As in previous years, this year's Xia Yuan Festival is still held in the Vertical Arch Hall. Although it is a small banquet, before the banquet, it is also a lantern and a splendid curtain. The eunuchs and palace maids were there early to prepare snacks and imperial wine, and when all the affairs were ready, the civil and military officials also arrived one after another, sitting on the side halls.

After a while, the nobles in the palace also sat on their seats one by one in the Duo Palace, and when everyone was greeting each other, they heard the eunuch's sharp voice in the passage outside the door of the vertical arch hall: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."

Everyone hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with their heads, and bowed: "Your Majesty Wanfu Jin'an, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an."

With Emperor Renzong's sentence of "flat", everyone got up from the cold ground.

The banquet began, the maids in the palace stepped forward to pour wine for the ministers, and the hall also began to entertain the program, the first opening of the small song "Flowers Outside the Curtain" by the palace maids of the priest's house.

The harmony between the singing and the accompaniment was very natural, and the fatigue of the day was soothed by the current tune.

Emperor Renzong raised his glass and said with a smile: "Aiqing, feel free, today is a family banquet."

The ministers faced the emperor with a restrained expression and responded, "Yes." Then he drank the wine in his hand.

At this time, in the red sleeve move, Li Tianyou was plotting something with Qiong Shang.

Li Tianyou sat on the top, and Qiong Sheng stood respectfully aside, glancing out from time to time, as if waiting for someone to come over.

"It should be this," she said to Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou unhurriedly picked up a glass of wine and shook it in his hand a few times, "Oh? How sure do you think you are this time?"

"The slave didn't dare to say anything, when the Heavenly Family said that this matter was slowly planned, it must not be rushed." She looked at Li Tianyou's eyes, as if she didn't dare to say any more.

Li Tianyou didn't mean to stop her, "Go on, why don't you say it"? When he spoke, he had a smile on his face, and although he was an ordinary face, his smile was more dazzling than the girls in the red sleeves.

"Childe moved the line in the palace at this time, if the heavenly family traces it......

The person who asked her to continue talking just now didn't give her the right to continue talking. I saw that Li Tianyou's face changed in an instant, pinching Qiongsheng's neck with a gloomy face, and pushing her whole person to the wall with both hands.

Qiong Shang's face was flushed at this time, and her hands were pulling Li Tianyou's hands hard, but where could she compare to the strength of a person who practiced martial arts, she couldn't stop struggling with her hands and feet, but this struggle looked like it was in vain, and she vaguely came out of her throat, "Gong... Sub "... With such words, she was begging him, begging him to spare her pitiful life.

There were tears in her eyes, if it was an ordinary man, she would have been unbearable, but in front of her was Li Tianyou, the fifth brother of the emperor of Western Xia. This person is notoriously cruel and ruthless in the Xia Dynasty, and there is a folk ballad, "When the fifth brother of the Son of Heaven is the fifth brother, whoever looks at it will fall to the ground."

Just when Qiong Sheng was breathing less and exhaling more, and she had already rolled her eyes, Li Tianyou let go of her.

She didn't care about her appearance, and suddenly she slipped down the wall and fell to the ground, clutching her throat and coughing.

"The slave said the wrong thing and should be punished." When she was breathing smoothly, she respectfully bowed her head towards Li Tianyou.

Two years ago, she was still the sister of the Li Mansion, and then her father was killed on trumped-up charges, and the family was also beheaded by the Li family, seeing that she had a little bit of a look, she planted Gu and sent her to the Song Dynasty to be a chess piece, but she didn't expect that a few months ago she received the news that she was asked to go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to laugh, and she wanted to die several times, but every time she thought of her mother's eyes when she was dying, and the words that were attached to her ear, she could only grit her teeth and live.

Li Tianyou sat down in his previous position again, playing with small objects as if nothing had happened before.

"You're a bit stubborn, I like it." He smiled again, and didn't look like a fierce person. "If it weren't for the strength in you that didn't admit defeat, I just pushed a little harder, you would"... He gestured to death.

"Thank you for your grace not to kill."

Li Tianyou was noncommittal, and looked at her unscrupulously. "It's really superior, no wonder that man spared your life." casually put the objects in his hand on the table, and said, "Do you want to kill Li Yuanhao?"

Qiong Sheng hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the moment her knees hit the ground, tears almost flowed out, but she was restrained by life, how could she still shed tears.

"Slaves don't dare".

"What dare you do, he killed your whole family, and you should kill him if you want to, but you are like a weak chicken, so you can only think about it."

"The heavenly family left a slave for his life, and the slave was already very grateful in his heart, and there was no intention of revenge in his heart."

The moon had shifted to the southeast, reflecting on Qiong's attic. The wind blew into the room through the half-hidden window, which should have been quiet and beautiful.

"Let's get stronger slowly," he said, patting Qiong Sheng on the shoulder. "Ming'er will tell me the result again, the smell of this green building is really annoying."

Watching Li Tianyou walk out of the door, Qiongshang called the girl to fetch water and bathe. At the same time, I secretly guessed in my heart the deep meaning of what he said.

The vertical arch hall is already the king's and ministers, and the dance song "Shuangshuangyan" is being performed. The dancers in the center of the hall are flying, and the dance steps are as light as the flying butterflies, all of them are graceful and colorful, and they have unique skills.

Just as everyone was intoxicated by this song and dance, no one noticed that the group of dancers were all taken by the lead dancer not far from the main hall where Song Renzong was.

At this time, Emperor Renzong did not realize the danger coming, and saw him and the empress talking something.

said that it was too late, and the dancing girl in the middle actually jumped over the crowd and flew towards Emperor Renzong! Hidden in the cuff was a small dagger, and she landed in front of Emperor Renzong, and with the dagger, she bullied forward, and shot hard, wanting to kill with one blow.

Where have everyone seen this situation, and the courage of a civil official is almost frightened.

When he saw that the dancing girl was different, Guo Kui, who had just served as the attendant of the Beiban Palace, flew in front of Emperor Renzong.

Because the banquet did not allow him to carry weapons, Guo Kui only went into battle shirtless, and when the woman saw that someone was helping her, she threw a smoke at Guo Kui, jumped lightly and stabbed Emperor Renzong.

His eyes were fogged and he couldn't see anything for a while, so Guo Kui had to rely on his memory of the emperor's position to block his body in front of him, and the dagger held by the female assassin happened to pierce Guo Kui's body in front of Emperor Renzong.

This series of actions only took place in a very short time, and when the military attachés in the palace reflected, the woman saw that the assassination had failed, and turned neatly and flew away towards the original planned route.

The hall was suddenly in chaos, "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor"! Emperor Renzong shouted to the stunned eunuch on the side.

At this time, Wen Yin stood in front of Guo Kui, took out a vial from his sleeve, took out a pill from it and put it in Guo Kui's mouth.

She looked him in the eye and asked, "Can it hold on?"

Guo Kui appeared in front of Wen Yin again, but in such an embarrassed posture, he still felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it many years later. It's just that at this time, he didn't have any waves. "It's okay", he briefly stated his state at this time.

"Then I'll start, you bear with it." As he spoke, he picked up the wine on the side and poured it on his hand, and the little palace maid who had just gone to get the scissors also came back. She didn't have any defense between men and women in her heart, so she picked up the scissors and wanted to cut Guo Kui's clothes. However, Guo Kui blocked her next move.

The blood had already been left all over the ground, but he was pale but still slowly raised his hand, "No, wait for the imperial doctor to come."

She patted Guo Kui's hand gently, "Good." Saying that, he cut the clothes open.,And then took out the dagger inserted in the abdomen with skill.。。

Guo Kui snorted, about to pass out. The corners of his mouth were smiling, "You woman"...
