Chapter 24: Reward
When everyone was shocked, only Zhen Xi was in a daze!
She recalled in her mind again and again the tricks of the assassin who had just taken the lead, as well as the cold eyes, she was sure that it was her master Yun Shi, and only Yun Shi would have such cold eyes, that kind of coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow!
It's just that she can't figure out why, they will leave such a bloody veil and leave, is it for the dismount of the eldest grandson? Or is it a reminder of something?
Thinking about it again, what if they encounter such a situation in the future, what if it is Chu Beili who they want to assassinate? Does she insist on her mission to protect him, or does she insist on terms that do not run counter to the Moon Full Building?
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Chu Beili.
His handsome and sculpted face, a few brushes of ink fluttering beside his cheeks, he was drinking tea with a faint expression, more like the person in the painting.
For a moment, Zhen Xi was distracted, she pinched herself, and looked at him again, only to find that he was also looking sideways at her, with an evil smile on his face.
"Madame also thinks that this king is good-looking?"
"Cut!" Although I have to admit that he was quite handsome for a few seconds just now, it's just that as soon as he speaks, he ruins everything! How can anyone be so narcissistic?
"By the way, do you know about Concubine Liu?" Yun Shi came over in person, either it was related to him or it was related to the iron mask!
"Concubine Liu was also a holy favor back then, she was the first concubine to conceive a dragon heir, and successfully gave birth to a dragon son, but ...... Guess what's going on? Chu Beili suddenly asked mysteriously.
"It should be, let's die!"
Favored by the saint and born a dragon son, if the mother family is strong, she will definitely be the best choice for the queen.
However, Zhen Xi heard that the first prince died not long after he was born, and it is estimated that he was deserved to die by those who were red-eyed, so this Concubine Liu must not be much better.
"Clever!"
After all, they have come to take revenge today! What revenge does not die?
"The dragon son died three days after he was born, and Concubine Liu couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide by jumping into the well, and the Liu family has been defeated since then." Chu Beili's voice became low.
"Whether she jumped into the well or was sunk by someone, it's hard to say!" Zhen Xi said to herself, after all, everyone was shocked, presumably she should be a victim of deceit in the six courtyards of the deep palace.
Chu Beili looked at the woman in front of him and felt a little incredible, how could the woman in the rivers and lakes who grew up practicing martial arts still understand these deceitful things?
"Who do you think these assassins are today?" Zhen Xi was thinking, could it be that Tie Mian is Concubine Liu's son? Unlikely, he didn't even survive three days. Will the tanuki be exchanged for the prince? Zhen Xi thought about many possibilities, but she still couldn't figure out why her master would appear in this assassination.
"Who knows?" Chu Beili's expression was indifferent, and he didn't know if he really didn't know or not.
"Forget it, how can you know this from a person who doesn't listen to things outside the window and is only in the gentle township."
While they were chatting, the palace ladies and eunuchs had already cleaned up the messy banquet hall that had been frightened by the assassins.
"Kid, come forward." The Queen Mother beckoned to Zhen Xi with a kind face.
Zhen Xi stepped forward and was about to kneel, but was stopped by the Queen Mother: "You don't have to salute, come and come." ”
So, Zhen Xi obediently took a few steps forward, and the Queen Mother took Zhen Xi's hand and said, "Good boy, what's your name?" ”
Everyone was shocked when they saw the Queen Mother's move.
"The concubine's surname is Zhen Mingxi."
The Queen Mother gently patted the back of Zhen Xi's hand and said, "Xi'er, the Mourning family felt that we were destined at the first glance when they looked at you, if you hadn't protected the Mourning family in time this time, I am afraid that the old bones of the Mourning family would have fallen apart," the Queen Mother said and turned her head to the emperor and said, "Emperor, what do you say is good to reward Xi'er?" ”
Zhen Xi's heart is overjoyed, and there is a reward? This time I entered the palace to make a fortune.
"Although Mrs. Zhen is just a lady, her grade is not high, but she is talented, superb in martial arts, courageous and resourceful, and she really wants to be rewarded well." The Emperor nodded.
"Since you are strong in martial arts, then I will give you a sword." The Emperor ordered the sword to be presented.
This sword is made of good black iron, the sword is two feet eight long, the sword is three fingers wide, the fiery red sword body, clearly reflects the golden lines, the red hilt, fluttering more than an inch long red silk, and the scabbard, finely carved these auspicious clouds, and a round of fiery red sun.
Zhen Xi looked at the round sun, inexplicably a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it.
"This sword was given to me by the lord of the Sun Yao Kingdom, I don't know martial arts, and it's useless to keep it, so I gave it to you."
Gifted by the Lord of the Sun Dynasty? It should be something precious! Zhen Xi seems to have a good eye for this sword, and he likes it at first sight.
Zhen Xi knelt down to receive the reward, although he liked it, but he said: "Your Majesty, such a valuable gift, the concubine deserves it." ”
"It's valuable, but I want it to be used rather than idle."
"Then the concubine is respectful, it is better to obey her fate." Zhen Xi smiled slightly, but his heart was already happy, for those who practice martial arts, the sword is the best friend, rather than giving money, it is better to do what he likes.
"It's not too early, that's all for today's banquet, after the banquet, I don't want to hear something I shouldn't hear."
The emperor didn't want to spread something, those assassins obviously came to the eldest grandson queen, maybe the case of Concubine Liu jumping into the well back then had nothing to do with her, but before this matter was investigated, it must not be spread out, this is a royal scandal, and it has far-reaching consequences.
After the queen mother and the emperor left the table, everyone also left the table one after another.
Zhen Xi was the person who received the most rewards at this banquet, and the Queen Mother seemed to like her very much, and the eyes of the officials and family members looking at Zhen Xi were very different from the contempt when they first entered the banquet.
