System: Rescue the Blackened Prince

Chapter 57

Wei Ying stayed in Wen Li's bedroom all afternoon, and had to get up and leave because there was a reception banquet for the envoys of Donggui Kingdom and Princess Seya in the evening.

As the mother of the country, Wen Li should accompany the emperor to attend such a grand banquet, but now that she is pregnant, Wei Ying has banned all diplomatic activities.

Although Weiying felt that Weiying was making a big fuss, Wen Li swallowed all her complaints as soon as she thought of the child who was gone back then.

As the night fell slowly, everything in the world seemed to lose the brilliance of the day under the dark night.

However, the Golden Temple is still shining like its name.

The floor of the huge hall is paved with gold bricks, and the colored paintings of Hexi seals on the beams are dazzling.On the vermilion lacquer square platform of more than five feet, the golden lacquer carved dragon throne is imposing, and six tall dragon pillars stand on both sides.On the Panlongzhu, each golden dragon has a round bright pearl in its mouth, and its whole body is glowing with pearly light.The dots of pearl light and the golden floor complement each other, making people feel like they are in an illusory dream.

In the center of the main hall, dancers in neon clothes and feather clothes are singing and dancing, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly.

All the ministers present watched with gusto, but the emperor sitting on the throne seemed to be uninterested, and even withdrew halfway through the performance.

Princess Seya's complexion has become ugly since the emperor left the table. Although she has only been in the palace for a day, she has already heard a lot about how the current emperor loves the empress, and how the empress's love is really my luck. topic.

And the sum of these things together was not as bad as one piece of news——Hearing the good news from the Empress today, Long's heart was overjoyed.

#虚天铁雁, not just an adjective#
Seya pursed her lips, thinking that the emperor left the table in such a hurry, probably to visit the empress, her face became even uglier.

Cheng Meiren, who was sitting diagonally across from her, had secretly looked at the princess who was married from afar from the beginning of the banquet.Seeing her dark face at this moment, she could really compete with Jiang Jieyu next to her.

The corners of Cheng Meiren's mouth curled up almost invisibly, and she turned her gaze back to the dancer in the hall who was waving her sleeves and dancing.Her excellent dancing posture won applause from all the halls, even the Queen Mother admired it.But Cheng Meiren felt that this dance would definitely not be more exciting than another play tonight.

Due to the arrival of the envoys from the Donggui Kingdom, the security in the palace was much tighter than usual, and even Qian Lingwei had increased the number of patrolmen.

Pei Heng stood guard outside the Golden Light Hall, listening to the sound of silk, bamboo and drum music flowing from inside from a distance.

"Boss, I heard that the empress is happy." Sima Yan yawned, and elbowed the expressionless Pei Heng.

Hearing the words, Pei Heng turned his head to the side, looked at Sima Yan with a cold face, and said, "The Empress is not under my jurisdiction, and you will report to me next time when you have a happy event."

Sima Yan: "..."

He smacked his mouth and said boringly: "Boss, it's because of your tough character that you have never been able to get a wife."

Pei Heng snorted, and looked at Sima Yan with a bit of mockery in his eyes, "You are so weak, you can't find a wife either."

Sima Yan: "..."

Wait, it seems that the two of us are not talking about the same hard boss!
The two were still talking nonsense, Pei Heng caught a glimpse of the emperor walking out of the Golden Light Palace from the corner of his eyes, followed by the submissive Eunuch Li.

Pei Heng's eyes moved slightly, and just as he was about to turn his eyes away from the emperor in the distance, a gust of wind swept over his head, instantly disappearing the silver light above Pei Heng's head.

Pei Heng's expression suddenly turned pale.

Of course, that just now was not a gust of wind, but a person, a person who flew past Pei Heng with a whoosh.

The man in black moved quickly, but he still did not escape Pei Heng's sharp eyes. His feet were a little lighter, and he flew to follow the man in black.

Sima Yan next to him naturally also noticed the man in black who had just left so quickly, and hurriedly summoned the Qianling Guards on duty, some of them stepped up their guard, and some of them followed him and chased Pei Heng away.

Pei Heng chased the man in black for a while, and couldn't help frowning.This person's lightness skills are excellent, and he is very familiar with the roads in the palace and the defenses of the guards. He escaped all the way without disturbing a patrolling guard.

Most importantly, Pei Heng discovered that he was heading towards the inner palace.

If there are assassins in this palace, nine out of ten they are aimed at the emperor.Wouldn't be so lucky today to let myself bump into the remaining one?

Before Pei Heng could figure out a result in his mind, the man had already avoided the guards at the gate and directly entered the inner palace.Looking at the direction he was going, Pei Heng frowned even tighter.

That is the Queen's bedroom, Changle Palace.

Wen Li just had dinner at this time, and this dinner can be said to be... hard-won.

The emperor decreed that the imperial dining room opened a kitchen for the queen alone, and all the utensils and ingredients in it should be separated from other people's and used only by the queen.The three royal chefs who were in charge of the queen's meals cooked food for the queen only before the queen gave birth.Although this job looks a lot easier, it is actually accompanied by high risks.

Because as long as there is something wrong with the queen's meal, the lives of the three of them will also be lost.

In addition, the emperor specially assigned a dietary consultant for the three of them. This dietary consultant was none other than Doctor Wen from the Imperial Hospital.

Everything the queen eats in the future must be the most nutritious and reasonable dishes prepared for the queen after comprehensive consideration of various factors by the doctor Wen and the head chef of the imperial dining room.

On the way from the imperial dining room to the Changle Palace, the food was also escorted by special personnel. After entering the Changle Palace, it was the responsibility of the four people, Hongrui, Lvluofang, Lingfangxiao.

No matter which link goes wrong, the rest of the people must bear joint and several responsibilities.

Of course, Wen Li didn't know about this, just like she didn't know how the emperor threatened the palace people of Changle Palace before she woke up.

So in her mind, Weiying is still a pervert who can be rescued.

After Wen Li had eaten enough, she felt that her whole life was shining brightly.Holding Sanhuang leisurely and leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, Wen Li followed Sanhuang's hair every now and then.Since entering the palace, Sanhuang has eaten better than before, and his hair has become softer and shinier. Even though it is just a native dog, it still has the temperament and connotation of a noble concubine dog.

This kind of temperament and connotation, we affectionately call it soil.Hao.

Fangling Fangxiao, who was watching by the side, was frightened, afraid that the little dog would suddenly have a convulsion and hurt the empress.Several times he tried to pull the local tyrant yellow from Wen Li's arms, but Wen Li refused.

So Fang Ling and Fang Xiao continued to tremble beside them.

Suddenly there was a slight sound outside the door, and Wen Li, who was leaning comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch, sat up straight vigilantly, stretched her neck and looked out.

Fang Ling and Fang Xiao looked at the queen empress who suddenly behaved abnormally, and asked, "What orders does your empress have?"

Wen Li frowned, "Someone seems to have come in."

Fang Ling and Fang Xiao were slightly startled.

After the emperor left today, he specially dispatched a large group of guards to strengthen the defense of Changle Palace. At this moment, the surroundings are quiet. Could someone break into the heavily guarded Changle Palace without knowing it?

Fang Xiao winked at Fang Ling, walked up to Wen Li and said, "Empress Empress, please be safe and calm, this servant will go outside to check."

Wen Li nodded, and Fang Xiao stepped back.As soon as she stepped out the door, Fang Xiao froze in place.

A man in Qianlingwei's uniform was standing in the hall with solemn eyes, as if he was looking for something.Not to mention that other than the emperor, no other man has ever entered the Changle Palace, even in the entire palace, Fang Xiao rarely saw a man.

Especially such a handsome man.

Seeing Fang Xiao, Pei Heng moved his eyes, stepped forward and asked, "Where is the queen now?"

Pei Heng chased the man in black to the vicinity of the queen's bedroom, but there was no trace of the man in black.

What if the assassin is lost?The witty General Pei will tell you to find the person the assassin wants to assassinate, and then wait for the rabbit.

After Pei Heng asked Fang Xiao what to say, Fang Xiao neither answered nor called for help, but just stood there blankly.

When Pei Heng and Fang Xiao were in a stalemate, Wen Li, who had already lost her temper, came out from the inside, and was taken aback when she saw Pei Heng standing in the hall.

His facial expressions and movements are very similar to Fang Xiao's.

It's just that the queen was stunned by the fact that Qian Lingwei's uniform hadn't been changed!It seems that Weiying can still be rescued!
Seeing the intact Empress suddenly appear in the palace, General Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief.But it was also at this time that he realized that his actions had already crossed the line.

Just about to open my mouth to clarify this matter with the queen, the queen on the opposite side suddenly asked: "General Pei, have you eaten yet?"

Pei Heng: "..."

Seeing that Pei Heng didn't respond, Wen Li continued persistently: "I must have eaten by this time, so General Pei came here for a walk?"

Pei Heng choked, and knelt down on the ground, "The general offended me, please forgive me. It's just that the general followed a man in black and saw him sneaking in here."

Fang Ling turned pale with fright, Wen Li frowned, looked at Pei Heng and asked, "General Pei, are you sure he entered Changle Palace?"

"Sure." Pei Heng's tone was very firm.

Wen Li frowned when she heard this, "I've been here since the beginning, and I haven't seen anyone in black come in."

Pei Heng also frowned, "Maybe he is hiding, for the sake of your empress's safety, the last general has the audacity to ask to search Changle Palace."

Wen Li thought for a while, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Eunuch Li's high-pitched voice coming from outside the hall, "The emperor is here—"

At the moment when Wen Li and Pei Heng were in a daze, everyone in Changle Palace knelt down and shouted long live.

The moment Weiying saw Pei Heng, his gaze cooled down.Pei Heng hurriedly knelt down on the ground to say hello, Wei Ying looked at the people on the ground coldly, and her voice was extremely cold, "General Pei, can you explain to me why you appear in the Queen's bedroom late at night?"

The atmosphere in Changle Palace was solemn, and everyone could feel the anger that was about to burst out from the emperor.

Pei Heng opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but he heard Wei Ying say on top of his head: "General Pei, you have to think it over before you speak, if the answer doesn't satisfy me, he will be beheaded."
