You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Guo Shu and Mu Yunge, accompanied by two maids, strolled slowly along the way, and only headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony when the banquet was about to begin.

When they reached the door, An Bei and An Su were stopped by someone: "Girls, there are many people at the banquet today. The attendants cannot enter the hall and can only wait outside."

As he spoke, he nodded to the side. A few people looked over and saw a group of people who looked like maids sitting or standing by.

Haha, they really racked their brains and prepared thoroughly.

Mu Yunge sighed inwardly and glanced at An Bei and An Su. The master and servant reached a tacit understanding between their glances.

At the same time, he took a few steps back and reminded An Su quietly, "Miss, if they want to take action at the banquet, there are only three ways: one is to put drugs in your wine, one is to deliberately wet your clothes, and the other is to use that powder.

You've taken the Hundred Poison Pill, so drugs and powders are no longer effective against you. The only solution is to get your clothes wet, so you need to be extra careful."

After saying that, he stuffed his special handkerchief into Mu Yun's sleeve.

An Bei comforted him, "We will always keep an eye on the door. We will see you as soon as you come out. Whether you want to change clothes or go out for some fresh air, we will accompany you.

If they want to take you through a side door, you must refuse and leave through the main door so that we can follow you."

"okay, I get it."

Mu Yunge followed Guo Shu's footsteps and stepped into the hall. A palace servant came to lead the two of them.

When they arrived at the assigned seats, Guo Shu and Mu Yunge were even more speechless after taking a look. Under normal circumstances, the seats at a banquet are arranged according to the official's rank.

This time, they put in some effort and did not follow the routine. They arranged the second house and the general's mansion together. There were also two families from Zhao Hongyi's faction nearby.

It seems that they must accomplish their goal today.

Mu Qinxue saw the mother and daughter, and waved with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Aunt, sister!"

The mother and daughter pretended not to see or hear anything and sat down in their seats.

Some people were observant and noticed that today's birthday party was unusual from several differences in the party. After a little thought, they understood what was going on and secretly felt sorry for Mu Yunge.

Today's palace banquet has set up a tight net, and Miss Mu is afraid that it will be difficult for her to escape unscathed.

Just as the mother and daughter sat down for a while, Mu Qinxue shamelessly squeezed over and said, "Auntie, sister, please don't ignore me. We are family after all. Please give me some face in public."

"Face? How come you didn't think about saving face when you climbed into a man's bed?" Mu Yunge retorted bluntly.

Mu Qinxue tried to hug Mu Yunge's arm again, but Mu Yunge shook it off. "If you want to save some face, just sit back in your seat."

Mu Qinxue reluctantly let go and tried to hug Guo Shu's arm again, but was also pushed away by Guo Shu.

Mu Qinxue cursed secretly in her heart.

Since you have done everything to the extreme and left me no leeway, don't blame me for being ruthless. After today, let's see what you can still use to look down on others and act so high and mighty?

Having achieved her goal, Mu Qinxue returned to her seat pretending to be aggrieved as everyone watched her.

Mu Yunge deliberately took out the handkerchief given by An Su, gently wiped the place where Mu Qinxue had touched, and then wiped Guo Shu.

To outsiders, this action undoubtedly showed extreme disgust towards Mu Qinxue.

The people watching the show had different expressions on their faces.

Mu Qinxue was both embarrassed and angry. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head to avoid the contemptuous gazes of the crowd.

Li whispered, "Did she wipe that thing off?"

"Don't worry, an ordinary handkerchief can't wipe it off."

Li's face relaxed and she pretended to be forbearing.

Not long after, the emperor, Concubine Lin, Zhao Hongyi and others arrived, and the birthday banquet officially began.

Mu Yunge took the opportunity of bowing to secretly glance at the entire audience.

At this glance, he happened to see that the Duke's wife, who was closest to the first seat, was talking to Lin Jinhao. Lin Jinhao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Zhao Hongyi, who was standing next to Emperor Yan and Concubine Lin, looked at the whole audience with a faint smile, and a hint of viciousness in his eyes inadvertently swept towards him.

Mu Yunge withdrew his gaze and sat down with everyone else.

After Emperor Yan and Concubine Lin exchanged some polite words, the banquet officially began. The palace servants shuttled among the guests, pouring wine and serving food to everyone.

After three rounds of drinking, the Great Yan Emperor said: "Today is the birthday of the virtuous concubine. Let's gather together for a lively occasion. Everyone, please feel free to eat and drink as you please. Don't be restrained."

Now, the princes and ministers began to walk around and chat, some toasted, some chatted.

Everyone else was eating and drinking, so Guo Shu and Mu Yunge didn't want to be too special. They tasted every dish and drink on the table.

At this time, two palace maids went to the area where they were sitting and poured wine for each of them.

When it was the mother and daughter's turn, the palace attendant poured wine for them and said, "Madam, Miss, this is a tribute fruit wine from foreign countries. It's mellow and fragrant without being intoxicating. Everyone says it's delicious. Please try it."

Mu Yunge smiled faintly and nodded, taking a sip: "It's really good, thank you both ladies!"

The two palace maids nodded and went to pour wine for others.

Mu Yunge held the wine in his hand, tilted his head and whispered to Guo Shu, "Mother, this wine might not be very clean. Wait a minute, I'll use the excuse of being hot inside to go out for some fresh air.

This way, I can avoid them using other tricks against me when they see that I don't react. If I am splashed with tea, they will definitely take me out the back door.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative to go out and meet up with An Bei and the others."

Guo nodded slightly, "Be careful!"

"Well, be careful too, mother!"

As he said this, he tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of wine.

Mu Qinxue saw Mu Yunge finish his drink and nodded somewhere.

Not long after, Mu Yunge fanned himself with his hands and said, "It's a bit hot in here. I'm going out to get some fresh air."

"Okay, don't stay too long, come in early."

"understood!"

Mu Yunge stood up and walked out.

After watching the person leave the hall, someone found an excuse to follow him out.

Seeing this, Mu Qinxue also stood up and said, "Mother, as long as we send her over, our mission will be completed. Whether it succeeds or not is none of our business."

Li hurriedly pulled the person back and glanced in Guo Shu's direction, "Did you smear that stuff on her too?"

"Yes! They, mother and daughter, humiliated me and didn't let me live a good life. I want one of them to have sex with a man and the other to make a fool of themselves in public. Only then can I vent the anger in my heart and relieve the hatred in my heart."

Li thought about how ruthlessly Concubine Lin and the Duke's wife had treated her in Jingyang Palace.

He reminded her anxiously, "Let's forget about Guo Shu! Today's target is Mu Yunge. If you attack her, both mother and daughter will be in trouble at the same time. Be careful not to make things worse and anger the emperor.

Besides, if the plan goes awry, it will be hard to explain to Concubine Xian and the others."

Mu Qinxue hesitated for a moment, "Will the Emperor vent his anger on the virtuous concubine?"

"Of course! There's a war going on at the border right now, and the commander's wife and daughter are both in trouble in the palace. Do you think the emperor will vent his anger on you in order to get an explanation?"

When the time comes, they will push you out to take the blame, and you won’t survive.”

Mu Qinxue said unhappily, "Alright, I got it. I'll take action after I leave the palace."

Now, Li finally felt relieved.

Mu Qinxue pulled the daughters of the other two families up and said, "Let's go out and get some fresh air..."
