Chapter 518 Accident
As the night was dark, Xiao Lingjiang changed into night clothes, escaped from the mansion, and then disappeared into the dark night.

That night, no one except He Xiangshan knew where she went.

Xiao Lingjiang was taken over by the emperor in the name of protecting him from the affairs of Buyuansi.Even if everyone didn't say anything, they still had suspicions in their hearts.

The words of the assassin at the foot of Yuhua Mountain that day were no longer heard by a small number of people.Coupled with the fact that Xiao Lingjiang, the princess of Yong'an who was always used by the emperor, did not leave home, they couldn't help but speculate whether this matter was going to involve her.

After all, her biological father was the highly respected Crown Prince Yiwen back then. However, once the palace changed and blood flowed into the East Palace, she was the only child left in Prince Yiwen's lineage.

The Rebel King and Prince Yiwen competed for the throne, but the unfavored King Su took advantage of it.

If she really had doubts about what happened back then, it would not be impossible for her to collude with Prince Yiwen's former ministers to assassinate the current Holy Majesty.

That being the case, was the palace change back then...

Everyone's heart trembled, and they didn't dare to think about it any more.

As the old saying goes, the winner is the king who loses the bandit.No matter what the real situation was back then, if the one sitting high on the throne now is the present one, then no one will look into it any further.

The matter has been settled, so the current Holy Majesty is the destiny, and those who want to make trouble are all rebellious officials and thieves.

Thinking of this, and thinking that He Xiangshan and He Zhongcheng, who had never done anything wrong in recent days, were impeached one after another in the court, many people suddenly felt a little alienated from Xiao Lingjiang and the He family.

On the surface, the emperor still treated Xiao Lingjiang and the He family with a kind and magnanimous attitude, but how could these old foxes fail to figure out the heart of the emperor?
Above the court, there are always treacherous clouds and waves, and there are always many villains who follow the wind to make the rudder.Even though Xiao Lingjiang didn't go out, he could roughly predict their attitudes.

She didn't care about that.

She and the He family had been in Yingdu for two years, and she was willing to be driven by the emperor to go to Zhushen Palace to sue the court. Although she offended many people, she also made her own connections.

At this moment, they will not be reduced to the point where the wall is overthrown by everyone.

What she cares about is the speed of the emperor's move.If it crosses the bottom line and really pushes her and the He family into a dilemma where they can't protect themselves, that's not acceptable.

The cloud wave in the court hall changed, and the praying ceremony proposed by Tuo Chi began soon.

Daoist Xuanyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Master Tuochi of Xifan are both figures with respect and detached status in the two countries. Now they are both praying for the two countries to cultivate together, which naturally attracts many people to watch.

The emperor had just encountered an assassination when he came down from Taiqing Temple, so logically speaking, it is not appropriate to leave the palace at this time.However, since he had already said his most intimate words to Tuo Chi that day, the emperor kept his promise, and it was impossible to change it.

It's just that during this trip, there are many more experts around him, and there are hidden guards lying around to pay close attention to the situation, so as to avoid any accidents.

As for Xiao Lingjiang, the matter of the assassin has not been clarified yet, although the emperor has never expressly restrained her, but he has a grudge against her after all, she, it is better not to join in the fun anymore.

She has seen many rituals of praying, and there is nothing unusual about them.However, she was full of doubts about the purpose of this person.

Since she couldn't go by herself, she simply asked Pei You to keep an eye on the group of people in Xifan for her to see what they wanted to do.

On the Yuhua Peak, Xuan Yuan and Tuo Chi showed their supernatural powers and cast spells to pray; in Yingdu City, Xiao Lingjiang slowly poured tea and thought about turning around.

However, not long after she had lunch, Pei You hurried to Xiao Lingjiang's residence.

Seeing that he was sweating in a hurry, and his expression was serious and anxious, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward to ask: "What's wrong?"

He went to Yuhuafeng together with the emperor today, if he came back with the emperor after the ceremony, it would not be so soon.

Could it be that something happened?Her heart skipped a beat.

Pei You rarely showed a worried look: "Ah Heng, now it seems that Tuo Chi's prayer is most likely aimed at you."

"At me?" Xiao Lingjiang was puzzled.

Pei You sighed, and said, "Today, there was an accident in Qizhu..."

The prayer was scheduled at Sishi, and everything went well at first, but in the middle of the prayer, a gust of evil wind suddenly came and blew out all the incense candles on the altar, and the Dazhou banner erected beside it was also blown away. The rolled one fell to the ground.

A thunderbolt fell in the air, and happened to land on the copper tripod placed in the middle of the altar. Immediately afterwards, the foot of the tripod broke, and with a "bang", it hit the ground heavily, making people's hearts tremble.

The faces of the people present suddenly changed.

Forget about the incense candles and flags.You know, this copper tripod symbolizes the Great Zhou, but now it has a broken foot and fell to the ground?
The so-called tripod stands on three legs, so that it can form a stable posture, representing the long-term prosperity of the country.Broken foot right now, but it indicates...

Don't be nervous, everyone.

The emperor sitting on the high platform looked even more ugly.

During the prayer ceremony, the Western Fans of the Great Zhou Dynasty each found holy objects that united the imperial spirit of the two countries and placed them on the altar.The Great Zhou's is the tripod of Chuanguo, while Xifan's is the national treasure sword.

A gust of evil wind blew by, Xifan prayed that all the things used were not damaged at all, but most of the things in Dazhou were destroyed.

Doesn't this mean that his position as an emperor will not be stable, and the national power of the Great Zhou will not be prosperous!

The veins in his right palm holding the armrest of the seat were exposed. The emperor held back his twitching temple, gritted his teeth and asked, "Daoist Xuan Yuan, what's going on?"

Xuanyuan heard the words and quickly apologized: "Saint, please forgive me. It should be because of the thunderbolt that made the tripod body brittle, and the legs of the tripod could not support the weight of the tripod body, so it broke and fell."

"I can see this." The emperor's voice was angry and cold, "What I'm asking is why the great wind alone blew out the incense candles of the Great Zhou and rolled over the banners of the Great Zhou. Why are you all alone hacking on the tripod of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Xuan Yuan was at a loss for words for a while, and came to Da Zhou alone, surely things must be different.Xuanmen believes in the destiny, such a vision, maybe it is the warning from the heaven, maybe someone is causing trouble, and there is chaos.

If you don't check, he can't tell...

However, with the current situation where everyone is staring at him, he can only calm people's hearts for the time being: "Returning to the saint, from a poor point of view, this matter is weird. Maybe someone did it on purpose to destroy today's prayer ceremony and stir up panic. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tuo Chi on the side answered: "What Taoist Xuanyuan said is just one side, the so-called heaven shows its changes, and it is a warning to the servants. Now this vision, maybe it is a warning from heaven..."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
