What really excited them was not the people dressed as plague gods, but the women who would appear later.
At this moment, someone hurriedly walked towards Jing Yuchen and reported to him: "Prince Regent, two women are complaining of stomachaches and cannot come out."
If one man and two women were removed before the man playing the God of Plague went on stage, the performance could still be completed according to the rehearsed order.
But just as the person playing the God of Plague came on stage, someone came to report that two women were ill.
"Why didn't you notify us in advance? Why are all of us suffering from stomachaches out of nowhere?"
The servant who reported the incident looked embarrassed: "One of those two women was taken away by General Zou, and the other was taken away by the Duke. Perhaps the Duke and General Zou did something to them..."
The person who was speaking also looked embarrassed. Now there were two women missing to go on stage, and there was one more plague god. Unless two of them jumped down at once, it would be difficult to complete the task.
You can jump down twice, which will easily expose your movements.
Moreover, the person playing the God of Plague was performing on stage, so there was no way to notify them. The ministers were all in high spirits, cheering and jumping for joy, as if they were bidding for the virginity of an upper-class courtesan. No one looked away, and it was impossible to arrange for someone to go up and report the news...
Jing Yuchen frowned and looked at Zou Yangyao and Shao Lecheng, who were looking at Jing Yuchen proudly at this moment.
Jing Yuchen frowned, "It's okay!"
Then he started walking backstage.
Watching Jing Yuchen leave in a hurry, Zou Yangyao and Shao Lecheng clinked their glasses and drank the wine together.
Under the expectant gaze of the ministers, those beautiful women appeared in the back, but they had changed the style of their masks and their clothes, and this time they were dressed very warmly.
Is this fear? Miao Qinghua feels ashamed when she sees exposed waists and arms?
They went on stage to drive away the plague god, but there were obviously two fewer women...
The plague gods jumped down from the mechanisms on the stage one by one. The ministers had seen it once, so they were not surprised. However, the people in the palace were fascinated by it and found it very interesting.
But what's surprising is that, given the current pace, not a single Plague God has stepped down? Does this mean the Plague God is inextricable?
Someone present had a changed expression and opened his mouth in dissatisfaction: "Why did the Plague God leave one more person behind? Regent, explain!"
The Plague God is something that everyone wants to drive away, something evil and hateful. Now there is another one, doesn't it mean that it has a bad meaning? It's unlucky?
But amid the crowd's dissatisfaction, those beautiful women held the man down. The man tried to struggle, but he had no room to resist and was subdued.
Afterwards, people carried firewood onto the stage again and again, and the firewood was piled up and spread out, and it was obvious that there was a fire.
Although the ministers were surprised, they only thought that the dance had improved and become more exciting.
A bonfire was set up, and the God of Plague struggled. Someone took a torch and lit the firewood on the stage. The beautiful women played the roles of medicinal herbs, and the men played the role of the God of Plague, but at this moment they were all swallowed by the fire.
Some people's expressions changed, thinking that someone was going to be burned to death in a bloody manner, but they did not hear any screams. They only saw thick smoke and the fire burning strangely with great force.
The ministers stood up, feeling puzzled and not knowing what was going on.
Miao Qinghua frowned, while Zou Yangyao and Shao Lecheng looked confused.
Jing Yuchen was seen walking towards the blazing fire.
Then he bowed respectfully to Miao Qinghua: "Queen Mother, the show is over!"
Miao Qinghua looked hesitant: "Where are the people? Were they burned to death?"
Jing Yuchen raised his head and explained helplessly, "If there really was a fire burning them, how could they not scream?"
Miao Qinghua and a group of ministers were all confused and looked at Jing Yuchen in puzzlement.
Jing Yuchen then began to explain: "The Queen Mother can send someone to check and see if the firewood in the front is on fire while the firewood in the back is not burned."
Miao Qinghua gave a wink, and immediately a palace servant walked over to check.
Sure enough, there was a fire burning on the firewood placed in the front, but not in the back, and not a single piece of firewood was lit.
The fire was blazing, but only the front was lit, not the back. This...
The palace maid stepped forward and stretched out her hand to test the firewood in front of her. Although the firewood in front was wet, it was sprinkled with oil.
When oil meets wet wood, it can still burn the oil above it, and when wet wood meets fire, thick smoke will be produced. The thick fog can be used to cover up the situation, and it becomes a perfect opportunity for these women and men to use the mechanism to leave the stage.
After the palace servant finished investigating, he reported the situation to Miao Qinghua. Miao Qinghua frowned slightly and said, "Send someone to put out the fire. Also, call those performers over here. I want to reward them!"
The palace maids left to do the job. Jing Yuchen looked at Zou Yangyao and Shao Lecheng. They both looked very depressed.
Soon, both the man and the woman came over and bowed to Miao Qinghua: "Greetings, Queen Mother."
Miao Qinghua glanced at everyone and then said, "I was delighted to see your performance today and found it quite innovative, so I'm going to reward you handsomely."
The palace servants had already brought the rewards over, and Miao Qinghua ordered, "Open them all."
After opening the item, Miao Qinghua smiled slightly: "For men, I give them swords; for women, I give them jewelry."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace!" Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted, looking very respectful.
The ministers also watched with joy, and all felt that this reward was quite appropriate.
