Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 120 A Cup of Poisoned Tea

In the front hall of Hui'an Temple, Liu Yunxiang added money for sesame oil and was supported by Jinyan.

When I went out, the sky was clear and bright, but now it was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was blowing on my body, making it bone-chillingly cold.

"Girl, let's go back home early, preferably before the rain." Jin Yan said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Let's go."

Just two steps away, a woman wearing brown dark pattern cotton trousers and gray temples blocked her way. Behind the woman were two thin boys in light blue plain robes.

The woman raised her hands, her eyes drooped slightly, and said: "This old slave is Nanny Jiang from Feifeng Palace."

Feifeng Palace?
Queen's palace!
Liu Yunxiang was slightly taken aback, could it be that the Queen's Fengjia is also in Hui'an Temple?But it's none of her business, right?
"Your Excellency wants to see you."

Liu Yunxiang suppressed his shock and smiled, "Jiangma, why did you see me?"

Mother Jiang looked a little cold, "The third lady doesn't need to inquire so much."

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, apparently Mother Jiang was here specially waiting for her, that is to say, that person knew that she was coming to Hui'an Temple today.

After thinking deeply, Liu Yunxiang felt a chill running down his back.

She winked at Jinyan quietly, and then said: "Jiangma, can you let me go to the carriage to pick up the ginseng pills I left behind, I need to swallow it often."

"The third lady is useless."

"Mommy, what does this mean?"

"Okay, don't make the nobleman wait too long."

Mother Jiang walked towards the corridor next to the front hall while the two young eunuchs behind her urged them to follow quickly.

Go all the way back, straight up the back mountain, and enter a forest.

Under a ginkgo tree, a woman in a gown with light yellow bright satin embroidered with peonies sat on a stone bench. She looked dignified and dignified.

She is Empress Lu, who controls the harem and frightens the front court.

She is King Suping's younger sister and Lu Chang'an's biological aunt. She gave birth to three sons and a daughter for the emperor, and her position is stable.

The first queen gave birth to the eldest son, who was promoted to be the prince, but not long ago the prince was deposed first, and then executed in secret.

Although the emperor has not established a heir apparent now, the three sons under Empress Lu's knees must be one of them.

It was also true in the previous life, the emperor appointed Empress Lu's second prince as the prince, but not long after, the prince suddenly died of an emergency, and the empress died with grief.

Liu Yunxiang restrained his mind and stepped forward to salute the queen.

"You are the Liu family?" The voice was deep.

"The minister's wife Liu Yunxiang."

"Raise your head and let me take a look."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Empress Lu.She looked at her with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes, and when she looked down at her protruding belly, she suddenly sank again.

"You are indeed somewhat similar to her. If you want me to tell you, you are only a little bit like her. You are more beautiful than her, and you are more attractive to men."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, he couldn't answer these words and didn't dare to answer them.

"Although Jing'anhou's mansion is not as good as before, it is still decent. As the third wife of the mansion, you are pregnant with another man's child. This palace convicts you of adultery. Do you have anything to say?"

Liu Yunxiang clenched his fists, let Jinyan support him and knelt down, "I also ask your mother to check clearly, the minister's wife has a grievance."

"I am very clear about the matter between you and Lao Qi."

Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips, how could the dignified empress know about the mess between her and Yan Mu?
And even if it is clear, there is no need for the queen to come forward for this kind of thing, and there is no crime of adultery, unless the queen wants to target her, but she and the queen have no grievances or enmity...

"You shouldn't have kept the kid, but you did."

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."

When Liu Yunxiang was in a daze, Nanny Jiang came over with a cup of tea on a tray.

"Your Majesty rewarded you, hurry up and drink."

Looking at the cup of tea in front of him, Liu Yunxiang suddenly had a bad feeling, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty is gracious, my wife only wants to give birth to this child, and has no other ideas. My wife doesn't know what my mother's intention is, but my wife Absolutely no intention of going against the empress."

Empress Lu snorted coldly, "Mr. Liu, I reward you with a cup of tea. Why are you so panicked?"

"Your Majesty, a minister's wife cannot receive your reward."

"presumptuous!"

Liu Yunxiang knelt there, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body began to stiffen.

"Your Majesty, this servant will drink for my girl!" Jin Yan wanted to grab that cup of tea, but was slapped on the ground by Mammy Jiang.

"Anything is also worthy of drinking the tea given by the empress."

"Jinyan!" Liu Yunxiang hurriedly helped Jinyan up, but saw that the corner of her mouth was bleeding.

Jinyan wiped it carelessly, trying to protect Liu Yunxiang, but by herself, it was impossible, so she could only wipe away her tears in a hurry.

"Girl, what should I do?"

Liu Yunxiang patted Jinyan, took another deep breath, and looked at the cup of tea. Could it be that today is really impossible to escape?

When she didn't know what to do, a person came in a hurry and was stopped by a guard, so he knocked him away, stepped forward, and took the cup of tea away.

"Yan Mu, you are too presumptuous!"

Yan Mu smiled, with a bit of indecency, "Madam, I came in a hurry, my mouth is dry, I will give this cup of tea to me."

As he spoke, before everyone had time to react, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yan Mu!" Liu Yunxiang was shocked.

"Old Seven!" The queen's face turned blue.

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang up, hugged her into his arms, and then faced the queen directly.

"She is timid, Ma'am, don't scare her in the future."

"You...you are confused!" Empress Lu was so angry and anxious that her body was shaking.

"I'm just going to die. I come and go in a daze. It's fine."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Empress Lu in salute, then walked down the mountain with Liu Yunxiang in his arms, and walked faster and faster.

"Yan Mu..." Liu Yunxiang's voice was trembling.

"I am fine."

He said it was okay, but the corner of his mouth was overflowing with blood, more and more.

All the way to the mountain gate, Yan Mu spat out a mouthful of blood.
