Li Xue, who was above, glanced at Jiu Tang apologetically. She didn't expect that something would really happen today.

My father had just recovered from his illness for only half a day. According to the imperial doctor, he was no longer seriously ill. There was no way he would relapse again in such a short period of time. I just drank tea from the Xiang family, who had always been at odds with the Xu family... Everything was too coincidental, and it looked more like a premeditation.

Seeing Jiutang's eyes falling on the tea cup in front of his father, Li Xue seemed to understand something. His eyes scanned the whole place, past the many palace guards, and inadvertently landed on the location of the Xiang family.

Although the head of the Xiang family was a little surprised by this turn of events, he didn't panic at all, as if he didn't know anything about it. Li Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong. The Xiang family had been careful for many years, and the head of the family was not stupid. How could he openly poison his father with a gift in front of so many people.

Before Li Xue could think about it.

"Xiaoxue, you stay here." The queen on the side seemed to have just recovered and held the emperor's hand. Her voice was trembling and her tone was urgent, "Here comes the imperial doctor!"

A group of palace servants quickly helped the emperor to the side hall.

The queen kept Li Xue to appease the nobles of the aristocratic family present. Not long after, two more imperial doctors came in to check the emperor's food.

Two old men came. After receiving the order, they both couldn't believe it. The Emperor has been in poor health for several months. He suddenly felt better today. After waking up, he was clearly checked and found nothing serious.

The queen immediately became suspicious of the emperor's food and drink tonight, thinking that someone must be deliberately plotting to kill the emperor, so she invited the two of them to come.

The two imperial doctors are both old men in the palace. They are both highly respected and have superb medical skills and are well-informed. It is most appropriate for them to conduct this examination.

Fortunately, the emperor was reminiscing with various aristocratic families tonight, and most of his attention was on the treasures donated by each family. There wasn't a lot of food on the table, so it wasn't too much trouble to check.

After checking all the pastries before the emperor's case, the two imperial doctors shook their heads, raised their hands and said to Li Xue: "Back to the princess, there is no problem in eating the pastries above."

Of course there is no problem with the food here. After all, the same food is served on every table below. If there is a problem, it is not just the emperor who is in trouble.

Li Xue thought for a while, and in the eyes of everyone in the audience, she pointed to the cup of tea that had been drunk: "My father also used a cup of tea at that time, why don't we check..."

"Oh? Your Highness, the Crown Princess, is doubting the old minister?" Hearing this, the head of the Xiang family waved his sleeves, "The old minister is sincerely loyal to the Emperor. This move by the Crown Princess really chills the loyal ministers!"

Li Xue did not refute: "The two boxes of Luoyun Bixue tea presented by the Xiang family leader have not been touched from the beginning to the end. But after all, my father drank a full cup, and now if I check it, it can prove that the Xiang family leader If you are loyal, why not?"

"Hmph, as you please."

The two palace attendants carrying the box came forward and handed it to the imperial doctor. As soon as they opened the lid, the two old men frowned in unison, their movements synchronized.

Looking at each other, they can see the surprised look in each other's eyes: "This..."

"I would like you two to clear my name, Mr. Xiang. This tea is of the highest quality that can only be found, and I spent a lot of money to get it." The head of the Xiang family did not feel guilty. After all, he could not be stupid enough to mess with this tea. hands and feet.

"This..." The two imperial doctors still hesitated, and one of them whispered a few words to the child following behind. The child nodded, and after a while, a big yellow dog was brought from outside the hall.

An old man twisted a few leaves into a bowl, then added a little more water, shook it casually, and made tea. When he saw that the tea turned light brown, he put the tea on the ground.

The big yellow dog had been thirsty for several days. Now when he saw a bowl of water on the ground, he wagged his tail happily. Before taking a few licks, he suddenly wailed a few times, the sound was miserable, rolled on the ground a few times, then became silent and could no longer move.

"Back to the imperial concubine." The imperial doctor said tremblingly: "This tea... this tea is not Luoyun Bixue. Although the appearance and smell are similar, the bottom of Luoyun Bixue is light white, and the bottom of this tea It’s light cyan, this is the highly poisonous Qingshuang Yin.”

"Come here! Take it!" Although Li Xue couldn't believe it, she reacted immediately and pointed in the direction of the Xiang family leader.

Immediately, hundreds of guards quickly gathered and surrounded more than ten people from the Xiang family on three levels inside and three outside.

"This... this is impossible!" The head of the Xiang family yelled, "No wonder today's banquet is so grand, it must be Xu Ruyu, and you, Li Xue! Haha, do you think you can go smoothly like this? Dream!"

"Bold!" the eunuch beside the emperor scolded. Although the Emperor and the Queen are not here, their Royal Highness the Crown Princess is still here. Even though the head of the Xiang family has a high position and is just a minister, he is so bold and dares to call the Queen and the Crown Princess by their names.

"Master Xiang, you personally served this tea, and Concubine Jing brewed it herself. Besides, these two boxes of tea have been kept here, but so many people are watching. How do you think I want to frame you? ?”

Li Xue spoke calmly, and everyone agreed. Even if the Queen and the Xu family really have this idea, they still have no way to do it. After all, these things have not even been moved to the back and have always been in everyone's sight.

The generals who took refuge with the Xiang family leader secretly thought that they were stupid. The emperor had just recovered from his illness and he was thinking of poisoning him. Unexpectedly, the head of the Xiang family was quite shrewd in his work. He must have seen the emperor wake up and be so affectionate with the empress this time, and he also had Li Xue.

But the head of the Xiang family was very confused at the moment. Even if he could no longer hold back, he would not do such a thing. Moreover, he still asked his eldest daughter to make tea for the emperor himself. I originally wanted to ask for some benefits, but how could this happen...

Anyway, no one paid attention to her. Jiutang sat with her legs crossed, looking leisurely, and said softly to the four people behind her: "Is everyone full? Dongfang?"

"Huh? Oh, oh, okay." Dongfang Xiao took two more pieces from the plate of the palace servant behind him.

"Then run faster later."

"What?" The four people behind were stunned, "Why are we running?"

They didn't poison the emperor, and no officers or soldiers would come to arrest them. Furthermore, relying on Li Xue's relationship, they were very safe in the palace.

"Anyway, just be smart."

While talking, several members of the Xiang family were already surrounded by water.

Head of the Xiang family glanced at both sides with sharp eyes. Even if he didn't have that intention, the emperor was now seriously injured and unconscious. The entire Xiang family has been forced into a desperate situation, and he has reached the clone stage. In the entire Ruli Kingdom, there are only one hand who is stronger than him.

Since there is no way out, just give it a try, maybe there is a glimmer of hope. Moreover, I originally disliked the emperor for a long time, so this time I just moved the opportunity forward...

"Okay, okay! Now that the matter has come to this...then don't blame me for being unkind!"

The head of the Xiang family shouted loudly, his whole body full of momentum, and a powerful spiritual power spread out from his body. I don't know when I was holding a small bamboo tube in my hand. The head of the Xiang family used a little force in his hand, and the bamboo tube was thrown outside.

"Bah!" With a harsh sound, the bamboo tube quickly jumped into the sky, bursting into pieces of fireworks. It was obvious that he was gathering his troops.

"kill!"

After receiving the order, everyone in the Xiang family immediately sacrificed their own spiritual weapons and contracted beasts.

Everyone did not expect that the Xiang family could be so arrogant, and the aura of the head of the Xiang family was really strong. They were shocked to the spot and their movements were stagnant for a second.

The Xiang family is at the lowest Jindan stage, and there are five elders who are in the out-of-body stage. The head of the family stamped his feet and let out a majestic momentum that instantly knocked away the palace guards from three floors outside the surrounding area.

The scene was in chaos for a while. When the generals headed by the Xiang family saw the situation, they made a quick judgment in their minds. Regardless of whether the Shen family is really ambitious or not, now that the Shen family has been quickly wiped out, and it is the Xiang family's turn so soon, it is inevitable that those who have followed the Shen and Xiang families will not be left behind in the future.

It’s better to give it a try together! If the Xiang family gains power, their status will definitely rise to the next level!

Everyone present quickly divided into camps. For a while, everyone was fighting together, and they were inseparable.

"Run!" Jiu Tang shouted as he saw the four people behind him stunned. Quickly holding Dongfang Xiao who was closest to her - there was no way, who made Dongfang Xiao the weakest among them.

Dong Anchen and Li Wei came to their senses at this sound. They protected Qingwu and quickly crossed the noisy crowd and ran towards the outside of the hall.

Several people were half-bent, weaving through the squabbling crowd, and narrowly dodging the attacks that passed by. The moment they walked out, a violent roar erupted in the hall.

After walking very far outside, until they were separated by an entire distance from the main hall, Jiutang stood still holding Dongfang Xiao, and the three people behind him also arrived one after another. You can still see the situation at the palace banquet here, but you can't see it clearly, there are only all kinds of spiritual lights splashing everywhere.

Dongfang Xiao patted his chest, with a look of excitement about surviving the disaster: "I'm scared to death, Sister Ninth, how can the old man fall out so easily?"

"Rabbits will still bite when cornered, let alone someone like the head of the Xiang family. Even if he didn't have any thoughts of rebellion before, now he wants to fight for it."

Qingwu was a little worried: "But Li Xue is still inside. If the head of the Xiang family really wants to fight to the death, then..."

Jiutang shook his head: "No, since the queen has made this plan, it is impossible to put Li Xue in danger. No matter what, there are still people from the Xu family above, and they will definitely try their best to keep Li Xue. .”

After taking a look at the anxious four people, Jiu Tang considered it and said, "Otherwise, I'll keep an eye on you here, and you guys should go out and get away first. After all, the palace is not peaceful now."

No matter what, it's still very close to the main hall, just in case someone inside gets mad and rushes out. These little novices couldn't resist it at all.

"No! Brother! How can we abandon you?"

"Yes, miss, why don't we wait and see here, there's no danger anyway..." Before Qingwu could finish his words, a hot breath rushed from the outside, and it turned out to be a peak-level earth-level creature. Flame Lion!

There are even faint signs of breaking through to the heaven level.

Jiu Tang quickly threw Qing Wu to the ground. Fortunately, the target of the flaming lion was not them. The claws of the huge flame lion seemed to brush against Qingwu's back, and its hot breath swept straight towards the main hall. Qingwu froze. When the flame lion walked away, he stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiu Tang has some impression of this huge contract beast. This is what Li Xue told her at the beginning. The Xiang family's contract beast caused a sensation in the imperial city back then - after all, the only person who can own a suitable contract beast is Few, let alone such a high level.

There was a look of solemnity on Jiu Tang's face. He gritted his teeth, pulled off Feng Du from his waist, and stuffed it into Qing Wu's hands: "It's not safe here, you four, leave quickly!"

Li Wei looked in the direction outside the palace, his eyes showing a solemn look, and powerful auras kept coming from outside the palace. The palace change lasted only half a stick of incense, and now there were at least a hundred people outside. Any one of them can kill four of them almost instantly.

"Miss Jiu." Li Wei was confused for a moment. He felt that Jiu Tang had many more tricks than the rest of them. This place was too chaotic and unsafe. After they left, Jiu Tang could concentrate better, "I'll take them first." Three people leave, please proceed with caution."

"Sorry to trouble you." Jiu Tang met Li Wei's eyes and looked at each other.

Although Qing Wu knew that he couldn't help here, he was still reluctant to leave his lady. Li Wei pulled her wrist, and then she pulled it a little.

"Miss, be careful. If you can't fight, run away."

Jiu Tang had a smile on his face and felt a little helpless towards the girl: "Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to leave after a while..."
