The guard, whose face was covered with soot and black soil, knelt on the ground and trembled, saying: "Your Majesty, it's not good. The Shoukang Palace built for the Queen Mother is in trouble."

As soon as these words came out, many male and female guests sitting in the seats stood up with their round eyes widened in shock, because the guard's words had shocked them so much.

You must know this Shoukang Palace, but in order to honor his mother, who is also the current Queen Mother, Emperor Dali personally ordered thousands of architects and craftsmen to build the Shoukang Palace, and the building materials used were even more luxurious and expensive. Although

Queen Mother

It was a simple thing, but in order to honor her, Emperor Dali insisted on building a palace for her, and also moved all the royal memorial tablets to this palace, so that the Queen Mother could worship in Shoukang Palace with peace of mind, which could also comfort her in her longing.

The late emperor's lonely mood.

The Shoukang Palace was just completed the day before the Chinese New Year, and the royal memorial tablets were all moved to the exclusive memorial hall in the Shoukang Palace. If this fire burned the deceased emperor's spiritual tablets, then where would the royal family's face be?

When the Empress Dowager heard that Shoukang Palace was on fire, she stood up anxiously, hurriedly ran down the steps and ran out of the palace, followed closely by two rows of eunuchs and maids. Emperor Dali was also anxious and called out: "Empress, please be patient.

Be careful, you can rest assured that your son will go there! Queen Mother..."

Emperor Dali also got up from the dragon throne and chased after him, but no matter how he called, the Queen Mother seemed not to notice, and hurriedly ran towards the Shoukang Palace.

As soon as Emperor Dali and the Queen Mother left the table, all the male and female guests present also became confused. Most of them followed Emperor Dali and hurriedly abandoned Shoukang Palace to put out the fire.

There were only a few people left inside and outside the Golden Dragon Hall. Xia Yushu chose to stay at her seat because she saw Feng Feixue standing motionless in the center of the stage. When she saw her slowly walking towards her seat and sitting down, Xia Yushu

He stood up, lifted up his skirt and hurried over, just as he was about to speak sarcastically to Feng Feixue.

Aunt Liu supported the old lady and walked over. Seeing Xia Yushu coming to Feng Feixue in such a hurry, the old lady couldn't help frowning and said: "Miss Xia, what are you doing? Looking at you so angry, it seems like Ruoxi

It’s as if I’ve offended you.”

Xia Yushu hurriedly restrained the almost curse words just now, put on a gentle smile, looked at Feng Feixue tenderly, and said: "Old madam, I think you must have misunderstood me. Ruoxi and I

They are good friends, and I came here to have a chat with her and talk about my feelings."

Feng Feixue pretended not to hear, but stood up and faced the old lady, caring: "Old lady, you are not feeling well, let Ruoxi support you and go back home together!"

The old lady shook her head: "Ruoxi, what just happened was really dangerous!" The old lady suddenly looked back and saw that only a few of the male guests were still sitting on their seats calmly, and one of them was

There was Natujie, the heroic king of Northern Xinjiang. At this moment, he was holding up his wine glass, sipping it carefully and drinking it in one gulp.

"Ruoxi, I guess..." The old lady wanted to say something, but when she saw Xia Yushu, she pricked up her ears like a rabbit, as if she wanted to hear clearly, with the intention of eavesdropping.

He coughed heavily and said, "Miss Xia, our Lin family has something to discuss, so you'd better stay out of the way."

Xia Yushu's pink face became stiff, but she was very good at observing people's emotions. She hurriedly stepped back and said with a slight smile: "Old madam, please chat with Fourth Miss. I'll see you again when I come back, Fourth Miss." 14967626

After saying that, she turned around and left shaking her body.

Only then did the old lady speak clearly: "I just saw what Chen Qiong and King Yingli said before King Yingli took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry you to him. It can be seen that this matter has nothing to do with it.

Chen Guogong's mansion is inseparable, so we have to think of a way."

Aunt Liu was anxious, tears welled up in her eyes, and they were about to fall down. She frowned, her eyes full of worry: "Ruoxi, I can see just now that you want to kill everything, and

I wanted to put all the charges of disobeying the imperial edict on myself. My mother was heartbroken at the time. She thought to herself why I couldn't stand up when I saw my daughter in danger. My mother felt really bad.

taste."

Feng Feixue could see from Aunt Liu's tearful expression that she had some guilt, cowardice, kindness and great motherly love. However, when life and death were at stake, such cowardice was really not how she should be shown.

It will only make the enemy feel more successful.

Feng Feixue smiled gently, stretched out her two soft white hands, one hand held the old lady's hand, and the other hand held Aunt Liu's palm.

He comforted the two of them and said: "You don't have to worry about me. This time Shoukang Palace is in trouble. King Yingli's request for the emperor's marriage must be delayed because of this. The emperor must be very unhappy because Shoukang Palace is on fire. He

If he insists on asking about this matter, he will probably only see a cold face."

The old lady and Aunt Liu felt that what she said made sense, so they felt relieved. Aunt Liu helped the old lady back to her previous seat and sat down. Feng Feixue saw that the eldest lady and Lin Rusi had taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

It can be seen that these two people were afraid that they had rejected the marriage and were afraid of being punished by the emperor, right?

When entering the palace this time, neither Leng Xin nor Qiu Yan could stay in the palace, so Feng Feixue was the only one sitting on the seat quietly drinking tea. In fact, she was also clarifying her thoughts.

Mrs. Xiahou is indeed a person who does not give simple answers. She can think of asking the Queen Mother to plead with the emperor for a marriage and marry Xia Yushu to Tuobatian. But how many people dare to disobey the emperor's imperial decree, let alone Tuobatian?

Is he the emperor's son? Mrs. Xiahou thinks so

Having decided on this point, she took this damaging move, but she never expected that Tuobatian would have already left the table when the emperor conferred the marriage. In this way, even if the emperor wanted to confer the marriage, but Tuobatian was not present, he would not be able to do so.

I can only put this matter on hold.10nlk.

As for Tuobatian, was he really sick and left the banquet? Feng Feixue wouldn't believe it, because a moment ago he was full of jealousy and fought against King Yingli because of King Yingli's unreasonable pursuit of her. How could it be possible?

Why did you just say you were sick and left?

There was only one result, and that was that he had calculated that Mrs. Xiahou would sing this play and pull off such a conspiracy.

What made her even more headache was actually what she expected. Tuoba Chen and Chen Qiong had teamed up to deal with her. Although Chen Qiong was a hero on the battlefield, his plots and tricks were too much when it came to dealing with women.

No worse than others, he actually thought of using the prince of Northern Xinjiang, King Yingli, to propose a marriage to the emperor and marry her to Northern Xinjiang. King Yingli was tired of playing with her?

This was not only a humiliation for her, but also the final fate that he felt should be the most retaliatory for her. But what he was thinking about at the time was that he wanted to use his wisdom and eloquence to grant the marriage, and politely refused in front of the emperor. Of course, there was also danger in this.

, but she doesn’t do this and doesn’t know how to get through this difficulty.

Unexpectedly, the Shoukang Palace was compromised? And the Queen Mother and the Emperor were so anxious that they delayed the marriage?

As she thought about it, Feng Feixue couldn't help but think of a person, could it be Tuoba Tian? Only he was not present, and he was the only one who could make such a coincidence that he set Shoukang Palace on fire and saved her life.

Thinking of this, Feng Feixue couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, he was still on her side, thinking and worrying about herself all the time, and not letting her feel that she was in a confrontation with a family as big as Chen Guogong's mansion.

At that time, the force was weak.

"Hey, how's it going? I'm killing two birds with one stone!" At some point, a man with a face of black soil and soot threw himself down in front of Feng Feixue's desk. He raised his nose and couldn't see his handsome face clearly. He actually looked proud.

He stood in front of Feng Feixue and boasted.

Feng Feixue saw that his face was blackened by the fireworks, and he couldn't see his handsome face clearly. He looked extremely ridiculous. She couldn't help but laughed in a low voice: "Yes, who is His Highness the Fifth Highness? He must be so smart and powerful.

They rushed into the mourning hall one after another

You have saved the late emperor's body and received the gratitude of the Queen Mother and the praise of the emperor. It seems that the emperor will definitely reward you greatly for your heroic deeds. Maybe you will also reward your favorite cousin Xia Yushu.

I’m giving you a marriage!”

When Tuoba Tian heard this, among the black gray on his face, there was only a pair of eyes that shone like stars, black and white, blinking and blinking, and he was a little surprised: "Is what you guessed true?"

Feng Feixue knew that he must have believed it. With his character, if the emperor really granted him a marriage, he would still have a quarrel with the emperor. It seemed that he couldn't tease him anymore.

Feng Feixue stood up, picked up a white handkerchief, and wiped the black dust from Tuobatian's face: "I'm joking with you, I believe the emperor has no intention of mentioning the marriage grant, no matter it is

I think both yours and mine will be quiet for a while."

Her movements were very gentle, as if she were cherishing a treasure, which made Tuobatian feel warm in his heart. When he raised his big hand and was about to grab Feng Feixue's small hand, Feng Feixue saw the cold eyes on the other side,

She quickly retracted her hand and put the handkerchief into Tuobatian's big hand with a gentle smile.

"You'd better wipe it yourself. Some people are watching the fire from the other side, which is a bit scary."

Tuobatian pursed his lips with a look of disappointment. He thought he could grab her with his big hands and hold her in his hand, but when he thought that this was the palace, such blatant flirting was a bit abrupt.

, he also looked back and saw that the male guests opposite him had returned to their seats one after another, and the people who had been looking at each other with cold eyes just now were Chen Qiong and the Yingli Wang Natujie beside him.

Tuobatian asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to find a way to deal with this King of Heroes? He has a romantic nature, and as long as he uses a beauty trick, he will definitely take the bait."

However, Feng Feixue observed Chen Qiong next to King Yingli. His eyes were dark and the corners of his lips were slightly curved, as if he had seen her and Tuoba Tian's plan, and he was also scheming against them.

"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, we should not act rashly. Chen Qiong is too insidious. If you really use this method to deal with King Yingli, you may fall into their trap."

Tuobatian raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you asking us to sit back and wait for death? This is not a good way."

Feng Feixue said with a smile: "You are just too impatient. The good show is yet to come. Just listen to me. I will find a way to make this charming King of Yingli go back to Northern Xinjiang in disgrace.

go."

"Okay, I'm waiting for that day. Whenever you need me, don't carry it by yourself. Do you understand?" He looked at the petite woman in front of him with some distress, although she gave the impression that she was powerful and omnipotent.

Devastated, nothing could stop her or knock her down, but he still

She felt how hard it was for her to fight alone like this. Prime Minister Lin's Mansion was a sinister and dark place. The eldest lady and several aunts and sisters there alone were enough for her to fight. However, the eldest lady's backers were too powerful.

, is Chen Guogong's mansion, a place full of generals and talented people.

How could she, a woman, stand up to such a powerful family? So even if he spared no effort, he would go all out to help the woman he liked, hold her in his arms, and protect her from any harm.

and danger.

After Feng Feixue heard Tuobatian's words, her heart felt really warm, just like a glass of warm water gradually warming her stomach, and finally flowing into her blood, reaching her once cold heart.

She nodded and smiled gratefully at Tuoba Tian, ​​but she hid the slight twinkling and warmth in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Tuobatian raised the corners of his lips like pear petals, smiled tenderly at her, turned and left.

However, Feng Feixue could not take her eyes away from his handsome back no matter what. It was not until he finally sat down on the seat that she slowly withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother rushed back to the Golden Dragon Hall. Half an hour later, the sky was gradually dyed red, as if plum petals were sprinkled on it in layers, and there was a beautiful scene.

But the Shoukang Palace was on fire. How could the Emperor and the Queen Mother be in the mood to continue hosting this annual banquet?

Soon, the New Year's Eve banquet was over. Feng Feixue and Aunt Liu helped the old lady get on the carriage of the Prime Minister's Palace and prepared to drive back. As soon as the carriage drove out of the palace gate and walked on the street, suddenly a car

The gorgeous carriage blocked the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Feng Feixue couldn't help but frown her slender eyebrows, and opened the curtain with her slender fingers. She saw a woman also lifted the curtain from the carriage on the opposite side, looking here.
