The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 61 The Crisis Brought by the Distinguished Guests
The lights shone brightly, and the palace hall was filled with prosperity and joy. Everyone laughed and chatted, immersed in the excitement of the feast. However, this tranquility was shattered in an instant. A slender figure walked in, and the entire hall seemed to stand still with her arrival.
"Princess Anguo, An Ruyan!"
Liu Tianjiao's voice boomed like spring thunder, capturing the attention of the entire audience. An Ruyan slowly entered, her robes fluttering, emanating a noble and mysterious aura, like a flower blooming in the cold frost. Each of her steps was graceful and composed, yet Yun Mengting's heart was roiling like a storm.
"An Ruyan..." Those four words echoed in her heart, like a sharp blade slicing through her calm exterior. The various situations she had contrived in her past life surfaced, and painful memories flooded back like a tide. She could never let this past happen again.
"Yun Mengting, you seem surprised by my arrival," An Ruyan said softly, her gaze firm and sharp, like an invisible knife piercing her heart. Her smile was a mixture of playfulness and provocation, and everyone present could feel her powerful aura.
"I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to attend such a gathering in person." Yun Mengting was secretly alert and tried to keep her expression calm. She knew that facing an opponent like An Ruyan, any slackness could be fatal.
An Ruyan smiled faintly, her voice as clear as pearls. "I've come here hoping to establish a deeper cooperative relationship with the palace. The future is volatile, and joining forces is crucial." Her eyes concealed unfathomable ambition, and Yun Mengting felt a sense of alarm.
At this moment, the clinking of glasses and the sound of laughter echoed one after another, but the atmosphere at the party became even more tense due to the princess's arrival, and everyone could sense the hidden crisis. Yun Mengting felt a heavy feeling in her heart. She knew that An Ruyan's intentions were far more than just superficial cooperation.
Just as everyone toasted to celebrate once more, hoping to put the impending threat behind them, a quarrel erupted outside the door, a clashing noise instantly shattering the harmony of the gathering. Several guards burst in, their faces pale and their chests heaving.
"Report to Your Highness, an assassin has been spotted outside!" Their voices were trembling and unstable, as if a storm was about to come.
"Assassin?!" Yun Mengting's heart sank. As a reborn Medical Consort, her keen intuition told her that the situation was out of control. She quickly scanned her surroundings, assessing all possible risks and response options.
"Everyone, don't panic, stay calm!" Liu Tianjiao stood up without showing any weakness, trying to gather her aura, "Guards, check the surroundings immediately and ensure everyone's safety!" Her voice contained the authority of a leader, but she could not hide the panic in her heart.
An Ruyan smiled slightly, as if she was not surprised by the sudden chaos. Her eyes looked through the noisy crowd, revealing a hint of sinister complacency, as if she had already expected all this.
Yun Mengting's heart tightened. Her intuition told her that An Ruyan might be behind this crisis. She gripped the hilt of her knife tightly. As a consort of the Imperial Physician, she could no longer allow herself to be manipulated by her opponents as she had in her previous life. She must use her wisdom and medical skills to protect herself and the people in the palace.
In a flash, the situation became increasingly chaotic, and the guests grew restless. Yun Mengting decided she could no longer sit idly by and wait for death. "Guards, focus your attention and search for the scissors and herbs! If we can prevent the enemy from getting hurt, even if we can let them escape for a day, we'll have a good chance of victory!" she muttered to herself, her medical knowledge becoming invaluable at this moment.
"I'll go check out the situation." Yun Mengting finally made up her mind and walked towards the door. She didn't want to just hide in a safe place; she wanted to use this opportunity to control the situation as much as possible.
But just as she was about to push the door open, the quarrel outside suddenly intensified, accompanied by hurried footsteps and sharp alarms. She only felt a powerful momentum rushing towards her.
"Yun Mengting, come back soon!" Liu Tianjiao shouted anxiously in a low voice, with a hint of ominous premonition.
Yun Mengting's heart tightened as she turned to look at An Ruyan. In that moment, a realization dawned on her. In the moments that followed, a life-or-death struggle would unfold between her and her enemy. She would not only muster all her strategy and wisdom, but also the vigilance and resolve of her rebirth to defend herself and everything she loved.
At this moment, her destiny is being written, and what is about to happen may be a turning point in her fate.
