Chapter 645 Imprisoned

   When the queen turned her head, she also saw the man beside her.

   His eyes fell on Xuanyuan Junyi's face, he was a little crazy.

  She and Xuanyuan Junyi were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.

  Chen Peiqing thinks she is the woman who knows Xuanyuan Junyi best in the world.

  But I have never seen him like this.

   Xuanyuan Junyi was not his current character before.

   They also had a really good time.

   But now...

  In these years, she has worked hard to be a good queen. Although he has three thousand harems, she is still tolerant and magnanimous, and her mother respects the world.

   Only one thing.

  She thought that as long as she was like this, Xuanyuan Junyi could change his mind.

   But no.

   There is only respect between them, and there is no love anymore.

   Xuanyuan Junyi's temper became more and more irritable.

   Until this time, the saint appeared.

  She had never seen Xuanyuan Junyi be so gentle to a person.

   Even his personality is much milder.

  His anorexia and arrhythmia have also improved a lot.

  As a woman, she can also see Xuanyuan Junyi's thoughts.

  So not long ago, she mentioned to Xuanyuan Junyi that she would bring the saint into the harem.

  But Xuanyuan Junyi refused at that time.

  He said a word, which she will never forget.

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "Saints are not ordinary people, they can be seen from a distance but not played with."

  At that time, the Queen's heart seemed to be pierced by something.

  Only true love, you can't bear to profane.

  The queen turned around and her eyes fell on the woman on the stage.

  She is called a saint, and no one knows where she came from.

  But she really seems to have a kind of magical power.

  Why can she smile so presumptuously and brilliantly.

  Like azaleas blooming in the wind, free and easy.

  At this moment, she was actually somewhat envious.

  Concubine Liu Gui looked at the people on the stage, but her fingers trembled in anger.

   Can't help but spit out: "What is this jumping thing? It's outlandish and out of place."

   But her words were drowned in a piece of cheerful music, no one cared at all.

  Finally, the dance is over.

   Music stops.

  Li Beibei retreated with the maid who accompanied the dancer.

   Everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow her.

   When she was about to step off the stage.

  Suddenly all the lights on the stage and in the garden went out.

  The entire banquet hall became pitch black.

  There was a sudden commotion in the imperial garden.

  The queen said beside her: "Wei Feng, escort."

  But at this moment, the happy birthday song just now sounded again.

  The stage also lights up.

  Everyone saw the saint walking onto the stage holding an unknown object.

  The thing in the arms of the saint looks like a pagoda, but it looks very beautiful.

  There is also a dragon coiled on the pagoda, which is lifelike and superb.

   There are a few very thin candles stuck on it, which are burning at the moment.

  The entire imperial garden is only lit here.

  Li Beibei walked off the stage slowly, approaching Xuanyuan Junyi with the birthday cake in his arms.

  When he was about to walk in front of Xuanyuan Junyi, the queen suddenly said, "Saint, what are you holding? It's such an open fire, don't hurt your majesty."

   Xuanyuan Junyi stretched out his hand to silence the queen.

   Then she looked at Li Beibei with a smile: "Come here."

  Li Beibei walked up the steps holding the birthday cake.

   Walked all the way to Xuanyuan Junyi.

  Li Beibei said, "This is my birthday gift to the emperor."

   Xuanyuan Junyi looked very interested: "What is this?"

  Li Beibei said: "This is a birthday cake. In my hometown, birthday cakes are always eaten on birthdays."

   Xuanyuan Junyi said briskly: "Then give me a taste."

  Li Beibei said: "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, according to our custom, you need to blow out the windshield first, and then force your eyes to make a wish, and your wish will come true."

  Xuanyuan Junyi followed Li Beibei's wishes, blew out the hold, and forced his eyes to make a wish.

  After Xuanyuan Junyi made his wish, all the palace lanterns in the imperial garden were lit again.

  At this time, everyone really saw what Li Beibei was holding.

  This thing has a special fragrance.

  The air is sweet.

   And the upper layer is carved with a dragon with unknown material.

   The rest are decorated with various fruits.

   It's like I've never seen it before.

  Li Beibei said: "Your Majesty, take a sip and see if it tastes good."

   After speaking, Li Beibei put the cake on the table, cut a piece and handed it over on a small plate.

  The emperor wanted to eat it, but the queen stopped him: "Your majesty, I don't know what is on it. The emperor's dragon body is the most important thing, so it's better to be cautious."

   Concubine Liu Gui also rarely chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, what is your free stuff? We have never seen it before. Can we eat it?"

Li Beibei said: "This thing is called cream. It is made of milk, eggs, sugar, and corn oil. When these four things are mixed together, they will become like this after a quick whipping, forming a A special flavor."

   Before Li Beibei finished speaking, Xuanyuan Junyi had already taken a bite of cream.

   Then he said with admiration: "I have never eaten such a delicious thing."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Beibei, and said, "The saint's gift is the most suitable for me, thank you!"

  The queen said on the side: "The saint is worthy of being a daughter given by heaven. It is our Donghua's blessing to get the sacred heart. Since this food is so delicious, can I also reward my concubine with a bite?"

  The emperor said: "The queen is the mother of a country, so I can naturally share everything with the queen."

   After speaking, he ordered Zhang Shengquan to also cut a piece for the queen.

  Next is the fireworks show arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

  The Longevity Banquet came to an end amidst the splendid fireworks in the sky.

   When Li Beibei returned to Xianzi Tower, it was already very late.

  When lying on the bed, I was also very tired.

   soon fell asleep.

   But not for long.

  Li Beibei heard a noise outside.

   Xing'er rushed in after a while.

   Xing'er said: "Something happened to the saint, and people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested everyone."

   Li Beibei sat up suddenly from the bed.

   Looking out the window, it’s still dark.

   It was Zhao Zhongyi, the chief **** in the Queen's Palace, who took the lead in entering.

  After entering the door, he pointed at Li Beibei's nose and cursed: "Bold witch, dare to murder the emperor and queen, and put this witch in prison, waiting to be punished."

   Before Li Beibei could figure out what was going on, a group of people grabbed his arm.

   Originally, she could resist.

   But Li Beibei knew that there was no escape from the mighty group of iron guards outside.

  In addition, there are sixteen servant girls and one **** in the entire Xianzi Building, all of whom are under custody.

   Before he figured out what happened, it was impossible for Li Beibei to escape.

  So Li Beibei and everyone in Xianzilou were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

  Li Beibei is in a separate cell.

  The rest were locked together.

  Li Beibei couldn't see them at all, and didn't know what was going on.

  Li Beibei knocked on the fence of the prison room and shouted: "Is there anyone, come alive! Who can tell me what happened?"

  Li Beibei yelled for a long time, but no one paid any attention.

  Li Beibei could only sit inside and wait.

  It is already early winter.

   It was dark and cold in this cell.

  When Li Beibei was caught, he was only wearing a thin piece of clothing.

  Li Beibei sat on the ground shivering.

  Looking at the four high walls, Li Beibei felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

   Traveling through time is really fantastic.

  The saint who lived in the palace a second ago has now become a prisoner.

  And Li Beibei didn't know the reason at all.

   Until the next morning.

   Finally came two jailers.

  One of the jailers threw a bowl of rice into it, like feeding a dog: "It's time to eat."

  The bowl looked like it was full of leftovers.

   Another jailer next to him said: "This is a saint, please be polite."

  The jailer sneered: "What saint, she has become a witch now. Murdering the emperor and queen is such a serious crime, you think she can still live."

  The jailer glanced inside, touched his chin, and showed a wretched look.

   "It's a pity to be so beautiful. You think this saint is a good fit? Or..."

  The jailer quickly said: "You dare to think about it, and you are not afraid of losing your head."

   And at this moment, footsteps came from outside.

  The two jailers turned around and immediately changed into clothes and running dogs: "It's Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Zhao came to us in person, what's your order?"

   Eunuch Zhao said: "The empress summoned the prisoner and took him away."

  Li Beibei was taken away by two young eunuchs brought by Eunuch Zhao.

   Along the way, Eunuch Zhao was giving her the top ten tortures of the Ministry of Popular Science and Criminal Justice.

  But when Li Beibei asked Eunuch Zhao what happened.

   Eunuch Zhao only said: "When you meet the Empress, you will know everything."

  Li Beibei was taken directly to Fengxi Palace where the queen lived.

   When Li Beibei went in, she found the queen lying on the bed.

   Outside the veil is the imperial doctor who is treating her.

  After taking the pulse, the imperial doctor got up, bowed his head and said: "The toxin in the empress's body is almost cleared, as long as you rest in peace, there should be no serious problems."

  The queen quickly asked: "How is the emperor's body?"

  The imperial doctor said: "The emperor has not yet woken up, but I have already cleared the poison for the emperor. After an hour at most, the emperor will be able to wake up. Just like the empress, the emperor only needs to rest for a while to recover."

  The queen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, you can go down."

  The imperial doctor nodded and stepped back.

   Zhao Zhongyi stepped forward and said, "Empress, the witch has been brought here."

  The queen got up and sat up, and opened the veil.

  Zhao Zhongyi saw Li Beibei standing there motionless, and snapped: "Bold witch, kneel down and salute quickly when you see the empress."

   Li Beibei still stood still.

  She has no habit of saluting.

   Xuanyuan Junyi issued a decree before, exempting her from all the rules in the palace.

  So even when she met the queen, she never saluted.

  Seeing that he was not moving, Zhao Zhongyi reached out and slapped Li Beibei when he came over, wanting to teach her a lesson.

   But Li Beibei grabbed his arm.

   Li Beibei exerted force on his hand, and Zhao Zhongyi's arm was dislocated.

  Zhao Zhongyi shook his arms and said tremblingly: "Bold demon girl, you are so courageous, you dare to strike in front of the empress..."

   "I found it, Zhongyi, you go out first, I have something to say to the saint."

  Zhao Zhongyi said: "Ma'am, I don't worry about you being alone in there. This demon girl is strong in martial arts and can do spells. Let Chen Ping and Chen Kai come in to protect Madam."

  Chen Peiqing said: "No need, I know it well, you wait outside the door."

  The queen has given the order.

  Zhao Zhongyi can only go out.

   When he went out, he closed the door of the room.

  Li Beibei frowned from beginning to end.

   At this time, he finally asked: "Why did you arrest me, why did you say that I murdered the emperor and empress?"

The Empress said: "Yesterday, I ate your birthday cake with Your Majesty, and I felt very unwell after returning. In the middle of the night, both of us vomited and had a high fever, and the imperial doctor was called, saying that we were symptoms of poisoning. Poisoned together, if you think about it carefully, we are the only ones who ate your cake at the same time, so the problem lies in the cake itself?"

  Actually, Li Beibei already guessed something on the way here.

   Probably something went wrong with my cake.

  But Li Beibei didn't understand why it was a symptom of poisoning.

  If they have never eaten this thing before, and their stomach feels uncomfortable after eating it for the first time, it is at most just an allergy.

   It is impossible to be as serious as a coma.

  Li Beibei said, "I didn't poison the cake."

  The queen said: "You don't need to quibble, the imperial doctor has already found stars in your cake."

   Li Beibei frowned: "Fan Xingzi, what is it?"

The queen said: "Holy lady, you don't need to ask questions knowingly. Fanxingzi is a highly poisonous substance. This poison is rare and highly concealed. The initial symptoms of severe people will be similar to those of ordinary colds, so it is easy to misdiagnose. But if it is not treated in time, The onset of toxicity is fast and urgent, and people lose their lives very quickly, so Fanxingzi is also known as the most venomous poison."

  Li Beibei said: "I don't even know what Fanxingzi is, nor what kind of poison it is."

  The queen said: "You are the saint who was personally appointed by the emperor, and His Majesty also trusts you very much. I also believe that the saint will not do such a thing. Therefore, I think the saint must have been framed."

  Li Beibei also knew that she must have been framed.

   But hearing what the queen said, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

Sure enough, the queen said in the next sentence: "This kind of star seed is produced in Xizhou. It is difficult for ordinary people to pick it in the depths of the dense forest. Although star seed seed is poison, if it is ground into powder in a small amount and applied on the face, it can beautify the skin and moisturize the skin." As a result, I heard that Concubine Liu Gui’s mother was the most beautiful woman in Xizhou, and she applied this medicine all the year round, so the king of Xizhou surrounded the mountain forest that was rich in fanxingzi. Appear."

   Having said this, the queen raised her head and looked at Li Beibei.

   There was a faint smile on her face: "Saint, do you know what I mean?"

  Li Beibei was silent for a while, and then said following her meaning: "You mean the person who framed me was Concubine Liu Gui?"
