The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 246 Something happened

Chu Yingruo noticed this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was happiest when she saw Bai Qianxi embarrassed!

Protecting Bai Qianxi, Cheng Shaoyi helped her change into a new set of clothes. The emerald green color looked vibrant.

Wait for them to come back.

The banquet also officially started.

"Shaoyi, from now on you will follow Xier." Mrs. Cheng spoke seriously in a low voice, and Cheng Shaoyi nodded.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened in just a short while when she was away. Mrs. Cheng looked unhappy.

"Godmother, I'm actually fine."

"It won't work even if it's alright! From now on, Shaoyi must follow you wherever you go!"

If she didn't have something to do later, she would have wanted to bring the person with her.

Facing the two pairs of eyes staring at her, Bai Qianxi couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.

This sweet burden.

Soon, she figured it out. Anyway, she was not going anywhere from now on, so she might as well just stare at him.

Seeing her nod, Mrs. Cheng's expression eased a little.

As everyone took their seats one by one, Emperor Dongli finally appeared with the protagonist of the banquet.

Most of the people who came today were the wives of the various families. As for the men's seats, they were on the other side.

When Emperor Dongli finished his polite speech, the sound of stringed instruments began, and countless singing girls came.

The song is over.

It was time for each family to present their gifts. The process went very quickly. Bai Qianxi directly took out the gift that Ye Beiling had already prepared.

The value is moderate and the style does not stand out among the other gifts.

Just as Bai Qianxi said a few auspicious words and was about to come down, a voice suddenly rang out.

"County Lady, this should be the first time in your life that you have attended such a grand event. I wonder what you have given as a gift. Open it so that we can have a look together."

Someone in the crowd was booing.

No one expected such a sudden change to happen. The whole room fell silent. Among so many people who gave gifts, only Bai Qianxi was targeted.

"Queen, look..."

Suddenly, Emperor Dongli's voice sounded, and he looked at the person beside him.

The queen also reacted quickly, her expression softened instantly, "Giving gifts is just a way of showing your thoughts. The value of the gift is not important. What matters is that it is given."

"County Master, please go down first."

"The rest, continue."

The storm was thus calmed down. Seeing that the plan had failed, Chu Yingruo could only grit her teeth.

Ever since she was warned by her uncle, she couldn't even speak as freely as before, and she had to ask someone to help her even for such a small matter.

The key is, this guy is still a waste!
By the time the ladies had finished giving their gifts, half an hour had passed.

"I have received everyone's kindness. I am very satisfied today..." The Queen stood up and was about to speak again.

Just at this moment, a palace servant suddenly rushed in with a pale face.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's bad! Something happened! Someone's dead!"

"Shut up! Someone! Drag him away now!"

Seeing this person talking nonsense here, a palace maid with good eyesight spoke up quickly.

The ladies present couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

"and many more!"

Emperor Dongli stopped the man immediately and looked at the kneeling person with scrutiny, "What happened? Who is in trouble?"

If it was just an ordinary palace servant who got into trouble, this person would not have been so panicked, or even broke into the banquet.

"It was Concubine Yun. The one in trouble was Concubine Yun's little prince. We found him when we were passing by the pond. He was already floating in the air!" The palace servant said in a trembling voice.

Before Emperor Dongli could say anything, Concubine Yun beside him could no longer sit still.

"What are you talking about? How could anything happen to my child?" "You must have seen it wrong!"

"Maybe... it's not my child, maybe it's another little eunuch..."

"Yun Fei, calm down first."

Looking at the man who stood up on the spot with a slightly crazy look, Emperor Dongli spoke to comfort him.

He looked back at the person kneeling below, "Why don't you lead the way!"

"Yes Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the people on the ground quickly rolled over and crawled up to lead the way.

His Majesty and the Queen had already left, and the other ladies in charge didn't know what to do.

To follow or not to follow?
Finally, some people with high status in their families decided to follow.

After all, the accident happened at this critical juncture. If the investigation finds out that it is related to someone who was present, it would be troublesome if it cannot be explained clearly.

Bai Qianxi also followed the main group.

Soon, everyone arrived at the pond and the person had been salvaged.

Looking at the little man lying motionless on the ground with a pale face, that familiar face made Yun Fei completely unable to suppress the emotions of collapse in her heart.

Just pounced down.

"my child!"

"Who on earth hurt you? You are so well behaved on weekdays. Your mother has always taught you not to go to such a dangerous place!"

"Yun Fei, everyone is very sad about your child's accident, but it's not necessarily..."

"You mean my child fell down while playing here by himself? How is that possible! Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you know that he has always been very well behaved and never comes here..."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, please investigate... My son's death cannot be in vain!"

Seeing her collapse, those who had children present couldn't help but put themselves in her shoes.

"Someone! Go check!"

Emperor Dongli breathed heavily, and after giving an order, people quickly began to act.

"Your Majesty, I have made a discovery!"

"There are traces of a second person appearing here and pushing each other!" The guard pointed to a place with a small gap.

It was not difficult for everyone to see that this location had actually been covered up, but the traces looked fresh.

Emperor Dongli became increasingly gloomy, and even the people around him felt a chill.

"Who was the last person to see the little prince today?"

Everyone present was silent for a moment. They didn't know this either.

Besides, there are so many people in the palace today, coming and going, so even if they saw it, they would not deliberately remember it.

At this moment, someone's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Majesty, I know!"

"Today, the kid had an argument with the Xuyang County Lady in the main hall, and many people present saw it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately echoed them.

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Bai Qianxi, at least this can temporarily divert His Majesty's attention.

"what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dongli immediately looked at Bai Qianxi.

"I did see the little prince, and something unexpected did happen between us, but the little prince was fine at the time."

“And he was also taken away.”

"Then who took him away?" Emperor Dongli asked again.

"This..." Bai Qianxi was a little hesitant at this time. Even Yun Fei, who was crying on the ground, couldn't help but look at her.

"Your Majesty, I do not know this person, but if I were to see him again, I would definitely recognize him."
