Chapter 52: Substitute Maid (24)
Isn't this a trap, waiting for yourself and others to jump down, right?!
In an instant, Situ Khotan broke out in a cold sweat.
No, he has to tell the third brother, otherwise he won't really get into the trap, and it will be a dead end.
"I mean, you didn't really plan anything, did you?"
At the moment when Situ Tian's heart was frightened, Xia Yan's voice next to him came faintly, so frightened that he almost jumped three feet high.
That is, the psychological quality of being exercised in the cannibalistic palace is not bad, Situ Khotan controlled himself, otherwise, he would have become a joke in the mouths of the palace people at this time.
Walking and walking, he suddenly jumped up, and he looked frightened, and those who didn't know thought he had seen a ghost.
Situ Tian was a little embarrassed, and lowered his voice to scold, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”
"Nonsense? You didn't plan anything, why are you so nervous? Xia Yan carefully looked at Situ Khotan's expression, and saw that Situ Khotan was uncomfortable, she sneered and said: "Don't die, otherwise I will kill you first, if you dare to implicate me, I guarantee that your fate is worse than death." ”
"You, you're threatening me?" Situ Tian's eyes widened, his first reaction was not to be angry, but to be surprised that someone dared to threaten him, which felt a little novel.
"Hmph." Xia Yan snorted coldly and ignored people.
Situ Tian walked a few steps, then tilted his head to look at Xia Yan, who was walking in front of Xia Yan, but now he was almost parallel to her.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the main hall, Situ Tian suddenly asked, "Hey, if this prince affects you, what will you do?" ”
I'm curious about it?!
After thinking about it for a long time, Situ Khotan didn't think that Xia Yan could do anything to him, except to make some trouble for him willfully, what else could she do?!
"You'll know when the time comes." Xia Yan showed a smile, and Situ Khotan suddenly felt inexplicably frightened.
Turning his head away, no longer looking at Xia Yan, a strange woman, Situ Tian put his mind on tonight's affairs.
Walking into the main hall, the first few princes have already arrived, each seated, and the princesses and concubines are also holding shelves, sitting in front of the small table drinking tea and eating snacks, and occasionally talking to each other, which is also dispensable nonsense.
Xia Yan lowered his eyebrows, and followed behind Situ Tian very obediently, and sat on their seats.
Situ Khotan's eyes caught a glimpse of Xia Yan's performance, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, this woman was so good at pretending that he almost believed that she was harmless, cowardly, and ornamental.
"Sixth brother and sister, why don't you come out on weekdays? When we have time, we are also close to each other, after all, the identity is the same, but there are not many people who can speak. "The four princesses, that is, the princesses of Lijun, released kindness to Xia Yan across the table of the five princes.
It's just that this kindness is too deliberate.
Xia Yan turned her head and smiled, and said, "Okay, don't bother me with the fourth sister-in-law then." ”
"How can it be, I can't ask for it, I'm bored at home every day, if you come, we still have a pastime." Princess Lijun smiled gently.
Mo Yan is not there, she is the only one who comes to pay homage to the emperor, so she naturally has to brush up her sense of existence, so as not to be ignored.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are too partial, you only call the sixth brother and sister, why don't you call me for a pastime." The five princesses were not happy, so they picked thorns at the exit.
The fifth prince sat next to him and smiled lightly, the confrontation between women's families, he was not easy to participate in as a man, but it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law's appearance.
"The sixth brother and sister are newcomers, so naturally they want to be closer, and they can't be more familiar with you, do you still need me to greet you when you come to the door? You can come whenever you want, I'll sweep the couch to greet you. King Lijun still had that gentle face, but he even cut and beat the five princesses' questions to disappear invisibly.
"That's what you said, when I come to the door, don't beat me out." The five princesses didn't make trouble, and they were a little unwilling.
"Look at what you said, I'm the kind of wicked person."
Xia Yan held the teacup in his hand, turned around and played, and lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two people next to him.
Situ Tian glanced at her, feeling a little complicated in his heart, this woman is very troublesome, but I have to admit that she is a smart person, if only she could be used by him.
You know, the lady's strategy is sometimes much better than gold and silver.
Thinking of this, Situ Tian's gaze changed when he looked at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan: "......" Why do you have a chill down your spine?!
"The emperor has arrived!"
A slightly sharp, deep voice sounded.
Xia Yan was shocked, how did he shout this voice? Talent!
The audience was silent, and everyone consciously stood up to welcome the emperor's review.
Because he is not used to it, Xia Yan is half a beat slower than others.
Fortunately, everyone lowered their heads, and no one noticed her.
The next procedure was quite boring, everyone gave the emperor birthday in turn, and the center of the field performed songs and dances, and the small table was full of cold food, which made people have no appetite at all.
The most important thing is that Xia Yan found that the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird.
As time went on, the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
No matter what gift the emperor saw, he nodded with an indifferent expression, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but Xia Yan could see his nervousness through his hand holding the wine glass.
The emperor is nervous, nervous about what? In other words, what is it that can make the emperor nervous?
, it can't be someone who wants to rebel, right?!
This guess suddenly popped up in his mind, and Xia Yan almost dropped the teacup.
Situ Khotan wants to rebel?!
Xia Yan's first reaction was that she couldn't be buried with her, and if she wanted to die, she would die by herself, and she had to live well.
It's bad luck to live to see the male and female protagonists!
But then she reversed that idea.
Situ Khotan is not stupid, and he has no idea of being an emperor, and the third prince is even less stupid, he is the final winner, for him, it is not yet to the point of trying everything.
Therefore, today's incident must not have been planned by the two of them, at most, the two of them will plan and reap some benefits.
In just a few minutes, Xia Yan guessed the matter. Nine is not far from ten.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Yan heard the sound of the cup breaking.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that the main hall seemed to be pressed the pause button, and everyone maintained the posture they had just had, and no one moved.
There are a lot of confused eyes sweeping around, not knowing what is happening, but others don't move, and they don't dare to move.
The corners of the emperor's mouth curled slightly, put down the cup in his hand, and just cleared his throat and wanted to speak, when he heard the sound of shouting and killing from outside the hall, and the sound of weapons intersecting.
Suddenly, everyone in the hall became nervous.
Xia Yan silently lowered his body, looked sideways at the emperor, and saw a silver light heading straight for the emperor.
'Clank...... the sound of gold and iron intersecting, and the crossbow bolts fired at the Emperor were struck to the ground.
A man in black wearing a silver mask appeared in front of the emperor, and then more men in black appeared in the main hall.
Situ Khotan's uncontrollable body began to tremble, he had already thought of the emperor very much, but he didn't expect that when something happened, the emperor's power appeared, which was even more powerful than he imagined.
Now it seems that his plan with the third brother has come to naught, and the emperor's people are enough to quell the rebellion.
Now he only hopes that the people under his command can have some eyesight, and withdraw when the situation is not good, but don't rush up to die!
