Chapter 446
The Wen family is a world of loyalty. Even the ancestral motto is "Be loyal to the emperor and serve the country." It is impossible to refute it, but there is no way to make His Majesty take off his guard...

Wen Rong drank the wine in the glass calmly, thinking of a solution to this problem.

Because of the distance, Wen Xiao couldn't see the expression on her father's face clearly. She drank the wine in the glass lazily, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a water-blue figure swaying from the corner of her eye and disappeared at the banquet.

Why does this figure look so much like Su Lan?
Isn't she grounded?

Wen Xiao turned her head and told the little palace maid to go and have a look, while she still sat in her seat calmly, eating and drinking.

There are special people watching her left and right, so there shouldn't be any big waves.

Before he knew it, the dinner party was more than half in progress. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Nie Hong got up, took Wen Xiao's hand, and walked towards the garden.

The ministers also cheered and all got up, followed behind Nie Hong and Wen Xiao, and walked to the lake to watch the fireworks.

Clusters of fireworks exploded in the air, and the beautiful firelight reflected on everyone's faces, like light and shadow, like a dream.

Nie Hong grabbed Wen Xiao's hand and walked forward step by step.

But just when the two of them stood still by the lake, there was a noise from the nearby grove.

Nie Hong frowned and motioned Li Derong to see what happened.

Li Derong hurried over and hurried back.

"Replying to Your Majesty, a lady was accidentally bitten by a snake that came out of the woods. I just asked the accompanying imperial doctor to take a look."

"Snake?" When Wen Xiao heard this word, her first reaction was not fear, but confusion.

The palace is the place where the emperor lives, and every part of the garden is taken care of by a special person. It is necessary to ensure that every part of the palace is under the control of the emperor, and naturally no creature that would endanger the safety of the emperor will be allowed to appear. All right, how come there are snakes?
Nie Hong also frowned, obviously thinking of this.

But before he ordered someone to investigate, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the forest.

The few guards standing by stood up and rushed into the forest without hesitation, obviously sensing something was wrong.

Wen Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Sure enough, just as the whistle sounded, screams erupted from the crowd beside the forest, and the originally neat team suddenly fell into chaos, especially the family members of the ministers, all of them were pale, as if they had seen The most terrifying creature in the world, who knows nothing but running.

Li Derong yelled "Guardian" at the top of his voice, and spread his arms like an old hen, guarding Nie Hong. Beside him was the serious-looking Imperial Forest Army who had just arrived.

The moment the screams started, Nie Hong pulled Wen Xiao into his arms, as if he was afraid that she would be scared, and he seemed to be afraid that she would be dispersed by the chaotic crowd.

The guards had already rushed forward, but facing a group of panicked ladies and ladies from aristocratic families, they could not pull them away or speak out. They could only try their best to maintain order and at the same time evacuate the crowd to the other side away from the forest.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, this is just an ordinary cauliflower snake, it's not poisonous—" the head guard rushed to the edge of the forest and shouted loudly, "Calm down, don't fall into the tricks of the assassin!"

The first sentence was for the wives of the aristocratic family, but the latter sentence was to remind the Imperial Forest Army around the emperor.
