The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 106 Assassination
Emperor Cheng immediately became interested when he heard the words, and he agreed: "My concubine love is a clever idea, since it is your wish, then arrange a performance!"

After the imperial concubine got the order, she whispered a few words to the female officer beside her, and the female officer took the order to step back and make arrangements.

Chengfu Hall was originally built as the largest banquet palace at the beginning of its construction. The construction is actually very exquisite. Although the circular space in the center of the hall is used for ordinary performances, it also hides organs. Its floor can be moved and contracted. There is also a huge lotus stage that can be raised and lowered. Because there is no suitable dance to perform on it, this hidden stage has not been used.As for the flying dance this time, the imperial concubine asked people to arrange the flying dance according to the lotus stage as early as the beginning of the dance.

Suddenly there was a soft sound of pipa in the hall, and as the central stage shrank and moved, the hidden lotus stage slowly rose up. On the giant lotus stage, there were [-] people with double buns on their heads and bare shoulders and waists. Long skirts around the waist, colorful ribbons on the shoulders, slender and beautiful dancers, they are either in the shape of a wide open bow, or squatting with a pipa in their hands, as the giant lotus stage rotates, they seem to fly against the wind, moving with the syllables , respectively playing waist drum, clapper, flute, horizontal flute, lusheng, pipa, Ruan string, konghou and other instruments.

While expressing the scenes in the Feitian painting with dance movements, they played music together, and as the fragrance floated, the ceiling spun around. The dancers put down the instruments in their hands and flew up. They flew against the wind, as light as swallow , change the dancing posture, and bring to life the fairyland of freedom and joy, fairies playing among clouds and clouds.

Although the dance was beautiful, Li Sister was not attracted by it. When the dancers flew up, a dark light flashed quickly in her eyes, and she turned her head to Yunyu beside her and said in a low voice: "They were able to fly, they must have borrowed the inner family's lightness kung fu?"

Hearing this, Yunyu came back to her senses from the wonderful dance, and at the same time she felt vigilant in her heart: "Princess has good eyesight, these dancers are not weak in martial arts, they are only used for dancing, they are too overqualified."

Li Meiying's eyes tightened when she heard the words, her first reaction was to look at the imperial concubine, but she saw that the imperial concubine looked at the dancers with a surprised expression, her eyes were thoughtful.

"My concubine is really ingenious. These dancers can fly and dance without using human power, making the fairy's posture more realistic." Chengdi recovered from the wonderful dance, and praised the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine regained her senses when she heard the words, but shook her head: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this dancer. When the concubine first selected the dancer, she did choose a dancer with a slender figure and a good sense of jumping, but they definitely couldn't dance like this." high."

The imperial concubine had just finished speaking, and the dancers had slowly fallen back to the stage. They picked up the musical instruments on the lotus stage, shook them vigorously, and destroyed the musical instruments. They took out the weapons inside and stabbed at Emperor Cheng, saying: "Emperor Dog, Take your life."

Because of Li Meiying's reminder, Yunyu was well prepared, and when she saw that something was wrong, she protected Li Meiying to leave the seat and hide in a safe place. Wei Jinyang listened to the words of the two of them verbatim, Seeing the dancing girls approaching Emperor Cheng with swords, he said to An Fu, "You protect your son." After finishing speaking, he attacked the group of dancing girls.

Because of the imperial concubine's words, Emperor Cheng became vigilant. Seeing the dancer attacking, he pushed the imperial concubine away and said, "There are assassins, get out of here."

The imperial concubine was pushed to one side, but thanks to the hand of the female officer beside her, she was able to stabilize her body. When she looked back, she saw that the assassin's sword was approaching Chengdi's face. , picked up the cup of hot tea on the table and threw it at the assassin. As the assassin avoided the teacup, his assassination action stagnated. Taking this opportunity, the imperial concubine pulled Chengdi and said, "Your Majesty, leave with your concubine, it's too dangerous here." .”

Chengdi stood up as he said, and retreated from the imperial seat with the imperial concubine, leaving the queen alone on the wind seat.The target of the assassination escaped, and the killer seemed very angry, swiping his sword and slashing wildly, killing anyone he saw.

Li Meiying was protected by Yunyu and An Fu and retreated to the corner. At this time, Zhong Yan brought Mu Jinglian over to join him. His face was terrified, but his eyes were unusually calm.

"When someone kills someone, he chops it down, but she is merciful to the empress, she is blessed by the gods." Looking at the empress, Li Sister suddenly sneered.

Zhong Yan, who was protecting her and Mu Jinglian behind him, looked at the queen in shock, and a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Among the princes, the second prince and the third prince are weak scholars with no kung fu foundation at all. Fortunately, the servants around the two are very skilled, but they barely escaped the assassin's slashing and killing, while Wei Jinyang, Wei Haoyou and the four who are good at martial arts The prince, Wei Zejun, was caught by the killer, and he took care of other things for a moment. At this moment, a female killer saw that Emperor Cheng was not protected, so she gave up killing innocent people and attacked Emperor Cheng. Seeing the murderous aura coming from behind, he instinctively pushed the imperial concubine away, and was about to turn around to meet the enemy, when suddenly Empress Wu rushed to block him: "Your Majesty, be careful..."

Before Empress Wu could finish her sentence, she swallowed the second half of the sentence because the long sword pierced her chest. Seeing that she had killed the wrong person, the female assassin ruthlessly pulled back her long sword and was about to attack Emperor Cheng when the imperial guards The army rushed over and surrounded them. Eighteen female killers, seeing that there was no hope of escape, swallowed poison one after another and killed themselves, leaving no one alive.

At this moment, Emperor Cheng was not in the mood to take care of the assassin's affairs at all, he looked at Empress Wu who was lying in his arms with a weak breath.

"Prince doctor, pass on to the doctor quickly." Although Wei Haoyou and Empress Wu had a gap, they were mother and son after all. He was the first to react and ordered sternly.

Miss Su came to her senses, hurriedly stumbled out of the Chengfu Hall, and went to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial physician.

Emperor Cheng picked up Empress Wu and went to the central palace. Wei Jinyang did not follow Emperor Cheng, but came to Li Meiying's side. Seriously injured, I have to go to Zhonggong to have a look, you should be careful."

Li Meizhen nodded with a complicated expression, and watched Wei Jinyang leave. She lowered her eyes thoughtfully, isn't everything arranged by the queen?
"Yunyu, did the assassin's sword hit the queen's heart?" After a while, Li Sister suddenly asked in a low voice.

Yunyu and Zhongyan showed shocked expressions at the same time when they heard the words, and finally Yunyu slightly recalled the situation at that time, and said uncertainly: "The distance is a bit far, and the servants are not sure, but the location should be correct. .”

"Princess, why do you ask this? Is there something wrong?" Zhong Yan's heart moved, and he asked with uncertainty.
