Chapter 129: Poisonous Wine in the Throat

Princess Huyang raised her head from the queen's arms, screamed and cried: "Ning Yi - Ning Yi - "

The queen hugged Princess Huyang tightly and didn't allow her to pass: "Be good, don't be afraid, it's okay......"

The assassin was quickly subdued by the guards, and she tried to kill herself with her dagger but was stopped. The guards protected the emperor and empress and the palace concubines, and watched the surroundings very vigilantly, for fear that another assassin would come from somewhere.

Seeing that the scene was under control, the emperor sat down in his seat, his face sinking like water,

The guards escorted the palace maid up, and for fear that she would bite her tongue and kill herself, her mouth was gagged and she couldn't speak. The palace maid raised her head and stared at the emperor with hatred.

The emperor turned his head to look at Concubine Ande: "Is this someone from your palace?"

Concubine De's face was a little pale after the fright just now, but she looked quite calm, she glanced at the palace maid, and said, "Her name is Luluo, and she has been serving in the concubine's palace for several years." ”

Saying that, Concubine De got up and knelt in front of the emperor: "The assassin who committed the assassination was brought to His Majesty by the concubine, and the concubine is guilty." ”

Concubine Xian also stood up and knelt down side by side with Concubine De: "The chamberlain of this assassination is from the palace of the concubine, and the concubine is also guilty." ”

Princess Huyang immediately cried and said, "No, Father, the Emperor! Lantern Xiao is a person from the Lingxi Pavilion, and he is serving me! You can cure my crimes, don't punish the concubine." ”

Concubine Xian scolded sharply: "Shut up!"

Huyang cried aggrievedly.

The emperor said to Concubine De and Concubine Xian: "Okay! ”

A guard went to check on Ye Yining's injuries, and Ye Yining stood up and refused the guard's support.

The queen gently patted Princess Huyang, who was crying breathlessly, and asked her, "This rescuer is also from your palace?"

Princess Huyang looked at Ye Yining with teary eyes and nodded: "His name is Ning Yi, and he is injured after his mother, can you call the imperial doctor to treat him?"

The queen comforted Huyang: "The imperial doctor will be here soon, he will be fine." ”

The emperor glanced at the palace maid who was assassinating, and said coldly: "I can't ask anything here, take it down and hand it over to the people of the prison department." ”

After the palace maid was taken down, the emperor took a few glances at the ingots that had been out of breath. Then asked Ning Yi: "You killed it?"

Ning Yi bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

The emperor didn't speak for a while, and everyone present felt an invisible pressure, and although Ning Yi's posture was very respectful, his face was very calm.

The emperor suddenly looked at He Linwan: "You." Come forward!"

Wei Shi tightly grabbed He Linwan's wrist.

He Linwan gently patted Wei's hand to break free, slowly walked through the hall that had just become a little messy due to a sudden change, and stood in front of the emperor.

Ning Yi happened to be standing beside her, but neither of them looked at anyone.

He Linwan saluted the emperor and empress.

The emperor looked at He Linwan, raised his eyebrows and asked the empress, "It looks familiar?"

The queen obviously also recognized He Linwan: "It's the girl from Chengenbo's Mansion." Her father was He Guanglie, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard. ”

The Emperor nodded, and his tone softened slightly when he spoke to He Linwan: "You're good! But how did you just find out that this little eunuch was an assassin?"

He Linwan said with some embarrassment: "My father said that people who practice martial arts can sometimes feel danger, and I just felt that he has ...... There is a murderous aura. ”

Many of the people present laughed, but the emperor looked at He Linwan and was noncommittal.

He Linwan said again: "The most important thing is that when he just ran over to you and raised his hand, I saw a dark light flash in his sleeve, I suspect that he has a sharp weapon on his body, and the only thing I can think of is an assassin." ”

Speaking of this, He Linwan glanced at the emperor a little nervously: "But it is also possible that I am far away and I am dazzled by the mistake." ”

The emperor smiled slightly, but his tone didn't seem like a joke: "If you are wrong, you will bear the crime of bullying the king!"

He Linwan seemed to be frightened. Her face turned a little pale, she lowered her head and held back her tears: "If I really misunderstand that Your Majesty wants to punish the crime, please punish me alone, and I will not punish my family." ”

The emperor's tone was unpredictable: "Scared?"

He Linwan bit his lip and said, "Yes, I'm a little scared." However, it is a matter of the safety of His Majesty and Niangniang, even if the courtiers know that there will be a risk of guilt, they will still speak out to warn. ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at He Linwan's eyes a little surprised, and after half a sound, he smiled: "It is worthy of being from the military general's family!" The emperor gestured to a guard next to him. The guard immediately stepped forward to search the sleeve of the little eunuch Lantern Xiao, and after a while, he actually found a dagger from his sleeve.

The guards presented the dagger found from Lantern Xiao to the emperor at one time with the dagger used by the palace maid who had just stabbed him, and the two daggers were exactly the same.

The emperor glanced at He Linwan: "The eyesight is not bad." ”

He Linwan looked relieved.

The emperor looked at Ning Yi who was standing aside. He groaned and didn't speak.

He Linwan watched from the sidelines and knew that he was afraid that the emperor's suspicion was committed again.

She has some understanding of Emperor Li Xun's temperament, this person is scheming and suspicious by nature. Because He Linwan's identity is in the open, and she is not very old, she will be less suspicious, but Ye Yining is different.

This is also the reason why He Lin Wanming still stepped in after knowing Ye Yining's plan.

Before the emperor spoke. He Linwan said suddenly: "Your Majesty, this assassin seems to have said something when he pounced, as if there was something wrong with your glass of wine. ”

The emperor looked at He Linwan: "Since you are an assassin, you can believe what you say?"

He Linwan slandered in his heart: You don't believe it, why do you doubt Ye Yining?

However, on the face, He Linwan said very seriously: "It's better to be careful about the safety of Your Majesty, after all, this assassin is dead and has no proof, if what he said is true, wouldn't it be dangerous if there are other ill-intentioned people around Your Majesty?"

Saying that, He Linwan also glanced at Ye Yining meaningfully.

Princess Huyang also understood at this moment, and looked at He Linwan and said angrily: "Who do you say is the unpredictable person!

He Linwan said sincerely: "Princess, I'm just talking about things. ”

Ye Yining stood there indifferent, and no one looked at it.

The emperor thought for a moment, picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and lowered his head to smell it.

The queen, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian immediately spoke: "Your Majestyβ€”"

The emperor waved his hand, then handed the glass of wine to Ye Yining, looked at him and said, "You have a meritorious service in saving the driver, this glass of wine will be rewarded to you." ”

Ye Yining was stunned for a moment, and then took the emperor's wine: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Princess Huyang's eyes widened: "Father!"

Everyone looked at Ye Yining, and He Linwan also looked at Ye Yining quietly.

"I'd rather notβ€”"

Princess Huyang pounced, and He Lin stepped forward to block Princess Huyang at night.

Ye Yining raised his hand without hesitation and drank the glass of wine, leaving not a drop left.

Princess Huyang raised her hand in anger and slapped He Linwan, He Linwan could have avoided it, but she didn't move.

He Linwan thought, why is Princess Huyang's hand so soft, this slap doesn't make a sound, and it doesn't hurt at all. He Linwan blinked, and forced the tears in the corners of his eyes back.

Princess Huyang was dragged back by Concubine Xian and cried, until she saw that Ye Yining was not poisoned after drinking the wine, she gradually stopped crying.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "You have saved the car today, and I have a heavy reward!" Empress, let the imperial doctor come and see his injuries. ”

The emperor stood up: "I will go to Chengqian Palace, and this place will be handed over to the empress." ”

The queen got up and responded.

When the emperor walked to He Linwan's side, he stopped to look at her, then turned his head and said to the empress: "This girl is good! ”

Princess Huyang glared at He Linwan fiercely.

The queen asked Ning Yi to be taken down to treat her injuries, and Princess Huyang also found an excuse to run away.

After this incident, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, the emperor and empress did not say that they would disperse, and today's banquet will continue.

When He Linwan returned to her seat, everyone looked at her differently, curious and adoring, disdainful, and more envious and jealous. After all, it is a great honor for a girl to be praised by the emperor.

Wei took advantage of everyone's inattention and slapped He Linwan on the back fiercely: "You dead kid......"

He Linwan deliberately "hissed-", Wei immediately changed the shot to Fu, and looked at He Linwan's face worriedly: "Does it hurt when the princess hits you?"

He Linwan comforted Wei in a low voice: "It's okay, it's not as good as a slap from the big tiger." ”

The banquet continued, different from the previous snub to He Linwan, from time to time someone came over to toast Wei and He Linwan,

Although He Linwan followed Wei's greetings with everyone in a regular manner, her heart was not here.

She was worried about Ye Yining's injuries.

Just now she looked at Ye Yining a few times, the injury was not fake, the knife on the arm was deep and the bone was visible, and the knife on the chest was a few critical points.

He Linwan didn't care if her behavior just now would arouse Ye Yining's resentment, she only knew that only by doing so could she completely dispel the emperor's suspicion of Ye Yining, and he could have a life to live. Because with the emperor's character, he would never let anyone with even the slightest suspicion by his side, and he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

When the emperor was about to drink, He Linwan found out that Ye Yining was wrong, with Ye Yining's temperament and the city, when he escaped from the Yang family with her, he could not change his face when he passed by the officials, how could he show half of his emotions when he poisoned the emperor?

So the only possibility is that Ye Yining did it on purpose, because he wanted to lure out the person who was eavesdropping across the courtyard.

Sure enough, after watching for a long time, the chamberlain named Lantern Xiao thought that he could save the driver and make meritorious contributions, and finally came out at a critical moment.
