As soon as I got up, before I was ready to leave, I thought of Concubine Chen’s voice behind me.
"Qiye, wait a moment"
Instead of calling her King Pluto, she chose the name Ming Qiye.
This is not allowed in the palace, because Concubine Chen's identity is Sima Jifeng's concubine, how can she call another man's name?
Xia Luoying listened, with a sarcastic smile on her face
Ming Qiye looked at it, feeling a little heartbroken, heartbroken by how she looked at this moment.
He knew he hurt her and he didn't like seeing her like this
Looking coldly at Concubine Chen not far away, Ming Qiye pretended to be distant and said, "I wonder what Concubine Chen is doing?"
Seeing Ming Qiye's coldness, Concubine Chen seemed to be used to it. She smiled faintly and walked forward.
"The Queen Mother said that the dinner party is about to start, and asked me to invite Pluto and Princess Pluto to the palace, and then go to the dinner hall together. There are many people in the dinner hall, so the road will naturally be safer."
Concubine Chen said calmly, with a smile on her lips. The last words were meant for Xia Luoying.
Xia Luoying did not accept her so-called kindness
Such a woman who appears to be one thing but behind the scenes has seen enough, and there is no need to have any more faith in her.
"Um"
Ming Qiye responded without any extra words, and supported Xia Luoying and started to walk towards the Queen Mother's palace.
Concubine Chen was left behind. She stared at Ming Qiye's back full of longing, and stared at Xia Luoying's back full of resentment.
The fists at the sides were clenched tightly, and the corners of the mouth shouted a smile of victory.
----------------------------------------
The Queen Mother's palace soon arrived, and it was getting dark by then.
After resting for a while in the Queen Mother's palace, we set off to the hall where the dinner was held.
A large group of people walked on the cobblestone road
Originally, the Queen Mother should be the one to make the Phoenix chariot, but because Xia Luoying was pregnant and clumsy, and it was not safe to walk at night, the Queen Mother hereby allowed her to also make the chariot.
Two phoenix chariots were walking one behind the other, surrounded by a group of maids and eunuchs.
The dark night was so quiet that one could not help but feel the slightest chill.
Mid-Autumn Festival also means the beginning of autumn. It is inevitable that the weather will be cool at night.
However, the atmosphere tonight was not filled with the joy of the members at all. Instead, it was full of a sense of danger.
Especially, when a gust of cold wind blows, the surrounding air suddenly becomes much colder.
The eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair also trembled unsteadily, causing the sedan chair to tremble a few times.
Xia Luoying subconsciously clung to the edge of the sedan chair, and Ming Qiye also looked at her worriedly, just in case.
Suddenly, the danger in the air suddenly rose at the next moment. Ming Qiye guarded Xia Luoying vigilantly, but the black shadow flying down from the high wall was not coming towards Xia Luoying.
The black shadow headed straight towards the Queen Mother, and immediately eunuchs and maids shouted in surprise: "Escort - escort - there are assassins - there are assassins -"
At the critical moment, when the Queen Mother was about to be stabbed by the man in black, Concubine Chen stepped forward rationally, protected the Queen Mother, and withstood the assassin's sword that penetrated her back.
In an instant, Ming Qiye left Xia Luoying's side and headed towards the assassin.
Among this group of people, he is the only one with excellent martial arts skills who can deal with the assassin who is so good just by looking at him.
