You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Eunuch Liu, we have been ordered to track down the assassin. Have you seen any suspicious people breaking into Renshou Palace?"

"Commander Zhou, this is Renshou Palace, the Emperor and Empress have already gone to bed.

I have been guarding here all the time. There are guards inside and outside the Renshou Palace. Not even a fly can fly in. Do you think an assassin can break in casually?"

"In that case, let's search somewhere else. I hope you won't get angry. Goodbye!"

At this moment, the voices of Zhou Heng and Eunuch Liu suddenly came from outside the door, and they sounded very nervous.

Wanyan Hongze subconsciously became alert and prepared to shoot the poison dart.

Du Qingwan was quick to step forward and stop him. She shook her head slightly and said in a low voice:

"It's dangerous here, you leave first. I'll handle it."

"But……"

Wanyan Hongze felt a little reluctant and looked at her with heartache, his expression began to become a little nervous.

But Du Qingwan didn't let him finish his words and quickly stopped him:

"Hush! Don't forget what you promised me. Go!"

So, Wanyan Hongze didn't hesitate any longer. He jumped onto the beam, carefully opened a small side window, and disappeared into the night with a whoosh.

[Oh my god! So this idiot can come in and out freely from here every time? No wonder I never noticed it!]

It was not until that moment that Du Qingwan finally understood why Wanyan Hongze could always come and go freely, and she could not help but smile bitterly.

"This dog emperor is so unfortunate! It's a rare opportunity for me to sleep with him in person, but it was ruined like this. He deserves it!"

"You speak as if everyone wants to serve you. Even if Wanyan Hongze doesn't come, I can still stab you to death with a silver needle! Humph!"

After Wanyan Hongze left, Du Qingwan kicked Zhu Yunhao, who was as dead as a pig, with a smug look on her face.

In her opinion, this was how Zhu Yunhao deserved to end up.

Of course, it would be a relief if I could cut it into pieces.

"No, I have to find a way to fool him, otherwise he will be exposed when he wakes up tomorrow morning."

Thinking that Zhu Yunhao was the king of a country, if he inexplicably fainted in his room until dawn, the truth would definitely be revealed. Du Qingwan immediately became extremely anxious.

She held her chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.

"Got it! And it's all thanks to my cleverness!"

Suddenly, Du Qingwan had an idea and found a foolproof plan.

She struggled to get Zhu Yunhao onto the couch, then quickly took out a silver needle and stabbed it into his acupuncture point.

"vomit---"

The next second, Zhu Yunhao suddenly opened his eyes, followed by a violent vomiting, just like a epileptic seizure.

Seeing this, Du Qingwan hurriedly pretended to be frightened, opened the door, and screamed loudly.

"Ah~"

"Help! Someone help! There's an assassin! Ah~"

Eunuch Liu and Zhao'er were taking a nap outside the door, but the other maids and guards in the courtyard were energetic and no one dared to doze off.

Hearing Du Qingwan's screams, Eunuch Liu and Zhao'er were instantly awakened, both looking confused and at a loss.

At this time, everyone rushed to the three of them and looked at Du Qingwan in confusion.

"Empress, what's wrong with you? Where are the assassins?"

Seeing Du Qingwan pretending to be frightened and covering her face with tears, Zhao'er quickly pulled her over and asked with concern.

Du Qingwan pretended to be extremely scared, pointed timidly towards the house, and said with a slight cry in her voice:

"There is an assassin in the house. The emperor... the emperor is..."

In order to make the situation sound more serious, Du Qingwan deliberately did not continue speaking, but instead threw herself into Zhao'er's arms and cried bitterly.

"There's an assassin? Someone, come! Go in and protect the emperor!"

Hearing this, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but tense up. He pointed with his whisk and sternly ordered all the imperial guards to enter the palace to protect the emperor.

In just a few seconds, more than a dozen royal guards rushed into the house, all of them looking nervous or even pale.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

After a while, Eunuch Liu appeared at the door, carefully supporting the haggard Zhu Yunhao.

He looked nervous, as if his head was about to fall off.

Zhu Yunhao waved his hands and said weakly, "It's okay."

"That……"

Hearing Zhu Yunhao say that he was fine, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he began to wonder whether Zhu Yunhao should continue to stay in Renshou Palace.

"Put the driver back to the palace."

Thinking of his own behavior just now, Zhu Yunhao looked tiredly at the terrified Du Qingwan, and his voice sounded extremely regretful.

This is Du Qingwan’s real purpose, so she will not try to keep him.

But in order not to arouse Zhu Yunhao's suspicion, Du Qingwan still pretended to be wronged and said:

"But Your Majesty, I haven't served you well yet..."

Zhu Yunhao was already frightened out of his wits just now, how could he have the mind to think about anything else at this moment?

He waved his hands feebly: "Forget it, let's do it another day."

After saying this, without waiting for Du Qingwan to speak, Zhu Yunhao staggered out of Renshou Palace.

"Miss, are you okay just now?"

After Zhu Yunhao's people left, Zhao'er dismissed the servants in Renshou Palace, her face full of worry.

Du Qingwan glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, then she whispered softly into Zhao'er's ear:

"I'm fine. I did that on purpose."

After saying that, Du Qingwan smiled awkwardly and nodded slightly.

When Zhao'er heard this, he was shocked for a moment, his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth subconsciously formed an O shape.

"Miss, you? ... You won't be discovered, right?"

Zhao'er was still a little worried and acted very cautiously.

He quickly glanced around several times and saw that there was no one around. His heart finally settled down.

Du Qingwan giggled and made a "hush" gesture:

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be foolproof."

After speaking with full confidence, Du Qingwan walked into the house, her face filled with rare pride.

"That's good. Miss, don't take this risk next time.

I heard that the emperor has a bad temper and is very unstable. If he starts investigating, we will be in trouble."

Seeing this, Zhao'er hurriedly followed him into the room, closing the door as he spoke.

Luoxi Palace

"How is Princess Yunluo? How did she get poisoned? Has the assassin from last night not been caught yet?"

As soon as Zhu Yunhao stepped into Luoxi Palace, he saw Yunluo still in a semi-conscious state, and his brows were filled with heartache.

Turning around, he couldn't wait to find out who the assassin was.

Too many things have happened in the palace recently, and there are often assassins appearing at night. Zhu Yunhao has been anxious and worried.

However, Zhou Heng failed to capture the assassin, and he managed to escape every time.

Many times, Zhu Yunhao seriously doubted ---

Did Zhou Heng do it on purpose?

"Your Majesty, I was unable to capture him and the assassin still escaped."

Every time, Zhou Heng only said this sentence.

Of course, he felt as heavy as if he had ten heads on his shoulders.

It's so stressful!

Logically speaking, the palace was heavily guarded, and not even a fly could get in, let alone a living person.

Zhou Heng didn't know how the assassin could come and go freely.
