Seeing that the glass of wine had been raised to his mouth, and when I recalled the scene when Mrs. Hanyu poured wine just now, my heart sank.
The glass of wine in his hand—
At this moment, suddenly, a somewhat rapid and low voice came from outside the hall, interrupting his movements.
"Wait a moment!"
Except for the drums and music on both sides, everyone in the hall was so quiet that they ate and drank, and they did not dare to make too loud noises. This sound suddenly sounded, although not loud, but it had a deafening feeling that shocked everyone.
As soon as I heard this sound, I almost jumped out of the chair.
When I turned around, I saw a person slowly walking into the gate.
Perhaps because of the sunshine at this moment, the dazzling sunshine shone on that person, putting her whole body with a golden outline, which made people unable to see her appearance clearly. Only she could see her tall figure and upright outline. Although there was no servant behind her, she walked in alone, which gave people a feeling of forgetting the world.
My breathing was suffocated.
Everyone in the hall widened their eyes. Compared to the shock and panic when they saw Nangong Jinhong, when they saw the Supreme Lord of Chang Bai, and even when they saw the birthday party, everyone's eyes were filled with incredible expressions, especially Yang Wanyun, who was sitting in front of them, they were frozen there. Even regardless of Pei Yuanhao's existence beside them, they subconsciously stood up and flipped over the glass of wine in front of them.
His lips trembled slightly uncontrollably. After a while, he gently spit out two words from it—
"Jin Qiao..."
Yang Jinqiao!
At this moment, I felt my heart beating like a pounding, almost bursting into my chest. As the figure slowly stepped into the door, the straight and beautiful face finally came into everyone's eyes clearly.
That is Yang Jinqiao!
My hands loosened, and the wine glass that I had twisted on my fingertips fell to the ground with a "pop".
However, no one noticed me at this time, because at the same time, another loud noise sounded, and with a "clang", everyone was shocked and turned around together.
But she saw Mrs. Hanyu standing behind Yang Wanyun, with a pale face and a crying expression. She seemed to have lost consciousness. The wine pot in her hand fell to the ground and smashed it. She had no feeling at all. The wine splashed everywhere and even wet her clothes. But at this time, she had no time to care about the loss of manners in front of the emperor. Her whole body and mind fell on Yang Jinqiao at the gate.
At this moment, all the music stopped.
When the musicians saw that the eldest lady of this family came back, they dared not move. The music was whispering in unison, but they stopped suddenly. In the huge hall, Yang Jinqiao could only hear the monotonous but particularly heavy footsteps. No one spoke again. Everyone stared at her with breath and watched her slowly walk to the front of the hall and walk to Pei Yuanhao and the others.
But at this moment, I suddenly discovered something that surprised me.
Pei Yuanhao had no expression of shock at her appearance.
Even his old god was still there, and the hand holding the wine glass was as steady as a rock, without even a trace of trembling. The wine that filled the entire cup was still rippling at the mouth of the cup, and still, a drop was not sprinkled.
He was not surprised at all about Yang Jinqiao's appearance at this time. Could it be that he had known it early in the morning?
At this moment, I couldn't help thinking about it. Perhaps for today's birthday party, Yang Jinqiao was also wearing gorgeous clothes and her long robe was winding on the ground, making her every step she took seemed so heavy and extraordinary. When she walked in front of the front and stopped under the gaze of everyone, she stood in front of Pei Yuanhao.
Then, she knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Emperor!"
...
This time, there is no way to avoid it!
If Pei Yuanhao pretended to behave before, he asked everyone to accompany him to perform this "private private visit" scene, but when Yang Jinqiao knelt down and called the emperor, the window paper was pierced. As soon as she bowed to the ground, everyone around him hurriedly got up and knelt down with her.
"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The sound made the entire hall buzz.
Pei Yuanhao's face was not filled with joy or anger. He only glanced at the guests kneeling at his feet and said calmly for a while: "Let's calm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of guests in the hall stood up in unison, but none of them dared to sit down again. They all stood quietly and looked ahead carefully.
Yang Jinqiao also stood up slowly, and as soon as he stood still, he whispered to Pei Yuanhao: "Emperor, the emperor's temperament is not suitable for the rice wine. For the sake of the emperor's dragon body, please do not drink this glass of wine."
As soon as she said this, she stood behind Pei Yuanhao and looked at her, Mrs. Hanyu's face turned pale.
Pei Yuanhao looked down at the wine glass in his hand, but he seemed to be not surprised at all. He smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, you still remember my drinking habit."
"..." Yang Jinqiao didn't say anything, but just lowered his head.
"But this glass of wine is a fine wine specially prepared for me by Mrs. Hanyu."
“…”
"If I don't drink it, then what do you think I should deal with this glass of wine?"
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff.
The people around may not understand, but the few on the main table, including me, have already understood it.
There is a problem with the wine pot that Mrs. Hanyu just took out. If I guess correctly, it is a very delicate wine pot with organic skeleton inside - a two-heart pot. This kind of wine pot is exquisitely made, with two spaces for storing wine. When pouring the wine, the wine is divided into two strands. The first cup is poured out of the intestinal poison wine, but the second cup is poured out of the delicious wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The glass of wine in Pei Yuanhao's hand is-
Mrs. Hanyu, she wants to kill the emperor!
Now, Yang Jinqiao appeared at this critical moment and came forward to stop the emperor from drinking, obviously trying to destroy Mrs. Hanyu's plan. But Pei Yuanhao - because of his intrigue in the palace and ups and downs for decades, why can't he see this trick clearly? He has seen through it for a long time, so he has been silent before because he wants to see the attitudes of these people. Now, what he asked Yang Jinqiao about was not about this glass of wine, but about Mrs. Hanyu's poisoning.
Poisoning the emperor is a serious crime of regicide, and he cannot let the culprit go like this!
Yang Jinqiao looked up at him, his face seemed to be slightly pale. She was silent for a moment, regardless of how frightened Yang Wanyun next to her, and how frightened Mrs. Hanyu was. After a while, she said softly: "I will do this glass of wine for the emperor."
“…!”
My heart leaped.
Do it? Could it be that she wants-
At this moment, Yang Jinqiao had already taken a step forward and gently held the wine glass in Pei Yuanhao's hand with both hands, while Pei Yuanhao let go without hesitation and looked at her quietly.
I could see Yang Jinqiao's face was pale, biting her lower lip hard, almost all of her lips were bitten white, and her hands were slightly trembling, and the wine flowed down the wall of the cup.
Has she been employed by her surrogate mother?!
Without thinking about it, she had already held the wine glass to her mouth.
I was anxious. If it was really a glass of poisonous wine, what she had to do now was to use her own life to forgive Mrs. Hanyu and save all the people in the Yang family! But how could she die innocently? I almost subconsciously wanted to go out, but just as I was about to push the screen, Mrs. Hanyu rushed up and pushed her hand away.
"don't want!"
Suddenly, the wine glass fell to the ground and the wine splashed everywhere.
That sound, like a thunderous explosion, everyone in the hall trembled for a moment.
Yang Jinqiao was pushed by Mrs. Hanyu and almost fell to the ground. She staggered two steps before she could barely stand firm. When she raised her head to look at Mrs. Hanyu, her face turned pale: "Mother!"
Mrs. Hanyu was still shocked, but looking at the wine spilled all over the floor, Yang Jinqiao was trembling and panicked again, and could not even speak.
"Daughter, you...you, are you okay..."
“…”
Yang Jinqiao looked at her and finally shook her head slowly.
At this moment, I just felt my heart jumping out of my throat!
The hand that was holding on the screen slowly clenched at this time, but I didn't push the screen away immediately, nor did I put it down and sat back on my seat. I was sweating all over and continued to look ahead.
At this time, Yang Wanyun knelt in front of Pei Yuanhao with a pounce.
"Your Majesty forgive me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily.
Pei Yuanhao looked down at him without saying anything. When Yang Jinqiao saw this, he hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Hanyu's hand and knelt down. Then, the rest of the Yang family knelt down together and knelt at Pei Yuanhao's feet!
The scene just now was clear. Mrs. Hanyu was going to poison the monarch and Yang Jinqiao stopped this matter, but no matter what, the crime had been committed. If Pei Yuanhao wanted to pursue it, today's Yang Wanyun's birthday would be the death day for their family to destroy the family!
"The emperor forgives his crimes! The emperor forgives his crimes!"
He said, knocking his head on the ground with a thumping sound.
Pei Yuanhao slowly leaned on the back of the chair.
From the beginning to now, his face has not changed, and it is only faint at this moment. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up. The smile-like appearance and playful expression make people unable to guess what he is thinking at this moment, and they don’t know what the Yang family will face next.
I grabbed the screen's hand and was already sweating coldly.
