"Cannon battle?" The emperor took the cannon fodder in Jiang Keji's hands and looked at it. Suddenly, his expression changed as he abruptly turned his head to look at the paralyzed Consort Xuan!
Consort Xuan immediately jumped in fright as she felt as if the emperor's gaze was about to execute her at any moment.
On the day they arrived at the hunting grounds, she saw this beautiful young concubine setting up a cannonball outside the tent. At that time, she had even told him with a sweet smile, "This is a cannon battle. Look, when they ascend into the air, they can create a round image.
At that time, her eyes were like two crescent moons, lively and beautiful. At that time, he didn't take it to heart and knew that her age and playfulness hadn't changed.
However …
Emperor Zhou Cheng quickly walked in front of Xuan Fei's dressing table and waved his hand. Everyone was startled to hear a clanging sound. When they looked down again, they saw that the bottom layer of the jewelry box had dropped the same kind of cannonball as the assassin's hand.
"Your majesty, these cannons are exactly the same as the ones that fell off your body right now." The empress was shocked as she pointed to the source of the voice!
"Light it up, let's go out and take a look!" the Emperor ordered.
"Yes." The eunuchs took the cannons and went outside as well. At this moment, everyone was pointing their cannons at the same time as Xuan Fei. As they rose into the air, one circle after another appeared as expected, their shapes and sizes were all exactly the same.
The emperor's hand slowly tightened into a fist.
"Your majesty, I remember now, when we were hunting in the forest, there was also such an artillery battle in the air. Your majesty, I remember now, when we were hunting in the forest, there was also such an artillery battle in the air." Your majesty, I remember now, when we were hunting in the forest, there was also such an artillery battle in the air. Jiang Keji recalled.
The emperor suddenly felt his vision go slightly black. He took two steps back, slowly raised his eyes, and looked towards Consort Xuan —
If Grand Concubine Xuan really was in cahoots with this assassin, then she herself had set off a firecracker on that day to tell her accomplice that — the Emperor was here!
"No, no, Your Majesty …" Xuanyan Fei was shocked and her face paled as she shook her head. "I, I don't know …"
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly opened wide as she stared at the chained Lian Ri Yue. Her mind recalled the day when she summoned her into the tent —
"Empress, what is this?" Lian Ruyue asked when she saw the little white thing on the table as if she was very interested in it.
"This is cannon fodder. When I was young, at my hometown, my parents once let go of this kind of cannon fodder. This sort of thing is rarely seen in the capital."
At that time, with just that sentence, she didn't take it to heart. Now, it seemed that Lian Ruyue had already had the intention to harm her at that time! And she had even plotted against him!
"You, you …" Consort Xuan panted heavily. Her eyes were as wide as a bronze cairn as she stared fixedly at Lian Rue. However, her body felt increasingly powerless. Just as she spoke two words, her entire body felt powerless.
"Empress …" "You … So the person you wanted to assassinate the other day was the Eleventh Princess. Do you know how sad she would be if she knew that she was the first one to run back and save you when you were in danger?" Lian Ruyue seemed to feel that she was being unworthy of Princess Eleven, and her face revealed a sorrowful expression.
"No, that's not it, your majesty …"
"Haha, I finally understand it now!" "Your majesty, the person in question is clearly Consort Xuan herself. She is a spy for the Jin Yuan Group and was groomed by the Jin Yuan Group to deal with your majesty. Now that something has happened, she has even tried to blame it on Chenqie.
Consort Xuan, ah, Concubine Xuan, I thought you were just being arrogant, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious!
You've been lurking by the emperor's side all along, and you're really up to no good. Now that I think about it, ever since you entered the palace, this harem hasn't had a single day of peace. "Everyone …"
The Queen looked at the Emperor and spoke harshly:
"Tell me, when do you plan on doing evil deeds to the Emperor!"
The empress's words made it so that Xuan Fei couldn't lift her breath in one breath. She suddenly gasped, "You, you …" She couldn't help but look at Feng Qianyue.
As the emperor looked at his concubine, cold sweat appeared on his forehead! Those who sleep in the same bed day and night are constantly thinking about how to kill him... That...
Feng Qianyue clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth tightly. However, at this moment, he couldn't come out and speak up for Xuan Fei; otherwise, he would be suspected!
He glanced at the Tenth Prince, Feng Rong, who understood his meaning, and said:
"Father, this son doesn't have a shred of strength left, it's just that if Xuan Fei was an assassin's accomplice, ten thousand deaths wouldn't be enough. But, just based on these shelling of fire, you are able to determine that she is from the Jin Yuan Group, isn't that a little too reckless?"
"Imperial Father, what the Tenth Imperial Brother said may be reasonable, but according to what Jiang Keji said, there have also been firecrackers in other places. That means that there are Jin Yuan Group's accomplices nearby. At this time, Feng Ye stood up and cupped his fists, asking for permission.
The Emperor nodded and said, "Yes."
"This son requests that we depart together!" Feng Rong asked for his order as well.
"Yes!" The two of you must go with Jiang Keji and capture all of the rebels before sunset! " The Emperor ordered.
"Yes sir!"
The two brothers, Feng Ye and Feng Rong, led Jiang Keji and a group of elite soldiers as they searched around the hunting grounds. Four hours later, they caught three Jin Yuan Deathsworn, who were tattooed with the same circular pattern on their backs.
"Your majesty, what are you hesitating for? How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Think about it, this Consort Xuan has an unknown origin, a dancer in the Rising Sun Pavilion. Who knows where she came from? But today, it seems like Xuan Fei is related to this Jin Yuan Group! " The Queen spoke earnestly from the side.
When Feng Qianyue heard this, a trace of cold sweat slowly seeped out of his palms.
Lian Ruyue looked at the emperor's tightly creased brows. She knew that until now, it wasn't that Zhou Chengdi didn't want to believe that Consort Xuan was a member of the Jin Yuan Group, but that he was an emperor who had fallen into a woman's trap.
As the sky darkened, candles were lit in the tents.
"Your Majesty, please, please allow this subject's daughter …" At this time, Lian Lu Yue unsteadily stood up. Her steps were on the verge of collapse.
"Elder sister, what's wrong?" Lian Meng was the first to notice Lian Ruyue's strangeness. He immediately supported her and anxiously shouted.
"I... "I can't breathe, I, am dizzy …" As she spoke, Lian Ruyue suddenly blacked out. She softly fell into Lian Fu's arms and fainted.
"What's going on? Imperial Physician... Imperial Physician … Lian Yan Qing quickly walked over, squatted on the ground, and shouted loudly.
"Quick, quickly call the imperial physician!" The empress was anxious as well.
"Untie the chains." The Emperor gave the order and Lian Fu carried her to the nearby low couch and laid her down.
Not long later, Imperial Physician Hua rushed over with a box in hand. He squatted to the side and checked Lian Ruping's pulse; everyone held their breath as they waited —
