The book begins with the waste of all the members

The entire venue is divided into three areas, with the flat stage area in the middle as the center.

Directly above the stage is the imperial area, with the Emperor's Golden Dragon Banquet Table at the top. Four tables are placed to the left and right of the Emperor's seat. Seated from left to right are Noble Consort Chen, Noble Consort Hui, and Consort Xian. The seat from the right is empty, and from the second right onwards sits Prince Ning, Consort Shu, and Lim So-won.

Below the stage are civil and military officials, but not all of them can come here. Only high-ranking officials can attend.

During a break in the song and dance performance, Concubine Xian asked, "Your Majesty, is the Empress Dowager not coming tonight?"

"The Queen Mother went up the mountain to Yongquan Temple this morning to pray for Prince Ning. When she was discussing the Buddha's true words with the abbot, they got along very well and missed the time. She could only stay overnight on the mountain." Si Muzhen explained.

Lin Su came to King Ning holding a box.

Si Muzhen said to Si Muzhu, "My mother feels deeply guilty and has sent someone to bring your birthday gift."

Inside the box is a Bodhi bead bracelet, each bead of which is engraved with the Buddhist Six-Syllable Mantra.

Si Muzhou put on the bracelet immediately and said, "Thank you, mother."

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyuan passed by Concubine Chen and several other concubines of higher rank than her and raised her glass to toast, "The Queen Mother truly loves Prince Ning deeply. I wish Prince Ning peace and happiness every year."

Prince Ning acted as if he hadn't noticed Lin Zhaoyuan. He raised his glass to Si Muzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

Lin Zhaoyuan pouted and looked at Si Mu with grievance, saying, "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?"

"How could it be..." Si Muzhen waved, "Come to me."

Lin Zhaoyuan twisted her waist and walked to the emperor, "Your Majesty~~"

Wei Yu on the tree was covered in goosebumps. If Lin Zhaoyuan's voice could take shape, it would definitely be able to kill mosquitoes.

"Your Majesty, I am so sad that I can't even drink any more. Please drink this glass of wine with me."

"My beloved concubine has said so, but how can I not drink?"

Si Muzhen drank the wine in one gulp, and comforted Lin Zhaoyuan with a few words before coaxing her back.

The moment Lin Zhaoyuan turned around, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

No one else saw it, but Wei Yu saw it clearly from the tree.

Wei Yu and Lin Zhaoyuan gave her a very strange feeling.

Lin Zhaoyuan...Lin Zhaoyuan didn't seem to appear in the book, so she should not be an important character, so Wei Yu no longer paid attention to her.

So she didn't notice that after Lin Zhaoyuan sat back in her seat, she didn't drink another sip of wine, and she kept looking at the dark lake in the distance.

No one cared about Lin Zhaoyuan's little episode and the show continued.

Although the magic show and crosstalk sketches that Wei Yu suggested were not in the show, Wei Yu still watched it with great interest until the last show came: releasing sky lanterns for blessings.

This program was proposed by Wei Yu. At first, she wanted to set off fireworks, but there seemed to be none here, so she changed to releasing sky lanterns.

The sky lanterns slowly rose into the sky, and the dark lake surface was sparkling with stars, creating a full atmosphere.

Wei Yu didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the stars on the water surface disappeared from time to time, as if the surface of the lake was disturbed by something.

Wei Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and a voice echoed in his mind: Save him, please save him.

Who to save?

"Wei Yu, what's wrong with you?" Bai Shuyang asked in a low voice.

"Did you hear anything?"

Bai Shuyang was puzzled, "There are sounds all around."

"No, it's a woman's voice, asking me to save someone."

Bai Shuyang looked around and said, "Is it possible that you have offended something unclean again?"

"Don't talk nonsense, we have to believe in science." Although she said this, she still looked left and right unconsciously.

flustered.

Wei Yu stared straight at the lake. Did she miss something?

In the third year of Yuanshen, Prince Min rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate in Tongyuzhou. Emperor Yuanshen Si Muzhen was injured and unconscious. Countries in the Western Regions and the Huns invaded one after another. In order to stabilize the border and military morale, Prince Ning led his troops to fight. Although Prince Min died, his followers were not yet eliminated, and the court was in turmoil. The Queen Mother immediately took the emperor's seal and ruled the country from behind the curtain until the emperor woke up.

After the emperor regained consciousness, he immediately set about clearing out Prince Min's followers. Concubine Chen's mother's family was also caught in this way. Later, in order to appease Concubine Chen, the emperor promoted her to Concubine Chen Huang and took the heroine into the palace.

Wei Yu finally remembered that she had skipped through the chapters and had forgotten about it for a while. She pounded her head a few times: "I told you to skip a chapter, I'll let you skip a chapter."

"Bai Shuyang..."

Wei Yu wanted to remind Bai Shuyang, but at this moment Bai Shuyang was staring down with a serious face, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword.

It turned out that King Min had already surrounded Tongyu Island with his troops in three layers. It was unknown how many rebels were still outside, but there were estimated to be four or five hundred people surrounding the birthday banquet venue.

There were only four or five hundred guards in the palace, and only more than two hundred people were present, so the difference in military strength was huge.

The ministers were forced to the center of the stage, Si Muzhen was still drinking leisurely, and even Si Muzhou did not seem nervous at all.

An upright censor cursed at King Min: "You have evil intentions! I knew you were up to no good. Today, your fox tail is finally exposed."

King Min glared at the censor fiercely, but the censor showed no sign of shutting up. "Even if you succeed today, can you secure your throne by ascending in this way? Don't dream. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible."

King Min quickly walked up to the censor, drew his sword, and slashed the official's throat with a clean stroke.

Wei Yu had never seen such a scene before. He covered his mouth and swallowed back his scream.

Bai Shuyang raised his index finger, signaling her to be quiet, "Close your eyes and cover your ears."

Wei Yu shook his head. If he didn't listen or watch at this time, he would only have more wild thoughts and become more panicked.

"Don't worry about me for a moment, go and protect the emperor." Wei Yu's voice was trembling.

Bai Shuyang saw that her condition was not very good, and he was very anxious. "Are you really okay?"

"I'm fine. I'll stay up there. You can get down when you get a chance."

Bai Shuyang nodded.

Si Mu's voice rang out, "Prince Min, my uncle, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to still be so impulsive..."

Prince Min narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't act so superior. You're just as disgusting as your deceased father."

"If your father hadn't secretly set up obstacles on my way back to the capital, I wouldn't have been able to see him for the last time, and he wouldn't have passed the throne to your father." King Min opened his arms and said loudly, "This throne should have belonged to me."

"I don't know where you heard this rumor, but my father's throne came cleanly, as can be attested by all the civil and military officials."

"Ridiculous." Prince Min snorted coldly, "You are the emperor now. Everything they say is just to please you. Will they tell the truth?"

Si Muzhen asked expressionlessly, "So what do you think?"

"Of course, to take back everything that belongs to me..."
