I thought that today was a carefree and happy time, but I don't know where those concubines learned about her birthday, from the moment she got up in the morning and was ready to go out, the concubines of the palace came one after another as if they had discussed.

After smiling and dealing with them for a whole morning, Shen Ci's worried face was about to sour.

But the birthday wishes she had been looking forward to never came.

Li Mobai, who is always hanging around in front of him when he has nothing to do on weekdays, seems to have evaporated from the world today, and he has not shown up until now.

[Maybe he doesn't know when my birthday is, right?] 】

[That's right, people care about their 'Concubine Chu', why should they remember my birthday? ] 】

"Little master, little master!" Pei'er hurriedly ran to Shen Ci's side, and then lowered her face and ordered the palace people who were waiting in the hall to retreat.

Only after waiting for the people to empty it did she close the palace door and said solemnly: "Little master, the slave maid and Qi'er found gunpowder outside our Yong'an Palace!" ”

Shen Ciwu followed Pei'er out to check the situation, it was okay not to look at it, this look made her jaw drop.

The entire perimeter of Yong'an Palace has been turned over, and almost a foot away, there is something like a modern 'detonator'.

"Who did this, isn't it going to kill our little master!?"

"With so much gunpowder burning at the same time, I'm afraid that the whole Yong'an Palace will have to be blown to pieces!"

"Little master, we have to tell the emperor quickly!"

Shen Ci was scared herself, but soon, she calmed down, "Do we know who let it go?" What's the use of going to the emperor and telling the emperor if there is no evidence? ”

She pondered for a moment in her heart, and then said: "There are many people in broad daylight, and the people who want to harm me don't dare to make such a big move." Since she is bent on my death, I have to find her out, so that she will not have the possibility of harming me in the future. Find a few trustworthy minions, and water all the twists of gunpowder so that they don't light them. ”

"When night comes, arrange for a few more people to keep watch in the dark. See who dares to sneak in and light the fire, and take that person down immediately! In this way, it can be regarded as a combination of stolen goods. This thing is mad, no matter who does it, it is a dead end. ”

Pei'er and Qi'er received the order and hurriedly set out to handle the matter.

Later, Li Mobai was busy with all the political affairs at hand, and he rushed to Yong'an Palace to celebrate Shen Ci's birthday without taking care of his meal.

He was afraid that this mad woman had been eating, drinking, and merrymaking all day, and had rested early in the evening.

In this way, wouldn't your hard work be in vain?

Shen Ciwei originally thought that he would not come, so he was inevitably a little surprised when he saw him, "Why did the emperor come at this time?" ”

Li Mobai said in his usual tone of somewhat underdogging: "This imperial city is my territory, and you have to approve where I want to go?" ”

Seeing that Shen Ci's worried expression was a little lost, he knocked on her little head with the folding fan in his hand, "Happy birthday." ”

Shen Ciwei's slightly locked brows stretched instantly, and when he saw him coming empty-handed, he smacked his lips and said: "A happy birthday sent me away, I finally prepared a gift for you on your birthday, the emperor's family has a big business, and he is too lazy to perfunctory me with such a face-saving gift?" ”

"How do you know I didn't bring a gift?"

Li Mobai took Shen Ciwu to the courtyard with a mysterious face, and pointed to the sky to guide Shen Ciwu's gaze, "Look." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands knowingly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a 'confident' smile.

Shen Ciwu stared at the dark sky for a long time, and saw nothing except a high crescent moon, so he said embarrassedly: "The emperor doesn't plan to say that the empty moon is a gift from you, right?" ”

[It turns out that there was such a dirty straight man behavior in ancient times? ] There is enough ...... low]

Li Mobai also wondered why there was no movement of fireworks, and thought that the people under Sanfu's hands outside the door didn't hear it, so he clapped his hands a few more times.

As he gave him a high five, what he was waiting for was not the brilliant fireworks, but the palace people of Yong'an Palace escorting a few inner prisoners in night clothes into the palace.

Pei'er said: "Little master, the thief has been captured!" ”

Shen Ci bowed his head slightly, and said to Li Mobai: "Your Majesty, these people don't know who ordered me to put me to death. A circle of explosives was buried outside the Yong'an Palace, if it weren't for Pei'er and their inadvertent detection, I am afraid that now, the concubines and the emperor will have to be blown to pieces by those explosives. ”

Li Mobai vaguely felt that things seemed to be developing in a strange place.

Before he could speak, he heard Shen Ci scold in a worried voice: "Who instructed you to murder me? ”

The wardens in their night robes pointed to one of them, who had a rag in his mouth and whined at what he was saying.

"Pelle, let him go and let him speak!"

Pell stepped forward with the lantern and was about to take the rag out of the man's mouth, but she was startled when the lantern shone on it.

"This ...... Little Lord! It's Sanfu Gonggong! ”

She hurriedly took out the rag from Sanfu's mouth, and Sanfu gasped and shouted injustice, "Shen Guiren misunderstood!" You are the person at the top of the emperor's heart, how dare a slave hurt you in the slightest? Those are all congratulatory gifts prepared by the emperor for you! ”

Gift?

Shen Ci felt a chill down his spine.

Her gaze slowly probed to Li Mobai.

At this moment, his face was also blue and white, and it was extremely ugly.

She took two steps back in a trembling and asked, "So the emperor's birthday gift to me is to up?" ”

Li Mobai held his forehead, so embarrassed that his tone changed, "Idiot! That's fireworks, not explosives! ”

As soon as these words came out, the air was instantly embarrassed and condensed.

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment before he opened his jaw to the point where he was almost about to dislocate and closed it manually, and suddenly conjured up a smiling face and instructed his palace people: "Hurry up, quickly help Sanfu Gonggong up, how can he kneel on the ground in the winter?" ”

Then he jumped up and down in front of Li Mobai, "Thank you for the emperor's congratulatory gift, the concubine likes it very much!" ”

Li Mobai looked at the silent night sky and asked her, "This fireworks haven't been set off yet, do you like to be lonely?" ”

In order to hide his embarrassment, he instructed Sanfu again: "Now there is no misunderstanding, Sanfu, you go and light the 'explosives'." ”

Sanfu is embarrassed: "Your Majesty...... The minion has already tried, and it can't be lit......"

Shen Ci smirked and stumbled to explain, "That...... The concubine didn't know that it was a firework prepared by the emperor, and thought it was explosives, so she asked Pei'er and them to work for an afternoon to ....... Watered all those fireworks twists, so they should be wilting cannons by now......"
