"Is this Brother Xiao's son?" Emperor Mingwen smiled slightly and waved to Beibei.

King Xiao smiled and nodded.

Beibei took a step forward and bowed down to salute: "Please pay tribute to the emperor."

"I am your uncle, how old is this year?"

Emperor Mingwen asked a few simple questions and answered them one by one, neither proficient nor cowardly.

Emperor Mingwen nodded with satisfaction, and soon his eyes fell on the empress dowager again, and he said a few blessing words.

"Since the emperor is here, the banquet will begin."

Singing and dancing brings peace, and countless fine wines and delicacies.

Beibei sat quietly beside Chu Yunning.

Next door is King Xiao.

"Didn't I remind you that today I will enter the palace with me to celebrate my birthday. Why did you enter the palace with your children in advance?"

King Xiao was delayed in the morning and went to find Chu Yunning when he left the mansion, but was told that the person had entered the palace.

King Xiao also abandoned the carriage and rushed into the palace with fast horses and whipped it all the way.

As soon as he entered the palace, he was invited away by the people around Emperor Mingwen. He played the game of chess, and the delay lasted half an hour.

What happened just now had already been heard by the guards.

King Xiao frowned: "When can you calm down? You will cause trouble as soon as you enter the palace."

Chu Yunning glanced at King Xiao in anger: "Everyone in the palace knows that I am an abandoned woman driven out of the King Xiao's mansion. Even if I make a mistake, the prince doesn't have to worry about being implicated."

"You!" King Xiao's face darkened. He looked around and there were indeed many people looking over, so he had to adjust his emotions.

"Chu Yunning, my patience is limited." King Xiao raised a smile, but said, "As long as you are willing to surrender, I can ignore the past and let you go back home, and you will still be Princess Xiao."

"No need!"

Chu Yunning was too lazy to pay attention to King Xiao’s self-indulgence, so he picked up only pickled chicken legs and put them in a bowl of Beibei.

Beibei lowered his head and was about to chew, but Chu Yunning suddenly realized something was wrong and held Beibei's hand.

Chu Yunning looked at other meals again, and his heart was filled with anger.

She didn't know who she had offended, but she was so poisoned and was wiped out by someone.

Beibei suddenly picked up the chicken legs and put them in King Xiao’s bowl, and said with a smile: “It’s my mother who doesn’t know how to lift them up. I will treat this chicken legs as I apologize to you on behalf of my mother, and asparagus and small crispy meat, all of them will be given to you.”

Chu Yunning's mouth twitched violently, and he saw that Beibei filled King Xiao's bowl.

King Xiao was stunned, and there was a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't tell whether he was excited or relieved.

"Prince, my mother has a bad temper and don't care. I will persuade her."

Beibei blinked his innocent big eyes, and at that moment, King Xiao softened his heart and praised: "Good boy."

Chu Yunning took a deep breath, and she watched the little eunuch pick up the silver needle and stab it into the chicken leg.

In just a moment, the silver needle turned black.

"Prince, these legs are poisonous!"

King Xiao looked along his gaze and saw that the silver needle changed color and overturned the table with one foot.

The great movement shocked everyone.

"Xiao'er?" The Empress Dowager looked over after hearing the sound.

Beibei pouted and wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. He choked up aggrievedly: "Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't know it's poisonous here."

King Xiao was so angry that he was too rude that he was frightened by Beibei, and immediately comforted him softly: "Beibei is not afraid, I will definitely investigate thoroughly."

Chu Yunning lowered his head and looked at Beibei. This child acted like a real person. If she hadn't known the truth, she would have been fooled.

"Mother, someone poisoned the banquet dishes!" King Xiao looked serious.

"What?" The Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks in shock. The guests present put down their chopsticks one after another and stayed away from the desk.

"Come here, block the entire Cihe Palace for me, and even a fly is not allowed to be released!"

Emperor Mingwen was furious and made people block the palace gate.

The banquet was stopped for the time being, and a large number of guards rushed in and were ready.

Chu Yunning stood in the corner with a pretended look of panic, but in fact she was looking at the expression on everyone's face and guessing who the murderer behind the scenes was.

The murderer behind the scenes must be one of the guests.

Or royalty.

Chu Yunning checked the table next door and the meals of others while it was unprepared.

Strangely, none of these foods are poisonous.

In other words, this poison is most likely targeted by Beibei!

When Chu Yunning thought of someone plotting against Beibei, his face suddenly became dark.

"Don't worry, I am here, I will protect you." King Xiao stood in front of the two of them, his tone a little more gentle.

Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows and reminded: "The prince should send someone to check if everyone's food is poisonous."

King Xiao listened to Chu Yunning's suggestions very carefully and asked someone to check them one by one. Finally, he found that only the foods of Chu Yunning and Beibei were poisonous.

"Who dares to harm Beibei, the Ai family will definitely forgive you!"

The empress dowager was so angry that she pulled Beibei up and down to look at her, looking scared: "Fortunately you didn't eat, so you scared the Ai family to death. It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva."

Beibei pierced his head into the empress dowager and rubbed it, crying aggrievedly: "Grandmother, Beibei is so scared."

This cry made the Queen Mother feel very distressed. She hugged him and comforted her repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, the emperor's grandmother is here."

After more than an hour of trouble, I couldn't find any clues.

Chu Yunning was extremely disappointed. When she looked up, she suddenly saw that Queen Gong looked at Beibei with a sharp look, as if she was looking at her enemy.

Could it be the Empress of the Palace?

Chu Yunning pressed his suspicion and carefully checked the poison in the food. It was the fastest poison to die in the world.

If you touch a little bit, you will die suddenly, and you will not even have time to rescue.

It can be seen that the poisoned person hated the mother and son very much.

Until the banquet ended, no clues were found.

As the evening approached, the Empress Dowager said, "The Ai family will give you an explanation for the poisoning, so you can go back first."

"Yes." Chu Yunning took Beibei away.

After leaving the palace gate, King Xiao chased after him: "You have been targeted by someone, please follow me back to the palace first."

"Thank you, Prince Xiao, for your kindness, I won't go to the palace."

Seeing that King Xiao was protecting Beibei at the palace banquet, Chu Yunning's tone to Xiao was a little better.

“Why?”

"Inconvenient!" Chu Yunning said.

King Xiao frowned, looked at the people coming and going around, and lowered his voice: "Even if you don't think about it for yourself, you should think about it for the sake of Beibei. He was quite frightened today. You live in the Chu family with your children. If something happens, no one can save you."

"The prince is too worried, I can protect Beibei."

Chu Yunning took Beibei to the carriage and went straight back to the Chu family.

King Xiao looked at the carriage gradually moving away, frowned, and felt like a big stone was pressing down on his heart, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
