Fast Travel Counterattack: Male God, super awesome

Chapter 187 The Nong Empress 16
While drinking and drinking, Liu Jue seemed to realize that Lian Cheng was not suitable for such a place, but he couldn't just ask Lian Cheng to go on like this, that would be too brainless.All the officials are watching, who they favor and who they give face to are all very important.

The trend of the harem will also change accordingly, and Lian Cheng's credibility is at stake here.

Lian Cheng knew it was her fault, but she didn't know what to do.At this time, she really realized the difference between the big family girls and the country girls. The girls of the big families seem to be born to do this kind of thing.

Not to mention that Lian Cheng has also been a lot of people of high status.But that kind of nobility is not this kind of nobility.That kind of innate nobility does not need to be proven or fought for with anything. For example, when she was a princess, she would do whatever she pleased. If she was unhappy, she could leave many things to others to do. No one would dare. what to say about her.

But things are different now.Everything she can't do is shown in the eyes of outsiders, making her even more despised.

Lian Cheng felt that this was the sadness of being a human being.Human beings are born into high and low ranks. People of lower ranks need to pay too much price if they want to be in the upper ranks, and they still won't be recognized by people of the same class.

People like her, and even Concubine Yu, are low-level people in this vast and deep palace.They have to pay too much if they want to become queens.

Even the current master of the world, Liu Jue, once wanted to be the emperor and nearly died several times, but now the throne is not stable, and there are still many people who want to pull him down.

Lian Cheng felt that she was not suitable for this place and wanted to leave.But she promised to stay with Liu Jue for the rest of her life, at least until her death.What's more, she was worried about leaving Liu Jue alone in this deep palace of loneliness and crisis.

Nowadays, she can feel confident about buying Xiaohua, but she can't worry about buying Liujue.

Another song and dance performance started, but in the middle of the performance, a palace official fell down from the swirling crowd and hit the stage hard!
Everyone on the field was in chaos, and Lian Cheng saw blood flowing from the back of the palace man's head.

Her first reaction was to go and check by herself, after all, Lian Cheng was used to doing things by herself.But not this time.No matter what her identity is, she can't move around at will.

Just as Lian Cheng was about to order his servants, Concubine Yu who was on the side raised her head quickly and said: "Go and see what's wrong with him!"

At this time, even a one-second reaction is very important.The palace people immediately obeyed Concubine Yu's orders, and the contest between the ladies and wives on the field was decided!

A few guards walked up to the dancer who fell down in the middle of the performance, stretched out their hands to touch the back of the neck, and reported: "Report to the Holy Majesty, Your Majesty. I have passed away."

A homicide occurred at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which had a great impact on the emperor's prestige.What's more, Liu Jue's throne is not secure at all.Concubine Yu was the first to stand up and said: "Strictly investigate!"

"Why did it suddenly happen? Didn't you rehearse well before?"

"What's wrong with this dancing girl?"

At this time, the dancer who performed with her stood up and said, "Report to the emperor, just now, when Xiaoying and I were dancing together, I really felt that she was not normal!"

"What's abnormal?" Liu Jue asked.

"That's right, she said before she came on stage that she felt a little dizzy and couldn't stand firmly..."

Liu Jue also heard the question: "When did it start?"

"About a while before going on stage..."

"Did you eat anything during this time?" Liu Jue asked.

"I have eaten... I have eaten the tea distributed to the dancing girls, nothing else." The dancing girl said cautiously.

Hearing this, even Cheng felt a little uncomfortable.

"Everyone drank the tea, why is she the only one who has something to do?" Concubine Yu summoned the palace servants, "Go and check the tea and the dancing girl's teacup."

During the investigation, the guards quickly carried down the dancer's body and cleaned up the blood.But it still brought a glimmer of gloom to the successful Mid-Autumn Festival feast.

Liu Jue's expression on the stage was also very dark. Even if he took care of everything, the affairs in the harem were not his business.Compared to Lian Cheng, who was still confused, Liu Jue was already keenly aware of something, and along with it came the boredom of seeing such things.

There is also a tinge of worry.

The concubines in the audience have begun to whisper: "Who is responsible for this dance?"

"I heard that Concubine Yan is in charge of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

"If something like this happens, will His Majesty neglect her?"

"Then who knows, how can you and I guess His Majesty's mind."

"Concubine Yan dotes on the crown of the harem, and His Majesty often goes to her. But in my opinion, she is just a country woman, petty. It's not as good as Concubine Yu who is safe in everything and understands the general situation."

"That's true. I heard that both she and the Concubine Mistress have contributed to His Majesty, and Concubine Yan has even saved her, so His Majesty gave her face like that!"

"What are you talking about! It's too insidious to ask for favor with merit!"

"So people from the countryside are..."

Lian Cheng's ear is good, able to take everyone's words into his heart, Liu Jue put down the teacup heavily, and the whispering stopped.

To be honest, Lian Cheng felt tired for Liu Jue just looking at him.Even if there is no matter of husband and wife, the harem plus the front court are not something ordinary people can take over.

Sure enough, the emperor still needs capable people to do it.Why fight if you don't have the skills.

But Liu Jue, who won the battle and was able to quickly stabilize the previous dynasty, is undoubtedly one of the capable group.Not to mention leaving a name through the ages, but the reputation is definitely not bad.

It shouldn't be stained by the harem incident.

After a while, the guards behind came forward and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we have found it."

"Only the cup that the dancing girl used has the medicine left."

"What kind of medicine?" Liu Jue asked, and the officials were in an uproar.No matter what kind of medicine it is, it basically constitutes murder.

It was found to be a drug that can paralyze the limbs.

"My subordinates found out that this kind of tea was sent by the maid next to Concubine Yan." The guard nodded.

Excellent...

even orange...

"Who?" Lian Cheng finally said her first words since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

"Chrysanthemum fragrance."

Ju Xiang is the best maid around Lian Cheng.After hearing this, Lian Cheng looked up at her in shock, but found that there was no trace of surprise on Ju Xiang's face.

On the contrary, there was a kind of relieved determination.

Juxiang lowered her head and knelt down: "Everything is my own opinion and has nothing to do with Yanfei!"

Lian Cheng... Well, although I know you are kind, why do I always have the illusion that there is no 300 taels of silver here.

Concubine Yu next to her laughed out of embarrassment.

"You have been wronged by such servants, sister." Concubine Yu smiled, sliding her fingers on the table unconsciously.

Lian Cheng cast his eyes on Concubine Yu, and turned his eyes back after a long time.

Juxiang was still crying and beckoning at the other end: "That woman was my neighbor before I entered the palace. She stole other people's things and slandered my parents. Not to mention, she made my father angry and ill. He was in poor health. Very I've gone a long time ago... My mother can't support a family by herself, so I sold myself as a slave..."
