What can the queen say? I could only barely smile and say, "Miss Jingxue's dance is naturally unbeatable." ”

"Good!" The emperor praised her, looked at the beautiful beauty on the high platform with a smile on his face, and called her to come to him.

But at this time, some palace people reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince are here." ”

What day is it? Even they came?

The smile on the emperor's face remained unchanged, and he replied with a smile: "Call them in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The father-in-law retired.

When Rong Chen, the third and fifth children walked in from outside to greet the emperor, Jingxue had also slowly walked over from the high platform, her figure was slender, her appearance was beautiful, and when she danced just now, the blue veil covering her face also fell, and at this moment, a flawless face was exposed in front of everyone.

Many people gasped, they all heard that Concubine Qi had a beautiful palace maid next to her, originally they didn't believe it, thinking it was an exaggeration, aren't the most beautiful women in the world in the emperor's harem? They are all the emperor's concubines! How can a palace maid cover a harem of 3,000 fandel?

However, now they looked at Jingxue who was alluring the country and the city, as well as the queen and many concubines with a dark face, and couldn't help but believe these words.

As if she hadn't seen so many scrutinizing eyes, Jingxue smiled slightly and walked in front of the emperor.

The emperor smiled and stretched out his hand, about to take her......

In this short moment, Jing Xue suddenly had a snowy dagger in her hand, and she stabbed towards the emperor's heart without hesitation!

"Father! Be careful! ”

Rong Chen, who had been vigilantly staring at Jingxue, immediately rushed forward, quickly reached out to hit Jingxue, and on the other hand, he tried to protect the emperor behind him, but unfortunately his leg injury had just healed, and he was not as brave and invincible as he was back then.

However, Jing Xue's key stab to the emperor was still successfully blocked.

It's just that after that, his whole person was kicked to the ground by Jingxue!

"Dog Emperor! Kill my people! Take your life! Jingxue screamed, smiling, and reluctantly left Rong Chen and continued to rush towards the emperor.

But at this time, she had already lost the opportunity, and the guards around the emperor just didn't react at the beginning, and by the time Jingxue knocked Rong Chen to the ground, they had quickly protected the emperor behind her.

And the Imperial Forest Army outside the Imperial Garden has also rushed towards this side......

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Someone has assassinated His Majesty! Countless people screamed, all the nobles and concubines screamed and ran outside, and some were trampled because they fell slowly.

There was a sudden chaos in the banquet of the entire Imperial Garden.

When Shen Nianzhen happened, she vigilantly escorted Concubine Qi to the side, she always remembered Rong Chen's explanation to her, she must not let Concubine Qi have an accident, otherwise, she would have no way to explain to him.

And Jingxue is unwillingly fighting with the guards and Rong Chen, and the three princes and the five princes who rushed over with Rong Chen have retreated far away, only Rong Chen, even if he has no trace of internal strength, even if he is equivalent to a waste, he is still trying to fight with Jingxue.

"Whew-"

A dagger stabbed him into the shoulder, and blood flowed profusely.

But at the same time, Rong Chen's hands had already pinched Jingxue's neck, and his palms were violently forced, only to hear a crisp sound of bones shattering, Jingxue's neck was crooked, and she fell to the ground like a rag.

The assassin was finally dead.

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army had also arrived, and quickly controlled the scene, Jingxue was executed, but there were still Imperial Forest Army swords against her corpse, the emperor also reacted at this time, pushed away the palace people and eunuchs who were guarding, and took a look at it tremblingly, and immediately looked at Rong Chen, who was standing aside, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the blood was pouring from his shoulder, walked over to hold his shoulder, and immediately shouted loudly: "Someone!" Come! Hurry up and get a doctor! ”

Immediately, there were palace people rushing to ask for the imperial doctor.

"Dick, how are you?" The emperor looked at Rong Chen with a concerned expression and asked eagerly.

"Back to my father...... Erchen is fine. Rong Chen's face was pale and bloodless, but he still tried to squeeze out a smile in the face of the emperor's questioning.

The three princes and the five princes on the side have also reacted, and they all rushed over to gather around Rong Chen, pretending to say some words of concern, and the queen and the harem concubines also reacted, and they were about to say a word of concern, but at this time, a person pounced over, pushed them all away, stumbled in front of Rong Chen, and knelt in front of him all of a sudden, looking at the injury on his shoulder, as well as his pale face, and suddenly burst into tears.

It's Concubine Qi.

She looked at the injured Rong Chen, her expression was incredulous and frightened, and she kept shaking her head and said, "I don't believe it!" I don't believe it! How could things have come to this! ”

Shen Nianzhen had already come over at this time, facing Concubine Qi, she finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and said coldly for the first time: "What is so unexpected about Concubine Qi, isn't today's ending exactly what you want to see?" “

"You talk nonsense! For the sake of Chen'er, I don't even want my life! Concubine Qi broke down and shouted: "You are sowing discord!" It's slander! “

"That Jingxue, isn't it your person?" Shen Nianzhen replied with a calm face.

Concubine Qi suddenly seemed to be caught in the death hole.

Yes, that Jingxue was brought into the palace by her, and she was pampered in every way, and kept arguing with Rong Chen for her! He also tried to send her to the emperor's pillow! Now this Jingxue is assassinating the emperor in public......

Assassinating the emperor, that's a great crime to destroy the nine clans!

Fortunately, Rong Chen made a move and killed Jingxue with his own hands, otherwise how could she explain it clearly this time? Jingxue is her person! This is something that everyone in the palace knows!

"Your Majesty! The concubine really doesn't know what that Jingxue is here for! Concubine Qi turned her head violently, knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "I don't know that she wants to assassinate Your Majesty at the palace banquet, if the concubine knows, she will definitely not ......."

"You won't?" The queen sneered on the side: "This was originally a plan set up by your mother and son, right?" You've long been disobedient! You deliberately made this demon girl of unknown origin seduce the emperor at this banquet, and then assassinate him by surprise, and then ask your son to come forward and save the driver in disguise...... Concubine Qi, are you trying to push the second prince into the position of the crown prince? Do you really think that everyone in the world is so stupid? “

"No concubines!" Concubine Qi was anxious to explain.

At this time, Shen Nianzhen slowly spoke, raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said in a cold voice: "Queen Mother, Concubine Qi led Jingxue into the palace without knowing it, it was indeed her negligence, but the Queen Mother herself did not fulfill her responsibilities, right?" You have long known that Jingxue's origin is unknown, but you did not investigate, and let Concubine Qi bring her to Your Majesty, the courtiers know that you want to watch Concubine Qi make a fool of herself, but you did not hesitate to use Your Majesty as a raft and pushed the matter to today's irreparable situation, do you dare to say that you are not responsible? ”

It's still Shen Nian who is really powerful! In a few words, the queen was questioned! Concubine Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, and she didn't care about Shen Nianzhen's unhappiness when she questioned her just now, and looked at her with hope in her eyes.

"Presumptuous!" When the queen heard this, she was really furious, and said coldly: "Lord Roujia, why do you use this tone to question the palace?" There are so many things to do in Hongu every day! How could it be that every person brought into the palace by the concubine would investigate! And that's the point now? The point is that Concubine Qi and the second prince set up a plan to use the beauty Jingxue to assassinate His Majesty! This represents your disobedience! ”

"Your Majesty! Absolutely nothing! ”

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately raised his head, looked at the emperor, and explained with a sincere face: "The courtiers can explain why Concubine Qi brought Jingxue into the palace, and if it weren't for the Second Highness sacrificing herself to save her life today, I don't know what the situation is!" Your Majesty shouldn't forget the situation when His Royal Highness sacrificed his life to save him just now, right? Isn't there a trace of emotion in Your Majesty's heart? ”

"Humph! All this is just a ploy of your own! The queen sneered.

At this time, the emperor glanced at Rong Chen with a complicated expression, and said in a slow voice: "The second child just saw the opportunity very quickly, and the reaction was also very fast. ”

It was so fast that he seemed to have known that this Jingxue would assassinate him, so the emperor did not refute what the empress said.

Although, the picture of Rong Chen just sacrificing himself to save himself is indeed very moving.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi Niangniang insisted on taking Jingxue girl into the palace to be a palace maid because of the awkward quarrel with the courtiers, even if the second highness had a quarrel with Concubine Qi, he couldn't stop this matter, he could only watch Jingxue enter the palace, but he had always suspected in his heart that Jingxue had some ulterior motives for entering the palace, and he also told the courtiers before entering the palace today that he should always pay attention to the movements of this Jingxue girl at the banquet, for fear that she would make trouble, therefore, even if His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not appear just now, the courtiers would have to sacrifice themselves, Desperately fighting with it. “

It turns out that Rong Chen has long suspected Jingxue?

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Rong Chen suspiciously.

Remembering the scene when he just came to the banquet, indeed, he remembered that Shen Nianzhen had been staring at Jingxue all the time, and the person was also standing relatively far ahead, and his two eyes were full of guard......

At that time, he thought that she had quarreled with Rong Chen, but he was ready to rush to the rescue at any time.

Thinking of this, he had already believed in three points, and his expression turned soft at the moment: "County Lord Roujia, did you already expect that this Jingxue girl was going to assassinate me?" “

"Nope." Shen Nianzhen replied honestly when she heard this: "The courtier just thought that she wanted to be unfavorable to Concubine Qi, so she had been staying by Niangniang's side, and later after seeing His Majesty enter, Jingxue didn't even glance at Concubine Qi, but she had been circling around Your Majesty, and she began to doubt it......"

This explanation is reasonable.

The emperor nodded, glanced at Rong Chen with a soft expression, and then said, "Come on, carry the second prince to the nearby palace to heal, don't touch his injuries, and his leg injuries." “

As soon as the words fell, four guards stepped forward and carried Rong Chen away.

Since he was taken away for treatment, his face was still full of tenderness, which means that the emperor believed what Shen Nianzhen, a slut, said.

"Your Majesty!" The queen was very unwilling in her heart, and immediately shouted: "You can't be deceived by them! This is clearly the three of them uniting to deceive Your Majesty! Otherwise, why did the second prince kill that Jingxue? This is murder."

"Queen Mother, your ability to reverse black and white when you open your mouth is really powerful." Shen Nianzhen sneered: "The courtiers are really impressed, the situation at that time was clearly very dangerous, the Jingxue Demon Girl chased His Majesty's tenacious assassination, the third prince and the fifth prince were all hiding aside, the Imperial Forest Army had not yet arrived, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Second Prince to do his best and simply kill Jingxue, Your Majesty would be safe and sound!" “

At this time, the palace people around the emperor nodded again and again, and even Gonggong Zhang spoke: "What the county lord of Roujia said is not wrong!" If it weren't for the Second Highness killing Jingxue on the spot, His Majesty might have really been injured. ”

That's not the point, isn't it? It was Shen Nian's truth, and the words were brought out of the three princes and the five princes!

It also happened that when the incident happened, these two people were with Rong Chen, and they saw Jingxue take out the murder weapon to assassinate the emperor with their own eyes, but the two of them were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they hid aside, not even rushing over to stop them...... Everybody knows it's going to die!

Shen Nianzhen didn't lie about this.

The emperor slowly turned his head to look at the two princes, his eyes sank, and he didn't say anything.

The third prince was like a thorn in his back, raised his head sharply, glared at Shen Nianzhen angrily, and said: "The palace didn't rush up because it was scared, and it didn't react!" And second brother, why is he not afraid of that Jingxue Demon Girl, it must be because you are in a group! She was originally your person, so the second prince rushed up to kill her for meritorious service! ”

"Not bad! Exactly! The fifth prince nodded desperately.

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately smiled: "Then why did Jingxue join forces with the second prince, and what can she get from this matter?" Why did he sacrifice his life for the second prince? You must know that the second prince wants to kill her every time he sees her! It's just that I never had a chance! ”

"Your Majesty." As she spoke, she turned her head, knelt down in front of the emperor, and said solemnly: "Please think carefully about the scene at that time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince only had his legs abolished some time ago, and it took half a year to finally resume walking, and the imperial doctor said that he is just a waste person now, and he has no martial arts at all, but even in this case, His Royal Highness did not flinch, and when he saw Jingxue assassinating His Majesty, he still rushed forward, even if he was injured and died, he wanted to save His Majesty, and his heart for His Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon!" Heaven and earth can be seen! “

As he spoke, he knelt down.

The words fell, and there was silence in the imperial garden.

Whether it was the fleeing guests or the palace people present, they were all silent, and in this silence, only the emperor's face was ugly.

Everyone thought that the emperor was angry and angry, but in fact, the emperor was thinking about things with his head down.

Rong Chen doesn't know martial arts now, even if he can stand up, he doesn't know how long he can last, so he is a person who has nothing to do with the throne, in this case, Rong Chen may do irrational things to invite favor in order to win the sacred heart, but it is impossible for a person to even want his own life in order to invite favor, right? That Jingxue is like a wolf and a tiger, she is obviously a foreigner at a glance, and it is impossible to listen to Rong Chen at all, if this matter is really designed by Rong Chen, then he risked his life to do it, what good is it for him?

Anyway, even if he is saved, the outcome of the matter will not be affected.

At this moment, the emperor's ears suddenly heard a muffled cry: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" It's me who has to be angry with him, it's me who has to get along with Nianzhen, it's me who hurt Chen'er......"

The emperor slowly turned his head, and saw Concubine Qi crying with a sad and desperate face, as well as regret and self-blame.

The emperor suddenly came to his senses.

Rong Chen just rushed forward desperately, and it was not him who saved him, but his mother Concubine Qi!

Think about it, if that Jingxue really succeeds in assassination, what will Concubine Qi do? I can only be put to death! Rong Chen rushed up to save him desperately, at least, Concubine Qi would not be executed.

Even if he looks at Rong Chen's face, he can only spare Concubine Qi this time.

When the emperor thought of this, he didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little stunned.

In fact, at the beginning, Rong Chen rushed up to save him regardless of his life, he was very moved, and then the queen provoked, he had a trace of doubt about this desperate rescue, and now, he finally figured out that the person Rong Chen desperately saved was not him, it was Concubine Qi.

There was a slight taste in his heart.

However, he will no longer be doubted.

"Alright." The emperor slowly spoke: "Jingxue's assassination of His Majesty has nothing to do with the second prince, in view of his desperate rescue, I will spare Concubine Qi your capital crime, you can think about it behind closed doors after you go back!" Don't let me see you again. “

When Concubine Qi heard this, she suddenly felt a pang.

Then she cried again, she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at the emperor's expression, she regretted it! This incident was really caused by herself, she didn't listen to the dissuasion, she had to take Jingxue into the palace, and she had to dedicate her to the emperor to consolidate her favor...... In fact, now that I think back carefully, Jingxue never had any resistance to approaching the emperor at all, and even took the initiative to approach the emperor a few times, but she was sent back......

Now it seems that she has been planning for a long time! This slut!

Concubine Qi's regretful intestines are about to turn green, especially when she thinks of her son's injury, her heart is as painful as a knife, and she can't wait to apologize for her guilt with death. ‘

It's all her stubbornness and willfulness that hurt her son!

"As for Rong Chen, let's take care of your illness."
