Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 250 Seriously Injured
The royal family banquet is not that simple. There are many things involved in it, and the people involved are wide-ranging.

General's Mansion, as Huo Mingzhu's natal family, Huo Zhengde is already the head of the country, so he must attend, especially this family banquet is held for Huo Mingzhu.

Therefore, as Huo Mingzhu's natal family, including the potbellied Yu Tong, they all came.

By the way, Yu Tong is no longer a concubine, but a flat wife. For this, Huo Mingzhu appreciates Yu Tong even more. , This is not what ability is.

Thinking of the expression on Lin Ruyi's face because of this, she was in a good mood.

Sulu was putting a headdress on Huo Mingzhu, and a maid next to her was holding a phoenix crown in her hand, planning to pass it on to Sulu.

Sulu's hands passed away, but she saw Huo Mingzhu smiling, so Sulu said: "Mother, don't do anything that hurts your body anymore, that fainting really scared me to death."

"It's just you talking too much." Huo Mingzhu laughed and scolded Su Hui, although she knew that Su Hui was for her own good, but she had said this matter several times, how could Huo Mingzhu accept that she kept talking like this.

"Your Majesty, don't you don't want to listen to it." As Su Yu said, she had already taken over the phoenix crown, and then she exclaimed: "Oh, this phoenix crown is really heavy, won't your empress be tired from wearing it?" , Your Majesty is not in good health, really, the emperor didn't know that he ordered everyone to wear ordinary clothes."

Huo Mingzhu laughed after hearing this: "You think this is the street?"

After a while, Huo Mingzhu was dressed neatly, with a graceful and luxurious appearance, Su Hui looked at the extremely dazzling Huo Mingzhu, and couldn't help but feel extremely proud, her young lady, this style can definitely overwhelm any concubine Concubine, even if the queen mother stood beside her, she didn't have enough posture.

No, Huo Mingzhu stood there silently, even if she didn't say anything, her arrogance could not be ignored.

It was because Empress Huo Mingzhu was too grand that she attracted a lot of red eyes.

At the banquet, Huo Mingzhu sat on the emperor's side, dignified and generous, Huo Huaiyu felt very uncomfortable watching, why Huo Mingzhu married the old emperor, and still looked so complacent, what could she be proud of.

But Huo Zhengde is quite proud, because he is the head of the country, so it is inevitable that some princes who are not in power will toast. If he can get his support, maybe he can overthrow the incompetent prince Baili Jingqi and replace him .

Moreover, this banquet was originally held for Huo Mingzhu. If everyone is more enthusiastic about the Huo family, it will not cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. Maybe they will like it. Moreover, there are not many such opportunities, so this scene can be imagined .

For Huo Mingzhu, it didn't matter, she just smiled and let Huo Zhengde be so beautiful, the so-called the higher the lift, the harder the fall.

If there is anything that attracted Huo Mingzhu's attention, it was Baili Jingqi. He seemed to be preoccupied, he was drinking hard, his face was flushed, and everyone didn't pay attention to this non-existent person. Silly prince.

Only Huo Mingzhu noticed, but so what if she noticed, there was no way to enlighten Baili Jingqi. Of course, even if there was a chance, Huo Mingzhu would not do more about it.

Besides, the banquet went smoothly, the meal was delicious, Huo Mingzhu felt good after eating, so she ate some more, which attracted the emperor's loving eyes, Huo Mingzhu almost gave up eating, it was too disgusting.

After the meal, the concubines wanted to express themselves, and by giving the emperor the opportunity to congratulate the dragon and Huo Mingzhu on their health and to not hinder Huo Mingzhu's phoenix, they began to show their skills one by one, hoping to attract the emperor's attention.

These concubines are also worried. It is said that the emperor's cold is quite dangerous this time. In their mind, if the emperor really dies, as concubines without heirs, they will only be buried with them.

Therefore, there are not a few people who want to take advantage of the emperor to be able to move for the time being, and want to have a final fight.

Just when everyone was enjoying the singing and dancing, a dozen masked men appeared out of nowhere, dressed in eunuch costumes, presumably they had been hidden in the dark for a long time, holding swords in their hands, The momentum of thunder rushed directly in the direction of the emperor.

The scene was suddenly chaotic, with screams and the sound of swords colliding, Huo Mingzhu quickly stood up, and turned the desk in front towards the masked man, and all the plates and dishes filled with dishes fell on one of them. The emperor recently got on the masked man.

The masked man was forced to take a few steps back, avoiding the obstacles Huo Mingzhu made for him.

Huo Mingzhu shouted: "Come here, escort."

However, it was useless for her to shout, the scene was too chaotic, the concubines and princesses ran around because of fear, hindering the steps of the guards to rescue him, even Huo Zhengde's generals or princes with martial arts skills were unable to use their fists, Moreover, there are some men in black standing behind, preventing others from going to rescue him.

Therefore, at the highest position, only Huo Mingzhu and the emperor stood together, facing the assassin who was wielding a sharp sword.

Huo Mingzhu had a lot of thoughts in her heart, whether to save the emperor, the final answer was to save him, at this moment, she hadn't made the arrangements yet, the emperor was still a very important pawn, so he couldn't die yet.

However, in the current situation, she has no weapon in her hand and what can she do to save her when she is unarmed.

The emperor's body, which had been seriously ill, was also a little injured, and his movements were much slower. Even with Huo Mingzhu protecting him, he staggered several times and almost fell down.

Huo Mingzhu saw that the emperor was so useless, but she had no choice but to shout: "Your Majesty, hurry up." Turning around, she was also trying to increase the chances for the emperor to escape, and shouted to the masked man: "Bold assassin, come on!" Dare to assassinate the emperor, do you want to die?"

When the assassin heard this, he burst out laughing, then he slashed at the two of them and said, "Young Empress is so naive, if I wanted to die, I wouldn't come to kill this dog emperor."

"Bold." Huo Mingzhu shouted, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the emperor retreating a lot, and she also retreated. She noticed that the masked man's martial arts were not very powerful, so she was very happy that she could save the emperor this time. sure.

However, Huo Mingzhu didn't expect that another masked man who was very close to them would also step back to help this masked man.

For a while, Huo Mingzhu had to deal with two people, so it seemed a bit difficult.

Just when Huo Mingzhu was about to lose her hold, the guards finally took down a few masked men and were about to rush over, but at this moment, one of the masked men stabbed at the emperor.

Huo Mingzhu went back and forth in her mind, finally gritted her teeth, and blocked the emperor with her body.

puff!

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the body, Huo Mingzhu only felt a sharp pain coming from her chest, she gasped, even though she had already calculated the position, she would not hit a vital point, but this one is really enough painful.

His feet were soft, and he was about to kneel down. The emperor took a quick step and caught Huo Mingzhu's body. At this time, the guards, Huo Zhengde and others had already cut a bloody path, rushed over, and surrounded Huo Mingzhu's body three or two times. Those two assassins lived, and the other assassins were probably dead at this time.

Seeing that they had failed, the two assassins glanced at each other. Before Huo Zhengde and the others had time to react, the two assassins fell to the ground and died.

"Queen!" The emperor's voice came, and everyone's attention shifted from the dead assassin to Huo Mingzhu's body. Among them, Baili Jingqi's gaze was the most eager. Mingzhu's chest was bleeding, his eyes were bloodshot and red, his hands clenched his fists tightly, his nails pierced into his palms, and he didn't even know he was bleeding.

But Baili Zonglu stared fiercely at the unconscious Huo Mingzhu. He hated her at the moment, and once again ruined his plan, so she had to die with her, so that he would not attack her. That decision was a bit difficult, thinking about it, Baili Zonglu's expression became ugly.

He really hates that someone can influence him.

Seeing Baili Zonglu with a bad face, Huo Huaiyu also felt uncomfortable for a while. She was already a member of Baili Zonglu, but since the banquet began, Baili Zonglu had never looked at her, but Huo Mingzhu, Baili Zonglu Li Zonglu's eyes were always on her.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu's body covered in blood at this moment, she felt a little more relaxed. She wished that Huo Mingzhu would just die like this. She would be a disaster if she was alive.

Sulu's whole body was cold, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I beg you, my servant, please save your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Sulu's words reminded the emperor, he shouted loudly: "Come here, tell the imperial doctor."

When Huo Mingzhu was sent to Yongning Palace, the sword on her chest hadn't been drawn out yet, the blood didn't flow as much as before, but her face was pale.

Physician Fang walked up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if the sword on the Queen's body is not pulled out as soon as possible, the Queen's life will be in danger. Please make a decision."

Because the wound was on the chest, ordinary people would not dare to pull out the sword, so the imperial doctor risked losing his head and came to ask the emperor to make a decision.

Baili Jingqi took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Father, the queen mother has done a great job in rescuing you, if the imperial doctor's negligence kills you..."

"What are you waiting for, draw your sword to save people!" The emperor yelled before Baili Jingqi finished speaking, and the imperial doctor hurriedly ran into the bedroom, ordering from time to time to cut some ginseng slices and boil hot water .

Baili Jingqi stood outside the hall with a pale face, the emperor was also very anxious, even the queen mother came over, seeing Baili Jingqi standing blankly outside the hall, the snowflakes were all over his face, After all, the queen mother knew that the prince was thinking, and she felt a pain in her heart at the moment, feeling distressed for this poor grandson.

When Baili Jingqi saw the queen mother coming, he greeted the queen mother: "Jingqi sees the queen mother."

"How is the queen?" After the matter of blocking the sword for the emperor just now, the queen mother's view of Huo Mingzhu has also changed a lot. Although she still doesn't like her very much, as a mother, the person who saved her son is the same as before. People who don't know should come and have a look.

"Life or death is uncertain." Baili Jingqi let out a faint breath.

The Empress Dowager was already in a bad mood, and felt unbearable after standing for a while, so she said to Baili Jingqi, "Prince, you are not in good health, go back."

"Jing Qi obeys." Baili Jing Qi said so, but his eyes were still looking at the Yongning Palace.

He didn't even notice when the Queen Mother left.
