Trouble occurs at the Lantern Festival banquet (11)

During the Lantern Festival, on the eve of the 15th Lantern Festival, a bright moon disk slowly rises from the horizon.

The stars are dotted, the night is dim, and the beautiful night in Langjing is lingering.

On both sides of the street, there are endless sounds of hawking and shouting, and there are all kinds of juggling.

Xiaoyao is in the middle, with the lingering sound of the pipa, the graceful figure of the dancer, and various kinds of gorgeous clothes and makeup in front of the pavilion.

The whole city of Langjing is filled with the joy of the New Year, with fireworks rising into the sky in a colorful way, celebrating the arrival of the New Year's Eve.

Especially on the Inner City Lake side, all kinds of lanterns shine with color, especially the golden leaf, which reflects the golden light under the candlelight.

Among the batch of lanterns floating out of the Yu River, only Su Rao's sailboat is the most special.

In the boat by the lake, some young man saw it and shouted.

This year's Lantern Festival in the Palace is so special. Are those gold leaves?

The figure immediately moved, tiptoeing into the water, and jumped into the inner city lake, fishing out the small sailboat together with Golden Leaf. There was a look of unexpected joy on his face, but his eyes quickly glanced at Golden Leaf.

Under the colorful candlelight of this night, a few small words seemed to be reflected on this golden leaf, shining with a faint silvery light.

Seeing this, the man took out the gold leaf without leaving any trace and put it in his sleeve.

Anyone who moves slowly feels a pity because they are one step too slow.

Soon after, another small sailboat flowed into the inner city lake. The boats were stacked in various patterns, some were good and some were bad, but they were all filled with gold and silver. For a while, the entire inner city lake was in an uproar, and a scene appeared...

The scene of dumplings being cooked.

"This year's Lantern Folding Festival in Yun Palace was so interesting, and most of it was made up of money."

Xiaoyao lived at the window lattice, and Huanniang was shaking her plume fan. She was dressed in festive red clothes, with rouge adorning the corners of her eyes and a rose.

Various styles.

"But when I look at it, why do I think that this kind of fun can only be done by that little girl? Such a squandering and such a large amount of money. Only a wealthy family like her doesn't know that the money is hard-earned and just throws it away.

This amount is what ordinary people spend for two or three years, and they really don’t know what money is!”

The city of Langjing was even more lively because of this sudden blessing from the Heavenly Family, but the wind was blowing in the Cloud Palace. Concubine Shu inhaled a large amount of musk and safflower, and her fetus was not saved.

Miscarriage.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must make the decision for my concubine and my child, my concubine's child!"

On the couch, Concubine Shu had a pale face with tears streaming down her face, clutching Emperor Yu's hand tightly, with a lingering red color around her eyes.

"It must be the queen, it must be her. She has long wanted to harm my concubine's child. Your Majesty, if you want to make the decision for me, you must..."

Emperor Yu's eyes also showed sadness. After all, it was his first child after he ascended the throne, and it was just gone. He patted Concubine Shu's hand with relief and told her to have a good rest. He would definitely find out who it was...

Asking Zhao Lianxin and Nanny Liu to accompany Concubine Shu, Emperor Yu stood up and strode out of the inner hall.

Neither the Imperial Guards nor the Royal Forest Army were vegetarians, and they had also found the person who targeted Concubine Shu. Although the palace maid had thrown herself into a well and died, they found objects with musk and red flowers on her body...

The cold wind at night is still cold, although it is not as biting as it was a year ago, but it still feels chilly on the skin and makes the face feel cold.

In the Linlang Hall, at the window lattice, Su Rao quietly looked up at the bright moon high in the sky. The bright moon was accompanied by stars. It was a particularly beautiful night sky.

Su Er came over and handed Su Rao a cup of tea.

"Little sister, are you still thinking about it? What is there to think about? We will find out tomorrow."

After saying this, his indifferent eyes fell on Su Rao, with a deep look inside, as if he was trying to see through Su Rao's heart at this moment.

Su Rao returned his gaze, took the tea cup from Su Er and took a sip.

"Second brother, do you think... do you think Concubine Shu's child can be saved?"

This question was asked very softly and calmly.

"That child, it seems that he will be..."

"Rao'er..."

Su Da also came over and put his arms around Su Rao's shoulders.

"These things are not something we can get involved in. As long as we know who wants to harm Rao'er, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will take care of other matters..."

"Brother, Rao'er understands. It's just that what happened today scared Rao'er and made you worried."

Su Rao buried his face in front of Su Da, blocking the coldness and complexity that appeared in her eyes, and also blocking Su Er's gaze.

Su Er looked at it, took a breath, turned around and walked into the hall.

Little sister, what have you done to make sure that the poisonous wine was such a coincidence? If others don’t know about it, how come my second brother doesn’t know about you.

At this moment, in the Imperial Study Room, the panlong palace lantern was shining brightly.

That moonlight figure was calm and composed.

"Uncle Huang thinks it's Su Rao? Or the Su family? Is it beneficial to the Su family to take action against Concubine Shu? What's the benefit?"

He asked calmly.

"Furthermore, Su Rao was poisoned. If she hadn't accidentally knocked over the wine cup and Su Rao was poisoned, would Uncle Huang still have this suspicion?"

Emperor Yu held a bright red purse in his hand. Because the purse was soaked in water, the smell of musk and safflower was so weak that it could hardly be smelled. There was also a letter placed on the imperial desk in front of him. The content of the letter was that the prince

Tell someone about the eunuch who poisoned Su Rao.

"In this matter, there were two groups of people. One group took action first, deliberately plotting against the Su family, or plotting against Su Rao. The methods they used were shrewd. They attacked the fetus in Concubine Shu's belly, and then put away the purse they stole from Su Rao.

As for the palace maid, he killed two birds with one stone.

The other group of people took ruthless actions and directly wanted Su Rao's life. They left this letter probably because they wanted to put the blame on the prince. After all, given the prince's smart mind, Ji Yue thought that the prince would not be in such a bad situation."

If these two things happened one after another, it would be a delicate layout, one after another, and in the end all the blame would be borne by the latter group of people, and the former group of people had nothing to do with it.

But unfortunately, these two things happened one after the other. It was difficult to connect one link to the next in the delicate layout, which led to the current situation.

Take a sip of tea.

Yun Jifang said again:

"The first group of people probably didn't expect that the second group of people would directly poison Su Rao. The plans of the two parties collided with each other by chance, ruining their respective plans. What was their purpose? Ji Yue thought that the emperor's uncle had a heart.

Like a bright mirror, there is no need for Ji Yue to say more."

After saying this, Yunji became quiet and said nothing more.

The bright red purse in Emperor Yu's hand was wrinkled by pinching, and there was a heavy pain in his brows. He closed his eyes for a breath, and then opened them again, returning to his imperial state of mind.

"They are all my good sons. I have not been on the throne for a long time! They are all so eager to take over."

His voice was calm, suppressing the emperor's anger.

They all want the Su family's military power, and they all have their eyes on Su Rao. If they can't marry him, they want to destroy him...

Even more so to his unborn imperial brother or imperial sister...

"Uncle Huang, have you rarely experienced this kind of thing in the royal family? Now it's just a matter of seeing which one Uncle Huang wants to keep and which one he wants to let go. Compared with the unborn child, Ji Yue thinks that Uncle Huang is now

We should be more concerned about how to give an explanation to the Su family and how to leave a suitable successor emperor for Yunlang."

After getting up, Yun Ji left.
