Yan Qi let go of Yan Liangyi.

Looking at the headless snake body twisting and entwining on the ground, I felt a chill in my heart.

He looked at the people in the hall with his brows furrowed, and secretly thought, is this an accident?

The doors of the temple were wide open.

The Praetorian Army rushed in with a cold wind.

The armor rubbed against it with a rattling sound.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely cold.

The crown prince came to the emperor and the queen, looked at the little snake blood splashed on the emperor's shoulder sleeve, suppressed the horror in his heart, and said nervously: "Is the father and queen mother injured?" ”

The emperor and the queen both shook their heads, and then looked at the mess on the side of the female dependents, and hurriedly said, "Go and have a look." ”

The prince nodded hurriedly.

Yan Gu squeezed away the panicked people and came to the emperor's side.

Looking at Wang Zhan, who was guarding the emperor's side, he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly check if there are still living snakes in the palace." As he spoke, he said to the emperor: "Please also ask my father to leave the Zhaoyang Palace as soon as possible." ”

The emperor looked at the people in the first hall, frowned, and said, "They are here, how can I leave alone!" Saying that, he looked at Wang Zhan: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and investigate!" ”

Wang Zhan was shocked and moved.

Jiang Ji felt guilty for not being able to discover the danger around Jiang Lingran for the first time, and saw that Yan Qi was standing and missing half of Jiang Lingran's clothes, and he came to Jiang Lingran's side with a complicated expression.

pulled her to the side, confirmed that she was not injured, and sent her to Wan Boniang's side.

Only then did he go to the emperor to ask for guilt: "The last general deserves to die, disturbing the holy driver." ”

The emperor personally helped him up and said with relief: "If you hadn't disturbed the holy driver, I am afraid that I would have died under the mouth of the snake by this time." Hurry up. ”

The queen nodded in agreement.

At that moment, everyone's attention was on the sword sent by Ruzhou, and no one expected that there would be a snake.

If it weren't for Jiang Ji's quick eyes, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Jiang Ji stood up with the emperor's hand, bowed his head and said respectfully: "The emperor's mandate of heaven, how can a small disaster be taken." ”

The emperor smiled and nodded.

Wang Zhanlai came back to his life, saw Jiang Ji, and thought of their brief confrontation just now.

It's rare to have such skills at such a young age.

Today, I have a meritorious service, and the future is immeasurable!

He waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the palace has been thoroughly investigated, no live snakes have been found, and no one has been injured. ”

The emperor looks better.

When this happens, the banquet will not be able to continue.

Yan Gu was responsible for arranging for the guests to leave the palace.

The queen took the frightened princesses and princesses back to Chengqian Palace.

The emperor went to the Qinzheng Hall with a gloomy face.

The crown prince, the king of Rui, and the king of Xiang followed.

Yan Qi thought about it and followed.

After finishing the affairs of the Zhaoyang Palace, Yan Gu went to the Qinzheng Hall non-stop, knelt down as soon as he entered the hall, and blamed himself: "It was the sons and daughters who did not do well, and after shocking the father and the queen mother, they also ruined the Longevity Festival, and the sons and daughters deserved to die." ”

By the end of the conversation, I was choked up.

Rui Wang looked at Yan Gu coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "I told you a long time ago that if you don't have enough ability, don't be strong." Do you know how serious the situation is today? ”

"If the father and queen mother have a good thing, you will not be able to offset the sins on your body even if you die a thousand times."

Yan Gu was even more guilty when he was scolded by King Rui, but he didn't dare to refute it, and said: "It's all my fault, I failed to eliminate all dangerous factors in all aspects, and I ask my father to punish him." ”

Yan Qi knew how hard Yan Gu worked for this Halloween Festival.

Seeing his cautious appearance, he sighed in his heart.

I couldn't get used to King Rui's aggressiveness, so he twisted his eyebrows and said: "It's just an accident, fortunately it didn't cause serious consequences, and the harem should pay more attention to snake prevention." ”

As soon as King Rui saw that Yan Qi exonerated Yan Gu, the head of the gun turned and aimed at Yan Qi, and sneered: "Zi'an said lightly, do you know what kind of snake it is today?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the emperor, and said with horror on his face: "Father, the snake is called the short-tailed pit viper, also known as flying on the grass." ”

"It is fast and agile, and what is even more terrifying is that it is extremely poisonous, and an elephant will die within a moment of being bitten by it!"

"Such a vicious thing has mixed into the Zhaoyang Hall and climbed on the dragon chair, someone must have deliberately done evil." As he spoke, he waved his hands and said awe-inspiringly: "Please ask my father and emperor to send his sons and ministers to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

As soon as Yan Gu heard this, the whole person panicked, and said with a white face: "Erchen is wronged, how dare Erchen let the snake enter Zhaoyang Palace, someone must have deliberately framed Erchen." ”

King Rui heard his tone as if he was about to bite back, and said angrily: "You still dare to quibble, this Halloween is organized by you, who else but you?" ”

Yan Gu was speechless.

Stunned for a moment, frightened, his body trembled slightly, tears fell, he looked at King Rui in a panic, and then looked at the emperor's eyes full of speculation, and panicked almost incoherently defended: "There are very few snakes in the palace, I didn't expect there to be snakes in such a cold weather, and besides, the prince has never seen snakes when he was preparing for it in previous years, I really don't know how snakes got in." ”

Crying and walking two steps, he looked at the emperor earnestly and said: "How dare Erchen, Erchen just wants to hold a birthday banquet for his father, Erchen is really wronged, please ask my father to see it!" As he spoke, he slammed his head to the ground, his shoulders shaking and a low whimper wandering through the empty hall.

Speaking unintentionally, the listener is intentional.

As soon as Yan Gu's words fell, everyone's expressions changed abruptly.

Yes, it was good in previous years, why did a snake appear this year?

The emperor frowned, and his expression became obscure.

King Rui and King Xiang looked at each other and looked at the prince in unison.

In previous years, the prince's office was safe and sound, but this year he was robbed of an errand by Yan Gu, and there was an accident at the banquet.

Yan Qi also frowned, glanced at Yan Gu, who was kneeling down, and then looked at the prince.

The crown prince looked at him and said calmly, "In this way, everyone who attended the banquet today is suspicious. ”

When King Rui heard this, the corners of his mouth sneered.

His eyes turned a few times, and he asked suspiciously: "What good can they do if they murder their father?" ”

If the emperor is bitten to death today, the ultimate beneficiary is the crown prince who is the prince!

When the time comes, he can put the blame on Yan Gu at will, be innocent, and ascend the throne as emperor without blood.

Yan Qi saw the sadness of loneliness from the prince's calm face, and his brows furrowed deeper for a while.

"This year is a cold spring, and the snake can't recover so quickly."

"There may be something strange about this, but before the matter is decided, can all we do is doubt each other and slander each other?" said that he looked at King Rui, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

When the emperor heard this, his expression stretched slightly, and he took a sip of tea.

The tea is made of snow chrysanthemum tea.

Glancing at Yan Gu, the emperor sighed and said, "Get up." ”

Yan Gu looked up at the emperor with some flattery, and then got up a little stunned.

King Rui got a warning glance from Yan Qi, snorted coldly in his heart, and said, "This shows that this snake was deliberately put in." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the prince casually, and said meaningfully: "Besides, only suspicious people will be suspected!" ”
