The little eunuch took Li Linhuai all the way into the garden, turned around and stopped at the door of an attic.
The sound of silk and bamboo pipe music could be heard faintly from deep in the garden. Li Linhuai couldn't help but frown and stop, looking at the little eunuch.
The little eunuch hurriedly explained: "Although your Majesty has sent you to serve as an errand to the little princess, today the Chongyang Concubine Shu is hosting a banquet for the female family members. It is not convenient to take you to the Qushui Shang Banquet."
"My lord, please wait in the attic here. The maid next to our Empress Jieyu will bring the little princess here soon..."
At the Qushui River Drinking Banquet, after Ji'an accompanied Princess Yongmu to change clothes, Concubine Shu suggested reciting poems and drinking orders accompanied by drumming.
In this way, the meandering water drinking banquet adds a bit of fun.
When she became interested, Concubine Shu even took off the bracelet on her hand as a bargaining chip.
Li Sixu's imperial sisters and the princesses and county heads who came to the palace for the banquet were having so much fun that they forgot that Ji'an accompanied Yongmu to change clothes and did not return to the Qushui River Banquet for a while.
As soon as the drumming stopped, the bamboo plate holding the wine bottle stopped in front of Li Sixu.
Li Sixu stood up and said, "Sister Mu went to change clothes, why haven't you come back for so long?"
Liu Jieyu also felt that the attic was not far from the meandering water where the banquet was held. Why did her Mu'er change her clothes and not come back for so long?
Because she was going with Ji'an, she was a little worried.
"Sister Liu, after Mu'er left for such a short time, the tenth princess actually talked about her? She and Mu'er really hit it off."
Concubine Shu smiled charmingly: "It doesn't matter if the tenth princess doesn't know how to recite chrysanthemum appreciation poems. I'll be fined with a glass of wine."
Li Sixu saw Liu Jieyu's worries in her eyes.
She asked Concubine Shu: "Can Sisi go to Sister Mu after reciting a poem about chrysanthemum appreciation?"
Concubine Shu felt that the time was almost up, so it would be fun to let the kid break it first!
After walking so far in the winding river drinking banquet, I have almost recited the poems about chrysanthemum appreciation in the past dynasties, but I am just a child, and the little monster in front of me cannot compose poems.
Concubine Shu looked like she was watching a good show, waiting for Li Sixu to make a fool of herself.
Li Sixu spoke in a soft voice: "When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom."
There is no mention of chrysanthemums in these two sentences, and everyone can tell that they are chanting chrysanthemums. The ladies of the Purple Orchid Palace and the female family members who went to the palace for the banquet felt that this poem contained a vague murderous aura.
While everyone was waiting for the next sentence, Li Sixu recited the last two sentences of Huang Chao's poem with slight changes.
"The incense array reaches the sky and flows through the cup, and the garden is filled with golden armor."
The last two lines were recited, and they were mixed with a fierce murderous aura. The female relatives who were enjoying the banquet in the winding water were still surprised. The tenth princess at such a young age actually recited such lines?
And this poem seems like I have never heard it before!
They were still immersed in the artistic conception of Li Sixu's poem, and wanted to ask whose hand such a masterpiece came from, but Li Sixu had already run away with her short legs.
After all, Liu Jieyu was worried about Princess Mu. Although she was always talented, she couldn't think of a good poem when she saw Li Sixu running away in a hurry.
"Mu'er has indeed been gone for a long time."
Liu Jieyu stood up and said, "Mother, I will follow the tenth princess to see what's going on."
"I had a great time today at the Qu Liu Shui Shang Banquet. I ate a lot of snacks, so why don't you go for a walk with your sister to eat?"
In addition to Princess Yue'er and Princess Chang who were very playful, as soon as Concubine Shu got up, the ladies of the Purple Orchid Palace also said that they wanted to eat. The group of people walked and chatted, admiring the chrysanthemums along the verandah and heading to the attic.
Liu Jieyu felt more and more something was wrong!
She regretted it so much!
Knowing Ji An's methods and conduct, how could she agree to let her accompany the innocent Mu'er to change clothes?
Ji An spilled wine on Mu'er, was he really taking revenge on Mu'er?
Could it be that spilling the wine was just an inducement to let Mu'er go to the attic to change clothes, and that she fell into a pit dug by a sinister and sinister person?
Liu Jieyu, who finally understood it, looked horrified!
All she was thinking about was that her Mu'er was about to leave the palace for a wedding. At this critical moment, nothing could go wrong.
But sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, exactly what comes.
She walked all the way to the attic with her heart in doubt. Just as she turned around the verandah near the attic, she heard the sound of things falling to the ground inside.
Liu Jieyu almost collapsed, standing at the door of the attic with her feet trembling.
"What's wrong with Mu'er?"
Concubine Shu said anxiously: "Hurry and open the door for me!"
"don't want……"
Liu Jieyu wanted to speak out to stop her, but it was too late. The maid next to Concubine Shu slammed the door hard, and the door opened, revealing her half-undressed and rolled-up shadow.
Such a scene made Liu Jieyu's blood freeze!
The entrance to the attic was very lively, probably because the scene inside was so shocking that some people even screamed and lost their voices.
Li Sixu took Princess Mu and hid in the flower garden not far from the attic. Thinking of what it would mean if the person in the attic today was her, Princess Mu couldn't help but tremble violently.
"How vicious! How can you be so vicious?"
Princess Mu asked Li Sixu: "Royal sister, what on earth is going on?"
"Ji'an had medicinal powder hidden under her fingernails. When toasting to Sister Mu, she dipped her fingernails into a glass of chrysanthemum wine, and then deliberately spilled the wine on Sister Mu."
"Sisi saw through her plan and saw her adding medicine to the wine with her own eyes, so she knocked her away while protecting Sister Mu and wiped the wine stains with Sister Mu's handkerchief dipped in the antidote."
"It's okay if you just sprinkle this drug on your body, but if it hits the incense burning in the attic, the smell is equivalent to inhaling a very powerful drug."
Li Sixu explained: "Sister Mu used the antidote given by Sisi. It was fine when she went into the attic and smelled the burning incense. However, there was still medicine powder stuck between Ji'an's fingernails."
"Cleverness leads to mistakes!"
"Therefore, she was betrayed by her own vicious plan!"
Seeing Princess Yongmu's frightened look, Li Sixu didn't even dare to tell her that in fact, the remaining medicinal powder in Ji'an's fingernails would have no effect at all unless it was exposed to water.
It was when she bumped into Ji'an that some good stuff was put on her body, which could also create a scent-inducing effect with the burning incense.
This is to treat others in their own way!
Also, Eunuch Bao, who was hanging out with Ji'an, was actually the mastermind who helped Concubine Shu arrange the plot in the dark, and was also attracted by the drug that was administered to Ji'an.
After all, after the parrot incident, she hid in the darkness of Qingfeng Palace, but she poisoned the canary that died with a bamboo stick.
It just so happened that the medicine she gave Ji'an today could activate the poison hidden in Eunuch Bao's body, causing him to go crazy and unable to control his desire.
Her royal sister is so innocent after all!
Li Sixu therefore hid her merit and fame and did not tell her sister Mu about her step-by-step plan to counterattack.
Princess Yongmu was really frightened by such a vicious plan, and her mind couldn't turn around for a while.
"Then why did Mr. Li, who was sent by the emperor to protect the emperor's sister, appear in the attic?"
