The neatly arranged and beautiful tables in the hall were scattered, and the wine cups that had previously formed fine porcelain fell to the ground forming messy fragments with bloodstains inundating the floor, shocking to see.
According to the palace rules, the banquet that the Emperor held for the court officials should be avoided. The guards were only arranged to guard the door from the outside.
The palace guards, they heard a loud commotion. Rushed into the hall to make a rescue. But the initial situation was a little unfavorable.
The door of the hall was too small for their many-member army. Especially when the door was broken through, the eunuchs were also servants immediately scattered by running the roosts out to save themselves without thinking long that it inhibits the movement of troops who want to enter to carry out the conquest.
"Miss?!"
"Ah." Xiu Qixuan gasped in a daze.
Xiao Leng's voice again and again resuscitated him. The firm grip on his shoulder made him fall back into the hole of reality.
'kr.t..' He bit his lips with his fingers tightly clenched above his chin.
"You all right, Miss? The palace guards have arrived, we must get out of the safer corner." Xiao Leng said calmly, even too flat when the servant girl's eyes looked at him straight.
'Help..' Xiu Qixuan sighed harshly, then, nodded.
A good choice. They have to make room for that many troops. Rushing over the corner in the corner of the hall that glowed dimly to avoid violent clashes or bursts of blood stains.
Ever since, Xiu Qixuan had drowned in a sour and agitated feeling. He did not understand, it really felt annoying to him because such a big step was never thought of.
Xia Qian Che, that man was an unpredictable person and would never be able to be read by anyone.
The agreement between them, is it possible?
Judging from any part, without his help giving away all the information, Xia Qian Che a duped actually had the ability to handle all of these affairs.
The situation was quickly controlled by the palace guard troops. In the end, only leaving the hall a mess. More than a dozen assassins were lying on the ground. Everyone has countless wounds.
The Ministers and Madam crawled out of their respective hiding places, putting on panicked pale faces.
Some tender young Miss flinched and fainted, so shocked and frightened by this terrifying sight.
The entire hall door was closed. No one can leave the banquet before conducting a thorough identity check.
Although some of them were injured and needed treatment, treatment would be carried out temporarily within the hall with the medics provided by the palace party.
Xia Qian Che, the Emperor has decisively ordered the criminal department officials to immediately conduct an investigation. It was also specifically commissioned to find out the meaning of the words of the assassin regarding the destruction of Hou Village on the imperial border.
The acrobats were gathered from the common people, there were always traces left, moreover the palace was a place that could not be entered if it did not conduct a careful identity investigation.
The roar of the rebellious woman sounded, "Suspicious! Release me!!!" It was Ning Xiaoyin's cry trying to shake off the clutches of the palace guards who wanted to take her.
"Miss Ning, please understand. Come with us to the research center. The emperor himself ordered us." The calm-sounding voice of the middle-aged man emitted a radiance of wisdom.
Judging from the emblem of the clothes he was wearing, he was a criminal department official.
'Bukk..' Ning Xiaoyin brushed aside rudely and ran over quickly to throw herself at the perpetuity of Xia Qian Che who was busy talking to one of her ministers.
"Your Majesty. Strive innocence—," He buried his reddened face with a flood of tears as if deeply tormented.
Xia Qian Che frowned dislikeingly. Roughly he immediately pushed Ning Xiaoyin's shoulder away. "Consider your behavior!" Angry touch.
"But—," Tejeda Ning Xiaoyin's.
"Yin'er!!" The firm voice of someone sounded loud. It was Ning Jing.
"Dad." A hopeful smile expanded on Ning Xiaoyin's beautiful face.
Ever since, Ning Xiaoyin had lost her closest place to depend. The Queen Mother had left the hall first because of her poor health if she remained in a place like this.
Incidentally, his father came. He didn't want to go to a prison-like research center. Or in interrogation like a prisoner.
Ning Jing cupped both of her hands respectfully and bowed to say, "Please forgive my daughter's sassiness, Your Majesty."
"The Ning family has always obeyed your orders of majesty. Therefore, my daughter in charge of the event will be willing to participate to comply with the investigation process." Further
"Dad?!" Ning Xiaoyin turned a shocked face.
Xia Qian Che narrowed his eyes sharply with a faint smile, "Alright. After all, the Miss of the Ning Family had good intentions that were unfortunately confounded. If this matter can be resolved without suspicion, zhen will compensate you greatly."
His words were like a thin thread that made the sirat hidden. That meant, he patiently waited to see what things the Ning Family would do in the future to escape suspicion.
With this entire incident, Ning Jing understood very well that the Emperor was targeting her. However, he would not show any intelligence in front of the Emperor.
Therefore, all he can do now is pretend to be stupid and lack of understanding. Cunning indeed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." said Ning Jing bowing respectfully.
'En.' Xia Qian Che replied lazily. He took a side glance and found Xiu Qixuan who helped provide treatment for the injured guests.
Sensing someone's gaze, Xiu Qixuan turned her head and looked back at him with a dark bead.
Without saying anything more, Xia Qian Che flapped his sleeves and walked away leaving the hall.
Faintly he could still hear Ning Xiaoyin's unacceptable roar and Ning Jing's angry clasps.
The father and son argued after the Emperor left the hall. Ning Jing firmly allowed the criminal department officials to bring her daughter in to comply with the investigation process.
*********
On the other hand, Xiu Qixuan tidied up the medicine box brought by the palace physician. He left after finishing dressing the patient's wound and approached Xiao Leng who was not far away.
"Xiao Leng, is it done?" Ask gently.
"Ah.. Yes, Miss." Xiao Leng replied quickly approaching the master. This servant girl also helped provide treatment to the injured victims.
Xiu Qixuan raised a glance and scanned the area within the hall with a cold gaze. He looked at some of the bodies that were wrapped and taken away by the palace officials.
It had already entered midnight, and the entire state was already back in stable condition.
Some of the surviving guests will carry out identity checks and those who do not have any suspicious identification are allowed to return to their respective residences.
"What's wrong Miss?" Xiao Leng asked as she looked at the mistress pensively with a heavy twitching gaze staring at one of the corpses that was stiffened.
Xiu Qixuan turned her face and smiled gently. "It's okay. Just finding new knowledge is a little interesting." Ambiguous answer.
He had just understood a few things and at this moment, he needed firm confirmation from the person in question.
"Xiao Leng, go first and wait for me in the carriage. I have things to take care of before I return." His order.
Xiao Leng frowned doubtfully, but, he could only nod and obey orders.
