Chapter Twenty-Six: I Didn't Say No Save
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, the Crown Princess has arrived ......"
In the end, it was Xiang Linyuan and Li Yunxiang who were late, both of them looked a little weird, although they walked side by side, they didn't look like they were husband and wife in harmony throughout the whole process.
The two of them saluted the emperor and queen and sat down.
When the emperor saw that everyone had arrived, he gave a look to Gonggong Wu, who was waiting behind him, and Gonggong Wu understood it, and his shrill voice sounded:
"Pass the meal!"
A series of exquisite dishes are served on the table, and every quarter of an hour the dishes are rotated anew, without duplication, until the three hundred and forty-nine dishes are served.
"I have a special feast for today. First, it was to celebrate King Chen's upcoming wedding to Princess Lang; second, it is to bless my beloved concubine to successfully give birth to a dragon son; Thirdly, it is to reward the loyalty of the family who work for the country day and night. ”
The emperor raised the white jade wine glass in his hand and said to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone immediately congratulated the emperor and expressed their patriotic loyalty.
At this time, a palace maid was giving the tablecloth dish to Praruolang, I don't know if she was intentional or not, she accidentally knocked over the wine glass on the table, and the wine was all spilled on Pranyalang's body.
"Princess Atonement...... Princess Atonement! Slave, wipe your body clean......"
Seeing that this palace maid was mediocre, and her face seemed to be really flustered, she didn't intend to embarrass her, and said lightly:
"Stand down, I'll do it myself."
The palace maid didn't seem to hear what she said, she still continued to wipe Pan Ruolang's skirt, intentionally or unintentionally touched Pan Ruolang's hand, and quickly stuffed something in.
Praruolang's body stiffened, his eyes showed a hint of strangeness, watching the movements of this panicked palace maid, and clenched the note in his hand.
"Bold palace maid! actually acted so recklessly and rushed into Princess Lang, come on! Drag her out and blame the sixty boards! ”
The emperor looked at the scene that happened next and said angrily.
The palace maid immediately knelt in the center of the hall in a panic and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and said again and again: "The emperor forgives the sins...... The emperor forgives the sin, and the slave knows the wrong......"
"The emperor is angry, today's banquet should not see blood, this palace maid has never seen a big scene, so she will lose her sense of proportion for a while, this board will be exempted, punish her to kneel outside the palace......"
Concubine Yu's soft voice suddenly sounded, and she pleaded for the palace maid with a look of pity.
"Anyway, Concubine Ai has said so, the bold palace maid is not going to get out quickly!"
"Yes, yes......" The palace maid stood up as if she had forgiven her great grace and ran out of the hall in a panic.
The emperor looked at Praruo Lang again: "Princess Lang, you were frightened, you weren't frightened by the palace maid, right?" ”
Pranya Lang had just read what the palace maid handed her, it was a note, and when she opened it, she saw that the word "Xiao Zhao" was written on it.
The eyes of Praruo Lang are obscure, it seems that this night banquet is really not simple, could it be that Xiao Zhao's disappearance is related to the people in this palace?
Hearing the emperor's question, Praruo Lang hurriedly raised his head and said, "Ruolang is fine, but her skirt is wet with wine, and please ask the emperor to ask Enzhuo Lang to go out and deal with the filth on her skirt......"
The emperor nodded, which was considered a favor.
Pranya Lang stood up and bowed and walked out of the hall, holding the note tightly in his hand, not knowing what purpose the other party wanted to design himself like this, and for what reason.
Xiang Shaoqing was a little uneasy in her heart, she always felt that Pan Ruolang was a little weird today, just now she suddenly looked nervous again, but now she was a little flustered when she left, thinking about what happened to her?
After Pranya Lang came out, she had been looking for the palace maid just now, presumably she should have expected that she would come out.
"Princess." A female voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Pranya Lang turned around, and sure enough, she was the palace maid who had just handed her the note, but now her face was indifferent, which was diametrically opposed to the panicked appearance in the main hall.
"Where is Xiao Zhao?" Pranya Lang didn't intend to talk nonsense with her, and asked directly.
"Princess, please come with me first, it's not convenient to talk here." The palace maid still said in a flat tone.
Pra Ruolang suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and hurriedly followed, now she has no way out, Xiao Zhao's life is still waiting for her to save.
Walking to the water pavilion in the palace, the palace maid stopped and slowly turned around.
"Now you can say it, where is Xiao Zhao?" Pranya said coldly.
The corners of the palace maid's mouth hooked up a strange smile, and she said faintly: "You go to the underworld and ask Lord Yama." ”
After that, he stretched out his hand and pushed to Praruolang, Praruolang didn't expect that she was not an ordinary palace maid, she instinctively wanted to dodge, but she was caught by the palace maid arrogantly, and her strength was surprising, obviously this palace maid is good at martial arts.
At the last moment when she fell into the pool, the person who Pan Ruolang thought of turned out to be Xiang Shaoqing, she seemed to see that his face was full of anxiety, and he was running towards her, and his mouth seemed to be calling her name - Ruolang.
Maybe it's just a hallucination before she dies, doesn't it all say that the dying person can see the person she cares about the most in her life before she dies, is it that the person she cares about the most in her life is him?
As if she had been asleep for a century, her chest was squeezed hard, and she slowly opened her eyes, and the scene in front of her made her feel a little unrelieved.
Xiang Shaoqing saw that Pan Ruolang finally woke up, and grabbed her soaked body in his arms, his eyes seemed to be foggy, and he said reproachfully: "Why are you always so unreassuring, thinking that your life is not worth anything?!" ”
Praruolang came to his senses, and saw that he was in the Water Pavilion at this time, thinking that he should have been fished out of the water by Xiang Shaoqing, it turned out that he did not hallucinate just now, but really saw Xiang Shaoqing.
In this way, she should not have been in a coma for long.
"Liufeng, smuggle her back to the palace and press her into the secret room, send someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her die, and wait for me to go back to the palace for interrogation." Xiang Shaoqing looked at the palace maid who was in a coma and said coldly.
Liufeng didn't know when he had already walked over, replied respectfully with the word "yes", picked up the unconscious palace maid on the ground, and turned to leave.
Pra Ruolang was a little anxious, so that this palace maid was not dead, and Xiao Zhao's matter had not yet been asked, so he hurriedly raised his head and hurriedly said: "Don't kill her, I want to ask her something." ”
Xiang Shaoqing frowned Yingting's brows: "About your servant girl?" ”
"How do you know?" Pra Ruolang was stunned and asked puzzled.
"Seeing that you have been in a state of mind all day today, and I heard that the royal family said that you went out in the morning, and when you came back, I asked everywhere if anyone had seen your servant girl return to the house yesterday, thinking that your aberration today should be about her, I really can't think of anything else that can make you come here so recklessly."
Xiang Shaoqing said unhurriedly, and a pair of eyes gradually became clearer.
After hearing this, Pranya Lang was silent for a moment and said, "Then you should know, Xiao Zhao, I must save ......"
The corners of Xiang Shaoqing's mouth hooked up with a chuckle, and he picked up Pan Ruolang horizontally, and said as he walked: "I didn't say I wouldn't save it." ”
The wet brocade skirt in the moonlight outlines her figure, and the girlish figure adds a bit of beauty to her.
Xiang Shaoqing didn't pay attention to it just now, but now when he saw the wonderful person in his arms, he suddenly had a dry mouth, and secretly scolded himself for being a bastard in his heart.
Pra Ruolang was undoubtedly moved in her heart, since Xiang Shaoqing promised that she would save Xiao Zhao, then she should believe him, but how should he save it? If the person behind it knows, will it be bad for Xiao Zhao?
"The mastermind behind this matter knows that you arrested the palace maid, what if you are angry and attack Xiao Zhao?" Pranya Lang couldn't help but express the worry in his heart.
"You just act as if nothing happened."
After hearing this, Pranya nodded her head, she should have believed him, shouldn't she?
Xiang Shaoqing took Praruolang to the post house to change her clothes, and dried her hair with internal force, and the two returned to Taichen Palace.
At this time, everyone was already drunk, and the emperor and the jade concubine had left at some point, leaving the queen and the prince alone to preside over the banquet.
Since he came in, Pranyo Lang has carefully observed the expressions on the faces of everyone present, if the mastermind behind Xiao Zhao's affection is in this hall, that person will be surprised to see that he is safe and sound at this time.
After looking around, she didn't find anything unusual, except for the princess's resentful gaze that fell on Xiang Shaoqing from time to time, but it was unlikely that this matter would be her, because she hadn't paid attention to herself from beginning to end.
"His Royal Highness King Chen."
An ethereal bird's voice sounded, and Yazhulian walked in, "tinkling" with the jade bell on her ankle.
Xiang Shaoqing frowned and looked at the woman holding the wine glass in front of him, he didn't like others to approach him with a purpose, Yazhu's eyes were obviously full of weakness and desire, a person's eyes can't deceive people, especially him who has read countless people.
Seeing that Xiang Shaoqing didn't answer, Yazhu was even more apprehensive in her heart, but she strengthened her belief in her heart, so she raised the wine glass with a pair of Qianqianyu hands.
"Yazhu has offended His Royal Highness King Chen a lot before, I hope to use this wine to take care of it, and I hope His Royal Highness will not refuse."
Xiang Shaoqing looked at her raised wine glass, and suddenly the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning: "I don't drink the wine handed by others." ”
"This cup of wine is not for King Chen, but for Yazhu to honor King Chen."
After that, he said to the palace maid who was waiting on the side: "Don't bring a cup of wine to His Royal Highness King Chen." ”
The palace maid reluctantly took a brand-new jade cup, handed the empty wine cup to King Chen, and filled the wine glass for him.
Xiang Shaoqing playfully held the filled wine glass with one hand, sniffed it close to his nose, raised his head and said, "Good wine." ”
Yazhu covered the weakness of her eyes and pulled out a bright smile: "This Lanling wine was brought by Yazhu from the north of the country, and only brought ten catties in total, except for this pot, the rest were all filial piety to the Emperor Dali, and please don't ......dislike His Royal Highness King Chen."
Xiang Shaoqing sneered in his heart, his face was still silent, and said: "In this way, this king has thanked the princess for her kindness." ”
With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.
Although Praruolang didn't understand why Xiang Shaoqing wanted to drink this wine, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, feeling that this Princess Yazhu was not as simple as offering wine.
