Chapter 147: A Plot Emerges
In another palace in the inner courtyard of the palace, there was a graceful and luxurious young woman sitting on the main seat, and I saw that she was wearing a pale white palace dress, but the elegance was a little more dusty.
The wide skirt is elegant, elegant, jade-like green silk, simply curled in a flying fairy bun, and a few full and round pearls are embellished at will, making the cloud-like hair more soft and moisturized.
The beautiful eyes are full of color, and there is a light smile between the red lips, intentionally or unintentionally. After listening to the news from the inner servant, he couldn't pretend anymore.
Meimu glared angrily, picked up the glass tea cup on the side, and fell angrily outside the door of the hall, with a bang, the glass cup was shattered in an instant, but the anger on her body was still not half gone.
When the little eunuch looked at his mother, he was so angry that he even smashed his favorite glass cup, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, and his heart was very panicked.
"Queen Mother, this matter is true, the person who delivered the news was present at the time, and it was really true, it was the people of the prince's party who brutalized our Royal Highness, this jade pendant is the second prince, you dissipate your anger, we must avenge this revenge.... Just now, the minions heard a piece of news.... Here's the thing...."
The little eunuch watched his master become more and more gloomy and terrifying, and he didn't dare to hide it at all, and confided in everything he heard, afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he handed over the jade pendant of the second highness by the way.
I thought that by taking advantage of this news, I could be promoted and rewarded by my master, so that I could be promoted and make a fortune, but at first glance, it is obvious that the timing is not right today, so it is important to save my life!
"Ah! these untouchables dare to kill my son, and this palace will make them doomed from the catastrophe, and there will be no corpse to die. Xifeng roared angrily.
Thinking of the dead Mu Wenwen, there was a faint pain in her heart, that was his only son, she regarded it as a treasure, she had been planning for him for many years, and now all the efforts were in vain, can you not hate?
Xifeng's ruthless color reappeared, the sharp nails had been cut off by her, and the pain in her fingertips could not dissolve the pain in her heart.
"This palace will never treat its subordinates badly, if you dare to be careful next time, this palace will not spare it, you tell it to go down, just treat this matter as if you have never heard it, try to let her get involved in it, it depends on her whether it can be done or not!"
Xifeng's eyes were deep, gloomy and terrifying, looking at the eunuch kneeling at his feet, he warned coldly, his careful thinking, Xifeng is commonplace.
"Yes, yes! The slave promised that there would be no next time, and the slave would do it immediately!" The little eunuch kept sweating on his forehead, as if he was about to be amnesty, and quickly kowtowed to show his heart, and then rolled out of the Fengluan Palace.
After leaving the hall, the little eunuch took a deep breath, looked at the gold medal plaque of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing above, and sighed in a low voice: "In the future, the miscellaneous family will still have a little bit of responsibility, this master is moody, and the future is worrying!"
The harem has always been a place where mothers and children are expensive, even if the queen mother is strong, it is useless, without the support of the second highness, the status will plummet in the future.
"Manzhi, you go and send a message to Prince Mu, saying that there is something important to discuss in the palace, if you want to achieve your wish, you will meet in the old place tonight!"
"Niangniang, there is no turning back when you open the bow, have you really decided?" Manzhi secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he still looked normal on the surface, and asked again in a low voice.
"Is there a better way in this palace? go down, this palace is lacking!" Xifeng asked helplessly, his brain ached faintly, and his body was a little unable to stand, so he could only wave his hand and tell the maid to come over and help him lie down.
"That's all there is to do for now, you can rest assured that the slave will definitely spread the news!" After saying that, Manji bowed respectfully and quietly retired.
After leaving the palace, Manzhi summoned the little eunuch just now again, yes, the two of them are the chess pieces that Prince Mu has placed next to the queen mother for many years.
"Miss Manzhi, what do you command?" the eunuch didn't notice anything unusual after watching around, so he dared to ask in a low voice and cautiously, they had never met for so many years, because they were afraid that their identities would be discovered by the queen's mother.
"You go, tell the master, the queen invited him to discuss important matters in detail, the master has been planning for many years, I believe that his wish will be fulfilled soon!"
After Manzhi finished his order, he was afraid that the queen would notice something unusual, so he turned around and went out for a circle, and told the queen about the matter when he returned to the palace.
"Well, you still do everything to reassure the palace, Manzhi, you have been following the palace for some years, and now you are not young, after this matter, you don't have to serve, when the time comes, the palace will find a reason to let you out of the palace to marry, these are the dowries prepared for you by the palace, you can take them!"
Seeing Manzhi come back, the heart she was carrying could be temporarily put down, Manzhi was a maid she grew up with, serving her for many years, and doing her best, Xifeng felt a little indebted to her, so she found someone to dig out the jewelry to give her.
Xifeng is only in his early thirties, and since he heard the bad news, he has become a lot haggard overnight, his face is pale and bloodless, and even his temples have grown a few strands of gray hair overnight.
"Niangniang, the slave maid still has to serve you for the rest of your life, you don't have the intention of marrying, do you plan to not want the slave maid?" Manzhi was a little moved, knelt down and crawled to Xifeng's side, and said sadly, there was still some weakness in his heart.
For fear that her identity would be exposed, she has been chasing after Xifeng since she was a child, in all fairness, Xifeng has treated her well over the years, and people's hearts are flesh and blood, and she can't bear it, so she has no choice but to do it.
The lives of her family are in the hands of King Mu, and Manzhi can only be at the mercy of the chess pieces, she dare not hope to marry in this life, she is in her thirties, I only hope that after the fact, Prince Mu can let their family live, and I only feel deeply guilty about the queen's kindness.
And the main hall of the banquet at this time, it was very lively....
"Uh! The things in this palace are good, some can't control their mouths to eat, it's getting dark outside, when will the banquet start?"
The fat man burped and asked, the hall was full of people, the people sitting together were very talkative, and there were many performances arranged in the center of the stage, but for the fat man, a foodie, the food was more tempting, this is not The banquet has not yet begun to get into the main topic, he has already filled his stomach.
"Mu Yunzong has arrived!"
"The Yundan Sect presiding elder has arrived!"
"The Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect has arrived!"
......
The little eunuch shouted at the throat of the male duck, there are more than a dozen Dana who came today, and this has to be reported one by one, showing respect, the voice is a little hoarse, and the ears are spicy!
Lin Xiao covered his ears, anyway, their corner is inconspicuous, and they are not afraid of being seen, the emperor also arrived early, and as soon as those big masters arrived, they licked their faces and greeted them at the door with a smile, and everyone present also stood up and saluted respectfully.
"This night can be described as very lively! Everyone doesn't have to be restrained, and there is no need to be formal when you sit casually!" Sect Master Muyun, as the first major sect, symbolically started the beginning, signaling everyone to take their seats one after another.
And the center of the stage has already played music again, starting a new round of performances, the dancers are all beautiful, dancing, gradually attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Xiao was not very interested, only occasionally glanced at it or two, and everyone was fascinated, if he was out of place, those who were looking for trouble would definitely start to provoke again.
This banquet had just begun, and an annoying voice came into Lin Xiao's ears.
"You poor boy used to hide here, no wonder Ben Shao has never found a trace of you in the front row, you are born into three, six, nine and so on, even if you are brilliant? Born in a small country, you can only be excluded in the corners of the main hall!"
Duanmulin pursed his lips and sneered, as soon as he entered the main hall, he caught a glimpse of Lin Xiao squatting in the corner, and his heart was relieved, no, he couldn't help but come over and taunt a few words at the beginning of the banquet.
Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Hao also came with a wine glass, such a rare opportunity, he must step on this boy who does not know the height of the sky and suppress his sharp spirit.
"So, some people who don't know the height of the sky must know their own position, only those who grow up are called geniuses, like you, who think that you have a little ability and just look at everything, it is easy to die halfway!"
"You two .... Hmm!" Zhang Yuanyuan was angry, and was about to open his mouth to help Lin Xiao, but was covered by the fat man.
"Shhhhhhhh The fat man whispered to Zhang Yuanyuan that Lin Xiao was not easy to mess with, and they came to the door several times but did not return in vain.
"Are you too idle to do anything? Come here to taunt you next?" Lin Xiao looked at them calmly and asked coldly, as if they were the clowns who jumped off the beam, and then, Lin Xiao was about to reach out and take the wine jug that the maid served.
Duanmulin was furious, and after snatching the pot of wine first, he clenched his fists and scolded coldly: "It's really arrogant, you kid from a poor country deserve to drink this wine?"
The maid looked at the secret path and was a little frightened, her hands were already nervously pinched into a cold sweat, she knelt on the ground, lowered her head and whispered cowardly:
"Childe, this wine was specially prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the minions of Lin Gongzi and the others, if you want to drink it, the minions will go down and prepare it for you?"
"Ben Shao wants this pot, do you dare to give it?" Duanmulin was very domineering, glared at the maid, and said intimidatingly.
"The slave doesn't dare!" said the maid tremblingly.
"Brother Duanmu, let's go back first, tomorrow is the finals, and it's not too late to teach him a good lesson!" Ouyang Hao also had a gloomy face at this time, and pulled Duanmu Lin and reminded him coldly, their voices were a little loud, and it was not good for fear of attracting everyone's attention.
After all, they come from a first-class country and have a noble status, and if they are found to be bullying the weak, it will be undignified.
"Yes, I'll let you go today, hum! Wait for Ben Shao tomorrow!" Duanmulin finished speaking, turned around and strode away.
"I'm sorry everyone, but the servant will go down and prepare a jug of wine for you!" After the two men had left, the maid got up and hurriedly took her leave.
