THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 26. Bell
***Palace Hall of Emperor Wei***
Eunuch Xiao Duo whispered in Wei Bu Yi's ear and gave a report that the palace attendant escorted Ying Ying to a distant place to change clothes. Whereas Eunuch Xiao Duo knew there was a dressing room close to the palace banquet.
Wei Bu Yi spread his gaze around. The palace attendant who escorted Ying Ying and Tan Xiang to the dressing room had not returned to the palace hall so no one suspected and questioned where Ying was.
Whereas Ying Ying's departure had already been over thirty minutes. Fruits as a dessert dinner menu have also been served at the table of every invited guest.
Wei Bu Yi glanced at Chang Ru. Chang Ru was peeling the skin of the grapes thoroughly, then placed the grapefruit in a clean bowl and gave it to Wei Wu Xian.
The game of guzheng earlier made the anger in Wei Wu Xian's heart have subsided a little so that Wei Wu Xian did not reject the fruit given by Chang Ru.
Chang Ru smiled widely and helped pour wine into Wei Wu Xian's cup. Wei Wu Xian was satisfied with the service and obedient attitude that Chang Ru had given him.
Of course Chang Ru tried even more to gain Wei Wu Xian's attention and affection because most of the young girls who performed the talent show earlier could snatch away most of Wei Wu's affection Xian.
Chang Ru only needed to maintain her position as the crown princess and immediately gave a little prince as a descendant to guarantee her position.
Wei Bu Yi saw clearly that Chang Ru's main focus was Wei Wu Xian, while Bai Lu also paid no attention to Ying Ying and intended to humiliate Ying Ying earlier so that they could be sure they would not come out of the hall to look for Ying Ying.
"Chang Le is in danger!" inner Prince Wei Bu Yi.
Prince Wei Bu Yi stood up from his seat so suddenly that it became the center of attention of the invited guests.
"What's Miss Yi?" ask Emperor Wei.
"Yahanda! The lotus flower was already blooming in the palace pond. Bu Yi wanted to take his father to see him," Wei Bu Yi replied.
Emperor Wei was surprised by Wei Bu Yi's invitation because since the death of Queen Xu seven years ago, Wei Bu Yi became quiet and rarely spoke privately with Emperor Wei, except for issues of security and stability of the Kingdom of Wei and wars with other kingdoms.
Emperor Wei was very pleased with Wei Bu Yi's change in attitude and accepted Wei Bu Yi's invitation enthusiastically.
"Yes! Let's all go to enjoy the beautiful lotus flowers in the palace pond!" emperor Wei.
"Okay, Emperor Wei!"
The entourage of Emperor Wei headed for the palace pond. Queen Wen and Consort Ming Lan stood on the left and right sides of Emperor Wei. Queen Wen stared intently at the back of Prince Wei Bu Yi, who was in the front row and walked quickly.
"It's too late, Wei Bu Yi! You will only find Li Chang Le's corpse!" inner Queen Wen.
While Wei Wu Xian, Chang Ru, and Bai Lu who were at the very back of the line were swept away in their respective minds.
Wei Wu Xian was envious and threatened with his position because Emperor Wei was overjoyed to accept the invitation of Prince Wei Bu Yi, bai Lu and Chang Ru had a feeling that Prince Wei Bu Yi wanted to find Chang Le who had not returned to the dinner party yet.
***
Prince Wei Bu Yi's premonition was very precise. On the way to the palace hall, Ying Ying and Tan Xiang were attacked by a man dressed in all black with a black cloth that tightly closed the man's face so that only a pair of eyes could be seen.
Tan Xiang protected Ying Ying behind his back and fought desperately against the man.
The man's sword managed to injure Tan Xiang's right shoulder, but the blow from Tan Xiang's left hand made the sword fall onto the ground.
The man paid no heed to his fallen sword and Tan Xiang. The goal is to kill Ying Ying as soon as possible, but Ying Ying's death must be engineered and must not look like murder.
The man pulled Ying Ying's right hand and pushed her into the palace pond. The man knew that Li Chang Le could not swim and almost drowned some time ago.
Before Ying Ying fell into the pool, the five silver needles held with his left hand, stabbed right at the back of the man's hand quickly.
"ah! It hurts!" shouted the man while staring at the back of his bloody hand.
"Miss Chang Le!" shouted Tan Xiang.
Byurs!
"Damn it!" screech the man and jump into the pool.
The man was originally going to kill Tan Xiang and hide Tan Xiang's corpse. The man had not expected Tan Xiang to jump into the pool so quickly as he complained of pain.
***
Ying Ying was swimming over the surface of the pond when he saw the appearance of Tan Xiang. Ying Ying gestured his fingers towards the top and Tan Xiang replied with a nod of his head.
Ying Ying and Tan Xiang swam even faster when they saw the all-black clothed man swimming towards them.
The man was shocked to see Ying Ying could swim so his task of killing Ying Ying was still a failure. The man immediately pulled Ying Ying's right foot to have Ying Ying drown. Ying Ying thrashed and tried to break away, while Tan Xiang swam down and tried to remove the man's hand from Ying Ying's leg.
Tan Xiang's help left Ying Ying's legs free, but the man did not give up.
The man deliberately hit the injured shoulder of Tan Xiang so hard that Tan Xiang's blood flowed more. Tan Xiang's face was pale instantly and his consciousness was almost gone.
The man smiled sinisterly as he saw Ying Ying not swimming upwards to save himself, but instead trying to help Tan Xiang.
"Bas an idiot!" the inner man.
The man was sure as long as Tan Xiang was in his hands, then Ying Ying would be out of breath for too long inside the pond. While he himself has the ability to hold his breath for a long time due to training since childhood so as not to worry about the safety of his own life.
"Tan Xiang's! Tan Xiang's!" inner Ying Ying.
The incident of Chang Le drowning and trying to help Ying Ying in the water pool of General Li Jin's Residence appeared in Ying Ying's current mind.
Tears flowed profusely on Ying Ying's cheeks as she was afraid of failing to save Tan Xiang, just like Chang Le back then. Ying Ying who was out of breath, tried to reach Tan Xiang's hand.
***
Meanwhile, Emperor Wei's entourage had already arrived near the lotus pond. Wei Bu Yi circulated his gaze around to look for the figure of Ying Ying.
"You blood!" inner Wei Bu Yi.
The experience of fighting on the battlefield made Prince Wei Bu Yi's sense of smell more sensitive than anyone else.
The smell of blood evaporating in the air made Prince Wei Bu Yi look for the source and find some drops of blood near the palace pond. In addition, there was a sword not far from some of the drops of blood. Even Wei Bu Yi's sharp vision of seeing hanfu gift from him to Li Chang Le was also above ground.
"Where is Li Chang Le?"inner Wei Bu Yi while circulating a glance around.
The cring! The cring!
Suddenly Wei Bu Yi heard a loud bell and also the sound of water. Wei Bu Yi's mind was reflected in the bell-band bracelet on Ying Ying's wrist.
"Chang Le!" inner Wei Bu Yi.
Wei Bu Yi jumped into the lotus pond quickly. Eunuch Xiao Duo and Eunuch Da Duo jumped into the pool.
