229: Panic
In the middle of the annual banquet, it was quite quiet, everyone was silent, and they all looked up to enjoy the singing and dancing, as if nothing happened.
But there is a bit of honesty in it, and others can't help but doubt it.
Although Yao Chuxi had no intention of dealing with them, she could clearly feel that many people were staring at her in the dark, and when she raised her head, they all withdrew their gaze in time.
At this time, there was a woman in red in the center of the crowd, and a circle of women in light pink gauze surrounded her, like stars holding the moon.
Yao Chuxi felt that the woman in the center was very beautiful, like the first time I saw He Jieyu and Lin Jieyu, their appearance, with bright teeth and graceful eyes, she felt confident from the bottom of her heart, and she exuded beauty from the inside out.
She tapped a few times with a red vermilion pen on her forehead, and although it was not close, she could vaguely tell that it was a flower.
The lipstick on the mouth is also very thick, and the cheeks are only slightly powdered, but it is not difficult to say how good the foundation is, and everyone can see it.
The light song and dance are swaying, not to mention others, even Yao Chuxi was stunned. And the woman had been watching the center of the main hall, sitting on the emperor's throne.
Every look back, every flick of the sleeves and the closing of the sleeves, are all aimed at the emperor.
Luo Yu suddenly felt a little bored and panicked in his heart. If you want to get ahead in this palace, it is all related to the emperor, especially this dancing girl is beautiful, and her body is good at a glance and a smile is all seductive, if you can attract the emperor by her posture, it is not impossible.
She looked at the emperor sitting quietly, and the panic that rose faintly in her heart was dispelled at that moment.
The emperor was talking to the two princes, and at this moment Pan Zhenan was pouring wine in front of him, and the emperor didn't look at the dancing queen at a glance.
I slowly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
"Falling rain, do you look at the dancing girl in the center, is it beautiful?" Yao Chuxi asked in a low voice.
Luoyu didn't pay attention to her master's words for a while, and she didn't react until Yao Chuxi asked again, and replied, "Beauty, if you can come here to dance, your posture must not be ordinary." ”
Yao Chuxi felt the same way.
She didn't think too much, she didn't think about how much inappropriateness and tension the starry woman in front of her would bring her, she just felt that she was beautiful, and the beauty made her soul tremble.
If you are appreciating the dance, then you can enjoy the dance, and it is useless to pay too much attention to this dance, and you are blind to this dance, and you can't concentrate on watching and appreciating.
Princess Shu Luo also led the lord of Xiuhuan County this year, and was sitting with her, counting Princess Shu Ning and Princess Shu Ying in the future.
Seeing that the princess who was once high above the world had fallen into what she is now, Yao Chuxi couldn't bear to look at it more, and pulled his attention back to the dancing girl.
Meng Xiuhuan is ten years old this year, unlike a princess like Yun Jing Yun, she is no longer small, her hair is thick and black, children often comb two mustaches, one left and one right, and then decorate it with a good-looking head rope, but the county lord Xiuhuan is different, she has passed the age of combing, and she has also carefully combed it when she entered the palace this time.
The long hair on the back of the head is scattered, the top is braided tighter, and the sideburns that do not fall are coiled on the head, only a step is inserted, and two flowers are hairpinned in the right ear, one red and one yellow, which also looks lively.
After the dance, the dancing queen in the center retreated first, and the dancing queen in a circle was posing, and slowly retreated.
When everyone was focused on the next batch of dancing girls who came in, the sound of suddenly breaking cups resounded through the Zhengxuan Palace.
Then came a woman's voice, "Princess! Princess, what's wrong with you? ”
Yao Chuxi hadn't reacted yet, and Luoyu took a step forward to see the situation clearly.
"Falling rain, what's going on?"
"Back to the little master, it's Princess Shuying, she..."
With this kung fu, Yao Chuxi had already noticed that something was wrong with Princess Shuying.
She was nestled in the maid's arms, foaming at the mouth and rolling her eyes, and there was a little filth on the collar in front of her dress.
Fragments of the shattered cup were scattered around her.
The hall was silent for a while, and no one reacted, and when they all knew what was going on, the sound of discussion and talking followed.
The first to rush over was Princess Shu Ning, who was sitting closest to Princess Shu Ying.
Then came Princess Shu Luo and the emperor.
Yao Chuxi also wanted to take a closer look, and Luoyu hurriedly helped her over, and the hall was in chaos for a while.
"Shu Ying!" The emperor's voice was still calm, but it was not difficult to see from his tightly knit brows that he was also panicked and worried.
More and more people poked their heads out to look this way, and Yao Chuxi stopped for a while, because there were too many people, he couldn't go any further.
I only heard Pan Zhenan shouting, "Someone is poisoning!" ”
The hall was even more chaotic, and several groups of soldiers with scabbards pinned to their waists came in, and the frightened people panicked.
"What are you panicking about!" Pan Zhen'an worked hard to maintain "all sit back in position!" ”
Yao Chuxi seemed to have left this scene, everything in front of him slowed down a lot, and the voice in his ears calmed down. She saw that the corners of Concubine De's mouth seemed to be smiling, and the palace maid Shuhuai's expression was a little strange, obviously knowing something and being a little modest, in addition to her, Concubine De also brought a few to serve her, since Princess Shuying fell to the ground, she has been shouting and mixing blindly, shouting for a while that someone is plotting to assassinate, and for a while shouting that there are villains hiding in the palace.
Without them, I'm afraid this Zhengxuan Hall wouldn't be so panicked at this moment.
Jiang Zhaoyi and the others were a lot more panicked than Concubine De, they should not know about it, they were scared and curious, but they didn't shout anything, they just whispered to the palace maid.
Princess Yun Yan cried, her voice was very loud, and the nurse was holding her and coaxing, but she was crying heartbreakingly, and she didn't mean to stop at all.
The second prince didn't seem to understand what was going on, and he was still sitting there watching back and forth.
And Pan Zhen'an is like a joke in this palace, these concubines didn't listen to him, and the whispering sound was like getting into a nest of flies, especially the palace maids around Concubine De, who even cried and shouted to make others even more panicked.
This is probably the source.
"Give me all peace!" The emperor roared, and the hall instantly fell silent.
Several princes also got off their seats. Among them, Prince Heng and Prince Sheng were full of sadness, Prince Qi was a deep heart, and he also calmly watched the actions of the people in the palace like Yao Chuxi, and then focused on Princess Shu Ying.
"Hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor! Doctor Meng, the young doctor, they are all on duty! The emperor hugged Princess Shuying horizontally as he spoke, Pan Zhenan hurriedly lifted the curtain in front, Duan Kui had the intention to put on a cloak for the emperor, but now where does anyone pay attention to him? Only hurriedly took a thin quilt and put it on Princess Shuying's body, so as not to blow the wind.
Yao Chuxi was just about to step forward, but Concubine De spoke up again.
"Wait, sisters! The doctor will make his own decisions about what is going on, and it is not something that we can do by worrying about it here! ”
Listen, isn't this something that only the lord of the first house can say?
I really think of myself as the lord of the East Palace.
Yao Chuxi ignored her, worried that Princess Shu Ying was even more worried about the emperor.
If I'm not mistaken, the princess's symptoms should be poisoned.
Could the emperor have also been poisoned?
Why did the person who poisoned Princess Shu Ying? Does the mixing of Concubine De's palace maids have anything to do with this?
Yao Chuxi knew that she couldn't think about it carefully, and she couldn't figure out the judgment in a hurry.
"This palace looks at Princess Shu Ying not like it is caused by illness, it is more like poisoning, and Fang Cai Pan's father-in-law said the same, so in this case, the villain may still be among us, and the time when this palace takes over the palace affairs is not too short, and it should be shared for the emperor..."
"Princess Shuying's health is not good today, and the sisters also know it, but as far as the palace knows, there is no such symptom of foaming at the mouth, if the imperial doctor really diagnoses the poisoning, then it is always necessary to check, but who has reined in the precipice, and has figured out the first to explain to the palace, and the punishment is lighter!"
Yao Chuxi's body trembled, and he looked at Concubine De with wide eyes.
The same is true of the falling rain, and she feels the anger from her master.
Isn't this a typical thief shouting to catch a thief? Think that you can clear the suspicion on your body by throwing it out first? Luoyu only felt that her head was a mess, and she was afraid that this matter would have something to do with her master, and she was even more afraid of... Concubine De will insist on this charge on the master.
The master of his own family and Princess Shuying are not on good terms with the palace, and they all know that when they were pregnant for the second time, they almost had a miscarriage because Princess Shuying beat someone, this hatred is not a day or two, and it is really impossible to say that the child will rely on his own grace and the princess to poison Princess Shuying's food.
Such vicious conjectures will not be held in their hearts and not spoken, at most tomorrow morning, these words will be spread all over the palace.
It's a poisonous method.
The third prince didn't know if he was hungry or frightened, and suddenly cried loudly, Princess Yunshu, who didn't cry or make trouble all day long, seemed to be infected, and the sound of the two children crying resounded throughout the Zhengxuan Palace.
Yao Chuxi only felt that his mind was even more chaotic.
"Come, let Hongu hug!"
Concubine De's expression was like that of the old goblin in the deep mountains, seeing the boys and girls who came up to pay tribute, her eyes lit up, where did Yao Chuxi dare to let her hold the child?
Perhaps, Princess Shu Ying's poisoning was her handiwork.
"There is Lao Niangniang who cares, the third prince and the princess are just hungry, the concubines can take them back to feed, the children are crying, don't disturb your mood."
When is all this? Yao Chuxi's words are clear, if Concubine De doesn't want to arouse suspicion, she will naturally be honest, where do you dare to take the lead?
Wasn't that meant to make people suspicious of her?
"What's the point of hugging it?" Concubine De's face was a little hideous, others might think that she was no different from usual, but Yao Chuxi felt creepy just by looking at her.
