Chapter 16 The first eunuch who tried poison and died

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied: "I must prepare food for Your Majesty!!"

Just after he went out for a while, the little eunuchs lined up to bring plates of exquisite meals, with a strong aroma and a complete range of flavors.

Li Gan picked up a piece of beef thin as a cicada's wing in front of him, tasted it lightly, his eyes lit up, and he nodded to Wei Zhongxian.

"Not bad, big companion!"

...

At the same time, in the Qianyuan Palace, many concubines in the six palaces were ready.

Zhao Feiyan looked at the dark sky outside the window with a little expectation on her face.

"Now, even if His Majesty works diligently in Qianyuanqian Hall, he should have a meal, right?"

"Xiaolian? Xiaolian?" Zhao Feiyan called out.

The little palace maid hurriedly ran in: "I'm here."

“How is the snack done?”

"It has been packed and it has been packed in a food box and can be delivered at any time." Xiaolian replied respectfully.

"good!"

A hint of joy appeared on Zhao Feiyan's beautiful pretty face: "Go quickly, send it to His Majesty quickly, don't miss the time."

"Yes, Empress!"

The little palace maid ran out in a hurry.

Zhao Feiyan looked at her back, and a trace of expectation flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She first closed the doors and windows, and then took out a hollow white silk closet skirt with lace from the bottom of the wardrobe painted with expensive red.

He changed his clothes and spread the close-fitting skirt to the bottom. He ignored the hot summer days and put a red silk skirt outside.

The room was neatly tidy and there was no trace of mess.

Zhao Feiyan, who was ready for everything, sat on the bed, with a delicate figure, and a pretty face that was as slight as jade.

"Will your Majesty come here today..."

Not only her, but also her concubines such as Yang Yuhuan and Xi Shi also prepared snacks and sent the palace maids in their pavilions to Qianyuanqian Hall.

So, when the maid Xiaolian walked out of the back hall excitedly with a food box, she was stunned.

Because many palace maids came out from the various lofts of Jingren Hall one after another.

Xiaolian came to her senses and hurriedly walked out quickly.

You can see from the entrance of the hall that in addition to Kunning Hall, there are palace maids coming out of the six palaces, carrying large and small, exquisite and gorgeous food boxes in their hands.

Some two people together, one carried a food box and the other was carrying a lantern, and thus formed a small long line of lights and rushed towards the Qianyuanqian Hall.

It is very conspicuous in the darkness.

"this……"

The palace maid Xiaolian was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't stand in front of you, blocking the way!"

A delicate voice came from behind, and Xiaolian subconsciously let her go to one side.

It was not until this moment that she realized that behind her were two little palace maids working together to carry a food box as big as a basin.

"Sisters, are you..." Xiaolian looked at the big food box with a dazed face.

"Of course I'm going to deliver food to His Majesty!"

The palace maid on the left was quick-mouthed and subconsciously smiled, "Who doesn't know in the six palaces now? Yesterday, the beautiful lady Changsun sent a box of snacks to His Majesty, and His Majesty went to Feishui Pavilion in the evening."

"It's night now, so the empresses of each palace naturally have to try this method. Seeing that you are carrying a food box in your hand, you must have the meaning of your empress?"

"I……"

Xiaolian opened her mouth and smiled reluctantly, "Yes, the Empress asked me to give it to His Majesty."

"Let's go together, you'll have a companion on the way." The two palace maids smiled and invited.

Xiaolian was not easy to refuse, so she followed the large army and rushed towards the Qianyuanqian Palace.

...

Palace of Eternal Life.

Li Gan, who had eaten and drank, wiped his mouth with a veil in satisfaction.

Today's food is exquisite and diverse, but the overall amount is just right, which is quite consistent with his wishes.

"Yes, Guanglu Temple has put its heart into practice today."

Wei Zhongxian was ashamed to listen, but he didn't say anything after all.

"Mei Niang, what do you think?" Li Gan turned his head and asked with a smile.

Wu Meiniang sat next to Li Gan and replied with a chuckling, "Mei Niang has never eaten such a delicacy."

“That’s good.”

Li Gan chuckled softly, and was about to get up and go back to sleep.

But at this moment, a sweaty little eunuch ran in outside the hall. After a closer look, wasn’t this the one from yesterday?

"Um?"

Li Gan smiled and said, "Why are you again? Could it be that Guanyin maid sent me some snacks again?"

The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead hard, revealing a smile that was even worse than crying.

"Reply to Your Majesty..."

"It's not Empress Changsun, but many Empresses in the Six Palaces..."

"Um?"

Li Gan was about to stand up and his body stagnated, and he sat back: "How many are there?"

"A total of forty-eight concubines have brought you meals." The little eunuch said with his head down.

Li Gan was stunned for a moment: "Forty-eight??"

"Yes, your Majesty."

The little eunuch lowered his head and explained: "Except for the Empress Changsun yesterday, and the Empress Wu, the other Empresses have brought meals."

"I was originally sent to Qianyuanqian Hall, but Your Majesty was not there. The servants on duty were afraid that the food would get cold, so they took them to the Hall of Eternity."

Li Gan thought for a moment and suddenly understood the reason.

It must have been discovered by the concubines that Changsun Wugui gave snacks yesterday!

I went to Feishui Pavilion last night, so today they followed suit and also gave snacks...

Li Gan was speechless, and walked around the table and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

Good guy, one serving per person, just forty-eight servings of snacks.

Even if he is so full of food, he can't finish it!

When I came to the entrance of the hall, I looked down, but found that the steps outside the hall were filled with palace maids carrying lanterns, exhaustedly rubbing the sweat on their foreheads with a veil.

Seeing the emperor come out, the palace maids hurriedly stopped their movements and knelt on the ground: "I will meet your majesty."

Li Gan was speechless and shook his head.

It feels good to be kept in mind, but if you worry too much, it will become a drag.

He knew that the concubines were kind-hearted, but now...

Li Gan touched his stomach, and he was already full.

Even if the concubines have good skills, they may not be lucky enough to live up to their current life.

Behind Li Gan, Wei Zhongxian and Wu Meiniang also walked out in his footsteps.

Wu Meiniang looked at the embarrassing appearance of the palace maids below, as if she had recalled some memories, and her jade hands tightened her dress without realizing it.

Wei Zhongxian's face turned a little pale and his calves were spinning.

‘My mother…’

Just before Li Gan had eaten, he tried all the food, for fear of poison hiding.

I wasn't able to eat enough, and I was half full at this moment.

Looking at the more than forty food boxes, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but feel dizzy.

If you try this one by one, won’t you break your stomach??

"His Majesty……"

Wei Zhongxian looked pale and stepped forward, and his voice was still trembling: "I... I will try the poison for you..."
