This was a pain in the heart of Emperor Mingde.

You know, Princess Yuyang was Emperor Mingde's biological sister. He was already the emperor at that time, but he failed to protect her, and his sister was thus convicted.

Later, after Emperor Mingde consolidated his power, he took great pains to find out that it was an injustice.

But what does it matter? Even if the Empress Dowager admitted in front of Emperor Mingde that she made the hasty decision out of anger and in order to stabilize the court, she still allowed Emperor Mingde to restore Princess Yuyang's fiefdom.

But Princess Yuyang's loved ones were either dead or injured, and even she herself was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.

What happened today is simply a replica of what happened back then.

The Queen Mother once said, "There's something wrong with the wine in the Princess's Mansion!"

Shi Chengxuan said today the same thing he said back then: "There is something wrong with the wine in the princess's mansion."

Emperor Mingde knew that the charcoal seller was giving him a gift and handing him a knife so that he could take revenge with a clear conscience.

He had to accept this generous gift, so he gave the order in a serious tone, "Close the palace gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

As soon as the order was given, several palace gates slammed shut.

When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she stood up suddenly, horrified, "What is the Emperor going to do? Where did he go?"

There were palace maids kneeling on the ground in the hall, not daring to make a sound, and no one responded.

Because the spy's message had not yet been delivered, he was blocked outside the palace gate.

It was an old maid in the palace, begging the guard at the palace gate, "We are old acquaintances, and we are familiar faces coming and going, right? Please let me in. I am out shopping under the order of the Empress Dowager, you see..."

The chief guard gave an order, "Catch him!"

The old lady was so stunned that she didn't even have time to utter "ah" before she was dragged away.

The chief guard issued an order in a cold voice, "Anyone who attempts to enter or leave the palace will be arrested!"

In Princess Chanyu's mansion, the atmosphere in the peach blossom forest was tense.

Although most of the people who came today were ladies, there were also a few court officials.

If it is confirmed that the princess's mansion used wine laced with drugs and that court officials were among the guests at the banquet, then the matter would be serious.

Princess Chanyu was thinking of Princess Yuyang's case at this moment, and she felt extremely panicked.

She couldn't control herself during the entire flower viewing party.

Following the shout of "The imperial physician is here", the crowd automatically split into two groups.

Everyone's heart was startled.

The people who came to protect Imperial Doctor Zhang were actually... actually the Western Shadow Guards!

The Western Shadow Guards rarely appear in public and never carry out public missions. They are only responsible for the most private matters of Emperor Mingde.

The reason why he recognized those two men as the Western Shadow Guards was because they were wearing the exclusive black Shadow Guard official uniforms with the word "Shadow" embroidered on their arms.

Everyone knew that the Western Shadow Guards had been dispatched.

They escorted Doctor Zhang towards Shi Chengxuan.

Doctor Zhang went forward to check and was very sure that Shi Chengxuan had been drugged.

The reason why he didn't have an attack and did not do anything shameful was not only because he vomited, but also because this kind of drug had to be combined with another kind of incense called "entanglement".

The kind of aphrodisiac incense called "Chanqing" is mostly in the form of coiled incense and is not taken orally.

Doctor Zhang is very experienced in this area, and there are endless methods in the palace, so it is hard for him not to be experienced.

Princess Chanyu gritted her teeth, smiled instead of getting angry, and struggled to the death, "Who knows where he got the wine from?"

Tang Chujun also sneered, "This is easy. Just test other people who have drunk in the princess's mansion and you will know."

I don't know who pushed a man in the crowd, and the man staggered to Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang reached out and took the pulse, checked the eyes and tongue, and came to the conclusion, "There is something wrong with the wine in the princess's mansion."

Just then, Ma Chuyi arrived.

He came with the Dongyu Guards to perform meritorious service.

The housekeeper of the princess's residence hurried over to report to Princess Chanyu, "The front hall is in chaos, and the Dongyu Guards have surrounded our princess's residence."

Princess Chanyu turned pale and her body was shaky. "What! Why?"

The "why" was directed at Ma Chuyi who was walking towards them. When he approached, she put on the airs of a princess, "How dare you, the Dongyu Guards, surround my princess's mansion! Do you still have the imperial power in your eyes?"

Ma Chuyi had a stern face and said, "Dongyu Guards are on duty, who cares about your princess's mansion!"

"You!" Princess Chanyu felt dizzy. This scene was so similar to that of the past!

Her heartbeat was irregular and her breathing was disordered.

She must immediately seek the advice of the Queen Mother! Otherwise, disaster will ensue. As soon as she turns around...

Behind him were no longer the onlookers, but... the Western Shadow Guards!

Princess Chanyu shuddered, and with a hint of arrogance, she said, "Get out of the way!"

After the shout of "get out of the way" came out, Xiyingwei did not move at all.

At the same time, Eunuch Qi shouted "The Emperor has arrived," causing everyone present to kneel down to welcome him.

Princess Chanyu thought to herself it was over!

She was designed!

It was obvious that she held the flower-viewing banquet in order to drag the Jian'an Marquis Mansion into an abyss of no return, but now she has fallen off a cliff.

It was clearly a well-planned thing, so what went wrong?

Emperor Mingde said calmly, "Stand up."

A Dongyu Guard came running from a distance, greeted Emperor Mingde, and then whispered a few words to Ma Chuyi.

Ma Chuyi reported to Emperor Mingde again.

Emperor Mingde ordered in a deep voice, "Move them all up."

After a while, jars of wine were brought up.

Doctor Zhang examined it and nodded, "It's the same wine that Lord Shi drank."

All the men present were brought in for examination one after another, and the same conclusion was reached.

Emperor Mingde would not even try the case again.

The wine is from the princess's mansion!

The wine is also problematic!

There is something wrong with the incense coil!

There are court officials present!

A scandal occurred at the flower viewing banquet!

What's there to judge? Isn't it exactly the same as Princess Yuyang's case?

There was no trial, they just dealt with it directly. The Empress Dowager at that time had no power to deal with it directly.

The current Emperor Mingde can clearly decide if his subjects must die, but he still stands here patiently to recreate the past.

Princess Chanyu lost all color and suddenly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, spare me! My brother... I beg you to show mercy. I made the wine myself and didn't cause any harm. Really, Your Majesty, please check it out. Today's incident was all framed."

The wine is her wine, yes, and the fragrance is her fragrance, yes.

But she didn't let people give this wine to all the officials, she only gave it to Shi Chengxuan!

She was wronged! She was really wronged!

In fact, if this absurd case is really discussed, it is at most a case of debauchery, and is far from the level of being punishable by death, cutting, or exile.

But with the case of Princess Yuyang happening before, isn’t the current emperor standing here to avenge that incident?

Princess Yuyang did the same thing back then, she knelt down and cried, begging the Empress Dowager for mercy.

But the Empress Dowager ordered in front of her, "Drag the Prince Consort out and behead him!"

As the word "behead" was uttered, the mother of the prince consort fell to the ground and died instantly.

That was the birthday of the prince consort's mother.

Emperor Mingde's face showed no emotion, but his voice was extremely cold, like a gust of cold wind. "Princess Chanyu disturbed the court and harmed the officials. Her crime is unforgivable. Drag her out and behead her!"

As soon as the word "behead" fell, the Western Shadow Guard hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, there is a person in the underground palace..."
