The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 190 Winning Favor (1)
"This time he also paid for it." After a long silence, Chu Xunyang finally smiled sarcastically.

"Based on his character, if he hadn't confirmed in advance that what Rong Yan was holding was the antidote - even if he himself was poisoned, he would never have taken it without asking someone to test it first." Yan Ling Jun said.

Before he got the antidote from Rong Yan, the emperor swallowed it without even thinking about it, and this alone was completely out of character for the emperor.

Chu Xunyang was a little resentful; "Fortunately, Old Chen was vigilant and sealed that old Kang's mouth in time, otherwise he would be so anxious to jump over the wall and shake out His Majesty's trump card. Today's state banquet is going to be a joke. .”

The whole incident was nothing more than a bitter scheme directed and acted by the emperor himself. Doctor Kang should be his internal agent, who was prepared to detoxify him and save his life in a calm manner. of?It's just that this move was disturbed by Lord Yanling's calmness, and the doctor Kang did indeed have selfish intentions and wanted to trample Lord Yanling to death and replace him.

The emperor's silent attitude at the banquet had already explained everything.

His own plan fell through, and he simply ignored the following matters, watching that doctor Kang seeks his own death, so that he could silence the disaster by the way.

The emperor's calculations and intentions really made people feel cold all over.

However, Mr. Yanling didn't feel much when he talked about these things, he paused for a moment, then changed his tone, and started to laugh, "Speaking of which, Tuoba Huai'an also went to the doctor in a hurry, and in order to protect himself, he actually relied on Chu Qiyan to get out of trouble The two of them clearly guessed his intentions from the emperor's actions in advance, but they just waited for him to make a move. Tuoba Huai'an came forward and pushed me out to be a scapegoat, and then the emperor testified against him. If the trick is lost, the emperor will lie at that time, so he must be courteous and appease him. If the king of Nanhe will stand up later, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not interrupt, I am afraid that he will have to propose another marriage, right?"

Chu Xunyang looked at him, "Yes, before Tuoba Huai'an, there was a precedent for Chu Lingyun to propose marriage in public. If the old matter is brought up again at this time, he has just been wronged. In order to reconcile the relationship between the two countries, whenever he speaks , even the Zhang family has nothing to say. But I guess——Chu Lingyun didn't know her father and younger brother's schemes. With her temperament, she would not marry to Mobei even if she was beaten to death. .”

"Now is not the time to worry about her." Lord Yanling was obviously not interested in this topic, he got up and straightened his robes, and said slowly, "I'm thinking now, if this matter can't be done, whether it's from His Majesty the Emperor Or Tuoba Huai'an and Chu Qiyan will definitely not let it go, guess what tricks they will make behind each other?"

This is what Chu Xunyang was really worried about. Hearing the words, he subconsciously frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a shrill scream from someone in the square in front of him.

The two followed the prestige, and saw that the square in front of Zhaode Hall was already in chaos, sparks were flying everywhere, and there were screaming and running figures everywhere.

The beautifully dressed young ladies of various families, the servants, maidservants, maidservants, were all in a mess and chaotic.

"I have to go and have a look!" Chu Xunyang said, raising his foot to go there.

"The scene there is chaotic, let's go later!" Lord Yanling didn't let her go, and clasped her wrist with his fingers through the sleeves. The force was completely an attitude that no one could refuse.

Chu Xunyang was dissatisfied, and frowned at him——

In the past, no one had ever restrained her like this. Under such circumstances, if it were Chu Qifeng, she would definitely not stop her, but went directly with her.

Lord Yanling stared at the distance slightly, but he didn't realize that he was disgusted because of his meddling. After a moment of silence, he heard him muttering to himself: "It may not be as simple as an accident."

As soon as the words finished, Chu Xunyang curled his lips as usual, and said sarcastically: "This is the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. Those court ladies and eunuchs don't want their heads? Where are there so many accidents all day long!"

The noise over there during the conversation has gradually weakened, and only the woman's sobbing can be heard occasionally.

Lord Yanling smiled, let go of her wrist and said, "You go first, it's not convenient for me to get involved in such matters!"

"En!" Chu Xunyang smiled at him without forcing it.

At that time, the chaotic scene in the square had been basically brought under control. The ground was in a mess, with bamboo tubes and firecrackers scattered everywhere. There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, sometimes mixed with a strange smell of burnt.

Chu Xunyang walked over quickly.

Empress Luo was already crowded with people. The chief eunuch who was in charge of watching the fireworks in the square and some older nuns knelt on the ground in fear.

Next to them were a few official ladies who described themselves as being helpless by girls, and the dresses and cloaks of several of them were scorched by sparks to create eye-catching holes. Even the pampered and pampered daughters were still quite frightened, their little faces turned pale, and they either lay down in their mother's arms, or hung in the arms of the maids, weeping in panic.

Two of them are the most serious. One is the girl in green clothes who stood next to Empress Luo and proposed to go down to play together, Luo Yuguan, the third lady of the Luo family, and the other is the lady of the Kong family, Minister of the Household Department.Both of their dresses were burnt, and even Luo Yuguan's hair was scorched a lot, his face was covered with ash, and there was an obvious scar on the back of his hand.

In this way, it can be regarded as a big mess.

The eunuch officer knelt in the cold wind rising from the ground, kowtowed and confessed in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it's my servant's negligence, this servant deserves to die!"

"How do you do things? The empress clearly told you to take care of the ladies, and you still make such a mess?" Concubine De pointed at the servant who was kneeling on the ground and cursed sharply, then changed her expression again. , turned to appease Empress Luo who was next to her, and said, "Your Majesty, there were so many people just now, it should be just an accident, even if these slaves are very brave, they would not dare to dereliction of duty face to face!"

Empress Luo is in charge of everything in the harem, but grand ceremonies like the state banquet on New Year's Eve are too ostentatious after all, and she has to allocate part of the affairs to let several high-ranking concubines in the palace take care of them together.

Coincidentally, the eunuch in charge here is the chief steward of Defei Palace, Jia Liu.

The women in this palace regard each other as natural enemies. Concubine De wants to calm down, but Concubine Qing immediately stood up and said, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "Sister De Concubine, what are you talking about? All these young ladies present are heroes. Your family members, now that they have been wronged, you don’t want to appease them, but instead you can’t wait to excuse a few servants? You don’t think so, do you want the empress to gain a poor reputation like you?”
