Shu Fei was shocked at once.
She thought about how the Shu family was destroyed because of her mistake. That scene was simply too horrifying.
At the same time, she also knew that if her Shu family chose to support Xiao Liang at all costs, and the emperor noticed it, he would definitely tell her and Wen Huan about it, and the Shu family would also be ruined.
This man is kind of smart.
Before, she entered the palace, hoping to protect the Shu family and win the emperor's favor.
Now that she thought about it, it turned out that the emperor had already seen through her little thoughts.
Shu Fei knew that she had no way out. She thought about it, but of course she couldn't figure it out. After all, she had a straightforward mind. She could think clearly about ordinary things, but she was completely confused about bigger things.
However, it was obvious that the request made by the emperor was very tempting, so Shu Fei nodded.
"As long as I can quickly resolve what Your Highness asked for, won't I be able to have the life I want sooner?" Shu Fei slowly raised her eyes and asked softly.
The emperor had already said everything he needed to say, so he didn't seem to want to waste time on Shu Fei anymore. He nodded and said to Shu Fei, "You don't have much time left. You have to work hard."
Shu Fei gritted her teeth as the sedan chair swayed through the busy streets of the capital, then through a forest, and finally arrived at the palace.
This piece of woods is a peach orchard. Next to the peach orchard is the moat of the imperial palace. Peach trees are lined up in rows beside the moat, and there are also willow trees on the side. They are densely packed and lush, which looks very pleasant.
There were many pedestrians on this road, some delivering food and cloth to the palace, some visiting relatives, and even ministers attending court early in the morning.
After the emperor discussed with Concubine Shu, he closed his eyes.
Qiao Yuange originally thought that the emperor would sit there obediently, but he seemed to deliberately anger Shu Fei and still put his head on Qiao Yuange's shoulder.
It even rubbed against him comfortably, like a big cat acting coquettishly.
Qiao Yuange watched Shu Fei turn her gaze away from them with resentment and look away.
Qiao Yuange quickly reached out, lifted the emperor's head and pushed it aside.
But the emperor seemed to be teasing Qiao Yuange on purpose. The more Qiao Yuange pushed the emperor's head away, the more he shamelessly came up to him.
Just when the two were having fun here, they saw the sedan suddenly stop, and then a strange atmosphere seemed to appear around.
Qiao Yuange stretched out his hand and was about to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, but the emperor stretched out his hand to hold Qiao Yuange's hand down, and his slender fingers made a gesture of silencing.
Although Shu Fei was in a bad mood, she immediately understood what had happened. She opened the curtain a little and looked outside.
As she made this movement, she heard a sound of breaking air, and an arrow shot towards her. Shu Fei stretched out her hand to block it, but the emperor turned his head to the side, and the arrow immediately hit the inner wall of the sedan and penetrated deeply into her.
No one in the sedan chair spoke. It was obvious that the other party knew clearly who the people in the sedan chair were, and they didn't even want to leave them alive.
Someone is trying to assassinate!
The emperor held his breath, then slowly reached out his hand and gently pulled Qiao Yuange towards him.
Although Qiao Yuange was afraid, he had experienced it once before, so he remained calm even though he had no weapons.
Shu Fei had long forgotten the awkwardness of getting along with the emperor before, and mouthed to the emperor: "Would you like me to go down and take a look?"
The emperor shook his head silently.
There was complete silence all around, but there were some rustling sounds nearby. Qiao Yuange was really curious about what was going on outside.
However, the Emperor and Concubine Shi Shu did not take any action, so Qiao Yuange naturally had no other options. He could only sit there, feeling uncomfortable as if his whole body was covered with thorns.
But this silence was short-lived.
Then there was the sound of a sharp whistle, and there were sounds of people flying around, fighting with each other, and then there was the sound of various weapons mixed together.
In the extremely quiet space, the sounds of shouting and fighting suddenly appeared, which instantly lifted people's emotions.
The emperor sat there from beginning to end with a very calm expression on his face. He listened attentively to the news outside and made sure that the sounds of killing and shouting around him gradually disappeared within a short period of time. Then a man reached out his hand and wanted to lift the curtain of the sedan chair.
Qiao Yuange frowned. The emperor reached out and grabbed Qiao Yuange's shoulder, exerting a little force and still holding her behind him, fearing that she would be in danger.
Shu Fei also took the teapot on the table in her hand.
Although her IQ is not very high, her fighting power is still reassuring. At this moment, her movements are quite calm and she does not need anyone's protection at all.
In an instant, the hand rose up, revealing Fengming's face.
His face was calm and composed, without even a scratch, though the sword in his hand was stained with blood.
After paying his respects to the emperor, he said, "Your Highness is frightened. The matter has been dealt with outside."
The emperor nodded and asked, "How is Li Xiaoxiao?"
At this moment, Li Xixi's voice came from far away. He came over, wiped his face, and then said with a spit: "Your Highness, I am fine. Do these bastards really think they can catch me? They wish! I didn't expect that this old slave's knife is not old!"
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted wider, and the emperor relaxed when he saw that there was no danger outside. It was obvious that he had become accustomed to the current situation.
Qiao Yuange also took this opportunity to look outside.
They saw several corpses wearing black clothes on the road they were passing. These corpses had their faces covered and it was obvious that they came prepared.
Qiao Yuange recognized it immediately. These people were the ones who tried to assassinate the emperor after he got drunk in the palace.
These people have become so arrogant, and no one is doing anything about it?
And this is the second time it has happened, why does the emperor act like nothing happened?
The emperor calmed down and said to Fengming, "It's time to go back to the palace."
Fengming was stunned at first, as if he had not expected that the emperor did not care about this matter at all. He reacted in an instant, nodded to the people around him, and the sedan chair started again.
Qiao Yuange and Shu Fei both turned to look at the emperor.
The emperor seemed to have realized that these two people were looking at him, and immediately said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"
