Mo Lingwei successfully won the first place, and naturally won the colorful phoenix lantern.

But when Shen Ningning was carrying the colorful phoenix lantern and waiting at the exit of the maze with everyone, he couldn't wait for Qi Xiuwei.

She couldn't help but ask everyone, "Who of you just met Xiaowei?" Why hasn't she come out yet? ”

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

Some people even said, "Are you still trapped inside?" ”

"Probably not, it's already timed out, just now the two of us are the shopkeepers and came over, reminding us that it's time, she may have come out."

Shen Ningning raised his eyebrows and looked around.

There were too many people in the market, and Qi Xiuwei didn't bring a maid.

Seeing the worry on Shen Ningning's little face.

Mo Lingwei wanted to speak several times and stopped.

In the end, he still took the initiative to say to Shen Ningning: "I met her, but I didn't follow the same path as her." ”

When Shen Ningning heard this, he immediately said, "Let's wait for her together!" ”

They can't go back to the palace first and leave Qi Xiuwei here alone.

At this moment, the Nine Emperor Princes and his party, who had already been brought out, came from the side.

They learned that Shen Ningning was waiting for Qi Xiuwei.

Mo Zhirou covered her lips, a little surprised: "Didn't Miss Qi tell Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Just now we saw that she had already left the labyrinth, and she asked us to borrow a carriage and go back to the palace first. ”

Shen Ningning was stunned.

The Nine Emperors' eyebrows were faint, with a tentative smile.

"I remember Funing, you have a good relationship with your cousin, why, she didn't tell you and asked you to wait?"

Mo Zhirou shook her head and sighed: "Fortunately, the princess met us, otherwise if we keep waiting here, we will miss the time to return to the palace, but the emperor said that he wants all of us to go back as soon as possible, and watch him give the glazed Buddha to the jackpot winner of the lantern." ”

Everyone has to go back after having fun, especially Shen Ningning.

Because it was declared to the public that the Glass Buddha had been blessed by her, she had to be present.

If she misses the hour, the emperor may not punish her, but there is something bad about it.

Shen Ningning didn't care, pursed her pink lips, and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes and his party with a cold face.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, I don't want to quarrel with you."

She directly grabbed Mo Lingwei, who was about to get angry beside her: "Brother, let's go back to the palace now to confirm whether Xiaowei has gone back." ”

After all, the mouths of the Nine Emperor Princes and Mo Zhirou are not worth believing!

Mo Lingwei nodded, and the group returned to the palace in a carriage.

It turned out that the lantern winner had already appeared, and he was about to let the man carry the lantern he made into the palace to receive the award.

As soon as Shen Ningning returned to the palace, he asked the palace people to ask.

"Have any of you ever seen Miss Qi?"

Everyone said that they had seen it: "Not long ago, Miss Qi came back, as if she was not in a good mood, and went for a walk in the bamboo forest on the side of the Zhaori Tower alone." ”

After the palace maid said this, Shen Ningning wanted to find her.

"Shen Ningning." Mo Lingwei called out to her from behind.

The little girl turned around and blinked her round black eyes: "Huh? ”

Mo Ling was about to speak and stopped, his narrow and dark thin eyes looked a little at a loss.

"I," he hesitated to say, but in the face of Shen Ningning's inquisitive face, he still confessed, "It may be that I provoked Qi Xiuwei." ”

Shen Ningning was stunned: "Are you murdering her?" ”

Mo Lingwei shook his head, half-twisting his long eyebrows: "It's not fierce, I talk to others, and my tone has always been like this, so I just said a few words and let her go first." ”

Except that he provoked it, he really couldn't think of any other reason to let Qi Xiuwei leave early without saying a word.

But he also did this to avoid suspicion.

Qi Xiuwei can't be deeply shocked by what he said, right?

But when she left, her expression was quite normal.

Seeing that Shen Ningning cared so much about Qi Xiuwei, Mo Lingwei felt that it was better for him to confess in advance.

Save the little girl from knowing, in case he really provokes it, he can avoid a misunderstanding.

Shen Ningning's eyes were dark, but he didn't mean to blame.

"Xiaowei is not such a calculating person, it may have encountered something else, and the recent oppression in her family has given her a headache."

After speaking, she took the initiative to hold Mo Lingwei's hand: "Brother, let's go and take a look, if it is really you who bullied her, then let's just say it." ”

Mo Lingwei was rebellious, but after meeting Shen Ningning, it was what she said.

He didn't veto this, and followed Shen Ningning to the direction of Zhaori Tower.

The rest of his best friends followed from behind.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and at this moment, a forbidden army in front of them hurriedly ran over, shouting-

"Hurry up and inform the emperor that someone is in the Zhaori Tower and has broken the glass Buddha!"

The crowd was shocked.

The glazed Buddha is a treasure placed by the emperor in the national temple.

This time, if it weren't for the positive emotions of the people, they wouldn't have come out.

The glazed Buddha that is enshrined in the Shōri Tower, who will go in and break it?!

Shen Ningning sighed in his heart, and he only felt bad.

"Let's go, maybe Xiaowei is in trouble."

She trotted all the way.

When they arrived at the foot of the Shōri Tower, they found that the forbidden army had surrounded the place.

Today, Commander Lu happened to be on duty in the palace.

He looked at Qi Xiuwei, who was pale and helpless, pursed his lips and said a little ruthlessly: "Miss Qi can't leave now, everything, wait for the emperor to come and make a decision." ”

Shen Ningning raised his eyes and saw that standing under the moonlight, a hazy blue figure, Ying Ying was weak, who was not Qi Xiuwei!

"Xiaowei!" She hurriedly ran over.

The Praetorian Army stopped her outside.

Commander Lu took the initiative to explain: "Your Royal Highness the princess, please don't come close, Miss Qi broke the glass Buddha, and she wants to wait for the emperor to come up." ”

Qi Xiuwei's face was pale, as if she had been frightened: "I didn't do it!" When I entered, the glazed Buddha was already broken! ”

Commander Lu didn't listen to these explanations, and only said: "When the emperor comes, Miss Qi will tell the emperor alone." ”

After a while, the emperor arrived with a group of people.

Tonight's lantern festival, the emperor and the harem concubines were happy, including Concubine Qi.

Everyone drank a little wine, and their faces were crimson when they came, but the emperor's face had turned cold.

Especially when the emperor saw that Commander Lu held the broken glass Buddha in front of him.

His stern gaze turned to Qi Xiuwei.

"Why did you enter the Tower of the Sun?"

Qi Xiuwei trembled: "Courtier, the courtiers heard the cry of an eagle in the Zhaori Tower, and thought that an eagle was trapped. ”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, and he glanced at the Tower of the Sun.

"And you found the eagle?"

Qi Xiuwei shook her head, her face even paler.

She originally came here to relax in frustration, because the bamboo forest was quiet, and no one could find her crying.

She just didn't want her embarrassment to be discovered.

But when she heard the call of the eagle, she immediately thought of the fierce wings.

The cry was anxious, as if accompanied by a fluttering movement.

Bizarrely, there were no patrolling forbidden troops passing by.

Qi Xiuwei could only go in by herself, she searched repeatedly, but did not find the so-called eagle, but found that the glass Buddha had been broken and was on the ground.

Concubine Qi frowned at this time, and said worriedly: "Wait for the people who won the jackpot to enter the palace to receive the glazed Buddha, the emperor has already let the words out, but if we can't take out the glazed Buddha, how can we win the trust of the world." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Qi Xiuwei, shook her head and sighed lightly: "Wei'er, you are really reckless, don't you want to make the emperor a person who is untrustworthy in everyone's mouth?" ”

In a word, Qi Xiuwei's situation was beaten to the bottom. (End of chapter)
