Chapter Twenty-Seven: Blood Splattered in the Temple of Eternal Peace
"White girl, don't mind, Hao'er listened to a story in a book, and when she sees a woman with a veil, she always has to ask if someone is a fairy." Jing Guiren explained on the side.
"What is Hao'er looking for Sister Fairy?" Bai Xiyue looked at the lonely little group, and the expression on her face involuntarily softened.
"Hao'er wants the fairy sister to take me and my mother out of the palace, to watch tricks, eat sugar gourds, and see the scenery outside the palace." Xiao Tuanzi said with a serious face.
Maybe his expression was too innocent, Bai Xiyue felt compassion, "Although I am not a fairy, but my sister knows where the fairy is, I will tell her your wish, as long as Hao'er obediently listens to her mother, she will definitely help you realize your wish." ”
"Really!" Xiao Tuanzi's expression lit up instantly!
"Really!" Bai Xiyue said in an extremely serious tone.
"By the way, I haven't asked Miss Bai why she came here alone." Jing Guiren spoke.
suffered, one stick of incense, now it's about the time of two sticks of incense, "Jing Guiren, I'm lost, do you know how to go back?" Bai Xiyue hurriedly asked.
Jing Guiren sent her all the way to the stone road outside the palace and left.
Bai Xiyue hurriedly returned to the banquet, and after sitting down, she glanced at Gu Yichen, and saw that he didn't mean to ask, so she didn't open her mouth to explain.
At this time, the performances of the concubines have also ended, and several young princes and princesses have been taken away by the nurses.
"Your Majesty, it's time to light the sky lantern." The queen reminded from the side.
The emperor didn't know whether he was happy or what, he drank a few more glasses, and he was a little drunk at the moment. But it looks relatively sober.
"Then move to the Yonghe Palace!"
Before Bai Xiyue entered the palace, Mrs. Bai told her the process of the palace banquet many times, and this sky lantern was the last step.
Finally coming to an end, Bai Xiyue pushed Gu Yichen to follow the emperor very familiarly, during which she received arrogant eyes from Wang Ziying from time to time, and the group arrived at Yonghe Hall in a mighty way.
After entering, there were several palace maids standing in front of the statue with sky lanterns, the so-called sky lanterns were bigger than ordinary lamps, and they were more fancy, at least Bai Xiyue couldn't see anything special.
After the emperor cleaned his hands, he took the incense candle handed by the queen and lit the glycerin at the bottom of the sky lantern, and the whole lamp was lit up in an instant, and several eunuchs pulled up the lamp together, ready to hang it on the pillar at the top of the Yonghe Palace.
This lantern will be hung for a year, representing reunion, and will not be taken down until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, and then a new one will be hung.
Suddenly, a hidden weapon broke the rope, and the sky lantern fell from mid-air, hitting the ground and instantly catching fire.
A group of men in black rushed down from the rooftop.
"There are assassins, escort quickly!" Grandpa Xia was the first to react and shouted out the door.
The guards outside the Yonghe Hall and the guards patrolling nearby all rushed in, and for a while the spacious hall was a little crowded, and at this time, the man in black had already fought with the guards.
Bai Xiyue was very close to the sky lantern, and when she found that the situation was wrong, she quickly pushed Gu Yichen to hide behind a large pillar, next to the window, and she could escape from the window when the situation was in crisis.
"Lord Wang, does anyone really dare to assassinate in the palace?" Bai Xiyue asked, nestled next to the pillar.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the more you know, the faster you'll die!" Gu Yichen lowered his eyes and looked at the woman nesting in the corner like a kitten.
Bai Xiyue felt a chill on the back of her neck, but it was just a temptation, so vigilant, it seems that even if the regent has no military power, his strength should not be underestimated.
This group of assassins is the best proof that hundreds of guards can't catch a dozen people, and the emperor doesn't manage them very well.
However, this also made Bai Xiyue feel a lot more at ease, and when she returned to modern times in two years, the regent would be able to protect the Bai Mansion.
"Bang!" A wounded guard fell in front of the two of them, blood splattered on Bai Xiyue's veil.
"Help, help me! I don't want to die yet! The guard said weakly, covering his wounds.
"Alert! Alert! Someone is calling for help! At the same time, Bai Xiyue's palm began to flash blue light, and the doctor's system also issued a prompt.
How can this be saved! Bai Xiyue retracted her hand into her sleeve, blocking the light, she looked at Gu Yichen, and saw that he was staring at the guard with the eyes of a dead man.
Even if Gu Yichen agrees, this person can't be saved, there are no tools, no medicine, do you want to take things out of the doctor's system in front of them, if you do this, it is estimated that you will be lying there.
After a while, the man was silent, Bai Xiyue looked over, the wound was in the abdomen, and there was already a large pool of blood under his body, it was estimated that he had lost too much blood and went into shock, or died.
Gu Yichen kept watching her reaction, if she dared to save people, she would definitely kill her mercilessly, he didn't need a regent princess who was not indistinguishable from me.
To Gu Yichen's surprise, Bai Xiyue's reaction was the opposite, not only did she not save people, she did not panic and feel guilty, but she calmly watched the guard die, which is not like the reaction that a boudoir woman should have.
"Why don't you save him!" Gu Yichen asked.
As soon as Bai Xiyue looked up, she saw the demon mask, those eyes stared at her, looking straight at the soul, and instantly she became nervous, and she felt that her life was in danger.
"Prime Minister Bai's daughter doesn't know how to heal." Bai Xiyue pretended to be calm and said.
Gu Yichen couldn't find anything wrong with this answer, so he didn't speak.
Bai Xiyue's hanging heart was put down, how can she say it to show her sincerity, and not reveal that she knows that the assassin is the regent, it is really a skill, but it is good to pass the test.
A large number of guards poured into the Yonghe Palace, and the figure of the man in black was almost invisible, but the emperor just couldn't get out, once he got close to the palace gate, the guards who protected the emperor would be killed with a knife, and he could only keep stalemate.
After another hour of incense, the Guards arrived, and when the Assassins saw the elite soldiers coming, they jumped out of the windows, and the sound of sharp arrows was heard outside.
When the surroundings were quiet, Bai Xiyue pushed Gu Yichen and walked out, and only then could he see the scene of Yonghe Palace, like the Shura Field.
The hall was full of corpses, almost all of them were killed with a single knife, the major artery in the neck was severed, and the blood flowed from the body to the ground, gathering together, and the whole hall was covered with red blood.
Some even flowed outside the hall, the air was filled with the smell of blood, the second prince's arm was slashed, the others were not injured, only a few timid concubines fainted.
Those who didn't faint were also so frightened that their faces turned pale and vomited vigorously. For example, Wang Ziying, with a small face frightened, is like two people when she threatened Bai Xiyue.
"Your subordinates are late to save the car, your emperor, you are frightened!" The leader of the Imperial Forest Army arrived in military uniform, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
"Where's the Assassin! Caught or not! Gu Yuanzhen asked angrily.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the assassins scattered in all directions along the roof, and the ministers have already ordered someone to search them." Speaking of this, the leader lowered his head even deeper.
"Let me find out, who is so bold and reckless to dare to assassinate in the palace." Gu Yuanzhen said angrily, and at the same time, his eyes drifted to Gu Yichen on the side.
After this assassination, the banquet was over, the emperor took the lead in leaving the Yonghe Palace, and the other concubines also left, Wang Ziying was quite frightened, and the queen let her stay in the palace.
The second prince was injured and stayed in the palace, only the regent needed to leave the palace, so when Bai Xiyue went out, it was very deserted, and the emperor's family was really so ruthless.
Gu Yichen looked up at the moon in the sky, it was extremely round, and the moon that day was also so round, "Have you ever seen a red moon?" ”
After hearing this, Bai Xiyue glanced at the sky and said, "I've seen it, it's as red as blood." I was betrayed by my loved one that day, and before I got on the boat with Wei Yu, I remember that I also said that the red moon was rare to see, which was a good sign, and the mission would be successfully completed.
"Your veil is dirty." Gu Yichen stared at her, feeling that the blood stains were particularly dazzling on the white veil, like a jewel that had lost its luster.
Before Bai Xiyue could react to how the topic changed from the moon to a veil, Gu Yichen spoke again, "Let's go!" ”
"Wait, lord, I have a question." Bai Xiyue thought for a while and said.
"Say!"
"What's so special about that dance," why do you look angry, Bai Xiyue didn't say it in the second half of the sentence, such a person who is good at managing emotions shouldn't want his mind to be seen through.
"That dance was made up by my mother." Gu Yichen said thoughtfully.
Bai Xiyue was stunned for a moment, just now she was still complaining that those people were dancing in the square, if you said it to him, it is estimated that there will be no corpses, it must be that those people are dancing too ugly, yes, it makes sense to talk less.
So then the two went outside the palace without saying a word.
Outside the palace gate, White Frost and Dark One were already waiting, and as soon as they came out, White Frost hurriedly ran over.
"Miss, I heard that there are assassins in the palace, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, hoarfrost." Bai Xiyue comforted.
"Look, I said your young lady will be fine." Dark One said on the side.
White Frost ignored him, this person really can't talk a lot, he is still the regent's bodyguard, and it doesn't match the regent's style at all.
"Lord, I'll go back first." Bai Xiyue felt that if she didn't go back, Mrs. Bai would be worried.
"Hmm!"
Gu Yichen watched her get into the carriage and gradually disappeared from sight.
As soon as he saw that they were far away, the master was still staring, so he reminded: "Master, let's go back too!"
"How's the Siam Temple?" Gu Yichen asked.
"Dark Six said that their outer organs were useless, but they couldn't break through the inner perimeter." Dark One replied truthfully.
"Come to Japan, let's go back!" Gu Yichen had long expected that this would be the result, and he was not very surprised, if the Siam Palace was so easy to win, the emperor would not cooperate with them.
When Bai Xiyue went back, it was already late.
When Prime Minister Bai and his wife heard about the assassins in the palace, they were worried that they couldn't do it, and they couldn't rush into the palace, so they had to wait anxiously, and they were relieved to see their daughter come back safely.
The three of them talked for a while, and Bai Xiyue went back to the room.
