The queen stood up, straightened her clothes, and said to the two of them, "Okay, it's not too early, presumably the things you need, the Ministry of Works has also been prepared, you can go quickly." ”

"Yes."

Li Minyue pulled Wan Bingyu to say goodbye to the queen, and then walked towards the outside of the palace, and met the Seven Princes and Heng Xinyuan on the way, they were also preparing to leave the palace, so they went along the way.

"Bingyu, Your Highness and I are going to the military department later, you can go to the arsenal of the household department with Princess Minyue, be careful in everything, there must be no problems at tonight's night banquet." Before parting, Heng Xinyuan told him again and again before leaving with confidence.

Min Yue took Wan Bingyu to the outside of the palace gate, sat in the sedan chair that had been prepared for a long time, and left, tossing until dusk, before returning with a cart of fireworks.

In the Yanqing Palace, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra has gradually sounded, the prince and grandson, and the princess and concubine have also sat down according to the rank, the prince and the seven princes are lined up, the emperor and the queen are sitting on it, majestic and noble, the whole palace is almost like a fairyland, more than a dozen dancing girls in the hall are dancing, and laughter is ringing.

Wan Bingyu quietly sat behind Heng Xinyuan, pulled his sleeve, and smiled at him, Heng Xinyuan asked quietly, "Are you ready?" No problem. ”

"Hmm...... I watched it myself, there was no problem, and now the fireworks have been handed over to a eunuch outside the door. Wan Bingyu looked down at a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, all of which he had never seen, and thought to himself, this is not much worse than the Manchu and Han banquets, and was about to pick up the chopsticks to start, but was stopped by Heng Xinyuan, "Your Majesty hasn't started eating yet......

She put down her chopsticks in frustration again, and looked at the people in the palace in confusion, all of them were jeweled, full of golden hairpins and hostas, but she sat cross-legged on the ground, and couldn't even move, so she could only maintain a posture.

Concubine Wu and Concubine Qing are two people, you and I are talking endlessly, the crown prince and the six princes are also brothers and sisters in the open, secretly testing each other, everyone seems to be wearing a mask on their faces, boring and sinister, it is better to be like Min Yue, a plate of sugar felt can be happy for a long time.

The music gradually fell, and the emperor raised his glass and said to everyone, "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, everyone does not need to be polite, enjoy it to the fullest." ”

A congratulatory sound fell, Wan Bingyu picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to eat, a bite down, the mood suddenly improved a lot, the sound of music began to sound around, Kabuki began to dance on stage again with a gorgeous water sleeve dance, Wan Bingyu sighed in his heart, he had also seen the real fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon.

After three rounds of wine, a bright moon has risen in the sky outside, everyone is full of wine and food, sitting together and chatting, the emperor waved his hand, let people stop singing and dancing, stood up and shook his body with a drunken face and said, "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Shu also prepared a wonderful performance for you." ”

He glanced at Wan Bingyu in the crowd, she smiled and nodded, turned around and slipped out of the hall to prepare.

"Then please come with me and watch it."

With the support of the palace people, the emperor, queen, prince, concubine and princess got up one after another and walked outside together, and in an instant a long corridor was crowded with people.

At the bottom of the steps, Wan Bingyu had already asked people to prepare the fireworks properly, and when the emperor gave an order, she took an incense stick and lit the fire hyacinth, but this time, what she was waiting for was not brilliant fireworks.

As soon as the hyacinth was lit for a second, Wan Bingyu smelled a pungent smell of gunpowder, and there was a stinging sound inside the cartridge, which was definitely not a normal reaction when fireworks were set off.

Before he could react, a choking yellow smoke rose in front of him, Wan Bingyu quickly turned around in a panic and shouted at everyone, "Quickly retreat!" It's going to explode! ”

As she spoke, she saw Min Yue, who was hiding behind the emperor and staring at a pair of frightened eyes, and without thinking too much, she pounced on her, protecting her with her equally thin body, and also blocking the emperor.

"Bang!! Bang!! ”

After two loud bangs, everyone was knocked to the ground by a powerful impact, and before their eyes, a raging flame slammed at them, spitting tongues of fire at them.

"Your Majesty, get out of the way!" She used all her strength to push the emperor and Minyue beside her out, but herself, because she couldn't dodge in time, was burned to her arm by a flying flame, and her skin was suddenly open and blood was dripping.

Where have the harem concubines seen such a scene, they all howl as if they were attacked by fierce beasts, "It's on fire!" It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

"Oh my God! Hurry up! The fire is coming to the palace! ”

Dozens of palace people hurriedly carried water and extinguished the fire, and they were busy in a mess, but fortunately there were not many explosives burning, and the fire was quickly extinguished, but everyone present was seriously frightened.

Heng Xinyuan walked through the crowd, ran to Wan Bingyu's side, looked at the horrific wound on her arm, and asked heartbrokenly, "Bingyu, are you okay?" Your arm is so badly injured, I'll go to the doctor right away!" ”

"No need for now...... Wan Bingyu's face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat were the size of beans on his forehead, he bit his bloodless lip tightly, and asked him tremblingly, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother...... It's okay......"

"It's okay, everyone's okay." Heng Xinyuan helped her up and returned to the main hall, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon chair, staring at her in shock, and the rest of the people were also frowning, touching their hearts, with a frightened look on their faces.

Wan Bingyu knew that she must have caused a big disaster this time, so she could only kneel on the ground and endure the sharp pain in her arm and said, "Your Majesty, it's all the people's daughter's fault for not carefully checking the quality of the fireworks...... will have such a big impact...... Please punish ...... Your Majesty."

Who knows, before the emperor could speak, the prince couldn't hold it back, stood up and slapped the table frantically, and shouted, "Of course it's your fault!" If it weren't for the father and queen mother, they would have been killed by you, the demon girl, a long time ago! According to the palace, you are deliberately plotting to kill your father and queen mother! Someone! Arrest this enchantress for me, put her in prison, and wait to be dealt with! ”

With an order, several yellow-clothed guards instantly surrounded the door, sandwiching her in it, although Wan Bingyu knew that she almost made a big mistake, but she would not admit to the trumped-up charges, especially the title of a demon girl.

"Your Majesty, the maiden definitely did not deliberately murder the emperor, today's incident is just an accident!" She argued vigorously.

Heng Xinyuan, who was on the side, also knelt beside her, and anxiously explained, "Your Majesty, Bingyu has no such intentions, she is also seriously injured and urgently needs to be healed by the Imperial Doctor, I don't know if Your Majesty can allow it, let the Imperial Doctor heal Bingyu first, and then investigate this matter?" ”

The prince interrupted directly, leaving no room at all, "No! Today's events are no accident! If she is released, who knows what will happen! Heng Xinyuan, you are his husband, so you will naturally go to your own mother, otherwise, it will be you planning this matter together! What kind of fireworks show did you use last night to attract your father to summon you to the palace so that you can carry out your assassination plan! Say, "Who are you?" ”
