Queen Mother Tu had just mentioned Princess Zheng in front of the queen, but unexpectedly someone arrived at the door and signaled Lin Manxue to find a seat and sit down.
Everyone looked at the door one after another, but when they saw King Zheng walking in with Murong Yingluo on his arm, they all had doubts in their hearts.
Yingluo nodded and said, "Prince Zheng, my wife and I would like to express my regards to our mother!"
Empress Dowager Tu's sharp eyes never left Murong Yingluo, and she asked: "I heard that Princess Zheng was poisoned not long ago, and the Ai family just mentioned it. Could it be that her body is still weak?"
Yingluo responded: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. My daughter-in-law is in good health, but she is blind and has some inconvenience in her movements." Her tone was very calm.
All the female relatives in Fengqi Palace were shocked by Princess Zheng's words. The Queen Mother was surprised and said: "Blind?"
A child's character is the worst at pretending. Yu'er broke free from the Queen Mother's arms and ran directly over, holding Yingluo's hand.
"Aunt, can your eyes no longer see Yu'er?"
Yingluo stretched out her hand to hold Yu'er's delicate cheek, "Yu'er, I'm afraid my aunt won't be able to fly with Yu'er in the future."
When Yu'er heard this, she burst into tears immediately, "Yu'er doesn't want my aunt to become blind." Murong Jinxin hurriedly picked up the child and coaxed him.
The Queen Mother saw Yu'er crying, and it seemed that it was true that Princess Zheng's eyes were blind. "Who on earth poisoned Princess Zheng so viciously?"
Lin Manxue was also suspicious. Lin Manxue did not know that the poison was caused by Lin Rongxuan. Her brother only thought that he would give her a surprise in a few days, but he did not expect to die in a brothel in a few days.
How humiliating.
Si Wushang believed that the Queen Mother was behind everything and said, "The murderer has not been found after returning to my mother."
The Queen Mother looked at Murong Yingluo who was blind and said with regret: "It's such a pity that I lost my eyes. Fortunately, my life was saved."
Lin Manxue echoed from the side: "There is no need to worry, Queen Mother. Princess Zheng has excellent medical skills and can even nurse Prince Zheng back to health. Presumably this blindness is only temporary."
Murong Jinxin also echoed: "Mother, don't worry! The doctors in the palace are all very skilled in medicine. Princess Zheng will definitely be able to see the light again."
Yingluo heard that everyone was concerned, but she didn't care even though it was a false sentiment, "My wife, I thank my mother for your concern."
The Queen Mother looked at everyone, "It's getting late, we should go to Zhaoqing Hall."
The Zhaoqing Palace in the night cannot hide its majesty, with colorful palace lanterns hanging high, and the gentle night breeze carrying the sound of palace bells.
The Queen Mother got off the carriage and walked slowly into the hall with everyone. Now the courtiers had gathered and the Emperor had also arrived.
The Queen Mother's dark eyes scanned among the courtiers one by one, but she did not see Prime Minister Lin Yifu. The Queen and Prince Zheng were there just now, so it's hard to ask what happened to the Lin family?
The emperor saw the Queen Mother coming with the Queen and Prince Zheng and his wife, "Mother, the banquet will start soon. Please attend the banquet."
The Queen Mother sat on the left side of the Emperor, and the Queen and Yu'er sat on the right side of the Emperor.
Si Wushang supported Yingluo and sat down near the dragon throne. The emperor saw King Zheng carefully supporting Princess Zheng with a puzzled look in his eyes. The queen leaned over and whispered softly, informing the emperor about Princess Zheng's blindness.
Seeing Murong Xuan at the banquet with a suspicious expression, Si Wuyue saw Murong Yingluo wake up that day, but it turned out that she was blind. No wonder Prince Zheng must return to the palace no matter how he stayed that night.
What was once a casual chess move was of great use. Prince Zheng is too similar to his father, and sooner or later he will be ruined by just one word of love.
Now that the time has come, we are waiting for the envoy from the ancient Wu Kingdom to arrive.
After a while, the eunuch outside the palace shouted: "The envoy from the ancient Wu Kingdom is here to see you!"
Arnold is wearing a reddish-brown undershirt and a silver armor on the outside. He is majestic and handsome. The huge thing behind him is particularly eye-catching. He is a nine-foot-tall mighty man with a braid of a towering pestle on his head. His muscles are stretched out like rocks, and he is sprinting all over.
Strong breath.
In contrast, Ah Man, who was hiding in the team wearing a brown gown and a disguised butterfly suit, looked particularly petite and frail.
In the end, Ah Man couldn't resist his brother's pressure and Die Yi's persuasion. Before meeting his cousin Yu, Ah Man didn't want to be imprisoned in the embassy and consulate, so he had no choice but to follow him.
Arnold stepped forward and said: "I have met His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"In ancient times, envoys from the Kingdom of Wu came all the way. I specially ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome the envoys. Please be present."
Arnold took a few people and sat down at the top left corner. Sitting across from him was King Zheng, with whom he had met once.
What caught his gaze was the woman sitting next to Prince Zheng. Her eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of his mother. Her eyes were dull. Could it be that she was a blind girl?
Si Wuyue saw that everyone had arrived, "The banquet has begun!"
The snacks and fine wines that had been prepared by someone a long time ago, the elegant music, the silk and bamboo playing, the singers dancing, the banquet has always been mediocre.
Everyone exchanged cups, tasted the wine, and enjoyed the singing and dancing.
Ah Man was forced to come here to attend the banquet, and he was enjoying the singing and dancing without any intention. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at the emperor's superior, Si Wuyue, who was sitting on the dragon seat. He didn't look sick.
The son is already so old. I don’t know why my brother and mother must retreat into the fire pit. I feel sad when I think about it. Where did Cousin Yu go? I sighed.
Yingluo listened carefully, and the whispers that were hidden under the feast of silk and bamboo came into her ears one after another. She heard that there seemed to be a woman on the opposite side sighing very clearly.
Si Wushang poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Luo'er, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat!"
Yingluo touched his hand and took the tea, "Yingluo is really thirsty. I'd like to thank you for your trouble."
I had just taken the tea when I heard a rich male voice coming from the other side, "The ancient Wu Kingdom liked the beauty of majesty. The dances in the Central Plains are too soft and it really doesn't interest me. We might as well try some other shows."
Yingluo put down the cup in her hand, but heard the emperor on the dragon throne say calmly: "I wonder if the envoy has any good programs?"
Arnold's handsome eyebrows spread, and a warm smile appeared on his face: "Our ancient warriors from the Wu Kingdom were good at martial arts, so why not ask your country to send a warrior to compete with each other? It is also an elegant thing to make friends with martial arts. Sandor! I will accompany you today.
Let’s compete with the heroes of Han Dynasty!”
But he saw the burly man named Sandor standing up from Arnold's side, exerting his inner strength and stepping on the ground with his feet trembling.
In an instant, there was a murmur of boos in the court hall. This was not a discussion, but clearly a provocation!
Si Wuyue looked at King Zheng and wanted to deal with the behemoth in front of him. Murong Xuan was old and could lead troops in battles. If there was not much chance of winning in the competition, would Gongyichu deliberately lose to the ancient Wu Kingdom?
The emperor wanted to let King Zheng go to war, but King Zheng had exhausted all his inner strength in expelling poison from the princess a few days ago. He was afraid that he had no chance of winning. This matter was related to the country's face.
At this time, a powerful voice sounded, "Your Majesty is willing to compete with the heroes of ancient Wuguo!" The person who spoke was none other than General Murong Xuan.
