Chapter 278 Shocking News
The emperor has always been suspicious, but in this matter, he has never been suspicious.

In front of the emperor, Concubine Hui couldn't say much. After all, she never did anything to stir up trouble, but she was full of doubts.

Deep in the dense forest, how did the queen find it?Not to mention the dangers along the way and the difficult road in the dense forest, just the timeliness of her appearance made people suspicious.

What puzzled Concubine Hui even more was that the assassin slashed with the sword. Logically speaking, it should have hit the queen's upper body, but why it was her leg that was injured, and it was still the calf near the ankle.

This is one of the reasons. What makes Concubine Hui still unable to let go is that the other three people who were originally planned to be selected along with the Queen died of various reasons after returning to Beijing, but they were all accidents.

It's a really creepy coincidence.

The memories were long, but in fact they only lasted a blink of an eye. Her thoughts gradually came together. Concubine Hui looked towards the emperor with a smile. Sure enough, just as the queen finished speaking, the emperor's eyes filled with tenderness shimmered. She looked towards the queen, and a pair of big hands caressed her hand. Hands on knees, hold tightly.

Concubine Shu on the side looked sour. She lowered her head and curled her lips. Jealousy flashed in her eyes. Then she raised her head and said to Concubine Hui: "Sister, are you really going to the hunting ground?" Her eyelashes were slightly drooped, half-covering her eyes, making it difficult to see clearly. look.

However, Concubine Hui didn't bother to look at it.

After fighting for more than ten years, who doesn't understand who is a person!Why go and see? Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that she is not asking well-intentioned.

Not afraid that Concubine Shu might not come down, Concubine Hui immediately picked up her wine glass and took a sip without hearing anything.

Concubine Shu immediately gritted her teeth, but since the emperor was there and it was difficult to get angry, she just said in a sharp and sour voice: "My sister is getting more and more arrogant. When I talk to you, my sister is always so arrogant."

Hearing this, the emperor immediately frowned and looked at the two of them.

The banquet should have ended long ago, but because the emperor had not left yet, the guests had no choice but to continue sitting patiently.

Seeing the Emperor's gaze, Concubine Shu's heart moved, and she was about to continue to say some sarcastic words to blackmail Concubine Hui. Suddenly, a maid in green clothes stumbled in from outside. Regardless of etiquette and dignity, she kicked deeply and lightly. , staggering straight to the center of the dance floor, "thumping" and kneeling down.

It was more like collapsing than kneeling.

The moment he fell, a velvet flower embedded in the loose bun rolled down his shoulder and fell to the ground. He was running so fast, sweat streaming down his face. On his innocent face, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were filled with tears. Horrified, pupils dilated.

The queen recognized at a glance that this was Xiao Jingyu, a palace servant from Hehuan Palace.

She loved her daughter so much. When she thought of her daughter's weak, frightened and restless appearance when she left, the queen's heart suddenly shrank, and she opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong? But what happened to the princess?" A golden step on her head followed her. His voice trembled from side to side like a frightened bird, and his dignified face was as heavy as iron.

The sudden and unruly intrusion of the palace maid in green silenced the somewhat noisy hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. As soon as the queen's trembling words came out, the hall became extremely quiet.

The sudden silence made the Queen's heart tremble, her eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly felt regret.

After decades of ups and downs, why is she still so uncontrollable? The queen couldn't help but blame herself. Her direct questions like this didn't push her daughter into the public eye, so what? Such emotions lingered in her heart, the queen The look in the eyes of the maid became more dignified and tense.

Buddha bless you, but don’t say anything you shouldn’t!
The palace maid bumped in so carelessly and regardless of the occasion, the emperor's face, which had been as gentle as jade just now, suddenly took on the unique majesty of a superior, and his eyes were piercing in anger.

Jingyu is becoming more and more unbecoming, what kind of thing can she do to allow her maid to be so disrespectful and disrespectful of the palace rules.

Today's banquet was comparable in scale to a state banquet. How could she, a little palace maid, just come in at her request? Why should she rush in with such an attitude, putting the honor of the royal family at all?

It's outrageous!

Glancing at the empty seat next to him, the anger in the emperor's eyes dissipated slightly. Fortunately, Chu Tiange was not there, otherwise, it would make him think that our court is incompetent.

There was a heavy cold snort from his nose, and the emperor said: "What's wrong?"

The palace maid collapsed on her knees, like a dying koi, gasping for air. She was about to reply when she raised her eyes and met the emperor's stern gaze. Suddenly her tongue flashed and her whole body started shaking like chaff.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness... did not return to the Huan Palace." After taking a few deep breaths, she finally said with a trembling voice: "Slave... I heard that the princess was unwell... I went here specially... As a result, the princess was not received, but someone said that after the princess left the hall, she directly dismissed the sedan that sent her back, and left side by side with the eldest lady of the Chinan Marquis Mansion, but did not go towards the Hehuan Hall. .”

As the voice began to speak, the fear and tension in her heart seemed to gradually dissipate, and her voice became calmer, "I followed the direction I found out and searched all the way, but I searched almost all over the palace, and I couldn't find it." To Her Royal Highness the Princess and the eldest lady of the Marquis of Chinan."

Following her words, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became dignified.

Everyone still vividly remember how Xiao Jingyu left the banquet hall. She was so weak that she could hardly lift her feet when walking. However, she dismissed the sedan chair after leaving the hall. This was really inconsistent with her usual arrogant temperament.

That was all, but since she was already so weak, why didn't she just go back to Huan Palace?
Gu Yuqing from the Chinan Hou Mansion was the one she personally asked to see off by name, but the two of them walked side by side in the opposite direction to Hehuan Hall, and at this moment they both disappeared...

Thinking of all this, everyone couldn't help but speculate, but everyone knew that this matter had already involved the royal face that the emperor valued most, and it was really a taboo. Although everyone was filled with excitement, they looked downcast and wished they could be transformed into A non-existent ostrich.

When the queen heard this, her face changed with shock, the butterfly-winged beaded flower on her head trembled majestically, and the joints of her hands holding the handkerchief were distinct.

Really, what are you afraid of, what are you doing!
She simply hated herself. Why didn't someone pull this palace maid aside to question her in the first place?

At this point, the queen tried her best to save the situation, "The palace is so big, the princess and Miss Gu are just walking around and saying some thoughtful words, but you seem to be cautious, such a big person, and she has been here since she was a child. Having grown up in the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace, it is possible that she could be lost."

The palace maid was so nervous and flustered that something had obviously happened.

She was obviously worried to death, but in order to remove Xiao Jingyu from the storm, the queen forced herself to hold the handkerchief and pretend to be calm, and said.

However, Concubine Hui suddenly remembered the last time Xiao Jingyu kidnapped Gu Yuqing. Her face turned pale and she exclaimed, "Oh my God, could I have gone to that small island in the middle of the lake again..."
