Chapter 48: Bleak Moonlight (1)

Xiao Yu's face did not change, and she quietly held Liang Naixin's soft under the seat, lest she be provoked by Concubine Qing's words to do something. Liang Naixin is also a smart person, and he immediately sobered up as soon as he was shaken by Xiao Yu, and lowered his head as if he was aggrieved and did not refute.

The tacit understanding between them was full, Concubine Qing sneered, leaned back to Xiao Feng again, and said to him coquettishly: "Your Majesty, it seems that the concubine is pleasing the prince." ”

Xiao Feng was in poor spirits, and his words were extremely reluctant and perfunctory: "The concubine is too worried, the prince will not mean this." With that, his gaze turned to Xiao Yu, as if there was invisible pressure to force Xiao Yu to comply.

Xiao Yu is not favored, Concubine Qing is favored, this is clear to both the palace and the outside, at this moment, seeing that the two of them seem to have a posture on the bar, everyone stopped their movements and looked at them carefully.

"Erchen has worried Concubine Qing." Xiao Yu raised her head and smiled lightly at Qing Feiyun, as if she didn't notice the dark waves surging in it at all. "But Jin'er and Naixin are not bad, and they can't even insert me when they talk together."

"Where is the concubine like this?" Before Xiao Yu's words fell, Liang Naixin promptly offered a coquettish complaint, and performed this scene very sincerely.

The plan didn't work, and Concubine Qing was not angry, she still looked at Xiao Yu and Liang Naixin with a smile. Tonight's good show has just begun, Xiao Yu is proud now, and she is afraid that she won't even have a place to cry after a while, so she waits slowly, waits well, and waits for the climax to come.

As soon as the hall was quiet, I saw a little palace maid stumbling in from outside the hall, and she was very flustered all the way.

"Will you die? Dare to be presumptuous in the palace! Biwen took out the posture of the big palace maid of Qiwu Palace, and took the lead in standing up and reprimanding the little palace maid.

The little palace maid blushed, pointed to the outside of the hall, and didn't say a reason. Biwen looked at her like that, and her anger was even greater, and she wanted to reprimand her again, but she was stopped by Concubine Qing neither softly nor hard.

"Jiang Yin, give her a drink, let her say something slowly."

Jiang Yin got the order of Concubine Qing, crossed Biwen to the side of the little palace maid, patted her on the back affectionately, and helped her to calm her breath.

The little palace maid was frightened at first, but after a short rest, she relieved herself and explained: "When the slave maid passed by the side hall, she saw a person lying outside the temple gate. The slave maid stepped forward and shook her, but the person was not awake, and the slave and maid carried the lantern and looked at it, like Aunt Ruyu beside the crown princess. The slave also saw that her forehead was covered with blood, and she was afraid that it was...... I'm afraid I'm out of gas. "Living in the deep palace, there are many rumors about dead people, but it is the first time to see a dead person with her own eyes, so this little palace maid is such a frightened look.

"Ruyu?" Xiao Yu was also stunned, and turned her head to look at Liang Naixin beside her, her face full of shock.

"No wonder the crown princess hasn't come back for so long, could it be ......" Jiang Yin read softly at the right time, but the last half of the sentence covered her mouth and didn't dare to say it.

"陛xià." Concubine Qing was startled and looked at Xiao Feng with a frightened expression. "Do you want the palace guards to search carefully, I'm afraid that there are assassins in the palace!"

Xiao Feng looked tired, he thought that he would hold on for a while longer and then go back to the Longqian Hall to rest, but he never thought that such a thing would happen. He didn't expect this assassin to be so bold and dare to sneak into the inner palace, I don't know if this assassin has an internal response in the palace, and I don't know how many people this assassin has come, is it aimed at him? He rubbed his forehead and fell into his own contemplation, and he didn't answer when he heard Concubine Qing's words.

"Your Majesty ......" Xiao Chen looked at the tiredness and boredom on his face, and called him softly: "Your Majesty is unwell, so let's go back to the Longqian Hall to rest first." There is the crown prince and the main palace, even if there is a thief, he will not escape! ”

Xiao Feng glanced at her, saw the deep worry in her eyes, nodded at her as soon as her heart softened, and stretched out her hand to summon Concubine Rong who was sitting down to get up and leave.

"陛xià." Seeing his actions, Concubine Qing hurriedly stopped in front of him and persuaded softly: "There is still some distance to go to the Longqian Palace, what if that assassin is ambushed on the road that must be passed?" The concubine felt that His Majesty should rest in the palace for a while, and let the palace guards search before returning to the Longqian Palace. ”

Xiao Feng was silent when he heard this, but the pace under his feet stopped. Seeing this, Concubine Rong obediently helped him back to his seat.

"Erchen is willing to go with the palace guards to find out!" Xiao Yuli abandoned the original smile on his face, stood solemnly, and asked Xiao Feng for his life.

Concubine Qing glanced at her son, and sighed softly beside Xiao Feng: "Your Majesty let Li'er go, he, he always likes to do things by himself, especially for His Majesty's affairs, he must do everything personally, and he is not at ease when others do it." ”

Xiao Feng raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuli, and after a moment, he waved at him and granted his request.

"Erchen is also willing to go!" Xiao Yu saw that Xiao Yuli had succeeded, and she also stood up and asked for her life. However, his behavior was a mistake, reflecting Xiao Yuli's filial piety and his own ridiculousness, and others quietly shook their heads when they saw it. Sure enough, Xiao Feng only glanced at him and waved his hand impatiently.

Xiao Yu didn't seem to see the strange eyes of others, and walked directly behind Xiao Yuli towards the outside of the hall.

The moonlight was deep, the singing and music in the hall had stopped, and the huge palace was quiet except for the flickering lights.

Xiao Yuli glanced at Xiao Yu out of the corner of his eyes, smiled coldly in his heart, and looked at Chen Cheng, the leader of the palace guards who hurried outside the hall. He didn't give in and gave orders to Chen Cheng as if Xiao Yu were transparent. And two of the palace guards who were waiting outside the hall before had already gone to the door of the side hall and carried Ruyu, whose face was covered with blood, to the eaves outside the hall.

Ruyu lay lifeless on the cold ground, and the red light of the lantern on the eaves fell on her face, revealing a strange picture. She is an old man who has followed Xiao Yu for many years, and Xiao Yu was also full of heartache the moment he saw her, he was supported by Guo Housheng and paused by her side, and closed her round eyes with his own hands.

"Hoo ......"

Outside the unusually quiet hall, this cry seemed piercing.

Xiao Yu looked at the "corpse" lying in front of her in disbelief, only to see that her eyes that had just been closed by herself slowly opened again, and her eyes flashed with joy for the rest of her life.

"Temple...... Your Highness ......" She stretched out her hand towards Xiao Yu, but the pain in her head hit again and again, making her unable to speak completely.

"Quick! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Xiao Yu got up happily and called eagerly to the people around her.

"What the hell is going on!" Xiao Yuli also noticed Ruyu's awakening, he was the first to claim in front of Xiao Feng just now that he wanted to find the assassin, and of course he had to be the first person to ask Ruyu at this time.
