you saying that someone has attacked Concubine Yang?" Ye Ningxuan frowned slightly, feeling a little uncertain, "Could it be that the imperial physician who diagnosed Concubine Yang has a problem."

Zhou Xingzhi shook her head. She couldn't tell Ye Ningxuan that she detected the problem with her brain, so she could only vaguely say, "I found a very strange smell on her body. I used to... Li Zhaoyun smelled it."

Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips, "Li Zhaoyun likes to go out recently, and often visits Concubine Yang and Concubine Liu, you mean, she took advantage of that time to attack? But why did she target Concubine Yang?"

Zhou Xingzhi shook his head, "She didn't target Yang Bai'an, but her methods only succeeded in harming Yang Bai'an."

"Ning Xuan, the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is coming soon. I have a hunch that something will happen to this palace banquet. When you arrange it, it's best..."

Although Zhou Xingzhi didn't know what would happen at the palace banquet, it didn't prevent her from preparing for the worst in advance.A false alarm is the best, but if someone really wants to make trouble at the palace banquet, she can't sit still.

The next day, Zhou Xingzhi went to the place where Li Zhaoyun was after the morning court.Zhou Xingzhi didn't say hello in advance, but when she arrived, Li Zhaoyun was still copying Buddhist scriptures very diligently.

"Concubine, see Your Majesty." Li Zhaoyun put down her pen and bowed her knees.

"Excuse me." Zhou Xingzhi looked indifferent, she didn't want to give Li Zhaoyun any good looks, lest she have thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"I asked you to copy Buddhist scriptures, how many did you copy?" Zhou Xingzhi sat on a chair, keeping a certain distance from Li Zhaoyun.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have copied more than 80 copies so far. When I have copied a hundred copies, I will send them to the temple to pray for Your Majesty." Li Zhaoyun said, with a hint of irritability in her eyes.

I don't know what's going on, but recently she's been feeling sick all the time, even if she asks the imperial doctor to see her, she can't find any problems, only when she's copying Buddhist scriptures, she won't feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Xingzhi nodded. In order not to have unnecessary contact with Li Zhaoyun, he could only spend more energy in his brain to check her situation.

[Master, there are many parasite larvae on Li Zhaoyun's body, and there is also a parasite similar to a female parasite near her stomach. ] Zhinao quickly gave the answer, 【According to the trace analysis, it should have entered her body from the kit hanging around her waist. 】

"A lot of larvae?" Zhou Xingzhi frowned.After going back yesterday, she made a special investigation, asked people with special abilities in the imperial guards, and finally judged that the parasites mentioned by Zhinao were Gu worms.

The Gu worms came from the southern border, and the people in the Imperial Guard knew a little bit about it, but they knew that if the person with the mother Gu was killed, all the child Gu would also die.Of course, the premise is that this kind of Gu is not a companion Gu, otherwise the death of the child Gu will also lead to the death of the parasitized person.

Zhou Xingzhi is not the kind of person who likes to take risks, so she did not make a decision hastily, but continued to let Zhinao check Li Zhaoyun's situation.

"Your Majesty, it will be time for lunch soon, what do you want to eat?" Li Zhaoyun asked, with a flash of calculation in her eyes.Your Majesty is willing to come here, and what the adults gave her has already played a role.

From now on, she only needs to succeed in getting Zhou Xingzhi to stay. Once she is favored, she will definitely become pregnant, and after ten months, she will successfully give birth to His Majesty's eldest son.In this way, it won't take long for her to be the queen mother.

Zhou Xingzhi didn't know that she just sat in Li Zhaoyun's palace for a while, she was thinking so much, and even had unrealistic daydreams.

After spending some time confirming that there is something wrong with Li Zhaoyun, Zhou Xingzhi's goal has almost been achieved, "You can stay here for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Tell me what you plan to do, and then come out."

After getting the news he wanted, Zhou Xingzhi's attitude became even colder, and he directly ordered the imperial guards to surround the palace gate, and allowed Li Zhaoyun to come out without his permission.

"Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty treat me like this? Did I do something wrong?" After hearing Zhou Xingzhi's order, Li Zhaoyun panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and began to pretend to be pitiful.

If Zhou Xingzhi was interested in beauty, he might feel a little pity seeing Li Zhaoyun's pitiful appearance.But Zhou Xingzhi was not, her feelings were all given to Ye Ningxuan, there was nothing superfluous.

"If I don't say something, it doesn't mean I don't know." Zhou Xingzhi stood at the gate of the palace, looking at Li Zhaoyun indifferently, "For the sake of your entering the palace and becoming a concubine, I will give you a chance, as long as you put your Tell me everything you know, and I will let you out of the palace and not hold you accountable, otherwise..."

Some people say that it is more deterrent to keep half and half, because people with a guilty conscience will always think about the result in the most favorable direction.

Li Zhaoyun held the threshold tightly with her hands, a trace of struggle and fear flashed in her eyes.Impossible, this is impossible, she didn't show any flaws at all, His Majesty must be deceiving her, she can survive by not saying anything, if she did, it would really be a dead end.

But...if His Majesty really knows everything, if he doesn't say anything, will he...

Zhou Xingzhi didn't care about Li Zhaoyun's inner struggle, he left the words and went back. She still wanted to have dinner with Ye Ningxuan.

Zhou Xingzhi doesn't know how to solve the Gu worm, but she is the emperor, as long as she gives an order, someone will help her find an adult who knows these things.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Zhou Xingzhi solved Yang Bai'an's problem, and by the way, he also helped Liu Lanze get rid of the larvae that hadn't breathed much.

【Master, according to the scans, there are at least 20 more Gu worms in the palace. If we want to clear them all, it will consume a lot of energy. 】Used nearly one-fifth of the energy to scan the situation of the palace.

"Don't worry about other things, just find someone." Zhou Xingzhi said, there are more than 20 people, it seems that the person behind the scenes is really not Li Zhaoyun, if I guessed correctly, it probably has something to do with Prince Jia.

The fixed time for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is at night, and it will start after the sun goes down.But those who are going to the banquet basically start preparing early in the morning, bathe, change clothes and burn incense. After the tossing, it is almost noon.After a hasty lunch, they took their families to the banquet one by one.

There are many people who come to attend the palace banquet, but there are very few who are qualified to be in the hall, and they are basically senior officials of the fourth rank or above.The position of the officials is at the front, and their family members are at the back, with snacks and refreshments on the table in front of them.

Prince Jia can be said to be the highest-ranking prince except for Zhou Xingzhi. He sits in the first seat on the left, and the next one is the Xiaoyao King Zhou Xingyuan, who is disabled by his legs.

Zhou Xingyuan's leg was broken that year. After collecting evidence from Jiangnan's officialdom, the accident happened the day after he left.If the rescue was not done properly, his life would be on the line.

After all the guests arrived, the eunuch outside the door also started to shout, "The emperor, the queen mother, and the empress have arrived."

"Your Majesty is welcome, long live my emperor, long live, long live..." There was a sound of kneeling and worshiping.

Zhou Xingzhi walked in the front, Ye Ningxuan and Qin Ran were half a step behind her, followed by Zhong Qingyi, Liu Lanze and Yang Bai'an.

"Excuse me, everyone." Zhou Xingzhi glanced past Prince Jia who was bowing his head, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked away.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can be as casual as you like, and you don't have to stick to the rigid rules." Zhou Xingzhi said with a smile, and stood and took the wine glass from Wei Zhong's hand, "I won't say anything about the scene, Thank you all for sharing my worries and seeking the well-being of the people during this time, I respect you all for this cup."

Zhou Xingzhi gulped down directly, and the adults below naturally bent down to salute, and directly drank the wine in the glass.

After the banquet started, the hot dishes were brought up one by one by the maids, and the song and dance troupe prepared in advance also appeared on the stage, dancing and playing, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Prince Jia is also in a good mood today. He got the news from the old Taoist priest that a total of 25 Gu worms survived in the palace. Although it is different from the expected [-], it is still enough to be useful.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the scene became even better.Looking at the smiling Zhou Xingzhi, Prince Jia secretly gestured to the waiters around him, then picked up the wine glass, and dropped it on the ground as if accidentally.

At the moment when the wine glass fell to the ground, the little eunuch who was waiting on the side suddenly jumped up, took out a knife from his boot, and stabbed Zhou Xingzhi.

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous!" Wei Zhong reacted the fastest, and directly blocked Zhou Xingzhi with his body.

Before the knife stabbed Wei Zhong, Jiang Qianwei, who had taught Ye Ningxuan swordsmanship, suddenly appeared, kicked him away, and stood in front of Zhou Xingzhi holding the sword.

It wasn't just the little eunuch who suddenly exploded. Fifteen eunuchs and maids in the hall took out sharp weapons, some attacked the ministers around them, and the other rushed to Zhou Xingzhi in unison.

Zhou Xingzhi held Ye Ningxuan's hand, protected her behind him, watched calmly and calmly the guards who had been prepared for a long time appeared, knocked everyone out neatly, and then quickly dragged them down.

This scene happened very quickly. Almost before the ministers could react, the palace servants and the imperial guards appeared at once, and then disappeared all at once.

"Your Majesty, are you alright, Your Majesty?" Wei Zhong asked nervously. Although the imperial guards moved very quickly, he was still unavoidably frightened.

"It's okay." Zhou Xingzhi let go of Ye Ningxuan's hand, and glanced at the ministers present, "Everyone, don't panic, those assassins just now have been taken away."

"Your Majesty, the appearance of assassins in the imperial city is no small matter. These people may have allies, and they need to seal off the palace entrance and the capital immediately." Prime Minister Liu's face turned pale, as if he was frightened.

"No need, I know who the assassin's accomplice is." Zhou Xingzhi said calmly, his eyes fell on Prince Jia undisguised.
