I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

Her eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment, and the silk handkerchief in her hand had been twisted into a knot. Especially when she saw Xiao Mohan's favor towards Su Yu'er, she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and secretly vowed to regain her position.

Liu Xiner's eyes were also fixed on Su Yuer. Ever since she received the order from King Qi, she had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of Su Yuer.

At this time, Su Yuer realized that someone was staring at her, so she released her spiritual sense and scanned over.

I muttered to myself, "Isn't Lu Yuxuan crazy? She's staring at my stomach.

Liu Xiner, you finally can't sit still anymore.

I'm just waiting for you two to come on stage.

The fun is about to begin."

At this moment, Lu Yuxuan suddenly spoke up and said, "The Queen's talents are unparalleled in the capital. Even the maids around the Queen have such skills. It's amazing!" There was a hint of provocation and jealousy in her words.

Su Yu'er glanced at Lu Yuxuan who was sitting below, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said slowly with a playful tone: "Lipin, I really have no choice but to let the maid dance for me." After that, she took a sip of tea and her eyes fell on the stage again.

At this time, the palace banquet was extremely lively, with laughter and joy heard amidst the clinking of glasses.

In addition to the stunning aerial dance carefully arranged by the Queen, subsequent wonderful singing and dancing performances were also presented, making the entire palace banquet atmosphere warm and cheerful.

Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Su Ninghao and Mrs. Hu were sitting at the banquet. Their eyes were always fixed on their daughter sitting in the main seat, and their pride was beyond words.

At the same time, Su Ninghan's wife Jiang saw her son Su Mingli drinking one glass after another, and she couldn't help but worry.

She hurriedly whispered, "Be polite! This is the imperial palace. Qian Rui has become a noble lady. Just forget about her!" As she spoke, she gently patted her son's hand, trying to comfort him.

Jiang shook her head. No one had expected Zhan Qianrui to enter the palace as a concubine. This sudden change plunged Su Mingli into pain, unable to extricate himself.

Su Ninghan also gently persuaded his son, and he said earnestly: "A real man will never worry about not having a wife." He hoped that his son could let go of this relationship and cheer up again.

At the same time, he signaled his attendants to take away all the wine glasses on his son's table to prevent his son from making a fool of himself in the palace and affecting the family's reputation.

Su Mingli stared at Zhan Qianrui closely, secretly praying in his heart that everything would go well.

Yesterday, Zhan Qianrui told him that the Empress had arranged for her to fake her death at the palace banquet today. She also gave her the elixir, telling her to take it before attending the banquet and then act according to the Empress's instructions.

Zhan Qianrui told him in advance because she was afraid that he would think that Zhan Qianrui was really dead!

Even though he knew it already, he still couldn't help but worry.

Su Mingli had no intention of participating in it. His eyes were always on Zhan Qianrui, silently paying attention to her every move.

At this time, Empress Dowager Wei said to Xiao Mohan: "Emperor, I am a little tired. The Emperor and Empress are here, so I will return to Yongshou Palace first."

Xiao Mohan and Su Yu'er quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Farewell, Mother!"

Afterwards, Queen Dowager Wei left Xueyang Palace.

As the palace banquet gradually entered its second half, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Lu Yuxuan walked towards Su Yuer step by step with Caixia, and her legs trembled slightly under her skirt with every step.

Caixia held a tray steadily in her hands, on which were placed an exquisite wine pot and two wine glasses.

Caixia skillfully picked up the wine jug and carefully poured the wine slowly into the glass.

Then, she gently handed the glass of wine to Lu Yuxuan. The whole process was smooth and there was nothing wrong with it.

Su Yu'er looked at Lu Yuxuan's expression and couldn't help but scream in excitement: "She's finally going to make a move!"

She couldn't wait to see what Lu Yuxuan would do next, and her heart was full of anticipation.

Su Yu'er secretly scanned the wine jug with her spiritual sense and was secretly surprised: "Wow! It's actually a double jug design!"

The design of this wine jug is truly ingenious, and there are hidden mysteries inside.

It was divided into two sides, one side contained poisoned wine, and the other side contained ordinary fine wine.

The switch that controls the conversion of wine and liquid in the wine jug is hidden on the handle of the jug. With just a slight turn, you can easily switch between two different types of wine.

Su Yu'er narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Yuxuan indifferently, and a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes.

Then, she turned to look at Zhan Qianrui seemingly unintentionally, only to see Zhan Qianrui nodded slightly, indicating that she was ready.

Su Yuer laughed secretly in her heart. She didn't expect Lu Yuxuan to be so arrogant. She dared to poison her in public. She was simply seeking death!

At this moment, Lu Yuxuan was so nervous that her hands were clenched tightly, and her palms were almost bleeding from being pinched by her nails. She tried hard to suppress her inner fear and made her voice sound calmer. "Your Majesty, I offer you a glass of wine and wish you a complete success in this banquet."

I will drink first as a sign of respect, lest Her Majesty should misunderstand that I have any evil intentions."

As she spoke, she picked up the wine glass that Caixia handed to her and drank it all in one gulp.

After she finished drinking, she gently put the glass down and placed it back on the tray.

Caixia picked up the wine jug, lightly touched the handle with her right thumb, and quickly converted the wine in the jug into the poisonous wine that had been prepared long ago, and then poured it steadily into the wine glass on the tray.

Lu Yuxuan reached out and took the wine glass again, her lips curled up slightly, "Empress, you should be relieved now, right?"

"Okay! I'll drink it!" Su Yu'er said expressionlessly and reached out to take the wine glass.

At this moment, Zhan Qianrui, who was sitting beside her, suddenly said, "How can this be done? The Queen is pregnant now, and drinking is not good for the fetus. Why don't you let me do it for you and drink this glass of wine for you!"

As he spoke, Zhan Qianrui had already reached out and grabbed the wine glass.

Lu Yuxuan suddenly became anxious and subconsciously wanted to grab the wine glass, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously.

She anxiously looked at the wine glass in Zhan Qianrui's hand. She widened her eyes and said sternly, "Mr. Zhan, you are too presumptuous! This is the wine I offer to the Empress. Bring it to me quickly!"

At this moment, Zhan Qianrui picked up the wine glass without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

With a loud bang, the wine glass fell to the ground, and Zhan Qianrui also slowly fell to the ground.

Everyone's eyes turned towards him as they heard the wine glasses fall to the ground.

"Doctor Xia, hurry up. Go and see what happened to Concubine Zhan."

At this time, Xia Yu was toasting and chatting when the guard Su Mingli grabbed his collar and quickly came to the side of Concubine Zhan.

Xia Yu frowned and said, "Let go, I'm about to fall apart!"

Only then did the guard Su Mingli let go of Xia Yu's collar.

Xia Yu straightened his collar and walked over to Concubine Zhan. He could tell at a glance that Concubine Zhan had already stopped breathing. He picked up the wine glass, sniffed it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise, "Crane's Beak Red!"

Su Mingli's heart instantly rose to his throat, tears in his eyes, as he looked at Zhan Qianrui lying on the ground. He really wanted to hug her.

"Investigate this thoroughly for me! How dare you kill people so blatantly under my nose!" Xiao Mohan was furious and shouted loudly.

"Isn't that Concubine Zhan? What happened to her?" someone whispered.

"Sir Zhan, Lord Zhan has fallen to the ground vomiting blood, and you are still drinking!" someone reminded.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Lord Zhan immediately put down his wine glass and turned to look in the direction of Zhan Qianrui.

At this moment, Madam Zhan was already crying with tears streaming down her face. She threw herself at the noble lady Zhan desperately. She cried out in sorrow, "Qian Rui, what happened to you? Qian Rui..."

Lord Zhan finally saw his wife lying on Zhan Qianrui's body and crying bitterly.

He walked over with trembling legs. The scene before him was heartbreaking—Zhan Qianrui lay quietly on the cold ground with bright red blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"It's all dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have let you enter the palace as a concubine. It's all dad's fault..." Lord Zhan regretted it so much that tears welled up in his eyes.

Prime Minister Lu standing by was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.

He stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open. He thought to himself, "Lu Yuxuan actually killed people so brazenly. I've always been sneaky, but I never thought my daughter could be even more vicious than me."

Lu Haozhe was terrified, completely at a loss. He stared at his sister in astonishment, his heart filled with confusion and fear. He had originally told her to poison the Queen Mother, so why was she poisoning the Queen?

Moreover, this sister was so bold! She actually dared to poison the queen in public.

It's over, everything is ruined.

Liu Xiner was equally terrified, and thankful she hadn't made a move yet. She sighed to herself, "I'm glad I didn't act rashly. What a blessing in disguise!" It was as if she had just experienced a life-or-death ordeal.

Concubine Li looked at Zhan Qianrui falling to the ground. She was already terrified and quickly knelt down to apologize, "Your Majesty, this was not done by me. You saw it too. I also drank this pot of wine!"

"If it's not you, then could it be me? Concubine Li, put away your pitiful look. There are many people who want to kill me, so who do you think you are?" Su Yu'er said coldly, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her voice.

After hearing this, Lipin's face turned pale as paper, her lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at Su Yu'er, "Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse me! How could I possibly want to murder you?"

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. Even if you give me a hundred courages, I still wouldn't dare to do it!" Lu Yuxuan suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Mohan, her face full of tears and sorrow.

Xiao Mohan looked at her coldly, feeling unhappy.
