Due to the sudden assassination, the atmosphere in the great hall was extremely strange. Although the Empress Dowager said they could all leave, the tribute they brought had not yet been presented to the Emperor. Was it proper to just leave like that?

  Ye Su'e then took advantage of the 'chaos' to walk over to Ye Ru's side and said: "Third sister, are you going to...?" The Emperor just said that Third Sister was supposed to kneel at the palace gate, but with this unexpected turn of events, is she still going to go?

  Ye Feng shot her a sideways glance, his eyes flashing with rebuke: "Can't you just shut up? We're sisters of the same family, do you feel good seeing me get punished?" Originally everyone had forgotten, but she had to bring it up again!

  "Yè sù yuàn's face stiffened, looking hurt as she stared at her: "Third sister, why would you say something like that? When has older sister ever had such intentions?" She was clearly concerned about third sister, so why did third sister always maliciously misinterpret her?"

  "With a 'flower' in one's heart, everything is seen as a 'flower'." Ye Wanhuang walked over with a smile, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain towards Ye Ruxue. "It's just because you only have malice in your heart, so you see others with malice too. Ye Ruxue, you should take a good look at what you've become - being arrogant and reckless will only lead to your demise!"

  At this time, she really felt that the silly and foolish third sister was much better than now! At least she wouldn't be so arrogant and reckless, doing things without considering the consequences, having no sense of responsibility for the entire Wang Fu, and not even thinking about how her actions would affect the reputation of others in the Fu!

  No one can stand by and watch, let alone those who have so much to do with her.

  When her actions are linked to the life and death of others, she no longer has the qualification to act arbitrarily. It's just that she hasn't figured this out yet, so she is still so willful.

  Nan Yunxuan, who was walking over, suddenly remembered that when she and Ye Ruxue were together, the most they talked about was the intrigue and infighting among the sisters in the mansion, the grandmother's lack of benevolence, the aunt's strictness and hypocrisy, and even the flaws of this dynasty's system. In her eyes, there was no beauty, only negativity.

  In one's heart there is 'flower', everywhere in sight are 'flowers'.

  Maybe he saw too narrowly and was too stubborn, so he thought that this kind of thing was particularly worth cherishing.

  But tonight, she gave him too many shocks and surprises.

  Dressed in revealing clothes, dancing with abandon, words and deeds completely devoid of the free and easy style he had previously impressed him with, even to the point of being rude in front of royalty, doing something as shameless as plagiarism!

  She no longer has those characteristics he likes on her body.

  What is called "unconventional" is simply because there are no rules and no understanding of etiquette.

  He was actually blinded before, and now thinking back to the first meeting at the wine tower, her words and deeds were not outstanding at all. Even if others knew about it, they would only say that she was very disrespectful, saying something like "a woman should be strong".

  Thinking like this, Nan Yunxuan's gaze at Ye Ruxue was no longer so gentle, and he couldn't even understand why he had followed her with a mad passion.

  "Ajyun, tell me, what's so special about Ye Ruoxue?" Nan Yunxuan furrowed his brow in confusion, his gaze sweeping over Ye Ruoxue as she looked at Ye Suxin with disdain. If it were in the past, he would have thought that Ye Suxin was intentionally acting pitiful to make others misunderstand Ye Ruoxue, but after hearing their conversation, he felt that Ye Ruoxue was truly arrogant.

  "Second sister, no one is watching us now, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful and seek sympathy! And as for you, Ye Wanwan, I am your sister. Although I couldn't care less about having a sister like you, but according to what you said, we are sisters after all. You should still pay attention to some rules when you're outside!" Ye Ruxue sneered at Ye Wanwan from the moment she spoke up, and she knew that Ye Wanwan was a black-hearted lotus!

  Ye Wanwan didn't argue with her, instead she coldly laughed and gazed at her with icy eyes: "Ye Ruxue, you're really pitiful!" After that, she didn't care about Ye Ruxue's reaction and directly pulled the still heartbroken Ye Suxin away.

  Night Frost glared and laughed, coldly gazing at Qing Luan who had been silently standing by: "She says I'm pitiful? Is Night Wan Hua crazy?! What do I have to be pitiful about!" How ridiculous! She's a high-end talent of the 21st century, possessing knowledge that these foolish natives can't even comprehend! She could establish her own kingdom! Even become an empress herself! Before, she only wanted to build a kingdom free from worldly control, but now she no longer thinks that way. The kingdom she wants to build is one that transcends worldly conventions - she wants to be the 'Queen'!

  But anyway, why did she always feel that the silhouette of that assassin at first glance looked familiar? ——

  Horizontal line——

  It wasn't until Nan Jiu and the others rushed out that they realized Wei Wu Emperor had directly taken Xia Ying Shen to rest in Long Qian Hall, which was the bedroom of emperors throughout the ages. In the entire imperial palace, only the Empress had the qualifications to stay there overnight, not even Liang Gui Fei, who was the most favored, had ever rested there before.

  Nan Qi slightly furrowed his brow, even though he had always known that the Emperor valued Xia Taishi highly, but he hadn't expected it to be to this extent. Such favor was unprecedented in all the dynasties! Which high-ranking official could rest in the Emperor's bedchamber?

  Seeing Nan Jiu and Nan Yi Ke were both frowning with worry, he comforted them in a warm voice: "Don't worry, the imperial physician will probably be able to make it better when he arrives."

  Nan Jiu's lips were pursed tightly, with a hint of hesitation: "It's my fault, if I had reacted earlier, Xia Taishi wouldn't have gotten hurt..." He could imagine how panicked Mengmeng would be seeing Xia Taishi get hurt, she only has this one father! No matter how good her brother is, he doesn't have the power to intimidate the imperial court, let alone being a illegitimate child.

  Nan Yi Xun patted his shoulder and frowned, "Old Ninth! You're thinking too much! This time having an assassin was also something we didn't think of, let alone you still have injuries on your body."

  Nan Qi heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, his eyes deepening. The guards for this imperial banquet were arranged by him, it was a practical task given to him by the Emperor as the Crown Prince, even wanting others to see what he could do as the Crown Prince. But such a mistake occurred, how outsiders looked at it wasn't important, what he's worried about now is whether the Emperor will suspect him or not?

  Several people quickly stepped into the front yard of Longqing Temple and saw Su Yongwen pacing anxiously at the gate.

  "Director Su, I wonder how Taifu is doing now?" Nan Qi spoke first, her elegant face full of worry.

  Su Yongwen saw them coming and hurried up, saying in a low voice: "Several masters have arrived, now the imperial physician of the Tai Hospital is all inside, and has not made a sound yet!" It seems that the location of the stab wound is very dangerous! He had never seen the emperor so anxious before!

  Nan Jiu Yi was taken aback and looked around, asking: "Where's Miss Xia?" She came first!

  Unexpectedly, Su Yongwen was stunned and asked in surprise: "Miss Xia? Miss Xia has never been here before!"
