He didn't even have time to say a few words in the morning, and Xie Ning only had time to ask her now, "What's your name?" ”

The palace maid had a melon seed face, and she was not tall, half a head shorter than Xie Ning. Bayi Middle School? Wenwang ???.? ８?１?ｚ??．? ｃ?ｏ?ｍ?

She first looked Xie Ning up and down to make sure that she was not injured, and then she breathed a sigh of relief: "The slave's name is Xia Yue." ”

"What's the other one with you called? Where is she now? ”

"Her name is Xia Hong, and we were scattered when the chaos just now. However, Xia Hong has always been clever, so she should be fine, don't worry, master. ”

The sound of shouting and killing downstairs gradually weakened, and the front and back were just a cup of tea, and the sound of chopping and shouting became sporadic and sparse, and gradually all subsided. But the people in the peony garden, who had been frightened, still cowered and did not dare to move, for fear that the slightest change would lead to the bad luck of the knife and axe.

There was a strange pungent smell in the air, and Princess Mingwei sniffed: "What kind of smell is this?" ”

Shainin also smelled it.

"Like tung oil, but tung oil doesn't stink so much."

"It should be fire oil." Shainin was shocked. Where does the oil come from? Once you see Mars, the whole peony garden must not be turned into a sea of fire? If the oil is not extinguished when it encounters water, it is difficult to save the fire. This thing Xie Ning still saw this thing when he and his little uncle went to Xiaxia Pass, and he was particularly impressed by this.

Xia Yue whispered in Xie Ning's ear: "Master, don't worry, when the slave went upstairs, she did see a few overturned canisters of fire oil, which turned out to be hidden under those satin flowers in the garden. Just now, a father-in-law asked him to get some soil to cover the oil, and it couldn't be burned. ”

Princess Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed again: "Ming Shou's heart is too poisonous, and it is just a matter of ambushing the elite soldiers and axes in advance, and there is actually such a thing as fire oil, this is planning to set fire to burn us alive if it doesn't go well!" ”

Princess Mingshou is a woman, if she is a prince and inherits the throne, she must be a mediocre emperor who is even more ruthless than the first emperor. Just this temper of those who obey me and those who disobey me die, they are even more vicious than the first emperor.

"I don't know if she's dead or alive now." Princess Mingwei was pondering. Princess Mingshou committed the crime of rebellion, and in the future, the situation in the palace and the court is only afraid of another big change.

If Princess Mingshou was not killed on the spot in the chaos just now but was captured alive, how would the emperor deal with her? Death? Abolished for a lifetime?

From the time Princess Mingwei remembered, Princess Mingshou was a mountain pressing on her head, so heavy that she couldn't breathe. When she was still young, she used to pray in the dark that Princess Mingshou would completely disappear from her life, and she was willing to pay any price to get rid of her.

Princess Mingshou seems to have been born without sympathy, she takes pleasure in the pain of others, treats human life as a mustard, and has an insatiable thirst for power and money.

She would do something like today, Princess Mingwei was shocked, but not too surprised. Princess Mingshou has extraordinary courage and ambition is not inferior to a man, to be fair, she is completely a vivid portrayal of the four words bold.

Whether she died in the chaos below, or was given death, or was imprisoned for life, Princess Mingwei did not sympathize with Mingshou at all, she completely deserved it. Even Mingwei felt that these disposals were cheap for her, she didn't know how many lives she had in her hands, even if she killed her, her life was far from enough to compensate for her sins.

It was quiet for a while before someone dared to look around, and someone lifted a corner of the tablecloth and crawled out from under the table in embarrassment, looking embarrassed, but who could take care of these at this time.

The garden is no longer what it used to be. Before and after is most of the hour's effort, the peony garden is full of wolves, and the stumps and leaves in one place are rotten. A young soldier with a childish face fell to the peony garden, his pink petals crumpled and fell to the ground, and the blood flowing from his body was dyed a large patch of crimson. The soldiers with black cloth belts on their arms checked them one by one, and if there were any who were not dead, they simply made up for them. It's not that they are so ruthless that they have to put these former comrades who are no longer able to resist to death, but that these people are guilty of the great crime of rebellion, and now they can suffer less when they die. If the emperor is gracious, then their family may be able to escape the fate of being questioned by Zhu Lian.

The soldier who was lying in the peony garden was turned over, his eyes still open, but he had already lost his breath.

The man with the black cloth closed his eyes, and then the two of them quickly dragged the body away.

The emperor stepped out of the open hall, Bai Hongqi followed the report and walked over quickly, leaning down to the emperor's ear and whispering a word.

Those who were far away could only see the emperor's soft jaw, Bai Hongqi passed the word downward, and after a while, two guards dragged a sturdy man who was tied up. She wore a green dress that didn't fit very well, barefoot, and her hair was scattered.

Princess Mingshou's body shape is so different that people who are familiar with her and those who are not familiar with her can recognize her at a glance, even if she changes into the clothes of a palace maid, it is useless.

Princess Mingwei stretched her neck, she really wanted to get closer and see more clearly. Before, she was a little strange why Mingshou was so quiet, and when she was grabbed by the head and forced to raise her head, Princess Mingwei saw that her mouth was also tied with a hemp rope, as if she had chewed on an animal.

Ming Shou, who is so high and invincible, probably never thought that one day he would be so dignified and at the mercy of others.

If it's tied up or not, maybe she will bite her tongue and kill herself. Besides, if Shou's mouth is not tied, I don't know what lawless words will be said.

Xia Yue was very capable, took out a small cloth bag from her arms, and had all kinds of combs and ropes in it, knelt there to comb Xie Ning's scattered hair, and pulled a Yao flower bun with extremely dexterous and skillful gestures. and bundled her clothes again, and in a blink of an eye, Shainin changed from being embarrassed to a very neat appearance. Although the skirt is a little shorter, fortunately the skirt is already long, and it is not too bad to have a shorter back.

Another palace maid, Xia Hong, walked over quickly, saluted and said: "The emperor ordered, please Xie Jieyu go downstairs, the emperor is ready to move." ”

Xie Ning glanced at Princess Mingwei, and Princess Mingwei hurriedly said, "I'll go back with Princess Yunjun later, Sister Xie doesn't have to worry about me if she leaves first." ”

Xie Ning nodded: "Then I'll take the first step." ”

When she went downstairs, Xie Ning felt a little soft, she walked very carefully step by step, until her feet stepped on the ground, and her heart was still unsteady.

Xia Yue stepped forward and gently supported her, Xie Ning calmed down, and walked to the emperor's side step by step along the road paved with white marble bricks.

Xie Ning bowed, the emperor nodded and didn't say anything, and Xie Ning honestly stood behind the emperor.

In the short moment of saluting just now, Xie Ning could feel that the emperor had looked at her from head to toe, including her combed head and torn skirt, and nothing was missing.

She herself felt strange, obviously she didn't look up, why did the emperor stare at her?

This makes no sense, maybe the emperor's gaze is too oppressive, or maybe she is too familiar with the emperor, and sometimes she can guess a little bit of the emperor's reaction.

Just as the emperor was so worried about her, Xie Ning was also glad that the emperor was safe and sound.

The emperor stood on the steps in front of the open hall, in the hall, on the platform, and the people in the peony garden hula knelt on the ground, and Xie Ning also knelt down with the people beside him.

The emperor stood there with his hands in his hands, his eyes swept over everyone one by one like lightning. The power of raising his hand to quell the rebellion made everyone even more in awe of this skillful emperor. Xie Ning raised his head and looked at the emperor's figure, feeling that he looked so tall and heroic, as calm and reliable as a mountain.

The emperor did not stay in Changchun Garden for long, and immediately ordered to start. Xie Ningshi's face did not change in the face of the long knife that was cut over, but now when she relaxed, she felt that she had no strength in her whole body, and she was so sore that even when she got on the sedan chair, it was almost Xia Yue and Xia Hong who put her up. As soon as he sat down, Xie Ning was almost paralyzed, today's experience is really thrilling, and the fright he has suffered in the past ten years does not seem to be as much as it is today.

The way back to the palace is not the same as when I came, when I came to celebrate my birthday, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the guards were not strict. But now there are soldiers standing on both sides of the street, almost every three paces, and the guards are extremely tight.

Princess Mingshou has been captured alive, but her comrades are not only those who appeared in the peony garden today, and now I am afraid that there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, and the guards are not too tight.

Xu didn't sleep well because it was too hot the night before and he didn't have a good heart, although Xie Ning was in good spirits, he fell asleep in the sedan chair at some point. When the sedan chair stopped, Xia Yue came over and wanted to invite her to the ground, only to see that she was sleeping soundly.

Bai Hongqi was coming over to deliver a message on the order of the emperor, and he was also stunned when he saw this situation, so he quickly turned his head and asked the emperor to show him again.

The emperor's order was: "Let her rest for a while, the rest of the things are also complicated, and it will be difficult for her to have a chance to rest so quietly and peacefully." ”

Since the emperor said it, Bai Hongqi ordered someone to send Xie Jieyu back to Qingbi Hall directly. And don't be in a hurry to wake up, let Xie Jieyu sleep a little longer. The sedan chair was carried directly into the gate of Qingbi Hall and stopped under the eaves of the hall.

Fang Shanggong walked quickly, lifted the curtain and took a look, and asked in surprise: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Yue hurriedly explained: "Xie Jieyu is asleep, please don't be anxious, Xie Jieyu is safe and unharmed." ”

Fang Shanggong took a closer look, Xie Ning was breathing steadily, his expression was peaceful, and he did look like he was asleep.
