Chapter 389 (1/2)

In the morning of these days, King Huai clearly felt that those sour scholars in the Imperial Academy were intentionally or unintentionally holding Gu Jinghong's stinky feet, especially the ever clear Qianzhan snow, and even exhaled with the emperor through one nostril.

Gu Xuanfeng was caught unprepared by this incident. He accidentally lost the construction right of the Ministry of works this year and fell into the hands of the South King of town.

When the weather turned warm, a lot of things were added in the imperial study. Aunt Cui, the maid in charge of the palace, was not relieved to give it to others, so she did everything by herself, so that she never stopped from morning till night.

Aunt Cui is an old man in the palace. She once served the first emperor. She is trustworthy.

Gu Jinghong saw that Aunt Cui had been busy and was so tired that he was sweating. He gave her the order of the tea cup that the palace man had just brought up.

”Thank you very much for your reward.” Aunt Cui is very excited to take over the tea cup and drink it up.

Gu did not pay much attention to this matter, and continued to read with his head down.

Suddenly there was a sound of falling to the ground. Gu Jinghong raised his head abruptly. He saw aunt Cui lying on the ground, foaming at her mouth, and the cup of tea in her hand fell to pieces.

”Pass it on to the doctor!” Gu Jinghong immediately put aside his pen and went over.

When Grandpa an realized something was wrong, he took out the silver needle he had with him and put it into the tea on the ground. The silver needle suddenly turned black, which made him lose his color.

”Your Majesty, don't come!” Mr. an stopped Gu Jinghong from leaning over. ”This tea is poisonous!”

Gu Jinghong's tea was poisoned. If it had not been given to Aunt Cui, it would have been Gu Jinghong.

Pei Zhuang came almost at the same time as Zhang Chaozong, but when they came, aunt Cui had lost her breath and could not be saved. The poisoner wanted Gu Jinghong's life.

”Your Majesty must order that the poisoners should be strictly investigated. They dare to poison the imperial palace. They must never let such a thing happen again.” Pei thinks about it and feels scared.

Isn't this kind of behavior just being cut off by others at home?

Gu Jinghong looked at the cup of tea on the ground with a gloomy face and said coldly: ”I know who made it. He is warning me not to do anything against his will. ”

Those who can poison in the heavily guarded harem can't find anyone else except King Huai.

His action may not really be to kill Gu Jinghong, but to warn the other side that Gu Jinghong is not allowed to continue to buy power in the DPRK.

”Take aunt Cui down first, send someone to bury her, and then give her more pension.” Gu Jinghong turns around and doesn't want to see another scene, which makes his heart chill.

Gu Xuanfeng is like a madman now. He does everything by any means. He doesn't even use the last piece of shame cloth rarely. He shows his ambition with a stab.

”The tea presented to your majesty can be poisoned easily. It seems that the people in the imperial tea house need to check it carefully, and all the people who handle this cup of tea need to check it.” Pei Zhuang told grandpa an, ”in addition, you need to pay special attention to any food presented to your majesty recently. You must not make any mistakes again.”

This time, she was scared. The security around Gu Jinghong was like a sieve. Who can poison him.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather became more and more inflamed and hot. Pei makeup has always been tired recently. After all, as an ancient people, even in summer, she had to wear at least three layers of long skirts. God knows how much she misses wearing a suspender skirt now.
