"Who is it?" Who is it? A few guards saw a figure hurrying up the stairs to the main hall. He quickly pressed the sword boots in his hands and followed.
They blocked Luo Shang's path, and looking at the girl's makeup, they knew that she was no ordinary servant.
"You're a dancers from the backyard?"
Luo Shang nodded her head, and asked anxiously: "May I ask if an elderly woman has ever been here before?"
The guards thought about it carefully. One of them stroked his chin, which was full of stubble, and thoughtfully nodded.
I think a woman has been here." The guard recalled. At that time, when the guards were changing positions, there was indeed a woman wearing an ink-black robe who wanted to go up to the stage and head towards the higher levels of the main hall. Fortunately, he found himself stopping her in time. The woman was covered by a veil, so her appearance could not be seen. However, her eyes seemed to carry a heavy killing intent.
And just as the woman walked towards him, a younger woman arrived. Her beautiful green clothes were also covered by a veil.
"Then where did she go?" Luo Shang asked.
"Then another woman came, and she followed that woman. "Oh right, that woman seemed to have said something to the woman." The guard scratched his ears and cheeks, thinking about what the girl had said before she left.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said loudly, "I remember now. That woman only said that she had a painting to give to her."
Luo Shang's heart sank, the lady must be Su Qing, could it be that Su Qing found out about her aunt's identity? Luo Shang thought, not good...
She turned and ran.
"Sigh, I say, why would a woman like you …" The guard extended his hand, but Luo Shang had already ran out of the room.
Shen Changqing wholeheartedly wanted the empress dowager to die. She had waited so many years, but still hadn't achieved her wish. Yesterday, she had handed over the things she had waited for all her life to him.
She went up the balcony because she wanted to have a chance to take the life of the empress dowager.
As Luo Shang thought about this, the center of her palm was already drenched with cold sweat. She had no fate to find Shen Changqing's figure, she was afraid that the banquet would begin, but where was she?
Luo Shang wiped the sweat off her forehead and gasped for air.
After going around one pavilion after another, he had searched almost every inch of the place that Shen Changqing would go to but to no avail. Just as Luo Shang wanted to give up and rush back to the banquet, she saw a dark green muslin hanging on a branch deep in the forest.
Luo Shang anxiously lifted her skirt and ran over. When she approached, she could only see a pair of shoes in the forest.
Her eyes trembled, she slowly peeled away the grass, only to see Shen Changqing's chest dripping with blood, her lips still stained with dried blood.
"Aunt?"
Luo Shang struggled to drag her out from the grass, and she called out Shen Changqing's name.
"Luo …" Luo Shang... Is that you? " Shen Changqing closed his eyes and she weakly called out Luo Shang's name. He slowly raised her hand a few times, but was still unable to move it as he fell to the ground.
"Aunt, it's me. I'm Luo Shang. How did you become like this? " Luo Shang's eyes became moist, looking at her, it was impossible to continue watching.
Shen Changqing kept repeating the same name. Su Qing. Su Qing... "
Su Qing. When Luo Shang heard this name, she felt infinite regret. She should have thought of it long ago, but she just happened to let her go when she found out that she had ulterior motives.
She was the yellow sparrow Qing Ning mentioned!
"Su Qing... She … She was one of the empress dowager's people, and one of the empress dowager's spies in the Prince Jin's palace. She used lime powder to blind my eyes, and broke the tendons and bones in my legs. I can't live, Luo Shang, you must hurry back to the Flower Soul Hall, you must not let her … Took the crown. Otherwise, it will … "Yes …"
"Aunt …" "Aunt …" Luo Shang shook her head, tears blurring her eyes.

A melodious flute melody came from the Blossom Soul Palace. The long sleeves of all the girls fluttered as countless delicate and beautiful flower petals gently fluttered between the heaven and earth. The refreshing fragrance of the flowers captivated everyone.
The hundred beauties had flower buds that seemed to bloom as they spread out. In the rain of flowers, many goddess-like beauties appeared like orchids in the sky. They were light and graceful, and their goddess-like movements were graceful.
Everyone was watching with intoxicated expressions.
Leng Shaoyu's face was gloomy, he turned and asked Mo Yun who was at the side. "What about that woman?"
Mo Yun carefully examined it, and hurriedly lowered his head. Your subordinate didn't do anything well, so I didn't notice that she... "He's gone."
"Then what are you still standing here for?" Leng Shaoyu's gaze was as sharp as an eagle, his facial features were distinct like sculptures, and his angular face was abnormally handsome, but at the moment, it carried a gloomy look.
His ruthless and cold expression made Mo Yun horrified.
"Yes, your subordinate will go now."
At this moment, the sound of the flute suddenly turned urgent, and the girls used their right feet as the axis. Her long sleeves lightly swayed as her delicate body spun faster and faster. It suddenly flew up from the ground. A hundred beauties formed a circle, waving their jade-like hands, and dozens of blue silk ribbons flew out. The hall seemed to be filled with blue waves, and the young girl leaped over the silk ribbons.
Applause rang out from all directions within the great hall, and endless praises could be heard.
"Fourth brother, look …" "So beautiful …" "Your Majesty!" he suddenly shouted, clapping his hands. "Alright …"
But Leng Shaoyu just kept a straight face and drank his wine alone without saying a word.
Leng Mufei who was seated below the stage felt that it was strange, the dance was about to end, where did Luo Shang go? Could it be that she escaped at the last moment? This wasn't like her at all.
"Big Brother, why isn't Big Sister Fairy here yet?" The little girl beside her pouted and shook the cup in her hand.
Leng Mufei crossed his legs and looked at him sideways. "Why do you seem to like that woman so much, brat?"
"Of course, she is my elder sister fairy and my woman. When I grow up, I will definitely marry her. I have to protect her well so that no one will dare to bully her in the future. "
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
"Big brother, why did you hit me!" Young Lord looked up at Leng Mufei in grievance. Just now, the man had slapped his head, not caring that he was a child at all and showed mercy.
Leng Mufei looked and warned with an evil smile: "She cannot be your woman. Because she will only be mine. "
"Ah, then wouldn't Big Brother and I be love rivals from now on? "Then don't sit with me anymore." Young Lord shifted his body to the other side, a little unhappy.
She really was a child, so adorable.
Leng Mufei laughed helplessly, but he could not hide the profoundness in his eyes.
Finally, the ladies on top of the Blossom Soul Palace stopped what they were doing. Through their voices, they slowly walked forward and bowed.
"So beautiful." His Majesty's eyes were fixated on An Zhuran, who was sitting at the seat of honor. He really loved girls whenever he saw them, and had long forgotten about the masked Luo Shang from before.
"What's your name?" His Majesty asked An Zhuran.
An Zhuran never thought that she would really be favored by the emperor. She moved her body forward, and obediently answered: "I am An Zhuran."
"An Zhuran. It's a good name, and it's beautiful. " His Majesty looked at her.
If it wasn't for the rule set down by the late emperor, the woman at the Flower Souls Show would have to be masked. Only on the day she was conferred the title of a concubine and was to sleep with the emperor could she remove her veil.
"Mother, Childrens thinks she's not bad, so let her be the head of the crown." His Majesty waited respectfully for the empress dowager to speak up. If the empress dowager hadn't taken a fancy to her, she naturally wouldn't have chosen either.
"As long as the Emperor feels good." The Jinghe was solemn and dignified, but she had a kind smile. She glanced at Su Qing who was seated on the stage, and her heart had a different feeling.
Every move that Su Qing made, every frown and smile, every single one of her actions was serious all aimed towards the flower spirit crown. It was just that Jinghe only wanted her to win against Shen Changqing, she did not give any orders for her to win. Instead, what was she doing?
"What does fourth brother think?" His Majesty took care of the empress dowager and was even more afraid of the Prince Jin as he hurriedly asked.
Leng Shaoyu said indifferently. "If royal brother likes it, that's enough."
"Haha …" "Alright, then that's the decision." His Majesty slapped the Dragon Throne and looked at the crowd beneath the stage. He flicked his sleeves and feigned dignity as he spoke, "This Emperor has already seen what is going on. His dance is graceful and graceful. In addition, the girls in the backyard of Prince Jin were all named Lu Zhao and were rewarded with five hundred gold coins. Zhuo Sheng An Zhuran is... "
Just as His Majesty was about to speak, a cry came from the Blossom Soul Palace.
For some reason, An Zhuran was pushed to the surface of the stage, and the muslin cloth slid down to the ice-cold flower soul stage.
An Zhuran panicked, and immediately picked up the veil to hide his face, but, his face had long been seen by the rest of the people.
His Majesty looked at her appearance, incomparably ugly. Long Yan flew into a rage and fiercely slapped the table in front of her. "Your Majesty." You … How dare you! "A mere girl dares to deceive His Majesty the Emperor? You must be tired of living."
An Zhuran kept kneeling and kowtowing as she turned around to look at Su Qing behind her. Su Qing's ice-cold eyes were also looking at her.
"You … "Why do you want to harm me?" An Zhuran hated herself for being too stupid, believing in Su Qing so much. She didn't expect her to do this.
It was really hard to predict.
"Men, pull the dancer An Zhuran out for us and she can be executed!" Long Wei was furious, that was scary.
An Zhuran pleaded. "Your Majesty, have mercy, have mercy …"
"Your Majesty, please forgive An Zhuran." Su Qing who was at the side walked over.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but her veil suddenly fell down, and her beautiful face was extremely beautiful.
His Majesty's eyes narrowed. Asked her, "Who are you, and how dare you plead for her?"
Su Qing had always been dignified and composed. She knelt beside An Zhuran and softly said, "Your servant is called, but I didn't want Your Majesty to work so hard for her. An Zhuran was lost in thought for a while, and I hope Your Majesty can let me off this time."
Since even the beauty said so, how could the greedy and beautiful emperor refuse? He looked at Su Qing and said, "Forget it. In that case, he would spare her life. You said, your name is Su Qing? "
"Yes."
"That's good. This year's crown belongs to you." His Majesty smiled again.
Jinghe on the side had a gloomy face. She stared coldly at Su Qing, but Su Qing did not pay attention to her expression.
Jinghe said. Your majesty, I'm afraid this girl is unable to do so. "
"Mother, didn't you say that you would call the Childrens as the ruler? Why are you going back on your word now? "
Jinghe pulled her face and did not say anything.
Su Qing who was kneeling on the stage had her head lowered, her cold eyes opening her mouth wide and smiling.
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded from outside the hall.
"She can't be a corolla."
