Chapter 64: Autumn Xun is stabbed
Shao Hao's paddock design failed to frame King Qiong, and he was annoyed.
After listening to Shao Hao's story, King He was also strange, usually the second princess was the second princess who made a stumbling block, but this time she was not in the paddock, how could there still be strange things happening, could it be that God was protecting King Qiong.
On the emperor's birthday, the emperor sent a banquet to the princes of various provinces, civil and military officials.
The royal palaces and civil and military ministers vied with each other to prepare generous gifts for the emperor, which was a good opportunity to please the emperor.
King Qiong and Qiu Xun discussed what kind of gifts to give the emperor, Qiu Xun said, "King Qiong has always been honest, strange jewelry, we don't have it, even if we have it, it can't be better than the palaces, why don't we give the most ordinary gifts, things are rare and expensive, full of strange jewels, it seems that our King Qiong's mansion is peculiar." ”
King Qiong smiled bitterly, and also knew that King Qiong's Mansion really couldn't take out anything valuable, and every year he took some ordinary jewelry, the emperor and queen scoffed, but fortunately, Qiu Xun never wore any valuable jewelry, and the queen treated her as shabby, and didn't blame anything. But I don't know what gifts Qiu Xun has prepared this year.
When I came to the palace, I saw perfunctory greetings and singing and dancing. King Qiong and Qiu Xun sat down in their seats and greeted the princes and ministers of civil and military affairs.
began to offer gifts, King He took the lead, and began to see all kinds of strange treasures, and King Qiong, Qiu Xun was dazzled.
When it was Qiu Xun's turn, I saw Qiu Xun present a box to the queen, and when he opened the box, there was a strange fragrance inside, but it was filled with some branches.
"What is this, Second Princess?" The queen has never had the luxury of expecting anything valuable and rare from the Qiong Palace, but she can't fool with withered dried flowers and branches.
"Could it be that the second princess is using dried flowers and branches in her garden to make spices, right?" The eldest princess sneered.
"Queen, it's true that this is a dry flower branch, but it is not an ordinary dried flower branch." Qiu Xun said, "This is a precious Chinese medicine that my mother brought to me from Dali to regulate a woman's body, make her face ageless, and her skin will always be young and fair." ”
"Oh." The queen suddenly became interested, "Is it really effective?" ”
"Could it be that the second princess uses these every day?" The eldest princess still sneered.
"Queen, this kind of flower branch is scarce even in Dali, it is difficult to pick, my mother loves me, not far away to bring it to me, I have not been willing to use it, I just want to take the opportunity to send it to the queen, only the queen's alluring appearance is worthy of using it to maintain the face"
Qiu Xun's words made the queen happier than giving away strange treasures, and said, "Oh, it's rare that the second princess has a heart." ”
King Qiong looked at Qiu Xun as if he didn't know him, and said in his heart, I really don't know that Concubine Ai still has the kung fu of patting horses, everyone spends a lot of money to shoot, and you can use a few dried flower branches to shoot the queen with a smile.
"Princess, when did you learn this, and you learned it very well." King Qiong asked Qiu Xun in a low voice.
"I'm doing what I like." Qiu Xun replied in a low voice, "The queen specially sent someone to our house to search for elixir, and I knew that the queen liked medicine." ”
King He's mansion and the king's mansion were unfair. The strange treasures we bought for a lot of silver are not as good as the dried flowers and branches of King Qiong's mansion.
The ministers of civil and military affairs also whispered, praising the princess of King Qiong's mansion for her intelligence, who didn't know that King Qiong was excluded in the court and was not favored by the emperor. Since marrying this princess, although she has no appearance, she is shrewd and capable, giving birth to children to King Qiong, and reviving King Qiong's mansion.
"Everyone, Aiqing." The emperor said, "Now start singing, dancing and drinking, these dancing girls are not those dancing girls in the palace on weekdays, they are all songs and dances selected by the prefects from all over the country, and they are specially for the enjoyment of the Aiqing." ”
On weekdays, I am used to seeing those dancing girls in the palace, and now the dance music sent by these prefects with local characteristics is really refreshing to the ministers, and the emperor is also well-intentioned in order to win over the ministers.
At this time, a dancer with a silk scarf covering her face came up, and was surrounded by a group of dancers to enter the venue, she only showed a pair of black shining eyes, and her black eyes turned with the tune, teasing the hearts of everyone present, and the dance posture was also charming and moving, and everyone present watched it attentively.
Only Qiu Xun felt a compelling chill from the charming eyes of the beautiful dancing girl, which made her shiver.
With the climax of the song, the dancing girls also became cheerful, only to see the dancers covered with silk scarves, spinning rapidly, her skirt fluttering, like a streamer flying, the whole person is like a flower of space, hazy. Everyone was stunned.
In an instant, Qiu Xun felt that a cold light was pressing, and she couldn't open her eyes, Qiu Xun subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hand, only to see a small and almost invisible silver flying needle flying out of the dance floor and throwing it on Qiu Xun's chest, fortunately, Qiu Xun raised his left arm because of blocking the cold light, and the silver needle pierced Qiu Xun's left arm.
"There are assassins." King Qiong shouted, and saw the dancing girl soar into the air, stepping on the heads of the officers and soldiers and jumping away.
The people at the birthday banquet had not yet come out of the wonderful dance music, and the sudden accident ended in an instant.
"Hurry up and escort." The father-in-law shouted, and the officers and soldiers protected the emperor and queen.
Qiu Xun fainted in King Qiong's arms.
"The assassin is gone, hurry up and chase him." King Qiong shouted, but how did the officers and soldiers of the court catch up with a master with excellent light skills.
Qiu Xun was carried to King Qiong's mansion, and King Qiong hurriedly called Shi Ange.
Shi Ange gently slashed Qiu Xun's left arm with a knife, and carefully took out the silver needle, "Said, "Although the silver needle is small, the needle is highly poisonous, if it is pierced in the chest, the princess is afraid that she will die immediately." ”
Shi Ange sprinkled the antidote medicine on Qiu Xun's wound, and prescribed a prescription for Chun Nuan to decoction to take.
"This poison is very toxic." Shi Ange said, "The princess will have to wait a few days for the antidote to be slowly unraveled before she can wake up. ”
King He returned to King He's mansion and asked Shao Hao, "Where did you find such a master, it's really a light achievement." ”
"Daddy, this is really not a child's doing." Shao Hao said, "I've been worried about the plans of King Qiong's Mansion these days, so I haven't done it easily. ”
"Oh, who could that be?" King He said with a puzzled face, "The assassin is obviously coming for the second princess, but why didn't she do it in King Qiong's mansion, but chose to be in the well-guarded palace?" ”
"Dad, don't you understand?" Shao Hao said, "The families of King Qiong's Mansion are also very good, and they will definitely strengthen the protection of King Qiong and the princess in King Qiong's Mansion, and in the palace, the officers and soldiers are mainly protecting the emperor and the queen, and they will not pay attention to a princess, and the emperor's birthday banquet will be slightly relaxed." ”
"Well, my son has a point." King He said, "This assassin is obviously aimed at the princess, she is a woman, who will have a deep hatred with her." ”
"Alas, what was supposed to be a good birthday feast was stirred." The queen of the palace also said sullenly, "Fortunately, the emperor is fine." ”
"This assassin didn't come for me in the first place." The emperor said, "But it should be for King Qiong, not a princess." ”
The court was talking about this strange assassin and the assassination of the second princess in the palace.
King Qiong's Mansion is nervous about Qiu Xun's injuries inside and out, and the newly married little prince and Runyu are busy guarding Qiu Xun.
King Qiong looked at Qiu Xun, who had just recovered, unconscious again, and felt sad, what happened these days, why did the princess always have disasters. Although Shi Ange told King Qiong that the princess was no longer in serious trouble, and she could wake up just by waiting for the poison to be resolved, King Qiong was still distressed in his heart.
Shu'er came to King Qiong's mansion, and King Qiong called him to the study and said, "This assassin is obviously coming directly at the princess, and the court will not strictly investigate it, and only we will secretly track it down." ”
"The assassin must have a deep grudge against the princess, but the princess has always been kind to others, how can she have a grudge." Shu'er said, "Could it be that He Wangfu did it again?" ”
"Even if He Wangfu has murderous intent, he will never dare to assassinate in the palace." King Qiong said, "Also, Jill has just given birth to Jiao'er, and the princess is fine, so don't talk to Ji'er." ”
"Yes, King Joan." Shu'er said, "I will definitely find out about this." ”
Qiu Xun woke up, and Chun Nuan fed her food. Although weak, he could barely sit up.
King Qiong looked at Qiu Xun lovingly and said, "In the future, I will keep the family courtyard by your side." ”
Shu'er came to King Qiong's mansion, saw King Qiong and the princess and said, "I went to ask the prefect who sent this dancing girl into the palace, and he said that the dancing girl in the palace changed with the original dancing girl on the way here, and wore the clothes of the original dancing girl, and the original dancing girl was tied up in the middle of the way, and was later rescued." ”
"It seems that this assassination must not have been done by the palace, and she can only use this method to infiltrate the palace." King Joan said.
"But although she is very good, she is not winged, even if she escapes from the palace, she must have changed her clothes in other safe places in the palace and pretended to be a palace maid to escape, she must be very familiar with the palace." King Joan said.
"How much enmity does she have against me, must she kill me?" Qiu Xun said, "It's always the people in the palace who are bent on harming me, but they don't know that there is a grudge against me outside the palace." ”
"Princess, think about it, have you ever had anything to do with anyone before?" The tree asked.
"Although I have also offended some unconscious officials in the officialdom, I have not forced them to the point that they must kill me. It's just..."Qiu Xun thought for a while and said, "It's just that Qiu Heng, the son of Aunt Shen in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, was not born to Qiu Bohong, and later Qiu Bohong drove Aunt Shen away, and Qiu Heng was imprisoned because of the murder." ”
"What happened to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion?" Shu'er asked.
"Later, Qiu Bohong died of depression, I heard that Qiu Yan left home, but I don't know which nunnery she was in, and the youngest sister Qiu Yin married an ordinary family."
