Drunk Bamboo

"Your Majesty, I don't know what went wrong. But I believe that there will be no problem with the almond cookies I made!"

The queen raised her slightly trembling eyes.

As the person in charge, she had no choice but to take responsibility if a serious accident occurred at the banquet. She would not quibble or shirk her responsibility.

But she would not admit to poisoning him.

She believed in herself and could not allow herself to be slandered.

This is the dignity of being a queen.

The emperor had a gloomy face and said in a cold tone: "Could Gao Fengyu lie?"

It turned out that there was something wrong with the snacks made by the Queen herself. Even things she touched could be poisonous. Who else in the palace is safe?

The snacks in front of the emperor were poisoned so easily.

How can I bear it!

"Gao Fengyu would not lie. I request a thorough investigation of this matter."

The queen slowly stood up and sat upright with a firm attitude.

The emperor glanced at her with cold eyes:

"I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly to see who dared to poison me. If it weren't for Feng'er and Yuzhu's wonderful performance, I might have eaten the almond biscuit."

"Your Majesty!" His eyes widened in fear.

Is the emperor doubting her?

How could she poison her own husband!

The emperor's cold eyes chilled her heart.

Pretend to remain calm and maintain the appearance of a queen.

"The queen has been frightened. She should rest in Changle Palace for the next few days and not have to take care of the trivial matters in the harem."

The emperor shook his golden dragon robe fiercely.

"Go to Fu'an Palace!"

The queen instantly collapsed in her chair, her eyes blank.

Your Majesty did not believe her after all.

Changle Palace.

Chaoyang and Baiguo were tasked with finding Xiao Bingxin.

Xie Yuzhu also stood up and prepared to go to Zhang Xinghe with Hua Qinfeng to find out the important events that happened at today's banquet.

One was my personal experience, and the other happened right next to me.

If it was poisoning, she was also at the table and didn't notice anything unusual in the food.

Although she did not eat the almond cake, she took a look at it when the maid brought it to her and it did not look like it was poisoned.

Even she, who is a person who develops poisonous herbs and poisons, couldn't find anything. Where did the poison come from?

Could it be food incompatibility poisoning?

This requires going to the scene and taking a good look at the food on the table and the surrounding plants.

"Your Majesty should trust Lord Zhang Xinghe very much. No one else in the palace went to for such an important matter, only Lord Zhang. Do you think that in a short time, the position of Minister of Justice will be his?"

Xie Yuzhu lifted his left foot, hopped his right foot and took two steps. When he didn't see Hua Qinfeng coming, he turned around and asked:

"Your Highness, aren't you leaving? Aren't you going to look for Master Zhang?"

Hua Qinfeng looked at her feet and came over to hold her horizontally.

"Doctor Qi said you can't use force on your legs."

"I'll walk slowly...Prince, please put me down!" Xie Yuzhu was easily held in his arms.

"Walking slowly is also a sign of exertion. We must listen to the doctor's advice." Hua Qinfeng carried her and walked out of the door with brisk steps.

The palace maids passing by were first startled, then lowered their heads in shyness.

"This is the imperial palace. How can Your Majesty hug me like this?" Xie Yuzhu blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed.

"I carried you all the way here just now, and my father and mother saw it, but they didn't say anything. They didn't say anything, and no one else will say anything either."

"That's different. The situation just now was special. My clothes were wet, I was frightened, my feet hurt, and I couldn't walk. It was understandable that the prince held me."

"You have a leg injury now and you're frightened, so it's understandable." Hua Qinfeng ignored her and walked on the road calmly with her in his arms.

"There's trouble in the palace, stop making a fuss. Put me down quickly! My hair is still loose!" Xie Yuzhu panicked, her whole body stiff, and she kicked her legs hard, trying to break free from Hua Qinfeng's arms.

More and more people saw their intimate actions.

This is shocking even in modern times, let alone in a palace with strict rules.

If this gets out, I don’t know how it will be interpreted.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Don't kick your legs too hard, or you will hurt your feet. I'll put you down." Hua Qinfeng gently put her down, holding her arm with one hand, letting the center of gravity of the left side of her body lean on him.

"These are turbulent times, Your Highness should be more restrained." Xie Yuzhu took a breath and straightened his clothes.

"My father and mother are worried and anxious right now. Half of the ministers have been poisoned and half have returned home. No one will pay attention to us. I just don't want you to get hurt again."

Hua Qinfeng was also worried about her feet, and this time he was not really reckless, nor was he trying to show off.

"I understand the prince's intention. There are so many eyes in the palace, and it will inevitably be talked about in the future. It will be another matter."

Xie Yuzhu held his hand and said softly.

Hua Qinfeng responded and held her hand tightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

His hair was completely dry and it looked awkward to let it down. He touched his sleeves and found nothing but silver needles and a few bottles of poison, not even a handkerchief.

She raised her head and looked around to see if she could find a branch to use as a hairpin, and at a glance she saw the jade hairpin on Hua Qin Feng's head.

"Your Highness, can I lend you something?" Xie Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"Take whatever you want." Hua Qinfeng was puzzled, but did not ask her what she wanted.

Stand on tiptoes and raise your arms.

Hua Qinfeng opened his eyes and watched her hand slowly approach his face.

Do you want to touch his face?

His body stiffened in panic and his head tilted up involuntarily.

Xie Yuzhu tried her best, but before she could touch the hairpin, her feet were weakened and her body fell directly into Hua Qinfeng's arms.

"Be careful! Is your foot hurt?" He caught it with both hands.

"No, it's okay, it's just that you're too tall..." He sighed softly.

The original owner's height was a real flaw.

"Is there anything on my face?" Hua Qinfeng asked.

"Hairpin, I want a hairpin to tie my hair up, Your Majesty."

"Well... just tell me. You can't reach it even if you stand on tiptoe." He stretched out his hand and was about to pull out the hairpin.

But Xie Yuzhu lowered her head and muttered, "The prince told me to get it myself, and now he looks down on my height."

"I'm not short... I won't be short in the future. I'm only fifteen and still growing. In two years, I might be taller than Bai Guo."

The next moment, Hua Qinfeng bent down and lowered his head.

"Take it."

The hairpin was right in front of her.

He reached out and easily pulled out one of the hairpins from her black hair.

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty." My heart felt warm.

"If you want to grow taller, you have to eat more, exercise more, worry less, get injured less, and be happy every day, then you can grow taller." Hua Qinfeng said seriously.

"Okay, I'll remember that." It was very heartwarming to hear.

Tie your hair up with a hairpin.

"what!"

Suddenly her body felt lighter again.

Hua Qinfeng picked her up like a child and let her sit on his shoulders.

"Don't make any noise, or you'll attract someone. I'll take a few more steps while no one is around."

Having said that, he rushed out like flying.

It was the first time that Xie Yuzhu saw the surrounding scenery from such a height.

It turns out that this is the scenery seen through Huaqin Feng’s eyes, wider and more vast.

They put her down only when they reached the lotus garden.

"Why are you in the Lotus Garden?" Although she also wanted to come and take another look, "Didn't the prince want to look for Lord Zhang?"

"It wasn't long after the incident, and Zhang Xinghe must have been inside to check the scene. Both incidents happened here, so it's impossible for Zhang Xinghe not to come here in person."
