Chapter 427: Longevity Lock
Time flies, and soon it was Changning's one-month birthday.
Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang were both very happy about this.
Lin Rusi felt that Changning had finally grown up, and Li Jingyang felt that he was finally about to make it through.
Not only were the two of them happy, but the emperor was also extremely pleased.
After all, Changning was his first grandson.
So the emperor decided to hold a grand full-moon celebration for Changning.
Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi were also in complete agreement.
So on the day of Changning's full moon celebration, a full moon banquet was held in the entire palace.
Many people were invited for this purpose.
Even the ministers from before, as well as many royals from neighboring countries, were invited to the banquet.
Even Mi Lingjun, who had been imprisoned at home, was released.
Because Lady Mi is also going to the palace to attend this banquet.
Moreover, Lin Rusi also attached great importance to this banquet.
Changning was dressed cleanly, and even when held by the nanny, she was still exceptionally happy.
However, even the emperor on his high throne couldn't help but laugh when he saw his grandson looking so excited and happy.
Beside the emperor were Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi.
The wet nurse placed the baby in Lin Rusi's arms.
Lin Rusi and her child naturally received praise from everyone.
"The Crown Princess is truly blessed to have given birth to such a fine prince!"
"Yes, with such a capable woman as the Crown Princess, what does the Crown Prince still have to worry about!"
"No wonder the Crown Prince is so fond of the Crown Princess; who wouldn't be attracted to her beauty!"
……
Everyone then focused their conversation on Lin Rusi and the child.
However, Mi Lingjun clenched her teeth.
Why is Lin Rusi so highly praised and adored?
Looking at the scene before her, Mi Lingjun felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
She clenched her fists tightly, unable to hide the jealousy on her face.
However, Lord Mi was sitting right next to her at that moment.
When he saw his daughter like this, he was puzzled.
After all, Mi Lingjun usually presents a proper and elegant demeanor.
How could Lord Mi not be surprised by this jealous look on his face?
"Jun'er?"
Lord Mi reached out and touched Mi Lingjun beside him with a puzzled look.
However, at this moment, Mi Lingjun was immersed in the idea of killing Lin Rusi and her child.
He almost jumped up from his seat when Mi Daren touched him like that.
"Dad! What are you doing? You really startled me!"
Mi Lingjun screamed and slapped her father's hand away.
Lord Mi would find it extremely strange.
What's wrong with my daughter?
Why do all my behaviors become so strange as soon as I arrive at this palace?
"Jun'er, what are you staring at like that in this situation? Why are your eyes fixed on someone without moving?"
Following Mi Lingjun's gaze, Lord Mi only saw Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi.
After hearing Lord Mi's words, Mi Lingjun sighed helplessly.
"Who else is watching? Of course, it's the Crown Prince and Crown Princess! After all, they are the main characters today!"
"And of course, there's the prince in their arms."
Mi Lingjun spoke in a sarcastic tone, gritting her teeth.
What Lord Mi said seemed rather strange.
However, what she said was not wrong.
So Lord Mi stopped caring about his daughter.
The banquet was halfway over, but Mi Lingjun was still thinking of ways to kill the lovely Changning.
After all, if Changning hadn't died, then Mi Lingjun would have really had to find a way to kill Lin Rusi.
So Mi Lingjun racked her brains to come up with a solution.
She quickly focused her gaze on Changning's neck.
This baby, who is just one month old, is supposed to wear a longevity lock.
It is clear that Changning has not put it on yet.
This made Mi Lingjun squint her eyes; she had come up with a good idea.
So Mi Lingjun got up and left her seat.
She took out the poison she had prepared in advance.
After that, they found someone else to make a new longevity lock.
This longevity lock is no different from other longevity locks.
But Mi Lingjun smiled exceptionally happily.
"Let's see how His Highness the Crown Prince handles this matter this time."
As Mi Lingjun smiled, she took out a packet of medicine powder from her pocket.
They found a plate and mixed it with the poison.
The longevity lock was soaked in poison.
After all this was done, Mi Lingjun took a piece of red cloth and wrapped the longevity lock around it.
Once again, the longevity lock was handed over to the same person as before.
Not only that, Mi Lingjun also repeatedly reminded her.
"This must be personally handed to the Crown Prince or Crown Princess, not to anyone else. After all, this is a longevity lock, meant for a prince."
With Mi Lingjun's instructions, those people dared not neglect their duties.
In front of everyone, he gave the longevity lock to Lin Rusi.
At this moment, Mi Lingjun's smile was exceptionally cunning.
After all, it contains a highly poisonous substance.
If the poison on the longevity lock comes into contact with her skin, Changning will surely die.
Moreover, what if Lin Rusi accidentally took the longevity lock into her hands as well?
The consequences would be unimaginable.
As Mi Lingjun pondered this, she turned her gaze to the family of three.
At this moment, the man had already handed the longevity lock he had prepared to Lin Rusi.
Lin Rusi grasped both ends of the chain, preparing to put it on Changning.
However, at this critical moment, Li Jingyang suddenly grabbed the chain.
"This longevity lock doesn't seem to be one of the ones we prepared beforehand, does it?"
Li Jingyang looked at the longevity lock in front of him with suspicion.
The person who delivered the longevity lock trembled with fear.
Seeing Li Jingyang's expression, he didn't dare to say anything out of line and nodded sincerely.
"This is indeed not the one we prepared beforehand; it was sent by them."
This person was clever enough not to expose Mi Lingjun.
However, Mi Lingjun, who was standing to the side, saw this scene and clenched her hands tightly.
I felt extremely anxious.
However, Li Jingyang narrowed his eyes when he heard that it was delivered by someone else.
He simply ripped the longevity lock off and threw it aside.
They seemed quite impolite.
Li Jingyang's behavior was something Mi Lingjun hadn't expected.
"Damn it, why didn't they bring this longevity lock with them!"
Mi Lingjun slammed her hand on the table, almost standing up from her seat.
But Lord Mi grabbed her wrist from the side.
"What's the rush, girl! This isn't home, it's the palace! You can't embarrass me again!"
Hearing her father's words, Mi Lingjun could only sit down reluctantly, her face full of unwillingness.
However, Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi were no longer fixated on the longevity lock.
