Chapter 295 Juggling Team
As for why Mrs. Wei became insane, it is said that more than ten years ago, her son who was under three years old was lost at the lantern festival. But it was already a corpse.
It is said that the death was extremely tragic. After hearing the news, Mrs. Wei rushed to see her son's death. Under the mental stimulation, she went crazy on the spot.
Even if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, just relying on this information will make people feel unreasonably uncomfortable.
The pain of losing a child, and still such a shock, how many people in this world can bear it!
For a while, the hall was silent, and no one spoke.
In the end, it was Eunuch Li, the Chief Eunuch who broke the silence.
"Your Majesty, someone from the imperial dining room said that the meal is ready, and asked when we can start the meal."
Jing and Di stood up: "Let's go."
Several people stood up and walked out, just at this time the prince also came back.
Shen Mingjiao glanced casually, the prince's expression was the same, but he was a little dazed.
She raised her eyebrows with great interest, and the white moonlight returned in her heart. The prince didn't seem very happy, but instead looked sad.
At this moment, the group of people walked to Changxuan, and almost all the ladies came back. They are gathering in twos and threes to gossip. The jugglers in the stands are still performing hard.
Begonia, who was guarding outside the hall, watched with gusto. At this time, more than a dozen performers on the stage held special umbrellas in their hands, stepped on each other's shoulders lightly, and turned the handles of the umbrellas in their hands at the same time, changing the shape of various flowers.
This juggling is called "Hundred Flowers Blooming", and it has been passed down from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Seeing the empress and others coming over, they subconsciously stopped their movements, hesitating whether to salute.
Jing and Di raised their hands to stop everyone from saluting, and looked at the prince with a frown, obviously very dissatisfied with his shrinking behavior.
The prince didn't say anything, just bowed his head and smiled wryly.
The palace maid next to the empress said to the female relatives: "It's getting late, ladies and gentlemen, please move to the Xianfeng Pavilion."
The Xianfeng Pavilion is close to the front palace, and it is specially used for entertaining female relatives in the palace for banquets.
This time the queen's birthday was aimed at choosing a concubine for Prince Ze, so although it was more lively than in previous years, only the family members of the officials were invited, and the ministers of the DPRK and China did not come.
After the grand lady finished speaking, Jing and Emperor raised their feet and planned to return to Qinzheng Hall to handle official duties.
But when passing by the stands, a sudden change happened,
I saw a dozen or so actors on the stage who were about to take a curtain call suddenly burst into flames, turned the umbrella in their hands, and shot several hidden weapons from it.
The first person pulled out the hidden weapon disguised as a hairpin on his head, and stabbed at Jing and Di.
This change happened only in an instant, the huge open room entered for a moment, and then it seemed to react, and the screams continued for a while.
Shen Mingjiao didn't have time to think about it, she grabbed the queen's arm and instinctively stepped back.
The queen didn't notice anything, she just stared blankly at the lead assassin stabbing Jing and Di's chest with a hidden weapon.
She wanted to rush forward, but was firmly held back by Shen Mingjiao and the maid who was close to her.
Just at this critical moment, someone suddenly rushed out, opened his arms to block Jing and the emperor, and shouted "Don't hurt your majesty"
It's actually Princess Xiyue!
…
A quarter of an hour ago, Princess Xiyue followed the prince back to Changyin Pavilion. She tried to approach her several times to talk to her, but the prince didn't look at her at all.
She twisted the handkerchief unwillingly, but at this moment, Jing and Di and his party came out of the side hall and walked this way.
Princess Xiyue raised her head subconsciously, and a mature and handsome face came into view.
Jing and Di are only in their late forties this year, and all the men in the Feng family are handsome, and Jing and Di are no exception.
Seeing Jing and Emperor like this, Princess Xiyue suddenly had an idea. Since she wants to marry into the Daxia royal family and become a favorite concubine who can influence the court, why does she stare at the crown prince and King Su? Mingjing and the emperor are the most suitable candidates.
Compared to Shen Mingjiao and Su Qing, it is obvious that the gentle and simple queen is much easier to deal with.
She was thinking about how to get close to Jing and Di, when something happened suddenly, and she watched the lead assassin charge towards Jing and Di with a hidden weapon.
In the blink of an eye, she thought of a brilliant idea. If she desperately saved Jing and Di, then Jing and Di would be grateful to her, and she would use another means...
She gritted her teeth, calculated the angle and rushed forward without hesitation. At this time, she was glad that she was very close to Jing and Di because she followed the prince.
No one knows, her heart is longer than others,
Although you will still be injured, as the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger.
She closed her eyes, already rehearsing in her mind what to say later?
The expected pain didn't come, but there was a muffled groan.
…
Just when the hidden weapon in the assassin's hand was approaching Princess Xiyue, Wei Che, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly lifted his foot, and kicked her to the ground with lightning speed and precision.
Such quick movements are too different from his usual cool and dusty image.
At the same time, the first army outside rushed in, and the dozen or so actors were quickly captured.
This change came quickly, and it ended quickly.
However, due to the sudden incident, many female servants were injured, and there was constant panic and crying at the scene.
The queen supported her limp body, and called for the imperial physician in a series of voices.
Jing and Di looked ugly, "Take these rebels down and interrogate them!"
The guards of the Forbidden Army took the lead, and they were removing the limbs and jaws of these assassins to prevent suicide. The leading assassin suddenly raised his head, stared at Jing and Emperor, and said every word, gritted his teeth and hated:
"Emperor Dog, six years ago. You did not hesitate to kill your parents and children for your own selfish desires. I will avenge the prince..."
The commander of the Guards who reacted hurriedly had his mouth gagged.
