Reborn from the ashes: Deadly Concubine

Chapter 246 Women's War: Hongmen Banquet

Zhuo Zhuo stood up all of a sudden, his face as white as paper: "What are you talking about? How could General Xuanyuan not be in the capital?"

Wen Sheng was also very anxious, talking like a peacock: "Originally he was in the capital, but as soon as possible after the end of the court, he went to the military camp outside the city, and he will not be back until ten days later."

Zhuo Zhuo covered his chest with his hands, his eyes wandered around, turning quickly as if she was thinking about countermeasures at the moment.Never expected that Xuanyuan Ji would go out of the city at this time, only he would risk offending the queen to help her... It should be said that only he would help her without asking.

Lulu was also anxious, and suddenly slammed his hands and said, "Didn't General Xuanyuan just leave the city this morning? Send someone to chase him now, can he catch up at the banquet tonight?"

Wen Sheng stretched out his hand and knocked her on the head: "You idiot, what time is it now? Seeing that it's the time of You, do you think you can catch it back? Besides, even if you catch it back, what help can you do? You were supposed to go to the barracks. Is it reasonable for the general to appear at the Queen Mother's banquet with his guards?"

Ding Ling managed to coax Jier well, and then frowned and said, "Zhuo Zhuo, this matter is no small matter. If the queen mother wants to harm you, but you have no choice but to go to the banquet."

Wen Sheng also kept nodding his head and said, "That's right, sister Zhuo Zhuo, don't go, or you'll pretend to be sick and say you're not feeling well."

Zhuo Zhuo shook her head, she couldn't think of a way, but she also understood that when she couldn't help herself: "If the Queen and Zhen Ye intend to kill me at this banquet, they must have made a complete plan to prevent me from going , whether I pretend to be sick or dead, they must have a way to get me away."

Ding Ling patted Jier on the back, looked at Zhuo Zhuo and said, "Otherwise, you can tell the Second Highness. Now you don't care what he thinks, the important thing is to live through today."

Zhuo Zhuo clenched his fists, his eyebrows piled up like a hill, and his body trembled slightly from time to time.She is not reconciled, but there is no other way.Only Han Yingxi can save her, and she can only rely on him.

"Win Sheng..."

Just as Zhuo Zhuo was about to say something, he heard Zhen Ye's laughter not far away.Zhuo Zhuo and the others looked outside the pillar platform, and Zhen Ye had already led a group of maids to the bottom of the steps and was walking up.

Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly turned his head and whispered to Wen Sheng: "Hurry up and find a way to inform the Second Highness, and say that the queen sent me to the banquet because I wanted to kill me, and asked him to save me."

It is enough to just say these things, Han Yingxi is a smart person, although he will have doubts, but he will not take risks.He will go, and he will also think of a comprehensive countermeasure.

At this time Zhen Ye had already come up, everyone saluted, then Zhuo Zhuo Chao Wensheng gave Wensheng a wink, Wensheng nodded, and ran away in a hurry.Zhen Ye glanced at Wen Sheng who left, and then smiled at Zhuo Zhuo: "Oh, Zhuo Zhuo, why haven't you cleaned up yet? You can't look like this, so at least dress up. Come, let me help you."

Zhen Ye held Zhuo Zhuo's hand and walked towards the bedroom, Zhuo Zhuo turned to look at Ding Ling again, she nodded and left with Ji'er in her arms.

Walking into the dormitory, Lulu brought the clothes for the banquet to pack, and helped Zhuo Zhuo change into a dress. After combing her hair, Zhen Ye personally picked up the armband and put it on for Zhuo Zhuo.He just pushed it to her arm, but didn't put it on right away. Instead, he touched the slave's mark with his fingers, and asked with a frown, "It's really scary, did it hurt at that time?"

Zhuo Zhuo sneered in his heart, isn't this nonsense?Being branded alive, how could it not hurt?You really took every opportunity to humiliate me.

"I don't remember, it must have hurt."

Zhuo Zhuo replied as if nothing had happened, Zhen Ye chuckled lightly and pushed the armband up.With a little dressing up, Zhuo Zhuo is already so glamorous.And what about Zhenye?Even though she was dressed in jewels, she couldn't even keep up with Zhuo Zhuo's toes. She looked at Zhuo Zhuo smiling, how jealous must she be?
The two of them rode in two carriages, which made Zhuo Zhuo breathe a sigh of relief.Opening the curtain of the carriage, the streets were still bustling in the evening, because the carriage of the second princess drove by, and the people along the way knelt down to salute. In this hierarchical society, the distinction between superiority and inferiority has been carved into everyone's bones.

Zhuo Zhuo put down the curtain and leaned gently on the carriage. She is a different kind, because in her previous life she saw through the face of the so-called most honorable person, and in this life she fell in love with the same most honorable person, so she disdains the powerful and hates the difference. Will make those earth-shattering moves.But how can she change the world as a woman?If it wasn't for a man who loved her deeply to protect her, she would have died hundreds of times.

Every time I think about it, I feel sad.

Arriving at the palace, Zhuo Zhuo got out of the car and obediently followed Zhen Ye, but he was silently saying someone's name in his heart.She believed that as long as Wen Sheng brought the news to Han Yingxi, he would definitely protect her.So tonight, nothing will happen, at least there will be no fear of life.

"Zhuo Zhuo, let's go, don't let the queen mother wait."

She was already very familiar with the road to the palace, but walking here tonight felt like she was in a strange environment, not knowing what was waiting for her ahead.

Arriving at the queen's bedroom, Zhuo Zhuo quickly sensed a strong murderous aura around him, but on the surface, he could no longer see anyone with a murderous aura except the guarding soldiers.So all these murderous auras were ambushed, and Zhuo Zhuo knew who their target was.

Yingxi, come and save me.

Walking up the steps, there were already three women kneeling on the cushions.They are all wives of nobles. Seeing Zhen Ye hurriedly got up to salute, Zhen Ye responded to the greeting with a noble and generous gesture, then turned around and smiled at Zhuo Zhuo: "Ms. Zhuo Zhuo, salute the ladies."

Needless to say, Zhen Ye would do the same, but Zhen Ye deliberately said so, showing the gap between her and her.On the surface, Zhen Ye pretended to be close to her, but in fact, she couldn't do it well, and she had to squeeze her out and ridicule her from time to time.

Zhuo Zhuo didn't change his face, and performed a standard court ceremony. One of the wives smacked his lips and said, "Oh, I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it. You are a famous person next to the Second Highness, we dare not accept your gift."

The other followed up and said: "You are so beautiful, so beautiful, can't you really be a fairy like the legend?"

The third sneered: "What else can it be if it's not a goblin? Would a normal woman do such vicious and seductive things?"

Zhuo Zhuo knew that there were all kinds of rumors about her being outside, but as a nobleman, at least he shouldn't be as straightforward as the people in the market to ridicule her.Zhuo Zhuo laughed secretly in his heart, this probably angered her, their purpose should be to give the people who are ambushing around a reason to kill her.

Before the show started, I couldn't wait to pull the curtain. These people are really impatient!
"The queen is here."

Following the female officer's voice, the queen came out of the dormitory, and several people stood up again. The queen smiled and signaled everyone to excuse herself, and then she sat on the mat near the door of the dormitory in the north.

Today's banquet was held on the pillar platform of the queen's bedchamber. It was said to be a banquet, that is, several women sat together to eat and talk.Zhuo Zhuo was sitting next to Zhen Ye, facing the three women, so she approached the pillar, and glanced outside from time to time, hoping to see Han Yingxi appear.

"Zhuo Zhuo, you are so beautiful tonight, I should say you are always so beautiful. How is Jill?"

The Queen's hypocritical greeting brought Zhuo Zhuo back to her thoughts, she smiled at the Queen, and said respectfully: "Thank you Queen for your compliment, Jier is very good."

A woman on the opposite side snorted: "A humble woman cares so much about the child, the queen is really kind."

The woman next to her continued: "Who says it's not? It stands to reason that the child shouldn't have been born. Isn't it the king's queen's favor?"

The third one followed closely to make up for her seat: "But she is quite beautiful herself, she doesn't know her status at all, it's really an eyesore."

"Oh, if it turns into a goblin, don't you have to get rid of it quickly? And that child, who is also a goblin, has to be killed too."

The three women talked more and more, but neither the hypocritical queen nor the noble Zhen Ye said a word.Zhuo Zhuoming knew that these people were trying to annoy her, but she was really angry because these people not only satirized her, but also insulted her daughter.

The little hands on the skirt were tightly held, unable to attack, no matter what they said, they could not attack.Maybe her counterattack is the signal for those people to attack, Han Yingxi hasn't come yet, she has to bear it.As long as the queen doesn't know how to kill her, she has to bear it.

Zhuo Zhuo thought this way, and his eyes couldn't help looking outside again.Han Yingxi, where did you go?Why not come!Could it be that Wen Sheng failed to pass on the news to him?No, it is a matter of life and death, Wen Sheng will not miss.But... what if?
What should she do if it happens?
"Zhuo Zhuo, what are you looking at?"

The queen spoke suddenly again, and everything was quiet.Zhuo Zhuo turned his head to look at her, his modest smile just now was mixed with ice, which made people feel shuddering.Seeing that the ridicule of the three women is not working, is the queen going to use her trump card?
"I just looked at the scenery outside. The scenery in front of the Queen's bedroom is really beautiful."

"Compared with the scenery, what you want to see is Han Yingxi?"

coming.

"Since the queen knows, she should know that tonight's plan will not succeed."

The queen chuckled a few times, and looked at Zhuo Zhuo again, already becoming a little ferocious: "You want to see Han Yingxi, but I want to see my clear stream even more. But I can't see it when I open my eyes, only You can only see it in a dream when you close your eyes. He is covered in blood, crying to me. He was killed by his own brother, and the culprit is you, a goblin! Ever since you appeared, Yingxi has changed, and you bewitched him , provoked the brotherhood between him and Qing Jian, and finally killed my Qing Jian!"

To be able to figure it out so quickly, I really convinced this woman.I thought you could at least act in a play, but I didn't expect you to show your true colors so quickly.Since you think I'm already in your pocket, why waste so much time?

Zhuo Zhuo glanced at Zhen Ye who was beside her, but she never spoke or looked at anyone.Could it be that this wasn't the original plan, but the queen was too restless?
