Allure of a Country Maiden

After the dragon boat race ended, the emperor drove back to the palace, and the reward was announced to the court the next morning.

There are many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and a dragon's body is standing like this in broad daylight. Even if the emperor doesn't think about his own life, he has to think about the people of the world, right? You have to think about the frightened and fearful guards, right? You have to think about the loyal civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, right?

If you expose your true identity to others in broad daylight, what if there is an assassin? So the emperor, queen, and queen mother returned to the palace soon.

The emperor left, the excitement on the Huaijiang River continued, and the people of the Imperial City began their dragon boat race.

Xiaoer and the others followed the emperor's carriage and horses back to the city.

Shangguan Xuanyi had to protect the emperor, so he did not ride in a carriage with Xiaoer.

After returning to Shengpinghou Mansion, after lunch, Xiaoer went back to his room to sleep.

She had been rowing dragon boats every day, and today she had exhausted all her strength and was almost exhausted.

After sleeping for more than an hour, she was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

In addition to the custom of dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival, almost every household will burn incense to worship ancestors. The form is also simple, that is, placing some sacrifices on the ancestors' tablets, lighting incense and candles, serving tea and wine, and finally putting on a bunch of firecrackers. It means that life is as loud as firecrackers.

Because the emperor was out of the city today, it was strictly forbidden to set off firecrackers in the city, so as not to disturb the emperor, so the people just started to worship their ancestors and set off firecrackers.

Suddenly a huge explosion sounded somewhere on the outskirts of the city, shocking the entire Imperial City.

Xiaoer's hand that was wiping her face with a cloth paused, and then she quickly wiped the water off her face.

"Yang Mei, send someone to find out what's going on with that loud noise?"

Yang Mei responded and went down to make arrangements.

Not long after, a huge explosion occurred again, and some black fire ash fell in the air. Thick smoke billows in the distant sky.

Xiaoer thought about the explosion in the firecracker workshop, which was a tragic event.

Zhao Yong rushed back immediately after finding out the news. It turned out that a firecracker workshop exploded on the outskirts of the city.

Xiaoer looked at him trying hard to suppress his excitement, and was a little confused. Why was he excited about the explosion? Did he blow up his enemy?

"Are there many casualties?"

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Most of the people in the workshop are on holiday. Only a few guards are left in the workshop. But Li Mingjun didn't know why he went to the workshop and was seriously injured. Two of Li Mingjun's boys were killed on the spot. ."

She thought she finally understood his excitement!

"The workshop belongs to the Li family?" If it was an accident, Xiaoer wouldn't believe it, but Shangguan's actions were really extraordinary.

"Yes." Zhao Yong nodded. Why is he so excited if he is not from the Li family!

"The explosion in the firecracker workshop must have been very powerful. Were anyone or anything nearby affected?" Xiaoer continued to ask.

Although she had some guesses that Shangguan Xuanyi would not be a person who cares about the lives of innocent people, she still couldn't help but ask.

"No, there was an explosion in a firecracker workshop, causing heavy casualties. The imperial court stipulated that firecracker workshops cannot be built in densely populated areas. There used to be two families near the workshop, and they moved away some time ago."

When the master does things, he always has the owner of the wrongdoing and the debtor, so how could he implicate innocent people!

Xiaoer nodded after hearing this. That means only members of the Li family suffered casualties!

Zhao Yong's excitement was too reasonable, and he was indeed loyal.

"How is Li Mingjun's injury?" Xiaoer asked again.

"Li Mingjun's hand was blown off and he was covered in blood." When Zhao Yong found out the news, he admired the sixth prince even more.

Xiaoer: Brother Shangguan is too cruel.

Li Mingjun burned one of his hands, so he blew up one of his hands.

Fortunately, he is not her enemy, but his lover.

A person like Shangguan Xuanyi will be kind to the people in his heart, and he will also be cruel to his enemies.

Since it was the Li family's business, Xiaoer didn't care.

When the family was having dinner, Li Mingfang came to the door.

Xiaoer asked someone to take her to the flower hall. She finished her meal slowly and drank tea before walking to see her.

Li Mingfang walked anxiously back and forth in the flower hall. She felt that the soles of her shoes were worn out, but no one showed up.

An unknown fire arose in her heart: "This is how the Shengping Marquis Mansion treats guests. Is there any etiquette left?"

Yang Liushou stood outside the door and said politely: "Miss Li, please wait a moment. Someone has been sent to invite my girl over. I think she is delayed by something!"

Did County Lord Rui'an completely ignore her and the Li family? Why should she!

After all, she had been a deputy general and the future third prince's concubine, but he didn't give her any face and left her here for a long time.

Li Mingfang walked around again and couldn't wait any longer. She was about to walk out.

Xiaoer walked over slowly.

"County Master Ruian, you have such a big air." Li Mingfang tried her best to suppress her anger, but she still couldn't help complaining.

"I was eating just now, and the maids didn't dare to disturb my meal, so they waited until I finished eating before going in to pass the news, making Miss Li wait for a long time." Xiaoer explained lukewarmly.

Li Mingfang almost vomited blood after hearing this! I was waiting here and drank a lot of tea, but she was eating slowly there! Is it a palace banquet? Eat it for an hour!

She must have done it on purpose.

But she had to bow her head because she had something to ask for, and Li Mingfang felt a little aggrieved.

She had already gone to Zhongyong Hou Mansion to look for Di Shaowei, but unfortunately Di Shaowei didn't see her. She asked her servants to send a message saying that she wanted to ask for one. Di Shaowei had taken it to the army to save her and her father's lives. Dishovi sent someone to say that there was no more good medicine, and all the medicine had been used up.

She naturally didn't believe this. She thought it was because of the incident where Ming Jingya fell into the lake last time that Di Shaowei had a grudge against Li Mingjun and he was unwilling to help her anymore.

She knew that Di Shaowei got those medicines from the head of Ruian County. The Ming army was too seriously injured and Di Shaowei didn't want to see her, so she had no choice but to come to Shengpinghou Mansion.

She never expected that County Lord Ruian would make her wait for an hour before showing up!

If she hadn't had the life-saving medicine in her hands, she would have left long ago because of her arrogance!

She didn't believe that County Lord Rui'an hadn't heard about Li Mingjun being seriously injured!

So she must have done it on purpose!

But what made Li Mingfang feel even more aggrieved was that she had to endure it even though she knew it was intentional!

Li Mingjun's injury was too serious, and the imperial doctor said that he had tried his best!

If I can't wake up tomorrow morning, there will be no way to save my life.

There is only one male in the Li family, Ming Jun, and nothing will happen to him! Otherwise, she can foresee how the Li family will fall in the near future!
