A birthday banquet broke up in panic.
"Fortunately among the misfortunes, apart from Yu Jing and his men being seriously injured, only a few palace officials were slightly injured."
"This flint was modified with Sky Thunder. Making such a thing is not something that happens overnight. The origins of these people are unknown, and they may have other purposes."
"All the survivors of this troupe were imprisoned. Even after being tortured, nothing could be done. They must have been taken advantage of."
At this time, Bai Yujing was still unconscious on the couch. Outside the screen, Emperor Dongling looked a little irritable, while Prince Pingnan and Duke Liang also had serious expressions on their faces.
Soon, the Queen also came over with a slight frown. She bowed, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was frightened. She had already taken a rest after drinking tea to calm her fright. The concubine also settled down the old princess and the others. These assassins are simply It’s lawless!”
At this time, people in the Dongling Palace were in panic, and the imperial guards were searching everywhere, fearing that there would be remnants hiding in the dark.
The guards around Emperor Dongling have been strengthened. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not found, no one will be able to feel at ease.
"This time, even the young master and young lady of the Liang family almost lost their lives. Bai Yujing made such a mistake and neglected his duties. Your Majesty, please hold me accountable!"
The queen glanced coldly behind the screen, her words unable to hide the disgust.
King Pingnan and Duke Liang immediately looked at each other, and Duke Liang immediately said, "Qianqian and Yuanyi were only slightly injured. If Lord Bai hadn't rescued them at that time, I'm afraid these two children would not have escaped death."
"Although Yujing neglected his duty, he almost died this time. I can only say that the traitor was too cunning. I hope that your majesty will take a lighter sentence for the sake of protecting him wholeheartedly."
The two people's plea made the queen very dissatisfied, "If something like this happened, it would be no pity for him to die. If he is given a lighter sentence, how can he stop Youyou's mouth?"
She had long seen that Bai Yujing didn't care about his style, but the emperor and the queen mother were extremely indulgent towards him, making him arrogant and not taking her as the queen seriously.
At this time, Emperor Dongling didn't even look at the queen, but glanced anxiously behind the screen, "Why hasn't he woke up yet?"
The queen was completely ignored. She gritted her teeth secretly and felt that Bai Yujing deserved to die.
He is just the son of an old friend. General Bai sacrificed his life for the country. That was his duty. The emperor made mistakes in his decision-making that led to the death of his good brother in the battlefield, but he still felt guilty and made up for it after so many years. Isn't it enough?
The queen never thought that such an upright and open-minded General Bai would give birth to such a naughty child!
Bai Yujing relies on the emperor's attention to dominate the capital. Such a person will become a scourge to Dongling sooner or later!
And that face...
A woman who had been dead for many years appeared in the queen's mind. Every time she saw that face, she felt like a thorn had been planted in her heart, and she would not be able to pull it out!
"Master Bai is awake!"
There was a sound of surprise from behind the screen, and Emperor Dongling rushed in without caring about anything else.
"Child, what do you feel uncomfortable about?"
Xia Yunxian only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and in the blink of an eye Emperor Dongling was already sitting beside the couch. There seemed to be no one else in his eyes. Seeing that Bai Yujing had his eyes open but showed no reaction, he suddenly became anxious again.
"We must cure him at all costs!" He almost roared, and the envoy of Huelao Hospital next to him immediately replied.
"Master Bai suffered all superficial injuries. He is just a little weak due to excessive blood loss. It will take a few months to recover and he will be fine."
After hearing this, Emperor Dongling breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he felt the dissatisfied gaze of the queen behind him, and then he remembered what she had just said.
"Yu Jing, I entrusted you with such an important task, but something went wrong in the end. You are to blame, so I will suspend you from your post and fine you another half a year's salary!"
Emperor Dongling pretended to be stern, and the queen's eyes suddenly darkened.
Isn't suspending his duties just to let him have a good rest?
A half-year fine is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Bai Yujing, a traitorous minister who usually makes money in vain.
So again!
He wasn't even thrown into jail and whipped severely like he had done before!
In the eyes of others, although the emperor valued Bai Yujing, he was also strict and would be beaten if he made a small mistake. However, the queen knew that if something big happened, she would only take it lightly.
But Jun Wuxi said that if she said anything more at this moment, it would be disrespectful to His Majesty.
Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed, and she finally understood why she felt that the emperor and Bai Yujing were unusually close before.
Their expressions and habits were so similar.
Even when she roared just now, it reminded her of Bai Yujing's nervous and anxious look at the low wall.
Is she worrying too much?
Perhaps it's because the sons of old friends have more personal contact with each other, so they unconsciously imitate each other's behavior?
At this moment, Bai Yujing suddenly gave an ugly smile and said, "Wei, Weichen accepts the punishment... It's just that Weichen has a merciless request."
"No matter what happens, let's talk about it after you get better!"
They were all injured like this, and their voices were so weak that it made him uncomfortable to hear them!
"Your Majesty, thanks to Miss Xia this time, otherwise there would have been one more corpse in the square than Wei Chen."
"Nonsense! I won't let anything happen to you!"
When Xia Yunxian mentioned her to Bai Yujing, her heart skipped a beat, always feeling that something bad was going to happen soon.
I saw Emperor Dongling looking over, with a bit of relief in his eyes, "It is true that a tiger father has no dog daughter. I remember that General Xia is also an expert in archery. Miss Xia has made a contribution this time, so she will naturally be rewarded."
"Your Majesty, she saved me, but she also became a thorn in the eyes of others. I don't want to repay her with kindness, so... I beg your Majesty to grant me a marriage!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a strange silence all around.
King Pingnan's face darkened. Didn't this bastard say he didn't want to repay kindness with hatred?
Marriage?
If she becomes his unmarried wife, then she will become the target of public criticism!
Damn it! You were seriously injured and you took advantage of others' danger!
"Your Majesty, Lord Bai was injured and so he is unconscious. He can't say or do anything!" Liang Guogong also spoke, because he could clearly feel the displeasure spreading from Emperor Dongling's body.
Can’t count?
However, the way Emperor Dongling looked at Xia Yunxian changed. The more confused he became, the more truthful his words became.
It's not that he hasn't heard the gossip outside, he's just used to it and doesn't take it to heart.
But now that Bai Yujing brought it up personally in front of him, he had to think carefully.
Without waiting for his response, the man on the couch closed his eyes again, but chuckled, "It doesn't matter even if His Majesty doesn't grant the marriage, I will make the final decision on my own marriage."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately took a breath.
Make the decision yourself?
So what he meant by this was just to inform His Majesty?
This bastard, taking advantage of the fact that His Majesty was reluctant to punish him while he was seriously injured, he dared to say anything!
