The grass in the factory should be plucked

June 6th is Concubine Zhou’s birthday.

The palace banquet was held in Hua'e Tower in the Imperial Garden.

At this time, the flowers are in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.

There were also court musicians hidden in pavilions and terraces, among green trees and flowers, playing the piano or the flute, and the melodious sounds of strings and bamboos came from the air.

Palace maids in gorgeous clothes shuttled around, serving fine wine and delicious food to the nobles. It was a scene of wealth and luxury on earth.

Concubine Zhou first accepted congratulations from the ladies with imperial titles in Yuhua Palace, and then, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, she led the ladies with imperial titles and noble ladies in the boudoir to Hua'e Tower.

Concubine Xiao Shufei led the concubines of the harem, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, the Princess of Qi, and the Princess of the First Prince to bow outside the Hua'e Tower and respectfully welcome Concubine Zhou.

"May the Royal Concubine be blessed with good health!"

Concubine Zhou was very proud and said, "No need to be polite. Stand up."

Surrounded by the crowd, she walked into Hua'e Tower with a beaming face and sat at the top.

At this time, in the Yangxin Palace, the old emperor was drinking ginseng soup served by palace maids.

The eunuch came to report that Governor Liao was asking for a meeting outside the palace.

The old emperor said calmly: "Announce."

After Liao Wuyong entered the hall, he saluted the old emperor.

The old emperor asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Liao Wuyong said: "My secret guards accidentally captured a bird that looks like a phoenix. I am ignorant and cannot identify it, so I am sending it to Your Majesty for identification."

"Phoenix?" The old emperor showed some interest. "Bring it in, so I can have a look."

It happened to be the imperial concubine's birthday. If it was really a phoenix, giving it to her would be a lucky gift that would make her smile.

The old emperor also began to like Liao Wuyong a little more.

Liao Wuyong shouted outside: "Bring in the phoenix!"

Four masked secret guards from the Eastern Depot walked into the hall carrying a large iron cage.

The cage was covered with a black cloth.

The old emperor asked Liao Wuyong to remove the black cloth.

Liao Wuyong asked, "Your Majesty, could you please ask the palace maids to leave first? This will prevent the phoenix from being frightened."

The old emperor nodded: "You guys leave first."

The palace servants bowed and retreated.

Liao Wuyong gently lifted the black cloth.

The old emperor looked closely and saw a strange bird with a golden body and colorful tail feathers squatting in the cage.

"Chicken head, swallow chin, snake neck, colorful..." The old emperor walked around the cage, his face showing excitement, "It really looks like the legendary phoenix!"

He unconsciously moved closer to the cage and examined it carefully.

A petite secret guard suddenly opened the cage door, and the "Phoenix" fluttered out, facing the old emperor, it raised its neck and sang: "Oh-oh-oh--"

The old emperor's face suddenly changed, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to move!

The petite secret guard was Jiang Li. She shouted, "Brother Shen, hurry up!"

These four secret guards are naturally Jiang Li, Xie Changan, Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang.

Shen Muchun hurried forward and stuffed a pill into the old emperor's mouth.

Jiang Li then used his internal energy to force blood out of his fingertips, then put his fingers in front of the old emperor's mouth and nose.

Everyone stared at the old emperor with bated breath, not daring to blink.

Soon, a small piece of skin on the old emperor's neck was seen bulging and moving rapidly towards his face!

"Here it comes!" Jiang Li shouted.

Xie Changan quickly guarded Jiang Li.

Shen Muchun and Mo Qillang put on gold-wire gloves and prepared to catch the poisonous insects.

This was also the first time that Liao Wuyong had seen such an occasion. He concentrated his mind and was secretly on guard.

Shen Muchun's pill was made from several plants that insects loved, mixed with Jiang Li's blood.

The pill melted in his mouth. The poisonous insect in the old emperor's body tasted the sweetness of blood and suddenly went crazy. It gathered all its strength and crawled towards the source of the sweet smell.

Seeing that the small bulge under the old emperor's skin had crawled near his mouth and nose, Jiang Li retracted his fingers. The poisonous insect smelled the sweet smell and was moving away. It suddenly became anxious and drilled out of the old emperor's nasal cavity!

This is a snow-white worm, fat and white. Jiang Li got goosebumps. It's so disgusting!

The bug aimed in her direction and jumped up, but was caught by Shen Muchun quickly and squeezed hard!

With a "squeak", the insect turned into a pool of black blood, and a big hole was immediately corroded on his gold-wire gloves!

"This insect is highly poisonous!" Shen Muchun quickly took off his gloves.

"Dajin, well done!" Jiang Li praised the big rooster that she disguised as a phoenix.

The big rooster was very proud: "Master, this tail feather is so beautiful, can you keep it for me?"

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Li held back his laughter and nodded repeatedly.

Liao Wuyong asked, "How is His Majesty?"

As the poisonous insect left his body, the old emperor's face suddenly turned pale.

Shen Muchun felt his pulse and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty's dragon body has been overdrawn. I think he is going to be in bad shape."

Liao Wuyong hurriedly sent the old emperor to the couch, and after a while, the old emperor woke up slowly.

He opened his eyes and when he saw Liao Wuyong, he quickly grabbed his hand and said with gritted teeth: "You rebellious son is harming me!"

It turned out that when Nangong Xihe came to say goodbye that day, he fell at his feet and cried.

The old emperor felt soft-hearted and was about to help him up, but then he saw Nangong Xihe flip his hand and a fat white insect jumped out of his hand and went straight into the old emperor's nasal cavity!

After the poisonous insect entered his body, the old emperor was still conscious, but he was powerless and had to obey Nangong Xihe's orders.

The old emperor's consciousness was trapped within his own body, as if in a cage, and he could not escape no matter how hard he struggled.

Seeing that he had obeyed Nangong Xihe's orders, he wanted to depose the crown prince, establish the King of Qi, demote officials, lock up the imperial doctors such as Pei Yuanzheng, and expel Liao Wuyong and Shen Muchun...

He was so angry that he wished he could kill this rebellious son with his own hands!

After the poisonous insect left his body, the old emperor finally regained control of his body.

He looked at the people in front of him with mixed feelings: "Lord Liao, you have done a great service in saving me. I will reward you handsomely! Now..."

He covered his chest and coughed violently, "Queen Xuan, the Crown Prince, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are here to see me! Order the imperial guards to surround the palace and bring the Prince of Qi to me!"

"Yes!" Liao Wuyong then arranged them one by one.

Jiang Li, Xie Changan, Mo Qilang and Dajin evacuated first and met up with the Duke of Zhenguo and others, while Shen Muchun stayed to treat the emperor.

In the Imperial Garden, the banquet in Hua'e Tower has been prepared and everyone is waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

Concubine Zhou was a little anxious, and said to the maid beside her: "Go and see where the emperor is?"

"Yes, madam!"

The palace maid bowed and retreated, hurried towards the Yangxin Palace.

Nangong Xihe smiled and said, "Mother, please be patient. Father may be choosing a gift for you, so that's why he's delayed."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of black blood!

Concubine Zhou was immediately shocked: "Xi'er, Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"

Nangong Xihe rudely pushed away the palace maid who came forward to support him, took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up suddenly, his face ashen.

Gu worm! The Gu worm he put into the old emperor's body died!

Who was it, who ruined his good thing?

The poisonous insect is dead, and the old emperor will soon wake up. He has to carry out the next plan immediately, otherwise it will be too late!

Nangong Xihe strode up to the top floor of Hua'e Building.

With a "bang", a flare exploded in the air.
