Qiao Ziming had noticed before that Su Muxi's features were actually very beautiful. If you only looked at the half of her face without the birthmark, he would even be somewhat infatuated with her.

Now that the birthmark on Su Muxi's face has completely disappeared, he dares not imagine how beautiful she will be.

Is she as beautiful as Xie Xuan and Wei Yichen depicted in their paintings, like a celestial being?

Therefore, Xie Xuan and Wei Yichen knew beforehand that Su Muxi's birthmark could be removed, and Ye Zeyu also knew this.

He was the only one kept in the dark…

Just as McQueen was about to help Zhong Bin close the door quickly, he saw Su Muxi remove her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Standing outside the door, Qiao Ziming saw Su Muxi's face clearly through the gradually narrowing crack in the door. Even after the Su family's door was completely closed, he was still not able to recover from Su Muxi's beauty.

Looking at Su Muxi, who had put her veil back on, Mai Kun tentatively asked on behalf of his prince, "Your Highness, why did you take off your veil to let him see you?"

Su Muxi laughed and said, "Didn't he say he regretted it? Then I'll make him regret it even more."

She had heard the rumors about her. She couldn't wear a veil forever, so Qiao Ziming would see her sooner or later.

Since we're going to see it sooner or later, we might as well let Qiao Ziming see it sooner.

This will make him regret it for a few more days.

McQueen was finally relieved to hear this.

But Zhang Tong, who was in the palace, was filled with tension and worry.

She thought that once the Empress's side was secure, she would definitely be given more people to protect her. However, to her surprise, the people originally sent to protect her left early this morning.

She went to the Empress to ask for clarification, but the Empress refused to see her.

So where exactly did things go wrong?

If the Empress is unwilling to protect her, then she will have no choice but to go to that old man Ye Jingchun.

But she feared that Ye Jingchun wouldn't be satisfied with what she knew; he also wanted her as a person.

She's not into older men; even though Ye Jingchun is well-maintained, she just can't bring herself to like him.

But she didn't have much time to hesitate now. Ye Ziyu hadn't been able to harm her last night because the people the Empress had sent to protect her hadn't left yet. But if no one was protecting her tonight, she feared she would not escape death.

Perhaps Ye Ziyu will come to kill her before nightfall...

Seriously!

Why can't she shake her habit of liking handsome men?

If she hadn't provoked Ye Zeyu, things wouldn't be in this situation now!

"ah!"

Lost in thought, Zhang Tong didn't pay attention to her footing and tripped over a stone, causing her to fall forward.

Just when she thought she was going to fall flat on her face, a pair of strong hands grabbed her arm and pulled her into a broad and firm embrace.

Are you alright?

Upon hearing the magnetic male voice, Zhang Tong instinctively looked up.

Upon seeing his handsome face, she began to feel infatuated again.

With deep-set eyes and a straight nose, he has a somewhat mixed-race look.

Most importantly, this surge of hormones made her heart race uncontrollably.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Tong asked blankly, showing no intention of leaving the other person's embrace.

Seeing the infatuation in Zhang Tong's eyes, Murong Tian felt smug and slightly curled the corners of his mouth. He said in a deep voice, "I am Murong Tian, ​​the sixth prince of Northern Yan."

As he spoke, he not only didn't let go of Zhang Tong, but also took the opportunity to put his other hand around Zhang Tong's slender waist and gently pinched it.

Oh!

Even the women of the Emperor of Qi are nothing special!

Seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs nearby were unsure whether they should speak up and remind the others. After hesitating for a moment, they simply lowered their heads and pretended not to have seen what was happening.

The pinch Zhang Tong received from Murong Tian made her body go weak, but it also rekindled her confidence.

She said that as a transmigrated woman, she was the most special existence in this world, and all the handsome men who saw her would fall for her.

Although the current sixth prince of Northern Yan is not as handsome as Ye Zeyu, he is not much different, and at least much better than that old man Ye Jingchun.

After making a comparison in her mind, Zhang Tong made a decision.

"Sixth Prince, I have something I wish to discuss with you. Would you mind speaking to me in private?"

Although she knew it was inappropriate for her to say these things to Murong Tian in public in the Imperial Garden, she was not afraid if she could persuade Murong Tian to take her away.

After all, the situation is urgent, and there's no time for her to plan slowly.

Murong Tian felt contempt, thinking that the women of Qi were truly despicable!

Bai Mengying is one, and so is this self-righteous woman in front of me!

However, he was very curious about what the Qi emperor's woman would say to him.

“Alright, I’m not familiar with this place, so please find a secluded spot for us to talk in detail.”

Murong Tian spoke ambiguously, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

But Zhang Tong was so focused on getting Murong Tian to take her away that she didn't notice the look in Murong Tian's eyes.

Instead, she smiled shyly and pulled Murong Tian towards the back of a rockery.

"Let's go over there~~"

...

Ye Jingchun said he would host a lunch banquet, so after the morning court session, civil and military officials who did not have urgent official business to attend to did not leave but stayed in the palace.

A young eunuch came to pour tea. As he poured tea for Ye Zeyu, a note slipped quietly from his sleeve and was caught by Ye Zeyu without him noticing.

A moment later, Ye Zeyu went to the outhouse. After seeing the words on the note, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

Zhang Tong actually went to Murong Tian!

Is this an attempt to collude with the enemy?!

That's incredibly audacious!

How could General Zhang have given birth to such a stupid and lowly daughter!

If Zhang Tong can accomplish everything he previously suggested and inform Northern Yan, then the State of Qi will be in grave danger!

Thinking of this, Ye Zeyu hurriedly walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace.

The current situation cannot be resolved in secret; Zhang Tong must be eliminated as soon as possible!

Zhang Tong was in the inner palace, so it was inconvenient for him to take action, but the Empress Dowager had been in the inner palace for many years and could directly kill Zhang Tong.

Especially since Zhang Tong now intends to collude with the enemy and betray the country, he has a valid reason and should be killed!

The Empress Dowager was both surprised and angry after hearing what Ye Zeyu said.

I never expected that Zhang Cairen, who seemed so well-behaved, was such a dishonest person!

"Don't worry, Yu'er. If Consort Zhang really intends to collude with the enemy and betray the country, I will be the first to punish her!"

"Guards! Bring Consort Zhang here to me!"

The Empress Dowager has already believed what Ye Zeyu said.

Zhang Cairen's father and Yu'er had some connection, and Zhang Cairen had never done anything to harm Yu'er, so it was impossible for Yu'er to fabricate such a huge lie.

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the stronger her murderous intent became. Just as she was anxiously waiting, she heard a commotion outside.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, the palace is on fire!"

"Which palace is the source of the water?"

"Your Majesty, it seems to be Zhang Cairen's palace..."
