The Imperial Dining Room was busy until late at night, finally making up for the losses of the day, but it was strange to look at the proud smiles on the faces of those old and tall people with swollen mouths.

Ling Xiaorou said hello and went back to rest first, because it was also a delay in preparing for the New Year's banquet, Ling Xiaorou lived in the room next to the imperial dining room.

Awakened by the noise outside at night, Ling Xiaorou got up and came out to take a look, and the imperial chefs who were also busy and didn't have time to go home also came out, listening to the chaos over there for a long time, it seemed that they were arresting someone, and then they quieted down.

When I got up early the next day, I heard that the assassin came to the palace last night, and he didn't catch anyone after a night's arrest, but he knew that the assassin was still in the palace and didn't escape, so that all palaces should pay attention, and if they found the assassin, they must try their best to arrest them.

Ling Xiaorou didn't take it seriously, she always heard that someone sneaked into the palace to assassinate the emperor, since there was no news of the emperor's assassination, presumably this New Year's banquet had to be continued.

Besides, let them try their best to arrest? The forbidden army of the palace has not been caught all night, why should these people who wield spatulas all day long arrest people? Or do they just do what they have to do, there is a target as big as the emperor is there, and the assassins can still deliberately run towards them?

Tomorrow is the critical moment, and she has to continue to lead people to continue to prepare for the New Year's banquet.

During the day, I heard that the Queen Mother made a decree to let Chen Shuyi wait for delivery in Fucui Palace with peace of mind, and there was no need to attend this New Year's banquet. I think it was the Queen Mother who also learned about what she did in the imperial dining room, and she was actually put under house arrest on the grounds of waiting.

I didn't hear the rumors of Chen Shuyi crying, and she didn't dare to offend the Queen Mother.

In the afternoon, there was chaos in the palace for a while, saying that they were catching assassins in one palace after another, but in the end, I don't know if they were caught.

Finally, in the Chinese New Year's Eve, I got up in the morning and began to mix noodles and noodles, cut vegetables, and the cold dishes made two days ago were also put on the plate and just waiting to be served.

The ingredients are all prepared, in addition to the various carvings carved with radish, the ingredients are also arranged into various beautiful patterns on the plate, the most conspicuous is a huge plate with a flying dragon carved from carrots, surrounded by auspicious clouds carved from white radish, even the imperial chefs who have learned carving with Ling Xiaorou in the past few days, when they see such a majestic flying dragon formed under Ling Xiaorou's skillful hands, they are still amazed, and almost forget the work at hand.

Or was it under Ling Xiaorou's reminder that the imperial chefs remembered that this was the juncture of the New Year's banquet, where could they still be in a trance?

According to Ling Xiaorou's previous instructions, they all began to get busy with the dishes in their hands, although the final product has not yet been seen, just with the preparation of these ingredients and Ling Xiaorou's ability to turn decay into magic these days, the imperial chefs are very much looking forward to tonight's New Year's banquet, as long as the New Year's banquet is done, not only Ling Xiaorou will be famous all over the world, but they can also follow the light, and when it comes to mentioning this New Year's banquet that can go down in history, they assisted in completing it, even if it is mentioned with future generations, they all have a light on their faces.

For a while, the only sound of pots and spoons colliding could be heard in the imperial dining room, and everyone was concentrating on what they were doing, and no one was willing to waste time on small talk.

Seeing that there were only the ingredients left for the New Year's banquet that needed to be freshly fried, Ling Xiaorou secretly cheered herself up, although it was the first time to prepare such a grand banquet, she would definitely do it.

The imperial dining room was busy in a tense and methodical manner, and everyone was very enthusiastic, thinking that this annual banquet could not go wrong in their own way.

Suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside the Imperial Dining Room, and when the people in the Imperial Dining Room came back from their concentration, the sound of the fighting was already approaching.

Everyone heard about the assassins in the palace last night, could it be that the unlucky assassins fled to the imperial dining room by the panicked assassins?

Before the people in the imperial dining room could come to their senses, several black shadows had already rushed into the imperial dining room, dressed in black clothes and black pants, obviously assassins, followed by the Praetorian Guards with swords in their hands.

Ling Xiaorou was dumbfounded, how could this be a fight to the imperial dining room, they had been busy with the imperial banquet for many days.

Although these foods were beautiful in the eyes of Ling Xiaorou and the imperial chefs, the assassins at the moment of life and death couldn't control so much, they really cut people when they saw them, and the few little eunuchs who were at the door before were cut to the ground by the assassins because they couldn't dodge in time, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Ling Xiaorou didn't care about others at this time, she saw the table and got in, and after she got in, she saw the head of the imperial dining room and a few imperial chefs who had already entered before her, smiling at each other, it seemed that everyone was very clever.

There was a loud clang outside, the dishes were shattered, and through the tablecloth that didn't reach the floor, you could see the carefully made ingredients all over the floor being trampled on by the feet of the handles without pity.

Ling Xiaorou and the imperial chefs all had extremely painful expressions, and they didn't need to think about it to know that tonight's New Year's banquet would not be done.

At this time, I can't control this much, saving my life is the key, I never imagined that the palace, which is known as a sparrow can't fly in, would have assassins sneak in, and finally hit the imperial dining room.

Finally, when the sound of the fight outside had subsided, the assassins were caught and killed except for the two who escaped, and the rest of the people were caught and killed, and the imperial dining room finally regained its calm.

Ling Xiaorou and the others crawled out from under the table again, and saw more than a dozen little eunuchs and two imperial cooks lying on the ground, all covered in blood, and the assassins who had been captured alive or hacked to death had been taken away.

The chief eunuch had the courage to go over and look at them one by one, and the injuries were not light, and the eunuchs who were cut down in front of the door before obviously couldn't survive, and the two relatively light ones were injured in the thigh and the other in the chest, and the blood was like a fountain

It's just that it's still chaotic outside, and no one cares about it, and if it continues to bleed like this, it will have to bleed to death even if it is not hacked to death on the spot.

Just when everyone was at a loss, there was chaos outside the imperial dining room, Ling Xiaorou and the uninjured people were frightened and fell back under the table, and the injured people also fell to the ground, pretending to be dead.

Until I heard someone shouting anxiously: "Big girl...... Big girl......"

"Big Girl......

Ling Xiaorou was relieved, He Louyuan and Ling Feng had come so quickly, they must have been in the palace before.

After answering, he climbed out from under the table, and was pulled in front of him by He Louyuan to look at it again and again, Ling Feng next to him wanted to stretch out his hand several times, but was blocked by He Louyuan, so he could only do it in a hurry.

Ling Xiaorou had a lot of blood on the injured imperial chef before, and it was shocking to look at, but it made He Louyuan and Ling Feng's palms cold.

Fortunately, Ling Xiaorou repeatedly explained that the blood was not her own, so the two of them were in the mood to look at the injured lying on the ground.

Ling Feng is also very good at checking the injury, and he can also help deal with small injuries, but like the two imperial chefs, he really can't help it, he beckoned to He Louyuan, He Louyuan was very reluctant to let go of Ling Xiaorou, and personally went over and clicked a few times on the bleeding wounded, and saw that the fountain-like blood was slowly stopped, Ling Xiaorou once again saw the magical kung fu of acupoints, but she still couldn't believe it.

The imperial dining room obviously couldn't stay, He Louyuan asked people to remove a few door panels, lift the seriously injured up, and take the lightly injured directly away, no matter what, the injuries had to be healed first.

Ling Xiaorou can't care about the New Year's banquet or not, so many people have died, is there still any heart to hold a New Year's banquet in the palace?

It's a pity that the hard work she has been preparing for so long has been ruined like this, and if those assassins fall into her hands, they will definitely not be happy.

He Louyuan came out of the imperial dining room with a frown behind him, his sister was obviously his, but how could He Louyuan hug him so calmly, he didn't even let him hold his little hand, he had something to say to Ling Xiaorou.

Outside, mottled blood stains could still be seen on the ground, listening to the meaning of He Louyuan's words, the assassin sneaked into the palace last night, and the original intention was to assassinate Li Xun.

According to Li Xun's habit in the past, the assassin had been ambushed in the Fucui Palace, but he didn't want Li Xun to rest in the Fucui Palace that night, but went to the Tongjin Palace.

Chen Shuyi yelled in fright, the assassins fled in a hurry, Chen Shuyi also had a fetal gas, and the Queen Mother let her raise the fetus in the palace after learning about it, but it was not all to punish her for the imperial dining room.

It's just that the palace blocked the news, and the Ningyuan Palace's mansion didn't get the letter, and he didn't hear about it until he entered the palace this morning, otherwise he would have entered the palace yesterday to take Ling Xiaorou out of the palace, and he wouldn't let her be frightened.

Fortunately, in addition to the blood on her body, Ling Xiaorou looked quite calm, and she didn't look like she was frightened.

Then came the news that four of the assassins who infiltrated the palace this time died, ran two, and arrested three, and the palace was temporarily peaceful, but when they were interrogated, those assassins insisted that they stayed in the side hall where Ling Xiaorou lived last night, if it weren't for the owner of the side hall to help them hide, they would have been caught when they searched the palace last night.

For a while, everyone in the palace suspected that these assassins were colluding with Ling Xiaorou, and if they really sat down, Ningyuan Palace, they would also be implicated.

And for these obviously framed testimonies, Ling Xiaorou just 'sneered', she didn't go back to the side hall to sleep last night as usual, as long as the people in the imperial dining room can testify to her, it is absolutely impossible to frame her.

But who is it that wants to use this idea to frame her? When she learned that those assassins were sent by Xiyi, Ling Xiaorou probably guessed it.

can not only frame her, but also pull King Ningyuan into the water, Xiyi people are not all brainless.

After the imperial chefs and eunuchs in the imperial dining room were brought over for questioning, Ling Xiaorou's suspicions were cleared, but the question came again, how did the Xiyi people sneak into the palace, and how did they know that Ling Xiaorou lived in the side hall, and knew the emperor's whereabouts so well, if there was no internal response in the palace, these would be impossible at all, but in any case, they couldn't ask who the internal response was from the assassin's mouth.
