Chapter 90: Yang Mubai Encounters an Assassin (Part 2, Chapter 44)

Full Moon Banquet.

Hundreds of tables were placed in the Yamato Palace, stretching for dozens of miles from the palace to the outside of the palace. We have a wide variety of dishes.

The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress were dressed to attend. Before the banquet began, Pei Shengyuan made a speech and expressed his gratitude to the princes and nobles and courtiers for coming to participate. Thanks to God's gift, the queen gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus. This is auspicious from heaven, the prince and princess will be healthy and happy, and the emperor will be prosperous and prosperous in the future, and all countries can strengthen exchanges, trade and trade, and establish peace with them forever.

After saying this, everyone present echoed each other and said:

"What the emperor said is extremely true, the imperial capital will definitely be able to make the country rich and the people strong."

"Exactly, it is really blessed by God, this blessing, the emperor, the queen likes to have a dragon and phoenix fetus."

"The queen mother is blessed and blessed, and the prince and princess must be the dragon and phoenix among people."

The guests enjoyed themselves, and it was an auspicious time. He Shengnan and the nurse came out to see everyone with the princess and princess, accepted everyone's blessings in the palace, and after a while, they hugged back to the palace. Qiu Yue also followed, she was to protect the safety of the prince and princess.

Those who are far away have not been able to see people at all. But they were also very happy to see the silhouette from afar.

One of the crowd said: "These two children must be extraordinary, they are so big in a month, and they are growing up very fast." ”

Isn't it? said it was a month, this is a child who is almost seven months old, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Mubai was frightened and didn't eat well when she was pregnant, and she was born prematurely, the child could be bigger.

Pei Shengyuan said: "It's all the doctors and nurses who take good care of them. ”

Everyone was busy admiring:

"The prince and princess will become a great weapon in the future."

"I've been extremely talented since I was a child, and I'm even better when I grow up."

The palace is very lively, and the capital is also very lively. Those who were unable to attend the banquet spontaneously organized some wine banquets to celebrate the birthday of the prince and princess.

Some merchants took out their pockets and rented out restaurants, feasted on friends and merchants, or gave food and dry food to beggars.

The people who were crowded with the emperor and queen also set up a banquet at their own house, a scene of national peace and security.

Yang Mubai was very happy, the imperial doctor said that she could drink in moderation, and today the child was full moon, she drank a few glasses, and she was a little drunk.

Pei Sheng saw her like this, so he said, "You go back and rest first!" I'll deal with it a little bit more here. ”

Yang Mubai is indeed a little tired, and it is getting late, so he has to go back.

She said, "Qiuyue, help me go back." ”

At this time, Qiu Yue was already in Fengyi Palace. Princess Yongjing said: "Queen Mother, I'll help you go back!" ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Then there is Princess Lao Yongjing." ”

On the way back, Yang Mubai was a little staggering, and Princess Yongjing said, "Queen Mother, but you drank too much?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "I'm so happy today, I drank a few glasses, it's much more powerful than that fruit wine, and now the wine is up." Xu is the reason why he has not drunk alcohol for a long time. ”

Princess Yongjing said, "Then go slower." On the other side, there were other palace people supporting him.

At the gate of the palace, He Shengnan hurriedly ran out, helped Yang Mubai, and asked, "Is the queen drunk?" ”

Princess Yongjing asked, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

He Shengnan said: "I am He Shengnan, the personal palace maid next to the queen's mother, not long after entering the palace, it is normal that you don't know me." Leave her to me! ”

He Shengnan had never seen Princess Yongjing, thinking that it was Yang Mubai's family or friend.

When they were about to go back to the dormitory, suddenly, two men in black burst out from outside. Princess Yongjing drew her sword and shouted, "Someone, there are assassins." ”

Yang Mubai was so frightened that she woke up at this time, she didn't expect that Fengyi Palace could actually blend in with assassins. The scene of the Dark Cult resurfaced in front of her, making her tremble with fright.

He Shengnan hurriedly protected Yang Mubai behind him. said: "Don't be afraid, Queen Mother, I will protect you." ”

Princess Yongjing was fighting with one of the Assassins, and when the guards heard that there was an Assassin, they all ran over.

When the other assassin saw someone coming, he said in a calm voice, "Kill the queen and withdraw immediately." ”

Then he attacked Yang Mubai.

Princess Yongjing was still fighting, and after more than ten moves, she was defeated, and was shocked to the side by the assassin's palm. The Assassin fought with the arriving guards.

Seeing that the assassin's sword was about to be stabbed down, Qiu Yue rushed over, fought with the assassin, and said, "Take the queen into the house." ”

Unexpectedly, the assassin's martial arts were extremely high, and Qiu Yue was injured in a few moves.

The assassin jumped in front of Yang Mubai very quickly, raised his sword, and stabbed Yang Mubai in the body.

Yang Mubai's face turned pale with fright, she was really stupid, and the whole person fell backwards.

He Shengnan hurriedly went to help, and the assassin's sword was about to stab Yang Mubai.

He Shengnan closed his eyes and covered Yang Mubai with his body, she held Yang Mubai and received a sword in her back.

Xu Lang and Zhang Shuo rushed over and kicked the assassin away. The two assassins saw that the martial arts of the comer were extremely high, and said: "Help is coming, withdraw!" ”

The two assassins quickly vanished into the night sky. Zhang Shuo said to the forbidden army: "Hurry up and chase them, you must catch them." ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly came over, helped He Shengnan up, and asked, "He Shengnan, are you okay?" ”

He Shengnan's face turned pale and said, "I'm fine, what about the queen?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "You blocked a sword for her, she is fine." ”

Then let the palace people help her back to her residence, and help Yang Mubai back to the dormitory, and invite Imperial Doctor Ye to treat Yang Mubai.

Pei Shengyuan also came back, and after Dr. Ye checked the pulse, he hurriedly asked, "How is the queen?" ”

Imperial Physician Ye said: "The queen mother is too frightened, I will prescribe a prescription, rest for a few more days and then take a look." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Then there is Lao Ye Taiyi." ”

In the imperial study, Pei Shengyuan looked at the few people kneeling down and asked, "Whose idea is this?" ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Returning to the emperor is the idea of humiliation, and humiliation deserves death, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Yang Cheng, Xu Lang and Qiu Yue said: "We also know and cooperate, and ask for a common condemnation. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "You are so bold, have you ever considered it, the queen mother can't be frightened now, if she has an unwell, you wait!" You have something to feel comfortable with. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "I came up with the idea alone, and I am willing to take full responsibility." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Zhang Shuo, I think you are really impatient, why don't you report such a big matter to me?" ”

Zhang Shuo replied: "I am afraid that the emperor will not agree, and this method is the only way to test her." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Knowing that I don't agree, I still dare to execute, do you want to die?" ”

Zhang Shuo said: "I don't dare to be humble, He Shengnan and the queen are getting closer and closer, if the identity cannot be confirmed, the humiliation is uneasy, and I can't guard her every day." Thousands of precautions, home thieves are difficult to prevent. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "What about the results of the temptation? ”

Zhang Shuo replied: "She is willing to fight hard for the queen mother to block the assassin, proving that she is not malicious to the queen mother, and she should have come to repay her kindness when she entered the palace." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Judging by what she has done recently, it may indeed be that we are too cautious, and we can relax our surveillance of her in the future." ”

Zhang Shuo replied: "Yes, I understand. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "If you dare to use the queen as a bargaining chip, I will never spare it." Zhang Shuo was fined 80 rods, Xu Lang was fined 50 rods, you go down and receive the punishment yourself! ”

Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang replied at the same time: "Yes, I will receive my life." ”

Pei Shengyuan returned to Fengyi Palace, Yang Mubai had already woken up, and the palace maid was feeding her medicine. She couldn't figure out why the assassin had slipped into Fengyi Palace so easily. The guards here are very tight.

Pei Shengyuan walked over, took the medicine from the palace maid, and fed it to Yang Mubai to drink.

Yang Mubai asked, "Did you arrange tonight's assassin?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "I'm sorry, it was arranged by Zhang Shuo, I didn't know." They have been punished. ”

Yang Mubai was really angry, and he didn't tell her. She said, "Why didn't you tell me? How is He Shengnan now? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "That sword didn't hurt the vital point, just rest for a while." They didn't even tell me, they wanted to test He Shengnan, but there was still something suspicious about her. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Why are you always suspicious, these times, how much effort has she put into taking care of peace and security. Who has her so attentive? What the hell are you still suspicious? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "The death of the young general is too suspicious. No one but her had a grudge against him. ”

Yang Mubai stared at him and said, "Isn't that an accident?" You are worried about people, can you have more trust between people? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "What they did is not wrong, He Shengnan is your personal palace wife, if it is someone else, we will definitely not track it down." The people who stay with you must be completely trustworthy. ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Then now, can you trust her?" ”

Pei Shengyuan grabbed her hand and said, "You can trust her temporarily, but you must not trust her like you trust Qiu Yue, okay?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "I know, you can't do such things in the future." He Shengnan was injured because of me, how can you make me feel better. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "She is your personal palace maid, if she doesn't show loyalty, how can she stay by your side." If she didn't block it, the sword wouldn't have stabbed down, Yang Cheng just wanted to play a little more seriously. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Just this time, next time you can't test others like this, do you hear?" ”

Pei Shengyuan replied: "Well, listen to Mumu." Freaking out today, go to bed early. ”

Yang Mubai said again: "My father and mother came to see me, this full moon banquet, I didn't have time to catch up with them, do you want to see them tomorrow?" ”

Pei Shengyuan was more embarrassed, Father Yang might not want to see him, thinking of what happened before, it was really embarrassing, for the sake of Yang Mubai, he still had to have a good relationship with them.

He said, "I'll come and see them later, and I'll ask them for a good talk." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Okay, thank you. ”

Pei Shengyuan kissed her hand and said, "Fool, they raised you so well, I can only be grateful to them for giving you to me." I've done bastard things before, and I'll make amends to them. ”

On the second day, Yang Mubai went to visit He Shengnan, her injury was not a big deal, and she could heal after a month of recuperation. Yang Mubai said: "Shengnan, thank you very much, I didn't expect you to be so brave, so loyal, and willing to sacrifice your life to save me." ”

He Shengnan said: "Queen Mother, don't say that, this is the duty of a slave." As long as you're okay, I'm satisfied. ”

Yang Mubai said: "You take care of your injuries, tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will help you solve them." ”

He Shengnan asked, "Did the assassin catch it?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "I caught it, it's the remnants of the killer of Yecheng, last time we took their organization, we held a grudge and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge." The prince and princess had a full moon banquet, and the precautions were lax, and they mixed in. has been put to death. And Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang were not good at escorting and were also punished. You can rest assured that there will be no more danger in the future. ”

He Shengnan said: "That's good. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Then you take care of your injuries, I'll go back to Fengyi Palace first, and the two children should make trouble again." ”

When Yang's father and Yang's mother came, Yang Mubai was very excited, she hadn't seen her parents for a long time, she was really unfilial, her parents were old, and she couldn't be filial by her side.

Yang Mubai knelt down and kowtowed to them, and Father Yang hurriedly helped her up and said, "You are now the queen's mother, how can you still kneel to us." ”

After speaking, Yang's father and Yang's mother wanted to kneel and salute. Yang Mubai hurriedly stopped: "There are no outsiders here, no need to salute." No matter what differentiation I have, I will always be your daughter. After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Father Yang asked, "How are you doing all these years?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "It's good, it's just a little dangerous......"

Father Yang said: "Don't run out of the palace to play in the future, your temperament is too naughty, just like that." ”

Yang's mother also said: "Your father is right, women have given birth to children, and they are still running out, you are the queen, the mother of the world, and you must play an exemplary role." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Okay, father, mother, daughter knows." ”

Mother Yang took out a few jade pendants from her sleeves, as well as a pair of silver bracelets, and said: "This is a pair of silver bracelets that I asked someone to beat, for children, it can ward off evil spirits." This is a Buddha statue jade pendant, there are three, wait for the children to be older. This one is for you, wear it for peace. Mother has nothing to ask for, only for you all to be safe. ”

Yang Mubai accepted it and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

Father Yang took out two brocade boxes from the entourage package, one long and one square, and said to Yang Mubai: "Father knows that you are now deeply favored by the emperor. But the things of the world are changing rapidly, and the blessings and disasters in the world are unpredictable, and these two things are also life-saving. This is what our Yang family left for your mother. Hopefully you won't use it. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Father, by all means, this is given to you by the emperor, and it is not appropriate to stay in the palace." The daughter will pay attention to herself, and please reassure her father and mother. ”

Father Yang said: "Keep it just in case, we are all old, and we have long been away from strife. None of this will work for us. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Father, I have a deep relationship with the emperor, and there will be no accidents." ”

Father Yang said, "Then you can leave it to my grandson!" ”

Yang Mubai still wanted to excuse himself, but Yang's mother said: "Mumu, you can keep it!" These two things are of no use to us. Keep it just in case. Remember, keep it and don't let anyone know. ”

Yang Mubai said: "My daughter remembers. Then let Akizuki put them away. ”

They chatted for a while, and Qiuyue and the nurse brought the child over. Yang's father and Yang's mother couldn't put it down and kept teasing them. A harmonious and warm scene.

When Pei Shengyuan came, Yang's father and Yang's mother knelt down to salute, but Pei Shengyuan refused: "You don't have to salute." ”

Father Yang and Mother Yang insisted on kneeling and saluting, but Pei Shengyuan couldn't do it, so he went with them. After the salute, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, it is rare for my father and mother to come back and bring gifts to the child, you see." Then take out a pair of silver bracelets. ”

Pei Shengyuan looked at it and said, "A very good bracelet, it can ward off evil spirits, right?" There is Lord Lao Guozhang. ”

Father Yang said: "It's okay, it's just a small courtesy, and please don't dislike the emperor." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "This silver bracelet is excellent. After thinking about it for a while, Pei Shengyuan said: "Lord Guozhang, the last time in Luoyang, I was reckless, and I ask Lord Guozhang to forgive me." ”

Father Yang said: "It's already over, the emperor doesn't have to mind." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Yes, it's all in the past, everyone has forgotten it!" Hehe. ”

Father Yang said: "It's not too early, the old man won't bother and leave." ”

Yang Mubai was very reluctant to them, but he couldn't help it. Reluctantly sent them to the gate of the palace. Look at them as they get old

Pei Shengyuan hugged her from behind and asked, "Are you reluctant?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Of course I can't bear it. Maybe Peony is right, think about my parents are old, there are no children to take care of, and their daughter is married, and they can't fulfill their filial piety, which is very pitiful. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "So the last is a big crime." This is true for both women and men. If you're not at ease, would you like to send more people to wait on them? ”

Yang Mubai shook his head and said, "How can anyone have a reliable son and daughter." ”

He Shengnan is recuperating, Yang Mubai has been idle for more than 20 days, and now he is busy taking care of the two children. Qiu Yue also got busy.

Fortunately, now that the child is older, he is not so easy to get sick, so pay a little attention on weekdays, and the nurse has invited one more, and Yang Mubai can also cope with it.

Thinking that Yang Cheng and Princess Yongjing might leave for Lanzhao in the near future, Yang Mubai invited them to come to the palace to set up a banquet and entertain them, and also allowed them to get together.

Zhang Shuo, Xu Lang, Peony, Qiuyue, Yang Cheng, and Princess Yongjing all came over early, and waited for the two princes to fall asleep before starting the banquet.

Pei Shengyuan said first: "This party is for the two princes and princesses, I salute you with a cup, everyone drink happily, and there is no need to be restrained." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, the queen mother." ”

Yang Mubai drank some wine and said, "It's been a long time since everyone sat down like this to chat, it feels so good." Since having two children, I have carefully put almost all of it on them. ”

Peony said, "Isn't it? A woman who has a child, where does she have her own time. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, you have worked hard. ”

Xu Lang also said with concern: "Peony, thank you, I have been running the house, I have been busy all day and have not helped." ”

Qiu Yue couldn't look at it and said, "You people who have children, why can't you do without children in three sentences?" Can you talk about something that we unmarried people can listen to? ”

Zhang Shuo also helped: "That is, every day is the child's, the child's." ”

Xu Lang choked them back and said, "You can also get married and have children!" When you have a baby, you'll know. ”

Qiu Yue blushed and retorted, "Who is going to marry him, Xu Lang, don't talk nonsense." Peony, you don't care. ”

Peony said: "The husband sings and the wife follows, I don't dare to care about him, as long as he doesn't care about me." ”

Xu Lang said again: "Qiuyue, look at it, you should be gentle as a woman, and it is the right way to teach your husband and children at home." ”

Zhang Shuo saw that Qiuyue was besieged, and hurriedly said: "Qiuyue is not a peony, she is powerful." Even if she is married, she doesn't need to teach her husband and children at home, her duty is to protect the queen and share her worries for the emperor. Who says women can't have their own careers? After speaking, he looked at Qiu Yue proudly and asked her to agree.

Qiu Yue was very embarrassed, he agreed with what Zhang Shuo said, after getting married, he didn't have to teach his husband and children at home, but she hadn't agreed to marry him yet. was embarrassed, Yang Mubai said: "Zhang Shuo, you are simply amazing, I also think that not all women in the world have to teach their husbands and children at home, women have the strength and can also do what they like." ”

Princess Yongjing also said: "Yes, after I got married, I was still training the army in the barracks. Powerful people should not be divided into men and women. ”

Yang Cheng also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I will never interfere with her, she can do whatever she wants." ”

This dog food is sprinkled wave by wave, and Qiu Yue is really enough to eat.

Xu Lang said: "I don't care what you think, anyway, my peony is in charge of housework at home, I am very grateful to her, she is the best." After saying that, kiss her hand.

Peony shook him off and said, "You are serious, so many people are watching." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, what did you say last time?" Public intimacy is punishable by a month's imprisonment. ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "I testified, we were all present at the time. ”

Pei Shengyuan was very embarrassed.

Xu Lang said: "Haha, just now the emperor grabbed your hand, and you are also intimate in public, you have to punish first." ”

Just now he was still embarrassed about whether to punish Xu Lang, Pei Shengyuan now feels that he is not embarrassed at all, he said: "Xu Lang has repeatedly refused to listen to dissuasion, and he dares to contradict the queen and be fined for a month. I and the queen held hands, which was not intimate. ”

Xu Lang: "......"

Qiu Yue said proudly: "Let you be proud." ”

Yang Mubai looked at Princess Yongjing and asked, "Princess Yongjing, when do you plan to have a son?" ”

Princess Yongjing blushed and said, "We haven't thought about it yet, just let it be." ”

Yang Cheng said: "Yes, we are not ready to be a father and mother yet. ”

Xu Lang said: "What is there to prepare for, if you are pregnant and give birth, just raise them well." ”

Zhang Shuo said: "How can it be so simple......

Before he finished speaking, he was scolded back by Xu Lang: "You are not married yet, how can you know these things." also dared to express his opinion, which simply made people laugh off their big teeth. ”

Zhang Shuo: "......"

Xu Lang said again: "Am I not right? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Qiuyue, let's get married too!" Is it good for you to marry me, they always bully us like this. ”

Qiu Yue said coldly: "It's not good. ”
