This villain has become a ghost

Murong Jin said calmly, "That's right."

This would be a beneficial and harmless thing for Daying, and the emperor had no reason to refuse.

Shen Yue asked cautiously, "Your Highness, the marriage you are talking about is not about you, is it?"

Yue Liuyun was very impressed.

Shen Yue is indeed a straight man. Even if he had such doubts, he shouldn't have asked them like that.

Regardless of whether she is an enemy or not, girls are very delicate in their minds. At first glance, these words sound quite disgusting. Why not ask, "Which princess is coming to marry?"

No wonder this guy is still single, there must be a reason.

"It's me," Murong Jin narrowed her eyes, smiled, and said, "Could it be that this lord thinks I'm not worthy of coming to Daying for marriage?"

Shen Yue: "..."

This was a huge misunderstanding. Shen Yue carefully considered his words and was about to explain.

Nangong Mingzhu straightened his expression, and his thin lips, which were 36 degrees Celsius, opened and closed mercilessly and coldly, and said, "...Yes."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Murong Jin: “…”

Shen Yue: "..."

Others present: "..."

One envoy could no longer sit still. He stood up angrily, walked over to Murong Jin, and said, "You are the emperor of Daying. Even if we, Chiyu, have been defeated this time, you shouldn't humiliate Her Royal Highness like this!"

Nangong Mingzhu sneered and looked at him casually, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Shen Yue's eyebrows were twitching. As a mature tutor, he felt that he needed to say something to ease the atmosphere.

Who would have thought that the next second, the envoy who spoke up for the princess suddenly pulled out a cold dagger from his sleeve, and in a flash, he stabbed Murong Jin, cutting straight into her throat!

Murong Jin: “?”

What about the promise that “You shouldn’t humiliate Her Royal Highness the Princess like this”?

So you're just going to come and take my life yourself?

Murong Jin felt a chill on his neck and thought he was going to die, so he opened his eyes wide.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly pulled her from behind, drew his sword, and stabbed the envoy in the throat, protecting her behind him.

It was Feng Ning.

Murong Jin raised his hand tremblingly and touched his neck, his white fingertips covered in blood.

It was just a cut, but her back was already covered in cold sweat and she felt a little scared.

She closed her eyes and said to Feng Ning, "Thank you."

Then, endless anger surged in her heart. Who wanted to kill her?!

She reacted quickly and turned her gaze to Zhang Jing, only to find that Mu Huai beside him had disappeared.

All the ministers were panicked by this situation and stood up in shock.

"How is this going?"

"Why would an envoy assassinate his own princess?"

"Isn't that His Majesty's personal guard? Why did he suddenly appear?"

Just when everyone hadn't fully reacted, a group of men in black suddenly jumped down from the beams, their swords and knives stained with blood, killing people without mercy.

"There's an assassin, protect His Majesty!"

Swords flashed with dazzling cold light in the dim hall. The guards at the door immediately rushed in. Although they were well-trained, they still seemed a little flustered by such a sudden attack.

The entire banquet suddenly fell into chaos, and many ministers took advantage of the chaos to run out of the door.

The guards were quickly killed by the men in black.

However, before the man in black could react, Nangong Mingzhu, who was sitting on the high hall, had already disappeared.

Even Qiu Shuangwan, Luo Tong, Shen Yue, Feng Ning, Murong Jin and others have disappeared.

After the chaos, the originally lively banquet was in a mess, with the bodies of guards scattered all over the place. All the civil and military officials in the court were missing, leaving only Wei Yan, with an expressionless face.

The men in black looked at each other, waiting for his next instruction.

It doesn't matter whether the civil and military officials are killed or not. Zhang Jing was able to escape because they had made arrangements in advance, but the emperor and others were able to disappear... which means there is a secret passage.

Wei Yanzhi looked calm, as if everything was under control, and said, "Find the secret passage."

"Yes!"

-

The clouds in the sky grew thicker, dimming the light that filtered through, and the entire palace was shrouded in a faint blue-gray hue. The cold wind grew even more biting, causing the colorful flags in the palace to flutter.

Nangong Mingzhu walked out of the secret passage calmly. Outside was Chu Shiqing, who was guarding the place with a large group of people.

Surrounded by steep, rugged rocks and dense forests, the exit is hidden next to a bush.

The late emperor's temporary palace on Mount Jing was built under the supervision of Nangong Mingzhu, then a capable prince. His insight from that time has finally come in handy.

Chu Shiqing saluted and said, "Your Majesty, General Fuguo was seriously injured last night and is currently recuperating in the Marquis's residence. To prevent any accidents, General Song is leading his troops to guard the Marquis's residence."

Nangong Mingzhu nodded slightly.

Last night, Song Zhiyi and Nangong Wanqing worked together to kill all the spies lurking in Dongdu, but they paid a heavy price for it. Both of them were seriously injured and would not be able to fight in the short term.

Dongdu is in chaos now. With Song Haotian guarding them, nothing should happen.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and Nangong Mingzhu couldn't help coughing again. He endured the severe pain from his internal organs and made promises to Chu Shiqing.

"If I unfortunately die this time, I will ask King Xuan for the money I promised you."

Yue Liuyun became more and more worried as she saw his condition getting worse and worse, but she could do nothing now. This unprecedented feeling of powerlessness made her anxiety increase instead of decrease.

Chu Shiqing originally had no good impression of the emperor in front of him, but since the last autumn banquet, he felt that Nangong Mingzhu was much more reliable than the old emperor, and he didn't want him to die at the moment.

He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better take care of your health. What if His Royal Highness Prince Xuan doesn't acknowledge it?"

Nangong Mingzhu sneered: "How is that possible?"

Nangong Qianshang loves to be a good guy and an enemy the most.

The stairs at the entrance of the secret passage were dark and cold, with the faint candlelight emitting a dim light.

Suddenly, several killers appeared.

When they stuck their heads out, they met Chu Shiqing's smiling face.

Chu Shiqing: "Hello."

Killer: "..."

-

the other side.

Qiu Shuangwan and Luo Tong escaped from the secret passage with several concubines who attended the banquet and several ministers headed by Qiu Lin, exhausted and out of breath.

Xia Ruozhi brought a group of soldiers and horses to guard the secret passage door.

Qiu Lin didn't expect that he would have to go through such a thing at his age. His forehead was wet with cold sweat for a moment. It was all thanks to Luo Tong who supported him and prevented him from falling.

Xia Ruozhi asked Qiu Shuangwan with concern: "My friend, are you okay?"

Qiu Shuangwan quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Let's find a safe place to hide."

A minister asked, "Can't we go back to the palace?"

Xia Ruozhi shook his head and said, "The Imperial Guards are Wei Yanzhi's power, and the Imperial Guards have been bribed by Zhang Jing. They cannot be trusted. Your Majesty has entrusted me with the task of protecting you. Others will take care of the rest."

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice was heard, followed by the neighing of a large number of military horses galloping.

"But General, do you think... you can really protect them?"

The person in the lead was Zhang Jing.

Qiu Shuangwan was startled when she saw Zhang Jing suddenly appear here.

Damn, this old guy came pretty fast.

I can only say that the guy named Mu Huai does have some skills.
