There should already be small potatoes growing in the ground.

Since the seedlings emerged, Liu Zhao would come over to check on them from time to time. The potatoes planted occupy less than three-thirds of the area. I don’t know how many potatoes they will produce. We will not know until the leaves turn yellow and they are dug out. Liu Zhao is looking forward to it.

She didn't stay in the Bamboo Forest Courtyard for too long. She had to prepare for the Empress Dowager's birthday party tonight.

The Queen Mother of the West was fifty-eight years old and gave birth to only one daughter, Princess Jiafu, who was married to the Zhou Kingdom. Although the current emperor was not her biological son, he was very filial to her.

In Liu Zhao's memory, the Queen Mother had always been extremely cold towards the Weiwuhou Mansion for some reason. Logically speaking, there was no quarrel between the Weiwuhou Mansion and the Queen Mother's mother's family, and no one in the mansion had ever offended her. She shouldn't have this attitude.

Liu Zhao thought to herself that there must be something she didn't know.

When they arrived at the palace gate, people in twos and threes got off their carriages. Vehicles were not allowed in the palace, so you had to walk here.

The officials greeted each other and bowed, and Liu Zhao also found a young lady he knew well in his memory and walked with him.

Although I have memories, after all, they are not as good as seeing them with my own eyes.

The prosperity and elegance of the palace made her dizzy.

The banquet was held next to the Tsinghua Pool.

The officials took their seats in order, and after a while

After a while, the emperor came with his queen.

The officials hurriedly saluted.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

"The Queen is a thousand years old!"

"All the ministers are of equal family status. Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so you don't need to be too restrained." The emperor said with a smile.ωωw..net

The ministers immediately agreed, and the monarch and his ministers were in harmony.

Weiwuhou is a first-grade official. According to the rank ranking, Weiwuhou and his family are subordinate to the emperor, and Ye Hua and Liu Zhao are subordinate to the queen.

Ever since the emperor and empress came, the poison in Liu Zhao's sleeves has been restless.

Liu Zhao looked at the two elegant and elegant people calmly. There was nothing wrong with the emperor's rosy complexion, but the queen looked tired, with a large amount of black spots under her eyes.

Nothing was right no matter how he looked at it, Liu Zhao quietly moved the sleeve with the Gu Chong towards the Queen, and the Gu Chong became even more restless!

It’s basically certain that the Queen has been tricked, but I don’t know who has the courage to harm the Queen!

Just as Liu Zhao was thinking, the eunuch's unique high-pitched voice came, "The Queen Mother is here!"

"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

"Ping Shen." A slightly majestic female voice came.

After saluting, Liu Zhao looked up.

Something is wrong! Liu Zhao frowned slightly.

This Queen Mother looks too young!

She is already fifty-eight this year, and no matter how well she takes care of herself, she still won’t look like she is thirty!

Liu Zhao instantly thought of Zimu Gu.

Naturally, things like mother-child voodoo cannot be spread on the street. If the Queen Mother is infected with mother-gu, it means that the death of the original mistress and her daughter in the previous life has something to do with her.

When the banquet came to an end, Liu Zhao stood up, walked to the stage, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

There was a sudden sound, and the originally noisy banquet fell silent for an instant.

"Oh," the emperor asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Marquis Weiwu and his wife were also asking questions, and they didn't say anything happened before entering the palace.

"It's about the Queen." Liu Zhao said solemnly.

The emperor looked at the queen in surprise and found that she was also surprised, so he turned to look at Liu Zhao and said seriously: "Tell me carefully!"

Liu Zhao was silent for a moment: "I would like to speak with Your Majesty in private."

The emperor and the queen looked at each other and replied: "I promise you, Mr. Zhao, to invite Miss Liu to the side hall."

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes beside her, feeling a little uneasy for some reason. She thought about following the Emperor to the side hall.

The remaining officials from the DPRK and the Central Government looked at each other in confusion during the banquet.

"Marquis Weiwu, what happened to your daughter?" Mr. Ge couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either." Marquis Weiwu looked a little embarrassed. He said he didn't know about his daughter and he didn't know how many people would believe it.

"Say it!" The emperor said condescendingly as he sat on the throne.

Liu Zhao bowed and took out the bottle containing the poisonous insects from his sleeve.

"Empress, have you been feeling normal or uncomfortable recently?" Liu Zhao asked.

The queen nodded and said solemnly: "Recently, I have been feeling increasingly weak and unable to lift my spirits. The imperial doctor can't diagnose anything, and taking supplements is of no use."

Liu Zhao picked up the bottle, looked at the queen and said seriously: "That's because you have been poisoned."

"Gu!" The emperor and the queen shouted at the same time.

After all, the death of the imperial concubine many years ago was too tragic. She was skinny and skinny, and she was so weak that she died!

The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, how could a little girl see the poison!

Liu Zhao nodded: "It's Gu."

"How did you know?" The emperor's face became more and more serious.

"My daughter got this poison by chance." Liu Zhao lifted the bottle to a place where the emperor could see it: "This poison does not harm people, but it loves to eat poisonous insects, and it can also sense the poison around it."

The Queen Mother became even more flustered when she heard this, and scolded Liu Zhao: "How bold! It's simply ridiculous. Isn't the palace a place where you can confuse people with your monstrous words?"

Liu Zhao was silent for a moment, pretending to be confused and asked: "I don't know where I made a mistake, please give me some advice from the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said confidently: "How could you, a little girl, get the poison by chance? You even claim that you can sense the poison around you. It's unbelievable no matter how you look at it. Please leave the palace with your father as soon as possible."

Liu Zhao did not answer, but bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie. This voodoo can induce the poison in the host. If the emperor trusts me, I am willing to give it a try."

The queen looked at the emperor earnestly, she really didn't want to die in the same way as the noble concubine!

The Queen Mother pinched her palms nervously, but she must refuse!

"Okay!" The emperor was silent for a while and nodded: "How long will it take to lure him out?"

"It only takes half a quarter of an hour. The queen is getting weaker and weaker. The sooner she can be lured out, the better." Liu Zhao answered hurriedly.

"There is a bed in the side hall, so let's take it here." After saying this, the emperor said nothing.

The empress led Liu Zhao into the back room and closed the curtain.

The queen lay nervously on the bed.

Liu Zhao comforted her with words: "My queen, don't be afraid, it won't hurt."

After hearing this, the queen did feel a little better, and raised a gentle smile: "Thank you very much this time. You can give me any reward you want for bringing out the poison."

Liu Zhao secretly complained that he could mention it, but he might not agree to it.

Then you have to give it a try.

Liu Zhao then said: "I do have a wish. When the queen is well, Liu Zhao will come again to trouble the queen."

The queen's smile deepened and she said no more. She had been ill for a long time and missed her previous healthy body so much.

Liu Zhao slowly drew the voodoo out of the bottle. Her uncle had taught her how to draw the voodoo out of the bottle. However, Liu Zhao was still cautious when doing it for the first time.
