Chapter 225

The courtiers and envoys who were kneeling on both sides all looked up at Mei Guifei, and then after glancing at the people they knew well, they lowered their heads one after another, muttering something in their hearts.

Xia Rongxin lowered his head and bent his knees, and Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu behind him were also the same, but the emperor who was high above did not open his eyes to look at them, he sat on the dragon chair with his head propped up and pressed his head, looking very bored, and no one dared to remind him.

Lu Huiling followed behind and saluted, and then quietly raised his head to look at Qi Bingyu, and after seeing that he didn't open his eyes, he slowly turned his gaze to Lu Gaohong, who was standing beside the former crown prince Qi Jingyang, and Lu Gaohong was really looking at Lu Huiling.

Lu Gaohong has been by the emperor's side since the beginning of today's feast, he is the head of the hundred officials, and he is also the brother of Empress Mingxian, so he is naturally highly valued by the emperor, and this also makes Lu Gaohong more convenient than others to know some information.

Although Lu Huiling is not serving by the emperor's side, her father has always been by the emperor's side, she only needs to convey a questioning look to Lu Gaohong, no need to say more, the two of them are naturally clear in their hearts.

Lu Gaohong nodded, indicating that everything was under control, except for the previous Qin Yuandao, which was a little difficult, the rest did not make people think that this matter would be related to Lu Gaohong.

I don't know why, Qin Yuandao seems to be born with this kind of insight, no matter whose matter it is, as long as Qin Yuandao knows, he will investigate and think extremely seriously, which is why the emperor also values Qin Yuandao.

And today's matter, Qin Yuandao only listened to He Sheng's words that Liang Huanqing was almost killed by an arrow, but after a while, he hinted that the emperor should focus on investigating the courtiers.

Lu Gaohong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at that time, it turned out that this matter was indeed related to himself, but this matter was very important and involved a lot, Qin Yuandao could see here, he was really a difficult person.

When Lu Gaohong thought of this, he couldn't help but turn around to take a look at Qin Yuandao, but this time he turned around, it frightened him.

Qin Yuandao is gone!

Where will Qin Yuandao go? Why is it that after a while, people disappear? Lu Gaohong sat on his knees in front of the palace, and his movements did not dare to be too large, for fear that the emperor would see it, but Qin Yuandao suddenly couldn't find a figure, and Lu Gaohong's mind was blank.

Qi Jingyang knelt beside his uncle Lu Gaohong, and after seeing Lu Gaohong look behind him a few times, he looked flustered and restless, put his hands on his knees, and tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, his eyes suddenly became nervous, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qi Jingyang felt strange, looked up at his father, and found that his father was still closing his eyes and recuperating, so he slowly approached Lu Gaohong and asked softly, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Gaohong hurriedly glanced at Qi Jingyang, and then thought that when Liang Liang came just now, Qin Yuandao was still here, thinking that he had followed Liang Liang away.

How did Liang Liang enter the palace? What is he looking for Qin Yuandao to do? This made Lu Gaohong puzzled.

Qi Jingyang looked at Lu Gaohong looking at him, but he didn't say a word, he felt a little puzzled in his heart, he asked again: "Uncle... What's wrong with you? ”

Lu Gaohong came back to his senses and shook his head, this kind of thing is a long story, and on this occasion, you can't talk so much to Qi Jingyang.

Lu Huiling looked at Lu Gaohong's nervous face, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, she looked at Lu Gaohong questioningly, but where did she say these three words clearly?

Lu Gaohong shook his head, he was in the main hall at this time, and all the officials were kneeling in the Qinzheng Palace, and it was difficult to communicate with each other. No one knew what Liang Xiao and Qin Yuandao were doing when they went out.

What exactly do they know? This made Lu Gaohong very uneasy.

Looking at Lu Gaohong, who looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Huiling's palms holding the handkerchief were also sweating slightly.

They naturally knew what would happen if they did this kind of thing, if the matter was revealed, but they were confident that they had done nothing in this matter, and it was impossible for anyone to find out, but Lu Gaohong was very uneasy when he saw that Qin Yuandao was not there. Seeing Lu Gaohong's strange appearance, Lu Huiling naturally knew that some unexpected situations had occurred in his heart, but the two couldn't talk, and they couldn't make eye contact.

Right now, in the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor did not speak, and no one dared to move. Rao is Mei Guifei and the princess and princess bowed together, and after a long time, their bodies began to tremble slightly, and before the emperor did not speak, they could only keep moving, and they didn't dare to move.

He Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, bent over and ran to the emperor's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here." ”

Qi Bingyu propped his head and pinched his eyebrows, there are so many things today, I really have never encountered such a situation before, my body is becoming more and more powerless, and I have just discussed things with the ministers for a while, and I began to feel a little sleepy.

After He Sheng woke him up, he slowly woke up, a muddy sigh came out of his throat, he pinched his eyebrows, his vision slowly turned from blurry to clear, and then turned to Xia Rongxin, who was curtskly bowing in the center of the hall.

"Let's be flat." Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin solemnly, and his eyes were completely devoid of the previous warmth and affection, and what was replaced by businesslike indifference.

Xia Rongxin got up according to her words, she couldn't lose her honor in front of the palace, but her legs and feet were already numb, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, so that she would not fall.

Anyone can see that Mei Guifei Niangniang is not in a good state today, her face is like paper ash, her lips are as pale as snow, under such a reflection, her slightly red eyes are even more terrifying, her body trembles slightly and is slightly thin, which makes people feel distressed.

But at this time, in Qi Bingyu's eyes, these have all become cozy.

After Xia Rongxin stood up, she still stood in place with low eyebrows and didn't dare to speak, she closed her eyes slightly, she had ten thousand words to say in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, she knew that at this time, there must be many people waiting behind her to see her jokes, and it was the first time for her to stand in front of the ministers with a guilty body.

Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu stood behind them, facing the emperor with iron-faced faces and so many courtiers, they also restrained their usual publicity, and stood in place to listen to the emperor's fate.

Among the courtiers, there are people who are good friends with the prince and general, seeing that Liang Huanqing can stand here safe and sound, a heart is finally settled, if something really happens, maybe what will happen to General Liang when he comes back, he is famous for doting on this little daughter.

Qi Bingyu frowned and looked at Liang Huanqing under the case, and he was relieved in his heart, whether he was worried about Liang Huanqing or Qi Wangshu, it was a great luck to see Liang Huanqing standing here safe and sound.

"Today's feast suddenly encountered such a dangerous situation, Princess Wangshu's arrow box was replaced, which directly endangered the life of Princess Jing, which was suspected of a large number of people, not only that, but also threatened the lives of all the envoys and guests, and the banquet was terminated, which was an insult to the face of my Heavenly Empire. The reason has not yet been ascertained, but as the host of this feast, Concubine Mei, you must give everyone an explanation! ”

Qi Bingyu looked at them intently, and after a long time, he slowly said this.

He said these words in front of all the courtiers and envoys, but he was also secretly observing their facial expressions.

This was the first time he had investigated the matter in public since the feast accident, and some people might not know the cause and effect of the incident, so their expressions were all the more worthy of closer observation.

Lu Gaohong knew the emperor's intentions, and deliberately lowered his head like the courtiers around him, not looking at the emperor or Mei Guifei, the matter had already been done, but Qin Yuandao's departure made Lu Gaohong a little worried.

Qi Bingyu's words smashed on Xia Rongxin's heart word by word, and she fainted unbearably several times, but there were many people secretly waiting to see her jokes, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at themselves behind them, worried about themselves, these two children were obviously victims, but they couldn't get the preferential treatment they deserved because of their own reasons, which made Xia Rongxin have to hold on, she must hold on, and stand up until the truth is revealed.

Xia Rongxin slowly knelt down, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu saw this, and also knelt behind them with An Fen, they knew that Lu Huiling's purpose was to make the mother concubine fall out of favor, let Liang Huanqing die, and let Qi Wangshu fall into self-blame forever, they wanted to advance and retreat with the mother concubine, as long as Liang Lin and Zhao Zhao came back with evidence, then everything would not be a problem.

Lu Huiling watched them kneel, but she didn't want to kneel down, so she slowly took a few steps back, knelt down with the courtiers, and looked coldly at the three women in the hall that she hated the most in her life, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up an imperceptible smile.

Xia Rongxin knelt in the main hall, sighed in her heart, and then raised her head, looking directly at Qi Bingyu with red tears, she said: "The concubine is guilty of this matter, and the crime is not kept careful and rigorous, so it caused the unsatisfactory end of the feast, and the concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor." But the emperor, the mistake of this feast, the concubines knew that someone deliberately framed the concubines, and they also hoped that the emperor would be aware of it! ”

Xia Rongxin looked at Qi Bingyu's eyes at her, indifferent and bored, thinking that this matter was indeed too big, no matter who was behind the scenes, it was enough to make the Celestial Dynasty lose face.

Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu glanced at each other, they knew best who was behind the scenes, but now they were going to borrow the hand of the concubine to pull out the nobles, so that they could find the evidence of Lu Huiling.

Concubine Mei's words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake, blowing up the entire Qinzheng Palace, and the courtiers and envoys couldn't help but talk about it.

Why did Concubine Mei know who was behind the scenes? The emperor searched for so long and only caught a few thieves and assassins, and he didn't find anything about the feast, how could Concubine Mei know who it was?

Those envoys who knew their innocence in their hearts looked at Concubine Mei who was kneeling in the hall with a playful attitude, and had a lively attitude, this was always to participate in the feast of the Celestial Empire, and after giving such gifts, they had not been able to participate in the feast, so they had to watch some excitement.

The courtiers' side exploded even more, Qin Yuandao had said that he would let the emperor investigate the matter thoroughly, and his words pointed to the dispute between King Jing and the princelings in the court, and now Mei Guifei said that she knew, could it really be a disaster caused by the dispute between the two parties?

Lu Huiling was calm in her heart, she was confident that Concubine Mei would never know her plan, and she was also 100% relieved that she was 100% at ease, after all, the lives of the nobles' family were all in their own hands, how could they not obey her, poor Yin Zhi, until now, still feel that her death can be exchanged for the life of her family.

But Lu Gaohong was far from being so calm, he listened to Mei Guifei say such things, and thought of Qin Yuandao leaving early, and couldn't help but wonder if Mei Guifei already knew something.

And Qi Jingyang, who was sitting on the side, looked at Mei Guifei with a frank look, and didn't think too much in his heart, but he was also curious about why Mei Guifei knew who the murderer was as soon as she woke up, and if she knew, then why didn't she find out before the feast, and would condone that person to destroy the feast?

Facing the chaotic Qinzheng Palace, Qi Bingyu frowned, only felt a pain in his head, he pinched his eyebrows, and waved his hand to He Sheng, He Sheng's father-in-law blessed his body, and then shouted loudly: "Silence-"

The Qinzheng Hall returned to calm, Xia Rongxin knelt on the ground, looking at Qi Bingyu with an expressionless face, and there was no original starlight in her eyes.

"Since Concubine Mei said that she knew that someone framed you, do you know who that person is?" Qi Bingyu asked with a frown.

When Xia Rongxin said those words, Qi Bingyu vaguely felt that Xia Rongxin might know something, maybe the truth of the matter had never been touched by himself.

Xia Rongxin looked at Qi Bingyu with a calm look, she remembered that when Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu asked themselves, she had said the name of the nobleman, and now that she thinks about it, the nobleman is indeed very strange, she doesn't fight or grab on weekdays, but now she deliberately approached her, and this kind of thing happened to happen, how can people not doubt it?

"Noble of Lanyuan Pavilion, Yin Zhi." Xia Rongxin said this sentence word by word.

In an instant, the Qinzheng Hall was boiling again.

The courtiers' eyes widened in astonishment, such a big feast, could the mastermind behind such a big feast be a lonely nobleman in the palace? Could it be that this feast has something to do with the battle of the harem? It's staggering.

The envoys also talked a lot, thinking that the matter of coming to today's feast was for the emperor's family affairs, and it was worth coming to this trip, and they could see the jokes of the emperor of the Celestial Empire.

When Lu Gaohong heard this, his heart slowly relaxed, thinking that Concubine Mei didn't know about it, so Qin Yuandao and Liang Lian went out privately, maybe because of other things, and after they left the palace for a while, they would investigate carefully.
