Chapter 452: Family Banquet Assassination
It didn't take long for Xiao Luo to disappear, as if he had never appeared, and the people in Murong Lin's mansion tacitly did not mention it, and soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, which was a good time to spend a full moon.
Officials from various places were invited to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, saying that it was a family banquet, but in fact it was a gathering of reputation and status.
The man is for a bright future, but no one thinks it's wrong.
Feng Xiaoyue felt so, she just sat quietly on the side, without the intention of talking to others, of course, she still responded when some women came to talk.
It's just that her whole person's aura seems to be rejected thousands of miles away, and she will only soften when she faces Murong Lin, but that's all.
"Most of the wine here is spirits, don't think I'll take you back if you're drunk." In fact, Murong Lin just moved his mouth, if Feng Xiaoyue was really drunk, he would be reluctant to leave her here alone.
Seeing that she was still continuing, Murong Lin did not stop it anymore, but called the palace maid to change the liquor to peach blossom brewing, which was a relatively light flower wine.
Once when Murong Lin drank it, he felt that this wine was not strong enough, and now he is very glad that there is not strong wine.
Feng Xiaoyue didn't seem to notice his small movements, poured a glass of wine, and estimated that she noticed that the taste of the wine had changed, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she returned to calm and cold.
Murong Lin saw that she was not angry, and by the way, she used chopsticks to clip her favorite dishes in the past, originally Feng Xiaoyue didn't want to interrupt him, but she saw that her bowl was about to pile up.
She had to put down her chopsticks and glanced at them lightly: "Aren't you hungry?" ”
"I ate some food earlier, but I'm not very hungry now."
After asking a question, Feng Xiaoyue didn't ask any more, and continued to use chopsticks with a cold "um", eating the dishes in the bowl slowly and methodically.
Murong Lin still wanted to pick up some dishes, Feng Xiaoyue frowned, and put the bowl farther away: "Enough." ”
Murong Lin had no choice but to withdraw his chopsticks, and just at this moment, a sharp voice sounded: "The emperor and queen have arrived!" ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Son-in-law, see father."
Murong Yu and Han Yufeng walked up to the high position step by step, and when the two of them sat down, Murong Yu said loudly: "Today is a family banquet, these etiquettes are all waived, get up." ”
Everyone got up in thanksgiving and sat back in their seats.
"I heard that this family banquet was prepared by Yin'er, so the emperor might as well start it earlier."
Han Yufeng is innocent, and he especially likes lively scenes, I heard that Murong Yin held a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet and was curious about what kind of fun show it would be.
It's just that if she is an ordinary concubine, it can be said that she doesn't know the number of etiquette, but now Han Yufeng is the current queen and the harem, how can she take the lead in speaking before the emperor speaks, it is simply rude.
Only Feng Xiaoyue and a few people know that Han Yufeng is true temperament, and she doesn't have any bad intentions, but others don't necessarily think so.
"It's the son's minister, he forgot to tell his mother, and asked his father to punish the son."
Murong Yin secretly scolded Han Yufeng for being too talkative, but he still changed the topic head-on, which can be regarded as giving Han Yufeng a step down, so as not to make too much trouble.
"Yin'er is bothered, it's not early, presumably everyone else is also in a hurry, let's start quickly." Facing the steps given by Murong Yin, Han Yufeng still didn't know why.
Murong Yu quickly agreed, and the other ministers didn't see it, and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet began.
A group of dancers took the lead in dancing the usual dance, which did not attract the attention of others at all, because it was so common that no one would pay attention.
But Feng Xiaoyue obviously noticed that Murong Yin was not flustered throughout the whole process, as if she didn't care about messing up the banquet at all, she guessed that this was just an appetizer, and the more amazing delicacy in the back had not yet appeared.
Sure enough, only to hear a leisurely and moving sound of the zither, the dancers seemed to have made an appointment, and stood in eight positions, revealing the most prominent position in the middle.
A blooming lotus flower appeared in front of me at some point, the lotus flower was big enough to fit a person, and the strange thing was that it could slowly open, catching everyone's attention.
Only Feng Xiaoyue sneered in her heart, seeing through the trick behind this, as for Murong Lin, he naturally kept paying attention to Feng Xiaoyue, and as for the dance on stage, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Wow! What a rare graceful beauty! ”
"Yes! I don't know where the second prince found such a beauty! ”
“…………”
The surrounding ministers sighed, and their naked eyes almost took off the clothes of the dancing dancer in front of them.
Most of the people, except for Feng Xiaoyue and Murong Lin, were enjoying the girl's dancing with relish.
No, in addition to himself and Murong Lin, there is another person who has not been immersed in that wonderful dance so far, and that person is Murong Yin.
Feng Xiaoyue was suspicious in her heart, but out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Murong Yu and Han Yufeng, who were looking freely, and pressed the doubts in her heart, and looked firmly at Murong Yin, wanting to notice something.
Murong Lin noticed that she had been staring at Murong Yin for a long time, and her heart was a little sour, and she couldn't tell what it was like.
And at this moment, the dancer danced and slowly moved to the stage, Feng Xiaoyue noticed that when the dancer jumped off the stage, Murong Yin's eyes burst into an excited smile.
Her heart suddenly burst and she saw the dancer raise her long sleeves as if to throw it out, but Feng Xiaoyue found a dazzling light flashing in front of her eyes.
It's just that the light is too fast, and she is not sure, Feng Xiaoyue is secretly anxious, she doesn't know what is going on with this dancer, but she doesn't want to gamble with the lives of anyone present.
Unconsciously glancing at the pearl bracelet in her hand, Feng Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, although she still didn't move, she looked at the dancer, waiting for her next move.
Finally, when the dancer was about to approach Murong Lin with a spin, Feng Xiaoyue quietly pulled off the pearl chain in her hand, and no one heard the sound of "bang-la-la" except Murong Lin and herself.
As the pearl fell to the ground, the dancer's body became unstable, and a long, sharp knife fell to the ground.
"Come on, protect the crown prince!"
Feng Xiaoyue immediately spoke up, and at this time, Murong Lin reacted, and subdued the dancer with his backhand, and by the way, he removed her chin to prevent her from biting the poison and committing suicide.
And as her voice fell, the ladies at the family banquet screamed.
"Take down the assassins now!"
Murong Yu immediately gave an order, and the Imperial Forest Army took down the assassin and took him down.
This time, the so-called Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet came to an end because of the assassin, but Murong Yu didn't plan to let go of the mastermind behind it, thinking that he must find out, otherwise who knows if such a thing will happen in the palace in the future.
"Father, this banquet is held by Erchen, and Erchen is willing to go to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes and arrest him!"
Murong Yu sighed, looked at Murong Yin and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to you to investigate." ”
"Son, thank you for your father's grace."
Murong Yin hurriedly took over this matter, in the eyes of outsiders, it was to show off in front of the emperor, but Feng Xiaoyue didn't think so.
Murong Yin is a very deep person, how could he take the blame so easily, Feng Xiaoyue thought like this, and remembered his abnormal behavior before.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Feng Xiaoyue still felt that something was wrong: "Murong Lin, don't you think this matter is too strange?" It just so happened that someone came to kill you, and Murong Yin hurriedly took the blame for this crime, isn't he worried that you will find out something unfavorable to him? ”
"Murong Yin's mind is not so simple, if it is really as you think, it is very likely that he did it, then it is very likely that he wants to erase all traces."
Murong Lin's statement was also what Feng Xiaoyue was worried about, thinking of the dancer who was arrested, the two glanced at each other and had the same idea.
"Go to Dali Temple."
Dali Temple has always served the royal family, if someone does something unfavorable to the royal family, they will be imprisoned in Dali Temple, and people who enter Dali Temple will not be released on bail if they do not take off their skin.
"The crown prince and princess, this is it."
It was the jailer who brought the two over, Murong Lin originally wanted to go in together, Feng Xiaoyue shook his head invisibly, he took a deep breath, and was about to object.
But Feng Xiaoyue had already pushed open the cell and entered inside, probably worried that this person still had the strength to fight back, so the person who captured her tied her to a stake.
Because she hadn't had time to be tortured and interrogated, she didn't have half a wound on her body.
"You don't have to work in vain, I'm not going to say anything." The dancer seemed to have seen through life and death, and only said such a sentence and kept silent.
It's just that Feng Xiaoyue is not an unprepared battle, she has simply investigated her identity before coming, just a poor orphan girl.
Except for one younger brother, there were no other relatives, and what was even more strange to her was that except for this obvious point, the others could not be found at all.
"Miao Miao, both parents died, and there is a younger brother at home, who depends on him for his life."
Miao Miao is the dancer in front of her, she was indifferent when she heard the previous sentence, but her eyebrows trembled slightly when she heard the latter sentence.
Feng Xiaoyue noticed this and made persistent efforts: "If you have any troubles, I can help you as appropriate." ”
"Can you really help me? Then I'll ......" Miao Miao originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Murong Yin behind Feng Xiaoyue, her face turned pale, and she looked away.
"The imperial sister-in-law is really very interested, she didn't go back to rest in the middle of the night, and she was very diligent in coming to Dali Temple to try the case."
Feng Xiaoyue looked at Murong Yin, and then at Miao Miao, who was tightly closed, and understood in her heart that this matter was fundamentally Murong Yin's doing, but she had no evidence now.
"The person this assassin wants to assassinate is my husband, and I am here to find an answer to who is so ruthless and wants to disadvantage my husband."
