    The next day, news came from the East Palace that Cao, who had just been promoted to the crown prince's concubine, died of a sudden illness last night.  It is said that in a dream, the Crown Princess was shocked to hear that she sat up, half-legged and half-legged, and had no time to untie her hair, so she hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, and personally guarded her beside her until dawn.  However, when Cao was in Wuding, he suffered from abdominal pain. Although many treatments were used at that time, the root cause was not eradicated. This time, it suddenly broke out again and was fierce. After all, he could not survive it and unfortunately died.  The Crown Princess endured her grief and sent someone to inform the family. At dawn, the news reached the Cao family. The Cao family were shocked and cried bitterly. Cao's mother was allowed to enter the palace.  When she was brought in, her daughter had already rested in the Paradise Hall, which was specially used to prepare funerals for the deceased palace concubines. All she saw was a nanmu coffin. The palace was decorated with plain curtains and white silk curtains. The palace maids and eunuchs wore linen and white clothes, and the darkness surrounded her kneeling body.  Before, mourn and cry.

    The prince did not show up, but the princess saw Cao's mother in person. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she shed tears before saying anything.  He said that in the past when he was in Wuding, Cao served the prince before him and always respected Shuhui. At that time, before he entered the house, he already cherished her and formed a sisterly relationship. Now they finally live together in the East Palace, and they want to be together in the future.  We worked together to serve the prince, but we didn't expect that she fell violently ill last night, and the prince's medicine and stone were ineffective.

    Before he finished speaking, he choked up sobs several times that he could not speak. He was supported by a female official and could not stop crying.

    Cao's mother had never heard that her daughter had abdominal pain before. When she heard the bad news, she was sad and surprised. However, she had never seen her daughter since she entered the palace. She only visited her during the four seasons.  , just get some rewards from the palace.  Now, long live Jackie Chan, the eldest son has been crowned the crown prince, and the daughter has also followed suit. The day after the prince's wedding, she was appointed as a side concubine to accompany the wedding. I still remember the whole family celebrating happily and with great pride. I never imagined that the glory was still lingering, and it was only a few years old.  Oh my God, I got the news again that my daughter died violently in the palace, and I was not allowed to see her for the last time.

    Even though Mother Cao was suspicious, how could she dare to question it? She only blamed her daughter for being unlucky and unable to enjoy the wealth and honor of this family, and she couldn't stop crying.  He also heard that the Crown Princess said that he could report Cao's daily virtues and seek honors and posthumous honors, so he knelt down to the Crown Princess tremblingly, and the Crown Princess comforted her again.

    Xiao Lie was busy with everything, so he had to report that there was a funeral in the East Palace. After being surprised, without thinking too much, he approved the princess's request with his imperial pen Zhu Gou.  The Cao family was given a title and buried in the imperial mausoleum. The four maids and four eunuchs who used to serve her were willing to die to accompany the master. The funeral was extremely beautiful, and the Cao family was comforted afterward.

    The unexpected death of the concubine in the East Palace was like a pebble thrown into the lake. It didn¡¯t even ripple in the microwave for a few times before disappearing without a trace.  Soon, no one mentioned the woman whose life was as thin as paper anymore. Instead, the princess was just married for a few days. She was very happy, but she was mourned. It was difficult for her to be young. She didn't care at all. Not only did she handle it properly,  Doing everything personally and being a kind and virtuous person, her good reputation was once again promoted, and the Zhang family was even more glorious. Half a month later, it was the birthday of the princess's mother, and all the female relatives of officials above fourth rank in Beijing came to celebrate. Empress Zhou  He also sent people to send congratulatory gifts and authorized Zhang Fengtong to return to his hometown to visit his relatives that day. Mrs. Zhang's face glowed and she went to the palace to express her gratitude.

    After they left, Nanny Lin entered the palace. Knowing that she was here to report the previous order to secretly investigate Xiao Lie's whereabouts on the night of the prince's wedding, Mrs. Zhou turned away the palace maid and eunuch.

    Nanny Lin whispered: "Ms. Qi, I checked all my people privately, and two days ago I was finally asked to find out a piece of news. It was said that a group of people had gone out from the Anding Gate in the north of the city that night. One of them was covered with a cloak.  He sat on the horse with his face covered, and could not see his face before he even touched the ground. Even the city captain on duty did not recognize his several followers. Only one of them showed his palace card and ordered the door to be opened. Looking at him, he seemed to be a young eunuch in the palace. Those few  As soon as the man left the city, he headed north and disappeared without a trace. If my prediction is correct, that man must be Long Live Lord. Because that night, Li Yuangui went to the Pei family to congratulate him, and the person serving Long Live was Cui Yinshui. The appearance of the young eunuch  Appearance, sounds exactly like Cui Yinshui."

    Zhou¡¯s brows furrowed.

    "Naturally, the few close guards around Master Wanzai are not allowed to inquire. So I went to test Cui Yinshui's tone and said that the empress knew that he had worked hard to serve Wanzai and wanted to reward him. Unexpectedly, this eunuch was extremely cunning and said that he was despicable.  , Serving Long Live is a blessing from the past life. I dare not ask for a reward from the empress. If the empress insists on a reward, then ask his godfather to accept it on his behalf. The rabbit who has cut off his descendants is as slippery as a loach. I said a few words,  I knew it, but I didn't have much hope of getting anything out of this eunuch's mouth, so I didn't dare to say it too clearly, for fear that he would turn around and report to Li Yuangui, and if Long live knew about it, it would bring trouble to the mother-in-law.  So I went back. It's all my fault, please punish me."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Mrs. Lin, seeing Mrs. Zhou's frown getting tighter, and she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in apology. She didn't listen to her for a long time, and secretly looked up, and saw her eyes staring straight ahead, as ifThe lady below led the girls who followed her and bowed to her one after another.

    Jiafu was at the front of the queue and was exempted from kneeling when she saw the Crown Princess.  Seeing her passing in front of him, Zhang Fengtong turned his head, as if he had accidentally seen Jiafu, with a smile on his face, stopped, turned around, and arrived in front of Jiafu.

    Jia Fu paid her the usual courtesy, but she excused herself and asked those who were kneeling by the road to get up. She smiled at everyone and said, "Mrs. Pei and I were old friends before. Unfortunately, we are both busy and have not been able to have close friendship. We have been  I regret that tonight is a good opportunity to have a chat with Mrs. Pei." After saying that, he took Jiafu's hand and asked her to come in with him. He then smiled at Mrs. Zhang and said: "Mother, remember to wait for the general.  Mrs. Pei's position is arranged next to me."

    Seeing that the Princess Concubine was also glamorous, and she was more envious to the gaze of Gefu.

    Jiafu declined because her position was not enough, but Zhang Fengtong sincerely invited her again. Jiafu knew she couldn't shirk it, so she smiled and thanked her.

    Entering the Shoutang banquet hall and arranging the seats, Jia Fu was indeed placed at Zhang Fengtong¡¯s table, so that she could sit in the honorable seat.  The people sitting together are either of high rank or high moral character.  Because she was the youngest, Jiafu took the first place, sitting opposite Zhang Fengtong.

    The birthday banquet is about to begin, and everyone is using their chopsticks.

    This kind of occasion was not a place for a full stomach. Jiafu had already eaten before coming out and was not hungry. At this moment, she was cautious and followed the lady of Qin Guogong who was sitting next to her with her chopsticks. She only went up to the few plates of food in front of her.  Just pinched two chopsticks.

    Zhang Fengtong said with a smile: "My mother has a birthday today, and all the elders and relatives came to congratulate me. I am very grateful. Although I am called the Crown Princess, I am actually young. In terms of seniority, I dare not express my gratitude in front of the elders. I would like to first express my gratitude to you.  Let¡¯s all toast together.¡±

    After she finished speaking, a palace servant came up with a wine flask in his hand and poured wine for the guests at the same table.  First the wine cup in front of the Crown Princess, and then in turn.

    The ladies at the same table gave way one after another.

    Jiafu glanced at the wine bottle in the palace man's hand. She glanced at it unintentionally, but her heart moved slightly.

    This wine pot has a round belly and a pointed mouth. It looks the same as an ordinary wine pot in shape, but its background color is bright yellow, a color unique to the royal family. The belly of the pot is painted with patterns of dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds. The dragons and phoenixes are lifelike and extremely exquisite.  You know, it should be a royal object in the palace.

    Jiafu always felt that this wine bottle looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. She tried hard to search for memories. The palace servant poured the wine in turn, and when she was about to turn to Jiafu, she finally thought about it.  stand up.

    The year after Xiao Yintang became emperor in his previous life, he made a concubine named Liang.  The Liang family was on the rise at that time, and they were in tit-for-tat with the Zhang family. Concubine Liang was famous for her virtue and talent. Within half a year after entering the palace, she became the concubine second only to Zhang Fengtong.  But during the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, during a banquet hosted by Zhang Fengtong for the harem and his wife, Concubine Liang got drunk. Not only did she lose her temper, she also cursed the queen crazily and took off her clothes indiscriminately. She was so ugly that she disrupted the palace at that time.  During the banquet, the news spread outside the palace, the Liang family lost all face, and Xiao Yintang was extremely disgusted with her.  However, Concubine Liang kept complaining, saying that she was framed and that she was delirious after drinking.  Xiao Yintang was also a shrewd man. After thinking about it carefully, he ordered a thorough investigation. Finally, he found out that it was a concubine named Zhu who was jealous of Concubine Liang. At the palace banquet, she bribed the palace people and used a knife made by a skilled craftsman.  The made wine pot, named Yuanyang Qiankun Pot, looks like an ordinary wine pot on the outside, but there is a hidden mechanism inside. It can be divided into two parts, and different drinks can be poured into it. Press a secret on the handle of the pot.  Button, this is the drink that comes out, and no one else is aware of it.  At that time, Concubine Liang accidentally drank the drugged wine and made a big fool of herself in public.

    After Xiao Yintang learned the truth, he ordered Concubine Zhu to be tortured, but she had already committed suicide in fear of crime in advance.  The wine bottle was later given to Jiafu by Xiao Yintang to play with to relieve her boredom.

    Kafu suddenly understood everything.

    Why did the invitation specify that she must come to the banquet with her, and why Zhang Fengtong asked her to sit at the same table.

    Jiafu looked as if nothing had happened, with a smile that she should have, watching the palace servant pour the wine for Mrs. Qin Guogong beside her, and then brought the pot to her side. Just like before, she stretched the spout to the pot in front of her.  Wine cup.

    She could see clearly that at the moment when she was pouring the wine, the palace maid¡¯s thumb pressed a small button above the handle.  The movement was so subtle that it would have been difficult to detect it if she hadn't paid careful attention.

    The golden wine was poured steadily into her wine cup.  By now, everyone at the table was full of wine. The palace attendant gently placed the wine bottle in front of Zhang Fengtong and left immediately.

    Jiafu suppressed the violent fluctuations in her heart and slowly raised her eyes. She saw Zhang Fengtong stood up and picked up the wine glass. With a smile in his eyes, he glanced at the whole table, and finally his eyes fell on his face, and said: "This glass, please toast me first."  Wei may have good weather and long life, please drink together."
