Sima Yan and Empress Du had dinner together in Xianyang Palace.The maid brought acacia flower tea: "Your Majesty! Empress! Please use tea!"

Empress Du served tea: "Your Majesty, this is the favorite tea of ​​Albizia juliensis. Albizia juliensis is calm in nature, peaceful in mind, pleasing in color, can be used as medicine, calms the nerves, nourishes and improves eyesight! Albizia juliensis blooms in the morning and evening, and has beautiful According to legend, the concubine hopes that His Majesty will also like it."

According to legend, Yu Shun died while patrolling Cangwu in the south. His concubines Ehuang and Nvying searched all over the Xiangjiang River, but failed to find them.The elves of the second concubine and Yu Shun merged into one and turned into an acacia tree, which symbolizes the loyalty of love and the harmony between husband and wife.

"The queen is a flower lover. Since the queen likes it, I naturally like it too!" Sima Yan sipped his tea, paused and said, "I remembered that when I was hunting, this woman named Chu Suanzi was extraordinary. I am really impressed. I heard from the queen that Chu Suanzi and you are practicing calligraphy with Mrs. Baiwei, who is this Chu Suanzi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chu Suanzi was born in a family of officials. His grandfather, Chu Qia, went to be the prefect of Wuchang. His father was Chu Lin, who was granted the title of Marquis of Ting, the capital, for his contribution to quelling the Su Jun Rebellion." Empress Du smiled.

"It turned out to be the daughter of Marquis Chu!" Sima Yan suddenly realized.

"We practiced calligraphy with Mrs. Baiwei, and Sister Suanzi's imitation of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is amazing!" Empress Du praised.

"Oh? I didn't expect her calligraphy to be so powerful?" Sima Yan was very surprised.

"Your Majesty's cursive script is the most spiritual, powerful and refreshing, and contains ancient style. If your majesty is interested, you might as well invite famous calligraphers to gather together some day, and have an appointment with King Langya and Sister Suanzi, and the monarchs and ministers will discuss each other. How about it?" Du Queen proposed.

"That's great! I also have the same intention!" At this moment, Sima Yan's mind was full of Chu Suanzi's expression of dark clouds scattered and long hair flying when Zhong Shan was hunting: "Chu Suanzi is a girl, but he won't let men, Yunwen Yunwu, wisdom and courage, it is really not easy."

"When Lianzi was young, he liked to watch his elder brother dance with a spear and stick, so Chu Hou asked the two brothers and sister to learn martial arts together."

Sima Yan praised: "That's how it is! The Zanying family is a famous lady, and no one in Jiangzuo can surpass her! Since the queen and Chu Suanzi have known each other since childhood, please invite her to visit the palace often."

Empress Du gradually sensed Sima Yan's thoughts, she felt jealous, and asked tentatively: "It's the first time Zhong Shan saw such a beautiful woman, did your Majesty ever fall in love with Sister Suanzi?"

Sima Yan consciously lost his composure, and hurriedly said: "Zhen, I have never been attracted to her, but I appreciate her courage and strategy."

As dusk fell, Zhou Meiren was preparing to rest in the Huiyin Hall when an unexpected visitor came.Zhou Meiren was taken aback when a masked woman in black appeared in front of her eyes, she was Jiang Li, the queen's maidservant.

Jiang Li saluted: "Meet Zhou Meiren!"

Zhou Meiren scolded coldly: "Come here late at night, what orders do you have?!"

Jiang Li carefully took out the silk sac wrapped in pollen: "What I want you to do is very simple! You just need to mix this alpine pollen into your majesty's tea soup. Remember, you must drink it after your majesty takes the elixir."

Zhou Meiren was surprised: "What do you want to do?"

"You just need to obediently do what I say! You don't need to know about the rest! Otherwise..." The masked woman showed a fierce look in her eyes, and hesitated to speak: "Could it be that you forgot your mission? Your family background is poor , have you forgotten how you entered the palace and became such a beauty?!"

Zhou Meiren had tears in her eyes: "I don't want to be a beauty in the palace!"

"All of this is beyond your control!" Jiang Li said coldly.

Tears rolled down Zhou Meiren, she shook her head and said, "Forgive me for not following orders! He is Your Majesty, and even more so my husband! I can't do this!"

Jiang Li threatened: "As long as you obediently do what I say, your family's life will be safe! If you dare to disobey the order, your parents' lives will be lost! You can figure it out!" After saying that, she wanted to turn around and leave .

Zhou Meiren suddenly knelt down and begged: "I beg you! Let them go! As long as you let them go, whatever gold, silver and jewelry you want, as long as I can do it, I will promise you, okay?"

"Hmph! I think you already know what we want!" Jiang Li said coldly.

Zhou Meiren sat slumped on the ground: "It's too cruel to do this, I can't bear to do it! Once this matter is discovered, it will be a serious crime against the Jiuzu!"

Jiang Li turned around and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry! There won't be any signs in the early stage! When the symptoms appear, he is already terminally ill! Even if Hua Tuo is reborn, he will be powerless to recover! This matter is unknown. ! After the event is completed, I promise you a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, and be free and easy! If you play any tricks, your whole family will definitely die without a place to bury you!"

Zhou Meiren sobbed, tears streaming down like rain: "No! Don't! Why? You, you are committing treason!"

Before the words were finished, Jiang Li slapped Zhou Meiren hard, blood oozed from the corner of her mouth instantly.Jiang Li said harshly: "Let me hear such words again, and you will be the next to die!"

Zhou Meiren said hoarsely: "I would rather die!"

"Hmph, want to die? It's not that easy! It will make your life worse than death for you and your parents!" The man in black sneered sinisterly, and said softly, "Also, your brother Ming!"

Zhou Meiren cried pear blossoms and rain: "Why me? Why does it have to be me?" Zhou Meiren bit her red lips tightly: "Aren't you afraid that I will expose you to His Majesty?!"

"Then you have to die! This is a group of dead men! You have no evidence! No one will believe you! Your father and Lingtang will be buried together! You can judge for yourself! Farewell!"

The woman in black flashed past and disappeared into the vast night.Zhou Meiren's complexion was so frightened, her chest heaved violently, her eyes were dull, she was trembling, and she kept silent like a cicada.
