《The Willow Boat》E39
Episode 39
The shadow guards under Cui Xingzhou quietly conveyed urgent information, and King Sui decided to launch a rebellion on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The safety of the defense lines around the capital was at stake.Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou analyzed side by side and foresaw that the capital was about to fall into a bloody storm.The emperor had heard about this for a long time. He was eager to confront King Sui head-on, but he was concerned about the safety of the queen, so he secretly ordered the shadow guards to ensure the safety of the queen, and arranged for her to leave the palace and take refuge on the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the name of praying for blessings.The empress was extremely intelligent and noticed something strange in the emperor's recent busyness and worries. Although she was puzzled by the sudden arrangement of leaving the palace, she obeyed.
At the same time, the queen was very concerned about the rejection of Sun Yun'er's gift. Liu Miantang happened to be nearby and witnessed the arrogance of Sun Yun'er's maid. She bluntly said that what the imperial concubine asked for was a treasure given by the emperor, which made Shi Xueji look embarrassed.Upon seeing this, the queen put the overall situation first and generously gave Sun Yun'er the unique Fengyi jewelry head and face in the palace.Sun Yun'er was so proud that she dressed up and went to the emperor to ask for his favor without being summoned, but was met with a cold reception. She even lost face because she failed to please the emperor on her birthday.Frustrated, she wanted to seek refuge with King Sui, but she was turned away, and she became resentful.
At this moment, a secret letter and a packet of medicinal powder from Princess Sui were quietly delivered to Sun Yun'er, adding fuel to his revenge fire.Sun Yun'er mistakenly believed that this was the order of King Sui, and since she had nothing to fear, she decided to poison the emperor's family banquet.The queen and the emperor drank poisoned wine and fainted on the spot. The queen mother responded quickly and sealed the palace gate to track down the real culprit.After some investigation, although Liu Miantang was framed, the Queen Mother was wise and exposed Sun Yun'er's true face through the toxicity test of the imperial doctor.In the end, Sun Yun'er suffered the consequences, and King Sui learned that the emperor was poisoned and mistakenly believed that victory was within his grasp. He suspended his rebellion plan and waited for the throne to fall into his hands naturally.
