After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 86 Unfortunate trick
Mu Zheng also knew that what Lin Youyi said was correct.

Just like back then, it was reasonable for him to warn Lin Youyi not to speak up.

However, when he caught a glimpse of the clothes again, he still couldn't help being annoyed, and secretly made a decision.

On the day of the palace banquet, General Lei was not like Xiao Yu'an in his previous life, who achieved success immediately and won the battle quickly.

Even Lin Youyi had to admit that even though she and Xiao Yu'an were at odds with each other, Xiao Yu'an's talent for commanding troops was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary generals.

When it was Lin Youyi's turn to perform the dance, she still felt very uneasy in her heart.

Fortunately, her repeated rehearsals came in handy, and at first, everything went well.

Until Lin Youyi tied the ribbon with her hands, like a goddess of the Nine Heavens, and flew into the air, there was thunderous applause during the banquet, and even the emperor couldn't help being amazed, Longyan was very happy.

However, the moment Lin Youyi flew down holding the ribbon and landed on her toes...

Lin Youyi suddenly felt a sharp tingling pain from her toes!
In just a moment, Lin Youyi's facial features were distorted in pain, and she fell to her knees violently!
Mu Zheng saw from a distance that Lin Youyi seemed a little unusual, but fortunately, at the same time, the supporting dancers rushed forward and surrounded her.

Lin Youyi took this opportunity to look down and found that the tip of her shoe had been stained red with blood.

However, the time for this link was too short, and Lin Youyi had no time to take off her dancing shoes.

Seeing that the supporting dancers had spread out in a pattern of petals, Lin Youyi gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and stood up from the stage.

After the supporting dancers dispersed, Lin Youyi danced again.

At the end of the song, Lin Youyi stepped down from the stage.

She couldn't stand anymore, but just when she was about to retreat, the emperor suddenly stopped her.

"As Concubine Xiao said, the four daughters of the Hou's Mansion are indeed dancing with extraordinary postures. They dance like a phoenix flying into the sky, just like a mysterious girl dancing with a phoenix falling into the nine heavens. Well, you should be rewarded for dancing well!"

"Thanks to the emperor's absurd praise, the little girl is ashamed to be worthy of it. The honor of the emperor who can do it is already the greatest reward for the little girl."

Lin Youyi's face was pale, and her voice was almost too weak.

The more Mu Zheng looked at Lin Youyi, the more he felt that something was wrong with her, especially her pale complexion, which made people worry.

"Brother Huang, don't be in a hurry for rewards or something. You have to let her think about it before asking for another reward. Why don't you let her retreat first and take a rest."

"Hahahaha, what the emperor said is true, but this girl has done a good job in performing dances, so give her a seat!"

Lin Youyi felt dizzy for a while, and when she heard that the emperor wanted to invite her to the table, she hurriedly looked anxiously at Mu Zheng.

In front of everyone, Mu Zheng couldn't refute the emperor's face.

In desperation, he turned sideways and said.

"Brother Huang, there is no need to add another table, let her sit next to Brother Huang for a while."

As soon as Mu Zheng's words came out, the eyes of everyone at the banquet were all focused on him and Lin Youyi, and they began to scrutinize them repeatedly.

Especially the emperor!
Before, he had discussed with the empress dowager so many times, and wanted to choose a noble daughter from a famous family as a marriage gift for Mu Zheng, but Mu Zheng sternly rejected them all!
Unexpectedly, he would be so interested in the fourth girl of Chengyang Hou Mansion!
Lin Youyi gritted her teeth, holding on to the last bit of patience, and finally walked to Mu Zheng's side.

Just as she was about to bow to Mu Zheng, Mu Zheng stretched out his hand to support her, and pulled her back to sit beside her.

"What's wrong with you? But what's wrong?"

"My lord... I..."

Lin Youyi was so weak that she couldn't even speak because of excessive blood loss.

Since she couldn't say it, Lin Youyi could only grab the corner of the skirt and lift it up a little bit.

Following Lin Youyi's gaze, Mu Zheng saw that her dancing shoes were already soaked in blood, and the blood color was dark red. Mu Zheng was so shocked that he was instantly furious.

"How could this be?"

"Don't...don't say anything..."

Lin Youyi's voice was weak and weak, and the moment she finished speaking, she only felt a burst of whiteness in front of her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.

After Mu Zheng saw Lin Youyi's body swaying for a while, she suddenly fell backwards like a swaying fallen leaf.

Mu Zheng called Lin Youyi in shock, and when he found that she didn't respond, he hugged her tightly and quickly sent her to the ear room of the apse.

Although the emperor did not leave the meeting, he also announced that the imperial doctor came to diagnose Lin Youyi's pulse.

Marquis Chengyang and Xiao Yuan resigned to the emperor together, they left the table and followed Mu Zheng to the apse.

All the people at the banquet saw with their own eyes that Prince Rui, who had remained calm before Mount Tai collapsed, lost his inch in shock because of a little girl.

In the ear room, Mu Zheng looked anxiously at Rong Cheng.

"How is she? Why did she lose so much blood and suddenly passed out?"

"My lord, don't be impatient, and give me some time."

Rongcheng first checked Lin Youyi's pulse, and then checked the injury on her foot.

After confirming her injury, he ordered the palace servants and the medicine boy to make their own preparations.

Finally, Rongcheng took Lin Youyi's shoes and came to Mu Zheng.

"Please look, my lord, the problem lies in Miss Lin's dancing shoes."

Mu Zheng took Lin Youyi's dancing shoes and looked in the direction of Rongcheng's finger, only then did he realize that there was a barely detectable thin needle point stuck at the toe of the dancing shoes.

Lin Youyi's dancing shoes are different from those of other dancers, probably for the convenience of putting the toes on the bottom and spinning.

Therefore, the toes of her dancing shoes are thicker and flatter than ordinary dancing shoes.

The thin needle is short and sharp, if you don't land on your toes hard, you can't feel it.

That's why, when Lin Youyi performed the dance before, everything was safe and sound.

It wasn't until she twirled and fell with the ribbon and landed on her toes, that she couldn't bear the sudden tingling, and suddenly knelt down on the stage!

"Then her feet are all right?"

"It's not a serious problem. Although the wound is very small, the amount of bleeding is heavy. Miss Lin still needs to rest in bed for a period of time to recover her blood."

"Okay, if Brother Huang asks, you can answer truthfully. If someone else... you can just say that she practiced dancing for months and was overworked, so weak and overwhelmed that she fainted."

"Yes, the subordinate understands."

After explaining, Mu Zheng took Lin Youyi's dancing shoes and angrily walked out of the ear room.

As soon as Chengyang Hou saw Mu Zheng coming out, he hurried up to meet him.

"My lord, how is Youyi?"

"How? The prestige of the Marquis of Chengyang has shocked the whole country, but it is unimaginable that he can't even control a small back house!"

"What does the prince mean by this?"

"Master Hou, you can see for yourself!"

Mu Zheng was so angry that he threw Lin Youyi's dancing shoe heavily into the hands of Marquis Chengyang.
