After three rounds of drinks, the Seventh Prince felt that the hall was too noisy and wanted to go out for a while. Yan Cheng wanted to go with him, but was held down by the Seventh Prince.
"I'm not a child. I need my brothers to accompany me when I go out for some fresh air. Besides, I'm not going out alone. Hu Fu is with me."
"Besides, this little Eleven is still here pestering you. Are you sure you want to go out with me?"
The Seventh Prince tapped his finger on the forehead of the little guy who was sitting obediently in Yan Cheng's arms. The little guy gave him a cat-like glare, and the Seventh Prince forced out a very faint smile.
Yan Cheng weighed the light-headed Eleventh Prince and was indeed a little worried about leaving him here alone. He looked at the Seventh Prince's chief eunuch and said, "Hu Fu, then you should keep an eye on my brother."
"Yes." Hu Fu quickly responded.
"I'm just going out for some fresh air. You don't have to worry too much. Have fun with Xiao Shiyi. Let's go, Hu Fu."
The Seventh Prince walked further and further away, but Yan Cheng still had a worried look in his eyes. It was only after the Eleventh Prince reminded him that he realized that he had been holding the child much tighter.
The Seventh Prince once happened to mention the incident of falling into the water in winter when he was a child, so Yan Cheng took the opportunity to ask about it.
Later, we learned that the Seventh Prince was thrown into the water when he went out for some fresh air during a New Year's Eve banquet one year.
That's right, he was thrown into the water. According to what the Seventh Prince said at the time, he didn't plan to go far. It was the eunuchs around him who betrayed him and carried him all the way to the lake and threw him into the lake.
If he had not learned to swim once in a hot spring, he would have drowned.
He didn't die later, but he fell into the water in winter and his wet body had to walk a long way before he met anyone. The Seventh Prince was just a child at the time and his body couldn't bear it.
Later, the seventh prince changed from a lively, active and talented martial arts child to a frail and sickly child.
——Now that my brother has grown up, no one will cover his mouth and carry him all the way to the lake and throw him in.
Yan Cheng could only convince and comfort himself in this way. While he was thinking about something, the eleventh prince in his arms patted his arm.
The little baby voice is so cute, "Myna, look, what a beautiful sister!"
Beautiful sister?
The sound of piano was lingering, and there was singing and dancing. Yan Cheng raised his head and saw several women with cool clothes and graceful figures dancing in the center of the hall.
The beautiful sister that the eleventh prince was referring to was the lead dancer. She had a gorgeous and exotic face, and judging from her features, she didn't look like a Daxia person.
However, there are foreign races in the north of Daxia, and children with mixed foreign blood are often born at the border. It is normal to find mixed-race dancers.
Yan Cheng was not interested in the beautiful sisters. He glanced past them indifferently and noticed that many men opposite were staring at them.
He rolled his eyes and no one noticed.
Between the man with undisguised lust in his eyes that was impossible to look at and the beautiful sister dancing gracefully, he chose to look at the beautiful sister.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the dancers who were originally in the center of the hall were dispersing with light steps, and the beautiful sister leading the dance was approaching Emperor Jingxi who was sitting at the top.
Yan Cheng suddenly smelled something strange and hugged the Eleventh Prince tightly again. This time, even with the Eleventh Prince's reminder, he did not loosen his arms.
He saw that the Ninth Prince had run behind the Third Prince at some point and was still moving forward. His destination was suspected to be Emperor Jingxi who was at the top.
"Myna, please loosen your grip a little, it hurts...Myna, why don't you just put me down?"
He tilted his head slightly and stared intently at the beautiful sister below him, who was extremely beautiful. As he watched her getting closer and closer to Emperor Jingxi, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the Ninth Prince had walked to the front.
—The eye-catching mixed-race dancer, the Emperor Jingxi who was clearly attracted to the dancer, and Qu Zhaoyue who quietly ran to the front...
——Their combination is clearly a sign that something is about to happen.
Yan Cheng suddenly noticed that there was a faint white light around the waist of the mixed-race dancer. His pupils contracted violently. His body was tense but his brain was absolutely calm.
Looking at the Ninth Prince from afar, who seemed to be about to do something, his eyes darkened.
Then he suddenly stood up from his seat, and the legs of the seat scraped roughly across the ground, making a harsh and unpleasant noise.
Such a rude action could be considered impolite in the eyes of the royal family in the room, but Yan Cheng didn't care.
The frightened Sixth Prince, who was sitting across the seat, was about to use his brother's subjective initiative to preach a few words when he saw Yan Cheng shouting in panic:
"Father, be careful! There's an assassin!"
The whole place was silent for a moment.
Then, as Yan Cheng said, all the dancers instantly transformed from beautiful women with graceful waists into ruthless assassins.
The New Year's Eve banquet, which was originally lively, joyous and full of style, suddenly turned into a vegetable market with shouts getting louder and louder.
The extremely beautiful female assassin went straight for Emperor Jingxi, but was blocked by secret guards who appeared out of nowhere.
The Ninth Prince, who was still some distance away from the throne, had a terribly gloomy expression on his face.
The eldest prince thought that he was young and was frightened by the sudden assassin, so he pulled him behind the guards out of brotherly love, and comforted him not to be afraid because the guards were there and the assassin was not a big threat.
Now that the eldest prince has said so, what can the ninth prince do?
The Ninth Prince forced a smile, but in his heart he cursed Yan Cheng for being nosy and unnecessary, ruining his plans again and again.
The eldest prince thought that the prince was frightened and didn't say anything, so he continued to be a good brother and comforted his younger brother.
His back was slapped with a loud bang. Faced with the kindness of the eldest prince, the ninth prince became even more depressed. He once again scolded Yan Cheng as a disgusting person and cursed God a few words.
Damn it, isn't he the chosen one?
How come all the well-planned things are ruined again and again by a short-lived ghost?
