Chapter 243 Sudden Change, Life and Death Crisis

In the court, I can't even look at the copy of the mansion, and I dare not rush to inquire about political affairs. Over the past few days, life has been a little boring.

She did not hear of the disturbances outside the palace, or even knew that Jin Xiang had recovered from his return to the court, let alone that Yu Yu had become a regular guest of the prime minister's mansion and was recognized as a "long son-in-law".

In the Jiuzhong Palace, as a "special existence" that is neither a clan nor a concubine, the amount of information about the scenery has been greatly reduced. In just a few days, it is out of touch with the world.

Fortunately, ten days later, it will be the Empress Dowager.

No banquet, no publicity.

In the early morning, the princes came to Ci'an Palace to celebrate their birthday with the empress dowager, and they were all sent away by the empress dowager, leaving only a few imperial concubines to talk with the side concubines in front of them.

Yijing was not detained by the empress dowager to socialize with her son. Only in the Qianhuazhai in Xiyuan, looking at the emperor's busyness, he also asked Eunuch Zhan to find the history of the Dongming country from the imperial study to relieve her boredom - this set of history books, but the imperial history of the emperor made by Li Shaoqing, only in the memory of the palace, which is rare in the world, which is really valuable. Since holding the scroll, Yijing has been unable to put it down and read it day and night. If it hadn't been for too much handwriting, I would hate to copy it and hide it.

In fact, she had copied it, but was found by the emperor and joked with a smile: "Jing girl and Yuanyang have the same temperament. They love books as fate, but you don't have to waste pen and ink anymore. In those years, Yuanyang has copied a set back to the royal palace. You can ask him to borrow it."

As soon as the scene heard about it, she said that she didn't need to waste things, but she didn't realize the meaning of the emperor's words - borrowing was to be returned, and she had to waste the pen. Only by doing what it was owned, it was really convenient.

On the day of the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, she told Yijing not to be there too early, so Yijing was really no longer polite. It was not until noon when her aunt invited her to go to the side hall.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is not a full birthday. She had already said that there would be no banquet for thousands of years. She only invited the queen, the four concubines, and the prince concubines led by the crown princess, just like ordinary nobles. The family and children sat around two tables and had a lively lunch.

Because of the busy government affairs of the emperor, the Empress Dowager had already told her not to be distracted by the emperor and refused the offer of the emperor to accompany the meal and fulfill her filial piety.

"It's just a family reunion. Today, it's not polite. I also learn from those who have been together for several generations. It's interesting to open up and laugh." The Empress Dowager's words led to not sit in accordance with the palace rules. The Empress Dowager sat on the left side of the queen, followed by the four concubines, while the first one on the right side was the scenery. Next to the scenery was the crown princess, Princess Fu and the fourth princess.

Yi Jing felt that this position was "overriding" the front of the princess, which was very embarrassing, but she couldn't stand the Empress Dowager's insistence on letting her sit beside her side.

And at the other round table, there are several side concubines of the princes, such as Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei and Concubine Zhuo in the East Palace; Concubine Concubine Confucius and Concubine Ning in the third prince's mansion; of course, there are also two flower-like side concubines in the fourth prince's mansion.

Under the four concubines in the palace, including the beautiful concubines who had a prince, they were not invited.

The scenery occupies a good position, and it is very convenient to look around - the crown princess beside her, who is dressed in red today, looks very happy. Under the water-red gauze skirt, her waist is still slender and does not show her, but according to the imperial doctor, the happy pulse has been determined. Monthly pregnancy.

Therefore, the queen was also in a happy mood, and the noble concubine smiled a little. The imperial concubine was still gentle and valued as usual. The virtuous concubine and the concubine Shu were both clever people. Seeing that the empress dowager was very interested today, she tried her best to please.

The arrogant fourth princess obviously had something incompatible with the pleasant and light atmosphere. She sat quietly with lowered her eyes and was secretly stared at by several secret concubine Chen.

What pays special attention to is the table. Yang Fei, who used to be plain and elegant, obviously has been carefully dressed today. Although she has not met the source, she is still silent, but it is eye-catching enough.

Dailuo hooked her eyebrows like willow, and the rouge is dyed into a double glow, showing more and more skin color like jade, clear and moist. The green silk is combed into a flying fairy bun, a coral tears hanging in the center of the eyebrows, embroidered with five-color begonias on her skirt, and deep purple sleeves brocade, all different from the elegance and beauty of the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but she is so gorgeous, but she does not hide it. The cold temperament of the body, no matter how purple and red it is, it is just a jade and ice-clear foil.

The beautiful scenery couldn't move her eyes for a moment, and she was absorbed in a frown of the beauty, or the corners of her lips curled gently.

However, this banquet has begun to be staggered. Even the dignified and dignified in the past has taken the initiative to toast to the Empress Dowager.

Although Chen Guifei smiled happily, she was still full of joy on the surface. She respected the empress dowager and the queen. Her words were also gentle and gentle, without any sarcasm.

Not to mention the two wise concubine and Shufei, who kept talking funny words.

Because the princess was pregnant, she couldn't drink wine, but she didn't say a lot of flattery. She was bewitched by the scenery and raised a cup frequently, and even worshipped them one by one.

"Okay, girl Jing is a serious guest today. Don't bully her when she is young." The Empress Dowager pleaded for the scenery.

"My mother's words are wrong. A Jing is not a guest." The crown princess smiled skillfully and saw the queen's lips and smile, then said the second half of the sentence: "A Jing is the mother's daughter. Many of us don't have her blessings, and even our second sister can't compare with A Jing."

"I hurt you less in the past, so I became jealous." Since the princess was pregnant, the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her has greatly improved, and she also smiled and joked.

Yijing drank a few cups, and his face was very hot. He didn't notice the meaning of the prince's words. He was modest and said a few words. Suddenly, he saw Yangfei coming out of the table, smiling softly, soft and beautiful. His eyes were slow everywhere, and he only felt that there was a fragrance blooming quietly, which was bright that he had never seen before.

But there is an indescribable strangeness that makes the scenery slightly stunned.

Today, Yang Fei is really different from before.

Concubine Yang is here to toast.

Although the banquet has already been staggered and laughing, the side concubines may finally be constrained by their identities. Even Concubine Zhuo, who used to act boldly, did not dare to take the lead. Unexpectedly, the silent Concubine Yang took the lead in toasting to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager is very happy today and has never treated Yang Fei coldly.

Wei Fei and Zhuo Fei looked at each other. Both of them were a little unwilling and did not dare to overdo it. They only looked at each other from afar.

Concubine Yang respected the empress dowager, but did not return to the table. She also drank a cup of wine, but said to the crown princess: "Thank you for your care over the years. The Empress is now pregnant for great joy. I wished the Empress a smooth birth of the emperor's eldest grandson."

During these words, Yang Fei smiled beautifully, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were endless, which made Meijing feel a little strange, but she heard the Empress Dowager say, "Alian can't drink wine, just replace tea."

Yang Fei said gently, "Exactly, the Empress used tea instead of wine, but my concubine wanted to drink it all at once."

Seeing the depths of her eyes, she suddenly slipped a trace of uneasy sadness.

Raise the cup, the wine is exhausted, and there seems to be tears in the eyes.

"Princess, my concubine is really a good life, thank you very much."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone noticed that the situation was wrong, but they didn't have enough to react. They only heard the sound of broken cups falling to the ground, and they didn't see how Yang acted. They only saw her jump on the crown princess, followed by a tragic scream--

The scenery is next to the crown princess, and you can see it more clearly than others.

Before the screaming, the crown princess and Concubine Yang fell to the ground together. Yang Concubine still held a knife handle in her hand, and the blade had penetrated into the prince's lower abdomen, stained with blood, and water lines were distributed on the light red gauze skirt.

It was also Yichen who witnessed the danger. At this time, she had stood up and subconsciously came forward to stop it.

Yi Jing heard the queen scolding angrily behind her: "Yang! How dare you hit the princess!" Obviously, the queen did not know that the princess had been assassinated.

In a breath, Concubine Yang had pulled out the sharp blade. With another sad scream from the princess, the blood in her lower abdomen gushed out like a spring, oozing out from the fingertips of the princess's abdomen.

There are screams all around!

There is the sound of cups falling to the ground, there is the sound of crying, and some people shouting "Assassin"! It's a mess.

Because today was just a "family banquet", the Empress Dowager did not allow eunuchs to enter, but there were still many palace servants with martial arts skills in the hall. At this time, several maids immediately gathered around and surrounded the Empress Dowager tightly.

Yijing felt that someone pulled her, as if she wanted her to retreat to a safe place, but she saw Yang Fei turn around neatly and rushed straight to Yichen.

It's not good!

Yijing raised his arm and first got rid of the pull of the palace servant. He picked up a gold pot on the table, hit Yang Fei, and shouted, "Sister, dodge." While bullying his body, his mind quickly passed the close-up attack method taught by the mother-in-pearl beads, and reached out to grab Yang Fei's wrist.

All this happened between electric flint, and the palace waiters put the empress dowager as the priority and did not have time to react.

Yang Fei was blocked, but she simply let go of Yichen. She turned sideways and blocked the "grabbing" of Yijing with empty hands. Instead, she twisted her arm and blocked it in front of her, followed by the blood-stained dagger in her hand and crossed Yijing's throat.

Yang Fei practice martial arts! Such a cognition quickly crossed in Jing's mind, and her mind gave up resistance before her hands and feet, allowing her to take a few steps back, put her back to the sandalwood pillar in the hall, and stood opposite the pale people in the hall.

"Don't act rashly, or Wu Niang will be buried with me." The ears were slightly warm and cold, and Yang Fei's gentle warning words calmed down the beautiful scenery.

The most touching thing is the last beauty before the destruction. Only then did the beautiful scenery finally understand why Yang Fei is so eye-catching today.

She has long had the heart to sink the boat. Although she used such a fierce and sudden method, it was obviously not an impulse.

The beautiful scenery looked at the princess who shrank on the ground a few steps away. At this time, she could only moan and her eyes were lax. Not only her abdomen, but also blood gushed out under her body, so that the light red gauze skirt had been soaked in blood, and it was difficult to see the original color. Ze.

"If you don't do anything, take down that bitch!" It was the queen who raised the order, aiming at seven or eight chamberlains who heard the news.

The queen, who has always been dignified, noble, serious and cold, actually said crude words such as "bch" under this great change, and did not care about the life or death of the crown princess and the scenery. She only wanted to protect herself first - people often reflect the most real mentality at a critical moment. This is indeed an iron law. .

Yi Jingqi is in crisis, but she is still in the mood to figure out human nature and truth, which seems to show that she is not nervous? Or are you not aware of the murderous intention emanating from Yang Fei at all?

But when she breathed, she suddenly felt a cold throat, and the blade was cold and sharp, which made her skin painful.

"Mother, don't move lightly, the fifth sister is still in danger!" The most anxious person was Yichen. Seeing that the scenery was controlled, she almost rushed forward, but she was afraid that a momentary impulse would harm the scenery. When she heard the queen's order, she actually stood in front of the chamberlains.

"Wait back!" Almost at the same time, the empress dowager had ordered to look directly at Yang Fei.

"Mother, your safety is important..." The queen was full of anxiety.

"Hit!" The Empress Dowager scolded angrily and glanced at the bewied waiter in the hall: "You listen to the fate of your family and retreat quickly!"

Binjing lowered her eyes and saw that the princess had completely fainted in the pool of blood. Her hand covering her lower abdomen slid down weakly, and her palm was red.

"Madam, please stop the bleeding for the princess immediately."

The girl's calm voice gurgrated out, making everyone's eyes focused for a moment.

Yi Jing looked at Yichen's anxious eyes and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, Yang Fei will not hurt me or you."

She heard Yang Fei's laughter close to her ear, which was as gentle as usual.

And the cold blade is still close to proportion.
