The daughter of an aristocratic family could finally sit down. Their legs were weak, and they sat quietly with their heads lowered, waiting for the news. They just wanted to go home now, no matter how good the entrance ceremony was, they still just wanted to go back. If they really made trouble in Dali Temple,
Each of them will be questioned individually, no one is afraid!
The palace maid has been released, but she is basically running out of breath. Whether she can be saved or not is the same thing.
The chamberlain came back quickly and brought the craftsman's booklet, which showed the styles of the jewelry made at that time.
The first set belonged to King Duan, but the hairpin was wrong, and the second set belonged to King Yong. When she saw the style of the hairpin inside, Concubine Ning's eyes suddenly widened, and it turned out... it really wasn't.
His hands trembled involuntarily, and he only regretted that Piao Xue was stupid and dared to report to him before he understood it.
He gritted his teeth and flipped through it again, and found Yi Wang's set, which was not in the right style.
Concubine Ning regretted it to the extreme. She suddenly realized that she had fallen into a trap set by others to set herself up against Feng Yu? Was it the Queen who did it secretly, or was it someone else? Why didn't she get any wind? Although she reacted later
Come on, Yu Xijiao is not guilty of any crime, but she is the one who caused this incident and cannot escape.
"Concubine Ning, is this the right hairpin?" Yu Xijiao bowed sideways and asked softly.
Concubine Ning put down the book in her hand and shook her head with a smile: "It's not true. I don't know who ordered this palace maid. I will investigate again when I get back. Miss Yu San has been wronged."
Yu Xijiao shook her head and said nothing.
There was such a big commotion, and in the end it turned out that it really wasn't King Yong's. What the palace maid swore just now was true, and she even invited Concubine Ning to go into the palace to get the book. If she wasn't sure of it, how could she dare to say such a thing, how could she dare to do it
Such a thing?
Some people couldn't help but wonder, peeking at Concubine Ning, whether Concubine Ning had deliberately helped Yu Xijiao for the sake of Prince Qi?
"I don't know whether Miss Yu is wronged or not, but I am wronged. This hairpin and a set of jewelry were all given by me. I don't know how it became King Yong's? Is it possible that this prince is the one who has been wronged?"
Shouldn't there be something good? The three cousins have it, but I can't have it?"
Feng Yu asked with a smile, but these words were extremely rude and rude, and he was dealing with three princes.
But no one dared to question him at this moment, "Concubine Ning, please turn back."
Feng Yu pointed at the booklet and said lazily.
Concubine Ning glanced at him hesitantly, then opened the booklet and continued to flip through it. Originally, she thought that there were no more items at the back of the booklet. After flipping through King Yi's jewelry, she closed it. Only now did she realize that there was another set at the back. Looking at it,
The above notes were sent to the ground, as well as the identical hairpin on it, and Concubine Ning's head buzzed.
I can barely hold the booklet in my hand.
The queen actually wore a set of hairpins and sent them to Qidi. She didn't know anything about it...
Holding the booklet with trembling fingers, Concubine Ning tried her best to look natural with her downcast face, then she raised her head and said "surprised": "This... is actually the set of hairpins from Prince Qi's palace?"
"I heard that the three cousins in the capital each have a special set of jewelry. The Queen also left a set for me to use when choosing the concubine in the future. However, it seems that Concubine Ning doesn't know about it?" Feng
Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I really don't know about this matter." Concubine Ning was angry and resentful, but she had to admit, why didn't she know about the Queen's matter, and why no one had ever mentioned it?
"Even Concubine Ning doesn't know about it, so more people don't know about it." Feng Yu said disapprovingly.
Concubine Ning calmed down, with a hint of guilt on her face: "This matter is indeed my fault. I didn't expect that the palace maid next to me would dare to frame Miss Yu San. I really didn't know about it. When I return to the palace, I will definitely
Report to the Emperor and ask the Emperor to investigate this matter."
"Then there is Concubine Laoning." Feng Yu did not insist on sending her to Dali Temple this time.
Now that this matter has been settled, the entrance ceremony will officially begin. The girls who were originally admitted will have to perform their talents. The ladies will prepare the lottery numbers for the daughters of the aristocratic families who are admitted, and let them draw lots to decide the order. However, after this process just now,
In the scene, not to mention the daughters of aristocratic families who were waiting for marriage, even the ladies were in panic.
The screams of the palace maid just now seem to still ring in my ears. Now no one can laugh. There are very few talent performances that are outstanding. They are basically just going through a formality. There are even some who were originally scheduled to dance to a song and are still dancing.
Sometimes my legs were weak and I fell down. For a while, the music was melodious but there was no hint of joy.
Everyone is feeling anxious and anxious, wishing that the time would pass quickly and they could choose any course of interest.
Yu Xijiao's number was at the back, so she was not in a hurry and retreated to her original position to sit down.
Feng Yu and Feng Jingze, the prince of Zhongshan, were the judges. They sat at the front of the stage, and in the middle of the tent was still the most distinguished Concubine Ning.
Everything looked as beautiful as everyone imagined, but the girls who were so frightened could not calm down and perform well.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from a distance and pierced the tent in the middle. A woman who was dancing on the stage could see it most clearly. She screamed and stumbled to the ground. Everyone was confused.
From the tent in the middle came the shrill screams of the chambermaids and palace maids.
Some people ran, some yelled, some fell to the ground, some stumbled over chairs while running, the scene was chaotic...
Yu Xi stood up suddenly, raised her eyes and looked around. She was at the corner at the end. At this time, everyone was rushing towards the corner. If she didn't retreat, she would be rushed out, and she would even be overthrown by the frightened people.
land.
"Girl, let's go." Mingyue took Yu Xijiao's hand and walked to the right corner. The road there was a little narrower, and most of the girls rushing towards her went to another main road.
Yu Xijiao quickly took Minglan's hand and led her over.
The scene was chaotic. Minglan followed Yu Xijiao through the small exit and entered an empty room without running to the road outside the courtyard. After closing the door tightly, several people breathed a sigh of relief. The view here is wide.
It was impossible for random arrows to fly towards me. I looked up and saw that the high platform set up in the middle slowly fell down, facing the tent in the middle.
"This...is this an assassination?" Minglan stammered. This was the first time she had seen such a situation. Even though she was brave, her face was pale with fright, her hands and feet were cold, she leaned behind the door and looked outside.
His voice was trembling, "Who are you going to assassinate? Concubine Ning or... Qi... the Crown Prince?"
These two are the most likely.
Yu Xijiao shook her head and frowned: "I don't know."
His eyes fell on the tent in the middle. The tent was in a mess. Several palace maids and chamberlains rushed out, and then more people ran out to protect Concubine Ning in the middle. There were too many people and it was too chaotic to see clearly what was going on inside.
Concubine Ning is injured, but at least nothing serious has happened yet.
Feng Yu and Feng Jingze, who were sitting in front of the central position, have disappeared, but there are guards maintaining order. It is not known whether they are Feng Yu's people or Feng Jingze's people.
The people present were all women from the inner courtyard. Even though they often fought, they had never faced such a scene. Everyone ran out frantically and blocked the entrance to the courtyard. Some fell down, while others stepped on them.
People crowded in front of the door, almost crushing the courtyard door...
"Are we... okay?" Minglan said in a panic, reaching out and grabbing Yu Xijiao's hand, her fingers twitching and trembling.
Yu Xijiao held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, it will be okay. It's broad daylight. Even if there are assassins, there won't be too many. There's no one here, so no one will come."
"Assassin...will the assassin come here?" Minglan was about to cry, grabbing Yu Xijiao's hand tightly, as if grasping the only life-saving straw, "Assassin...where is the assassin, you
……Did you see it?"
Looking out from the diamond pattern on the door, I only saw people running wildly and no assassins, which made people even more panicked. Not seeing anyone meant that people could hide anywhere.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, someone screamed sharply, and the feeling of dying made more people panic.
"Hide among the people who escaped." Yu Xijiao whispered. She happened to have looked at that location just now, and only saw the people who were running away. She didn't see anyone out of the ordinary.
The maid and the master all ran outside, and now they don't care whether they are the maid or the master.
The crowd became more and more panicked...
Yu Xijiao took a deep breath, her heart beating rapidly. She held Minglan's hand and comforted her while looking outside.
The crowd was still fleeing, but a woman dressed as a maid actually squeezed out of the crowd. After looking around, her eyes fell in their direction, and then she strode over.
Through the edge of the door, Yu Xijiao saw that this maid had a thick body, and her body looked bulging. Her face was not as soft as that of a maid. Her heart skipped a beat, and then she took a closer look.
Only then did I realize that there was something wrong with this maid. She had almost no eyes covered by the sea, her eyes were fierce, and her face was sharp and angular.
This...is clearly a man.
"Ah." Minglan also saw it, she was so frightened that she let out a low voice, and suddenly tightened her grip on Yu Xijiao.
Her exclamation alarmed the man who came over to check. He suddenly looked at the door of the wing. Minglan shivered. Yu Xijiao helped her squat down. Minglan's maid had already been so frightened that she fell to the ground.
Yu Xijiao held Minglan behind the door and pointed at the maid. The maid hurriedly crawled over and sat down next to Minglan, her whole body trembling.
Yu Xijiao patted Minglan on the shoulder and walked to the door again. Mingyue reached out to help her, and the master and servant secretly looked out together.
The man dressed as a maid had already arrived at the door. After looking around, he stepped forward and pushed the door. The door was bolted on the inside and could not be pushed open.
There was a smug smile on the man's face. He reached into his arms and took out a dagger. He lifted it up and saw a cold light. Mingyue's face turned cold and she suddenly pushed Yu Xijiao behind her...
