Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

"My Lord, you have done a great deed this time. I hope you will take good care of me in front of the Emperor in the future!"

The ministers sat together and couldn't help but greet each other.

The dancers in gorgeous clothes were dancing in the middle, waving their sleeves. As the cups were exchanged, the graceful figures were dancing in the wind like willow branches.

Sitting next to the emperor was the queen, a gentle and dignified woman.

Just like Shen Ruoyan before, she was born into a noble family and had learned the rules very well, but she had never learned how to please a man.

Below her was the favored imperial concubine.

Those eyes were like hooks, and they would occasionally look towards the emperor, and even in such occasions, he had no scruples at all.

The Queen Mother's smile froze on her face, and her face, which always had a compassionate expression, now took on an eerie silence.

Her eyes were like the abyss as she stared at the imperial concubine, hoping that she could restrain herself.

Unfortunately, the imperial concubine, relying on the emperor’s favor, kept flirting with the emperor and did not take the warning seriously at all.

Shen Ruoyan slowly raised the cup, put it to her lips and took a sip, but in fact, it didn't even touch the rim of the cup.

Having already lost her life once, she didn't want to have anything to do with the palace again.

"There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!"

"Someone, protect the emperor!"

Shen Ruoyan had just put down the cup when the situation in front of him suddenly became chaotic.

In a trance, she only had time to see the leading dancer pull out a soft sword from her sleeve and rush towards the emperor who was drinking!

The guards drew their swords and rushed out one after another. The imperial concubine was closest to them and screamed in fear!

The queen just stood there in a daze, not reacting at all!

"Emperor Dog, take your life!"

brush!brush!brush!

A few more dancers drew their swords, and everyone was in chaos, running everywhere to escape!

The emperor hid behind the eunuch, so frightened that he didn't know where to go. When he got down from the chair, he almost tripped over himself and fell flat on his face!

He drank too much!

I can't even walk steadily!

Shen Ruoyan was pushed and squeezed to run to the side. In panic, she saw Zhuang Mi who was also being protected and running towards this side.

Because it was too chaotic, the guards and the assassins fought each other, blood splattered everywhere, and the noble ladies were scared and screamed. They didn't care about the occasion and only wanted to save their lives!

Zhuang Mi was originally protected by someone, but during the fight, the assassin was pushed to her side. The maid blocked her way and let her go. The eunuchs fell and were injured, and there was no way to take care of them.

The emperor called all the men over to protect him!

At the critical moment of life and death, he actually forgot that his mother and wife were still here!

Shen Ruoyan just felt it was ridiculous. Was she out of her mind at the time?

How could you choose such a thing to be the emperor?

He deserved his death!

Suddenly, a lone assassin saw Zhuang Mi calling out in a loud voice. He rushed over with a sword in hand, ruthless and without saying a word!

"Protect the Queen Mother!"

"Someone come quickly, protect the Queen Mother!"

The young eunuch shouted until his throat was hoarse, but the place was too far away and he couldn't catch up at all.

The queen mother was surrounded by weak and incapable ladies. When they saw the assassin coming, some were so scared that they burst into tears, some collapsed and ran away, and some were even more timid and fainted directly...

"Queen, be careful!"

Shen Ruoyan suddenly lunged forward, pressing her entire body onto Zhuang Mi—

She could almost hear the sound of Zhuang Mi's old bones cracking. That was the good thing about being young. Not only was one more agile, but one also didn't have to worry about breaking bones with just a little pressure!

Zhuang Mi was carrying the weight of two people and was speechless.

But Shen Ruoyan acted as if he was willing to sacrifice himself for justice:

"You bold assassin, if you want to harm the Queen Mother, you must kill me first!"

Although she was pressing down on Zhuang Mi, she kept her arms open, like a hen protecting her chicks, and blocked Zhuang Mi behind her.

This was in stark contrast to the noble ladies around her who were keeping their distance.

"This Shen Ruoyan, is she going to die?!"

Prince Shun's wife hid behind and when she saw Shen Ruoyan's actions, she was almost scared crazy by her!

Forget about the assassins, but even the royal family members will be assassinated sometimes.

But what is Shen Ruoyan doing?

You want to curry favor with the Queen Mother. Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

That's an assassin! Not your guard!

Those lying on the ground are all bloody corpses. People are really dead!

The wife of Prince Shun stepped back in shock. She didn't care about the emperor or the empress dowager, neither was more important than her own life.

These assassins are very skilled in martial arts. The guards have been fighting for so long but still haven't subdued them. She might as well run away first...

Lu Jing was also mixed in the crowd. He couldn't carry anything with his shoulders or kick with his feet. He only got military merit by luck. How could he dare to get close to them at this time?

Don’t you see that some of the generals are just pretending?

While shouting about protecting the emperor, he ran madly towards the opposite side of the assassin!

In fact, Lu Jing could understand that swords were not allowed at the palace banquet. Even if these military officers were generals, they could not defeat four hands with bare fists. Who really wanted to risk his life?

Lu Jing bent over and ran outside.

Anyway, the situation is chaotic now and the emperor won’t notice him.

Although these assassins are highly skilled in martial arts, they are few in number. The guards outside have arrived, and it is only a matter of time before they are captured.

All he had to do was blend in with the crowd and avoid being accidentally injured. He would wait until the assassin was captured, and then stand up to prove that he had not sneaked away.

Lu Jing's plan was very good, but man proposes, God disposes. Just as he was looking for a good place to hide, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind!

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

A shrill cry pierced the sky, and when Lu Jing turned around, he saw the emperor flying towards him like a sharp arrow!

Yes, fly over here!

He subconsciously reached out to catch it, and was knocked to the ground. The assassin followed closely. Lu Jing's legs were pinned down by the emperor. He turned over and tried to get up, but suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

He was stabbed!

"My Lord! My Lord, you even risked your life to protect the Emperor! I am proud of you!"

Shen Ruoyan ran over at some point. The assassin had been subdued. She hugged Lu Jing, whose chest was still bleeding, and cried loudly:

"My Lord, you must hold on! The Marquis' Mansion cannot live without you!"

The situation was too critical just now. Everyone only saw Chang Ning Hou catch the emperor, and then when the assassin came with a sword, he supported himself and turned over, blocking the emperor.

What loyalty this is!

Even the emperor was moved by Lu Jing's bravery. "Lord Lu is loyal and a role model for all officials. Imperial physician! Call the imperial physician to me! We must save Lord Lu's life!"

Shen Ruoyan followed behind, wiping away tears from time to time, which made the scene even more moving.

The wife of Marquis Changning had just sacrificed herself to protect the Queen Mother. Fortunately, the guards who arrived had killed the assassin before he could make his move, otherwise she would have been in imminent danger.

The loyalty of this couple is amazing!
