Tian's little cook

Chapter 1278
Halfway through the birthday banquet, the theater troupe finally took the stage.

Xiao Guangxin presented the sign with the name of the play in front of the Empress Dowager Wu, "The Empress Dowager please order some plays."

Empress Dowager Wu glanced at it, and ordered a play she usually listened to, "That's it, it's suitable for the occasion."

"Yes." Xiao Guangxin stretched out his hand to summon an eunuch and asked him to inform the troupe to sing the play.

"Okay, it's time to listen to the play. My lords, don't toast General Wu anymore." Seeing that someone was toasting Wu Yuanyin, Empress Dowager Wu spoke out.

As soon as she said that, everyone naturally sat back to their original positions.

"Is General Wu all right?" Empress Dowager Wu worried that he had drunk too much.

"Don't worry, queen mother, uncle is definitely fine." Huangfuchu said first: "The wine in the capital is not as strong as that in the northwest, and this little wine is just better than water for uncle."

Empress Dowager Wu laughed, "Yes."

Wu Yuanyin was already a little dizzy, but when Huangfu Chu said this, he would definitely not refute, "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, I am fine."

"That's good." Empress Dowager Wu was relieved.

At this time, the play had already begun, and Empress Dowager Wu turned her attention to the stage.

Wu Yuanyin shook his head lightly twice, although the wine was indeed not strong, but I don't know if he drank too much just now, and now his head is getting more and more dizzy.

Standing behind him were a few confidants, one of them leaned into his ear: "General, are you okay? Do you want to leave the table and take a rest?"

"No need." Wu Yuanyin reluctantly said.

Now the queen mother is in high spirits, it would be too disappointing for him to leave now.

Huangfu Chu held an empty wine glass in his hand, rubbed his fingers along the edge of the wine glass, stared at the stage, listened to the Empress Dowager's comments from time to time, and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Hua Dan on the stage suddenly came down from the stage holding a longevity peach, and Huangfu Chu slowly grasped the wine glass.

The others were not surprised when they saw Hua Dan's actions, they were obviously here to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

Wu Ruoyan smiled and said, "Queen Mother, this plot is specially added for you, and the adaptation is really good."

"Well, I've put my heart into it." The Queen Mother was also very satisfied.

Huadan was holding the birthday peach, but she didn't come over directly, but took a small peach from the desks of the ministers sitting on both sides, and put it next to the birthday peach, which meant that everyone offered the peach together.

Everyone watched with interest, and the music didn't stop.

Hua Dan walked up to Wu Yuanyin, lowered her body with a plate in her hand, "General Wu."

Wu Yuanyin's head was getting dizzy at this moment, and he managed to pull himself together, "It's up to you."

Hua Dan nodded and stretched out her right hand to grab the peach.

At this moment, a knife slipped out from the cuff of her wide costume, and stabbed Wu Yuanyin fiercely.

Her movement was too fast, before the people behind Wu Yuanyin could react, the knife stabbed directly at Wu Yuanyin's chest.

In normal times, Wu Yuanyin would naturally be able to dodge it, but now that his dizziness has affected his movements, he could only deflect to the left desperately, but he still couldn't dodge, and the knife pierced his shoulder blade.

"General!" One of Wu Yuanyin's lieutenants pushed Hua Dan to the ground and shouted, "Catch the assassin."

There was a sudden chaos in the Hanyuan Hall.

Huangfu Chu threw the cup vigorously, Su Jixun received the signal, and immediately said: "Come here."

As soon as the words fell, a group of imperial guards with knives rushed in, but they were not arresting the troupe, but surrounded Wu Yuanyin and his subordinates.

"What is this for?" Empress Dowager Wu was shocked, "Emperor, you are..."

Wu Luoyan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

Huangfuchu stood up slowly, "Wu Yuanyin treacherous and collaborating with the enemy, reversed the government, take it down!"
