The moonlight was shining, and Jiang Xiaoyu walked slowly on the road, with thoughts floating on his face.

"The banquet is about to begin, why are you here?" A voice came from the darkness, Jiang Xiaoyu raised her eyes, and saw Zhao Yan walking towards her.

"Nothing!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head gently, "I just helped the princess deal with some things, and now that the matter is done, I am planning to go back!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, "Did you see any suspicious people just now?" ”

"Suspicious people?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes rolled, "No!" Is something happening? ”

"I just checked the security around us, and I saw a person sneaky, so I followed!" Zhao Yan said, "This matter is related to the safety of my father and grandmother, I can't be sloppy, I'll go to inspect again, you go back quickly!" ”

"Well, good!"

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and was about to leave, but Zhao Yan stopped him.

"What's wrong? Anything else? Jiang Xiaoyu turned around and asked.

Zhao Yan's brows frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Xiaoyu fixedly, and said, "It's okay, be careful!" ”

"Okay, so are you!" After Jiang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

When it was time for the banquet to start, Jiang Xiaoyu returned to the banquet hall and sat next to Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling saw that she was gasping slightly, and asked with concern: "I didn't see your figure just now, where did you go?" But what happened? ”

"Nope!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, "It's just to help Princess Jingyun deal with a little thing, it's okay now, it's okay!" ”

"That's good!" Zhao Ling thought for a while and said, "The second princess was born in the royal family since she was a child, and she is naturally familiar with these things, and you don't have to compare them with her, if you want to take care of things, the Chu Palace's mansion can be handed over to you to take care of, and you will naturally become familiar with these things in the future!" ”

"Are you afraid that I will have low self-esteem!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "I don't like this kind of trouble the most!" ”

Zhao Ling squeezed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and laughed softly: "Who told you to marry into the heavenly family, even if it is troublesome, but it is always unavoidable, there are always some banquets between noble ladies, and now there is Aunt Liu to help you, but it is my wife, you always have to be alone, even if it is some trouble, I have to make you bother!" I know you're not here, I've wronged you! ”

"Come on, I don't like these things, it's not that I won't, even if I can't, I can learn, the so-called marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a son always has to share some of your burden, I can't always let you stand in front of me at all times!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a slight smile, his eyes swept over the banquet hall, and he saw that everyone who should have come was almost there.

In front of her sat the eldest princess and his wife, but the eldest grandson Chi was not seen, the eldest princess sat on the right hand of Princess Xiuwen, Princess Xiuwen's eyes were cold and indifferent, and she couldn't arouse some interest in talking to the royal sister around her, and the eldest princess sat on the left hand side of the three princes, who were alone and drank wine expressionlessly, and their eyes did not glance at other people.

On her side is the Jin Wang's family, the old princess has a kind smile, Zhao Qian looks very bored, the county lord of Qiwen has probably done what Princess Jingyun ordered, and rushed over, sat down after saying goodbye to the concubine, and winked at her.

As for the other royal relatives, they sat down in this way, and occasionally a few people whispered to each other.

"The Queen Mother has arrived! Your Majesty has arrived! With a shrill shout, the crowd stood up and knelt down.

Emperor Zhou and the Queen Mother walked over slowly, and Sun Hu, the prince of Qiyang, followed behind them, and after taking a seat, Emperor Zhou said loudly: "Today is a family banquet, they are all family, no need to be polite, let's get up!" ”

Everyone got up and took their seats, and then Emperor Zhou said a few words, and everyone congratulated him.

"This year is also an eventful season, a lot of things have happened, and our heavenly family also has joys and sorrows!" The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Today, we will gather together as a family, talk about intimate words, today we are not monarchs and ministers, or a family, what can not be said between our families, what is in our hearts, the big guys can also talk about it!" ”

That being said, it's just that no one dares to really regard Her Majesty the Queen Mother as a family, but just say some festive words about singing and dancing to please the Queen Mother.

What should be said has been said, in order to avoid the cold scene, it is time for the dancing girl to appear, one by one beauties on the stage, and the willow waist attracts everyone's attention.

There are three dances in a row, each with its own characteristics, and those present can be regarded as well-informed, and they can't help but applaud when they see this.

The sound of silk and bamboo is endless, the water sleeve dance of the dancers on the field is extremely graceful, when everyone is intoxicated with their dancing, only to see a person in the water show towards Emperor Zhou and threw it over, the soft sleeves are like willow waists, which could have been used for flirting, but no one thought that there was a dagger hidden in this soft water sleeve!

"Father, be careful!"

A little cold swept over, and Zhao Yan, who was closest to Emperor Zhou, was the first to discover the danger, and kicked the table in front of him away, and the table stopped the water sleeve that the dancing girl threw over, only to see that the table was instantly torn apart!

At this time, the dancers also took out daggers from their boots and attacked Emperor Zhou one after another.

Zhao Yan drew his sword and shouted: "Escort!" Protect the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother! ”

After the words fell, he immediately got up and fought with them, only Zhao Yan was able to carry weapons among the people present, and then others such as Zhao Ye and Zhao Ling and Zhao Qian also got up at the same time, and stopped the dancing girl before the guards arrived.

The martial arts of these dancing girls are not very clever, they have the intention of surprise, if they miss a blow, there is no possibility of success! Although these people said women, they were quite bloody, fighting to the death, of course, they took the step of killing the king, but they didn't think about getting out alive!

Although Zhao Ling and the others suppressed them on top of martial arts, they must not be cautious!

Blood stained their clothes red, and murderous aura permeated the banquet hall that should have been supposed to be a song and swallow dance.

The Imperial Guards surrounded them, they had no chance of success, but they never intended to be captured, and after anticipating the consequences of being captured alive, they chose to end their lives themselves!

The women around screamed and took a few steps back, so as not to be splashed with this blood, and comforted each other with palpitations, it is a big crime to assassinate the emperor in front of him, and they looked at the second princess with sympathy at the same time, this matter was arranged by her, and she is a foreigner, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame!

Lord Qiwen quietly took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and asked in a low voice, "Master, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, let's see!"

"Keep your mouth alive!" Emperor Zhou looked at a few dancing girls coldly and shouted coldly.

His Majesty spoke, Zhao Yan's long sword came out, cutting off the wrist of the dancing girl who was about to commit suicide, the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter, and the Imperial Forest Army rushed up and pressed her to the ground, she struggled, but she would not be suppressed more ruthlessly!

"Who sent you to assassinate?" Emperor Zhou asked coldly.

Although the dancing girl was pressed to the ground, she laughed coldly: "We dare to act, Dog Emperor, you brutalized Zhongliang, we are avenging General Bai!" ”

"The Bai family?" Emperor Zhou whispered silently, his face was dark, and he couldn't see any expression.

And as soon as Wu Ji's words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Xiaoyu's body, and they speculated one after another, wondering if this matter was related to her, and I didn't know if His Majesty would be angry with her because of this matter!

"Take it down and torture it severely!" Emperor Zhou said coldly.

The Royal Forest Army dragged the dancing girl down, but at this time, a hidden weapon flew out of nowhere, and it ingested the center of the dancing girl's eyebrows, and the dancing girl fell to the ground and died.

This killing people in front of Emperor Zhou may have made Emperor Zhou angry even more than the assassination itself, but he couldn't see it on his face at all, and the Imperial Forest Army had already taken action to control all the people who should be controlled. The people here are nobles, and no matter who is injured, it is a big deal, so almost everyone takes action!

The environment of the palace has never been so tense.

The assassination of the emperor was a shock to the government and the opposition, but the wind in the capital finally blew violently?

Who did this? I don't know how many people will be implicated in this matter again!

And the speed of the palace people was extremely fast, and they quickly took off the corpse in the banquet hall, wiped the blood away, and the food and fruits were arranged, except for the expressions of the people, all the evidence that could prove the assassination that had just happened disappeared in an instant.

The sound of silk and bamboo has already stopped, everyone does not dare to speak, the huge banquet hall is as quiet as in the deep sea, the atmosphere does not dare to come out, carefully looking at the faces of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, the only person with the same face as usual, I am afraid that there is only Qi Yanggong alone!

Zhao Ling had already quietly come to Jiang Xiaoyu's side, grabbed her hand, and whispered in her ear: "There is a ghost in this matter, Your Majesty must understand in your heart, don't be afraid, I am by my side!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

"It's the concubine's poor arrangement, let the assassin get in, the concubine is guilty, please punish my father and grandmother!" In the silence, Princess Jingyun came to Emperor Zhou and the Queen Mother to plead guilty.

Zhao Yan did not shirk it, and knelt down with his wife to ask for the same crime, it was his poor protection that gave the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of.

Emperor Zhou played with the cup in his hand, glanced at the couple below, and said, "If it weren't for the second child's alertness, how could I sit here so peacefully?" The second child has a meritorious rescue! The truth of this matter still needs to be investigated, so you guys will get up first! ”

"Yes, Father!"

Just as Zhao Yan and Princess Jingyun stood up, Zhao Ye suddenly covered his chest and spit out a mouthful of black blood!

"Ahh Another scream came, "The third prince has been poisoned!" ”
