Chapter 142 The Assassin on New Year's Eve
Normally Xiao Chuyi would never say such things, but when he is drunk, his mind is so clear, and he utters the truth after drinking, which quickly reveals his usual concealed heart.
Xiao Chuyi not only hugged him, but also reached out to cover Ling Qingshi's eyes, preventing him from looking at other people.
The two of them hugged each other, stretched and covered their eyes, which was not attractive.
Concubine Li, who was closest to Xiao Jingheng, couldn't help but chuckled when she saw this scene, and Xiao Jingheng naturally understood when she smiled.Seeing Xiao Chuyi hugging people tightly, displaying a strong possessive desire, and Ling Qingshi's expression of helplessness but unwillingness to push him away, apart from being a little out of place, it actually made people think Kind of envious.
"Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang are very affectionate," Xiao Jingheng said, looking at the two of them.
Concubine Li quickly answered the question, "That's right, Uncle Huang seems to have drunk too much. Only the reaction of this person after drinking too much can tell whether a person has sincerity for another person."
Concubine Li was also envious, but at the same time, she knew that she might have been begging for such a love in her whole life. After entering the palace, her husband would not belong to her alone. It would be a great blessing to get some love. , How dare you expect anything else.
What's more, Concubine Li glanced sideways at the emperor next to her, and this one didn't have the same heart. After more than a year, Concubine Li figured it out that their emperor had no women at all in his heart, let alone love for children.
Below, Ling Qingshi knew that the emperor and many people were looking at them, so he didn't feel shy, but worried that Xiao Chuyi would become angry when he woke up and found that he had lost all his face.
He poked Xiao Chuyi's mask, "My lord, although you are wearing a mask and others can't see the expression on your face, you can hear those rumors after you wake up. Why don't you be laughed at later?" Come on, wake up?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chuyi looked around, a little displeased, but because he was not completely drunk, he still had a bit of reason, so he only asked Ling Qingshi, "Do you still want to see them?"
Ling Qingshi immediately showed a smiling face, and whispered to him, "They are not as good-looking as you. If I want to see, I only look at my prince. When I go back, I will wait for you to take off the mask and let me see enough."
"Okay!" Xiao Chuyi responded readily, and stopped covering Ling Qingshi's eyes, but he didn't move his hands away, still holding Ling Qingshi halfway.Ling Qingshi asked for some tea for him to drink, and let him eat some snacks, anyway, alcohol is not allowed.
This family banquet was said to be a family banquet, but in fact, everyone was at odds with each other. The rest of the royal family all stayed in their positions as transparent people, eating and drinking, with a very low sense of existence.
And the queen mother also made a superficial effort, and left without showing her face. Only a group of concubines who wanted to seduce Xiao Jingheng worked hard, and this banquet was very boring anyway.
It was almost time to sit down, Ling Qingshi wanted to get up and leave on the grounds that Xiao Chuyi was drunk, Xiao Jingheng still wanted to keep people and let them spend the night in the palace before leaving, Ling Qingshi did not agree, one is against the rules , although he did not observe any rules.The second is that he is worried that something will happen if he sleeps for one night. He is not at ease when he sleeps in this palace.
Just as they were leaving, Ling Qingshi noticed a gleam of light, like a reflection in a mirror, but he soon realized that it was not a mirror, but a knife.
Ling Qingshi was about to find the source, when he saw a dancing woman holding a dagger and flying towards Xiao Jingheng. Before Ling Qingshi could remind him, another woman was holding a dagger and flying towards Xiao Chuyi.
Ling Qingshi's eyes suddenly turned cold, he raised his foot and kicked, and above, Zhou Qi was already calling for someone to escort him.
The guards rushed in quickly, and all the dancers in this group were assassins, and they all had good skills, killing many people in a row.
Ling Qingshi had to protect Xiao Chuyi, and there were three people around him to deal with him, plus there were so many people in the house, it was more difficult for him to deal with those killers outside than before.
Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. An Yi, who was waiting outside, came in quickly when he heard the voice, "Princess, take the prince and leave quickly. Just leave this place to me."
Ling Qingshi didn't hesitate, the main reason was that Xiao Chuyi was heavy and he was not very sober, so it was difficult for him to take people with him.Besides, there were many guards and An Yi was there, so he wasn't worried that these assassins would succeed.
Out of the main hall, a gust of cold wind hit, Ling Qing shivered subconsciously, Xiao Chuyi was also sobered up by the cold wind, he heard the movement in the main hall, and asked, "What happened?"
Ling Qingshi said: "A group of dancers dressed as killers came here, and their skills are not bad. They are fighting inside."
"En," Xiao Chuyi replied, then shook his head, wanting to be more sober.
Ling Qingshi felt something was wrong, "How much did you drink today? You're already drunk."
Ling Qingshi didn't participate in the courtiers' banquet in the first half, so he didn't know how much he drank, but he could see the amount when he came here, except for Xiao Jingheng, who drank with the elders of the royal family After drinking two glasses, Ling Qingshi felt that Xiao Chuyi would not get drunk according to his drinking capacity.
"There are quite a lot, but something is wrong," Xiao Chuyi's tone was a little vague, and he stretched out his hand to pull his clothes, he felt a little hot.
This reaction is obviously a trick. For the time being, I don't know how or who did it, but Ling Qingshi is very unhappy.
With a cold look in his eyes, he pulled Xiao Chuyi and continued to walk forward, "Go back and see the doctor first, if you dare to do other things, then no one will think about it this year."
The palace doesn't need them now, Xiao Chuyi nodded and followed Ling Qingshi away.
They just arrived at the gate of the palace when An Yi caught up and went back to the palace with them.
Lu Anyi told them about the situation in the hall, "The emperor originally let them live, but these are dead men with poison in their mouths, and they bit the poison and committed suicide on the spot as soon as they were caught."
"The emperor was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. In addition to some dead guards, two concubines were also injured. One of them protected the emperor from a hidden weapon. The hidden weapon was coated with poison and may be life-threatening. "
"Did you ask us?" Ling Qingshi asked, they left first, they were so flustered at that time, Xiao Jingheng probably didn't notice that they left first.
An Yi: "This subordinate explained to the emperor that the prince was drunk, and the princess took him away for the sake of his safety. The emperor didn't say anything."
Ling Qingshi nodded, and then asked Xiao Chuyi, "Who do you think this is aimed at?"
If you do it at this time, you obviously know that it is impossible to hurt Xiao Jingheng, or even if you do, it is not a big deal, unless his life is in danger and he is about to die, otherwise it will only cause trouble for himself. After all, Xiao Jingheng wants to investigate thoroughly, whether it is Whoever instigated it will peel off the skin.
But if it is aimed at Xiao Chuyi, except for Jiu and the few people who came to kill him, no one chased them out of the main hall, and it didn't look like they were going to kill him, which is very confusing .
