Concubine's poisonous plot

This scene made everyone feel unhappy. The head of the guard was even a little afraid to see people and quickly lowered his head.

However, Ma Mingzhen was not affected. Anyway, he tried just now and still couldn't climb up smoothly.

Being brought down by him saved him from falling down.

Some people don't see it that way. After all, Ma Mingzhen's act of helping just now was very obvious, and although the guard didn't mean it, his instinct was to hurt others. How could such a guard be expected to protect his master in the future?

"That guard is outrageous..." the Queen Mother said.

The emperor said nothing and his expression was unclear.

The eldest princess said: "Different ability levels and different instinctive reactions, as long as nothing happens."

This statement made it impossible for others to speak.

There is really no need to say anything about this matter.

The competition in the field was still going on. The guard just looked at Ma Mingzhen with a guilty look on his face.

"It's okay, none of us were injured." Ma Mingzhen said proactively.

After hearing this, the guard became even more ashamed.

He himself announced that he was withdrawing from the competition.

His master did not object, but felt that he had made a wise decision.

After the guard went down, the remaining people in the field were still working hard.

Ma Mingzhen stood on the ground and observed the length of the rope and the height of the big red flower on it.

He then weighed how high he could lift and how he could use his strength in the future.

In the end, while others were still trying to climb up, he suddenly flew up. Then, with lightning speed, he took out the dagger in his sleeve, quickly stuck it on the rope, and continued to fly upward with the help of his strength.

This operation has very strict requirements on the timing and speed of Qinggong and drawing the sword. It looks simple but is very difficult to do.

After using this method two or three times in succession, Ma Mingzhen finally got the big red flower.

When flying down, the originally hanging rope fell down and accidentally hit a palace lantern, which then burned directly because it was soaked in oil.

Seeing the fire, the people who had just wanted to cheer for him screamed again and again, reminding everyone that there was a fire.

Those who were still on the rope jumped off and dispersed to the side, because they were covered in oil and could easily ignite.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Xiao Yuanan, who had not spoken for a long time, ordered confidently.

Ma Mingzhen didn't move. His hands, sweat towel, and the area where the guard had just grabbed him were all covered in oil. He went to put out the fire, but he also caused the fire and burned himself.

And he looked carefully. Although the rope crushed the palace lantern, there was nothing else that could burn next to it. When the rope was burned out, the fire would naturally go out, so he just stood still holding the big red flower. .

This scene made the Queen Mother unable to stand it anymore: "He didn't see the fire, or didn't he hear Yuan'an's words?"

Queen Wei didn't speak. She was actually starting to get angry. She could already see that this was Xiao Yuanan's intention.

After spending so much time dealing with a guard and ruining his brother's wedding banquet, is his mind going crazy?

She endured the anger in her heart and couldn't let it out at this time.

The emperor had no expression on his face, quietly waiting for their follow-up treatment.

On the contrary, Concubine Rou was frightened, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, for fear that others would say she was pretentious.

The sound of such a thick rope falling, the smashing of the palace lantern, and the scene of an instant fire are indeed heart-stopping.

The emperor noticed it and immediately asked with concern: "My beloved concubine, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother was accustomed to paying attention to Concubine Rou's face at this time. If her fetal condition was not very stable, she would not have wanted her to attend today.

As a result, it turned out like this. Could it be possible that the fetus was moving?

The Queen Mother was worried that her grandson would be affected, so she said anxiously: "Hurry up and ask Yun Zhao to help you take a look."

After saying that, she ignored others, waved her hand towards Shu Yunzhao, and shouted: "Yunzhao, come quickly, Concubine Rou was just frightened."

Shu Yunzhao felt unhappy about her gesture, but Concubine Rou's body was important, so she didn't care about it. Instead, she quickly picked up the medicine box she carried with her and walked towards Concubine Rou.

The fire was also extinguished by the palace guards who arrived, and everyone was waiting for the results of Concubine Rou's examination.

Xiao Yian and Wei Lanzhen were already livid. If they didn't understand what happened, there would be no need to compete for those two positions.

Fortunately, there was no danger on the part of Concubine Rou, and the fetal condition was still very stable. However, the sudden situation just now made Concubine Rou's heart rate slightly faster, and it would calm down after a while.

The emperor was just about to say, let Concubine Rou go back to rest, when he heard Xiao Yuanan open his mouth and ask: "That guard, do you know your guilt?"

Of course he was talking about Ma Mingzhen. The fire just now was caused by him.

Ma Mingzhen said very calmly: "Back to the second prince, I don't know."

Xiao Yuanan sneered. This made Shu Yunzhao very disgusted. Why do these villains have to sneer before they say harsh words? How greasy...

"You entered the palace with a murder weapon. Let's not talk about it. You just used a dagger to cut the rope, causing the rope to fall off and catch fire. This alerted Concubine Rou. Fortunately, Concubine Rou and the fetus in her belly were fine. But you disrupted the emperor's brother's wedding banquet, acted recklessly, and almost put the emperor's heir in danger. As a bodyguard, do you know what crime you deserve?"

With such a big hat off, there is no mention of rewards for winning competitions. It is obvious that accountability is required.

Xiao Yian already felt that he was an idiot. Although others could not say anything about him, this kind of targeting was too strong. He didn't want to participate, so he kept encouraging the invitation. But he did participate. Except for the mistakes, he was immediately convicted.

If this kind of behavior was said to be without premeditation, who would be willing to believe it?

He had been planning for a long time, just to deal with a guard, or to give Xiao Jinyao a blow?

But this method is too failed.

Sure enough, the ministers had strange expressions on their faces, but no one dared to help and intercede.

"What crime does the second prince think this villain deserves?" Ma Mingzhen still looked calm and not afraid.

Xiao Yuanan said very seriously: "According to the law, you should be punished with fifty sticks and put in prison. Today is the wedding of the emperor's brother. I will spare you ten sticks. You are my cousin. I will spare you ten sticks. I just competed. If you win, the reward will be gone. If you offset ten more sticks, then you will be punished with twenty sticks. You should be content if you are not directly sentenced to murdering the emperor's heir. Can you accept the punishment?"

Everyone present remained silent. This punishment, if imposed on others, is indeed not excessive. Moreover, what the second prince said was that he was carrying a dagger and caused the rope to break, which led to what happened next. This is also true. .

Who told Ma Mingzhen to be just a guard? He could only admit that he was unlucky.

Xiao Yuanan specifically asked Xiao Jinyao: "Cousin, do you have any objections to how I handle it?"

Xiao Jinyao asked calmly: "Who gave me the right to handle it?"
