The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 227 The Ritual of Blessing
Lu Yunce froze for a moment, and glanced to the left and right, only to see that the mouths of the two elder brothers did not move.

Who was it that spoke just now?

There are outsiders in the dining room!

Suddenly there was a terrible silence, the firewood on the stove was crackling, and the thick soup in the pot was boiling hot.

The three brothers turned around with cold sweat on their foreheads, and saw more than a dozen masked men in black, who had quietly surrounded them at some point, all of them pointing at themselves with seedling knives in their hands.

Everyone's hearts trembled!
The second elder brother Lu Yunfan immediately stabilized his mind: He has seen this kind of scene a lot, the man in black is not kind, but if you want to take the lives of the three brothers, you can just raise the knife and drop it, you don't need to talk to attract a few people's attention, let alone Will be motionless behind.

Looking at the mahogany box in front of me, I knew it even more.

Shenjiying said that the thieves carried away two boxes, one was here, and the other must have been taken elsewhere by the rebels.

Wait until this thing is blown up to cause a riot, and then strike again.

If they succeed, there is no need for the three of them to live; if they fail, then the three of them and the Lu family will be the scapegoats for the treasoners!
Now, there is no other way but to find a way to escape!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunfan smiled flatteringly and slowly moved forward a few steps, gesturing behind his back with one hand, trying to buy time for Lu Yunzhao and Lu Yunce to find some weapons.

"Hey~ What do you guys mean when you say you can't come back? Why can't I hear..."

But it never occurred to him that after he had only said a few words, the leader of the man in black shouted, "Tie me up!"

Just like that, the snow-white sharp blade was put on the necks of the three brothers.

Before he could resist, his mouth was gagged, his hands and feet were bound and he was thrown aside.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Watching helplessly the man in black leaped onto the roof and left, the three brothers could do nothing even if they tried their best.

Thinking about the fact that the little girl is still in the Luxiao Hall, what if something goes wrong!
At this time, there were a few knocks on the door from outside the dining room: "Boss Lu? Are you there, Boss Lu? Eunuch Liu asked the miscellaneous family to remind us. When will we make the last Xianlian Dou bird's nest almond cheese?" "

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Lu Yunzhao inside the door tried his best, but still couldn't make a sound.

"Bang bang bang" slammed the door again: "Boss Lu! Boss Lu??"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Hey! That's strange!" The little inner supervisor outside the door saw that the door was locked, and there was no one answering in the huge dining room, so he said loudly, "It's a private restaurant with no rules. The Queen Mother's birthday Let’s withdraw the banquet before it’s over~ Let’s see how Master Li Duan dealt with you profiteers! Hmph~”

After the little inner eunuch finished speaking, he twisted his waist and walked towards Luxiao Hall.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door fading away, Lu Yunzhao rolled his eyes anxiously, but he was even more annoyed why he sent out all the cooks and women from Tianfulou.

It's chaotic outside now, and I don't know when these people will come back?

It is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. Although the three brothers could not communicate with each other verbally, they still communicated tacitly with their eyes.

Lu Yunzhao saw the chopping board behind the second brother Lu Yunfan, and his black iron carving knife was resting on it, so he raised his chin: "Uuuuuuuu~"

Lu Yunfan looked back and saw a sharp knife point hanging above his head. He returned Lu Yunzhao with a "look at it" look, and slammed his back against the wooden shelf under the cutting board.

After a few bang bang bang bangs, the wooden shelf behind him fell apart with a bang, and the objects on it fell to the ground.

The three of them were overjoyed, but before they could be happy, they saw the black iron carving knife flying towards Lu Yunfan's crotch.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

Outside the Xinggong Palace, dark clouds are overwhelming the city, and a storm is about to come, but inside the Luxiao Palace, there is another scene of fierce rhetoric.

Originally, the arrogant words of the Urenge son aroused the anger of all the officials, but now there are differences on the matter of the marriage between Da Zhou and the Seven Departments of Danba.

"The fact that your son is plundering in the name of asking for a dowry will not benefit the relationship between our two countries at all. I would like to advise you not to lose too much because of small things!"

The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was flushed all over his face, although he usually looked elegant, at this moment he became flushed when he spoke with the strength of alcohol.

"That's right!" The right servant of the Ministry of Rites followed closely behind, "If we only talk about the dowry, then does the prince also have to pay the dowry?! If my Dazhou fancy a piece of land in your Danba Seventh Department, wouldn't it be possible to ask for it in this name? Want to come over?"

This is to discuss marriage, but the marriage between the two states is even more a state matter.

The female family members present did not dare to listen more, and their hearts were beating drums, but they were even more restless when they heard the officials from the Ministry of Rites discussing the land exchange.

On the contrary, Yan Wangfei Lu Wanlan, who sat at the head of all the female relatives, ate and drank leisurely, completely ignoring the quarrel.

Prince Urenge, who saw all this in his eyes, quietly put down his wine glass, with a deep smile on his cold face: "Why not?"

"You!" The right servant of the Ministry of Rites did not expect this reply from this person, and was choked for a moment.

Just as he was scratching his head and thinking about how to fight back, he saw a small internal supervisor running in from the side door in a panic, whispered a few words to Liu Yuanhai, the chief internal supervisor, and left again.

"Your Majesty, people from the Shenji Battalion are here to report..."

Liu Yuanhai's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and what he said after that was unknown to others, but there was no difference on the face of the Holy Majesty Xiao Jingyu, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Continue."

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites received the imperial edict, gave a salute and then looked at Prince Urenge: "The prince said it lightly, but this involves the re-division of the two states..."

He only spoke halfway, but he saw the little eunuch who had just left came galloping in a hurry.

In this case, over and over again.

But the emperor Xiao Jingyu's face was still full of spring breeze. Seeing that the words of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites were interrupted several times, he came to rescue: "These troublesome things will be discussed later. What time is it now? Didn't it mean that a blessing ceremony was prepared for the queen mother?" ?”

"Return to the Holy Majesty, it is the third quarter of Shenshi, and another quarter of an hour is the auspicious time to put out the lanterns to pray for blessings. Please also ask the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager to take a look outside the hall." The right servant of the Ministry of Rites said.

"En." Xiao Jingyu got up and walked down the steps, walked up to Prince Urenge and stood with his hands behind his back, "I won't mention the other things today, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, why don't you watch the ceremony and pray for blessings with me?"

"Alright." Prince Urenge got up and walked side by side with Xiao Jingyu.

The Empress Dowager also got up with the support of the inner eunuch, followed by the rest of the concubines, officials and family members, and walked towards the entrance of the Luxiao Palace.

Lu Wanlan, who was placed in the crowd, felt a faint sense of danger.

Seeing those little eunuchs coming and going in a hurry, with pale lips, it was obvious that there was something urgent to report, but the performance of the Holy One was too calm and composed!
I don't know what happened to the third brother and Xiao Yanzhi?

She was very flustered in her heart, but when she reached the entrance of the main hall, a bright red under the dim light suddenly brought her back to her thoughts.

A huge mahogany box was carried to the bottom of the eighteen steps by four officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Immediately afterwards, a small eunuch trotted up holding a red Kongming lantern, and knelt down in front of Emperor Xiao Jingyu:
"Report to Your Majesty, today is the Empress Dowager's birthday! Mr. Duan of the Ministry of Rites specially arranged for His Highness the Crown Prince to light the first Kongming Lantern to pray for the Empress Dowager and the Great Zhou. I wish the Empress Dowager will last forever and the Great Zhou will always be prosperous!"

"En." Xiao Jingyu nodded and looked at Prince Xiao Fangji, "Prince?"

"My son is happy to help."

Although he was not informed of this link in advance, since he was praying for the emperor's grandmother, Xiao Fangji still respectfully walked down the steps.

In the eyes of everyone, this move is nothing more than ordinary.

But Lu Wanlan saw that the red paper on the Kongming Lantern was empty, and it was completely different from the way he had discussed with Duan Xinglang to write a congratulatory message.

Seeing Xiao Fangji go down, although she wasn't sure if there was something wrong with the lamp, she still yelled: "Wait!"
