Chapter 733 Assassination
Before the Lantern Festival, the manufacturing department made the ice skating sled that Si Linglong wanted and sent it to her. Si Linglong took everyone and wrapped themselves in their warmest gear and went to the ice.
Si Linglong and the others were fine, as Xueshan himself was a chubby, round ball, wrapped in all kinds of furry winter coats and rabbit fur deer boots. He looked as if he could fall on the ice and roll over in the next second.
Xue Sha obviously also found that her clothes affected her movements, but there was nothing she could do. After she transformed into a human form, she had no hair on her body, and she could only wear clothes like a human in winter.
She doesn't want to wear it either.
Perhaps knowing his disadvantage, Xue Sha climbed directly onto the nearest sled as soon as he got on the ice.
Si Linglong asked the manufacturing department to make two types of this ice skate. One is for two people, which requires someone to pull it in front, but because there is an ice track underneath, it is not strenuous to slide. The other is for one person, which is shaped like a seat. You can pull it or hold two popsicles on both sides to help you slide.
It is impossible for Xue Sha to do it by himself, so he just sits in the car and waits for others to pull him forward.
Fortunately, Si Linglong brought several young eunuchs from Yuxiu Palace with her this time, so they were naturally willing to go along.
There was no need to wait until they reached the center of the ice lake; the two little eunuchs pulled Xue Sha forward on their own accord.
Si Linglong and Li Sheng each sat on a single skate and did not let the palace maids pull them. Instead, they tried to skate forward by themselves. When the skate flew forward, a group of people screamed with joy and the atmosphere of fun was instantly created.
Shuhong and Qinglu didn't dare to play. They were more worried that the queen would fall, so they kept their eyes on Si Linglong the whole way.
Hua Yan was the last one in line, grunting as she pulled the ice sled prepared for her. Seeing that everyone in Xue Sha had started to play, she suddenly became anxious, and subconsciously, she found Xiang Tian who was asked to follow along.
"Brother Tianbao, can you help me pull the cart? I'll pull it for you later."
Hua Yan had been approaching Xiang Tian again under a new identity these two days. Seeing that he didn't seem to recognize her, she became unbridled and subconsciously called out the name Xiang Yanyan used to call Xiang Tian.
The moment the words came out, Hua Yan felt something was wrong and hurriedly observed Xiang Tian's reaction. The latter was also obviously stunned when he heard the familiar name.
But before he could recover from the familiar name, he saw the little girl's cautious and inquiring eyes, and he unconsciously had some evil thoughts in his heart, and deliberately lowered his voice and said,
"Don't call me that. I don't like being called brother."
Hua Yan was stunned, as if she had not expected him to say that.
After all, that's what I had always called him before.
But soon, she thought about how she was no longer Xiang Yanyan, and it was normal for her to dislike people calling her brother. So she thought carefully about how the maids in the palace addressed her, and then obediently changed her words.
"Then, Eunuch Tianbao!"
Xiang Tian: ...
You might as well not call me.
Although he was unhappy with her address, Xiang Tian still inexplicably accepted her request to help pull the cart.
Several days had passed since Xiang Tian proposed to leave the palace to Concubine Lang, but he had not been able to leave.
He even remained in Yuxiu Palace as a father-in-law.
Xiang Tian thought that this was definitely not connivance.
He was just cooperating with her temporarily, so that when he exposed her in the future, she would think back on these things and realize how ridiculous she was.
Yes, he just wanted to see her laugh.
…
There was a lot of noise and fun on the ice lake. On the edge of the lake, Gu Qingquan looked at the group of people laughing in the center of the lake and frowned slightly.
"Is this the new thing she told me to come over and play?"
Xiang Ye at the side said, "It seems so. Is the queen going there now?"
Gu Qingquan shook his head. "It's a toy for children."
Xiang Ye immediately glanced at her own master. Because of Concubine Lang's invitation, the queen had specially changed into a riding suit that was more convenient for movement today. Didn't she plan to play together?
Just as I was feeling regretful, I heard Gu Qingquan say, "Bring me my ice boots."
So a quarter of an hour later, a light and beautiful figure on the ice quickly approached Si Linglong. Si Linglong was still trying hard to skate with her popsicle. Seeing her sister Quan approaching quickly, her almond-shaped eyes gradually widened, and her face was full of surprise.
[How come my sister Quan can do everything? She is so cool! ]
If she could skate, she wouldn't have asked the production department to make her a skateboard!
It's a pity that she can't.
She watched as Sister Quan skated all the way to her, and then turned gracefully when she was about to bump into her. She said nothing, but it was obvious that she was showing off her skills.
Because Si Linglong saw that her sister Quan had a clear smile on her lips when she turned around!
"Damn it!" Si Linglong said to Li Sheng who was standing beside her, "Let's go after her."
The two skateboards immediately started to chase in the direction where Gu Qingquan was skating.
The scene was bustling again. The concubines in the harem who heard the news couldn't help feeling jealous when they saw the laughing scene on the lake.
It turns out that she is pampered.
First, he broke into the Lianrui Palace and the emperor didn't punish him. Later, he thought that Concubine Yu would come and give him a slap in the face. As a result, he was dead the next day. It had only been a few days since he died. After all, he came out of her palace, but he was so blatantly having fun with everyone in the palace.
Really, so cold and indifferent!
It would have been fine if it was just for fun, but he even only called Concubine Quan along.
They want to play, too.
The concubines who were watching refused to admit that they were jealous.
Just as I was looking at it with a sour feeling, I suddenly saw a bright yellow figure walking quickly from the other side, and my heart felt even more sour.
The Emperor must have come here specially because he knew that Concubine Lang was bringing people to play on the ice lake, right?
They have seen too much.
Tsk.
Just as they were thinking about it, they saw Helian Yue approaching quickly. The concubines were hesitating whether to go over to join in the fun, but suddenly they saw the emperor's expression and stopped abruptly, not daring to get any closer.
In the middle of the icy lake, Xue Sha smelled a familiar smell, turned his head, and immediately looked towards the lakeside, then shouted in a baby voice,
"Yueyue is here too!"
Si Linglong, who was playing not far away, was stunned. She subconsciously looked towards the lake and saw a slender figure standing on the shore in the distance. She immediately steered the skate towards Helian Yue happily.
【Ayue! 】
Si Linglong shouted in her heart while sliding towards him with a grunt. However, just when she was about to slide to the shore, she found A Yue standing on the shore. There was no familiar tenderness on his face, but instead a bit of coldness and solemnity.
Si Linglong was stunned for a moment, then she braked the car, stood up and walked towards him, calling him tentatively,
【Ayue? 】
Helian Yue pursed his lips and walked towards her with a serious look on his face. He didn't speak until he was in front of her.
"Just now, there was a report from outside the palace that Prince Li was assassinated while he was out today... The one who assassinated him was your brother Si Jinyu."
Si Linglong's smile froze on her face in an instant, and her whole body froze in place, her feet feeling cold.
