Chapter 109 Assassination
Tang Hua was more than happy to fulfill the prince's request.
He was the one who invited the Ruyi troupe, and if they could satisfy the prince, he would be proud of it.
Tang Hua gave the servant a few instructions, and the servant hurried to the back.
Qi Shuo, who came on behalf of Prince Jing's Mansion, was seated not far from the Crown Prince. Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
It turned out that the prince took the initiative to ask to see it.
The people around him were drinking and chatting, but not many people spoke to Qi Shuo. For this frail and low-key Prince Jing, the necessary greetings were enough.
Tang Hua, however, while waiting for the Ruyi class to arrive, casually said, "Why didn't the young princess come with the prince?"
Qi Shuo held the wine glass and smiled: "Girls are getting older and don't want to go out much."
"I was thinking that with the arrival of the little princess, my second sister would have a companion."
Qi Shuo glanced at Tang Hua, seeming to be thinking about something.
Is it a pity that Miss Tang Er has no companion, or is it a pity that she didn’t see her younger sister?
Hearing Tang Hua mention Tang Wei, the prince became annoyed and asked coldly, "Why hasn't the Ruyi class arrived yet?"
The domineering sister-in-law bullied the gentle and eloquent Consort Sun. In the prince's mind, Tang Wei was a nuisance.
As he was speaking, the Ruyi class arrived.
The dancers in the hall stepped back, making room for the Ruyi troupe to display their unique skills. Some breathed fire, some balanced bowls on their shoulders, some displayed contortionist techniques... Each performance drew rounds of applause.
On one side was a luxurious banquet, and on the other side were the acrobatics commonly seen in the streets and alleys. Because the performance was so exciting, all the guests felt a sense of novelty and watched intently with their wine glasses in hand.
The prince, who was used to watching elegant singing and dancing, also found it quite interesting and said to Tang Hua, "Not bad."
Tang Hua was in high spirits after receiving the crown prince's praise: "Brother-in-law, wait, the dancing silk will be even more beautiful later."
The prince has seen it.
The handsome and clean-cut young man entered the venue with a nimble somersault. When he finally stood firm, two red silks flew out from his sleeves, dazzling the audience.
Amidst cheers, the red silk began to dance like a dragon.
Soon the highlight came, as the red silk suddenly flew out in one direction. There stood a little girl holding a green vase with a single flower in it.
The red silk flew towards her, but the little girl remained calm.
A moment later, the flowers in the vase disappeared, and the red silk flew towards Tang Hua.
Tang Hua had obviously seen this unique skill before, and his expression remained unchanged.
The guests saw nothing but a flash before their eyes, and the red silk was returned to the young man's hand, while a trembling flower appeared on the table in front of Tang Hua.
After a brief silence, cheers rang out.
After that, there was another round of red silk flying, as if stirring up the colorful clouds in the sky, and several guests received flowers sent by the red silk.
There was also a new flower on Qi Shuo's desk.
That is a wintersweet.
The petals are golden and have a subtle fragrance.
Qi Shuo picked up the wintersweet, smelled its fragrance, and sighed in his heart.
When the prince saw that Tang Hua and Qi Shuo both received flowers but he did not, he immediately became unhappy.
Wintersweet is naturally not rare, but the purpose of such occasions is to celebrate. Everyone else has it, but he, the prince, does not, which is really disappointing.
Tang Hua has all the faults of a dandy young man, but none of them are visible in front of the prince, leaving only his thoughtfulness and cleverness.
When Tang Hua saw the prince's reaction, he frequently winked at the young man dancing with the silk.
Many guests saw this and did not think that Tang Hua's behavior was inappropriate. Instead, they thought that the young man dancing with silk was not very good at handling things.
Among the people present, the one with the highest status is the Crown Prince. Why don’t you give flowers to the Crown Prince?
The special atmosphere will give rise to special ideas. Unconsciously, everyone regarded the wintersweet sent by red silk as a good omen.
Finally, the young man came to his senses, and a red silk thread flew towards the prince.
The prince held the wine glass and a smile appeared on his lips.
The red silk flew towards the prince so naturally, even in everyone's expectation, that the flying knife hidden in the red silk was so close to the prince that the cold light was discovered.
The invisible guard standing behind the prince pounced on him.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere just now was too relaxing. Although the guards protecting the prince were highly skilled, they were still a step too late.
As he pulled the prince behind him, the flying knife pierced the prince's arm.
The young man stopped, the flying red silk slowly fell in front of him, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
The prince was not stabbed in the vitals.
Following the prince's screams, countless voices rang out.
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect the prince!"
Tables were overturned, cups and plates rolled over, and the scene was in great chaos.
When there were no unexpected situations, the guards who tried their best to reduce their presence drew their swords and rushed towards the boy.
The young man soon fell under the sword.
Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he tried his best to look up and look at the prince.
His vision was already blurry, and he couldn't see the prince's appearance clearly, but he kept his eyes open until he heard a cry of alarm: "Oh no, the hidden weapon is poisoned!"
The hidden weapon is poisonous...
The boy raised the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes.
In the chaos, guards raised their knives and killed people, guests fled in panic, and dancers screamed.
Qi Shuo looked at the motionless boy lying on the ground and said sorry in his heart.
He can't change.
The prince's arm was indeed injured.
In fact, with such airtight protection, it was a miracle that he could injure the prince's arm. Even if he planned another assassination, or even changed a small detail, it would be in vain.
Don't interfere with anything, at least you can make the prince bleed.
All he could do was to take advantage of the opportunity to see the prince bleed and turn the assassination attempt, which only caused the prince some minor injuries and was considered futile, into a poisoning attempt.
The injury was only on the arm, and with so many imperial doctors present, it was almost impossible to take the prince's life.
The situation was quickly brought under control, the poisoned prince was sent to the guest room for treatment, and the guests present were not allowed to leave.
Not only that, the female guests who were drinking in the back were also invited over.
On the way here, the wife of Marquis Wuning's calves were shaking, and she could only walk with the help of her maid.
The Crown Princess was not in much better condition, her face was frighteningly pale.
The prince was unexpectedly assassinated in the Marquis's mansion, and the Marquis of Wuning's mansion was about to be in great trouble.
The mother and daughter had the same idea, and every step they took seemed like they were struggling on the edge of a knife.
Lin then quietly warned Lin Hao: "Ah Hao, when you get to the front, you must follow me closely and don't wander around."
"Yeah." Lin Hao responded obediently, with waves of emotion in his heart.
At this time in her previous life, she had already fled the capital. Although she came back three years later and met some people and heard some things, there was still much she didn't know.
Was the prince assassinated? Who assassinated him? What happened to the prince?
Lin Hao followed the crowd to the hall with countless questions in his mind.
There were several corpses lying all over the floor in the hall, causing some ladies and noble girls to scream.
They couldn't imagine the situation here was like this.
Lin Hao's gaze fell on Xiao Feng.
The boy lay quietly in a pool of blood, as if he was asleep.
Lin Hao looked at the boy's calm face and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
She remembered!
