I survived as a female assassin

"No!"

The Imperial Noble Consort tried to stop him, but Xiahou Rui had already completely let himself go.

"Thank you, Queen, for your help. I will go and ask for your permission from my father right away!"

The imperial concubine was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot, and the maid beside her supported her.

Xia Hou Rui wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he pulled Leng Yue away from the election banquet quickly.

He really went in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

But when he was halfway there, he felt a piercing pain in his wrist. It was Leng Yue's masterpiece.

"Dare to set a trap for me?"

"Don't give me any extra ideas before the big plan is accomplished."

Xia Hou Rui had no choice but to show weakness quickly, "Yes, yes, I'll do as you say. Let go first, let go."

Leng Yue slowly loosened his hand. Didn’t he just go against his mother? Wasn’t he quite courageous?

Why is she so weak again now? Where did she exert any strength...

*

This matter has already caused enough trouble that the election will definitely not be able to continue.

But the Queen Mother is worthy of being the mother of a country, and she has seen all kinds of storms.

She soon turned back into the queen whose appearance and demeanor were impeccable.

"I wonder if King Jing has found any?"

The queen had already informed her only son, Prince Jing Mu Yubai, in advance that she had chosen Pei Shuxian, the daughter of the Shangshu, for him on the day of the election.

Minister Pei is the most trusted person to the emperor besides Prime Minister He Qizon.

He Qizhuo has had too many stains over the years, and his downfall is only a matter of time.

And Minister Pei will definitely be the best candidate for the next prime minister.

So in the end, she will win!

Noticing that Mu Yubai was distracted, the queen coughed lightly as a reminder.

Prince Jing Mu Yubai already knew what his mother's intention was.

But he just looked at Mu Yuan.

The second brother just taught him another lesson.

Originally, he thought it didn't matter who he married, as this was the will of his parents and the matchmaker.

This is especially true for their royal son.

But he saw deep affection and determination in his second brother's eyes, the look he gave a woman.

He was very curious about what kind of emotion would reveal such an expression...

He also wanted to feel it urgently, so that his life would not be in vain!

"King Jing?"

The Queen raised her voice, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Mu Yubai had already made up his mind, "Mother, I, like my second brother, already have someone I like."

"There's no rush for my son's marriage. It won't be too late to decide after my second brother's wedding."

"I hope my mother will grant my wish!"

The queen could no longer pretend.

He slapped the table in front of him, frightening everyone present so much that they trembled.

"you!"

"It's so stupid, so stupid!"

"As soon as I opened my mouth I called you 'Second Brother'. Second Brother, how could I have given birth to such a useless thing like you!"

Then she swept everything on the table to the floor.

The queen was breathing heavily. After all, she was old. She had used all means in her life to sit in her current position, but in the end, it was all in vain.

It must be God punishing her!

"What are you looking at!"

"Get out of here!"

"Shut your mouth tightly!"

Eunuch Liu shuddered with fear, then announced that today's election was over and dismissed everyone.

It was the first time that Xin Youran saw the queen go crazy at such a close distance.

I couldn't help but ask Mu Yuan, "How old is the Queen?"

"I think it's probably menopause."

Mu Yuan was confused and didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Tong Wan brought the little one over.

Tong Wan: "Your Highness, my mission is accomplished, right?"

"It's up to you guys from now on~"

Mu Yuan bowed solemnly, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Tong Wan raised her hand and waved, "I told you it has nothing to do with you now, so why thank me? Okay, I'll be at your service if you need anything."

"I'll take Yingying to the Imperial Garden for a stroll first."

"I haven't been here for a long time..."

Only then did the little one pull Xin Youran's hand and said with envy, "Sister, your clothes look so beautiful today!"

"Yingying must grow up quickly. She wants to be as beautiful as you and wear nice clothes in the future!"

Xin Youran bent down and looked at the little one with a smile, "Our Yingying is very beautiful now!"

Then, like a magic trick, she took out a pastry wrapped in a clean handkerchief hidden in her sleeve and said, "Come, try it. This is the best mung bean pastry we had at the election banquet today, and it's also the best mung bean pastry I've ever eaten in my life."

"I noticed you didn't eat anything at the banquet."

"You must be hungry, right?"

The little one shook his head repeatedly, "Father specifically told us not to eat or drink anything here."

Xin Youran blushed when she heard this. During the battle at the banquet, she had been talking non-stop...

Tong Wan pulled the little one's hand and said, "Mu Chuan is too cautious in everything he does. Don't be offended, Youyou."

"No, no, I didn't think it through. But I've already tasted it. I'll study it when I get back and try to make mung bean pastries with the same flavor. I'll give them to Yingying then, okay?"

Xin Youran quickly put away the handkerchief.

It doesn't matter that she is immune to all poisons.

"Thank you, Miss!"

Until Tong Wan took the little one away, Xin Youran's mind was still echoing with Tong Wan's words.

It is true that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. I sighed again, it is really not easy for Mu Yuan to survive until now!

Xin Youran noticed that Mu Yuan was also thinking about something, so she took the initiative to ask, "Mu Yuan, what should we do next?"

Mu Yuan seemed to have anticipated the outcome of the election. "You'll know soon, my lady. The fun has just begun."

I knew that there would be no peace in the palace today. It really feels a bit like the Monkey King making trouble in Heaven.

But Mu Yuan originally belonged to this palace.

Xin Youran: "So where are we going now?"

Mu Yuan: "Don't worry, the Prime Minister is on his way."

After watching the drama in the Imperial Garden, Xin Youran couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

"So you called Tong Wan here to deal with the Empress?"

"It's strange to say, the Queen seems to be quite afraid of Tong Wan."

Mu Yuan looked at Xin Youran nervously, "My lady, you won't hate me for this, will you?"

"Ever since I fell in love with you, I have never schemed against you, and I certainly won't in the future!"

She sighed casually, why did she feel like Mu Yuan was confessing his feelings to her...

"Ahem, well, you haven't answered my question yet."

Mu Yuan then replied, "That's what I meant, but that's not all."

"When the imperial aunt was pregnant with Yingying, the imperial uncle found her and brought her back with a very tough attitude."

"The emperor's uncle is willing to surrender his military power in exchange for the emperor's permission to marry him."

"The Queen was even worse at the time, obstructing and making things difficult for her at every turn, but she was resolved one by one by the Imperial Aunt."

"The queen was furious and ordered her to be pushed into the lake, pretending it was an accident."

Xin Youran couldn't help but exclaim, "She's still pregnant. Is the Queen trying to kill two people with one body?!"

Mu Yuan nodded. "But she had no idea that the Queen's aunt was an excellent swimmer. Not only was she fine, she quickly got ashore and grabbed the Queen by the hair and pushed her into the lake."

"Just squat on the shore and watch. As soon as she shows her head, push her underwater."

"Everyone present was terrified. After the queen was rescued, she remained unconscious and had nightmares."

Xin Youran couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Tong Wan is really great!

"Hahahaha, no wonder she didn't even refute when Tong Wan confronted her."

"I guess seeing Tong Wan makes her feel terrified."

"Your trick is really brilliant. Who can be afraid of their own psychological shadow?"

The two chatted and laughed until they arrived at a pavilion.

At this time, Jiemie and Liefeng appeared in the pavilion together.

Liefeng has always known that since Xueying's failure, he has had a close relationship with Crown Prince Mu Yuan.

And she is so different from before...

He already knew what happened in today's election. The moment he saw the two of them holding hands in the dark, he was so jealous that he almost went crazy!

But in the end, I could never get her love, from beginning to end.

Mu Yuan saw it clearly. He walked towards Lie Feng and performed the gentlemanly ceremony. "I am deeply grateful for your generous gift at the election banquet. In return, what do you need from me?"

Liefeng still stood there with an expressionless face. Although he was wearing the official uniform of the Jinwu Guard, he did not show any proper courtesy towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The situation was a bit awkward, so Xin Youran reminded him, "Brother Lie?"

Lie Feng then took action, "It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He just did to Leng Yue what He Yunshu wanted to do to her. As for the guard who claimed to be He Qizon's son, he was indeed arranged by him in advance.
