Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

"In that case, happy cooperation?"

Concubine Xu opened her red lips slightly, and said lazily: "If that's the case, then we'll have a happy cooperation?"

After saying this, his eyes moved with innate arrogance.

The virtuous concubine had a gentle smile on her lips and said softly, "Happy cooperation!"

Beneath that smile lies a shrewdness that is difficult for others to detect.

The two raised their glasses and clinked them lightly. Amid the crisp sound, a silent alliance was quietly formed.

Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, the imperial capital becomes more prosperous and lively.

In the streets and alleys, merchants from all over the world come and go, and a wide variety of goods are displayed on the streets.

As Emperor Chengming's birthday was approaching, the guards in the imperial capital became more strict, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, demonstrating the royal majesty everywhere.

On the day of his birthday, the golden crow rose and the amnesty order spread to all directions. The whole country celebrated and all the people congratulated him.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and people are laughing and talking, and joy is everywhere.

As night fell and the lights came on, a grand feast began in the palace. The imperial concubines were dressed in gorgeous clothes and swaying pearls and jades among the carved beams and painted buildings. Emperor Chengming and the Empress sat at the top, followed by Concubine Xu, Concubine Xian, Concubine Li, Concubine Wan Zhaoyi and other imperial concubines. Ministers sat down in order according to their ranks, and envoys from various countries also presented gifts. For a time, the atmosphere was lively and bustling.

At the palace banquet, the candles were shining and the sound of stringed instruments was lingering. The queen sat at the side, with a dignified manner. She never exchanged a word with Emperor Chengming from beginning to end, but just quietly maintained the superficial peace of the palace banquet. Emperor Chengming wanted to talk to the queen, but was repeatedly blocked by Ji Qingchen. Facing Ji Qingchen's indifference, Emperor Chengming did not get too entangled, after all, he had long been accustomed to it. On the contrary, Concubine Xu, she smiled sweetly, was passionate and charming, and Emperor Chengming was very happy and intoxicated by her tenderness.

A few days ago, the noble lady Sun, who had been infatuated with Emperor Chengming for a while, was so bold that she dared to use the art of annihilation to murder His Majesty, which angered His Majesty and she was given poisoned wine and died. When this happened, everyone just treated it as a topic of conversation after dinner and laughed it off.

However, those who are concerned will inevitably have doubts. Although Concubine Sun is not extremely smart, she is not so stupid as to do such a stupid thing at such an important moment, and it was discovered so easily.

Everyone speculated that this might be the work of a concubine.

However, after investigation, no evidence was found, and Emperor Chengming did not investigate the matter further. Such an attitude is really puzzling.

Most of the suspicion was directed at Concubine Xu. After all, her dislike for Concubine Sun was always made public.

But Concubine Xu acted honestly and remained calm in the face of everyone's suspicion.

In the eyes of everyone, she is proud and arrogant, so how could she bother to fight with such despicable means?

Perhaps, Lady Sun was really so stupid? After thinking about it, everyone could only convince themselves with this.

Emperor Chengming recalled the past when he acted as a hero and saved Concubine Sun in the Chengde Summer Palace, and then the two of them had physical contact unexpectedly.

He already had the idea that "no one else should dare to touch a woman who is pregnant with his child". In addition, Concubine Sun's appearance and personality were like a fusion of Concubine Xu and Concubine Wan. Although she was slightly inferior, she was also novel in her own way, so he doted on her.

This naturally aroused the jealousy of Concubine Xu.

Thinking about it this way, even if Concubine Xu did not take direct action in the death of Concubine Sun, she probably just let it go.

Ever since he discovered that Concubine Sun was trying to murder him with a cursed object, Emperor Chengming has been extra careful about his life.

For two consecutive days, he rested in his own main palace and did not turn over the green cards of other concubines.

Today is a birthday banquet in the palace. There are many guards patrolling in the open, and there are also experts hiding their auras and guarding closely in the dark. We thought it would be foolproof.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. More than 20 masked men in black emerged from nowhere and attacked the concubines like ghosts.

Five of the men in black rushed straight towards Emperor Chengming.

At the critical moment of life and death, Emperor Chengming found strength from nowhere and grabbed the empress to block the sword, then he pulled away and ran away even further.

Nan Xiang, who had been waiting not far away, saw the whole scene, and suddenly an uncontrollable anger rose in her heart, as well as a trace of worry that she herself had not even noticed.
