Chapter 94 Mansudae is about to explode
Wanshou Terrace.
The golden palace is brightly lit.
Xiao Baojing saw the emperor and his ministers worshiping at the shrine of the great witch.
The young lady dressed as a mountain ghost hugged the civet cat: "...the emperor sought immortality and asked the great witch for advice. The great witch instructed him to build the Wanshou Pavilion, where hundreds of officials and people prayed, saying that it would attract gods from the sky to come down to earth and give blessings. If you are ready, Treat the gods with melons, fruits, wine and other things. Maybe the gods will grant him longevity when they are happy!”
Xiao Baojing was shocked.
Did she wear it a few days ago?
Thinking that Mansudae would explode in half an hour, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She held Miss Shangui's hand and said, "Run quickly, this place will explode soon!"
Miss Shangui touched her forehead: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"
Xiao Baojing held his breath and concentrated.
That's right, there is no proof, no one can believe her!
She looked around, and when she saw Xiao Qian following the emperor, her eyes lit up.
That’s all for others, maybe His Highness the Crown Prince will believe her words!
After worshiping the great witch, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is about to begin.
All civil and military officials surrounded the emperor and Xiao Qian, and marched toward the high platform in a mighty manner.
Xiao Baojing squeezed into the crowd of wandering gods, jumping up and down and shouting loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as she shouted twice, the Imperial Guards swarmed in, caught her without hesitation, and threatened her viciously: "Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, what the hell is your name?! If you disrupt the order, I'll put you in jail." ! ”
Fortunately, Xiao Qian heard her two shouts and turned around to look for her.
Xiao Baojing broke free from the shackles of the imperial guards and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the Wanshou Tower is going to explode!"
Xiao Qian hesitated: "Miss Xiao once mentioned that the jade had been tampered with, but after inspection, Gu Ming found that there was nothing strange inside -"
"It's a lantern!" Xiao Baojing said anxiously, "There's something wrong with the lanterns in Wanshou Terrace! They're cunning, the jade is just a hood, the lanterns are where the real tricks are done!"
Xiao Qian frowned.
He did not stop believing Xiao Baojing's words just because the news about the jade was inaccurate. Instead, he whispered to his confidants to check the surrounding lanterns.
Not far away, Empress Ji, who was about to have a banquet with her concubines, noticed the scene here.
Concubine Zhao covered her lips and said with a smile: "This little elf looks very much like the late Ninth Princess. The same goes for the prince. He is a majestic prince of a country, and he is so noble. How could he be talking to a little elf? The prince has never been a womanizer. I didn't expect that. I will talk so much to a female spirit tonight..."
Queen Ji looked worried.
She ordered them to have a banquet first, and then went to find Xiao Qian in person.
The imperial guards carefully inspected the nearest lanterns and quickly came back to report: "Your Highness, I found the talisman in the lantern!"
On the bright yellow rune paper, red runes were drawn with cinnabar pens.
After checking the demon subduing master of the East Palace, his expression suddenly changed: "This is a fire talisman! Once activated, a violent explosion will occur! If every lantern on the Wanshou Tower has this object hidden in it, then the entire high platform will be blown up. , it’s just a blink of an eye!”
"But Xiao Nanjia did it?!"
Queen Ji's voice suddenly came.
The imperial guards moved out of the way, and Empress Ji folded her hands on her chest. Her face, already grimacing, became even more cold and angry.
Xiao Qian bowed his hands and said, "Mother." Empress Ji held his hand, and because she was too angry, her lips could not help but tremble slightly: "Good boy, tell the queen, was it Xiao Nanjia who did it?!"
Xiao Qian reminded: "Without proof or proof, the mother cannot wrongly accuse her sister."
"What other evidence do you need?!" Queen Ji was angry, "Besides her, who else in the world would dare to do this?!"
She originally thought that this female spirit was seducing her son, but she didn't expect that it was actually Xiao Nanjia who was plotting evil and trying to usurp the throne, and she was discovered!
Xiao Nanjia...how dare she!
Empress Ji said sternly: "I thought I was treating her well, but I never imagined that I would indulge her in such an ambition! I must report it to the Holy One and punish her for the crime of treason!"
Xiao Baojing was impatient: "Empress, please figure it out. The top priority is that the Wanshou Tower is going to explode. There are tens of thousands of people here. Either evacuate the people quickly or find a way to get rid of the runes in the lanterns. You are yelling at Xiao Nan What’s the use of Jia?”
"Bold!" The little eunuch behind Empress Ji pointed at Xiao Baojing and scolded in a sharp voice, "You are a weirdo, what do you have to do here?! Don't be so presumptuous in front of the Empress, or we will tear your mouth apart!"
Xiao Baojing turned around and snorted, then looked at Xiao Qian again.
Xiao Qian ordered in a deep voice: "If anyone comes, please report to your father immediately that several assassins have appeared in Wanshou Tower, and ask him and the civil and military officials to leave here immediately. Then open all the passages, and evacuate regardless of whether they are people or spirits!"< br>
If Mansudae were to explode, it would definitely cause chaos.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It's better to say there are assassins.
His confidants immediately took orders to do it.
Xiao Baojing was not idle either.
She still had to find the salesman, so she picked up her skirt and hurried to the exit.
Unexpectedly, before he could even take two steps, he was grabbed by his sleeve by the little eunuch from before.
He yelled: "The Queen hasn't left yet, why are you leaving?! Do you know how to write the four words "honor, inferiority"? You are not allowed to walk in front of the Queen, go, go and follow behind!"
"You——"
Xiao Baojing was so angry at him that when he saw that they were outnumbered, he had no choice but to swallow his humiliation and silently make way for Empress Ji.
But these people walked slowly, and Empress Ji even had to arrange her phoenix robe and hairpin, without any sense of urgency to escape!
Xiao Baojing was anxious and about to urge her, but Empress Ji suddenly stopped.
Xiao Baojing was furious: "What's going on?!"
She followed Empress Ji's gaze and saw that on the tall building across the street, a girl with a beautiful face like jade and red flowers was standing on the railing.
The girl wore a blue-gold narrow-sleeved waist-cinched palace dress, with the skirt fluttering in the night wind. Her narrow brows and eyes outlined a heroic spirit that was calm and self-defeating. Even from a long distance away, you can still feel the girl's phoenix eyes. The bottom is cool and thin.
Queen Ji's face was ashen and she murmured: "Xiao Nanjia..."
"Ouch!" The little eunuch behind her thumped her chest, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is really ignorant. Poor Queen, she is so affectionate towards her. How could she conspire to usurp the throne?! If this really got serious, What a bad influence it has on His Royal Highness!”
Xiao Baojing glanced behind him.
On the high platform in the distance, an unknown person broke the news to the public that the Mansudae was about to explode. The original retreat order was disrupted. Everyone was scrambling to run out, and the crowd gradually became noisy and chaotic.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and urged: "Come on, why are you still standing there?"
The little eunuch raised his orchid finger and scolded: "What are you so anxious about? Didn't you see that the Queen is confronting Her Royal Highness?!"
