Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 423
The night banquet in the palace is still held in Yulu Pond!

The Yingying pool water reflects the colorful palace lanterns, and the vivid white waves like night stars add a bit of color to the atmosphere of the banquet!

However, this lively night banquet does not seem to need such superfluous beauty to embellish it!

Today is for Nanzhao's princess, and to show the sincerity of the state of Chu, I specially invited all the ministers to a banquet.

Everyone knew that the princess would soon be crowned a concubine, so there was an atmosphere that the wedding banquet was approaching!

Although the current Eastern Chu has a strong military force, it has many shortcomings in other aspects. It is a wise move to unite with Nanzhao!
During the meeting, everyone said that Princess Yinghuan was very beautiful, and she and the emperor were considered a good couple.And the precious concubine who was sitting in the high position kept her face condensed, as if she was giving someone a look, and she was very ignorant of the general situation.

Of course, the latter sentence is what everyone thinks but no one dares to say it!After all, with the favor of the precious concubine in front of the emperor, they don't want to die too early.

Lin Zijiang originally planned to destroy the plate of poisoned soup, but she couldn't find a chance to get close, so she had to rely on the cover of the third son to sneak in among the attendants at the banquet.

Ayi also mixed in, she pretended to be a court lady and stood behind where the concubines were sitting, and Lin Zijiang lined up obliquely behind her!Fortunately, at night, as long as she was not standing under the palace lantern, no one would notice her eyes.

Lin Zijiang has been carefully observing the situation on Chuyue's side, but he doesn't dare to look too much, for fear that he will find out if he looks too much.

However, Chu Yue still found her!

His deep eyes were raised for a moment, and he didn't look directly at Lin Zijiang, but she knew that he must be able to see her in the corner of her eye.Because that man is very cautious and suspicious!
He clenched his fist nervously, but Chu Yue looked away immediately, and picked up the wine glass in front of him as usual.

Lin Zijiang was puzzled, wouldn't he expose it?Disdain?or what?

Seeing Chu Yue's movements, Concubine Guigui hurriedly raised her glass to him: "Your Majesty, this concubine respects you!"

Hearing this, Chu Yue raised the wine glass and returned to her before finishing the wine in one gulp.In the spicy room at the entrance, he slanted his eyes intentionally or unintentionally.

Because there is no queen, the position of the noble concubine Zhenfei is the highest!Concubine Yin is in the front row!
Concubine Yin subconsciously snorted when she saw her actions.

The banquet officially started. When Lin Zijiang was the princess of Yue, she also participated in many such banquets, but she and Chu Yue didn't like such occasions at that time. Buried in his own little world.

But now that time has passed, that person can already sit on the main seat and speak freely, controlling the whole scene!

A variety of delicacies from mountains and seas were presented, including the scattered gold and jade soup in the blue soup cup!

The loose gold refers to the gold leaf dotted on the soup, and the broken jade is just for the sake of the name. The seemingly crystal white and thick soup is actually made of a mixture of several poisonous things such as snake belly and poisonous scorpion tail!This is the medicinal diet that Chu Yue eats every day!It's poisonous soup, and it's also a tonic!

That's why, only this soup can be presented without passing the test of the silver needle!

Sitting next to Chu Yue, precious concubine subconsciously covered her nose with a handkerchief as soon as she saw the scattered gold and broken jade soup!She had seen how this soup was made, and she was so disgusted that she couldn't even eat after returning home, and she didn't know why the emperor would eat such a poison?

Eunuch Li leaned over and poured the soup into a gold-encrusted porcelain bowl, and offered it to the emperor with both hands, and everyone followed suit and started to move their chopsticks!
Chu Yue picked up the jade spoon with his right hand, and suddenly there was a commotion in front of him!
It was Lin Zijiang who rushed out!

She originally wanted to stop him from eating the poisonous soup, but Jiang Cheng caught him as soon as he ran in front of him!
Also because it was Jiang Cheng, he just used his sword to stop her from going forward, and didn't hurt her at all!

Looking up at her, Chu Yue paused slightly with his right hand, and said in a tone that couldn't hear the emotion: "Take her down!"

"and many more!"

It was Concubine Guizhen who said this, she looked up at Lin Zijiang, doubt and surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Huh? Aren't you grounded? So you will appear here and dress up as a court lady?"

Lin Zijiang didn't care what the woman said at all, she just stared at Chu Yue closely with a pair of complicated purple eyes, trying to remind him not to drink with her eyes, but the other party refused to meet her eyes at all, but Listen to Concubine Zhen's words.

"Your majesty, she broke into the banquet without permission during the confinement period, and even dressed up as a court lady. She must be plotting something wrong! Maybe...she was sent by Loulan to assassinate! How does the emperor plan to deal with it?"

As soon as Concubine Zhen said this, it immediately caused an uproar among the civil and military officials present.She just wanted this effect. On such an occasion, Chu Yue would definitely punish this woman severely.

But he didn't want to, Chu Yue still only ordered lightly: "Put her down first!"

Hearing that, all the ministers were a little bit skeptical. Generally, at such a banquet, if someone made a mistake, they would be executed as an assassin or severely tortured!

Concubine Zhen's eyes were even more shocked and dissatisfied. The emperor only said that the prison would be held, but he didn't even say where it was held, which meant that it was not a prison. When did he become so compassionate?

And the man never raised his eyes, he didn't seem to pay attention to the woman who rushed out and everyone's discussion, with calm eyes, he scooped up the soup with a jade spoon and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Zijiang didn't care about anything anymore, let Jiang Cheng's sword cut her arm, and rushed to Chu Yue to grab the bowl from him.

Amid the sound of Concubine Gui yelling for someone to arrest her, he poured the contents of the bowl into his own mouth.

Maybe, she could just throw away this bowl of soup, but she still chose to test the poison with herself.

Disturbing such an important banquet, probably can't escape the word 'death'!She couldn't speak. If Chu Yue didn't find out that there was poison in her by this method, how could she make Chu Yue strengthen her defenses?
However, the most important reason is that she is gambling with her life!I want to see if I can get a little sincerity for him by doing so for him!
She has been passive for too long, and has been abused by Chu Yue's indifference for too long... Tired of such a relationship between the two of them, she doesn't want to procrastinate any longer, so she can only force an ending in this way!maybe...a relief

Death is really nothing to her?
There was still the roaring voice of precious concubine next to her ear, so people quickly took her down, dragged her down, and said that she should be punished for offending the emperor!

Lin Zijiang just stood there, looking at Chu Yue, when she felt someone holding her arm from behind, a fishy and sweet smell rushed up her throat.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood stained the table of delicious food on a silver plate and jade. She heard a scream from the side, not for her, but because she realized that the food was poisonous.

There was another commotion, and the person who was supposed to escort her down let go, and Lin Zijiang slumped on the ground. She saw that the dinner party was in chaos.

It was Ayi who saw that the matter was revealed, and took out his dagger to assassinate Chu Yue!

Someone screamed, someone wailed, someone stepped on her who fell to the ground and couldn't straighten up because of abdominal cramps!
Lin Zijiang is like an object discarded by someone, left in such an obvious place, but does not receive any sympathy from passers-by.

Persevere until Ayi is subdued, and her vision begins to blur!It was so blurry... She could only see that mass of bright yellow color, but she couldn't see Yue's face clearly!

She thought, maybe it would be good to end like this!

Everything in the past can be regarded as a dream!She doesn't need to see what he looks like now, she still likes him better than before!
Before she dies... she can still recall their best moments!
On New Year's Eve, when it snowed heavily, she was in the most beautiful garden full of flowers, wearing the most holy wedding dress, and married the person she loved the most...
