Chapter 35: The Assassins
The princess of the Western Regions disrespected Nangong Yuehan several times, which made the empress dowager's face ugly.
Originally, she liked Nan Lingyu a lot, and thought about leaving her in Nangong Mingyan's harem to help Nangong Mingyan build momentum.
Now it seems that Nan Lingyu, like Shen Lai Meng, is a little annoying.
Xiao Yuqi saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he stood up and spoke out in a timely manner, he was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, like a gentleman's orchid, elegant and difficult to ignore.
His handsome appearance naturally attracted the attention of a large number of women, including Shen Laimeng's cousin Shen Laiya and the fifth princess Nangong Yueji.
It's just that as a woman's reserve, the two just glanced at it secretly.
"This time, I Nanyue came to Dahe, and I specially brought a piece of natural longevity stone as a birthday gift for the birthday of the Empress Dowager in January."
The yellow cloth is lifted and the shape of the longevity stone immediately leaks out. It's red all over and it's very noticeable.
"It's bloodstone!"
At this time, someone in the crowd exclaimed, and the others couldn't help but be surprised.
Even the Empress Dowager couldn't close her mouth with joy after seeing the shape of the longevity stone.
"Good! Good! ”
At this time, Shin Raemeng's father stood up and knelt down in the center of the main hall.
This is a good omen from heaven! It means that the Empress Dowager will be blessed with great fortune and longevity than Nanshan! ”
Shen Shi can't do anything else, and he is really slippery about the kung fu of patting the sycophants!
No, as soon as he finished speaking, the queen and queen showed a red light, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down one after another, repeating "Hongfu Qi Tianshou is better than Nanshan".
Gu Chenxi looked at all this coldly, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart.
After all, this banquet has been going on so far, and it is a little too quiet!
Almost as soon as this thought was formed, one of the guards shouted:
"There's an Assassin—"
As soon as Gu Chenxi raised his head, he saw a black-clothed man in the sky, holding a long sword in his hand, flying towards Nan Lingyu.
"Be careful—"
When Nan Lingyu heard that there were assassins, she hid the whip in her hand and prepared to fight the assassins.
But after hearing Gu Chenxi's voice, she suddenly changed her mind.
So, she stood motionless and pretending to be frightened......
"Porphyry......
The sound of a sword scratching a person......
Gu Chenxi gritted his teeth, while protecting Nan Lingyu, he fought with the assassin, and within three moves, the assassin was injured.
Gu Chenxi was about to interrogate the assassin, but saw that the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide!
The whole banquet was in chaos, and many nobles were panicked and didn't know what to do.
Nangong Yueji was alone, and she saw that an assassin would bayonet her with a sword, but in the next moment, the person fell into a warm and generous chest.
She looked up cautiously and saw Xiao Yuqi's handsome face......
The heart, at that moment, blooms like a flower in an instant......
"Protect the Emperor!"
As the Guards grew, the Assassins felt outnumbered and immediately issued orders.
"Withdraw!"
When the banquet returned to calm, it was only a mess.
"General Gu."
Nangong Mingyan's face darkened, "I gave you the task of protecting the envoys, is this how you completed the task?" I hope you can give a reasonable explanation? ”
"Minister...... Admit the emperor's punishment. ”
Everything was planned by Nangong Mingyan, Gu Chenxi naturally knew it in his heart, but he was not ready to defend anything.
Nangong Mingyan designed all this, cutting his power is small, the biggest purpose is to show his imperial prestige in front of a group of envoys, he, with Nangong Mingyan is.
Nangong Mingyan was different from Gu Chenxi's calmness, but he still said angrily.
"Remove your first-class military industry first, and find the murderer within three days, otherwise you will be demoted to a second-class general."
"Yes."
What happened in the palace was soon passed on to the General's Mansion.
After learning about this, Nangong Yuehan thought seriously for a moment. Knowing that Nangong Mingyan wanted to show the emperor's prestige in front of the envoys, she sneered.
What Nangong Mingyan wanted to do, she just let his plan fall through again and again!
She called June and asked June to inform them to speed up the process......
On the second day, when everyone was still shocked that Gu Chenxi was removed from the military industry, a major incident suddenly broke out in the capital!
