Upon hearing that the assassin's target was the emperor, the two guards who had been quietly approaching Jiang Yueyang turned around smoothly.

[You, you, you... you're going to piss me off! How is this good news? If anything were to happen to your majesty in my family, my entire family wouldn't be able to escape death even if they had ten lives! No, my entire clan would be buried with you!]

Jiang Yueyang's voice was trembling with anger. "Tell me quickly who the assassins are? How many are there? Where are they?"

[The female assassin is coming in from outside, carrying poisoned wine. She is expected to arrive at the battlefield in 360 seconds.]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who heard the inner voice looked towards the entrance without leaving any trace.

Jiang Yueyang asked uncertainly: [An assassin?]

There are five assassins among the troupe of acrobats who will be performing later: three men and two women.

Jiang Yueyang remained silent. Six people dared to assassinate the emperor.

Does it mean that they are skilled and courageous?

Or do you not want to live?

However, it is better to be cautious in everything. If His Majesty is injured, she will also be hurt.

So, she thought for a moment, then stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, is the scenery there beautiful?"

The coming-of-age ceremony banquet was held in the back garden of the Jiang Mansion, with clusters of flowers, small bridges and flowing water, which gave it a unique flavor.

At that time, the female assassin will come over from the wooden bridge.

Emperor Yuan didn't know what she was going to do, but he still followed her words and replied, "Not bad."

"Then can I stand on your side?"

Emperor Yuan understood that she wanted to come over to protect him, but with her small body, it was uncertain who would protect whom.

Don't let the assassin kill you by mistake.

However, it's still good that she has this intention.

For this reason, Emperor Yuan said in a good mood: "If you want to stand, then stand."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang lifted her skirt and trotted over.

She stood beside Emperor Yuan and raised her hand to remove the protective shield on her hand.

"Your Majesty, I have something here that can repel mosquitoes. I'd like to lend it to you."

Emperor Yuan suspected he had misheard and asked, "Can you lend it to me?"

Jiang Yueyang understood Emperor Yuan's tone. It was obvious that he was saying, are you sure you're not giving it as a gift, but borrowing it?

"Your Majesty, I spent a lot of money to buy this." Jiang Yueyang muttered softly, "You can't let me bleed again if you don't give me a birthday present?"

Emperor Yuan: “…”

The Queen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "It was our oversight. Can we make it up to Master Xiao Jiang later?"

Today, after His Majesty finished his government affairs, he came to ask her to attend Jiang Yueyang's coming-of-age ceremony.

She thought His Majesty had prepared gifts, but she never expected that he hadn't.

Jiang Yueyang was about to say no when Emperor Yuan took off the token from his waist and threw it to her.

Jiang Yueyang took it subconsciously. The token was made of warm jade.

It is shaped like a plump leaf, with a soaring dragon and the word "Yuan" engraved on it.

"Seeing this token is like seeing me. I give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately grabbed the token tightly. "Your Majesty, you prodigal son, can you just throw something like this around? If it breaks, is it his or mine?"

Emperor Yuan: “…”

The Queen turned her head away and wiped the saline solution from the corner of her eyes. Miss Jiang’s words were so interesting.

If Qingye was half as fun as she is, I wouldn't be so eager to have another child with Your Majesty. (Princess Yuan Qingye)

The guests present lowered their heads silently and tried to suppress their laughter, until their shoulders trembled.

The third prince was the happiest, pounding the ground secretly with his fists.

This is the first time I heard someone say that my father is a spendthrift, even though he is obviously very stingy.

Whenever he wanted to reward his ministers with gifts, he would give them his own calligraphy, or some copybooks that he didn't like.

System: [Host, quickly collect the token. This token grants you the power of life and death. Execute first and report later!]

Jiang Yueyang put the token in his pocket and bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. But one thing is for another, this bracelet can only be borrowed by Your Majesty."

As she spoke, she naturally took Emperor Yuan's hand and put the protective shield on his hand.

Emperor Yuan looked at the black circle on his hand and disliked the ugly sports bracelet.

But he didn't say anything, just asked: "You ugly guy...how much did you spend on this thing? Why are you so reluctant to part with it?"

"Your Majesty, you don't want to know."

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Emperor Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He thought it would be better not to make things difficult for himself, otherwise he would feel unbalanced.

By the way, Song Qian seems to have a daughter who is not married yet.

Just when Emperor Yuan was thinking about which son to marry into the Song family, or rather, which son to ask for marriage to a girl from the Song family, the dance performance on the stage ended.

Emperor Yuan's expression changed immediately, and the guests became nervous, as the next show was going to be a circus performance.

Xie Xu, who was guarding the emperor, stared at every move around him with sharp eyes.

System: [Host, here we come.]

Jiang Yueyang looked towards the wooden bridge, where four maids were slowly walking across the bridge carrying wine.

The juggling troupe also came out with bowls on their heads, twirling handkerchiefs, doing somersaults, and breathing fire.

Because they knew in advance that there was an assassin in the troupe, they could find that there was something wrong with the eyes of five of them by just observing carefully.

Their eyes would occasionally fall on the female assassin who delivered the poisoned wine, and from time to time they would exchange glances with their companions around them.

Jiang Yueyang kept her eyes fixed on the four maids who were delivering the wine, and sure enough, one of them was coming towards His Majesty.

The maid first knelt down and poured a glass of wine for the Queen, then stood up and walked to His Majesty and poured a glass for him as well.

Emperor Yuan picked up the wine glass and was about to drink, but Jiang Yueyang quickly snatched the glass from his hand and threw it behind him.

A guard standing behind was hit hard.

Facing the Emperor Shangyuan's feigned confusion, Jiang Yueyang lied seriously, "Your Majesty, I just saw a mosquito fall into the wine glass. My stuff is good, isn't it? The mosquito was poisoned to death."

When the female assassin heard the word poison, her body trembled.

Emperor Yuan glanced at her and said, "You threw away my wine glass. What should I drink with?"

"Your Majesty, drinking is harmful to your health, so it's better not to drink."

The female assassin, who was about to pick up the wine glass again to pour wine for Emperor Yuan, paused. Was she discovered?

The female assassin quickly glanced at Jiang Yueyang and saw that she was smiling, but she didn't notice anything wrong.

Emperor Yuan turned around and complained to the Empress, "Empress, look how stingy she is. Not only is she reluctant to give me this thing, but now she's even reluctant to give me some wine."

Queen: "..."

The Crown Prince & the Third Prince: Father acted really well.

Jiang Yueyang ignored Emperor Yuan's complaint and looked towards the acrobatics.

It's really hard for those assassins. In order to assassinate His Majesty, they have to practice juggling skills first.

It would be better to send a beauty into the palace and exchange one life for another.

Over there, the assassin, who was breathing fire, used the cover of the firelight to ask the man who was holding a dozen bowls next to him, "Sir, what should we do if the dog emperor didn't drink the poisoned wine?"

The man hesitated for only a moment before throwing the bowl at Emperor Yuan, "You dog emperor, give me your life!"
