Chapter 40: Banquet Accidents
"It's an honor for Xiyue to be able to share the worries of Sister Nijia, but Xiyue is really more than enough and not enough, I ......"
"This is the eldest lady of the Wei family, the mourning family has heard about it for a long time, I heard that this eldest lady of the Wei family dances a good sword, the mourning family wants to see it, so Miss Wei should not refuse." The Queen Mother was originally a little dissatisfied with Wei Nijia's performance, and she really wanted to see Wei Xiyue's sword dance, so she opened her mouth to order.
The Queen Mother had already spoken, and Wei Xiyue didn't want to say anything, she just said that she wanted to prepare, so she went down first.
Wei Xiyue was thinking about countermeasures as she walked, she always felt that Wei Feiyu spent so much effort not just to ask her to simply dance a sword.
But I didn't prepare when I went out, but fortunately this is the palace, but there is everything.
Wei Xiyue followed the palace maid to prepare to change clothes, and after arriving at the place where she was changing, the little palace maid went to look for clothes, but she didn't come for a long time. Wei Xiyue walked out only to see the little palace maid holding a piece of clothing with a pale face, not so much a piece of clothing as a rag.
Wei Xiyue frowned and asked, "Girl, I don't know if there are any other clothes." ”
Just seeing the expression of the little palace maid, Wei Xiyue knew the answer.
"Miss Wei, no...... Nope. ”
It's been a while since Wei Xiyue left the banquet, and if it's too long, the Queen Mother will definitely be suspicious, this ......
"Miss Wei."
Huo Lingxiao's voice sounded in his ears, and for a moment Wei Xiyue thought that he was hallucinating.
"Miss Wei, here."
Wei Xiyue looked at the clothes handed over by Huo Lingxiao in surprise, and was wondering where he got the clothes, but was pushed behind the screen by Huo Lingxiao.
"Go and change, I asked Eleven to delay time, but still have to be fast."
Hearing this, Wei Xiyue couldn't care about doubts, and hurriedly went to change her clothes, not to mention, they fit well.
As soon as he came out, he saw Huo Lingxiao handing over a sword again.
"Quick."
The two looked at each other and smiled, nodded and quickened their pace to leave.
At the banquet, Huo Zeshen was looking for various reasons to attract the attention of the Queen Mother, and shouted that she wanted to dance for the Queen Mother.
"Okay, Eleven, don't make your mother angry, get out of here."
Huo Zeshen shrugged his shoulders and pretended it was no big deal, but only he knew in his heart how worried he was.
Fortunately, the moment he went down, Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue appeared in everyone's sight.
Huo Zeshen breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Wei Xiyue, Wei Nijia immediately greeted her.
"My sister is here, I thought my sister was ......"
Wei Xiyue glanced at her coldly, "Why do you think so?" ”
Wei Nijia saw Wei Xiyue's unkind expression, and immediately explained: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't want anything." ”
The Queen Mother had long been dissatisfied with Wei Xiyue's procrastination, but now she was chatting with Wei Nijia again, and coughed lightly.
Wei Xiyue smiled lightly at Wei Nijia, and then walked away from Wei Nijia sideways.
It's just that when he walked to Wei Feiyu's side, he was stopped by Wei Feiyu.
"Sister."
Wei Xiyue glanced at Wei Feiyu, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”
Wei Feiyu smiled faintly, "Sister, my sister has something to tell my sister, can I ask my sister to ......" said and turned sideways.
Wei Xiyue asked the Queen Mother for instructions, but the Queen Mother didn't even want to give a look at her at this time, Wei Xiyue hesitated and decided to listen to him, after all, she also wanted to know what tricks Wei Feiyu played.
"Sister is so blessed." Wei Feiyu said to Wei Xiyue in a voice that only two people could hear, "Just now, one of the two princes left the scene halfway for his sister, and the other delayed time for his sister. The tone was full of vinegar.
I didn't expect her to say this.
Wei Xiyue frowned, she didn't want to listen to her, but she was grabbed by the wrist again just when she wanted to leave.
"My sister congratulates my sister, I toast my sister with a glass of wine, and I also help my sister have fun." Wei Feiyu handed over a glass of wine, but it was brought to the hand of Wei Xiyue's sword, Wei Xiyue originally wanted to change hands to hold the sword, but she didn't expect Wei Nijia to suddenly rush over and take the sword in Wei Xiyue's hand.
Wei Xiyue didn't figure out what was going on between the two, but she didn't want to talk to them more, so she took the wine glass and drank it all.
I just wanted to take the sword from Wei Nijia's hand, but when I turned my head, I saw that Wei Nijia also came over with a glass of wine, and the sword appeared on the dinner table next to it.
"Sister, I respect you too."
Wei Xiyue had been completely impatient with the tricks of the two people, glanced at Wei Nijia, went to get the sword and went on stage.
"This ......" Wei Xiyue's every move is in the eyes of the queen, although Wei Feiyu and the others have stopped Wei Xiyue again and again, but ignoring her sister in the family like this, it really doesn't look like a lady.
The Queen Mother seemed to be expected, and whispered to the queen: "What do you think, the mourning family just said that Wei Xiyue is a barbarian." ”
Wei Xiyue finally came to power, but the sword in her hand was a little uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath and began to dance her sword expertly.
Wei Xiyue's body was light, and she landed steadily after a coherent triple flip, holding a sword in one hand and the other hand was not empty, changing her posture in the air, the blade of the sword was cold, but her hand was soft.
One is rigid and one is soft, one is cold and one is hot, so wonderful.
With the ups and downs of the music, Wu Jian saw the climax, and Wei Xiyue's movements became faster and faster.
"Bang!"
"Wow!"
Just as everyone was indulging in Wei Xiyue's sword dance, an unexpected situation appeared.
No one could have imagined that the sword in Wei Xiyue's hand would suddenly break, so frightened that Wei Xiyue was stunned in place.
When everyone reacted, the broken sword had already flown straight towards the Queen Mother.
I saw a white dress flash in front of my eyes, Huo Lingxiao appeared in front of the Queen Mother, and caught the short sword with his bare hands, but the sword had no eyes, and when Huo Lingxiao took the sword, his left hand was colored.
Wei Xiyue reacted and knelt down.
The Queen Mother was so frightened that her face turned pale, and everyone present was so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
"Bold!" The queen stood up and stretched out her hand to ask for guilt, "Someone, take this assassin down for me!" ”
Hearing the news that Wei Xiyue was going to be arrested, Huo Zeshen and the Liu family stood up together.
"The Queen Mother! Queen Mother! The Liu clan rushed to the front without hesitating anything, kneeling beside Wei Xiyue, "Two mothers, Xiyue will definitely not be an assassin!" Xiyue, you quickly say that you don't. ”
Wei Xiyue frowned, guessing that this was probably Wei Feiyu's plan.
Assassinating the Queen Mother, this crime can be punished by the Nine Clans!
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!" Wei Xiyue stood up on her knees, her eyes full of arrogance.
"You! Wei Xiyue! Are you not aware of your sin? The Queen Mother came to her senses and looked at Wei Xiyue with an angry face.
"Queen Mother, I believe that Sister Xiyue will not be like this." Huo Zeshen saw that the situation was wrong, and then rushed to Taishang to intercede for Wei Xiyue.
What no one expected was that at this time, Wei Feiyu also knelt out.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother. Fei Yu believes in her sister, her sister is not that kind of person, maybe it was just an accident. ”
"Accident?" The Queen Mother sneered, "How could a good sword suddenly break?" Yu girl, don't plead with her, this is a barbaric woman who has no law, and now she still wants to assassinate the mourner. Come! ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, two guards with knives came out from both sides and wanted to hold Wei Xiyue.
"Queen Mother!"
It was Huo Lingxiao who made the noise, and he was dragging the freshly bandaged wound to Wei Xiyue's side.
"Queen Mother, I believe in Miss Wei's character, she is by no means the kind of person who can assassinate."
"You!" Seeing that Huo Lingxiao was also speaking for Wei Xiyue, as if adding fuel to the flames of the queen's already angry emotions, she said viciously: "You are all one by one! Do you have to be angry with the Queen Mother? Take her down. ”
"Wait!" Speaking to Wei Xiyue this time, she knelt down and took two steps forward to get out of the guard's confinement, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are wronged!" ”
"What grievances can you have? Your assassination of the Queen Mother has been seen by so many of us, what else do you have to say? ”
Wei Xiyue raised the remaining short sword in her hand, "Trouble King Guangling to take a closer look at this sword." ”
Huo Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and took the sword in Wei Xiyue's hand.
I only heard Wei Xiyue continue: "Although this is a good sword, it is not the sword that King Guangling gave to Xiyue. Before, the queen mother asked her courtiers to dance the sword, but today she came in a hurry, Xiyue did not prepare the sword, fortunately the king of Guangling lent his sword to Xiyue, but ...... This sword is clearly not King Guangling's! ”
As soon as Wei Xiyue's words came out, everyone's eyes were surprised, and then this gaze turned to Huo Lingxiao.
Under everyone's fiery gaze, Huo Lingxiao nodded and slowly spoke: "Miss Wei is right, this is not the sword I gave Miss Wei. ”
Huo Lingxiao paused, and then continued: "Besides, this sword was made cold from the beginning, I'm afraid it ...... When Miss Wei got it in her hand, she was already in the trap of the person who was doing the tricks. ”
Huo Lingxiao frowned, this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
At best, maybe someone wants Wei Xiyue to make a fool of himself, but in a serious way, if someone deliberately wants to kill the Queen Mother by Wei Xiyue's hand and deliberately assassinate him, it is a big crime to kill the head, who would and who would dare to do this?
Huo Lingxiao suddenly thought of something.
That day, he went to the palace to find the queen mother, and overheard what the lord of Luo'an said in front of the queen mother, and then he was suspicious and followed Luo'an out of the palace.
In a trance, it seemed that I heard something like Wei Xiyue, acting, and making a fool of myself.
That's why he prepared things that might be used for Wei Xiyue in advance, and when he saw that Wei Xiyue didn't come to send her life-saving clothes for a long time.
When you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
