The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 328

Li Ying came off with a sword in his hand, and performed a sword dance on the blanket. He was dressed in a white robe and a jade crown. He stepped forward slightly with his left foot, but the long sword turned back into the sky, causing the ring around his waist to jingle. rattle.Swish, swipe, swipe a few swords, point, stab, or pick, the body shape is erratic, sometimes left and right, looking ahead, sometimes behind, "The white horse is decorated with gold, galloping north and west, may I ask who's son?" , you are a knight-errant!" The clear and bright voice of reciting poems coupled with his vigorous body and sharp eyes made everyone in the hall applaud!
Li Yao clapped her hands and shouted loudly: "This is Cao Zijian's "White Horse Chapter"! We brothers have recited it on weekdays, but when it comes to the mouth of the second brother, it is so powerful!"

Li Hao waved his fan and praised: "Coupled with the second brother's sword dance, it is really more exciting than Cao Zijian's sword dance for Cao Cao at Tongque Terrace!"

Li Yao could not help muttering inwardly when she heard Li Mao's words of admiration.

Qing Ying watched the man she adored keep walking around with a sword in the field, and was still chanting Cao Zhi's famous poem, and her heart couldn't be more excited. This "White Horse Chapter" is a famous poem by Cao Zhi, son of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms. It is a scene of a good man who wants to serve his country on a horse and rushes to the battlefield, but seeing Li Ying holding a sword in a heroic manner, because of the rapid running, the corners of his robe are being hunted by the wind in the palace, and the seemingly frail In fact, the prince's martial arts are world-class, and everyone in the palace praises him.

Guo Ziyi was in the army and had the most experience in fencing. Seeing Li Ying's sword dance at this time, he also praised: "The crown prince's sword is not only beautiful to dance, but also can be used in actual combat on the battlefield. Its wrist strength is extraordinary. It must be Swordsmanship has reached perfection!"

Li Longji is also a master of swordsmanship. Seeing that Li Ying's movements are fast and slow, with many killer moves, he also nodded slightly to express his appreciation.

Li Linfu said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty! You have been busy with state affairs in recent years, and you haven't tested your princes' martial arts for a long time. Why don't you hold a spring hunt around the Shangsi Festival and let your princes show their skills!"

After hearing this, Li Longji smiled and said: "This proposal from Li Qing's family is very good! I also want to know which of my many sons are outstanding enough! The spring hunting will be held on the tenth day of the next month, and you will manage it!"

"My minister complies with the order!" Li Linfu was quite happy when he saw that the premeditated plan had succeeded.He wholeheartedly wanted to recommend Li Mao as the crown prince, but Li Mao was young and always gave people the feeling of being playful and discouraged. He had to stand out in such a big competition in order to attract more courtiers to serve him!Therefore, in this big competition, he has already figured out a way to make Li Ying lose to Li Mao, thereby suppressing the prince's party and improving the reputation of the birthday king Li Mao.

Chang Xi didn't pay attention to these, but pointed at Li Ying in the hall, and asked suspiciously: "Look, Your Majesty, Ying Er's footsteps are staggering, is this Drunken Sword?"

Li Longji took a closer look, only to realize that Li Ying's footsteps were indeed much lighter than before, and his figure was shaking slightly.

The ministers also noticed the strangeness, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what happened to the prince!
Li Mao turned to Li Heng and said, "Third Brother, is Second Brother drunk?"

Li Heng shook his head in confusion, but saw that Li Ying's swordsmanship became more and more chaotic, and he was running quickly on the hall, the green awn on the sword flashed into blue light, and he exuded a cool air secretly.

Qing Ying was ecstasy watching it at first, but now she was really taken aback!He drank so much Zhao wine just now, so don't get drunk and make a fool of yourself in the hall. Could it be that Li Linfu and others picked up a joke? !

Li Yao continued to applaud and praised: "Second Brother's Drunken Sword is really extraordinary!"

Hearing Li Yao yelling so loudly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was really the drunken sword that the prince deliberately performed. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the crown prince to make a fool of himself in the palace after drinking a few wines!
Li Ying danced for a while, and gradually felt the strength on his wrist disappear bit by bit, and looked at everyone in a trance, he was taken aback, he had always been a drinker, although today's Zhao Jiu was indeed a bit stronger, But after only drinking two jugs, I definitely won't get drunk!How is this going?It's as if all the power has been taken away!Turned pale with shock, Li Ying wanted to stabilize her figure and withdraw her sword to end the stage, but when her legs softened, she was about to fall to her knees!Li Ying was taken aback, and in a flash, quickly put the sword on his right hand, and only then supported the entire weight of his body. Even so, he still felt salty in his throat, and "pushed" to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah!" Everyone was stunned by the fright, and in a moment, the whole hall was full of shouts.

Qingying walked quickly onto the red carpet, supported the crumbling Li Ying and cried, "Brother Prince, you... How are you?"

"I...no...it's okay!" Li Ying replied with difficulty, but couldn't stand up with Qingying's support.

Chang Xi got up and shouted: "Go and ask the imperial doctor for the prince!"

"No!" The servant outside the door seemed to run away as well.

All the ministers wanted to rush up to visit the prince, but they were frightened back by Li Longji's eyes.Li Longji clasped his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Help the crown prince to the inner hall, and the rest will wait here!"

After saying that, he asked Gao Lishi to support Li Ying, and he took Chang Xi's hand into the inner hall.

The rest of the people in the hall all looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why Li Ying's sword dance was so good, why would he vomit blood!

Not long after, Imperial Physician Qin rushed over with a medicine box and took the pulse of Li Ying who was lying on the couch in the inner hall. Li Longji looked at the couch with a cloudy expression.Sitting behind the desk, Chang Xi felt uneasy!It's really strange that the prince would vomit blood during such a good palace banquet!But I don't know if Li Ying has a hidden disease in his body, such a fast sword dance caused his old disease, or because of something else!If it's because of something else, I can't get rid of it, because I organized this palace banquet by myself!

Because Qingying was the maid who helped Li Ying into the palace, she was able to stand at the door. She stood on tiptoe and kept looking at the bed, and her anxious expression fell into Chang Xi's eyes. Being so nervous, it seems that the relationship between the maid and the prince is not superficial, so she immediately asked, "What's your name?"

Qing Ying's heart was on Li Ying, and she didn't hear Chang Xi's question at all.

Gao Lishi on the side said displeasedly: "Empress Hui is asking you something!"

"Oh?" Qing Ying regained her composure and realized that Chang Xi was staring at her with burning eyes, her face blushed, and she lowered her head and said, "My servant's name is Qing Ying!"

Chang Xi's heart was shocked, it turned out that she was Qing Ying!After the birthday king Li Mao mentioned the girl from the Prince's Mansion in the Jiaofang Palace that day, Chang Xi took it to heart and sent someone to investigate, only to find out that the girl's name was Qing Ying, who sold herself on the street to bury her father The prince saw that she was pitiful, so he bought her back to be the maid in charge of the mansion. Chang Xi thought that Li Ying was just pity for her, but the relationship between the two was so close. A little worried, because she already felt that her son Li Mao liked this girl very much.

"Qingying? Very good! I am eager to protect the lord, this reward!" Chang Xi handed her a piece of jade pendant.

Qingying took it casually, and didn't take it seriously, she didn't like this Concubine Hui, and even blamed her for her father's death, seeing her rewarding herself, although she didn't dare to refuse, she didn't take it seriously.

Chang Xi said slowly: "The man is handsome and kind-hearted. How long have you been serving the Prince's Mansion?"

"The maidservant has just arrived at the Prince's Mansion!" Qing Ying replied.

Chang Xi laughed and said, "It's really not easy to be valued by the prince right after arriving at the prince's mansion! Eunuch Gao!"

"The old slave is here!" Gao Lishi had been paying attention to Li Ying's injury, but Chang Xi would call him at this time, with a bit of surprise in his tone, "What orders does Concubine Hui have?"

Chang Xi said: "I have taken a fancy to this woman and want to transfer her to serve in Jiaofang Hall. You will go to the Shang Palace Bureau tomorrow and send another smart maid to pay the crown prince!"

Gao Lishi was about to shout promises, but Qingying said anxiously: "Slaves can't go to the Jiaofang Hall to serve the empress!"

"Oh?" Chang Xi said calmly, "Why? Are you afraid of me!"

Qing Ying said anxiously: "I don't dare! It's just... it's just that the servant wants to go back to the Prince's Mansion to serve the Prince!"

Chang Xi said coldly: "There are many servants around the prince, and there is no shortage of you! If you come to Jiaofang Hall tomorrow, I will send her to serve the prince!"

Hearing Chang Xi's resoluteness, Qing Ying knew that there was no room for change in this matter, and she felt extremely sad. Once she entered the palace, if she couldn't get out, wouldn't she have to be separated from Li Ying forever?Tears welled up in his eyes for a moment, trying not to let them fall.

Chang Xi is the most shameful, but since she became a mother, she always feels guilty when she thinks of the two dead children, so she gives all her love to Li Mao. This woman is Li Mao's favorite, of course she will do it. Anything, even if it is to use the power of her own harem to suppress others, she will not hesitate.

Seeing this, Gao Lishi said: "You go to the Jiaofang Hall, there are people serving the prince here, so you don't need to be here!"

"No!" Qing Ying looked at Li Ying reluctantly with tears in her eyes, and the moment she recited her back, tears fell down.

Chang Xi looked at her declining back with a dazed expression. Back then, he and Xiao Yu fell in love with each other, and His Majesty was such a good at fighting mandarin ducks. At that time, he hated this man deeply. Today, Qing Ying must have hated him. It is indeed wrong, but if she is really allowed to stay in the Prince's Mansion, wouldn't Maoer have no chance at all?Sure enough, being a mother has a lot of helplessness, Chang Xi sighed in her heart.

Li Longji didn't pay attention to the conversation in this room. Seeing that Imperial Physician Qin put down his hands, he hurriedly asked, "How is the prince?"

Seeing that there were only Li Longji, Chang Xi, and Gao Lishi in the inner palace, the Qin imperial physician did not deny it, and cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness is poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" Li Longji's pupils gradually shrank!Poisoned at the palace banquet?If so, things are complicated!At that moment, he opened his mouth slowly and asked, "Is the slow-moving poison among the princes acute?"

Doctor Qin said seriously: "Acute! The old minister suspects that he was poisoned at this palace banquet!"

"At the palace banquet?" Chang Xi was a little moved, the expression on his face became unnatural, the palace banquet was arranged by himself, and the relationship between Li Ying and himself is so delicate, if today's matter is not clear, wouldn't it be impossible for him to argue? ?
