Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 181 Xiao Huanxi is dead!
Xiao Jingran fell ill again, and the rights of the Xiao family were handed over to Xiao Fengjue.

Five days later, Shen Ninghua attended the banquet hosted by the queen, and stood there for about a quarter of an hour, but no maid came to welcome her to the table.

After Baili Anning dressed up, she came to the side hall of Qifeng Palace, and saw Shen Ninghua leaning against the railing watching the fish swimming in the water: "Ninghua, why are you here?"

"It's okay, but no one has arranged a seat, so I'll just wait."

Baili Anning frowned: "How long have you been here?"

"It didn't take long, almost a quarter of an hour."

"The empress's palace has always been strictly governed, and this is the first time that no one has been invited to the table." Baili Anning immediately understood what was going on when she heard this, and said with a sneer.

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Your Majesty is taking out my anger on me, there is nothing to be angry about, she has to entertain me, just wait."

"En." Baili Anning simply leaned against the railing and waited with her.

The two looked at the beautiful surroundings and talked about their own understanding, but they were still complacent for a while.

About a quarter of an hour later, a court lady rushed over: "I have seen Princess An Ning and Princess Zhaohua, and this servant is here to invite the two princesses to the table."

Baili Anning glanced at all kinds of eyes around, and said coldly: "If you hadn't come, I would have forgotten us because of my mother!"

The maid plopped and knelt on the ground: "Princess, please spare your life. This servant is guilty. Please forgive me, the two princesses."

Baili Anning's expression changed. What's the matter with this maid? She didn't say she wanted to blame her, so she made an apology herself first?
Shen Ninghua took a step forward to fend off Baili Aning: "The princess just said something to you, and you apologized with great fanfare, didn't you just make us wait for half an hour, and we didn't say anything, but you are getting angry."

The big palace lady Fangxue stepped forward and yelled at the maids on the ground in a low voice: "Why are you crying? You go down to receive the punishment if you make a mistake, and you are so courageous to cry in front of the two princesses. Princess Anning, Princess Zhaohua, Xin The assigned little maid is ignorant, and the maid will apologize to the two princesses."

"Aunt Fangxue, don't mind. It's just that the newcomer is ignorant. We're fine." Baili Anning responded.

Fang Xue smiled and bowed, "The two princesses are invited to the table."

Shen Ninghua and Baili Anning looked at each other, and sat down in their seats, but they both became vigilant in their hearts. It seems that at this banquet, the queen made up her mind to make things difficult for her.

Soon, Empress Zhao Huiying was dressed in a red palace dress, and everyone stood up to salute.

"Everyone, let's get down, all the flowers are in full bloom now, I invite all the ladies and ladies to come here today, so that we can enjoy the beautiful scenery together."

"Thank you Queen Empress."
.
"If that's the case, let's take a seat." Zhao Huiying's expression was gentle and gentle, with an unparalleled aura of dignity, and her eyes swept around the crowd, making everyone feel that they were being watched. A feeling of respect is born inadvertently.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head slightly and took a sip of tea, quietly waiting for the next move at the banquet.

But halfway through the banquet, nothing happened.

Zhao Huiying was supported by the maid to stand up, smiled and said to everyone: "Now is the time to enjoy the scenery in the Imperial Garden, I will go back and change my clothes, everyone can go first."

Everyone agreed repeatedly, got up and walked towards the imperial garden.Few people are lucky enough to visit the imperial garden, and it is even more rare to have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the imperial garden. Everyone is full of joy.

Shen Ninghua and Baili Anning walked towards the Imperial Garden together with the crowd slightly behind.

The two casually walked to the pavilion by the water and sat down against the railing.

Baili Anning couldn't help hesitating: "Ninghua, you said that the Empress Empress came today to let us enjoy the scenery?"

"I'm afraid not at all."

"Well, you said... ah, Ninghua, be careful!"

Before Baili Anning finished speaking, he saw a figure jumping out from the bushes next to him, and threw himself on Shen Ninghua, rolling her into the pool beside him.

"Come on, come on, come on, save the princess!"

Shen Ninghua heard Baili Anning's warning, but before she had time to react, she felt a force hit her, and rolled herself into the pool with her.

She felt that her arms were tightly held by others, and she couldn't break free no matter what.

Under the surface of the water, through the clear water of the lake, she saw the ferocious face of the person holding her - Xiao Huanxi!
How could she appear in the palace?

Xiao Huanxi had a ferocious smile on his face, and when he opened his mouth, a string of blisters came out, refracted by the water, making his appearance even more distorted.

Shen Ninghua tried to get away from her, but it was a pity that Xiao Huanxi regarded her as an enemy of life and death, and now he finally had the opportunity to put her to death, and he would not let go even if he died.

Layers of embroidered skirts are unusually gorgeous on weekdays, but they become extremely heavy when soaked in water.Shen Ninghua couldn't help but rejoice, luckily it was already June and the water in the pool was no longer freezing cold, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.

On the shore, Baili Anning shouted, and immediately a guard rushed over.

Baili Anning flinched, and looked around only to find that there were no court ladies and wives around, only a group of guards.By this time, how could she still not understand that this was the trap set by the queen for Ninghua, either to drown her in the pool water directly, or let the guards ruin her reputation.

"You all stop!" Mrs. Shao stood up and stopped the guards, "Princess Zhaohua fell into the water, quickly find the palace maids and mothers who can float! Turn around and don't approach!"

Seeing that the guards were going forward, Baili Anning gritted his teeth and shouted: "I told you to stop and turn around and didn't you hear? These are the empress's honored guests. If you offend me, this princess will tell my father to kill you all with sticks!" "

Many people were immediately bluffed, hesitant and afraid to go forward.

The water in the pool was a little muddy, and I could only vaguely feel that there were fluctuations in the water, but no one came up.

Baili Anning was so anxious that she almost cried: "Ninghua, Ninghua..."

Just when Baili Anning was almost in despair, Baili Qingcang walked over frowning: "What's the matter, why are they all surrounded here?"

Seeing Chu Junyi following behind Baili Qingcang, Baili Anning's eyes lit up: "Father, Ninghua has fallen into the water, let someone save her!"

Before Baili Anning could finish speaking, a figure rushed into the pool like flying, it was Chu Junyi who had just stood behind Baili Qingcang.

In the pool water, Shen Ninghua tried her best to control her emotions to keep calm, struggled to withdraw one arm, aimed at the acupuncture point on Xiao Huanxi's chest, and hit it with her knuckles.

Feeling the intense pain in her chest, Xiao Huanxi not only did not let go, but gripped even tighter. She was already crazy. The only thing she remembered was to kill Shen Ninghua, so now even if she was going to die, she would pull Shen Ninghua on her back!

Chu Junyi jumped into the water, swam towards Shen Ninghua very quickly, grabbed her waist and hugged her in his arms, the panic in his heart slowly calmed down, fortunately, Ninghua was still there.

He looked at Xiao Huanxi who was holding on to Shen Ninghua tightly, a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes, his inner strength was channeled into the palm of his hand, and he slashed at her arm fiercely.

Xiao Huanxi opened her mouth to scream, but spit out a string of bubbles, let go of Shen Ninghua's arm and slowly sank toward the pool.

Chu Junyi gritted his teeth, glanced at Xiao Huanxi, then turned around and surfaced with Shen Ninghua in his arms.

"Ninghua, are you alright?"

Shen Ninghua choked so hard that her lungs hurt unbearably, and after a while she slowly opened her eyes and coughed: "Ahem, I'm fine..."

Baili Qingcang looked at Shen Ninghua nervously, seeing her drenched and pale face, her brows furrowed into ravines: "Come here, prepare clean clothes, Xuan Chenyun."

Baili Anning quickly put the clothes brought by the maid on Shen Ninghua: "Father, send Ninghua to the palace of my son."

"That's good. Who else is there in the pool? Let me fish them out. In front of a large audience, with so many guards guarding them, they actually let someone take charge of the murder of the princess. What's the use of raising you?"

All the guards knelt down, not even daring to beg for mercy, and knelt together tremblingly.

Shen Ninghua put on her clothes and stood up holding Baili Anning's hand:
"Father, my son didn't know that the rules in the palace were so lax. He was hidden in the imperial garden alone and was not found. My son was thrown into the pool, and there was no one around to find a mother! It’s fine if you can’t find the nanny and the maids, but these guards are the first to rush forward, are they trying to save someone, or are they trying to kill my son?”

"Your Majesty, the slaves and others have been wronged." The leader of the guards shouted repeatedly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.If the name of murdering the princess is confirmed, then the Nine Clans will be killed.

Shen Ninghua was in a panic, but the aura around her was unstoppable: "You are wronged, so is it true that Xiao Huanxi is hiding in the grass?"

"Yes."

"If Xiao Huanxi didn't murder me, but offended all the wives, and even offended the emperor, would you all want to apologize with death?"

"……This……"

Shen Ninghua became colder and colder: "If it's not me who fell today, but my father's concubine, are you going to rush forward and hit the ladies?"

"... Your Majesty... the slaves and others have neglected their duties, please punish them."

Baili Qingcang's face was ugly, and his hands behind his back were tightly clenched together: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a thousand days, you can't even do a little thing well with the salary I gave you...Come here, I will be on duty today!" The guards in the garden will be punished thirty times, the leader of the guards will be punished fifty times, and Chu Junyi, the censor of Zuodu, personally imprisoned him."

Chu Junyi's eyes gleamed coldly: "Yes, I have taken orders." He will definitely be imprisoned properly!
The queen rushed over in a hurry, seeing Shen Ninghua standing upright, she was heartbroken, and then walked to Baili Qingcang: "The concubine has met the emperor, what's the matter, the concubine is just going to change clothes , It turned out to be like this, why is Ninghua wet all over, hurry up and go to the imperial doctor Xuan."

Shen Ninghua's eyes were cold, looking at Zhao Huiying, who was covered in red and worried, a sharp light flashed in her heart: "Thank you, Ma'am, Ninghua is fine."

After saying this, the nuns finally fished Xiao Huanxi up.

Baili Qingcang snorted coldly: "Queen, why is Xiao Huanxi in the palace?"

"The concubine heard that Xiao Huanxi was insane, so she didn't invite her. How could she be in the palace?" Zhao Huiying frowned, with an expression of ignorance.

"The dignified queen is in charge of the harem, not to mention someone entered the harem, and even almost murdered the princess, you don't know anything about it?"

"The concubine neglected to observe, please punish the emperor." Zhao Huiying hastily pleaded guilty.

Someone from the side quickly stood up and interceded: "Your Majesty, the Queen's Majesty has complicated things, and it should be unexpected for a while."

Baili Qingcang said coldly: "The queen's management is too complicated. If that's the case, let Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui assist the palace affairs and help the queen share some of the burden."

The smile on Zhao Huiying's face was still gentle and harmonious: "Yes, my concubine, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Baili Qingcang turned his head to look at Xiao Huanxi on the ground: "What happened to that Xiao Huanxi?"

A nanny hurriedly stepped forward to check: "Report to the emperor, Miss Xiao... is out of breath."
