In fact, the chaos only lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and then Ouchi guards came over to disperse the bee formation.
When the lights came back on, the scene was so embarrassing!
Countless plates, bowls, and wine cups were smashed, and fruits and dishes were scattered all over the floor.
The women's hair is disheveled and their clothes are disheveled. Some were stung by bees, and some twisted their legs and waists, grimacing in pain.
The maids and eunuchs were even more injured. One timid palace maid was so frightened that she was stung by a bee and fainted.
But there were some who were fine. The queen was protected by everyone and was not injured at all.
Concubine Xian was stung several times and twisted her waist in order to protect the queen.
Concubine Li's forehead was swollen, and the corners of Concubine Ying's mouth were broken.
Concubine Fu was fine, but she lost one of her shoes in the chaos.
But she didn't care about looking for shoes, and hurriedly looked for Lan Ning's figure in the crowd: "Where is A Ning?! Where is A Ning?"
Concubine Ying was also busy looking after her niece. When she saw Ma Feiyan huddled there, she hurried over to check.
"Feiyan, what's wrong with you? Where are you injured?" Concubine Ying stretched out her hand to push away the messy hair from Ma's forehead. Seeing that her face was as pale as paper, she suddenly felt bad.
"Aunt," Ma Feiyan was furious, "My stomach... hurts..."
"Where is the person following?! Is he dead?! Call the doctor quickly!" Concubine Ying's eyes turned red.
As she shouted, everyone gathered around.
The two maids came forward clumsily and tried to lift Ma up.
After being glared at by Concubine Ying, she was too frightened to move.
Someone with sharp eyes saw blood stains under Ma's body and shouted: "No! It's red! Take her to the Imperial Hospital quickly!"
Everyone hurriedly got a spring stool over and lifted Ma up.
From the beginning to the end, Ma's hands tightly protected her belly, as if as long as she did this, the child in her belly would be fine.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Fu panicked even more, fearing that Lan Ning might also make a mistake.
"Don't worry, my dear, the fifth princess is here!" Xue Hengzhao took Concubine Fu's hand and walked to the incense table dedicated to the Moon God. He lifted the brocade curtain under the incense table and Lan Ning sat inside.
Her belly was as round as a full moon, which was extremely reassuring.
"Amitabha!" Concubine Fu's heart finally fell to the ground, she couldn't help but clasping her hands together and shedding tears.
At this point, the banquet can no longer go on.
The queen then ordered everyone to go back to the palace first, and if anyone was injured, call the royal doctor for careful diagnosis and treatment.
Lan Ning and Concubine Fu returned to Furong Palace, and after sending away all the irrelevant people, they told Concubine Fu the truth: "What happened tonight was that someone wanted to harm my daughter-in-law. If Heng Zhao and others hadn't protected me, my daughter-in-law and Concubine Fu would have been killed." The baby in the belly will definitely die."
Concubine Fu was shocked when she heard this and asked quickly: "How could this happen? Who is it?"
"It's the second prince's concubine," Lan Ning said with lingering fear, "I can't be wrong."
"But she's not..." Although Concubine Fu knew that Ma Shi wanted to kill Lan Ning, but this time Lan Ning was safe and sound, but Ma Shi had already shown signs of miscarriage.
"Mother, Concubine, Heng Zhao knows the whole thing best, and she is also very articulate. Ask her to explain it in detail from beginning to end!" Lan Ning glanced at Xue Heng Zhao, her eyes full of trust and admiration.
"So that the empress will know that this servant became suspicious at the first sight of the two unfamiliar maids brought by the second prince." Xue Hengzhao spoke calmly, "The skin color of the two maids is dark and red. , and the hands and feet are thick.
It doesn't look like she is serving the master personally, not to mention that the second prince and concubine are especially delicate after pregnancy. How could they change the people who always serve around her so well?
In addition, the fourth prince's concubine had abdominal pain for no reason. She was seated next to the fifth prince's concubine. It was obvious that someone was afraid that she would get in the way, so they took action.
At this point, the servant could only guess that the two people around the second prince and concubine would attack the fifth prince and concubine, but she did not know what opportunity they would take.
So I quietly found the Chief Guard before the banquet and asked him to call Xiao Liuzi over. After all, eunuchs are stronger and more likely to protect the fifth prince and concubine.
We also told our people that if someone wants to harm the fifth prince’s concubine, we must be careful.
Then the bee array rushed over, and the scene was chaotic for a while. The slaves knew that they wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to commit crimes.
He pretended to cover the fifth prince's concubine with a cloth. After the lights were extinguished, he immediately asked Xiao Liuzi to replace the fifth prince's concubine and get into the cloth curtain, and then secretly hid the fifth prince's concubine under the confession.
Sure enough, after a while, the two people really touched her and threw what they thought was the fifth prince's concubine. "
"What Heng Zhao said is true. My daughter-in-law hid under the incense table and watched carefully. Those two people were very skilled and very strong. They knocked out several of us.
If it weren't for Heng Zhao's reminder, I wouldn't have been able to escape this disaster. "Lan Ning saw the thrilling scene with her own eyes and will never forget it for the rest of her life.
"My Lady, Xiao Liuzi is back and he's outside." Wei Zhong said, "My Lady, can you let him in?"
"Tell him to come in." Concubine Fu's voice couldn't help but tremble. This was a blatant murder, and Madam Ma was actually so mad!
Xiao Liuzi limped in and said hello first.
Concubine Fu asked him: "Where are you injured? Does it matter?"
Xiao Liuzi said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, my slave, I just scratched my skin a little.
Thanks to Sister Hengzhao, she asked her slave to stuff a big pillow into her clothes, otherwise her internal organs would be injured. "
"It seems that all this happened today was designed by Ma. It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of others. In the end, it was she who suffered the retribution."
"Mother, if this happens, she will definitely hate us even more." Lan Ning couldn't help but worry, "It's even more impossible for her to give up."
Before Concubine Fu could say anything, the messenger eunuch came in and said that the fourth prince's concubine was here.
So everyone had to stop talking. After Mrs. Yu came in, she ran to Lan Ning first: "Fifth brother and sister, are you okay? I couldn't stand the torment at that time, so I found a place to rest for the time being. When I went back, I found that everyone had dispersed. It was only when I asked that I found out something was wrong.”
"Sister-in-law Fourth, don't worry, I'm fine, nothing's wrong." Lan Ning smiled softly, "I'm just a little scared."
"Where did you come from?" Concubine Fu asked Mrs. Yu.
"I just went to see my second sister-in-law," Mrs. Yu said with a sad expression, "Her baby was not saved after all. It is a male fetus and has already taken shape.
Everyone tried to persuade her, but she couldn't listen to anyone's words. She had fainted from crying several times. "
Mrs. Yu said a few more words here before leaving the palace.
Concubine Fu ordered her to be sent out alive.
She turned around and said to Lan Ning: "It's getting late and you were frightened again. Go back and rest for a while! Don't come into the palace these days. Be more careful."
Lan Ning was silent at first, then summoned up the courage to ask: "Mother, concubine, what should we do in the future?"
Concubine Fu was silent for a long time, and in the end she didn't speak, but just let out a long sigh.
In the palace ladies' bedroom, several people applied medicine to each other.
"Hengzhao, what's wrong with your arm? Why can't you seem to lift it up?" Fangdian asked Xue Hengzhao.
"Nothing, I bumped my shoulder." Xue Hengzhao said nonchalantly.
"Let's see, put some bruise medicine on it!" Tan Yue came over and pulled off her sleeves.
I saw a long stiff mark on Xue Hengzhao's snow-white arm, like the mark left by hitting the edge of the table.
