Seeing that there was a way out, Xiao Lezi immediately became energetic again, touched her with his elbow, and urged: "Then tell me quickly."
Cabbage had no choice but to slowly tell what happened that night...
There was another drought in the Qingzhou area. The emperor sympathized with the suffering of the people and decided to lead all civil and military officials to the ancestral temple to worship heaven and pray for rain.
It is said that the weather was really good that day, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. Although the temperature was a bit high, the emperor still wore a thick dragon robe and walked up the steps step by step with the support of the flower eunuch.
The altar was built on the top of a mountain, and the ground was covered with marble bricks. In the middle was a huge bronze tripod, with complex patterns and strange ancient characters carved on its surface.
Legend has it that this bronze tripod was a treasure left in the world when the gods flew into the sky. As long as it exists, it can ensure the peace of the country and the people, and the peace of the world.
Behind the tripod is the ancestral temple, which is majestic and magnificent, with a royal aura.
The emperor held up the incense in his hand and said a lot of words describing the hardships of the people to the bronze tripod. Then he knelt down and sincerely prayed to God for some rain and for the people of the world to live in peace.
As a result, Yu was not summoned, but instead a group of black-clad assassins were summoned.
There was chaos at the scene. Eunuch Hua was the closest to the emperor. He hurriedly protected the emperor behind him and shouted: "There is an assassin, protect him! Hurry and protect him!"
It was a good thing that he didn't shout. This shout immediately attracted the attention of the assassins. The emperor in a golden dragon robe stood out among the crowd. Unsurprisingly, he became a live target. At this moment, everyone rushed towards him with their swords in hand.
In the flash of swords and shadows, the emperor was stabbed.
The panic scene passed quickly. Most of the assassins were killed, and the two remaining survivors swallowed poison and committed suicide before they were caught.
There was no evidence of death, and the assassination immediately became very difficult.
The prince hurriedly sent the emperor back to the palace for treatment, and then sent people to seal the city gate, vowing to find out who was behind the assassin.
The more Cabbage talked, the more immersed he became. When describing the scene of the emperor's assassination, he wanted to add all the adjectives he had learned all his life, and he was so slobbering: "At that time, there was a flash of swords, the scene was chaotic, and the assassins were all vicious and killed everyone they saw.
, the sword rises and falls with his hand, just like that evil ghost, with one strike, blood and flesh fly everywhere, it is truly a killing without batting an eyelid!"
Xiao Lezi treated it as if she was listening to the story and listened with great interest. After she finished speaking, Xiao Lezi asked: "You can tell it in such detail. Could it be that you have seen it with your own eyes?"
Cabbage immediately touched her nose and said with a smile: "I am only a little palace maid, so I am qualified to participate in such an important event as offering sacrifices to heaven. This is what I heard from others, and I don't know whether it is true or not."
Xiao Lezi couldn't help laughing, pushed a plate of white jade cake in front of her and said, "Take it and eat it."
Kale loves sweets the most and immediately smiled happily: "Thank you!"
Xiao Lezi asked again: "How is His Majesty's injury now?"
"I heard that everyone from the Taiyuan Hospital was called to the Jinhua Palace to treat His Majesty's injuries. It has been three days and they haven't come out yet." Cabbage kept staring at the white jade cake, thinking of its soft and delicate texture, she
I couldn't help but swallow secretly, "The news about His Majesty's injury has been blocked. Apart from the imperial doctors, only the Crown Prince and a few princes know about it. How can we servants know such an important thing?"
Seeing that her eyes were almost straight, Xiao Lezi couldn't bear to tease her any more. He got up and walked to the bed: "I'm sleepy, please get out of here."
"Well," Cabbage quickly cleared away the dishes on the table and stumbled away with the white jade cake.
Xiao Lezi was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, shaking and shaking.
The emperor was injured, and now his life or death is uncertain. He will definitely not be able to help her get out of the palace. This way out is temporarily blocked.
She was a little disappointed.
But having said that, the emperor was pretty good to her. He knew that she was disguised as a man, but instead of beheading her, he even went to great lengths to help her leave the palace.
Xiao Lezi clasped his hands together and prayed sincerely: "Buddha, I must bless your Majesty in safety, Ami Tofu."
Xiao Feng didn't come back until dark.
Xiao Lezi was so happy that he finished his dinner alone and went to sleep with peace of mind.
As a result, when I was sleeping until midnight, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside.
"The emperor passed away..."
Damn it, I was just praying to the Buddha to protect the emperor, but in the blink of an eye, he died? This is really a good thing but a bad spirit, bah bah bah!
Xiao Lezi sat up and wanted to go out to see the situation, but the door was locked. She had neither the key nor the clothes to wear when going out. She had to walk back and forth in the room, saying to herself: "No matter it is
Anyone, anyone can come..."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Cabbage strode in, holding a set of white clothes in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty has passed away, and the palace is in a mess now. Please change your clothes quickly, and stay in the house and don't run around."
Xiao Lezi put his clothes on and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"While we are still in the Jinhua Palace, I am afraid that we will not be able to come back for a while. He sent someone to send a message, telling us to close the doors and windows tightly and not allow any strangers to step into the East Palace. If we can survive tonight safely
, wait until daybreak, this matter will be over," Cabbage's tone was trembling, obviously very scared.
Everyone is not a fool, and Xiao Feng has said this, which means that tonight must be extremely dangerous.
The emperor had just passed away. Logically speaking, it was logical for Xiao Feng, the prince, to inherit the throne. However, everyone in the palace knew that the eldest prince Xiao Yun had been coveting the throne for a long time, and there were more than a dozen other princes with their own agendas.
No one can save fuel. If Xiao Feng cannot survive tonight, then tomorrow will be his death anniversary.
If Xiao Feng loses power, the entire East Palace will be destroyed.
Among them are Eunuch Xia, Bihe, Cabbage, and Xiao Lezi...
The clothes that Cabbage brought were women's clothes, and Xiao Lezi was properly dressed. Her white dress was clean and plain, without any accessories. Paired with her fair and rosy cheeks, she looked as graceful and beautiful as a piece of white jade.
She gently patted the back of Cabbage's hand and whispered: "Don't be afraid."
Cabbage looked at her blankly: "Aren't you afraid? If His Highness... we might all die."
Xiao Lezi immediately covered his chest, shrank, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Who said I'm not afraid of death? I'm not only afraid of death, I'm also afraid of pain, suffering, and hunger. I'm afraid of so many things that I can't even count them!
"
Then she let go again, shrugged like a scoundrel, and spread her hands: "But I am still alive and well, eating, drinking, and healthy, so it has nothing to do with what I am afraid of. I only know
The top priority now is to think about how to solve the breakfast problem, fill your stomach first, and then worry about the rest... never mind it!"
When she said this, her expression suddenly changed and she looked extremely serious.
Cabbage was startled by her sudden change of expression, and quickly asked: "What's wrong? What did you think of?"
"The East Palace is closed, so how can we bring in tomorrow's breakfast?" Xiao Lezi looked around and found that the plate of fruit on the table had been eaten by her as a midnight snack last night, leaving only a few bare peach stones.
She covered her face. If she had known it, she wouldn't be so greedy last night!
Cabbage looked at her with a numb face, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching: "Do you dare to be promising?!"
"Tch!" Xiao Lezi flicked his sleeves, raised his chest, and looked at her confidently, "Food is the most important thing for the people. This is human nature!"
"Stop making excuses for yourself, foodie..." Cabbage muttered softly.
Xiao Lezi acted like a god and didn't hear anything. She ran to the closet, opened the door, got in and rummaged through the cabinets. She dug out a small oil paper bag, held it carefully, and smiled happily: "Fortunately, I
You are clever and resourceful, you have hidden and prepared food!"
Cabbage was already desperate for this big foodie, but he couldn't help but look at her and asked curiously: "What is that?"
"Hey, of course it's delicious!" Xiao Lezi opened the oil paper little by little, and there were a few pieces of bait cake and red date cake inside.
She sniffed it vigorously, then swallowed it with a look of intoxication.
I really want to eat them right away...
No, no, she can't eat it now, she has to save it until tomorrow morning.
Uh-huh, it smells really good!
Xiao Lezi stared at the pastry in his hand, struggled for a long time, and whispered to himself: "I will just eat a small piece..."
Looking at her unpromising virtue, Cabbage wanted to tell her that in fact, the East Palace had its own small kitchen, and they could be self-sufficient even if the imperial kitchen did not bring food. Forget it, let her continue to embarrass herself here.
Bar!
"I'll make you a pot of tea," Cabbage couldn't bear to look any further and turned around and ran away.
When Kale walked in with the hot tea she had just made, she saw Xiao Lezi lying weakly on the table with a very ugly face.
Cabbage was startled, and hurriedly walked over, helped her up, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xiao Lezi burped, with cake crumbs still stuck to his mouth, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and he looked at her pitifully: "Hiccup! I have eaten all the cakes, and I will be hungry tomorrow.
!嘤嘤嘤!”
"..." Cabbage kept thinking silently in her heart. Impulse is the devil. Violence cannot solve problems. The world is beautiful and it is illegal to hit people... Turn over the table! You deserve a beating!
She is so stupid, she should have ignored this big foodie from the beginning!
Xiao Lezi tugged at the corner of her clothes and looked at her longingly: "I want to drink water, burp!"
Cabbage resignedly poured her a cup of tea and put it into her hand: "Be careful of the scalding."
"Thank you, you are such a good person," Xiao Lezi held the tea bowl and licked it with the tip of her tongue. She found that it was very hot, so she had to blow on it with a grimace. When the tea cooled down, she drank it all in one gulp.
She put down the tea bowl, wiped her mouth clean, burped again, and said with a smile: "It feels so good!"
Seeing her heartless look, Cabbage couldn't help but feel infected, and her nervous mood calmed down.
Cabbage tidied the bed and said, "It's still early, you can go on to sleep."
After eating and drinking, Xiao Lezi burped again. She touched her belly, moved to the bed, threw herself on the bed, and wrapped the quilt around her, turning her whole body into a big soft rice dumpling. She squeezed out of the quilt.
Come up with a brain and ask: "What about you?" (To be continued)
