When the envoys and ministers saw the emperor leave, they also dispersed.

Xie Jin came in front of Feng Qingluan:

"what happened?"

Feng Qingluan told Xie Jin about her experience in Xiangming Pavilion and her discovery of abnormalities in the incense and tea:

"Xiangpin was worried about my medical skills, so she used rare medicine in small quantities. She was betting on whether I could recognize it. She was good at using medicine, but her technique was not good enough."

Xie Jin said: "There are a lot of disturbances at the palace banquet tonight. I will take you back in the evening."

Feng Qingluan nodded: "Yes."

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Emperor Xia Ming was so angry that he threw everything on the table to the ground, and was extremely furious.

"Waste! All of you are waste!"

Xie Jin was difficult to deal with. He couldn't even handle a tiny Feng Qingluan. He was really pissed off after suffering a series of defeats.

"Dragon Shadow Guard, come in!"

The leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard, Xuankong, dressed in black, came in from outside.

Emperor Xia Ming said, "Go and invite the Sixth Prince of Anyi to the Yangxin Palace. I have something to discuss with him."

Xuankong took the order and left.

There was a dangerous gleam in Emperor Xia Ming's eyes.

In the hall, Xiao Yu wanted to exchange the city for Feng Qingluan's marriage, but Xie Jin rejected his proposal on the spot. He had always kept it in mind.

If someone wants to snatch Feng Qingluan from Xie Jin, he might as well give it a push!

The more Xie Jin cares about Feng Qingluan, the more he wants to get rid of her!

Emperor Xia Ming closed his eyes and thought about his next strategy.

Xiao Yu was ridiculed by Xie Jin in the palace, and was worried that he had no place to vent his anger. When he saw Emperor Xia Ming's Dragon Shadow Guard coming to invite him in a low-key manner, the corners of his lips curled up, it seemed that the emperor also wanted to deal with Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan.

He swept away his gloom and anger and happily went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Unpleasant things happened one after another, and Emperor Xia Ming was angry and left, and other envoys and ministers also left the palace one after another.

Xie Jin first sent Liao Luoling back to the Duke's Mansion, and then sent Feng Qingluan back to the Marquis' Mansion.

On the way, Feng Qingluan was thinking about a question:

"I met Concubine Xiang for the first time tonight. Did she frame me in order to win the favor of Emperor Xia Ming?"

She always felt that Concubine Xiang's reasons for harming her were very sudden.

Xie Jin said in a cold voice: "He knows."

Feng Qingluan was slightly surprised: "Do you think the emperor knows? He is the emperor, how can he use the same tricks as the women in the harem, and at a state banquet? He is too impatient."

"He has targeted you and wants to destroy you." Xie Jin said.

Feng Qingluan stopped talking.

She also realized that this was the second time Emperor Xia Ming had attacked her.

The first time he wanted to kill her, this time he wanted to destroy her reputation.

The other party is the emperor of the time, and it would be easy for him to be crushed to death.

Feng Qingluan couldn't help but worry that Emperor Xia Ming might reach out to his grandmother or maternal grandfather's family in order to get rid of her.

Xie Jin saw her deep in thought and said:

“I will send someone to keep an eye on your grandfather, and the old lady will not be in danger because she has secret guards protecting her in the mansion.

As for you, Xie Hong wants to attack you, and Xiao Yu is just a chess piece that he can use."

Xiao Yu wants to get Feng Qingluan, and as long as Xie Hong gives him some help, he will voluntarily join in.

Feng Qingluan had a solemn expression. Being stared at by Xiao Yu was like being stuck with a dog-skin plaster. It was really annoying and difficult to get rid of.

The carriage swayed forward. Xie Jin stared at Feng Qingluan's silent face, with a cruel light flashing in his eyes.

If Xiao Yu really wanted to work for Xie Hong to get Feng Qingluan, he would send him back to Anyi.

Of course, it's a dead body!

East Palace.

Xie Heng was exposed in public for giving a fake pill at a much-anticipated birthday party, and his reputation as a crown prince was completely lost.

He was also confined to his house for three months and lost all his duties. He could not swallow this humiliation, so when he returned home, he called the secret guards:

"Gather people immediately and go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to kill Feng Shuyao!"

He wants Feng Shuyao to die, tonight!

The secret guards acted quickly and secretly went to the Prince of Chu's palace.

At night, Feng Shuyao lay there and couldn't fall asleep.

She didn't know anything about what happened at the palace banquet yet, as no one had told her. She was still fantasizing that she had helped the prince and sent the elixir that His Majesty wanted most as a birthday gift. His Majesty should be very happy and praised the prince in the hall.

She has performed a great service for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder if the Crown Prince will remember her and send someone to see her?

She is living a good life now and does not need to cause trouble for the prince. After helping the prince this time, she does not owe him anything. After the child is born, she will live her own life.

Feng Shuyao was thinking this when she suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from outside the house.

She was startled and cried out:

"Zhi Nan, what happened outside?"

Zhinan was sleeping in the outer room, and when he heard her voice he hurried in:

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Feng Shuyao pointed at the figure swaying outside the window:

"Do you think there's a fight going on in the yard?"

Zhinan also saw the fast-moving figures outside the window. He walked to the window, poked a hole in the window paper with his finger and looked into the yard. He saw two groups of men in black fighting with swords.

Zhinan was startled. A man in black seemed to have discovered her direction and shot an arrow at her.

Zhinan's pupils dilated and he stepped back instinctively.

The man in black didn't know her exact position, and the hidden arrow grazed her left side and penetrated the wall behind her, with the arrow body shaking.

"what!"

Zhinan screamed in fright, then quickly covered his mouth and dared not make any more sound.

Seeing her like this, and seeing the arrow feathers that were covered in blood and shining coldly and were still shaking, Feng Shuyao was also frightened and shrank back onto the bed.

"Zhi Nan, come here quickly, what's going on, is someone here to kill us?"

Zhinan rolled and crawled to the bedside. Her face turned pale with fear, her calves were shaking, and she stammered:

"Miss, it seems... they are here to kill us, Miss, hide quickly."

Feng Shuyao looked around the room. It was such a small place, where could she hide?

Zhinan added, "But I see another group of people in black protecting us and preventing the assassins from getting close. They may be the secret guards of the palace. They may not be able to break in."

Feng Shuyao's heart was beating rapidly and she placed her hand on her belly.

How could a killer come to take her life?

So could it be that Di Manli was afraid that she would become pregnant and make a comeback, and compete with her for the favor of the King of Chu, so she sent people to kill her to silence her?

There were so many opportunities before, why did she choose to do it tonight?

Apart from Di Manli, Feng Shuyao couldn't think of anyone else who would not tolerate her.

The fight outside became more intense, and someone shouted "There's an assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Then countless people holding torches poured into the yard.

Zhinan was about to say that they were saved.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a bang.

A man in black holding a bloody sword rushed in.

Seeing Feng Shuyao hugging the maid in fear on the bed, his brows furrowed and he stabbed towards Feng Shuyao fiercely!
