It was a hot day, and the palace exuded a sultry smell everywhere. Three days before the banquet in Yingtai, Xuan Ye had already led a group of concubines out of the palace to Yingtai.

On the day of the banquet, it was already boiling early in the morning, so it was not lively. The beautiful wonderland of Yingtai has dissipated all the summer heat.

The front hall is Xuan Ye and the civil and military officials, and the back hall is the wife of the queen mother leading the concubines and the hundred officials. The scene is spectacular and lively.

Singing and dancing all day long, listening to music and games, it is very pleasant.

This banquet can be regarded as a banquet for the heroes of the pacification of the three feudatories, and a banquet for receiving the wind. In order to be lively, all the concubines also prepared their own talents to thank the heroes. As Xuanye's favorite concubine, Chunxi is naturally the most eye-catching and expected.

Many people wanted to see the scene where she danced with Sister Han Ji, and some people around them had already started to argue, vying to invite Han Ji and Chunxi first.

Such a day will naturally not save the face of these ladies, and Chunxi accepts it as a matter of course. When she took Han Ji's hand and walked onto the makeshift stage, a familiar figure quickly came out of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Master, be careful." ”

Chunxi turned around, just glanced at Yan Wan who was rushing over, and when she was a little inexplicable, she saw the worry and anxiety in her eyes, and immediately understood.

But her feet had already stepped into the stage, Han Ji walked in front again, and Chunxi reached out to pull her, but the two of them didn't stand up and slipped down the steps.

Everyone exclaimed, and before they could hold up, the makeshift stage was already crumbling and fell towards them.

"Sister." In a hurry, she wanted to pull Han Ji, who seemed to have fallen on the ground and couldn't move, but where could she have time. The fallen wood came like a flood of water, and there was nowhere to escape.

"Niangniang", "Fujin", "Master", "Chun'er", "Beware", "Dodge", "......"

All kinds of voices rushed in, and she felt ringing in her ears, and she couldn't hear their screams. Her outstretched hand was pulled out fiercely, and her eyes never left Han Ji at all, looking at her almost drowning in the pile of wood.

The fear in her heart had never been so deep, and she could barely scream, only opened her mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of her.

A group of people rushed out of the crowd quickly, and at the same time as the wood fell, they pulled Chunxi and Han Ji apart.

The guards carefully guarded the ladies and sisters, and all of them got up and moved far back. The thrilling collapse ended with screams and the sound of firecrackers outside.

The front hall was still bustling, but I didn't know that there was already chaos inside.

Chunxi was paralyzed in the arms of Mu Hui and Cao Ziqing, and beside her was Han Ji, who was tightly protected by Nalan Rongruo, and Yanan was seriously injured and fell aside. Thankfully, no one was injured except for them, but unfortunately Yanan was unconscious.

This great fright left everyone speechless.

"Imperial Doctor, Quickly Xuan Imperial Doctor." Rao is Xiaozhuang was the first to react and commanded loudly.

"Today, the big guys are all frightened, and the hour is not early, so let's disperse." Xiaozhuang watched the crowd disappear little by little, and watched the imperial doctors diagnose and treat the three injured people one by one.

It was as if my heart had been lifted to my throat, and all my worries and fears poured out.

"Are they alright?" Concubine Yun was already anxious when she stood aside, how could a good banquet suddenly become like this.

"Yi Concubine Niangniang and Fu Jin only suffered a little skin injury, and they are fine. This girl was not lightly injured, her arms and legs were smashed by wood, and I am afraid that she will have to recuperate. As soon as Imperial Physician Lu finished speaking, he saw Xuan Ye and Fuquan anxiously rushing over.

Hearing Imperial Doctor Lu say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they all still looked at them worriedly.

The movement inside was not small, and naturally it also alarmed the courtiers outside. Fireworks are beautiful, but they always run out. When everything calmed down, the commotion inside became clear. lest things get too big and end badly, they had to disperse the banquet in advance as Fang Cai Xiaozhuang did.

Fuquan looked at Han Ji sitting on the chair with distress, and asked her carefully: "Is there anything else hurt?" Does it hurt? Isn't it scary? ”

A series of questions made it difficult for Han Ji to answer in front of so many people, so he only shook his head silently to appease his frightened heart.

Fuquan was still worried, and gently protected her in his arms, feeling distressed. I blame myself for not being able to guard by my side when something happened. Nalan Rongruo, who was not far away, looked at their husband and wife silently, and the pain in his heart was only clear to himself.

At that moment and at this moment, I was worried about her, I felt sorry for her, and there were people who were desperate to save her. It's not just your duty, it's an instinctive protection. He didn't want her to get hurt, he didn't want to see her hurt in the slightest. Even if she is someone else's wife now.

Xuan Ye sat beside Chunxi, pulled up her newly bandaged arm, and glanced at her gently, knowing that she was safe. Putting down his hand, Xuan Ye stood up and shouted loudly: "Where are the imperial guards Cao Ziqing and Nalan Rongruo?" ”

The two of them were standing not far away, and when they heard Xuan Ye's shout, they immediately stepped forward and said to him, "The minister is here." ”

"Early this morning, I told you two to be careful about the situation here, and carefully check the safety of every place. Are you two derelict in your duties and have failed to do your duty? Now that you have injured Yi Concubine and Fu Jin, and the people around Fu Jin have been seriously injured, can you two be guilty? Xuan Ye reprimanded sharply, mercilessly.

"The minister is guilty." The two men bowed their heads, without a word of explanation. This matter, they themselves feel inexplicable, how can they explain it? In the end, it is also their dereliction of duty, and since the safety of this place is entrusted to the two of them, it should be checked repeatedly. It was their own failure to pay attention that made such a mistake.

Fortunately, no one was killed, although Yanan was seriously injured, after all, it would be good to raise one.

"Your Majesty." Chunxi wanted to get up and speak, but Xuan Ye held her down, thinking that she wanted to intercede for these two people, and immediately said: "You don't have to protect them so much, the two of them have been by my side for so long, and they can't even do such a small thing." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't think that today's incident is the fault of the two of them. When it happened, if it weren't for the desperate protection of the two adults, the concubine and sister would have been crushed under the pile of wood. Chunxi looked at Nalan Rongruo and Cao Ziqing who were kneeling on the ground, how innocent the two of them were. Today's incident, they may have missed the investigation, but after all, they are also making up for it.

Xuan Ye said: "Merit and demerit cannot be offset, if there is a mistake, it will be punished, and if there is merit, it must be rewarded." The two of them should set an example for this. ”

"What if there is something else going on here?" Chun Xi remembered Yan Wan's shout at that time, and immediately said.

Xuan Ye was unclear and looked at Chun Xi suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, before the incident, the concubine had heard a reminder. It was precisely because of this reminder that the concubine pulled her sister apart, so that she would not stand in the middle of the stage when she collapsed. If it weren't for the fact that the concubine and sister didn't stand firm and fell, then we wouldn't have been injured. Chun Xi had already figured out the whole thing in her heart, and smiled silently in her heart.

It turned out that what they had been waiting for for so long came true today. It's just that the price is a bit big, if it weren't for Yan Wan's timely reminder, she and Han Ji would have been seriously injured if they didn't die.

Since the price is so great, there is no reason to let this mastermind escape.

Xuan Ye was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"Yan Wan, the palace maid of Changchun Palace." Chun Xi said truthfully.

"It's a familiar name." Xuan Ye tried hard to recall, how could he have been too busy recently, and where could he remember this.

"But at the beginning of the year, I just gave birth to a little brother's palace maid?" Xiaozhuang is quite impressive, after all, the person who lived was her great-grandson, and she had seen it. It's just that Yan Wan is also low-key when she behaves beside the concubine, and she is not in a hurry to ask for a title when she gives birth to a little brother. This matter, Xiaozhuang's heart is still very touched. Such a woman is rare in the palace, and Xiaozhuang naturally paid attention to it.

There was chaos just now, although Xiaozhuang also heard and saw the person who reminded him loudly, but he didn't take a serious look at who that person was. It was Han Ji who brought over an apprentice, after all, the name of the person was Master.

"Concubine Xuan and palace maid Yan Wan." Xuan Ye's face changed suddenly, and when he heard Xuan Xi say that there was another mystery in this matter, he was already a little uneasy.

It's a good thing to come out of this file, and I'm afraid it's a disaster caused by the harem battle. Although I still don't understand what is going on, it is not difficult to guess the mastermind's intentions.

"Your Majesty." Fuquan walked over from Han Ji's side: "Today's incident not only frightened Yi Concubine Niangniang, but my Fujin also suffered a lot of stimulation because of this, and the maid in my house was seriously injured and unconscious. If it's an accident, if not, I hope the emperor will seek justice for a few people. ”

Xuan Ye looked at Fuquan's face and nodded: "I will definitely give the imperial brother a satisfactory answer." ”

In fact, Fu Quan didn't say it, and Xuan Ye wouldn't spare that master. In the past, everything can be ignored, but today this matter is really damaging to the royal face. In front of so many ministers' wives, such a disaster occurred, affecting the harem concubines and the prince Fujin. Although no human life has occurred, it is extremely bad and must not be tolerated.

The people who announced the concubines walked quickly, and not only the concubines and Yan Wan followed, but also Tong Guifei, Jing Concubine and others.

I'm afraid that the scene just now made the ladies feel a lot of fright. These people should still be talking together and suppressing their shock, and when they heard the summons, they came over together.

"Say hello to the ancestors, please say hello to the emperor." Concubine Tong Guifei took a few people to ask for peace one by one, and immediately opened her mouth to explain: "Fang Cai was on the way back with a few sisters, and I heard that the emperor was investigating the affairs of the banquet, saying that there was something else inside, so I took it upon myself to bring everyone who traveled with the concubines. The sisters are also eyewitnesses, and if they have something to ask, the concubines can easily answer. ”

"It's okay, so as not to go to the trouble of announcing it one by one." Xuan Ye flicked his sleeves and sat down next to Xiaozhuang. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
