Meeting Wen Qing who pushed the door out at the door, Zhen Shiniang deliberately slowed down.

"Cao Xiangye is dead..." Wen Qing took advantage of the moment Zhen Shiniang stopped beside him, and lowered his voice, "My lord asked the slave to tell Madam not to go in."

Cao Xiangye is indeed dead!

Although she had already guessed it, but she was suddenly confirmed, Zhen Shiniang's heart still couldn't help beating wildly. The intriguing glance he gave when he asked the eunuch to remind An Qinghou flashed in front of her eyes, and she remembered Shanshan's arrival again. Doctor Chi, something crossed her mind, Zhen Shiniang felt a strong uneasiness in her heart, she didn't have time to think about it, she paused, turned around and walked back.

"Mrs. Shen, please..." The little eunuch guarding the door dodged to block her. At the same time, the door of the side hall was pushed open with a creak, and everyone in the hall looked at Zhen Shiniang.

Turning around slowly, Zhen Shiniang straightened her back instantly.

As soon as she stepped into the side hall, Zhen Shiniang felt a heavy and depressing grief hit her face to face, and she was in a different world from the noise of the main hall.

But separated by a door, one side is the silence of death, and the other side is the interplay of wine and wine.Zhen Shiniang suddenly felt a sense of humor, she quickly glanced around, Madam Cao had passed out, and was lying on a soft couch temporarily set up in the southwest corner of the side hall surrounded by several maids, Wan Sui's face was gloomy Sitting on the dragon chair in the north, Xiao Yu and Zheng Gelao stood beside Wansui, while Marquis An Qing and two other important ministers stood in the direction of the south gate of the Lower Hall a little far away from Wansui.

In addition to the four guards with knives standing majestically behind Long live, there are four people dressed as domestic servants in the hall, and two imperial physicians are busy beside Cao Xiangye who is laid flat on the temporary low couch on the west side of the hall.Zhen Shiniang vaguely remembered that these people helped Xiangye Cao in, and it seemed that they were the servants beside Xiangye Cao.

In addition, there were four little eunuchs standing at the door, and there was no one else in the side hall.

Shen Zhongqing was not there!

Zhen Shiniang's heart skipped a beat. She saw him and Xiao Yu follow the crowd in with her own eyes. Xiao Yu is still here, so where did he go?Also, Marquis Anqing is the elder of the pavilion, and according to his status, he should stand at the head of Xiao Yu.Why is he standing under Xiao Yu?

The ancient hierarchy of honor and inferiority is not so strict, how could Xiao Yu make such a mistake?

The confusion disappeared in a flash, seeing the servants laying out the offerings and lighting the long burning lamp, they stepped back to this side, revealing the upright body of Prime Minister Cao on the low couch, without thinking too much.Zhen Shiniang's eyes fell on Cao Xiangye.

He is really dead!

Zhen Shiniang sighed quietly.

I have encountered too many cases of this kind in my previous life, including oxygen inhalation, infusion, electrocardiogram, the best western medicine, and the most perfect surgical instruments.Under such good conditions in the previous life, many people died without treatment.What's more, this is ancient?

Prime Minister Cao's loving smile flashed before her eyes, and Zhen Shiniang felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she walked towards the corpse of Prime Minister Cao.

The dead are the big ones, at least she kowtowed to Master Cao first.

"Madam Shen, please meet Long Live first." Xiao Yu said.

Zhen Shiniang paused, turned to Wansui, and knelt down three steps away, "...My daughter kowtows to Wansui."

Banzai quietly looked at the woman kneeling at his feet.Although there is a sad look on his face, he is very calm.The calmness between his brows approached the man present, he couldn't help feeling conflicted, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The hall was surprisingly quiet.

"Ai Qing, do you know why I announce you?"

Just when Zhen Shiniang couldn't bear the silence and was about to speak again, a deep voice of Long Live came from her ear.

She wants to know too!

Zhen Shiniang muttered something in her heart, but she didn't dare to show any neglect on her face. She kowtowed and said, "I don't know."

"It was Cao Aiqing who protected you in front of me..." Long live's voice was a little ponderous.

This woman has an appearance that can overwhelm the country, and also has a calmness that surpasses ordinary people. If she is as loyal as Shen Zhongqing, it's fine, but if she is bent on revenge... His decree will go on, and she will be dumped by her for a long time. !

Cao Xiangye actually protected her in front of Long Live?

why?

What is the relationship between Cao Xiangye and the Zhen family?

Thinking of his excited expression when meeting Prime Minister Cao for the first time, Zhen Shiniang was even more sure that she must have a relationship with Prime Minister Cao, and was thinking about how to investigate when she went back, when Long Live suddenly raised her voice, "Zhen Aiqing Ting Feng!"

Zhen Shiniang was startled, and hurriedly knelt up straight.

"I will give you a five-rank imperial order, and I will give you a gold medal to avoid death. If you commit a capital crime in the future, holding this gold medal can save you from death!" Long live's voice was sonorous and powerful.

After all, things in the future have not happened, but in front of him, he is long live, and he promises everything, especially if he can't live up to his promise to the dead!

Knowing that her life is not long and giving this, this long live will really give away favors!

Zhen Shiniang was amused while holding the red gold death-free gold medal handed over by Eunuch Fu. She is a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, and she doesn't kill people, set fires and commit crimes. What's the use of such trouble?

It's better to give her a few more bags of gold.

Weighing a gold medal in your hand weighs about two or three taels, but it can be exchanged for a few taels of silver, "... I wonder how many taels of silver can be exchanged for this ancient one tael of gold?"

Just as he was thinking, he heard a noise outside the hall.

A young eunuch knocked on the door and came in, bowing and replying, "The queen has already verified that it was Eunuch Liu who poured wine into the wine pot of Mr. Cao by mistake. The important officials outside have already finished the banquet, and they have complained for Mr. Cao, clamoring to enter The palace visits Master Cao."

There is a special decree for long live. During the banquet, Cao Xiangye's jug is dedicated, and white water is specially filled in it.

No wonder Prime Minister Cao was drinking alcohol even though he knew he had a heart attack. It turned out that he had drunk it by mistake. Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized, but she frowned again, "...this is a royal feast, and Prime Minister Cao is an important minister in the court. How could that happen?" Such a mistake?"

"Nonsense!" Just as he was wondering, he heard Qu Rong, Minister of the Ministry of Justice standing next to An Qinghou, yelled sharply, "When Lord Hou toasted, I was on the sidelines, and I could see clearly that Xiangye Cao's wine was Mrs. Cao's." Put the lamp in person, how could it be Eunuch Liu who fell by mistake?"

"It was Xiuzhu, the female officer next to the queen, who brought Eunuch Liu to the front of the hall and admitted it in front of the officials." The little eunuch plopped down on his knees, "Madam Cao's wine pot is empty, and it just so happens that Lord Anqing came to toast. Madam greeted people, and Eunuch Liu, who was in charge of Mr. Cao’s drinks, handed over a pot..." After finishing speaking in one breath, the little eunuch let out a breath, "Eunuch Liu said that there were so many people at that time, and he was too busy to faint. The wine was originally prepared for others, and as I was passing by Master Cao’s wine table, seeing Madam Cao asking for it, I hurriedly handed it over.”

When the wine was suddenly changed, Mrs. Cao personally held the cup, and Marquis Anqing pressed her with the cup. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, in order to protect Mrs. Cao's reputation, even if Mrs. Cao drank strong wine in the glass at that time, it would not be easy to tell the truth.

Mr. Cao had a heart attack. It happened that when the jug was empty, Marquis Anqing came to toast. His wife was in a hurry to pour the wine. Eunuch Liu happened to pass by with a jug of real spirits. Mr. Cao's drinker.

If not, how could Mrs. Cao trust him so much that she poured it for Mr. Cao without even checking whether it was water or wine when she picked up the pot, to murder her husband?

There are too many coincidences!

In an instant, Zhen Shiniang suddenly understood that even if she rushed over desperately, she still couldn't save Xiangye Cao.

A glass of spirits in that environment may indeed cause Mr. Cao's heart attack, but to trigger his heart attack [-]%, the jug must contain more than just spirits!

With her heart beating wildly, Zhen Shiniang glanced secretly at Wan Live.

Long live's face was as sinking as water, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Zhen Shiniang looked at Marquis An Qing again, who was bowing down to plead guilty, "...it's all the minister's unintentional fault of failing to investigate, which made Prime Minister Cao suffer, and I beg Long Live to punish the minister."

This guy is so arrogant, he doesn't even have to kneel to plead guilty with Long Live.

Zhen Shiniang said a few words, and just wanted to see Wansui's expression, she heard Wansui say, "Mrs. Cao poured the wine herself. How could Xue Aiqing know that Xiangye Cao's cup contained wine? This matter has nothing to do with you. Xue Aiqing doesn't need it." Blame it." The voice was so gentle and peaceful that Zhen Shiniang's eyes fell on the spot.

It turned out that Long Live would bully them, these powerless little shrimps!

Marquis An Qing thanked En and stood up straight, Qu Rong took the opportunity to ask, "Everyone is clamoring to see the Prime Minister, do you want me to tell them the sad news of the death of Prime Minister Cao?"

Wouldn't it be even more chaotic if it was spread out at this time!

Zhen Shiniang's eyes flashed the student movement from her previous life, and she looked up at Wansui.

"...No need!" Long live's voice was unquestionable, and he looked at Eunuch Fu, "You go out and pass on my oral order in person. Mr. Cao is safe and well, and needs to rest. Please stay safe and don't be impatient."

Is that the end?

This is obviously a conspiracy, Wan Sui is still so calm, just let a personal eunuch go out to spread the word, why didn't he order additional imperial guards to go to the main hall to maintain order, and also send more senior experts to guard the side hall?

Seeing Eunuch Fu walking out in response, Zhen Shiniang was even more confused:

Long live this, is it a fool or an idiot? I don't know if people have tried their best to arrange this game just to take you away?

"Mr. Cao and Ling's mother had a very close relationship. Before he left, he never forgot that Mrs. Shen was an orphan and helpless in this world." Just as he was confused, An Qinghou's voice sounded in Zhen Shiniang's ear, "... He has obtained a seal of protection, so let's go and kowtow to Master Cao."

The tone is peaceful and kind, just like an elder.

Zhen Shiniang nodded subconsciously, she was going to kowtow to Master Cao before.

"...Master Xiao told you not to kowtow in the past." Just as she was about to take a step, Qiu Ju quietly tugged at Zhen Shiniang's sleeve, and whispered in her ear while helping her.

Zhen Shiniang was aroused, and looked at Xiao Yu, who shook his head wordlessly.

Then look at Wanzai, whose face is sinking like water, and the four guards behind him who are fully alert and highly nervous.

In a flash of time, Zhen Shiniang understood, and all the previous confusions were suddenly resolved.

It's not that Long Live doesn't know that the commotion outside will soon turn into a coup, but that the real dragon-tiger fight tonight is in this side hall.

One dragon and one tiger are confronting each other.

As long as the winner is determined here, the shrimp soldiers and crabs outside will naturally have nothing to fear.

And she is a hostage that An Qinghou temporarily forced Wan Suixuan in to suppress Shen Zhongqing, who went out to dispatch troops! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
