Liu Ruyan took a sip of the wine in the glass and took in the scene from the corner of her eye. It was not that she didn't notice that the prince seemed to pay special attention to the maid. He held the wine glass tightly with his hand, but his face remained silent.
He put down the wine glass and covered everything with a faint smile.
"Tonight, I have something important to announce." Yu Wenrui's rich voice suddenly silenced the originally bustling ceremony.
Yu Wenrui glanced at Eunuch Xu behind him. Eunuch Xu carefully held the imperial edict and walked to the front, slowly opening the bright yellow imperial edict: "By God, the emperor decreed: Fang Rouhui has always been virtuous since she entered the palace.
Shude, dignified and knowledgeable, is a role model for everyone in the harem. I specially decree to confer you the title of imperial concubine. I appreciate this!"
After saying that, everyone present finally understood the highlight of today's banquet, but they were all extremely surprised. The emperor actually wanted to designate Concubine Hui as the imperial concubine. After all, he had just re-made the former imperial concubine Situ Yan the empress. Now for Hui
Does conferring such a title on Concubine mean that Concubine Hui has a different weight in the emperor's heart?
Eunuch Xu closed the imperial edict and said respectfully to Concubine Hui: "The Imperial Concubine, please accept the edict. I congratulate the Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Hui looked at Yuwenrui with her beautiful eyes, nodded gratefully, then stood up gracefully, took Eunuch Xu's imperial edict with both hands, and then faced Yuwenrui, leaning forward and saying softly: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness."
.”
Sure enough, as she thought, Yu Wenrui made Concubine Hui the imperial concubine. A smile appeared on Yun Jingchu's lips, and her eyes fell on Situ Yan. Her beautiful face froze slightly and her little hands tightened.
She tugged at her clothes tightly, but soon returned to her dignified and elegant expression, looking as majestic as ever.
Concubine Hui walked up to the top and sat elegantly next to Yu Wenrui. When Yun Jingchu saw Concubine Hui raising her hand slightly, she quickly walked towards the stairs above, preparing to receive the imperial decree for Concubine Hui.
Soon, congratulatory voices came from all around: "Congratulations to Concubine Hui for becoming the imperial concubine."
"The prime minister is really enviable to have such a daughter." Many people began to fawn over Fang Shijing, who was already the prime minister.
Just when everyone was congratulating Concubine Hui and the Prime Minister, no one thought that what happened next would be even more chaotic and shocking.
Just when Yun Jingchu took over the imperial edict from Concubine Hui and was about to walk down the stairs, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of her eye. The figure was wearing a palace maid's uniform and holding a golden teapot. She was slowly walking towards the host and guest seats. She should be pouring tea.
The maid came to give Situ Yan tea. After all, she was pregnant now and couldn't get drunk, so she naturally had to drink tea instead of wine.
However, for some reason, Yun Jingchu felt uneasy in her heart. Soon, she knew where this uneasiness came from.
Under the refraction of the light and the ground, from Yun Jingchu's angle, he could just see a faint cold light on the wrist of the teapot dragged by the palace maid——
Yun Jingchu's heart couldn't help but tremble, but she continued to walk down without any emotion on her face. However, her whole body immediately became more vigilant, and she secretly thought in her heart, who is this palace maid? Who is she trying to assassinate? Could it be Yu Wenrui?
?
I saw that the palace maid had already walked in front of Situ Yan, her cloud sleeves suddenly flipped up, and her figure flew upwards like catkins, flying towards Situ Yan with extremely fierce momentum and very fast speed. In an instant, a cold light flashed out.
With lightning speed, he stabbed Situ Yan in the stomach again and again——
Yu Wenrui half-squinted his dark eyes, with a hint of coldness flashing in them, and the corners of his lips tightened into a cold smile. In an instant, his body was like the wind, and he waved his big sleeves casually, and his tall body blocked Situ Yan.
In front of him, he quickly stretched out his arms to hug Situ Yan, twisting his body as fast as the wind, and dodged the incoming sword tip, and moved Situ Yan in his arms without any effort to destroy it.
Safe location.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but panic, and the imperial guards also rushed into the door one after another. Yun Jingchu's eyes were still on the maid, and she was thinking in her heart, wondering why the maid wanted to assassinate Situ Yan, and suddenly looked at
Seeing the direction the palace maid was walking in front of me, I couldn't help but be shocked. No, the person she wanted to kill was not Situ Yan, but Concubine Hui!
The palace maid failed to hit the target. She did not show any disappointment because of the failure, nor was she frightened by the appearance of the guards. Instead, her eyes became more sinister, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The sharp knife in her hand was not withdrawn.
, but turned around and came straight towards Concubine Hui on the side!
Yun Jingchu looked coldly at the menacing attack, and the bright light illuminated the palace maid's hateful eyes. At this moment, her heart was as clear as clear lake water, and she quickly weighed the pros and cons.
This palace maid wants to kill not Yu Wenrui or Situ Yan, but Concubine Hui...
I have to say, it's a great way to attack the east and the west with one move. With so many strong martial arts people present today, the possibility of her trying to kill Concubine Hui directly is very slim. She might be captured before she succeeds, so she is the first to do so.
Targeting Situ Yan to distract everyone, and when everyone stepped forward to escort Concubine Wu, they took the opportunity to shift to the real target.
Concubine Hui was obviously frightened at this time. Her whole body was too weak to move. She was so frightened that she didn't remember to dodge. She was a woman who didn't know martial arts at all, so the tip of the knife would definitely pierce her heart. One blow would kill her, and she would definitely die.
.
No, Concubine Hui finally became the imperial concubine. She must not let Concubine Hui get into trouble. She thought that Yun Jingchu, who knew no martial arts, really couldn't care about so much, so she turned around and quickly moved in the direction of Concubine Hui.
She ran over and pulled Concubine Hui away. She was about to dodge, but found that the sharp knife was gradually approaching her, leaving her with no chance to dodge.
However, at this critical moment, before she could take action, a strong force pulled her away and spun her around in a circle. Then, Yun Jingchu clearly heard the tip of the knife piercing her flesh and blood.
the sound in.
At the critical moment, Yu Wenyi pulled her into his arms, spun around, and used his body to block the sharp knife that was attacking with all its strength.
The sharp knife stabbed into Yuwen Yi's back without any bias, and the pain made him frown his beautiful eyebrows. He endured the pain, and the first thing he said was to ask the person in his arms.
"Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Listening to these words, Yun Jingchu couldn't help but feel as if she had been slapped hard by something, and her body was still frozen in place. Before Yu Wenyi said to protect herself, she just laughed it off, but she just laughed it off.
She never thought that tonight he would really protect her and protect her tightly. Listening to the disordered breathing coming from above her head, she really didn't know whether to call him stupid or crazy. Well, she
It is really possible to forget that he is a fool to begin with, but why would a prince like him get hurt trying to protect her, a slave?
Yun Jingchu quickly turned around to support the injured Yu Wenyi, and looked at the shocking wounds on her back. It seemed that this palace maid must have great hatred. Otherwise, with the skill of a woman, she would not have stabbed the entire dagger. **, the blood from that wound had already begun to flow out continuously, seeping into his clothes. When she looked at his face that turned white at that moment, her heart seemed to be twisted...
"Does it hurt?" Yun Jingchu's voice was very soft, softer than ever before, but it was more concerned.
"It doesn't hurt, as long as my sister is fine." Yu Wenyi's voice was almost weak, but the corners of his mouth still evoked his usual innocent smile, making Yun Jingchu see that she was fine, and in his In my heart, as long as my sister is fine, it doesn't matter if she is in pain.
Fool, why are you doing this? You are so stupid!
Yun Jingchu kept cursing the man in front of her in her heart, but she never said it out loud. She was actually moved in her heart. She never thought that someone would risk his life to save her.
In fact, the stupidest person is you, Shen Tianjiao. Why didn't you see clearly before, who is the person who is really good to you? That's why you harmed yourself, the Shen family, and the emperor... Only then did the current cause and effect occur.
Thinking of this, Yun Jingchu's eyes filled with mist, and she immediately shouted to Eunuch Xu who was not far away: "Eunuch Xu, hurry, call the imperial doctor, hurry!"
When Yu Wenyi saw her appearance, his clear eyes were full of affection, and he said innocently: "Sister, don't worry, I'm really fine, I just have some pain, and it will stop hurting after a while..." In fact, he His idea was very simple. At that critical moment just now, the only thing he thought about was not to let anything happen to his sister. Even if he was in a hurry and had no time to escape, he would use his own body to block her. Butler Han told him that men To protect the woman he likes, he must tell himself that he must protect his sister and just see that she is safe.
Yu Wenrui stood quietly aside, shocked by the subtle emotions between the two. His face was extremely deep, and his heart became heavier and heavier. An inexplicable feeling suddenly surged into his heart. He couldn't express this feeling, but he could He clearly knew that this feeling made him very uncomfortable...
At this moment, Yu Wenxuan's face darkened, he turned his hand and released his palm, condensing the strongest palm wind and attacking towards the palace maid. The palace maid used all her skills to dodge, but she still couldn't withstand Yu Wenxuan's strong internal strength. She didn't dare to underestimate him at the moment. He looked at her and was about to escape when Yu Wenxuan struck with lightning speed. The palace maid vomited blood and collapsed to the ground. The guards in the main hall immediately stepped forward to capture the palace maid and brought her to the emperor.
On the side, Yuwen Tuo's expression remained unchanged. He slowly picked up the blue and white porcelain cup with his big hand. It was just an outsider watching all this with cold eyes. However, the blue and white porcelain cup always stayed in the air and never took a sip.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Yuwen Tuo without leaving a trace, then turned her gaze to Yun Jingchu, seeming to be exploring something...
It seems that this palace maid is really not simple!
At this time, looking at the escorted palace maid, Yu Wenrui was furious, his handsome face was covered with blue frost, and he said arrogantly and restrainedly, "Who are you? How dare you assassinate the imperial concubine?"
