On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

"I dare not, but some of what Madam Shufei said is not right, and I am dissatisfied, so I want the emperor to help me."

Mu Xiaoxiao's behavior can be said to be a perfect example of the word "petty".

When everyone was secretly worried about Princess Dingbei, Emperor Mingqing suddenly laughed.

Empress Fu, who was standing by, glanced at Emperor Mingqing and was about to stand up, but was grabbed by the emperor.

Turning around, she met the smiling eyes of Emperor Ming Qing, "Look at you, look at you, your sister-in-law, she's already protecting her daughter-in-law before she even enters the house."

There was no concealment in what he said, and it established the favor of the Dingbei Palace in front of all the officials.

"Alright, alright. I am not one of those petty people. Since Princess Dingbei has said so, I will not embarrass your relatives."

His words were full of protection for Su Sui'an.

After lightly discussing Su Sui'an's matter, he mentioned Murong Qian again.

"The Su family girl is going to sober up. How come the third brother is also drunk?"

An eunuch who served Murong Qian knelt carefully in front of Emperor Mingqing, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince..."

"Xiao Dezi, how dare you?"

Before the eunuch could finish his words, another eunuch stepped forward and covered the mouth of the eunuch named "Xiao Dezi", regardless of the guards around him trying to stop him.

Xiao Dezi struggled with the eunuch and soon broke free from his shackles.

"I really can't bear to see the Third Prince worrying about a woman. Does the Emperor really want to break up the couple?"

Beating a mandarin duck with a stick?

Is this something they can listen to?

When this wonderful show started, all the officials present wanted to slip away immediately.

Except Fu Jingrong.

Zhao Qingwan raised her voice and shrilly asked, "What? Sister An and the Third Prince..."

"Wan'er, be careful with your words." Su Qishun pretended to stop Zhao Qingwan from saying anything.

"Yes."

Zhao Qingwan seemed to have just realized that she had said something wrong, and she trembled and closed her mouth.

As for Xiao Dezi, when he had already said the words "break up the couple", he ran straight into the guard's drawn knife and blood splattered on the spot.

The moment another eunuch was caught by the guards, he pulled out the other guard's knife and slashed his throat.

The warm blood splashed onto the imperial seat of Emperor Mingqing, and the bright yellow tablecloth with dragon pattern woven flowers was immediately stained with a few bright red blood flowers.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Emperor Ming Qing watched the farce in front of him coldly.

His expression no longer had the warm and cheerful look it had just had.

He raised his hand and called the guard leader Mo Qiu, "Send someone to the palace garden to capture the Third Prince and bring him back to me."

"Yes."

This looked like a secret meeting between a man and a woman, but Emperor Ming Qing lifted it up high and then put it down so lightly.

Some people present could no longer sit still.

"It's really a coincidence that Miss Su left the table when the marriage was granted, and she also happened to leave the table with the Third Prince, so..."

"Don't talk too much."

Everything that happened at the banquet could not escape the eyes of Emperor Mingqing.

As more and more officials' families came to talk, Fu Jingrong's face became more and more ugly.

He instinctively wanted to get up, but King Dingbei held him down and gently shook his head at him, telling him not to be impulsive.

"Jingrong, is there something wrong with you?"

Emperor Mingqing asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"Your Majesty, Jing Rong hopes that Your Majesty will take back..."

Before Fu Jingrong could finish his words, a cold light flashed.

A young palace maid who was serving snacks to Emperor Ming Qing pulled out a dagger from under the tray.

"You dog emperor, go to hell."

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Empress Fu stood in front of Emperor Mingqing without hesitation. Seeing this, Fu Huai immediately threw the silver cup in his hand and barely saved the lives of Emperor Mingqing and Empress Fu.

Everything happened in a flash.

Soon, dozens of assassins dressed in eunuchs' and palace maids' costumes and masked assassins in black came from all directions.

Empress Fu was closest to Emperor Mingqing and wanted to rescue him.

However, those assassins seemed to be targeting Emperor Mingqing only. Whenever Empress Fu flew in front of Emperor Mingqing, the dagger would turn without hesitation and stab directly at Emperor Mingqing.

Emperor Ming Qing dodged left and right, but failed in the end and a big cut was made on his arm.

At this time, Emperor Ming Qing suddenly realized that those assassins were not the ones he had arranged in advance.

The officials' families were in a mess during the banquet.

Some royal guards were also dispatched to look for the third prince.

Understaffed.

Emperor Ming Qing covered his arm with a wound that was still bleeding, and shouted, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor."

Fu Huai took the lead, and after killing several assassins with his sword, he finally reached Emperor Ming Qing safely and saved his life.

Fu Jingrong took advantage of the chaos to leave the banquet.

The banquet was still in chaos.

After Su Sui'an left the table.

A maid accidentally bumped into her while holding hot soup.

Su Sui'an was caught off guard and was knocked back a few steps.

Even so, the soup still splashed all over her.

The palace maids' eyes flashed and they stepped back one after another.

"I'm sorry, slave, I didn't mean it."

Before Su Sui'an could say anything, he felt something tight behind him.

"My beauty, please let me catch you."

This is Murong Qian's voice.

Su Sui'an's heart skipped a beat.

The pain in my body became more and more obvious.

Her whole face was as pale as paper.

"Third Prince, what are you doing here?"

At this time, Murong Qian's face was obviously flushed, and even his movements were no longer restricted by himself.

"Of course I came to find you." As he said this, he undressed himself without caring that he was still in the corridor.

Su Sui'an took advantage of Murong Qian's unpreparedness and struck him on the back of the neck with a backhand knife.

Murong Qian immediately stopped what he was doing, covered the back of his neck, and stared at Su Sui'an with red eyes.

"Ah, you bitch, you dare to hit me."

The knife hand couldn't even knock Murong Qian unconscious!

Su Sui'an began to see double images in front of his eyes.

Murong Qian, who was hit by the knife, was obviously more excited after the pain and reached out to grab Su Sui'an's clothes.

"Very good. With such great strength, I think he can endure a lot of hardships."

Su Sui'an used all his strength to dodge to the side.

Barely escaped Murong Qian's clutches.

Her feet slipped and she unexpectedly ran into a broad embrace.

"How dare you touch her!!"

The man spoke each word with great emphasis, as if squeezing it out from between his teeth.

Murong Qian seemed very surprised to see the person coming, "Gu Xiuyan, you were ordered by the emperor to reflect on your mistakes in Duke Gu's mansion, and you dared to come to the palace?"

Gu Xiuyan ignored Murong Qian and carefully checked Su Sui'an's injuries.

Ignoring Su Sui'an's resistance, she tried to push his hand away.

"An'er, how are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After confirming that Su Sui'an was not injured, he turned his attention back to Murong Qian.

"Third Prince, it's not too late for you to turn back before you make a big mistake. Don't be sold out and then foolishly help others count silver."

As Gu Xiuyan spoke, he tightened his grip on Su Sui'an's waist.

"Your Highness is pleased." Murong Qian looked at Gu Xiuyan's arm around Su Sui'an's waist with a sinister smile.

As if she had discovered some big secret, when she looked at Gu Xiuyan again, her sinister smile was mixed with some sarcasm, "I was just curious about why you suddenly sneaked into the palace. Now it seems that you are really a scumbag."

He ignored me when they were engaged, and now that the engagement has been cancelled, he comes to ruin my plans.

"Your Highness, don't worry about my affairs."

After saying that, Gu Xiuyan picked up Su Sui'an and was about to leave.

Murong Qian took advantage of his drunkenness to commit crimes, and now that his target has been taken away, how can he be willing to accept this?

With two clapped hands, the two nimble guards appeared out of thin air, swiftly flew out from the shadows of the corridor and blocked Gu Xiuyan's way.

"You are a criminal, but you don't want to take the right path, but come here to seek death. Don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards swung their swords and slashed at Gu Xiuyan.

The seemingly messy knife skills are full of murderous intent, and every blow is deadly.

This is clearly not the martial arts of a normal palace guard.

"You actually placed your own secret guards in the ranks of the Imperial Guards?"

Gu Xiuyan had a hard time handling the situation while holding Su Sui'an, and Su Sui'an was also extremely restless when he was holding him. Several times, he was almost hit by Murong Qian's secret guards.

As a last resort, Gu Xiuyan could only let Su Sui'an go.

He fought with all his might against the secret guards who were highly skilled in martial arts.

In order to prevent Murong Qian from having the opportunity to attack Su Sui'an, Gu Xiuyan even dragged Murong Qian into the fight at the cost of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own.
