Crown Jewels

Chapter 266
The breeze blew away the aroma of the wine, Shen Lanqing held the silver cup in her hand, and suddenly her mind was a little confused.

The sound of silk and bamboo is incessant in the ears, and it is elegant everywhere. In the center of the pavilion is a dancer dressed in colored forging, with enchanting figure and colorful sleeves flying. The dancers in the central pavilion are more charming under the shadow of the lights.

The guests were very excited, and while the lamps were on and off, no one noticed that the little eunuch, who was wearing a dark blue eunuch uniform, was walking in small steps, hurriedly holding the wine pot, and directly bumped into Shen Lanqing's body, the accident happened suddenly, Even Shen Lanqing reacted very quickly, and the dark green official robe was still stained with wine.

The silk music stops, and the singing and dancing are over.The suddenly raised male voice instantly attracted the eyes of everyone at the palace banquet.

Meng Zizhou hurriedly left Shen Lanqing behind, with the posture of a protector, and the baby's face could not help but be stained with anger. It was really that the eunuch was too reckless, and he was able to bump into Shen Lanqing directly on the banquet road.

The stern reprimand in the ear made the eunuch in navy blue robe tremble for a moment, he quickly withdrew his hands to distance himself from Shen Lanqing, and at the same time steadily held the wine pot in his hand. His eyes met, showing a bit of timidity and fear.

In the shadow of the lamp, no one noticed. The moment the jug was stabilized, a green cloudy shadow jumped under the shadows, clutching the purple blood and meridians on Shen Lanqing's wrist.

The green was extremely light, like the reflection of bamboo inadvertently, even if someone saw it, they didn't take it seriously, only Fu Sinian, who was wearing a bullfight suit behind the empress, frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of sternness.

The moment they looked at each other, the little eunuch's amber pupils made Shen Lanqing stunned for a moment, and the moment he lowered his head, Shen Lanqing quickly came back to his senses, and shook his head gently towards Meng Zizhou behind him, signaling that he was fine.

"How can this be all right?"

However, Meng Zizhou was a little distraught. If it was normal, Shen Lanqing would have changed into an official robe again. At most, it would be considered unlucky today, but the wine in the eunuch's jug today is the best poplar nectar, specially warmed in a copper furnace , the temperature is really scalding hot, can you feel good with Lin Lin on your body like this?
This somewhat restless voice, coupled with the status of Lord Meng Zizhou, Shen Lanqing felt that at the palace banquet, everyone's eyes were cast on the two of them, and at the same time, they also directly attracted the attention of the empress Gu Baozhu.

After a brief inquiry, the little eunuch was quickly taken down to be punished according to the palace rules, and he should be given three boards. Amidst Mencius Zhou's meddling clamor, Shen Lanqing was a little speechless. Finally, under Gu Baozhu's gesture , She was led by the servant girl to a nearby palace to change into a brand new official robe.

By the way, Empress Gu Baozhu took this opportunity to let Shen Lanqing fully show up in front of Lin'an officials. Zhou Huaijin was the guarantor before, but now she is Empress Gu Baozhu's face. The ten-year agreement made by the empress Gu Jun was also regarded as a fun talk by the officials present.

In addition, she directly asked the female officer of the Shangfu Bureau in the palace to take this opportunity to tailor Shen Lanqing's clothes, and specially made official robes for her to use in the court in the future.

As soon as this action came out, it could be seen that the empress attached great importance to Shen Lanqing. In the hearts of the officials in the field, Shen Lanqing's identity could not help but be secretly elevated again.

Shen Lanqing bid farewell to the empress, followed by escorting the female officials to the side hall, and put on a brand new black skirt robe, although it was a skirt robe, compared to other loose robes on her body, and she was born with fair skin, the black official robe was not It doesn't look stiff and dull, on the contrary, it complements her white wrists and neck even more.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the air outside is fresh.

Buried in the bottom of my heart was a lot of trivial matters, Shen Lanqing subconsciously walked along the gravel road beside the gazebo in a more shady direction, and unconsciously came to the Dingdong cool spring behind the rockery, and the occasional flickering lights flickered in and out However, Shen Lanqing's footsteps were suddenly paused by the screams coming from beside her ears.

Subconsciously, she buried her whole body on the side eaves of the rockery, not daring to breathe.

The muffled screams made people scratch their hearts and ears in the dull and silent night, their mouths and noses seemed to be covered, and the occasional overflowing voice was like fingernails scratching through iron sheets. Shen Lanqing heard it in her ears, and couldn't help but twitched her eyebrows. Frowning, simply looked in the direction of coming.

Shen Lanqing had explored the route ahead of time, lifted her embroidered shoes lightly, and when she was about to flee into the darkness, the low voice in her ear brought out a sternness and indifference that had never been seen in her memory, which made her footsteps stop abruptly.

Under the bright moonlight, the man in the bullfighting uniform and official cap was obviously handsome, but the indifference between his brows was like a cold pool in winter, revealing the bone-eating yin, and he seemed to have lost the compassion of ordinary people.

The sharp knife and dagger pierced through, severed the veins on the tendon of the ankle, and completely cut off the path behind the little eunuch in navy blue clothes. He couldn't hear it, but in his field of vision, Fu Sinian's sharp and indifferent appearance when he raised the knife and cut off his hamstring made Shen Lanqing horrified.

Ever since she returned to Lin'an City, even the officials in the court sometimes hated him and kept secret about him, Shen Lanqing has never had a moment, more deeply than now, to realize the light that was once hidden in her heart It is no longer proud and dazzling.

The sun seemed to fall into an abyss, completely cast into shadows.

He also became, no longer the familiar appearance... completely, strange.

The shadow of the bullfighting suit completely covered the little eunuch, and the severe pain made his face grim. When he met Fu Sinian's eyes, he trembled physiologically for a moment, but then he still clenched his teeth, and the tip of his tongue was about to pierce the poisonous blood sac. escape this torture.

Seeing this, Fu Sinian's brows were completely gloomy. In the shadows where the moonlight could not shine, his whole face was livid like Hell, and his right hand suddenly grabbed the young eunuch's throat. The blue veins were cut off.

Even though he wanted to die, the instinct of the body still made the little eunuch hold Fu Sinian's right hand tightly with both hands, and then subconsciously raised his neck in the moonlight, completely revealing his face.

The moment she saw her face, the pupils of Shen Lanqing who was hiding behind the rockery shrank fiercely, and the memory of the Tai Chi palace banquet flashed quickly, those amber eyes with exotic colors were just at the palace banquet, which would be hot and turbid. The little eunuch who spilled wine on his official robe.

The moonlight was hazy, the breeze was blowing slowly, and the escape instinct in her ears was the whimper, which made Shen Lanqingdai frown slightly, holding back the goosebumps that were about to appear, and followed the moonlight with her cold eyes, observing carefully Looking at the scene in front of the rockery, I dare not let go of any details.

The scene, dare not let go of half a minute of detail.

However, what is disappointing is that the little eunuch seemed to have collapsed to the limit, and his neck was suffocated by Fu Sinian, and he passed out directly. Shen Lanqing's gaze fell on Fu Sinian subconsciously. Lightly glanced at the eunuch who closed his amber eyes.

The breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, Fu Sinian slowly let go of his right hand, his eyes fell on the blood stains on the back of his hand, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he never let go of his vigilance. Cut off, the blood was evenly smeared on the dagger blade, even though the eunuch fell into a coma, the throat still overflowed with pain and muffled.

"Keep an eye on him—"
