Chapter 123 Tomorrow is his death day
Seeing that there was a way, Xiao Lezi immediately became energetic again, touched her with her elbow, and urged: "Then tell me quickly."
Kale had to talk about what happened that night slowly...
There was another drought in Qingzhou area. The emperor was sympathetic to the suffering of the people and decided to lead all civil and military officials to the ancestral temple to worship the sky and ask for rain.
It was said that the weather was really good that day, with sunshine and cloudless. Although the temperature was a little high, the emperor was still wearing a thick dragon robe and walked up the steps step by step with the support of eunuch Hua.
The altar is built on the top of the mountain, with marble bricks on the top of the ground. This huge bronze tripod is placed in the middle. The surface of the tripod is carved with complex patterns and strange ancient characters.
Legend has it that this bronze tripod was a treasure left on earth when the gods flew in the sky. As long as they were there, they could ensure peace and peace in the country.
The convenience behind the tripod is the ancestral temple, which is built majestic and magnificent, with a very royal atmosphere.
The emperor raised his incense and said a lot of words to the bronze tripod to describe the hardships of the people, then knelt down, sincerely praying that God could rain a little and give the people all over the world a peaceful life.
As a result, Yu was not asked to come, but instead found a group of black-clad assassins.
The scene was in chaos immediately. Eunuch Hua was closest to the emperor. He hurriedly protected the emperor behind him and shouted: "There is an assassin, protect the emperor! Protect the emperor quickly!"
It would be fine if he didn't shout, but this shout immediately attracted the attention of the assassins. The emperor in a golden dragon robe stood in the crowd and became particularly conspicuous. Unexpectedly, he became a living target. Everyone was holding a knife and pounced on him at this moment.
In the sword light and sabre shadow, the emperor was stabbed.
The panic scene passed quickly, most of the assassins were killed, and the remaining two living people were killed before being arrested and swallowed poison and committed suicide.
There is no evidence of death, and the assassination immediately becomes very difficult.
The prince hurriedly sent the emperor back to the palace for treatment, and then sent someone to block the city gate, vowing to find out the mastermind behind the assassin.
Kale became more and more devoted to her. When describing the scene of the emperor being assassinated, she wanted to add all the adjectives she had learned throughout her life, saying it was full of spits: "I saw a sword and a sword at that time, and the scene was chaotic. The assassins were all fierce and evil, and they killed everyone when they saw them. They raised their swords and fell, just like the evil ghost. With one knife, they flew with blood and flesh, and they really killed people without blinking!"
Xiao Lezi just thought it was listening to the jokes, and she listened with relish. After she finished speaking, Xiao Lezi asked: "Can you say so in detail, can you see it with your own eyes?"
Kale immediately touched his nose and laughed: "I am just a little palace maid, so I am qualified to participate in such an important thing as a sacrifice to heaven. This is all said, 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 smiles happily: "Thank you!"
Xiao Lezi asked again: "How is Your Majesty's injury now?"
"I heard that everyone from the Imperial Hospital was called to Jinhua Palace to treat His Majesty's injuries. It has been three days since then, and it has not come out yet." Kale's eyes were staring at the white jade cake. Thinking of its soft and delicate taste, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva secretly. "The news about His Majesty's injuries has been blocked. Apart from the Imperial Doctors, only the prince and several princes know that we slaves know that what is so important."
Seeing that her eyes were almost straightened, Xiao Lezi couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so she got up and walked towards the bed: "I'm sleepy, you go back."
"Yes," Kale quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and left happily with the white jade cake.
Xiao Lezi lay on the bed, crossing her legs, shaking constantly.
The emperor was injured and his life and death are uncertain now, so he will definitely not be able to help her leave the palace again. This way of departure is temporarily blocked.
She was a little disappointed.
But then again, the emperor treats her pretty well. Even though he knows that she is dressed as a man and a woman, he not only does not chop her head, but also makes efforts to help her leave the palace.
Xiao Lezi clasped his hands together and prayed sincerely: "Buddha, you must bless Your Majesty with peace and safety, Ami Tofu."
Until dark, Xiao Feng did not come back.
Xiao Lezi was so happy that he finished dinner alone and took a shower and went to bed with peace of mind.
As a result, when I was sleeping until midnight, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside.
"The emperor has passed away..."
Damn, I was praying for the Buddha to bless the emperor just now, but why did he die in a blink of an eye? This is such a good and bad spirit, bah bah bah bah bah!
Xiao Lezi sat up and wanted to go out to see the situation, but the door was locked. She had no keys or clothes to wear to the door. She had to go back and forth around the room and kept talking to herself: "No matter who it is, just come on your own..."
The door was suddenly pushed open, Kale strode in, holding a set of white clothes in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty has passed away, the palace is in a mess now. You should change your clothes quickly and stay in the house and don't run around."
Xiao Lezi asked, while putting her clothes on her body, “Where is the prince?”
"I'm still in Jinhua Palace, I'm afraid I won't come back for a while. He asked someone to send a message to us and told us to close the doors and windows and not allow any strangers to step into the East Palace. If we can survive tonight safely and wait until dawn, this matter will be over," Kale's tone was a little trembling, obviously very scared.
No one is a fool. Xiao Feng has said this to this point, which means that it will be extremely dangerous tonight.
The emperor had just passed away. Logically speaking, it was legitimate for Xiao Feng to inherit the throne as the crown prince, but everyone in the entire palace knew that the eldest prince Xiao Yun had already coveted the throne for a long time, and there were more than a dozen other princes with their own thoughts.
No one is a fuel-efficient lamp. If Xiao Feng can't stand tonight, then tomorrow will be his death day.
If Xiao Feng loses power, the entire Eastern Palace will be finished.
Among them, there are eunuchs Xia, Bihe, cabbage, and Xiaolezi...
The clothes that Kale brought were women's clothing, which Xiao Lezi was wearing properly. The white dress was clean and clean, without any accessories. With her fair and rosy cheeks, she looked graceful and beautiful, as beautiful as a white jade.
She patted Kale's back of her hand gently and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
Kale looked at her blankly: "Are you not afraid? What if your Highness...we may all die."
Xiao Lezi immediately covered her chest, shrank, and exaggeratedly shouted: "Who said I am not afraid of death? I am not only afraid of death, but also of pain, suffering, and hunger. I am afraid of too many things, and I can't count them!"
Then she let go of her hands, shrugged like a scoundrel, and spread her hands: "But I am still alive until now, and I eat and drink, and it's healthy and delicious, so it has nothing to do with fear. I only know that the most urgent thing now is to think about how to solve breakfast, fill my stomach first, and as for the rest... what about it!"
Speaking of this, she suddenly changed her face and looked extremely serious.
Kale was startled by her sudden change of face and asked quickly: "What's wrong? What did you think of?"
"The East Palace is going to be closed, so how can I bring in tomorrow's breakfast?" Xiao Lezi looked around and found that the plate of fruit on the table was eaten up by her last night as a midnight snack, leaving only a few bare peach pits.
She covered her face, and she would have known that she would have been greedy last night!
Kale looked at her with a numb look on her face, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching: "Do you dare to have some success?!"
"Tsk!" Xiao Lezi shook her sleeves, raised her chest, and looked at her with confidence, "Food is the most important thing for people, this is human nature!"
"Don't make excuses for yourself, foodie..." Kale murmured in a low voice.
Xiao Lezi didn't even hear it, and jumped to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet door, went in and rummaged through the cabinet. She took out a small oil paper bag, held it carefully, and smiled happily: "Fortunately, I'm smart and clever, and hid the food!"
Kale was already desperate about this big foodie, but she couldn't help looking at her and asked curiously: "What's that?"
"Hehe, of course it's delicious!" Xiao Lezi opened the oil paper little by little, and put a few bait cakes and red date cakes in it.
She sniffed hard, then swallowed her saliva with an intoxicated look on her face.
I really want to eat them right away...
No, she can't eat it now, she must leave it until tomorrow morning to eat it.
Oh, but it smells so good!
Xiao Lezi stared at the pastry in her hand, struggled for a long time, and told herself in a low voice: "I'll just eat a small piece..."
Looking at her unreliable virtue, Kale really wanted to tell her that the East Palace actually has its own kitchen, and even if the imperial kitchen does not deliver food, they can still be self-sufficient. Forget it, let her continue to be embarrassing here!
"I'll make a pot of tea for you," Kale couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and turned his head and ran away.
When Kale came in with the newly brewed hot tea, she saw Xiao Lezi lying weakly on the table, her face looked very ugly.
Kale was shocked and hurried over, helped her up, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Lezi burped, with pastry crumbs on his mouth and his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and looked at her pitifully: "Hiber! I've finished all the pastries, I'll go hungry tomorrow! Huh!"
"..." Kale kept silent in his heart, impulse was that devil violence could not solve the problem. This world is beautiful. It is illegal to beat people... I overturn the table! I deserve a beating!
She is so stupid, she shouldn't pay attention to this big foodie from the beginning!
Xiao Lezi pulled the corner of her clothes and looked at her with a gaze: "I want to drink water, burp!"
Kale poured her a cup of tea and stuffed it into her hand: "Be careful of it."
"Thank you, you are such a good person," Xiao Lezi held the tea bowl and licked it with a small tip of her tongue. She found it was very hot. She had to blow with a bitter face. When the tea was colder, she immediately drank it all.
She put down the tea bowl, wiped her mouth clean, burped again, and smiled and said, "It's so good!"
Looking at her heartless appearance, Kale was involuntarily infected, and her originally nervous mood calmed down.
Kale tidied up his bed and said, "It's still early, you can go to bed."
Chapter completed!
