After returning to the palace, Pingyao locked herself in her room and vowed not to get married, but He Yu was too busy to care about her so she put the matter aside for the time being.

Instead, he returned to Banshan Temple and stayed for a while, and did not enter the palace until three days before the birthday banquet.During this period, He Yu was busy preparing for the rebellion, except for meeting He Yanzhi and He Yanzhi occasionally, so he didn't bother them.

Most of the plans of the two were also watched by Xiao Hongyin. He Yanzhi was well raised by Xiao Hongyin. Looking at Yunjuan and Yunshu, he actually had the illusion of a peaceful time.

"It's not bad to find a small courtyard in the future and live like this."

He Yanzhi raised his head to admire the round moon, and threw a piece of pea yellow into his mouth, accidentally choked on it, and Xiao Hongyin said a few words.

"Doctor Liu's medicine is good, and he can move a little these few days." He Yanzhi moved his left arm in order to divert Xiao Hongyin's attention.

"If you move around again, you will be banned for three days." Xiao Hongyin frowned and restrained his body from moving around, grabbed the pea yellow from his hand and carried him back to the house.

He Yanzhi stared at Pea Yellow who was far away from him, and after being put on the couch, he blinked and said: "At least bring in the snacks, don't waste it."

"I still want to eat, it seems that I won't learn a lesson." Xiao Hongyin blamed him, but in fact he brought the food in silently, and walked towards the bed under He Yanzhi's expectant eyes.

This pea yellow was made by Xiao Hongyin, and He Yanzhi hadn't had enough of it yet. At this moment, his eyes were full and he was waiting for another bite. Unexpectedly, he got one as he wished. His fingers suddenly lost strength, and the pea yellow rolled to the ground.

"Ayin..."

"Yanzhi!"

He Yanzhi was about to fall forward as soon as his body became weak, Xiao Hongyin hugged him in time, and put his palm on his forehead.

"Yanzhi! But the cold poison broke out again?"

Just now, He Yanzhi only felt a fragrance penetrate into his body, and in an instant, the sky and the earth spun in front of his eyes, and his whole body lost strength.

After being hugged by Xiao Hongyin, he became groggy again, his face gradually became hot, and there was a heart-rending itching wherever he touched Xiao Hongyin.

He Yanzhi felt that this feeling of powerlessness seemed familiar. It was similar to the feeling he had when he was in Hongji Iron Shop, but it was even stronger. He immediately understood that he had been drugged.

"Ayin...I..."

He Yanzhi wanted to tell Xiao Hongyin about this, but he opened his mouth in a daze and couldn't finish a sentence, so anxious that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt hotter and hotter.

Xiao Hongyin looked at his appearance, no matter how dull he was, he could guess what happened, so he also threw a piece of pea yellow into his mouth, and there was no abnormality after eating.

"It's not...it's..."

He Yanzhi's hand was hanging down weakly, he wanted to pull Xiao Hongyin's collar, but he could only move his fingers slightly, and rubbed his whole body against his arms impatiently.

Xiao Hongyin only felt that the most painful thing was the present. Although he was very thirsty, he could only forcefully coax: "Yanzhi bear it, I will go find Dr. Liu right now."

Xiao Hongyin restrained the restless people and stuffed him into the quilt. When he was trying to wrap He Yanzhi with the quilt, he inadvertently smelled a strange fragrance, and then looked down at the jade pendant on He Yanzhi's waist.

Seeing that He Yanzhi was getting more and more uncomfortable, Xiao Hongyin had no choice but to take off the jade pendant first, and in a hurry broke in without knocking on the door and brought Liu Ci over.

When Liu Ci felt He Yanzhi's pulse, Xiao Hongyin's limbs suddenly felt weak. He realized something, and put the jade pendant into the kettle, and immediately the originally clear water took on a light red color.

At first Liu Ci couldn't tell what kind of poison it was, but after looking at the color of the water, he understood: "It's Miaojiang's Luohongsan!"

Xiao Hongyin didn't care to ask what it was, and urged him to prepare the antidote as soon as possible, and Liu Ci ran out in response.

Xiao Hongyin completely lost his strength, and sat down on the table and stool. He looked at He Yanzhi who was also suffering on the couch, and unconsciously wanted to get up and approach, but his heart was hardened, and he forcibly removed one of his arms.

"Ayin!"

He Yanzhi couldn't bear to see him like this, he struggled and fell to the ground, Xiao Hongyin had no choice but to help him up.

As soon as he came into contact with the two, he couldn't help wanting to get closer, but fortunately Liu Ci rushed in quickly with the antidote.

After taking the antidote to the two of them, He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin gradually calmed down, and Xiao Hongyin took his arm back silently.

"This Luohongsan is attracted by the moonlight. Today happened to be the night of the full moon, and the jade pendant was affected by the moonlight, so the medicine dispersed." Liu Ci explained.

After recovering his strength, Xiao Hongyin hugged He Yanzhi to the couch, then asked Liu Ci, "Is it just the night of the full moon?"

Liu Ci shook his head and said: "Only a small amount of Luohongsan was applied on the jade pendant, the moonlight is not enough on weekdays, and it is at its most prosperous tonight."

A small amount will make people unable to support it, but no amount of it will pay off.

He Yanzhi leaned against the bed tiredly, closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Hongyin, who was also looking at him at the same time.

"What day is today?" He Yanzhi's voice was a little hurried.

"On the eve of the birthday banquet."

Xiao Hongyin showed worry in his eyes, he hurriedly got up to take the sword, and He Yanzhi also hurriedly turned over and stayed on the bed.

Liu Ci didn't understand why they were like this, but he saw He Yanzhi struggling to tie the soft sword to his waist while explaining to him: "He Yu didn't plan to do anything on the day of the birthday banquet at all, he deliberately calculated the date to confuse me And Ah Yin, just for tonight's assassination!"

He Yanzhi figured out the whole thing in just a short moment.

It was too easy for Pingyao to get the information. Most likely He Yu deliberately asked Wu Chong to reveal the false news to her, making them think that He Yu would do something on the day of the birthday banquet.

And He Yu expected that He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin had a deep relationship, and they would not be able to hold on to the medicine, and also thought that the day to do it had not yet come, so they could stay in Banshan Temple for one night, and they would be satisfied when they woke up the next day. .

"You stay here!" Xiao Hongyin stopped He Yanzhi, now that his injury has not recovered, the palace is too dangerous.

"Then, does Ah Yin know the fastest way to the palace?" He Yanzhi also carried some hidden weapons on his body, and dragged Xiao Hongyin to the back mountain without waiting for a reply.

Now that the situation was urgent and there was no time to delay, Xiao Hongyin had no choice but to ask He Yanzhi to stop and inform Liu Dan, and told him to inform Zhao Ji as soon as possible, and then he found the stone steps that had been abandoned for a long time.

"The road is not easy to walk, come up."

Xiao Hongyin slightly bent his knees, and He Yanzhi lay on his back.Xiao Hongyin stabilized his back and pointed his toes, and flew down the stone steps.Liu Dan followed closely behind them.

After about a stick of incense, the three of them came to the foot of the mountain, followed the abandoned path, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

Liu Dan found the hidden stake left by the prince through the code, and told them the situation, and the other party immediately sent someone to pass on the message.

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin didn't intend to make a move at first, but after their behind-the-scenes planning, the prince had already ambushed people, and he only had to do it on the day of the birthday banquet.But now the situation has changed, He Yanzhi and the two don't know what's going on in the palace, and they are anxiously trying to figure out how to sneak into the palace.

At this moment, a carriage drove across the main street towards the palace gate, and He Yanzhi hurriedly stopped it.

"Young Master He, Young Master Xiao?"

"His Royal Highness, the situation has changed!"

As soon as He Sheng heard this, he quickly got the two of them into the car, and listened to their explanation of the situation while entering the palace.

"This is true! This king is about to enter the palace, isn't he one step late?!" He Sheng was so anxious that the coachman hurried on, but he was forced to stop at the gate of the palace and conduct a cumbersome search.

He Sheng lost his patience, got out of the carriage and walked to the palace on foot.

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin pretended to be his guards and followed around, striding towards Cuiwei Palace.

……

When He Yu was called to the front of Shengjia, He Yao was watching the moon in Lingxiang Pavilion with his concubine Rou in his arms.

He Yao is over fifty years old, and half of his hair has turned white, while the Concubine Rou in his arms looks only twenty-eight years old, and it is at the time when she is about to drop.

Leaning softly and bonelessly in He Yao's arms, she smiled coquettishly and talked back to He Yao. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of He Yu walking towards this side, and secretly winked at him.

He Yu got the hint, and after saluting the two, He Yao played with Concubine Rou's hair, looked at him and said:

"My concubine just told me that she wanted to drink, and I asked someone to bring up several jars, but none of them were satisfied with my concubine."

He Yu understood, and immediately replied: "May I ask Concubine Rou what wine would you like to drink?"

Concubine Rou pretended to be distressed and sighed: "I'm tired of ordinary fine wine, I wonder if the Third Prince might find some fresh ones?"

He Yao laughed loudly when he heard the words, touched Concubine Rou's delicate face and said, "The best wine in the world is in my palace, Rou'er's request is hard for Yu'er."

He Yu smiled and said yes, and then changed the subject: "Father said yes, but Yu'er did prepare some good wine, and wanted to present it to Father as a congratulatory gift."

"Oh? There really is such a good wine that I have never tasted before."

"Huifuhuang is the new wine made by the number one winemaker in Miaojiang. It has been buried under the osmanthus tree for ten years. There is only one cart in the world."

While He Yu was talking, He Yao became curious and ordered him to bring the wine immediately.

He Yu hesitated and said, "Father, this wine is a birthday gift..."

"It's okay, just submit it as soon as possible."

When He Yao gave an order, He Yu had no choice but to order someone to fetch it.

The moon appreciation is still going on, and the dancers outside the pavilion are waving their water sleeves and intertwining into a colorful galaxy.

Concubine Rou twisted a piece of pastry and delivered it to He Yao's mouth. He Yao opened his mouth to pick it up, deliberately biting Concubine Rou's slender fingers, making him coquettish in fright.

He Yu sat silently under the seat, listening to the cheers coming from the water pavilion, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the dancers finished dancing, the people sent by He Yu pushed the wine trolley to the front of Shengjia. He Yao sat up straight without realizing it, and looked up and down.

The entire wine cart is made of high-quality huanghuali wood, carved into the shape of a seven-story exquisite tower, each floor is about one foot high.The whole wine cart is painted with painted birthday congratulatory pictures, exquisite reliefs, luxurious gold patterns, and every detail is carved vividly.On the protruding corners of the eaves, there is a string of expensive pearls, which shake slightly when the tower turns, emitting colorful luster.

He Yu got up and introduced the wine cart to He Yao. Following what he said, the guards in charge of transport started to move the tower body, making each floor of the tower rotate independently, driving the birthday celebration pictures inside, showing the effect of a revolving lantern.

"Okay! Not bad!" He Yao was attracted by this novelty, and he didn't even want Concubine Rou, so Gu Zi walked down from the high seat and wanted to take a closer look.

"Father can still guess where this wine is kept."

Hearing this, He Yao took a closer look and shook his head, so the guard turned the mechanism at the bottom of the car, and the birthday congratulations picture bounced to one side, and several white jade gourds were sent out from the space behind by the mechanism.

He Yao was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly walked a few steps towards the wine cart. He Yu winked at the guard, and the guard raised his finger calmly.

"My lord, it's windy late at night, let the slave come."

At this moment, an old eunuch beside He Yao spoke.He is an old man next to the Queen Mother, even if He Yao doesn't like what he said, he will give him three points.

He Yao stopped walking when he heard the words, and waved him to hurry up.

He Yu gave the old eunuch a cold look.

When the old eunuch took the wine cup to pour the wine, he secretly winked at the young eunuch in the distance, telling him to inform the prince immediately.

"Holy."

The old eunuch presented the wine to He Yao, and He Yao was very satisfied with the smell, took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but not long after he finished drinking, he suddenly lost strength and fell off his seat.
