The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

In the Guicheng Translation Office, Prince Guang was chatting with Yan Ying about opening his mouth when the guard knocked on the door and said that Lu Qi wanted to see him.

The two were startled and looked at each other. Prince Guang said, "Prime Minister, look at this Lu Qi. He came to see me again for no reason. I wonder what's up with him!"

Yan Ying took a sip of tea and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. Ask him to come and see you, and we'll know the answer."

"I don't want to pay attention to him. The last time this guy came to see me, I was deceived by him and almost wrongly blamed Sister Xuan."

"He came to see me again today, it must be something bad, I won't see him!"

Before he could finish his words, he heard someone knocking on the door. "Your Highness, Prime Minister, help me! I am Lu Qi. Please save me! Your Highness, open the door, open the door!"

Immediately, Lu Qi's hurried voice came from outside the door.

Yan Ying glanced at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, look, this..."

Jiang Guang frowned and waved his hand impatiently: "Let him in!"

"Yes," Yan Ying agreed and quickly opened the door.

The two of them took a closer look and saw that Lu Qi was disheveled, with tattered clothes and looked like a lost dog.

When Lu Qi saw the door open, he rushed in. As soon as he entered, he knelt down in front of them with a thud.

He cried out in panic, "Your Highness! Prime Minister, Princess Xuan wants to capture me. Please, Your Highness, save me!"

Jiang Guang was stunned: "Lü Qi, why did Sister Xuan arrest you?"

"I'm not sure what the matter is, but I suspect it must be about treasure."

Prince Guang stood up and said, "What? Treasure! What treasure? Explain it clearly!"

"Your Highness, the story goes like this. That day, Princess Xuan and the Queen were chatting in the bedroom, and she accidentally mentioned a treasure."

"My spy heard the news and told me, and I told Zhang Zui the news."

"Maybe Zhang Zui failed to steal the treasure and was discovered by them. I must have been implicated by Zhang Zui, so Princess Xuan wanted to arrest me."

Lu Qi told the whole story in one breath.

After hearing this, Prince Guang curled his lips and looked at Lu Qi with contempt: "Lü Qi, you are trying to deceive me again!"

"What treasure?! That mouth was clearly killed by poison gas while stealing burial objects from the royal tomb, and died in King Lai's tomb!"

"There's no such thing as treasure! Could it be that you've done something shameful again and made Sister Xuan angry, so she sent someone to arrest you?"

"I won't believe your lies this time. Come! Arrest Lu Qi and bring him to the palace, and hand him over to Sister Xuan for disposal!"

"Yes, yes," several guards agreed, and hurriedly tied up Lu Qi.

"Your Highness, please don't! Please don't give me to Princess Xuan, Your Highness!"

"That bitch Princess Xuan will definitely kill me. Prime Minister, please save me..."

Upon seeing this, Yan Ying bowed and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this."

The prince said angrily, "What's wrong with that?! This Lu Qi always insults Sister Xuan. I've disliked him for a long time! You don't need to say anything more about this matter!"

In the royal study of the palace, Lu Qi was escorted in by several guards.

Zixuan looked at him with cold eyes: "Lü Qi! What else do you have to say now?"

At this time, Lu Qi still looked arrogant.

He stiffened his neck, raised his head, and said angrily, "Princess Xuan! Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say!"

"But you can't kill me! I'm the inner court steward appointed by the King of Qi himself. My life and death should be decided by the King of Qi!"

"Really? Do you think I'm afraid of the King of Qi? I'm going to kill you today!"

"Let's see what the King of Qi can do to me! Come! Drag Lü Qi out of the palace and execute him by the punishment of being torn apart by a chariot!"

"Yes," several guards agreed and dragged Lu Qi away.

Zixuan felt relieved when she saw that Lu Qi was brought to justice. She was just about to return to her bedroom to rest.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion outside, and then a guard hurriedly ran to her.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The commander of the Imperial Guard, Du Teng, escaped because of his superior martial arts skills and was unable to be captured by us!"

"Now, he is running towards the Queen's bedroom. The Grand Marshal has surrounded the Queen's bedroom!"

"No one dares to enter the palace rashly, fearing that the queen might be harmed. Please ask the king to make the decision!"

What! Zixuan was shocked after hearing this: "Quick, hurry to the bedroom!"

After saying that, he ran towards the queen's bedroom like the wind.

As soon as he arrived at the palace door, the Grand Marshal Yi Ke came to greet him hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you are here!"

Zixuan nodded and asked hurriedly, "General, what's going on inside?"

"Your Majesty, the situation inside is a bit bad. Du Teng broke into the palace and kidnapped Her Majesty the Queen."

"We are currently facing off against the Royal Guards. Due to Du Teng's superior martial arts skills, we dare not act rashly for fear of injuring the Queen."

"Now that you're here, hurry up and see how to rescue the queen!"

Zixuan nodded and walked into the hall. When the guards saw her coming in, they all made way for her.

The scene before him instantly made him break out in a cold sweat.

The queen was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her snow-white neck was strangled by Du Teng with one hand.

In his other hand, he held a sword, which he held across her neck.

Then Du Teng shouted, "All of you, step back! Don't go any further! If you go forward, I will kill the queen!"

Seeing this, Zixuan thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly ordered the soldiers not to act rashly.

At this time, Yi Ke whispered behind her, "Your Majesty, would you like me to find some archers to kill Du Teng immediately?"

Zixuan thought about it and immediately rejected his suggestion: "No, the bow and arrow are too slow and the killing power is not strong enough."

"If I can't kill her with one strike, I'm afraid something bad will happen to my mother."

Then, she thought again, didn't she have the counterattack function? Yes, use the counterattack function to deal with him.

So, she activated the backlash function on Du Teng. After a few seconds, Du Teng showed no reaction and continued to yell.

She tried it several times, but it still didn't work. What happened?

She paused for a moment and suddenly remembered that this backlash function would only work when she was in danger, and it would not work on others.

She was a little flustered at this time, but in a flash she remembered her mother's instructions.

Xuan'er, no matter what happens, don't panic, you must stay calm.

So, she tried hard to suppress her emotions and not let her expression show as much as possible.

Then, he said to Du Teng in a friendly tone, "Du Teng, don't get excited. As long as you release my mother, I will let you leave here immediately."

Hahahaha, Du Teng burst into laughter after hearing this: "Princess Xuan! Do you take me for a fool? If I release the queen, Du Yan will be dead!"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Zixuan hurriedly said, "Du Teng, how about I swap with the Queen and you take me as a hostage?"

At this time, the queen, who was frightened half to death, shook her head desperately and shouted loudly: "Xuan'er, don't come over to replace me, don't come over! Don't come over!"

Seeing this, Zixuan couldn't help but feel sad and almost shed tears.

His own mother was obviously afraid of death, but in order to prevent himself from being hurt, he was willing to bear such danger for her.

Just as she was thinking, Du Teng's hoarse voice reached her ears again: "Princess Xuan, you bitch! Stop playing tricks!"

"Hurry up and prepare a fast horse for me! I want to leave the city! If you dare not obey my order, I will die with the queen!"

Ah! Zixuan screamed in fear and quickly ordered the guards: "Quick, go prepare the horses!"

“Yes!” the guard agreed and ran out quickly.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to find two snipers to shoot Du Teng?"

At this moment, the voice of the machine boss rang in her mind.

Zixuan's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, how could I have forgotten again!"

She immediately responded with her mind: "Okay, go quickly, remember, you must kill him with one strike!"

The machine boss quickly responded: "Don't worry, the king will be fine."

Zixuan was about to add a few more words, but before she could open her mouth, she saw two red lines whizzing through Du Teng's head.

Du Teng didn't even utter a scream before he fell straight to the ground with a thud and died.
