Three days later, the queen held a large banquet to celebrate Chuyue's ascension to the throne and to celebrate his birthday.

In the welcoming hall, almost everyone who can speak in the court has come.

In the front, there was singing, dancing and piano playing, and in the back, there was a talk about poetry and Taoism. All the ministers were accompanied by smiles on their faces.

Just when the banquet was halfway through, He Rufeng, the general of the Northwest, rushed into the hall and knelt on the ground: "My lord! The deposed Emperor Ning Yuanyu was killed on his way to Beihuang at noon today, and all his followers were killed."

"Can you find out who it is?" Chu Yue put down his wine glass and said in a sullen voice.

He Rufeng tremblingly took out a red bottle and presented it to him.

He took it, a little puzzled.

"My lord, this bottle is filled with poisonous insects unique to the Xianbei tribe. Those who are bitten will only have unbearable itching symptoms in the early stage, and in the later stage, they will directly transition to breath-holding and die directly."

The Xianbei clan... If it is said that the Xianbei clan was exterminated as early as the time of the first emperor, only the Xianbei people can raise this worm, but anyone who knows Mo Ci's life experience will cast suspicious eyes on him.

The Xianbei tribe, Miepo worm, can kill people on the spot. It is suitable for growing in damp and dark places. It has three legs.

Since the larval stage, it has been sucking various blood for a living. Its saliva has an anesthetic effect, and when bitten, it feels like a mosquito bite.

Within a day, the bitten person will experience itching all over his body, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and usually to such an extent that the person will generally die.

Since the Xianbei people are born with poison, their detoxification effect comes with their heart and soul, so only they can cultivate this extermination insect.

Chu Yue opened the bottle cap, and the bugs inside were already dead.

The queen poked her head over, took a look, and said to Mo Ci, "What do you think, my lord?"

"Is the queen suspicious of me?" He drank a glass of wine, pursed his lips, and did not look at the queen above.

"I don't dare to doubt Master Guoshi, I just heard that Guoshi is from Xianbei, and I should know this bug better than us." Chen Qingxuan glanced at Chu Yue when he said this.

Chu Yue was looking at Mo Ci with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Mo Ci put down his wine glass, looked at her and said with a smile: "Although I am from Xianbei, I have never been exposed to this insect when I was young. Perhaps it is because of the eggs in the Northern Wilderness that it multiplies."

"National teacher, you also know that this Ning Yuan is also a member of the Longxia royal family. If you can't find out who killed him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the late emperor to rest his eyes."

"Queen, please leave this matter to Dali Temple for thorough investigation, so you don't need to interfere." Chu Yue was very annoyed by the Queen's actions.

"My lord! I am willing to investigate this matter." Situ Fang raised his glass and stood up and said.

Mo Ci sneered and said, "It's just the deposed emperor, who dies as soon as he dies, why does the Holy One think of brotherhood at this moment?"

Before Chu Yue could speak, Situ Fang gambled him back.

"Mo Ci! Your Majesty is a person with the utmost affection and nature, unlike you, who is cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people like hemp!"

"From General Situ's point of view, could it be that I killed the trash Ning Yuan?" He poured himself some wine and drank it casually.

He has long been used to these accusations, and he can only laugh at such murderous, cold-blooded and ruthless charges.

If it affects my mood because of this, it is not worth it. The most correct thing this Ningyuan child has done in this life is to give him a blame.

If there is an uprising in a place, it must be the ghost of the national teacher; if a minister is imprisoned, the national teacher must have charged him with dereliction of duty;

What's even more ridiculous is that there are rumors among the people that he is promiscuous and molested women from good families.

Situ Fang can be said to have the upper hand when facing a calm person like Mo Ci.

"I just said you were ruthless and cold-blooded, not that you killed him."

Mo Ci picked up a clean wine glass by the table, filled it with wine, got up and held the wine glass with one hand behind his back, and walked towards Situ Fang. At the banquet today, he was wearing a white dress with a gold thread trim. The whole person faded away from the cold, strong breath of the past.

On the contrary, he looked cold and out of the dust, and those who didn't know thought this was the gentle and jade-like young man.
