Chapter 334 The two most suspicious people
Feiyu Palace.
Hongdou came back quickly. She went under the flower stand where Huangye was hiding and quietly put her mouth close to Huangye's ear.
"Sister Qiuyan said that the room is filled with wine for lunch today. The wine was moved from the palace's wine cellar this morning."
"Sister Qiuyan was afraid of something happening, so she locked the wine in this room in the side yard. She even added two locks for safety reasons. Is she still holding the key?"
Hongdou was also confused. Since the door was locked so tightly, then the figure on the window they saw just now might have been due to dazzlement.
Huang Ye wanted to knock this girl on the head a few times. If she couldn't get through the door, there was still a window. Hongdou had become stupid, what should she do?
Hongdou also thought of this, and she smiled awkwardly.
"I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't let Sister Qiuyan come over. She was very anxious and asked me what to do."
Huang Ye pondered, it was obvious that someone wanted to ruin today's family reunion banquet.
This person went to the room where the drinks were kept, he must have gone to cause trouble. Now is the time to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods.
"Go call Du Fei and Qiu Yan over here, and be careful not to alarm others."
Hongdou agreed and slipped out again. After a while, Du Fei and Qiuyan came over.
And behind them were two sturdy maids.
It turned out that Hongdou told Qiuyan about what happened in the side hall. Qiuyan was afraid that she could not cover it up, so she hurried to find Concubine Du.
When Concubine Du heard this, she was naturally anxious and angry. She was very annoyed. When Hongdou came over and shouted, she immediately brought people over.
She wanted to take a good look and see who was so desperate as to make trouble in front of her.
Hongdou was smart this time. Without Huang Ye's instructions, she had already rushed behind the window at the back of the room to prevent the man from running away.
Concubine Du brought her people to the door. Qiuyan unlocked the door, and two maids walked in front and rushed into the room at once.
"Eunuch Hu, why is it you?"
Qiuyan exclaimed and rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She was not mistaken. It was really Eunuch Hu, the chief eunuch of their Feiyu Palace.
When Eunuch Hu heard the door lock click, he knew he was finished.
He wanted to escape through the window at the back, but the window was tightly closed from the outside and he couldn't push it open, so he had to surrender.
"Eunuch Hu, you are so brave, who ordered you to do that?"
Looking at the syringe-like objects scattered on the ground, it was clear to everyone that he was poisoning the wine.
Looking at the people in the room and the angry Concubine Du, Manager Huang smiled bitterly.
He knew the consequences of being exposed. He had plotted to murder the emperor and the concubines in the harem, so even if he died a hundred times, it would not be too much.
He didn't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment, so he had no choice but to die early...
"No, there's poison in his mouth."
Huang Ye saw Eunuch Hu suddenly clench his teeth, she rushed over quickly, but was still a step too late.
Eunuch Hu crushed the poison hidden in his teeth and it was beyond saving.
Du Fei and the others had never seen anything like this before. They were so frightened to see a living person die in front of them in an instant that they were stunned for a moment.
Huang Ye no longer cared about Eunuch Hu's body. She picked up the syringe thrown on the ground and sniffed it carefully.
Ok…
It was pretty much as she imagined.
Those who want to cause trouble would certainly not dare to cause death. This croton is just right, it only causes diarrhea to those present.
But this was enough to make the emperor angry.
"What to do? What to do now?"
Princess Du was at a loss for a moment. Even though she was usually experienced, she was still very nervous when faced with such a matter of life and death.
Huang Ye took her hand and patted it to calm her down.
"Don't be afraid, this is just a diarrhea drug. The person who planned this wouldn't dare to cause any loss of life."
"This wine is unusable. You should quickly send someone to the wine cellar to get some more wine."
Seeing Huang Ye's calm look, Du Fei suddenly felt less panicked. She signaled Qiuyan, and Qiuyan hurried out.
"Lock this door first, send someone you trust to hide, and see if anyone comes to investigate."
Huang Ye pulled Du Fei out.
"Don't worry about that for now. Business is more important. There are so many people in the front yard that you need to entertain."
Princess Du nodded. The more someone wanted to harm her, the more she had to remain calm.
No rush... She will take revenge for today's grudge.
A maid was left behind to look after the room, while Huang Ye and the others walked towards the front yard, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
I have to say that this palace is much larger than Huang Ye’s Ningyuxuan.
No wonder everyone in the harem wants to climb up. Just looking at this residence makes me feel comfortable.
Near noon, the emperor came carrying the eldest princess, and the concubines all stood up to greet him.
Normally, on such an important day today, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Retired should have come to congratulate, but isn’t the Empress Dowager under house arrest?
The emperor…wasn’t the emperor still sad? That’s why he didn’t come.
However, Eunuch Ai sent the gift in advance, which is a thoughtful gesture.
The emperor raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up, then he carried the eldest princess to Concubine Du and solemnly handed the eldest princess to Concubine Du.
"From today on, you are Ting'er's mother. I hope you can live up to my trust and raise this child to adulthood."
Concubine Du took the eldest princess and held her tightly in her arms. Although her face was covered with tears, her expression was clearly excited.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live up to your trust and treat the princess as my own."
The eldest princess took out her handkerchief to wipe Concubine Du’s tears.
"Don't cry, mother. Ting'er will be obedient."
The eldest princess's call of "mother" made Concubine Du burst into tears. For a moment, those who were soft-hearted cried with her.
"Alright, alright, just cry a few times for your own good intentions."
Huang Ye joked.
"Sister Du, are you afraid that we sisters will eat you too much at noon, so you deliberately make us sad and unable to eat?"
"You naughty monkey."
Concubine Du burst into laughter, and the others followed suit.
The atmosphere finally became lively, and Qiuyan started to arrange for the banquet. There were not many people, only three tables.
Huang Ye was naturally sitting at the same table with Concubine Lin and Lady Gao.
After all the dishes were served, the emperor picked up his chopsticks, and everyone followed suit and started eating.
Huang Ye focused her attention on observing Lin Jieyu, who was sitting at the same table with her, and Shi Yaoyao, who was sitting at the next table. These two people were the ones she was most suspicious of.
As for Xu Rou, she doesn't have the ability to plot against Feiyu Palace.
Even if Shi Yaoyao had any plans, she would probably hide them from this idiot, for fear that she would ruin things out of impulse.
Shi Yaoyao next door saw Huang Ye looking at her, she turned her eyes away without leaving a trace, picked up the wine bowl in front of her and took a sip.
Now the gap between her status and that of Concubine Ye is getting wider and wider. It would be better not to cause trouble at this time.
Seeing Shi Yaoyao swallow the wine, Huang Ye stopped looking at her. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with Shi Yaoyao.
