Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince
Chapter 222 Assassin
The emperor's birthday is approaching, and the entire palace is filled with a festive yet tense atmosphere.
Concubine Jing was fully responsible for organizing this extremely significant Qianqiu Banquet.
Ever since the Emperor granted Concubine Jing the power to manage the six palaces, the originally peaceful and harmonious Jingxian Palace could never return to its former tranquility.
The concubines in the palace seemed to have sensed a certain wind direction. They would always go to Jingxian Palace to present carefully prepared gifts to win the favor and attention of Concubine Jing, no matter if they had something to do or not.
After all, in this deep palace, it is undoubtedly crucial to establish good relationships with people who hold great power.
However, what is somewhat surprising is that the emperor has not set foot in the harem for a long time.
Except for occasionally stopping by Concubine Jing's bedroom to play with the Ninth Prince for a while, he spent most of his time buried in the mountains of memorials in the imperial study.
Concubine Jing was a sensitive and attentive person. Through observing the emperor's recent physical condition and behavior, she gradually realized that the emperor's body was not as strong as before.
Whenever the Emperor came to Jingxian Palace, Concubine Jing would always accompany him silently, never saying a word, for fear of disturbing the Emperor.
At the same time, despite the complexity of the affairs, she was still able to handle all the affairs in the palace in an orderly and orderly manner.
Perhaps it was because of the painful lesson of Concubine Mei who was neglected or even exiled for her excessive competition for favor, that the concubines in the harem have become cautious now, and no one dares to easily run to the emperor to show off their charm and ask for credit and reward.
Everyone knows that in this sensitive period, if one is not careful, one may end up following in the footsteps of Concubine Mei and end up with a miserable fate.
As a result, the entire harem temporarily presented a delicate situation that seemed calm but had undercurrents.
Concubine Zheng is now huddled in her palace like a frightened quail.
Looking back on the past, she was so glorious that even the queen had to be courteous to her.
In this huge harem, she should be the most qualified to hold power over the six palaces.
However, surprisingly, she had no interest in this. She neither fought for the supreme power nor felt jealous.
Now, her only wish every day is that the emperor would completely forget her and never think of her existence again.
But as the saying goes, "What you fear is what will come to you."
On the emperor's birthday, the entire palace was decorated with lights and was filled with joy. Civil and military officials all came to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
This long-silent imperial palace finally welcomed back the long-lost bustling scene.
Not only that, today even the ladies inside and outside the palace were invited to witness this celebration together.
The once prominent Zhengguo Mansion is now extremely low-key, as if it is afraid of attracting anyone's attention.
Emperor Rong Sheng sat on the dragon throne, his face slightly pale, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue, he looked listless and in poor mental state.
Concubine Jing was serving on the side, and she keenly noticed that the emperor seemed to have no interest in this birthday banquet.
As the troupe's performance gradually came to an end, Concubine Jing sighed inwardly and prepared to announce the end of the banquet.
However, at this moment, a dramatic scene happened.
Just when the actors on the stage were performing the most exciting scene, a cold light suddenly flashed across everyone's sight.
Looking closely, he saw an extremely sharp dagger rushing towards the emperor like lightning.
It happened in a flash. When the dagger was only inches away from the emperor, Jiang He, who was standing not far from the emperor, was quick-witted and quick-handed. He waved his sleeves suddenly, and the dagger was instantly knocked to the ground by the powerful force.
The assassin missed his target with one strike, but showed no sign of retreating.
He flashed and quickly attacked Emperor Rong Sheng again, this time he actually swung his fist at him.
From his movements and momentum, it can be seen that this assassin is obviously a martial artist with extraordinary skills.
Wang Defu's face changed drastically when he saw this. He shouted without hesitation, "Protect the emperor!"
Then, he rushed towards the emperor without hesitation, apparently intending to use his body to withstand the fatal punch.
"Get out of the way!" At the critical moment, all that was heard was Lin Muheng's angry shout.
Before he finished his words, he had already flown in like a ghost, and at the same time slapped out a fierce palm wind, colliding fiercely with the assassin.
There was a loud bang, like thunderclaps from the blue sky, deafening. The huge impact made both of them retreat backwards, and they retreated dozens of meters before they could barely stabilize their bodies.
Seeing this, Jiang He wondered if he would let go of such a good opportunity. He rushed forward and threw a punch at the assassin.
At this moment, the assassin had just fought a hard battle with Lin Muheng, and most of his internal energy had been consumed.
Faced with Jiang He's sudden punch, he was completely unable to resist.
"Capture him alive!" Emperor Rong Sheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke and gave the order in a deep voice.
As the emperor's order was issued, the guards present rushed forward as if awakened from a dream and surrounded the assassin.
The originally lively and bustling Wanshou Banquet was now plunged into chaos.
The ministers and the women were all so frightened that they turned pale and trembled all over.
None of them had expected that they would encounter such a thrilling and life-threatening scene when attending a birthday party.
This magnificent and majestic palace should have been impregnable, but now it makes people feel so unsafe!
Thinking back to the thrilling scene last time, it still makes people feel scared - Lin Mupo was so bold as to rebel and almost put the entire palace into an irretrievable situation.
And what exactly happened this time?
The assassin saw that the situation was not good and knew that there was no possibility of escape, so he tried to bite the poison hidden in his mouth and commit suicide.
In a flash, Lin Muheng, who was standing by, was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He instantly removed the assassin's jaw, preventing him from succeeding.
In an instant, all the members of the originally lively troupe were frightened to the point that their faces turned pale as paper and their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.
These poor people could not understand why a vicious assassin took the opportunity to sneak in when they were just taking part in an ordinary performance in the palace.
Look at the skills and abilities displayed by this assassin, they can be compared with those powerful princes!
I really don't know what kind of huge conspiracy is hidden behind it...
