What Qi Huan feared most was that someone would attack Yang Qingyun directly. Seeing that he came back unscathed, his heart would be put back in his stomach.

She withdrew her gaze and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Eunuch Jia left there and had not returned for a long time, and the whole banquet was coming to an end.

It was too late, and the emperor must be a little in a bad mood. He gave a few words to Queen Gu around him in private, then stood up and planned to leave the seat.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly got up and knelt down to see him off, but the emperor smiled and stopped him: "Today's banquet is for the king and his ministers to have fun together. There is no need to be polite to celebrate the festival. I am mentally exhausted, so I should take the lead and pay attention to love and enjoy the joy of my love."

The court officials ordered the women to do good deeds, so they avoided the ceremony of kneeling down and still calmed down their expressions and shouted: "Give me a greeting to Your Majesty!"

The prince personally accompanied the emperor and stood up to see him off.

Everyone remained quiet.

It was not until the father and son left at the banquet that the prince then asked the emperor beside him: "Has the emperor sister never showed up again today?"

The emperor smiled helplessly and said, "Don't you know the temper of that girl? I came here in the evening, kowtowed to me and your mother, and then left again."

Yun Cheng was unwilling to attend such an occasion because he was tired of being an alien in the eyes of everyone and being stared at the flaws in his appearance.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh: "Let her be happy."

The palace maid and eunuch followed behind, and saw that the father and son were about to go around the screen wall-

Unexpectedly, the two girls hurriedly walked around from the other side of the screen wall.

They were already in a hurry and didn't even look at the road seriously.

As soon as he turned around, one of them staggered and suddenly bumped into the front.

Yun Zhan reacted very quickly and immediately reached out to stop the emperor behind him.

He was also cautious and would not easily ask outsiders to approach him, but he recognized the exact identities of the two girls as soon as he snatched up. He knew that it was impossible for him to be an assassin, so he raised his hand to take it.

He held the girl's arm steadily, helped her firmly, and sent her aside.

"Be careful." Yun Zhan said casually.

While speaking, he calmly withdrew his hand and flipped the corner of his robe to cover up his actions just now.

The girl almost fell down, feeling aggrieved, but suddenly looked up and found that she had hit His Majesty the Emperor and the Prince. Her blood in her body instantly freezes into the blood vessels, and she is still motionless.

The girl who was walking with her next to her was unable to hold her back just now, and she was also secretly frustrated.

Seeing that she was out of control, he quickly snatched up and pulled her down to apologize: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, forgive me, is the two ministers and daughters who are reckless, and they deserve to die."

The emperor has always been a lenient person, and this is not a big deal...

Yun Zhan looked at his father's face from the side. He was about to expose the matter when a eunuch in charge heard the movement and hurriedly walked around behind the screen wall.

Seeing this, he was indiscriminate, and while kneeling down to apologize to the emperor, he was already accusing the two girls with a sharp sarcastic remarks: "Who are you two girls? Have you never taught the trajectory in the mansion? You are reckless and unruly in such occasions..."

Yun Zhan couldn't help but frowned—

Is this interesting thing? This eunuch robbed him and the emperor, and he couldn't speak out?

Originally, everyone at the banquet was staring at this side and wanted to watch the emperor leave first, and the whole yard was almost silent.

As soon as the eunuch general manager shouted, the elders of the two girls at the table hurriedly got up and trotted towards this side.

The two girls, who had contacted the emperor and the prince so closely for the first time, were already frightened. When they were criticized in front of the civil and military officials and children of aristocratic families in the court, they were frightened and cried.

Their parents arrived later, and knelt down and apologized: "It is a shameless thing for me to teach my daughter, and I am willing to receive punishment for my daughter."

After being forced into this situation, the emperor finally got his voice back and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. It's because I and the prince didn't make much noise when they walked, and they just happened to be blocked by the screen wall. Let's just flatten them. What are the girls being scolded? Look, it scares the children."

The people from the two families then breathed a sigh of relief, each holding the weak-legged girl up and making way for the emperor.

The eunuch general manager also stood up, but he didn't know if it was because of the loyalty of the head of the household that he actually blamed the two girls with a calm face and reluctance: "Your Majesty is kind, this is our temper, but the two girls should also pay attention to their demeanor and the rules of the palace. It's not right to chase and make trouble at the banquet."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two families immediately became frightened and terrified again.

The girl almost got into trouble and stopped her tears. She was anxious and angry. She held her mother's hand in tears and defended her hurriedly: "Mom...Daughter is not, we didn't do it on purpose. Just now, my sister Siying and I passed by the lake shore in front and saw someone jumping into the lake and falling into the water..."

On such a festive occasion, the girl's mother immediately scolded in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it must be the dark moon and the wind is high, and you are dazzled."

Guo Siying next to him was also angry and shouted: "Aunt Tang, it's true. A palace maid drowned and the man had been caught, but it was really terrible."

At night, two teenage girls would be scared to death when they saw a dead person with a pale face if they were.

The two of them then lost their composure and ran back in a panic.

and--

The Tang girl realized that she had just tripped up by something.

But now when I look back, there are no bulges on the floor tiles where I walk, and only a row of eunuchs and palace maids standing next to me with their eyes looking at their noses and noses.

It is not a big deal if there is someone who dies in the palace. It’s just that the Mid-Autumn Festival wedding banquet is somewhat bad.

The emperor can't just act like a person's life, so he will not ask about it directly?

Everyone at the banquet had already started to whisper in private.

At this time, Empress Gu had already walked to the emperor and responded calmly: "Someone was satisfied and fell into the water. I have heard the report. General Manager Jia went to deal with it. When he handled it properly, he would want me to report it. Because today's day was different, I didn't want to make things difficult for Your Majesty at the banquet. I never thought that I would scare the two girls."

She said this properly and beautifully.

It seems to be an explanation to the emperor, but in fact—

But it was comforting everyone present.

The emperor followed the steps and nodded, "Unexpected things are inevitable. The queen has always been properly doing things, so I will not ask."

At this point, it should come to an end.

The emperor was about to continue to walk away, but heard a shrill shout from a woman outside the wall vaguely: "It's not me... it's not the one I killed, Eunuch Ji! Eunuch Ji, you say something for me. It's really not that I drowned Yuxiu... I'm wronged... You can't take human life aside!"

She should have wanted to break here to save her life, but was stopped.

The crying sounds intermittently, and there are even obvious signs of being dragged away.

At the banquet, the atmosphere that had just calmed down became restless again-

Although the matter of one or two palace maids is insignificant in the eyes of these nobles, the gossip mentality is causing the incident, and everyone stretched their necks to see what was going on.

Of course, Empress Gu can solve the matter in the palace by herself, but—

Someone tried his best to push the matter to the civil and military officials in the court, pushing her and the emperor under her nose...

"Under the rule of this palace, there is no unjust case of taking human life in the harem. In this way, the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is also full of fun, and it is about to be finished..." Empress Gu accepted the call without hesitation.

She looked sideways and gave a wink to the palace maid beside her: "Go and ask them to bring the palace maid outside in."

"Yes." The great palace maid responded and then walked out quickly.

Queen Gu has a decisive personality and is expected to have a quick battle, so she didn't ask anyone to move a chair for her.

She just turned around and asked the emperor again: "It's getting late. Didn't your Majesty say you're tired? I'll just deal with it here. You'd better go back to the bedroom to rest first?"

The emperor's expression was still calm: "I am not sleepy after being fussed like this. I am waiting here to hear the result of this matter."

This incident started, and the intention of smashing the situation was obvious. He naturally thought it was from the harem for the queen.

He said he wanted to stay, but Empress Gu did not object.

Soon, the big palace maid sent out came in with a palace maid who was crying with tears on his face and was trepidated and a eunuch in his thirties dressed in charge of serving the affairs.

The two of them obviously have different identities and do not usually have the chance to meet the emperor and empress, so they knelt in two groups as soon as they came in: "Slave/I have met the Empress... Your Majesty..."

There were countless noble people present, and I didn’t know if I should continue to greet you later.

Queen Gu didn't care and asked directly: "Let's report their own names first."

The eunuch in charge said first: "Slave Ji Toyota, who worked in the tea room in the previous dynasty, this... This servant is called Xu Qiu, who is the palace servant under the slave. Tonight, for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Ju Cai and others were ordered to temporarily transfer the harem to help. On the way, another servant under his command Yu Xiu said that he went to Xiao Jie but had not returned for a long time. Later, Xu Qiu went to find someone... As the slave saw with his own eyes, the two of them were raising disputes by the lake in front, and then Yu Xiu fell into... and drowned in the lake."

As he was talking, Eunuch Jia should have received the news urgently and rushed back.

After Toyota finished speaking, Empress Gu floated over to Eunuch Jia.

But before Eunuch Jia could speak, Xu Qiu panicked and shouted: "The Empress is wronged. Yuxiu is trying to find a short-sighted view. When I went to find her, I saw her throwing a pot. I wanted to save her, so I got involved with her. But Eunuch Ji did not distinguish between me and did not want to count this life on my head. I was wronged!"

Queen Gu did not agree.

She only glanced at Toyota with a very intimidating look.

Ji Toyota's eyes flashed, and his voice became weaker: "I did see her evil people entangled and argued by the lake, but... when the slave ran over, Yuxiu had already fallen into the water, but... she didn't hear the content of the dispute between the two."

Now both sides have different opinions and are in a dark state. On the contrary, what they said may be true.

At this time, Eunuch Jia took two steps forward and bowed to the two people behind the enemy. Then he pondered slightly with a little bit of difficulty: "That corpse slave had initially checked and found some problems..."

He was Queen Gu's confidant and had no taboos towards Queen Gu. As he said that, he glanced at the emperor obscurely.

Queen Gu said, "It's okay, just say it right."

Eunuch Jia said: "When the body was caught, it was red, and it didn't look like a woman's Yuexin..."

The emperor could not stay here anymore, and Concubine Sheng Xian and other concubines had already gathered together.

So, before Eunuch Jia finished speaking, Concubine Sheng Xian was surprised and said, "The woman saw red under her body. If it weren't for Yue Xin, would it be that she had a pregnancy or miscarriage?"

In the entire harem, the emperor was the only man. At this time, there was no sight to dare to look at the emperor. But I don’t know that everyone believed in the emperor’s character, did not need to do such dirty things, or was simply afraid of the ruling power, and did not dare to express anything if they doubted it.
To be continued...
