The emperor asked the fifth prince to step forward: "Little five, your 'brother' answered very well. I'll let you pick any pastries. ”

The Eighth Emperor and the Ninth Emperor looked at each other again, and replied in unison: "Father Emperor hasn't read the articles of the other people of ours, why did he directly praise the Fifth Emperor Brother?" ”

The Ten Princes reacted.

Sure enough, all the movement did not hide from the eyes of his father.

The Ten Princes took the initiative to salute the Five Princes and bent down and said, "Thank you Brother Five for your advice." ”

The Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Emperor explained: "My father's examination of our brother is actually the same problem. ”

The Emperor looked at the Seventh Prince, waiting for his answer.

Although there was no praise or smile on the emperor's face when this move was made, whether it was Su Zhaoning, Concubine Zhen, or even the queen and Concubine Lin knew that this was on behalf of the Seven Princes.

The Seven Princes continued to explain: "There are clouds of brothers in "Kindergarten Qionglin", parents who are all in the world, and the rarest brothers in the world. It must be the light of the same breath, and the elegance of the hands and feet is not harmed. Yukun Jinyou, the envy of the brothers; Boxun Zhongchi, which is the corresponding sound and qi. Brothers are both sizzling, and they are called calyxes and calyxes; Brothers Lianfang, known as the Tang Tang show. ”

"The Emperor taught us brotherhood and friendship on the subject. The little emperor's younger brother is still young, and it is a little difficult for him to recite "Kindergarten Qionglin". But I didn't think of helping. The Seventh Emperor bowed to the Fifth Prince, "Fifth Emperor Brother, I'm so ashamed." ”

"Imperial brother, you are better than being a brother." The Seventh Prince bowed to the Tenth Prince.

The Tenth Prince's face turned a little red, and he said embarrassedly: "I was also woken up by the Fifth Emperor Brother." ”

The Eighth and Ninth Princes knew what they had done wrong. The two of them are twins, and most of the time they speak the same voice.

This time too.

The two bowed at the same time, and saluted at the same time: "The emperor is ashamed." ”

The Emperor was very pleased with the reaction of several people. He pointed to Su Zhaoning and said, "Mrs. Dingyuan Hou has a pair of skillful hands, and these pastries have been divided enough for you to eat, so go and taste them." ”

Hearing the emperor praise Su Zhaoning again, the queen's eyes looked at Su Zhaoning's side again.

Lin Guifei felt that her heart was going numb with pain. can't get rid of Su Zhaoning, and watch her being valued by the emperor, Lin Guifei really gritted her teeth and hated it.

Several princes had already walked up to the pastry.

Su Zhaoning's heartbeat suddenly increased a little.

Although Xi Concubine's words have been proven to be false, Su Zhaoning has always been a little worried.

Seeing that the fifth prince was about to put the pastry in his hand, Su Zhaoning finally couldn't help but speak.

"Wait a minute."

Su Zhaoning turned his head and looked at the queen over there.

I only heard the queen say: "Although this pastry was sent by the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, let's go through it according to the rules." ”

"Don't care, Mrs. Hou. These are the rules of the palace. The queen explained to Su Zhaoning.

Although this explanation does not give Su Zhaoning a chance to refuse and refute at all, it is enough to reflect the importance that the queen attaches to Su Zhaoning now.

Otherwise, why should the mother of a nation explain to the same courtier?

Of course Su Zhaoning understood. That's what she's looking forward to.

Su Zhaoning replied: "The courtiers understand that the queen is bothered to worry about the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion again. ”

Listening to these words very sincerely, the trace of dissatisfaction with Su Zhaoning in the queen's heart gradually dissipated a little.

The queen thought that it was impossible for the emperor to take a fancy to this Dingyuan Marquis.

His Majesty is a very face-loving person. Obviously, he had long been suspicious of Chen Tianyang, but he still refused to deal with him directly, because he was worried that he would be criticized by the historian. snatching the wife of a courtier, how could His Majesty fall with such a reputation?

The queen's heart was a little more stable. She instructed the eunuchs to inspect the pastries according to the procedure for inspecting the food.

Fortunately, these pastries were divided into several petals by Su Zhaoning, and now after the eunuch tastes them, there are still a lot left.

"Back to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, there is no problem." The eunuch replied.

The queen said, "Then the emperors should taste it." ”

The Ten Princes took a piece of petal pastry with chopsticks and put it on a small plate, and then he did not immediately call for food, but walked to the queen with this small plate.

The tenth prince said: "The queen mother loves peach blossoms, please taste them." ”

The queen smiled and praised: "Xiao Shi is very well-behaved. ”

She instructed the maid behind her to bring the pastry and prepare to taste it.

A nervous voice suddenly came.

"Fifth Prince, Fifth Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Su Zhaoning nervously ran to the side of the five princes, only to see that the five princes' faces were flushed, and the whole person's breathing became very short.

"Quick, pass on the Imperial Doctor." Concubine Zhen hurriedly commanded.

A smile rose at the corner of Concubine Lin's mouth, and she ordered: "Take down these two people who plotted against the prince and murdered the prince!" ”

Nan Minxing watched the imperial guards rush in, and hurriedly ran to Su Zhaoning's side: "Mother, mother." ”

"Fifth Prince, how are you?" Su Zhaoning slapped the back of the fifth prince hard, just wanting to help him shoot the pastry.

How could it be, this pastry has obviously experienced poison. Could it be that there is a colorless and odorless poison that can escape the inspection of the palace?

The one who wanted to call the concubine over almost reached Su Zhaoning's throat, and she intuitively felt that the concubine must know something.

But in addition to the concubine, there should be other people.

Su Zhaoning tried hard to recall every detail after entering the palace, as well as what happened after meeting Nan Qichen.

The fifth prince was already lying on the ground, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his face turned from red to blue.

The Imperial Doctor hurriedly ran over and crouched down to treat him.

In the mansion of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, the sixth princess is asking the eldest princess of Chaoyang a question.

"Aunt Huang, why was the concubine selected by her father to enter the palace in the first place?" The sixth princess looked puzzled, and she complained, "I look at this concubine very stupidly. ”

Su Zhaoning's hairpin was inserted, and she didn't see such a trivial matter as turning black, so she also had to send someone to hurry up to tell the imperial aunt. The pastry must have been half poisoned, and half of it was not. The sixth princess thought self-righteously.

She is not as smart as the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and in terms of handling things, she blindly relies on power and oppression.

"All the pastries in the entrance will be inspected by the silver needle. Unless the cook didn't poison him, he would definitely find out. Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was stubborn, so she made her pay. The sixth princess was very happy when she thought about what might happen next.

When Nan Qichen was abused by the second emperor's brother, Chen Tianyang had already fully expressed his residual feelings for Su Zhaoning. If Su Zhaoning died, I don't know what Chen Tianyang would do to her Seventh Emperor Sister?

Thinking of this, the sixth princess asked with interest: "Aunt Huang, Aunt Huang, when will Chen Tianyang return to Beijing?" What's going on over there at Jingmen Pass? ”

The eldest princess of Chaoyang actually did not agree with the act of putting the Yuanhou Mansion to death this time. Because the Marquis of Dingyuan, Nan Huaixin is dead, and the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion has already caught turtles in the urn, so there is no need to spend his mind at all.

As for the matter of borrowing poison and pulling the four princes into the water, this is a bit light.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang neither believed that the fourth prince would sit still, nor did she believe that the emperor would deal with a son so decisively.

After all, now the three princes are following Chen Tianyang to fight the enemy at Jingmen Pass. If Jingmen Pass is victorious, the emperor is bound to reward the three princes by the way.

When the time comes, the three princes will be dominant, and the situation will not be very good.

Inside the palace, Su Zhaoning and Nan Minxing have been escorted to the side of the palace.

The Imperial Physician was pulling the last silver needle out of the Fifth Prince's body.

He rolled up the eyelids of the five princes and looked at them, then pressed the other party's pulse, leaned over to listen to the other party's heartbeat.

After doing all this, the imperial doctor knelt and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent. The fifth prince has died. ”

The queen stood up suddenly, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible, quickly give me the next diagnosis and treatment of the five princes!" ”

Lin Guifei raised her hand, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed: "This good child, how can you say that it is gone." ”

The rest of the little princes had already changed their expressions in fright.

The eleventh prince cried out loud.

The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince hurriedly said to the Imperial Doctor: "You quickly check this prince, and this prince has also eaten this pastry." ”

Although the sixth prince and the seventh prince did not speak, their eyes were also full of fear.

The emperor's face turned pale, and he stood up and walked step by step to the five princes who had fallen to the ground.

It can be said that among the princes in this room, the emperor thinks that this little five is a good one.

He was young, intelligent, and most importantly, he knew what he was thinking.

Such a son, how could the emperor accept that it was gone.

"Check it out to me!" The Emperor gritted his teeth.

The doctor hurried to inspect the plate of pastries.

But no matter how carefully he observed, checked back and forth, there was no problem with this pastry.

Moreover, except for the five princes, there is no problem with the rest of the princes.

"Back to Your Majesty, this pastry is not poisonous." The Imperial Doctor said.

Lin Guifei asked, "How did the five princes die?" Could it be that he was choked to death? ”

The Imperial Physician hurriedly went back to check on the corpses of the five princes.

The emperor turned his head and looked at the empress: "Empress, what do you think?" ”

Among the people present, in addition to the princes, only the queen also tasted the pastry.

The queen had no idea that today's events would turn out like this. So, when the emperor opened her mouth to ask, she remembered that she had also eaten the pastry.

After taking a few steps and turning around, the queen felt that she was no different.

"What's going on?" The queen looked at the Imperial Doctor.

In front of the emperor and queen, in fact, the imperial doctor couldn't do anything to inspect the corpse at all. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was thinking about the words in his heart.

A voice rang out in the corner.

"Imperial Doctor, is there anything that the Fifth Prince can't eat on weekdays?" Su Zhaoning didn't know medical skills, but she was fortunate to have met two special patients.

Moss is the onset of smelling something. So, will there be some people who can't eat something that others can eat at all?

Su Zhaoning didn't know if the emperor could listen to her anymore, but she could only try her best.

"Imperial Doctor, will there be something, it doesn't matter if we eat it, but the fifth prince can't eat it?" Su Zhaoning asked anxiously.
