Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

When she left the palace this time, Shen Wei only brought two of her trusted followers, Cai Lian and Ji Xiang. Cai Ping and Rong Mama stayed in the palace to maintain order in the harem.

Cai Lian replied: "Master, it will take another half an hour. Eat some fruit first to fill your stomach."

Cailian brought a plate of candied fruits.

Shen Wei had just finished eating half a plate of fruit when she suddenly heard Eunuch Deshun calling out, "My Lady! My Lady!"

Deshun staggered over, his face covered in sweat. He said, "Master! The emperor asked you to return to the imperial farm as soon as possible to hide - a group of assassins came during the plowing ceremony, and the guards are resisting them."

Shen Wei asked: "Is the emperor in danger?"

Deshun: "The Tiger Guards, Imperial Guards, and City Guards are all here. The Emperor will be safe."

Shen Wei stood up quickly and finished the remaining candied fruit: "Cai Ping, immediately ask the ladies to come to the imperial manor - tell them that I have prepared a lunch at the imperial manor, and everyone must be seated. Do not spread the news of the assassin to avoid panic."

Caiping has been with Shen Wei for many years and is always calm when faced with major events. She calmly led the eunuchs to pass on the message.

After a while, the ladies of honor returned one after another, and entered the imperial estate with smiles on their faces for the banquet, completely unaware that the emperor next door had been assassinated.

The imperial manor was elegantly decorated, and the years were peaceful. The female members of the family were delighted to attend the banquet, toasting and chatting with laughter.

Shen Wei sat behind a beaded curtain, separated from the other women. Eunuch Deshun leaned over and told Shen Wei in detail what happened during the plowing ceremony.

It turns out that in the ceremony of the personal farming ceremony, there is a ceremony called "One Hundred People Farming Together". That is, two hundred farmers from Yanjing were summoned to work on the same piece of land with the emperor and plow the fields together.

It can be understood as "extras".

These two hundred farmers were carefully selected by officials from the Ministry of Rites and had clean family backgrounds. However, during the ploughing ceremony, they pulled out hidden blades from their farming tools and attempted to assassinate the emperor.

Shen Wei pondered: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites made so many mistakes that they put a group of assassins on the list of farmers."

"The Imperial Guards are all out to capture these assassins alive." Seeing Shen Wei was worried, Eunuch Deshun comforted her, "My Lord, don't worry. The Emperor has already made preparations."

Shen Wei waited patiently for half an hour, but no news came from outside.

She couldn't wait any longer.

Instead of wasting time waiting, it is better to go out and check the situation to see whether Li Yuanjing is dead or not.

She had to prepare for the worst - if Li Yuanjing unfortunately died, she needed to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and then write a letter to her brother Shen Mieyue in Liangzhou, asking him to return to Beijing quickly to support her and help her son take the throne as soon as possible.

If Li Yuanjing was still alive, she would go to find him regardless of her own safety, which would also be an expression of love.

Shen Wei quickly changed into casual clothes, hid a dagger in her sleeve, and took the four tiger guards assigned to her by Li Yuanjing, preparing to go out to look for Li Yuanjing.

"Master, I will go with you!" Cai Lian grabbed Shen Wei's sleeve.

Shen Wei patted her hands and said, "You stay here and watch over these women. Don't let them act rashly. I have four tiger guards around me. No one can hurt me."

Cai Lian was worried and nodded with sobs.

...

Shen Wei walked quickly through the mountain trail. Four tiger guards followed behind Shen Wei, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

I didn't expect that the delicate lady in the palace could run so fast in the mountains.

In spring, the mountains and fields are full of flowers, and a rushing river runs through them. Shen Wei glimpsed the tents in the distance, which were full of people. It was the grand ceremony of the Farming Ceremony. She could only see many people, but didn't know the details.

"My Concubine, be careful!" A tiger guard stood in front of Shen Wei and blocked the arrow that was coming through the air.

Shen Wei slammed on the brakes, slid her feet, and quickly hid behind a tree, leaving the battlefield to the four highly skilled tiger guards.

A group of assassins suddenly appeared from nowhere, and Shen Wei happened to see them. Shen Wei hid behind a huge locust tree, and the sound of swords clashing was in her ears, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and carefully stuck half of her head out to observe the battle situation. If the four tiger guards were no match for her, she would run away immediately and never look back.

Shen Wei leaned against the trunk of the locust tree and calmed her rapid breathing.

Suddenly, a bony hand quietly landed on her shoulder and patted it gently. Shen Wei instantly pulled out the dagger from her sleeve, turned around and stabbed -

puff-

The sound of a knife blade scraping across skin.

Li Yuanli held the sharp blade of the dagger firmly in his right hand, bright red blood dripping from his palm. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "You are so fierce."

Shen Wei stared at the strange yet familiar handsome face in front of her.

She asked, "Who are you?"

Li Yuanli sighed in disappointment: "My memory is really bad."

Shen Wei got goose bumps on her arms. These words made it sound as if she, Shen Wei, was some scumbag who abandoned her husband and children.

Shen Wei looked at this charming and handsome face. This face was extremely beautiful, charming and androgynous, with delicate and flying eyes, revealing a bit of evil. He was wearing a crimson purple suit and had a slender figure.

Over the years, Shen Wei had met many people of all kinds and encountered many complicated things. She tried to recall for a moment, and finally remembered the person in front of her. She asked tentatively, "King Heng?"

At that moment, Shen Wei figured out a lot of things.

Li Yuanjing was assassinated during the Qingeng Ceremony, and it was most likely done by the guy in front of him.

The Southern Chu envoy "Lu Xiao" who broke into the imperial garden of the harem was most likely this guy in disguise.

The dignified Emperor of Nanchu is so idle that he disguises himself and runs to Qing State, causing trouble right under the nose of the Emperor of Qing State!

This emperor is too unrestrained.

After recognizing that the person in front of her was Prince Heng Li Yuanli, Shen Wei was not afraid at all. She swung the dagger in her hand again, trying to stab him to death on the spot.

"Tsk, you are still so fierce." Li Yuanli held the dagger firmly, his palm was almost cut by the blade, and blood was still flowing.

His palm was stinging, and the sharp blade had cut through the tendons and bones in his palm. His right hand might be crippled, but Li Yuanli even had the leisure to use his left hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His charming eyes were fixed on Shen Wei, with excitement flashing in them.

Shen Wei took a breath of cold air.

The Emperor of Nanchu behaves so strangely, like a bloodthirsty psychopath.

The more ruthless she was, the more excited Li Yuanli became.

Shen Wei sneered: "The guards at the Qingeng Ceremony are very strict. You can't kill the emperor even if you summon more assassins. You know that you are going to die, but you still rush into the fire. What are you planning?"

Li Yuanli looked at Shen Wei's plain and fair face, his eyes as fiery as fire. He memorized every inch of Shen Wei's face and engraved it in his heart.

The corners of his lips curled slightly: "I came for you, do you believe it?"

Shen Wei turned the dagger, and the dagger went deeper: "I don't believe it."

Li Yuanli sighed: "I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, but you are so cold and indifferent."

His eyes were so weird that Shen Wei felt uncomfortable all over.

On the other side of the locust tree, the tiger guards and Li Yuanli's men were still fighting. Li Yuanli pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, realizing that his men were at a disadvantage and that it was not appropriate to stay here for long. He exerted force with his right hand and snatched Shen Wei's dagger.

laugh--

Blood splattered.

Li Yuanli put Shen Wei's dagger into his pocket with great care, and politely invited her: "The flowers are in full bloom, accompany me to appreciate them."

Shen Wei kicked him and said viciously, "Go to your grave and admire paper flowers!"
