Three lives are fortunate to be beautiful (4)
The wind soon stopped, and the oil lamps on the wall were devoid of the pressure of the wind, making a "zig" sound, and tiny sparks flashed, and one after another the oil lamps burned again, illuminating the whole hall.
It was only at this time that everyone finally saw that in a short period of time, the musician had already swallowed his breath, his eyes widened, and his face was fixed with a frightened expression. The frightened palace maid sat on the ground, trembling all over, and tears could not stop flowing.
The smell of blood soon spread in the air, and several ministers who were closer looked at the musician who had died tragically in the banquet hall, and suddenly felt a churning in their stomachs, and they all turned their backs to hold on to the pillar and began to retch.
"This ...... On the day of great joy, there was blood. ”
"Unlucky, unlucky."
"Bad omen, bad omen."
The two little eunuchs quietly hid behind the screen, covered their faces with their wide sleeves, leaned together and whispered.
Xia Huai slapped the table with both hands, forcibly quieting down the ministers who had already begun to talk, he stood up with the table, pretended to be calm, and said, "Who did this?" ”
No one dared to speak, and no one knew what was going on.
"You didn't see it?" Xia Huai has been on the throne for many years, what kind of dead people have not seen, but it is the first time to see such a picture at the birthday banquet, it is false to say that he is not panicked, but when facing these people alone, he must hide his emotions, if the emperor is panicked, then what should these courtiers think.
"This ......" Lord Shangshu glanced away, not daring to look at the emperor's face.
"In the blink of an eye, this man fell." The soldier looked at the musician on the ground, his brows furrowed.
"Father, you said that this palace maid is the closest to the musician, could she just see the appearance of the assassin?" Xia Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Xiao Cui, come and tell me." Xia Huai cast an approving glance at Xia Yuan, and then looked at the palace maid who had been sobbing.
"Back to the emperor, Xiao Cui didn't see anything, it was very windy at that time, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and before the slave could react, the musician in front of him had already fallen." The palace maid finally stopped the tears that had been flowing, knelt on the ground and moved a few steps in the direction of Xia Huai, both eyes were red and swollen from crying, obviously frightened.
"How could it be ......" that you didn't see it so closely? Xia Yuan stared at the door that was still shaking, and when he was thinking about it, Xia Chi, who was originally sitting quietly next to him, suddenly hugged him from behind.
"Ah Chi?" Xia Yuan was frightened by Xia Chi's sudden movements, "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Chi didn't speak, but hugged Xia Yuan tighter, he moved, Xia Chi, who usually looked extremely thin, was surprisingly strong at the moment, and he couldn't break free.
Suddenly, Xia Yuan felt a warmth in his neck, his heart chuckled, and a bad thought flashed through his mind in an instant, Ah Chi, but don't be what I thought!
"Ah Chi ......" Xia Yuan's hand trembled and stretched out to Xia Chi, just touching his waist, Xia Yuan had already felt the wetness spreading from his waist, he looked at the bright red piece on his hand, and his pupils shrank, "Ah Chi!" ”
"Brother Prince, thank you." Xia Chi's head drooped on Xia Yuan's shoulder, a faint voice came into Xia Yuan's ears, and the strength in his hand gradually decreased, Xia Yuan quickly grabbed Xia Chi's hand, turned around, and let him fall into his arms.
"Ah Chi, don't talk yet." Xia Yuan just looked at the blood hole on Xia Chi's back that kept bleeding out, he quickly stretched out his hand to plug it, but the blood still kept flowing out of Xia Yuan's fingers, he panicked, this was not in his plan at all!
Before coming to this world, Xia Yuan was still a young man living in the peaceful era of the 21st century, where had he ever experienced such a scene, "Imperial Doctor, call Imperial Doctor!" ”
"Ahem." Xia Chi just wanted to speak, but coughed up a mouthful of blood, all of which was stained on Xia Yuan's clothes.
"Ah Chi, hold on a little longer, hold on, the Imperial Doctor will be here soon, and it will be fine soon."
"Brother...... Something to say...... Appear...... If you don't talk about it now, you will ...... it later. Probably...... There is no chance...... Speak. Xia Chi's voice was very soft, his mouth was wide open, panting desperately, the corners of his mouth were constantly oozing blood, his chest kept rising and falling, and the blood kept flowing out.
"Ah Chi, don't talk nonsense, if there is a chance, there must be a chance." The blood behind Xia Chi was still pouring out, he tore off the fabric on his sleeve with all his might, tore it into a long strip, and tied it around Xia Chi's wound, and the cyan color was quickly dyed red.
"What's wrong, Obuchi?" Xia Huai was attracted by Xia Yuan's voice, but turned his head and saw Xia Chi in Xia Yuan's arms very unnaturally, Xia Chi himself was wearing a black brocade suit, plus Xia Yuan somewhat covered his body, Xia Huai didn't notice that Xia Chi's clothes had been soaked with blood.
"Father!" Xia Yuan, who heard Xia Huai's voice, seemed to see the drowning man grasping the life-saving straw, he turned his head and turned his gaze to Xia Huai for help, if it was his father, there would definitely be a way, "What should I do, what should my father do?" ”
Xia Huai only saw the blood on Xia Yuan's face and chest at this time, and Xia Chi in his arms had become a bloody man at this moment.
"This ...... What the hell is going on! "It's not enough to kill one, but also to attack your own flesh and blood, what does this assassin want.
"Father! Ah Chi, he is to protect me, so he ...... ......"
The queen mother behind Xia Huai covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down: "Ah Chi...... Ah Chi ......"
The queen mother suddenly felt dizzy, her legs were weak, and she fainted.
"!" The two little eunuchs hurriedly walked out from behind the screen and caught the body of the queen mother who fell to the ground.
Xia Yuan felt Xia Chi gently tugging at his clothes, he put his gaze back on Xia Chi's slightly trembling lips, and said clearly, "Brother." ”
Xia Yuan put his face close to Xia Chi, and in a faint voice, he was clearly saying, "Brother...... Brother, from ...... Childhood...... You will be gentle with me, and you will ...... Even if it's ...... Now, too...... Also gentle, I ...... I don't have anything...... OK...... Repay, I'...... Hearing...... Your side...... Yes...... Dangerous sounds...... I...... I'm afraid...... He's going to hurt his brother, but it's okay...... Fortunately, my brother is fine, anyway...... I've also ...... Unseen...... My brother still has ......."
Xia Chi didn't finish his words, and his hand pulling Xia Yuan's clothes hung weakly to the ground.
"Ah Chi!!"
A man in black was in the shadows behind the pillar not far from Xia Yuan, watching the group of ministers in the hall keep gathering around Xia Yuan, the sound of various emotions reached his ears, he gritted his teeth, and then smashed a mouthful of spit on the ground, the dagger in his hand glowing with cold light was still dripping blood.
"Hey, I didn't do it." He retracted his body that had leaned out a little, "Xia Yuan is really blessed, not only last time, but even this time, that little waste blocked the knife for him." ”
"Next time, it's not so good."
