Long Shifeng is the emperor's sixth son and the same brother as Long Shiyu. He has not yet been given a title.

Chu Feiyan's eyes turned cold. She always felt that something was wrong with this woman. Her eyes were filled with strong murderous intent, which made her feel uneasy.

"Crow, help keep an eye on that woman, Concubine Gu. Also, make sure that my brother's table of food and wine is not tampered with by anyone."

"I understand." The crow responded in the space.

Two palace maids who were serving them stood beside them. When they saw them coming, they brought them a pot of hot tea.

Chu Feiyan picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Gong Beixuan's cup, and whispered, "There may be something wrong with this tea, take a look."

Gong Beixuan picked up the teacup and put it under his nose. He just sniffed it and his expression suddenly changed.

"Little girl, this tea is poisonous, don't drink it." The crow's voice came into her ears.

Chu Feiyan's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, "This Concubine Gu is so bold that she actually dared to poison me in public. She is really courting death."

"So what do you want to do?" Crow asked her.

"Just like last time, let's give him a taste of his own medicine!" Those who want to harm her must be repaid a hundredfold.

"Okay, give me the tea and I will kill this woman today." The crow was here to protect Chu Feiyan, and anyone who wanted to harm her would be eliminated.

Chu Feiyan picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and then held it up.

Gong Beixuan quickly lowered his voice and said, "Ayan, there is something wrong with this tea, don't drink it."

"I know." Chu Feiyan blinked at him, telling him to be at ease.

She blocked the tea with her wide sleeves and pretended to raise her head to drink the tea, but in fact the crow had already drunk the tea.

He glanced at the platform and saw Concubine Gu looking at him with a ferocious smile on her face. He thought his plan had succeeded.

Gong Beixuan, who was standing next to her, felt his heart sink when he saw that the cup was empty. But seeing that she looked normal, he was surprised and his eyes fell on the black ring on her little finger.

"Crow, please also keep an eye on Zhao'er." Chu Feiyan was worried that Concubine Gu would also harm her brother.

"Don't worry!" said the crow.

Suddenly, they heard a sound of breaking air coming towards them.

Chu Feiyan didn't move and let the thing fall on the table in front of them.

"Snapped!"

It was a kumquat as big as an egg. It hit the corner of the table, bounced onto the ground, and rolled to the middle of the hall.

Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan turned their heads and saw that it was the kumquats thrown by Long Shifeng. Their faces instantly turned cold.

What was the emperor talking to Queen Hong about? It was as if he hadn't seen it.

A palace maid quickly ran forward and picked up the kumquat.

"You are all bad guys! Bad guys!" Long Shifeng stared at Chu Feiyan with a ferocious expression.

"It's a sign of short life, don't pay any attention to it." Gong Beixuan said calmly.

Chu Feiyan was stunned. Was he talking about Long Shifeng?

Long Shiqi, who was sitting next to her, couldn't bear to watch and stood up and said, "Sixth Brother, why did you throw the kumquat at Sister Feiyan? What if she hits you?"

"Long Shifeng, you are the bad guy because you hit Sister Feiyan with something!" Long Shiruo also said indignantly.

"What does it have to do with you? Why do you mind your own business?" Long Shifeng was still afraid of the emperor after all. He just glared at them fiercely and sat back next to Concubine Gu.

Concubine De glanced at the emperor, pulled the two children back, and shook her head at them, "You must not make trouble."

The prince was upset when he saw Long Shifeng being so rude. But seeing that the emperor didn't care at all, he shook his head and didn't dare to say anything!

"Master Imperial Master, Feiyan. I'll toast to you." The prince raised his glass to them and drank it down.

Gong Beixuan's face was cold and his voice was high, "Ayan, since the birthday gift has been delivered, let's go! I'll make you something delicious when we get back."

"The real show hasn't started yet, it would be a shame to leave now!" Chu Feiyan said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they looked at the stage and then at the audience, as if there was really going to be a good show to watch.

"Good show?" Gong Beixuan looked at the cup she had just drunk from, thoughtfully.

At this time, Chu Feiyan saw the palace maid who had just come over also carrying a pot of tea, and walked to her brother's table and replaced the original small teapot.

Gong Beixuan also saw it, and the two looked at each other.

Chu Feiyan gritted her teeth secretly, thinking what a vicious Concubine Gu was. She really didn't think of letting her brother go.

"Crow, I will make sure that woman dies today."

"Don't worry, just wait and watch the show." said the crow.

On the other side, Chu Wenzhao saw the maid replace the teapot and became alert. He didn't even drink a sip of the tea, so why did the maid replace it?

The food at palace banquets was usually tested for poison, but seeing this palace maid replace the teapot for no reason, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

He seldom went to the palace to attend palace banquets before, and every time he came, he was accompanied by his sister. They were all very cautious and usually didn't eat anything.

I was thinking about something when I suddenly heard a "pop".

Chu Wenzhao looked down and was stunned to see that the teapot that was placed on the table had fallen down by itself, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

The sudden sound attracted many people's attention.

"Chu Wenzhao, your Chu family is the best in martial arts, you can't be unable to even hold a teapot?" Han Chengan's sarcastic voice came over.

"Hmph!" Chu Wenzhao snorted, gave him an ambiguous look, and picked up the teapot.

Two palace maids came over, cleaned up the water stains on the ground skillfully, and stepped aside.

Soon, a new pot of tea was brought up, again by the palace maid.

"Wait a minute!" Gong Beixuan suddenly stood up, walked to Chu Wenzhao's table, and sniffed the scent of tea in the air.

"Master Imperial Master, what's wrong?" the prince asked him.

Gong Beixuan said: "This tea is poisonous!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"What? It's poisonous!"

Everyone in the hall looked at the teacups they had drunk from and their faces turned pale with fear. They had all drunk the tea, so they couldn't have been poisoned, right?

Chu Wenzhao's face also turned pale. He had suspected that there was something wrong with the tea just now, but he didn't expect it to be true. Fortunately, he didn't drink it.

Long Shijun was also shocked. He stood up and asked, "Wen Zhao, you didn't drink the tea just now, did you?"

"I didn't drink." Chu Wenzhao knew that Long Shijun really cared about him, so he gave him a grateful look, "I'm fine."

"It's poisonous! How is that possible?" The prince hurriedly followed over, but he knew that if the imperial teacher said it was poisonous, it must be poisonous.

When Eunuch Bi heard the Imperial Master say that the tea was poisoned, his face changed and he shouted, "Come here, check His Majesty's tea and dishes."

There was a poison tester in the hall. Upon hearing what Eunuch Bi said, he ran over and tested the emperor's food again.

The eunuch's hands trembled slightly. If there was poison in the emperor's tea, he would be dead!

The maid who served tea was trying to quietly leave the hall, but was stopped by Ji Song's sword. "Where do you want to go?"

"Slave..."

“Go back!” Ji Song shouted coldly, scaring the palace maid so much that her face turned pale and she had to retreat back.

"Who brought this tea? Get out here!" the prince shouted.

"Yes...slave!"

The maid who served the tea walked to the center of the hall and knelt down on both knees, but her face looked very calm. "To answer your question, Your Highness, I served the tea, but I didn't know it was poisoned."

"You don't know?" The prince raised his foot and kicked the maid hard in the chest. "You were the one who brought the tea, but you said you didn't know. Do you think I'm a fool?"

The maid was kicked to the ground, unable to get up due to the pain. "I really don't know, Your Highness, please check it out..."

"Imperial Master, do you know what kind of poison this is?" the emperor on the high throne finally asked.

"Since Your Majesty wants to know, let her drink a cup of this tea and you will know!" Gong Beixuan ordered: "Ji Song, give her the tea in this teapot."
