[69 Book Bar - www.] The palace at night has a kind of solemnity and majesty, and at the same time, its magnificence and grandeur will be more clearly displayed.
This was Qingyu's first time to attend a night banquet in the palace, and she was still serving as Princess Yu.
Since this was the Empress Dowager's 70th birthday, Nangong Che held a grand birthday banquet for her, and also invited hundreds of civil and military officials from the DPRK and China to come with their families.
Because of the large number of people this time, the banquet was held outside.
Nangong Che also considered that the Empress Dowager was too old to be exposed to the wind, so he ordered his servants to pull up two-foot-high curtains around the venue to block the night wind blowing from all directions.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the surrounding layout as soon as she arrived here, and she repeatedly praised Nangong Che for her thoughtfulness.
As nobles in the palace, the prince and the first-rank ministers all have independent positions. Others are seated according to their official ranks. The lower the rank, the farther back they are.
Qingyu and Nangong Lu sat together. In the eyes of outsiders, they were a loving couple. Nangong Lu would even pick up food for her and smile at her from time to time.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager saw it in their eyes and saw that they could get along with each other lovingly, and they were really happy for them. But Nangong Che's eyebrows darkened slightly, and the anger in his heart burned again.
...
Banquets with singing and dancing can always make people intoxicated, but after entering the palace, how many people are happy? Qingyu has never liked such occasions, whether it is a night banquet or a family banquet, in her heart
, there is nothing more satisfying than eating a home-cooked meal together as a family in harmony.
"Is the princess feeling unwell?" Nangong Lu saw that she was not eating well, so he deliberately asked.
The couple were very close to Nangong Che and the Queen Mother, so as long as they spoke, they could hear them, unless they deliberately lowered their voices.
"No." Qingyu replied softly, her eyes falling on the stage in front of her again.
Nangong Lu continued, "The princess has just recovered from a serious illness. If she feels uncomfortable, don't endure it. This will make the king feel distressed."
After the Empress Dowager heard this, the smile on her lips became more obvious, and she said loudly, "Lü'er really knows how to care about people!" After saying that, she looked at Qingyu and said, "If you are really uncomfortable, just tell me
Come out, you can go back first."
Qingyu raised her head and looked towards her, and she also saw Nangong Che in her sight.
"I'm fine." She replied, actually telling Nangong Che that he didn't have to worry about her.
Nangong Lu saw Nangong Che winking at her. Although they just looked at each other, he knew that they were flirting.
...
If the following incident had not happened, I believe no one at this venue would have known that there was such a relationship between the three of them.
Suddenly, dozens of men in black fell from the sky in the venue where the music was always going on. The appearance of those people broke the atmosphere of the venue. In an instant, it was like a pot exploding, and screams and panic filled the night sky!
"Catch the assassin! There is an assassin!" The guards shouted, and the sudden movement also attracted more guards.
Nangong Che immediately stood up to protect the Queen Mother Zhou Quan, while Nangong Lu immediately took Qingyu's hand and asked her to hide behind him. He thought this was a play directed and performed by Nangong Che.
The purpose was to take advantage of the chaos to eradicate him, but those men in black seemed to be heading for Nangong Che, and dozens of people rushed towards him just like him!
Qingyu was shocked, thinking these people were sent by Nangong Lu, and shouted, "Be careful!"
Nangong Che also thought it was the troops sent by Nangong Lu. After all, except for him who wanted him dead, no one in the world had the courage to enter the palace and assassinate him!
Nangong Che frowned deeply and ordered in a cold voice, "Escort the Queen Mother away first!"
The guards who came to escort her all surrounded the Empress Dowager to ensure that the assassins would not hurt her.
"Che'er, be careful!" The Empress Dowager also shouted. The first person to doubt in her heart was Nangong Lu. When she was escorted away, she took a deep look at Nangong Lu, as if asking
He, these people were sent by him!
The people who had become the target of suspicion were also doubtful at this moment. Nangong Lu felt that these people were well-trained killers, and ordinary people could not afford to hire them. He thought, could it be a play directed and acted by Nangong Che, just for this purpose?
Are you putting the blame on him? If so, then this move is really shameless!
"Let me go!" Qingyu yelled. She didn't want him to protect her in a pretentious manner. She hated the thought of these people being sent by him!
Regardless of her struggle, Nangong Lu held her catkins with one hand and fought back against the men in black with the other.
Nangong Che is also worried about Qingyu's safety. He is afraid that Nangong Lu will suddenly let go of her hand and leave her in danger!
Seeing that all the men in black were beheaded, the palace guards also arrived.
It is said that two fists are difficult to beat with four hands. No matter how good the skills of those men in black are, a few dozen people cannot compete with hundreds of Jin Yiwei. Not to mention that there are so many masters in the palace, it is not easy to successfully assassinate the current emperor.
.
Qingyu watched those men in black fall one by one, and her heart felt like it was being lifted up. She was dedicated to helping the world, and she had never seen killing before, but tonight, she watched those men fall one by one on her own.
In front of her, there was a river of blood on the ground, and her heart was aching!
After all the assassins were killed, the commander of the guards came forward and reported, "Go back to the emperor, all the assassins have been brought to justice."
Nangong Che frowned, and he glanced at Nangong Lu, making it clear that he was suspicious of him, "Find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and hang the corpses of these rebels on the tower for three days to serve as a warning to others!"
"It's the Emperor!" the commander responded sonorously.
"It's the Emperor!" the commander responded sonorously, and the guards were already carrying the corpse.
Qingyu couldn't stand it anymore, her eyebrows swelled into a small hill, and she felt that the surroundings were filled with the smell of blood, which made her feel sick!
At this time, Nangong Lu also let go of her hand, thinking that the danger was gone. Unexpectedly, a corpse on the ground suddenly stood up and attacked Nangong Che at the speed of the wind.
This scene was really unexpected, and everyone’s eyes were horrified!
"Ache!" Qingyu blurted out and ran towards him desperately.
"Qingyu!" A scream suddenly sounded, but everything happened too fast, and it seemed that there was no time to see clearly. When everyone came to their senses, they saw Princess Yu blocking the emperor with her body, and the ice blade entered.
The sound of the body came clearly, it was creepy!
"Qingyu! Qingyu!" Nangong Che hugged her limp body and called her name, looking at her with distressed and panicked eyes.
