"Su Mansion?" Xia Huanyu frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at Queen Hua aside. Seeing that Queen Hua was looking at the stage in front of her, she fell silent for a moment and asked softly: "There are still some things in Su Mansion now.
who?"
Li Qianmo responded quickly: "Su Qi still has several wives and concubines in the house, as well as several daughters-in-law and grandchildren."
"You order people to go and see what the casualties are." Xia Huanyu responded calmly. He turned his head and saw Yun Shang looking at her, so he paused briefly, and then turned his attention to
On the stage.
The beauties on the boat have already gracefully stepped onto the stage, each holding a pipa in their hands, dancing gracefully and playing the pipa at the same time. Their clothes are flying, and they are really beautiful.
After dancing the pipa song, Luo Qingyan stood up: "Today is the feast for the full moon of the children. I would like to thank you all for coming. I am here to propose three glasses of wine."
After three cups, Liu Wen'an took the imperial edict and stood aside with a smile, "Your Majesty has an edict."
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to listen to the decree. The decree was the same as what Xia Huanyu had said before. The prince's son would be named to inherit the industry, be granted the title of Prince of the County, and be given the title of Ming and Jin Dynasties.
As Yun Shang expected, as soon as this imperial edict came out, everyone present looked at each other, but they also hurriedly saluted.
Yun Shang smiled and asked Hua'er to prepare for the second performance. It was a play and the song was "Success or Failure Xiao He".
This play was added temporarily by Yun Shang's order just now. Yun Shang looked at the actors on the stage whose faces were so painted that they could not see their faces. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he turned to Queen Hua and said: "This play is
Chang'er has recently fallen in love with her, do you think it looks good, please?"
When Empress Hua heard this, she turned around and said with a smile: "It's a classic. Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails. But I don't know who is this Xiao He?"
Empress Hua naturally knew who Xiao He was. What she asked was who was the Xiao He sung in this play.
Yun Chang smiled lightly, but said something completely unrelated to this drama: "Shang'er heard a saying before that a famous family cannot flourish for more than three generations, but in our Xia Kingdom, there is an aristocratic family that has been favored for a long time. However,
When it comes to His Majesty's generation, things have gradually begun to decline. Although there are still people in the clan who hold high positions, they have not made much achievements in either civil or military affairs. But even so, the big family still favors them.
Bu Shao. Chang'er feels that the reason is probably because there is such a Xiao He in this family."
Xia Huanyu, who was watching the show, heard this and turned to look at Yun Shang, with some contemplation in his eyes.
Yun Shang smiled again, "I don't know if the fire in Su Mansion has been extinguished. It would be a pity to think about it if the hundreds of years of foundation were destroyed like this."
The play "Success or Failure Xiao He" was a bit long. Bao'er seemed to feel that it was a little noisy, and he started crying again. Yun Shang quickly picked up Bao'er, in order to avoid disturbing Xia Huanyu and Hua Hua.
The queen was so interested that she carried Bao'er to a nearby pavilion, walking back and forth and coaxing her softly.
"I am not as good as the queen, alas! I am old! Haha... I hope to finish this battle, become a peaceful emperor, and never fight another war!" On the stage, Liu Bang's voice sounded a little tired.
Lu Pheasant waved his hand and raised his voice slightly, full of determination: "For the sake of peace, never be merciful in the battles that should be fought; never leave behind any trouble for those who deserve to be killed!"
"Never leave any future troubles!" These words rang out like thunder on the ground, and then everyone on the shore saw the Lu Pheasant leaping up and flying straight in the direction of Yun Shang.
.
Because she was afraid that Bao'er's cry would disturb everyone, Yun Shang chose the pavilion some distance away from them. At this moment, Yun Shang was alone in the pavilion, holding Bao'er and coaxing her softly, as if she didn't feel the danger at all.
.
"Shang'er..." Empress Hua suddenly stood up and shouted sternly.
Yun Shang turned around, with a confused look in her eyes. The actor dressed as Lu Pheasant was already not far away from Yun Shang. He was holding two hairpins in his hands. The hairpins were pointed and flashed slightly in the sun.
light.
However, Yun Shang stood firm and did not move, and Luo Qingyan did not move either.
The hairpin stopped less than five inches away from Yun Shang. Yun Shang blinked and saw Lu Pheasant suddenly fell to the ground, with an unbelievable look in his eyes. There was a thin silver needle fixed on it.
It was inserted firmly between her eyebrows. If you didn't look carefully, you would not be able to see it. Everyone saw a drop of blood seeping out from the actor's eyebrows. Her eyes were still open, but there was no movement at all.
"Remove the makeup from her face and let everyone see who it is that assassinated the Crown Princess in the Prince's Mansion." Xia Huanyu's voice was cold.
Yun Shang lowered her head and looked at Bao'er in her arms, only to find that Bao'er was looking intently at the actor on the ground and had stopped crying.
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh, "You little guy, you are not afraid of anything. You will definitely be a little devil in the future, but what's wrong with you?"
The guard fetched water from the lake nearby and washed off the makeup on the actor's face. Under the thick paint, a face that was very familiar to everyone present was revealed.
"Emperor...Queen?" someone screamed.
Xia Huanyu glanced over coldly, and everyone quickly fell silent.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on that face, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth. The queen in their mouth was naturally not Queen Hua, but Su Ruji, who had been the queen for more than 20 years.
What was hidden under the actor's thick paint was Su Ruji's face.
Yun Shang curled up the corner of her mouth, looking at the surprised people in the distance, her voice was still very soft: "Succeed, Xiao He, lose, Xiao He, Xiao He..."
Luo Qingyan walked to Yun Shang and said softly: "Are you scared?"
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head, showing Bao'er in her arms to Luo Qingyan, "Uncle, look, our Bao'er was so fascinated by the show just now that he didn't even cry."
Luo Qingyan glanced at Bao'er, who was looking at Su Ruji intently, and then turned away: "Come here, pull this person down, assassinate the crown princess, and leave a corpse in the city gate for three days."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." A white-haired old man came out with a slight trembling and bowed to the ground: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you must not do this. Although Su Ruji is no longer the queen, she was the mother of a country after all. This matter has
If it is not appropriate, it may hurt the public sentiment of His Highness."
Yun Shang carefully searched for the identity of the old man in white in her mind. After thinking for a long time, she remembered that it was Han Mingqing, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
What Han Mingqing said was not unreasonable. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, only to see Luo Qingyan pursed her lips tightly, with a cold face, without any reaction. However, Xia Huanyu had already spoken: "Just do what His Highness the Crown Prince said.
Just go ahead and do it."
"Your Majesty..." Han Mingqing quickly bowed to Xia Huanyu three times, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xia Huanyu: "His Royal Highness, it makes sense for him to do this. Mr. Han will know later. Now,
You don’t need to persuade me any more.”
Yun Shang was a little curious. Xia Huanyu said that it was reasonable for Luo Qingyan to do this. He also said that he would know after a while. Could it be that Xia Huanyu and Luo Qingyan had already passed the Qi?
When Han Mingqing heard this, his white beard trembled slightly, and his body also trembled slightly, but in the end he did not speak again.
The guards dragged Su Ruji down, and Luo Qingyan hugged Yun Shang and returned to her position. After the incident just now, everyone's faces were pale and they seemed to be frightened. I am afraid that most of them wanted to leave the Prince's Mansion and go home immediately. But Xia Huanyu
Luo Qingyan hadn't spoken yet, so no one dared to move.
"What are you doing so quietly? Shouldn't the food be served when the opera is about to start?" Xia Huanyu's eyes were light and he tapped the table with his hand, his voice also very calm.
Yun Shang responded quickly and gestured towards the painting in the distance, and there was an actor standing on the water with a drum floating in the lake. The actor's feet kept jumping on the drum, and the drums sounded.
The momentum was magnificent, and then the group of actors stepped on the drums and sang, singing ancient blessing songs.
From the corner of her eyes, Yun Shang saw Li Qianmo walking towards them quickly.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has inquired. There are a total of 132 people in the Su Mansion today. Wei Chen found 146 corpses in the Su Mansion." Li Qianmo saluted quickly and said softly.
The voice was drowned out by the singer's singing. Xia Huanyu didn't react at all. Li Qianmo was about to repeat it again when he heard Xia Huanyu's voice: "Oh, where did the extra people come from?"
Li Qianmo said softly: "We are counting the corpses in the mansion, but because the fire was quite large, many of the corpses were burned beyond recognition and are almost difficult to identify."
"Forget it if you can't recognize him. It's not important either. There's no need for you to be busy, my dear. Just sit down and listen to the music and dance." Xia Huanyu's expression was as calm as ever.
Yun Shang frowned, feeling that Xia Huanyu seemed a little too calm today.
Li Qianmo seemed to be stunned, and did not answer for a long time. After coming to his senses, he quickly said, "Yes, I obey the order."
The actors danced and sang on the drums, but Yun Shang always felt that she heard something vaguely. It was not singing, it seemed to be coming from outside the house, but because the drums and singing were too loud, they were drowned out.
The singing gradually weakened, and Yun Shangfang heard the sound getting louder and louder. It turned out that it was not her imagination.
"Kill...Kill the Dog Emperor, enter the palace, leave no one alive!" The voice outside was very loud, and then came the echo, which was even more deafening. There was the faint sound of horse hooves, as if there were soldiers and horses heading towards the Prince's Mansion.
Coming under siege.
The voice was loud, Yun Shang heard it, and everyone else heard it very clearly. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Some people were screaming, some were running around, and some were shouting: "The rebels have entered the city.
