Delicious delicacies were served one after another, and the maids in charge of the performances changed one after another, pushing the banquet to one climax after another. Yun Jingchu watched it with gusto.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good. Something happened to the beautiful lady." At this moment, a little eunuch ran in crawling on the ground.
Before he finished speaking, the hall fell into an eerie silence. The sound of silk and bamboo also stopped. The dancing palace maid also stopped moving. Everyone looked at the little eunuch dumbfounded.
"...What did you say? Tell me again?" Ao Xingdi's expression changed and he said sternly.
"...I'm reporting to your Majesty that Jade Beauty has been murdered." The little eunuch lay on the ground and cried with a trembling voice.
Hearing this, everyone held their breath.
This is incredible. How could the beauty who was dancing here just now be killed in the blink of an eye?
Emperor Ao Xing was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked: "...who is the murderer?"
"Slave...slave...I dare not say it." The little eunuch lay on the ground and said tremblingly.
"I ask you again, who is it? If you hesitate again, I will kill you!" Ao Xingdi's face was ashen as frightening, and his words were as cold as frozen ice beads.
"Yes... yes... the eldest... eldest prince." The little eunuch said an earth-shattering answer tremblingly.
Suddenly, the entire hall seemed to be deserted and empty. Everyone was watching their noses and hearts, not daring to make the slightest sound, and even their sense of presence was minimized.
On the throne, Emperor Ao Xing's livid face turned into jet black inch by inch, and he looked like a storm was about to come...
"...Okay, very good..." After a long while, Ao Xingdi sneered and said, and at the same time he suddenly stood up and swept the things on the table to the ground with a crash, "This beast! I will definitely cut him into pieces."
After saying that, Emperor Aoxing strode down from the throne, kicked the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and said sternly: "Lead the way for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The young eunuch, General Zhao, responded, got up a little embarrassed, bowed and led Emperor Ao Xing out of the hall.
The chief eunuch and a group of young eunuchs serving Emperor Ao Xing quickly followed.
As soon as the emperor left, the palace was full of civil and military officials, queens, concubines, princes and princesses, all looking at each other in confusion. As courtiers, they should stay away from anything they shouldn't know. Although they were very curious, they couldn't follow to see what was going on.
"This must be a misunderstanding. Sisters, please follow me and have a look." Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Yue stood up and strode out with an anxious look on his face.
More than a dozen concubines got up and followed the queen out.
Soon, Xuanyuan Lin also stood up, coughing and saying: "Let's go and take a look. My father is very angry now. We have to persuade him to make sure nothing happens to our brother."
After saying that, he left with a group of princes.
Yun Jingchu's eyes flashed, and then he winked at Dao and Baili Wushang, then stood up and chased Ao Xingdi and his party to the palace next to them.
Anran Palace is located near the Huayi Hall, the banquet venue, and is usually used to give drunken people a temporary rest.
Emperor Ao Xing followed the young eunuch all the way into Anran Palace, and then went to the place where the female guests rested.
From a distance, they saw many people gathered in front of a room, making low noises. Needless to say, that was probably the room where the incident occurred.
