The fireworks banquet that Xie Qingyao had been looking forward to arrived as scheduled.
On this day, Xie Qingyao wore a light pink dress and a black cloak embroidered with gold.
She had her hair tied up in a high bun, a jade hairpin in the shape of a peony on her head, and ruby earrings on her ears.
Xie Qingyao looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was as white as snow and her lips were red. She was very satisfied with her makeup and appearance today.
Zhitao: "Madam is so beautiful!"
"Madam is dressed so extravagantly today, more noble and solemn than usual."
Ning: "It seems that Madam attaches great importance to this fireworks banquet."
Xie Qingyao pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course."
She wants to meet her enemies in a good state, believing that her enemies will be more upset when they see her doing well.
Xie Qingyao is committed to making things difficult for the enemy.
The maids thought that she was dressed up to go on a date with the Marquis happily.
How can it not be romantic for two people to watch fireworks together?
Xie Qingyao even applied some ointment before going out.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Lord Marquis." Xie Qingyao walked towards He Zheng with her eyes curved.
There were waves in He Zheng's eyes. He reached out and took Xie Qingyao's hand, and gently stroked her soft palm with his thumb.
Xie Qingyao noticed his subtle movements, smiled and asked, "Do I look good today?"
He Zheng replied, "It looks good."
Xie Qingyao: "Is it as beautiful as usual, or is it more beautiful now?"
He Zheng picked her up by the waist and carried her to the carriage, saying calmly, "They all look good. Yaoyao looks good in any outfit she wears every day."
His voice is low, giving people a serious and affectionate feeling.
Xie Qingyao's face was filled with shock, and her eyes widened.
Did He Zheng secretly learn something behind her back? Why is he speaking so pleasantly now?
Woo woo woo, she loves to hear it!
Xie Qingyao felt her heart beating faster and her face turned pink.
She hugged his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
He Zheng's cold and deep facial features softened in an instant. He put one hand around her waist and supported her head with the other.
He let her kiss him all she wanted.
"Yaoyao smells really good, just like the day Beimo surrendered."
Xie Qingyao pursed her lips: "That's different. Back then, I was already marinated by the maids from Beimo. It was so fragrant that it made me choke."
At that time, they were not married yet, and she still lied to He Zheng from Beimo that he loved her very much, and that he treasured her like a precious jade and loved her deeply.
Who would have thought that this would become true.
She never thought that one day she would be able to hug He Zheng and kiss him at will, and he would look at her so tenderly.
The next moment, He Zheng slowly approached.
After getting off the carriage, Xie Qingyao put on some lip balm and followed He Zheng in lazily.
The fireworks banquet was held in Tanyuan, and there were many places to watch the fireworks, among which the Fireworks Terrace was the most famous.
The fireworks stand is not very big, so only a small number of people can go up to the stage to watch the fireworks, and others can only watch on the open space.
Xie Qingyao and He Zheng were naturally among the invited guests and went up to the fireworks stand.
"Bang!"
The first firework rose high into the sky and exploded, dazzling the sky and illuminating it like daylight.
It was a fireworks feast that was truly astonishing.
Xie Qingyao couldn't help but say, "So beautiful."
He Zheng reached out and touched Xie Qingyao's head.
The maids and Xifeng did not go on stage. They stood in the open space, looking up at the sky.
Mo Zhu turned around and found Xi Feng looking at him.
She wondered, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Even though he was caught, Xi Feng was not panicked. "I thought you girls all like watching fireworks. Why don't you look happy at all? You still have a blank expression. Don't you like fireworks?"
Mo Zhu: "I like it."
"I'm used to having a straight face. It's a basic quality in our line of work."
Xi Feng: “…”
"All right."
"So if you like someone, you also keep quiet?"
Mo Zhu's eyes flickered, and especially when he got close, he took a small step back, "What do you care?"
But when he turned around, the corners of his lips raised in a smile.
Fool, of course not.
His expression was tense, but the love in his eyes showed.
While everyone was enjoying the fireworks, two people hid in the dark, staring intently at the stage.
It was Li Qianluan and Ming Chonglun.
Li Qianluan saw Xie Qingyao and He Zheng standing on the fireworks stage. Everything was just as she planned, and her pale face finally showed a happy smile.
Her eyes flashed with the pleasure of revenge. "Soon, very soon they will be blown to ashes and completely disappear. They will no longer be an eyesore to me."
“Cough cough cough…”
Ming Chonglun's face was full of worry. "Qianluan, you're coughing up blood. Go back and rest. I'm here."
"No." Li Qianluan endured the severe pain, "I want to watch them die in front of me with my own eyes."
"Tonight, I will kill Xie Qingyao and Marquis Anguo first. Soon, I will also take Xie Linqian's life and send him down to accompany his beautiful daughter."
"And the Xue family... I won't let them go either."
"Everyone related to Xie Qingyao must be eliminated. Eliminate them, cough cough cough..."
Ming Chonglun knew that she had lost her mind and was completely blinded by hatred, with only killing left in her mind.
"Okay, then watch them disappear one by one."
The people arranged by Ming Chonglun quietly ignited the gunpowder and then ran away quickly.
However, after waiting for a while, there was still nothing unusual on the fireworks stand, and the gunpowder was lit in vain.
"How could this happen? There's clearly a lot of gunpowder buried under the stage."
The man did not give up and tried to light it again. He heard a slight "hissing" sound and the gunpowder went out.
At this time, the man realized that something had happened!
A sense of panic washed over me.
On the other side, Li Qianluan waited for a long time, watching the fireworks end, and Xie Qingyao and He Zheng walked off the stage hand in hand.
She was trembling all over.
"No!"
Don't go! Her gunpowder hasn't exploded yet!
Her eyes were full of surprise, but more of it was anger at the failure of her plan.
"Oh no! Our plan has failed." Ming Chonglun noticed something was wrong. "We must have been discovered by Marquis Anguo and his men. Qianluan, hurry up and leave!"
"Where are you two going?"
At some point, Xi Feng had come up to the two of them, smiling meaningfully.
Li Qianluan couldn't believe it. She was so angry that she vomited blood. "How did you find out?"
Xi Feng: "Ever since you planned to escape from the cold palace, our people have been keeping an eye on you."
"Every move you make is under the control of the Lord and the Madam."
The overwhelming anger pushed Li Qianluan to the brink of despair.
It turned out that everything she did was in vain.
Li Qianluan felt a piercing pain.
"Xie Qingyao, you will not die well!"
As soon as he said this, he was hit hard on the neck and Li Qianluan fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the dungeon.
The air was filled with the smell of dampness and corruption.
A green figure entered Li Qianluan's eyes.
"Xie Linqian!" Li Qianluan roared.
Xie Linqian said coldly, "Do you want to know the truth behind the Second Prince's death?"
