I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way, Auntie."

"Palace Master, you are embarrassing me."

The head maid took Qiao Linxi to the side hall and explained as they walked: "Princess, don't worry. This side hall is full of toiletries for the ladies who come to the palace banquet. The ones used by the court officials are on the other side of the main hall, not on the same road. And there are guards and maids guarding them, so nothing will go wrong."

Qiao Linxi chuckled and didn't say anything.

The head maid sighed and continued, "It's not that I'm being nosy, it's just that the chances of something going wrong at a palace banquet are too high. It's usually quite peaceful, but when it comes to a palace banquet, all kinds of monsters and demons come out. If something goes wrong and the master gets angry, we, the servants, will suffer."

Qiao Linxi deeply agreed with this statement.

"Okay, you two should take the princess to get ready, and then send her to the front prince without any mistakes."

The senior palace maid took Qiao Linxi to a side hall and told two young palace maids to take good care of her before leaving.

Entering the side hall, there was not only hot water, but also some rouge, powder and a dressing mirror.

Qiao Linxi touched her wet back and sighed, wondering who would arrange a lover for her.

This is really a one-trick pony that works everywhere. Since ancient times, the most common tactic in palace fighting dramas is to use drugs to destroy people's reputations. It's old-fashioned and tacky, but it's the most effective.

Even if Qiao Linxi didn't care about her reputation, she still had to be on guard. People in this era valued their reputation more than their lives, and losing their reputation was equivalent to a direct death sentence.

I just don’t know which innocent person will be implicated this time.

Qiao Linxi had been on guard against these two palace maids doing something bad, but until she had tidied her clothes and was about to leave the side hall, there was no movement.

Just when Qiao Linxi thought the system had made a wrong judgment, the system's voice rang again.

【Please note that the enemy will arrive at the battlefield in ten seconds.】

Qiao Linxi: ...

The enemy? Where?

Everything is normal?

The two palace maids took Qiao Linxi to the front hall. When they were about to reach the bright place, two dark shadows suddenly jumped out from the flowers next to them, covered the mouths of the two palace maids and dragged them into the flowers.

Before Qiao Linxi and the others could react, she felt someone hit her on the back of the head. She covered the back of her head and turned around, but was hit again, knocking her unconscious.

Then, she was dragged into darkness.

"Ah!! Who are you? Let me go."

A scream was heard in the Imperial Garden. The young ladies were frightened and dared not move. However, the young men walked towards the darkness in groups of two or three.

The palace guards also ran over here quickly.

The scream was not loud at first, but the running guards still made quite a noise.

The guards quickly arrived at the dark corner and saw several dark shadows struggling. They immediately drew their swords and stabbed at the shadows.

The young masters who arrived later also saw what was happening. Two men in black grabbed two palace maids and were about to do something indecent.

Seeing so many people coming, the two men decisively abandoned the palace maid and fled into a darker place. The guards chased after them.

The two palace maids looked at the guards going away and turned back in shock. When they turned back, they were shocked again.

"Where's the princess? The princess is gone!"

"Oh no! That thief must be targeting Princess Dingguo."

"Quick, hurry and save the princess. She was just following me to the front hall. She must have been taken away by that thief."

The two palace maids were startled and felt that their lives were in danger. They did not even bother to tidy up their messy clothes and hurriedly chased after the guards.

The noise here soon reached the ears of the emperor, who was now angry at the Sixth Prince.

"waste!!"

The reason was simple. After returning from the banquet, the emperor asked Xiao Ji again how Qiao Linxi got the Qiankun Ding.

When he heard that Qiao Linxi dripped blood on the Qiankun Ding, which made the Qiankun Ding recognize Qiao Linxi as its master, he became furious again.

"It was obviously you who entered the cave first, so you couldn't get the Qiankun Cauldron first?"

Xiao Ji was kneeling on the ground, blood oozing from his forehead. It was the emperor who hit him with a teacup.

He didn't dare to wipe it off, but just kept admitting his mistakes and begging for forgiveness from the emperor.

"You! You're really going to piss me off to death!"

The emperor was really angry. If the Qiankun Ding was obtained by Xiao Ji at that time, the Dragon God would also possess Xiao Ji, and he could directly make Xiao Ji the crown prince.

Although Qiao Linxi was given the honorific title of Princess Dingguo to win her over, it was not as safe as having one of her own holding this thing.

Gu Changfeng stood by holding a whisk and watched the show. He didn't say anything to persuade them, just watched.

"Your Majesty, the palace guards came to report that there were thieves in the palace and Princess Dingguo was taken away."

Gu Changfeng, who had half-closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this.

The emperor was also stunned, then kicked Xiao Ji and said, "I'll deal with you later."

After saying this, he went out and told Gu Changfeng: "It must be the Dongyue people who are causing trouble. They want to get the Qiankun Ding."

Gu Changfeng looked at the emperor's back with a sharp look in his eyes and said, "That may not be the case."

The emperor turned around and looked at Gu Changfeng: "Do you know who it is?"

"How would a servant know? Just check and you'll know."

The emperor looked at Gu Changfeng with a look of anticipation, and jokingly asked, "Aren't you worried?"

"I'm sure your Majesty is more worried than I am?"

The emperor kicked Gu Changfeng again: "Just tell the truth."

The emperor was indeed worried. If Qiao Linxi fell into the hands of the Dongyue people, it would be dangerous. Although the Qiankun Ding recognized its master, who knew what crooked ways the Dongyue people would use to deal with Qiao Linxi? What if they took the Qiankun Ding away and opened it to use?

Dai Viet and Dong Viet have already torn their relations apart. If a war breaks out, Dai Viet, without this magical weapon, will probably not be a match for Dong Viet.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, all the court officials and ladies did not leave, and were waiting for the result.

Originally, only the young men and women in the Imperial Garden knew that Qiao Linxi had been abducted. All the guards went out to search for her, making a huge commotion, and thus everyone knew about it.

Old Mrs. Qiao sat in her seat with a gloomy face. She really didn't understand why Qiao Linxi would cause so many troubles?

"Don't worry, Madam Qiao. The palace guards are the most elite and will definitely bring the princess back safely."

The emperor also came to the main hall and ordered all the guards to go out and rescue the princess.

Within a cup of tea, a guard came to report that they had found it.

"Then bring the princess back quickly..."

The guard hesitated and did not say where Qiao Linxi was.

"Tell me, where is the princess..."

The guard knelt down with a plop when the emperor put pressure on him, and said, "The princess and the grandson of the Minister of War are in Chaoxia Palace, in... in..."
