Chapter Forty-Four: Someone, Oh No!
As soon as Xu Shuhuai came, everyone's eyes fell on him, and they all wanted to see what this man who was rumored to have a broken friendship with Prince Hong looked like.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, a tall and thin maid slipped into the crowd and quietly hid behind the screen of Xitang......
This maid is none other than Yulu.
Two days ago, she was knocked unconscious at the inn and woke up in the Qingyin Palace.
Xu Gongzi of Qingyin Hall said that her young lady was about to marry Prince Hong instead of Xu Yuanyu......
Although this is very consistent with the suspicions in her heart, she always feels that Xu Gongzi has other plans, and what she says cannot be trusted.
It wasn't until she heard the voice of the person in the sedan chair that she realized that Xu Gongzi was not lying - the sedan chair was really not Princess Jiaoyu, but Xu Qingqing!
Xu Gongzi said that Xu Qingqing was seriously injured and sick again and again due to Prince Hong's cruel treatment, and his body was so thin that he could not be human, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die soon.
Xu Gongzi also said that he would send someone to make trouble at the wedding banquet, so that she would have the opportunity to take Xu Qingqing to escape from Prince Hong's mansion and fly away......
Yulu didn't understand why this person was so kind, and it wasn't until she heard about Prince Hong's "short-sleeved friendship" with him that she suddenly understood - this person was thinking about her young lady, and he was clearly planning for himself.
Thinking about it, Xu Gongzi must not be happy to watch Prince Hong marry a wife, and it is a good thing for him to be able to drive away the woman next to Prince Hong.
Yulu thought about it and decided to join forces with this person.
She listened to the movement behind the screen with trepidation, waiting for Xu Shuhuai to make a mess at the banquet as promised, leading the young lady behind the screen, waiting to recognize the young lady, and then taking advantage of the chaos to escape from the backyard of Prince Hong's mansion, waiting for the carriage that had been prepared to arrive in time and pick up the young lady with herself......
Holding his breath, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
Yulu was startled, and before he could turn around, he was tightly covered by someone......
At the same time, the concubine outside the screen shouted joyfully: "Worship heaven and earth—"
Xu Qingqing bit her lip to stabilize her mind, her mind was still calm when she didn't get off the sedan chair, and the more she came to the moment of worshipping heaven and earth, the more her heart beat suddenly.
Inexplicably flustered, for no reason.
Fingers suddenly warmed, and someone grabbed her.
The palm was very thick, and she was slightly calloused because she often practiced martial arts, and suddenly, she felt a little more at ease.
Is it Lin Hongyi?
It must be him...... Who else but him?
She didn't know that at this moment, there were a pair of slender eyes, staring at the hands of the two of them, and their eyes were as cold as a donkey.
"The Second Worship Hall—"
Gao Tang is naturally the new emperor and the queen, but these two people did not leave the palace, there was no one on the seat, only two portraits hung on the wall.
The new emperor ascended the throne, the country is not stable, and he will not leave the palace for the time being, if there are rebellious ministers and thieves waiting for the opportunity to ambush and want to kill the king, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Husband and wife worship each other—"
Xi Po helped Xu Qingqing to the side and turned to Lin Hongyi.
At this moment, Xu Shuhuai under the seat covered his face with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, and the eunuch Yao Shun beside him quietly had a stone in his hand, and with a twist of his wrist, the stone flew straight towards the screen.
There was a bang, and the huge screen fell to the ground without warning.
Everyone was shocked.
There was a gloomy smile in Xu Shuhuai's eyes, and the veil almost didn't cover the corners of his lips - just a Xu Qingqing, dare to fight with him?
It's just a dispensable ant, even if you trample it to death!
However, after the screen landed, there was no one behind it, and the maid named Yulu was long gone.
Xu Shuhuai's face changed suddenly.
"Princess Niangniang......" Seeing that Xu Qingqing was startled by this movement, she was stunned and did not move, and Xi Po whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Husband and wife bow to each other—" the lady shouted again.
Xu Qingqing bowed, and then was held by someone and helped him up.
"Licheng, send it to the cave room!"
Xi Po hugged her and pushed open the door of the wedding room......
At the same time, in the side hall not far from Xitang, Mu Zhao stared at the woman in front of him and asked, "Say, who are you!" ”
Although the woman avoided the guards, she did not escape the eyes of His Highness, who saw that she was sneakily hiding behind the screen, so he ordered him to arrest her and interrogate her carefully.
Mu Zhao didn't dare to disturb the chapel, so he didn't make any noise, and took the woman to the side hall with her mouth covered.
"I ...... I'm a palace maid......" Yulu stammered, obviously frightened.
"If you are a palace maid, why don't you wear palace clothes?" Lin Hongyi asked coldly.
He strode from the front hall, a auspicious suit had not yet been changed, the bright red of the auspicious suit did not add a trace of warmth to the cold face, and the chilling aura around him made Yulu tremble even more.
Palace clothes?
What palace clothes does she have?
"I see that you have unknown origins and ill intentions, and I am afraid that you will not tell the truth if you are not tortured?" Lin Hongyi asked.
"I ...... I'm really a palace maid, I'm here to give a congratulatory gift to Miss Xu. Yulu explained tremblingly.
Fortunately, that Xu Gongzi thought thoughtfully, and she was suspicious, so he specially gave her a congratulatory gift to help her get by.
"Open." Lin Hongyi commanded.
Mu Zhao stepped forward and took the sandalwood box in Yulu's hand.
The box is exquisitely crafted, carved with moire, and covered with soft gold satin.
There is an object on the satin, white jade, four inches in circumference, on the New York hand over five dragons, engraved with the words "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang".
Mu Zhao was startled, and the box in his hand almost fell to the ground.
This is...... The heirloom jade seal of the previous dynasty?
"What a congratulatory gift!" Lin Hongyi was furious, "Say, where did you get this jade seal, who told you to frame the princess?" ”
No one has the courage to frame him, even so, it can only be to deal with Xu Qingqing.
On the day of the wedding, his woman turned out to be a fish on a knife, which made him not angry!
Yulu saw the thing clearly, and her face turned pale.
What Xu Gongzi prepared for her was clearly a goddess of mercy elephant, how could it become the jade seal of the previous dynasty?
No, something seems wrong......
Why did the screen slam to the ground behind her as soon as she was taken out of the wedding hall?
If she hadn't been noticed by Prince Hong's men, everyone would have seen her sneakily standing behind the screen.
Once she calls herself a palace maid and offers the "congratulatory gift" in her hand, the consequences are simply unimaginable, not only can she not save her life, but she will also be framed into the old party of the former dynasty.
The young lady is kind-hearted and is bound to save her.
But the new emperor has a will, and the old party of the previous dynasty would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.
Forming a party for personal gain, killing without forgiveness;
Privately hiding jade seals, killing without forgiveness;
In case the identity of the young lady is revealed, the crime of pretending to be Xu Yuanyu to deceive the monarch will be confirmed, and there will be no forgiveness!
One wrong step, one wrong step......
With this jade seal of the former dynasty, as long as the young lady has something to do with her, it will be difficult to protect herself, so how can she save her?
In this way, where did Xu Shuhuai want Miss to fly away, he was obviously using her as bait to put Miss to death!
What a deep scheming, such a vicious scheme......
Yulu only felt his heart pounding - if this scene was exposed to the public, there would be no room for recovery.
Fortunately, she met Prince Hong, perhaps...... Maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
She gritted her teeth, and was about to reveal the conspiracy and tricks of Xu Shuhuai, when the wind suddenly hit her ears.
Lin Hongyi's eyes froze, and he immediately drew his sword.
However, he was wearing a auspicious garment today, and he did not wear any sword on his body.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhao also reacted, and he hurriedly reached out to grab Yulu, but unfortunately it was too late.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a dark arrow pierced Yulu's neck, blood dripping, bright red with a strange purple tinge - the arrow was clearly poisonous.
Mu Zhao looked up and saw that there was a dark shadow on the beam at some point.
The man leapt toward the front yard, leaving only a vague back.
Soon, even the back disappeared behind the rockery......
"Put away the corpse and keep quiet!" Lin Hongyi knew that the matter was serious, and ordered coldly, turned around and chased.
Unexpectedly, before the words fell, a terrible scream suddenly came from not far away: "Come on, it's not good, die...... Dead, dead, dead! ”
It was Wen Yao, who had just received fifty slaps.
She covered her swollen and red face and came to the backyard to find a doctor to apply medicine, and just after taking the medicine, she bumped into such a scene, and she couldn't help but be so frightened that her legs were weak and trembling like chaff.
