Seeing them using herself as a raft, Wan Shufang suddenly felt embarrassed.

She had no choice but to smooth things over: "Whether it is the bracelet given by the Queen or the pearl earrings given by Concubine Xue, I feel that they are precious things that I have rarely seen in most of my life. I will definitely take good care of them and never give up on them." Let them gather dust.”

"You know the truth." Concubine Xue Guifei Leng Hui was stunned when she heard Wan Shufang's words, then came back to her senses and gave her a cold look.

"You go back first." Seeing Wan Shufang accept Concubine Xue's cold look calmly, Concubine De thought that she and Wan Shufang had been friends before, so she gave her a good deal.

Wan Shufang quickly glanced at the queen. The queen was satisfied with her little attitude and immediately nodded to her to return to Chen Changli first.

With the Queen's permission, Wan Shufang withdrew.

Her retreat made Concubine Xue smile coldly.

"This woman really listens to the queen. It seems that country women also have some merits."

On the surface, she was mocking Wan Shufang, but in fact, she was mocking the queen.

"Concubine Xue, you are drunk." Before the queen could speak, the emperor suddenly cast his cold gaze on Concubine Xue.

Concubine Xue Guifei received his ruthless gaze and felt that her heart was full of unwillingness and resentment, but she quickly showed a flattering smile to the emperor on her face.

"I am indeed a little drunk. Fortunately, Your Majesty reminded me, otherwise I will make a joke later."

After she finished speaking, she tugged on the veil with her hand and turned her eyes to the queen again.

She wanted to squeeze on the queen and have her be reprimanded by the emperor.

It was a pity that the emperor spoke like that, and Concubine Xue did not dare to continue no matter how much she wanted to embarrass the queen.

She could only sulk alone, but stared at the queen with dagger-like eyes, as if she could vent her annoyance in this way.

The Queen noticed that she was staring at her, and felt very unhappy, but she didn't show it at all on her face.

She put on the airs of a queen, which was enough to make Concubine Xue jealous.

The queen had a smile on her face, as gentle and kind as ever.

When Wan Shufang returned to her seat, she could see the smile on her face as soon as she raised her head.

She reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist. She always felt that the queen's gentle smile was as cold as the bracelet on her wrist. It was so cold that it could chill people's hearts.

At this time, Chen Changli stretched out his hand to hold her, and spoke in a very low voice so that only she could hear: "The queen does care about your majesty."

Wan Shufang held his hand but said nothing.

Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was very obvious. Chen Changli understood her thoughts and immediately shook hands with her like this.

It took Wan Shufang a long time to calm down her emotions, and then she smiled at Chen Changli.

She smiled crisply and said: "The Queen is sincere to His Majesty, and she pays close attention to His Majesty. The same is true for Concubine Xue and Concubine Shu. Only Concubine De is a bit unkind to His Majesty."

"Perhaps it is because Concubine De has a very cold attitude towards His Majesty that the Queen is particularly indulgent towards her."

When Chen Changli heard something in her words, he immediately thought of the fact that the Queen deliberately added fuel to the flames after knowing that Concubine De had done something to the Crown Prince.

He didn't think the queen was that big-hearted.

He believed that the queen had another purpose in treating the prince like this.

It's just that this matter involves the concubines of the harem. No matter how capable his people are, they can't investigate inside the palace in a short period of time, so the prince can only work hard.

Chen Changli relaxed unconsciously when he thought that the prince was already investigating some things.

He said to Wan Shufang: "If you have any ideas in the future, you can tell me, and I will find a way to investigate some things."

When Wan Shufang heard this and was about to speak, a dozen dancing girls suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, and musicians not far away began to play music.

She quickly looked towards the center of the hall and saw a dozen women in bright red dance costumes dancing.

They are like butterflies, dancing very gracefully and charmingly.

"Why did you start dancing?" Wan Shufang was confused.

"This dance was arranged by the queen." Chen Changli noticed that the queen winked at the maids beside him. The man went to the back hall, and then the dancers came in accompanied by music.

"Is this dance specially dedicated to His Majesty? Why do I feel that one of them is getting closer and closer as he dances?"

After hearing Chen Changli's words, Wan Shufang observed the dance in front of her more carefully.

She thought the dance was very good and couldn't help admiring it with an appreciative look.

But after a while, she felt that something was not right about one person.

She actually danced up to the high platform, as if she was going to seduce the emperor.

Seeing her actions, Wan Shufang became more and more excited about what was going to happen next.

This was the first time she had seen someone seduce the emperor in front of so many people, but she didn't know whether the emperor would directly take the dancer into the harem as she thought.

"This person... is wrong." Chen Changli followed Wan Shufang's gaze and noticed the petite dancer.

He only took one look and felt that something was wrong with this person. After all, today's banquet was a New Year's Eve banquet, a feast for the emperor to express condolences to the civil and military officials for their hard work over the past year.

As the emperor's wife, the queen, even if she wanted to arrange a woman for the emperor, she would not be able to arrange it at such a banquet. Otherwise, if the incident spread, would the emperor still want his reputation?

"Is this woman trying to assassinate His Majesty?" Wan Shufang heard something was wrong in Chen Changli's tone and quickly looked at him.

Seeing that his face was tense and he looked like a ferocious beast about to break free from the cage, she couldn't help but be frightened, and then she made a bold guess in her heart.

She suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but hold the children who were eating into her arms.

"Your Majesty." Seeing the dancer getting closer and closer to the emperor, Chen Changli's heart tightened slightly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he shouted, the woman took out a long sword from her long sleeve and stabbed the emperor fiercely.

"There are assassins to protect you."

Chen Changli had sharp eyes and soon saw the sharp sword. He immediately shouted and quickly stood up and ran towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, be careful." The queen never expected that something would happen to the banquet held in the palace. She was so panicked that she hurriedly hit the assassin with something on the table.

The people around the emperor were not slow to react, and they all quickly protected the emperor behind them. They quickly resisted the menacing assassin.

The emperor himself was still stable, but as soon as he saw the assassin killing all those who were protecting him with just a few moves, his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Father, I am here to save you."

As soon as he saw Chen Changli jump out and was about to catch up with the assassin and stop her a few steps away, King Duan, who was so frightened that his heart was beating like a drum, suddenly felt that his heart dropped to a solid place.

He slowly exhaled a breath, shouted to the emperor, and then quickly ran towards the emperor.

He wanted to save the emperor in one go and completely compare the prince to the other princes.
