System: [Don't get close! This powder won't go away for days after you get it on. Ah Ruan, I've discovered that every time they assassinate the emperor, the assassins like to use you as a medium. Before, they wanted to burn you into a ball of fire, and now they want to use you as bait to attract poisonous insects.]

Yuanruan: [I am also helpless. ]

The emperor and the prince remained calm.

The Queen and the others' pupils trembled again: !!!

what? !

This was not the first time Jiuer encountered such a dangerous thing.

……

At this time, the eunuch in black placed his hand on the box and smiled at Yuan Ruan, "Ninth Princess, the Queen Mother ordered me to do this for you..."

He was just about to make a small move when he suddenly felt his hand lighten.

The black-clad eunuch looked up and saw the red-locked box falling into the Seventh Princess's hands. His heart tightened, and he wanted to use some tricks to grab the box, or if that didn't work, he could just take the opportunity to knock it over. But Qi Yue was much more agile than him, and after two steps back, the black-clad eunuch couldn't get close to the box at all.

There was no other way, the black-robed eunuch could only try again: "Seventh Princess, the Queen Mother specifically ordered me to open it for the Ninth Princess..."

Qi Yue looked down at Yuan Ruan: "Do you want to see it?"

Yuan Ruan shook his head frantically: "No, I don't want to watch it, I want to eat."

The eunuch in black paused. It was the first time he met a princess who directly rejected the Queen Mother's kindness. He almost didn't know what to say.

Qi Yue smiled in her heart, she was indeed a clever little Bodhisattva, this was a good reason.

So Qi Yue calmly put the box in her arms, without even looking at the eunuch in black, and directly carried Yuan Ruan back to the buffet and sat down: "She doesn't want to see it, let's eat first."

Eunuch in black: ...

He hasn't been back to the palace for only a year. How did the style of the Xia Kingdom princess become so strong? !

System: [Hahaha, Miss Qiyue is really domineering, yyds! ]

Yuanruan: [Yes. I am really lucky. Last time I had the male mother standing by me, and this time I have the seventh sister protecting me. Also, I am lucky that I don’t have to go through the 12-hour plot killing this time.]

System: [How could there not be? Any assassination attempt involving your brother will definitely be targeted by the Heavenly Dao, or in other words, will be killed by the plot.]

The emperor and the prince, knowing the killing power of the plot, changed their expressions suddenly.

When the plot comes, it doesn't matter whether there are other people around him, they will all be a disaster together.

The emperor did not want to implicate his concubines and offspring, so he stood up abruptly and said, "I still have government affairs to attend to, first..."

Yuan Ruan: [This Heaven is really inhumane! Why can't it focus on bad people, such as this evil queen mother. ]

The system suddenly murmured: [Hiss. Ah Ruan, now that you said that, I realized that your brother was standing very close to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother might be accidentally injured.]

It was this one sentence that kept the emperor stuck in place for a few seconds.

At this time, a group of palace maids carrying trays came forward, ready to replace the plates and dishes for the buffet.

At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from near the wall.

Everyone looked and saw that a palace maid who was serving soup accidentally stepped on the hem of her dress and fell to the ground. The bowl of boiling hot soup hit the palace guard next to him. The palace guard was scalded and threw his hands left and right with a grimace. The moment he turned around, the long lamp hook next to him caught the long sword at his waist.

"Swish" the long sword was hooked out of the sheath.

With the inertia of pulling, the long sword flew high back out of the sheath and then was thrown out violently.

Accompanied by a sharp white light, the tip rushed straight towards the emperor's waist.

The system made a sharp explosion: [Oh my god! This position is aimed at the kidneys! If this hits, Ah Ruan, you will definitely not have any nephews or nieces in the future. ]

The prince, who had just rushed forward to deflect the long sword, staggered: What is the point of this system?

The emperor twisted his waist subconsciously.

At the same time, Qi Yue used his legs to lift up the stool beside his feet, then kicked it sideways, and the stool flew out and hit the long knife directly.

This force directly bounced the long sword away, and the flying long sword "swooshed" through the empress dowager's hair, and then heavily stabbed into a tree trunk not far away.

The Queen Mother failed to dodge in time, and half of her hair fell down, making her look like a mad woman.

The concubines and maids nearby, who were dumbfounded, covered their mouths belatedly, stood up worriedly, and said:

"Your Majesty, are you okay?! Is there an assassin here?!"

"Queen, are you injured?"

"Oh my god, why is there a long knife flying towards me? Will there be any other danger?"

……

While the palace maids and concubines were discussing in panic, the eunuch in black didn't care about continuing to frame Yuan Ruan, he ran towards the Queen Mother. When he passed by a low stool, he wanted to vent his anger on the Queen Mother, so he kicked it hard.

The eunuch in black was skilled in martial arts, and he originally wanted to smash the stool directly, but the stool did not break. Instead, it followed the force and rushed towards the emperor and Yuan Ruan in a strange curve.

"Oh! My God!"

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"Oh my God!"

……

Fortunately, the emperor had been on high alert and easily dodged the attack while holding Yuan Ruan.

At the same time, Rongpin suddenly rushed out, then with a backhand left fist, accompanied by a "bang!", the flying stool was instantly smashed into pieces.

The largest piece of debris brushed against the Queen Mother's cheek and left a bleeding mark.

Queen Mother:…

Everyone:...

Rongpin noticed the subtle gazes of the people around her. She suddenly sat on the ground tenderly, covering her right hand and sobbing: "My concubine, my concubine is in so much pain."

Everyone looked at the debris on the ground, which was barely even the length of a finger. The corners of their mouths twitched, and at the same time, they were complaining wildly in their hearts, "Rongpin, is there a possibility that you just smashed the fragments with your left hand?"

"Master, Queen Mother, are you okay?"

The eunuch in black forgot to address her in such a hurry that he rolled and crawled towards the Queen Mother, took out his handkerchief and gently touched her, while shouting to the people around him, "Come here, call the imperial physician! Hurry up and call the imperial physician over!"

Only then did everyone notice that a quarter of the Queen Mother's cheek was covered in blood.

The concubines also panicked and stood up hurriedly:

"Call the doctor quickly."

"My Queen Mother, are you okay?"

"Hurry, hurry, I brought some hemostatic ointment. I'll bring it over right away."

……

System: [The Heavenly Dao must be pissed off. He cheated in various ways. But the Emperor was as fierce as a tiger and suffered no damage at all. Oh no, this Queen Mother is quite unlucky. Ha, it all fell on his head.]

Yuanruan: [Because he is a scumbag, it's karma. ]

The Queen and Concubine Rong wondered why the Queen Mother was a scumbag?

The queen pondered deeply, wondering if the death of the previous heirs in the palace was related to the queen dowager.

Rongpin was also wondering, could it be that the Queen Mother had killed someone?

System: [Aruan is right. A man pretending to be a woman and staying in the harem is a hooligan.]

The Queen, Concubine Rong and Qi Yue:!!!

Qi Yue clenched his fists instantly.

The queen almost couldn't breathe, and if the emperor hadn't helped her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Concubine Rong crushed the chopsticks in her hand to pieces. She didn't even notice the horrified and unbelieving looks of the concubines beside her. They were staring straight at the Queen Mother.

However, the Queen Mother did not notice the subtle looks in some people's eyes.

He was now in a disheveled state, and instead of trying to hurt the emperor, he ended up bringing disaster upon himself. He was so angry that he was about to explode.

The Queen Mother perfunctorily told everyone to continue with the buffet and left first.

Logically, the Queen, Concubine Rong and others should accompany her.

But knowing the secret of the male empress dowager, for the sake of the dignity of the Great Xia Harem, the Queen not only did not move herself, but also found an excuse to let the concubines continue with the buffet and not let them go to the Cining Palace now.

The banquet continues.

The queen found an opportunity, came to the emperor's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

The emperor patted the queen's hand and said, "Don't be impatient."

The queen's eyes widened and she whispered, "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the harem, how can I..."

The emperor lowered his voice and said, "Before I came, I had already ordered people to summon the relatives of the concubines. Later, they will find a winter hunt or some other excuse to bring the concubines back home to visit their relatives for a while. You should go with them."

The Queen understood that the Emperor was clearing out the women in the palace in preparation for eliminating the Queen Mother's power.

Yuan Ruan: [Yes. He is a gangster leader. By the way, Tong'er, it is convenient for you to watch the melons while my brother's concubines are here. Look at them in order and see if any of these concubines have given birth to princes or princesses with the Queen Mother.]

Emperor and Empress: !!!

The people next door were thinking about how to trick the concubines and their relatives back home when they suddenly tilted their bodies: !!!

It's bad. Whoever gets hit will die.
