Chapter 237 [Fuyao 22]
After a while, a minister said, "Nowadays, there is less and less novelty. I have heard that there was once someone who could move the four directions with a sword dance, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see it.
Gao Puruo happened to hear this, and she thought this was her chance, so she took the opportunity to recommend herself, "Your Majesty, I have learned a set of sword techniques recently, and I will dance for you now."
"That's right." Changsun Wuji said.
Next, Gao Puruo ordered people to bring out the Water Spirit Mirror, and then began to dance. Her figure changed into various postures under the cold light of the Water Spirit Mirror, which made people couldn't help but admire her.
Zhang Sun Wuji was also stunned. The jealous Tang Zhirong saw Zhang Sun Wuji staring at her with a look of hatred on her face. She cursed in her heart, "You vixen, you only know how to seduce Your Majesty."
At this time, Tang Zhirong noticed that the tableware used by the four concubines was of different colors, so she asked Eunuch De in confusion, "Eunuch De, why is the color of my tableware different from theirs?"
"Reporting to Her Majesty, this is determined by the rank of the concubines." Eunuch De said.
"So that's how it is." Tang Zhirong said thoughtfully.
Gao Puruo's tableware was blue in color. Tang Zhirong decided to embarrass Gao Puruo, so she said to her personal maid Huan'er, "Put something in Gao Puruo's tableware."
"Yes, master." Huan'er said.
After that, Huan'er left the place quietly. No one noticed, but the sharp-eyed Youyou saw it. Zong Yue saw Youyou staring at one place, so he looked over, but only saw the back of a servant. He asked, "Youyou, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Youyou finally reacted and leaned close to Zong Yue's ear and said, "Ayue, I saw Madam De Tang Zhirong asking her maid to do something. I suspect she is doing something."
"Oh, I see. But I think His Majesty will solve this little trouble, and we just have to watch the show." Zong Yue said.
"Aren't you a brother of His Majesty? Why don't you help him? This is not in line with your character." Youyou said.
"There is no such thing as conformity or non-conformity. I think Your Majesty can handle it all on his own. I only care about my wife now. Other people are none of my business." Zong Yue said.
"Is your mouth quite sweet?" Youyou joked.
"Then do you want to try it?" Zong Yue said more and more, slowly approaching Youyou.
"Just sit still. Aren't you ashamed? How can you behave in public?" Youyou said with a look of disgust.
"Since Youyou is shy, let's kiss in private." Zong Yue looked like he understood what you meant.
Youyou rolled her eyes at Zong Yue. This guy was becoming more and more shameless.
On the other side, Huan'er stopped A Xiu, a palace maid who was offering wine on behalf of Gao Puruo, outside the palace, and said with an excuse, "Sister, I accidentally lost an earring. Can you please help me find it? It is my favorite one." Then she gave A Xiu three gold leaves.
Ah Xiu looked at the golden leaves and was immediately delighted. She said, "Okay, I'll help you find it right away."
When Huan'er saw Ah Xiu lowering her head to look for her earrings, she took the opportunity to put drugs in Gao Puruo's blue wine jug.
After succeeding, she casually threw an earring into the bushes in front of Ah Xiu, and it was soon found by Ah Xiu with her sharp eyes. Ah Xiu happily held the earring and said, "Is this the earring you are looking for, sister?"
Huan'er pretended to be happy, took the earrings and said, "Oh, thank you so much, sister. I thought I would never find it again. Thank you for helping me find it."
"You're welcome. I'm glad you found it. I'm going to serve some wine to the Empress now." Ah Xiu said.
"I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for keeping you busy for so long." Huan'er said.
"It doesn't matter, it's not that late." A Xiu said.
Then Ah Xiu picked up the wine jug on the ground and walked towards the main hall.
He put the wine jug on Gao Puruo's table and went downstairs.
Huan'er also returned to Tang Zhirong's back and made a gesture of success to her.
Tang Zhirong suddenly stood up and said, "Today is the winter clothing festival, I offer a glass of wine to your majesty."
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji said, "Okay, I'll toast you with this glass of wine."
The ministers raised their glasses and toasted back.
Gao Puruo also drank the wine that was 'spoiled' in the glass.
After drinking Gao Puruo, he continued dancing.
The exciting drumbeats rang out, and Gao Puruo performed a stunning dance in the center of the Water Spirit Mirror, which reflected Gao Puruo's various graceful figures.
Just as the ministers were admiring Gao Puruo's dancing, Gao Puruo suddenly felt dizzy, and the sword in his hand flew out of his hand uncontrollably and flew towards Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji pretended to be shocked and covered his eyes in fear, but he actually used his inner strength to stop the sword in front of him. Jiang Feng tactfully stepped forward and threw himself on Changsun Wuji, and together with many eunuchs, protected Changsun Wuji under them.
There was a panic at the banquet. Qi Zhen said, "Quickly arrest the virtuous wife Gao Puruo who tried to assassinate your majesty."
When the guards were about to take Gao Puruo down, Gao Song shouted, "Wait, let's see who dares to touch my daughter."
The guards were in a stalemate, and Buxi didn't know what to do.
Then, Gao Song explained to Changsun Wuji, "My Gao family is loyal to Your Majesty. My daughter just didn't learn the sword well enough, and then she slipped out of her hand. She would never do anything to assassinate someone. This is based on unruly talk. In my opinion, it must be the glass of wine my daughter drank before she danced with the sword. Otherwise, she was fine before, why did she dance differently after drinking?"
Zhang Sun Wuji said, "I also believe in Madam Xiangxian. She would not do anything to assassinate me. Doctor Zong, you are here too. Why don't you go and see if there is anything wrong with the wine?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zong Yue said.
Zong Yue walked over, picked up the wine jug on Gao Puruo's table, carefully examined it, and said, "This wine contains drugs that can control people."
Gao Song said, "I told you, my daughter would never do such a thing."
At this moment, Gao Puruo fell in the middle of the hall and vomited continuously. His condition became more and more serious.
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to give the order, "Come here, help Madam Xian down first, and then send the imperial physician to take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ah Xiu said, then helped Gao Puruo down.
Gao Song said, "Since it wasn't my daughter's doing, please Your Majesty, please help me. Who is trying to frame me?"
"I will definitely give you an explanation, my dear. Jiang Feng, you go and check it out." Changsun Wuji said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Feng said.
Jiang Feng went to ask Gao Puruo's palace maids, but the palace maids all performed their duties, so which link went wrong?
At this time, the maid Ah Xiu remembered and said, "Replying to Lord Jiang, when I delivered wine to Madam Xian before, Madam De's personal maid Huan'er once asked me to help find her lost earrings. She was the only person who had access to wine at that time. Now I think she is a little suspicious."
Jiang Feng heard what he wanted to know, so he said, "Okay, you go down first."
"Yes, Lord Jiang." A Xiu said.
Then Jiang Feng told Changsun Wuji everything he had found out.
After hearing this, Chang Sun Wuji questioned Tang Zhirong, "My beloved concubine, why did you do this? Send someone to put drugs in Madam Xian's wine glass?"
Tang Zhirong had heard this and felt a little flustered. She said, "Your Majesty, I have never done this?"
"Really?" Changsun Wuji said.
"It's absolutely true." Tang Zhirong looked aggrieved.
At this time, Gao Puruo walked in with Ah Xiu's help and said, "Since Madam De said that you didn't do it, then prove your innocence. The Shuiling Mirror in the center of this hall can be used to investigate this matter. The Shuiling Mirror is a Taiyuan treasure. It can reflect the past of all things. If you want to see what happened in just one hour, just use the Ziwu worm as a reference."
