Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Chapter 189 She was careless

The Queen Mother's body trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but was quickly replaced by anger.

She slammed the table and shouted, "My son, how dare you speak to me like that! Everything I do is for the country of Lan!"

Lan Xuanming's eyes were stern, and his tone was filled with sarcasm: "For the sake of Lan Country? Mother, you are only pursuing your own power."

---

At this moment, Liu Xuer suddenly pulled out a dagger from her waist, flashed, and instantly approached Feng Qingyue.

Feng Qingyue's attention was all on the Queen Mother and Lan Xuanming, and she was not paying attention for a moment and was held hostage by Liu Xuer.

The cold dagger pressed against Feng Qingyue's neck. Liu Xuer's voice was filled with madness: "Why? Why? Ah Ming was just a little bit away from marrying me! Why did you still show up? Why are you always so lucky!"

Her voice was sharp and trembling, and her eyes were full of jealousy and resentment.

---

Everyone in the hall was stunned by this sudden change.

Lan Xuanming's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Liu Xuer, and said anxiously, "Liu Xuer, let go of Ah Yue!"

When Liu Xuer heard Lan Xuanming's voice, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, and then she laughed wildly.

"Ah Yue? Haha, you're calling me that so affectionately!" Her laughter was tinged with sadness. "Ah Ming, from childhood to adulthood, I've always been the only one who has stayed with you and never abandoned you! But why can't you see the good in me? Why do your eyes always linger on An Qingyue? Why!"

Her voice became increasingly sharp, and the dagger in her hand unconsciously tightened a little.

A trace of blood seeped from Feng Qingyue's neck, but her expression remained calm, and she looked at Liu Xuer with cold eyes.

"Liu Xuer, calm down." Feng Qingyue said in a low voice, with a hint of comfort in her tone.

---

Seeing this, Lan Xuanming was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to act rashly.

He took a deep breath, his tone pleading: "Liu Xu'er, please let A Yue go. I can forgive the past. As long as you put down the dagger, I promise that you will be safe."

When Liu Xuer heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness.

"Let bygones be bygones? Haha, Ah Ming, do you think I'll still believe you?" Her voice was tinged with despair. "From childhood to adulthood, I've given so much for you, but you only have eyes for An Qingyue! What's so good about her? Why does everyone protect her?"

She became more and more agitated, and the dagger in her hand became more and more powerful.

---

Seeing this, Chen Jinyu and Zizhu Yingchen immediately stepped forward, but were stopped sternly by Liu Xuer.

"Don't come over! Otherwise I will kill her immediately!" There was a hint of hysteria in Liu Xuer's voice.

Chen Jinyu and Zizhu Yingchen were forced to stop and looked at Liu Xuer with cold eyes, but did not dare to act rashly.

---

Feng Qingyue felt the pain in her neck, but remained calm.

She whispered, "Liu Xu'er, let me go, let's talk."

Liu Xuer sneered, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "Talk? An Qingyue, do you think I'll still believe your sweet talk? You're always like this, pretending to be kind and innocent, but in reality, you're the most hypocritical person!"

There was a hint of hysteria in her voice, and the dagger in her hand began to tremble unconsciously.

---

At this moment, Zizhu Yingchen suddenly spoke, his voice icy cold: "If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I will make you live a life worse than death."

There was a hint of murderous intent in his voice, and his eyes behind the mask were as sharp as a knife.

Liu Xuer was frightened by his aura, and the dagger in her hand trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her madness.

"Life is worse than death? Haha, I am already living a life worse than death!" There was a bit of sadness in her voice.

"Ah Ming, since I can't have you, then she can't have you either!"

As she spoke, she suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed it towards Feng Qingyue's neck.

Just as Liu Xuer's dagger was about to stab, Zizhu Yingchen's sword stabbed out like lightning and hit her arm accurately.

"Ah!" Liu Xuer screamed in pain, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

She covered her injured arm and fell to the ground in pain, her face as pale as paper.

---

Feng Qingyue stood where she was, looking coldly at Liu Xuer who was lying on the ground, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.

She didn't say anything, but her eyes swept over everyone in the hall, finally landing on the Queen Mother.

"It's time to end this farce." Feng Qingyue's voice was cold and firm, as if putting an end to this chaos.

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. However, just as she took a step, her body suddenly went limp and she fell forward.

---

At this critical moment, a figure appeared like a ghost and caught Feng Qingyue steadily.

It’s Jun Lingyuan.

He looked down at the unconscious Feng Qingyue in his arms, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.

"Ayue!" Lan Xuanming and Chen Jinyu exclaimed almost at the same time and rushed over quickly.

However, Jun Lingyuan was one step faster than them and had already held Feng Qingyue steadily in his arms.

---

Lan Xuanming rushed to Jun Lingyuan, looking at Feng Qingyue anxiously, his voice trembling: "What happened to Ah Yue? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Jun Lingyuan didn't answer. He just lowered his head to check the wound on Feng Qingyue's neck, then said coldly, "The dagger is poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Chen Jinyu's face changed, and his eyes swept across Liu Xu'er on the ground. "Did you poison the dagger?"

---

At this time, the national teacher had already run to Liu Xuer's side, knelt on the ground, and helped her up tremblingly.

"Xu'er, what's wrong with you? How could you do such a thing?" There was a hint of sadness and disbelief in the national teacher's voice.

Liu Xuer's face was pale, her eyes filled with tears. Her voice was weak but filled with a hint of obsession: "Father... I... I just wanted him to look at me... Why... Why is there only An Qingyue in his eyes..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker, and she finally fainted in the arms of the Imperial Master.

---

When the Queen Mother saw this scene, her face became extremely gloomy and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

She stood up suddenly and shouted sternly, "Come here! Capture Liu Xu'er and the Imperial Preceptor! They dared to murder the goddess. Their crime is unforgivable!"

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately rushed forward and surrounded the Imperial Master and Liu Xuer.

The Imperial Master raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Queen Mother, are you going to burn your bridges after crossing them?"

The Queen Mother's expression instantly turned ugly, and she sternly said, "How dare you! As the Queen Mother, how could I be so complicit in your corruption?"

---

Jun Lingyuan ignored the chaos in the hall and looked down at Feng Qingyue in his arms. His tone was filled with urgency: "I'll take her away first. I'll leave this place to you."

After saying that, he flashed and quickly left the hall holding Feng Qingyue.

---

Lan Xuanming looked at Jun Lingyuan's departing back, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, turned and looked at the Queen Mother, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Mother, this farce should end." His voice was filled with authority. "Come, please take the Queen Mother back to the bedroom. Without my order, you are not allowed to take a single step!"

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Lan Xuanming in disbelief: "My son, you...how dare you treat me like this!"

Lan Xuanming looked at her coldly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Mother, from today on, you will reflect on your mistakes in the palace."
