After she said that, she left Su Chengjiang to struggle on the side.

Today's palace banquet was informal and everyone was chatting happily, not noticing the situation on Su Jinyue's side.

After a while, Xie Qingxu came to the seats of Su Chengjiang and Su Jinyue with a glass of wine.

"Miss Su and Mr. Su Er, why are you two here for the banquet today and Mr. Su Da is not here?"

Su Jinyue winked at Su Chengjiang next to her, but she didn't say anything.

Su Chengjiang was not too stupid. He stood up, picked up the wine glass and said, "My brother is ill and cannot attend the palace banquet, so he asked me to accompany my sister here."

His reaction was beyond Xie Qingxu's expectations.

Xie Qingxu also knew that Su Chengjiang was a simple-minded person. He had never liked Su Jinyue because of Su Zhiyao. So why would he speak for her now?

He smiled and clinked glasses with Su Chengjiang, saying, "I just find it a little strange that you would come here with Miss Su."

"What's so strange about that?"

Su Jinyue sat at the table and glanced at him, "We are brother and sister, why can't we come together?"

Xie Qingxu was upset after being criticized by Su Jinyue, and said sarcastically, "I thought it was just a rumor outside, but I didn't expect that General Xiao was really not here today. Could he really have an accident?"

"If your mouth can't speak, I can tear it off for you now!" Su Jinyue smiled with her eyes slightly bent.

Xie Qingxu was choked by Su Jinyue's words, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she still forced a smile and said, "Miss Su really loves to joke. I was just talking casually, how can you take it seriously?"

Su Chengjiang saw this and felt something was wrong, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Xie, please don't misunderstand me. I am just straightforward and my words were a little bit harsh. Please forgive me."

Surprised that Su Chengjiang had really changed and was now speaking for Su Jinyue, Xie Qingxu rolled his eyes and said, "Is Yao'er okay? I heard that she was sent to a farm in the countryside to recuperate."

"Our wedding date is coming soon. After I marry Chu Ling, I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to get married. I wonder if this will be delayed?"

When Xie Qingxu said this, his eyes were always on Su Jinyue, trying to see something from her face.

Unfortunately, when Su Jinyue heard what he said, she just lowered her eyes and ate without any reaction at all.

Su Chengjiang's expression suddenly changed, but Su Jingnian had been paying attention to Su Jinyue and did not notice anything wrong with Su Chengjiang.

"It shouldn't be a delay. Zhiyao is in poor health, and I'm afraid that if she stays in the mansion, her brother will pass on his illness to her. We can only let him go to the farm to recuperate temporarily." Su Chengjiang made an excuse.

"I see. I won't bother you anymore." Xie Qingxu bowed to Su Chengjiang, then turned and left.

At this moment, a young eunuch not far away stood on the platform, seeming to want to get closer to the food on the banquet table.

Su Jinyue was keenly aware of his abnormality and immediately reminded him softly, "Have you seen the little eunuch at the Queen's seat?"

Su Chengjiang followed Su Jinyue's gaze and noticed the suspicious little eunuch.

He nodded and said in a low voice, "I saw it. What's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with him. Pay more attention to him." Su Jinyue said.

Su Chengjiang was an impulsive person, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to catch him!"

Just as Su Chengjiang was about to take action, the music suddenly stopped and the entire banquet venue fell silent.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"

Following a loud announcement, the Emperor and Empress walked into the banquet hall surrounded by the crowd, and everyone stood up and saluted.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

After the ceremony, Su Jinyue gently pulled Su Chengjiang's sleeve and reminded him, "Don't alert the enemy. He hasn't done anything yet. If you go out now and disturb the emperor's interest, you will be punished!"

Su Chengjiang nodded to show that he understood. After everyone sat down, his eyes were fixed on the little eunuch.

After the emperor sat down, he smiled slightly, raised his glass casually and said: "Today we are all gathered together, enjoy yourself, don't be restrained."

Everyone responded in unison, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

Princess Xihe was invited to sit next to the emperor. She bowed gracefully and elegantly, attracting everyone's envious gazes.

"This princess from Western Xinjiang is truly a beauty." Some people couldn't help but admire her.

"Yes, this marriage between Xijiang and Dazhou has maintained peace between Xijiang and Dazhou, which is also a good thing." Another person agreed.

Suddenly, the suspicious little eunuch ran quickly towards the emperor's seat!

When it looked like something was about to happen, Su Chengjiang acted quickly at Su Jinyue's signal!

Before everyone could react, Su Chengjiang quickly rushed towards the platform!

The guards on the platform were about to stop him, but Su Chengjiang pointed at the young eunuch on the platform and said, "Hand over the things!"

The young eunuch was caught off guard, and in panic he still tried to take something out of his arms!

"There's an assassin!"

I don't know who shouted, but the banquet suddenly became chaotic!

The music stopped abruptly again, and the sounds of shouting and quarreling became mixed together.

"Protect His Majesty and the Queen!"

The guards quickly surrounded and separated the emperor and empress from the little eunuch and Su Chengjiang!

Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Chengjiang grabbed the young eunuch's wrist and knocked the dagger in his hand to the ground!

"You thief! How dare you still persist in your evil intentions!" Su Chengjiang shouted and pressed the young eunuch to the ground.

For a moment, the noise in the venue made people dizzy, and some people talked loudly: "There is an assassin in the palace, how daring!"

The emperor calmed himself down, held Princess Xihe in his arms, and had an angry expression on his face!

He waved his hand majestically: "Suppress him, and be sure to torture him severely. Find out the identity of this little thief, and then deal with him!"

"yes!"

Princess Xihe leaned in the emperor's arms, looking frightened and about to cry.

But when everyone's attention was on the assassin, she looked thoughtfully in the direction of Su Jinyue under the platform.

Su Jinyue had guards standing by her side when she was alive, and she seemed to be frightened as well, so she retreated to the back with the crowd.

After the person was taken away, the emperor looked at Su Chengjiang and, as expected, praised him highly.

"As expected of a descendant of a noble family, your eyesight and skills are both excellent."

Princess Xihe said softly, "Then your majesty must reward me well. I was really scared just now."

The emperor laughed, then touched Princess Xihe's chin lovingly and said, "Of course, I am here to protect you, what are you afraid of?"

Princess Xihe said, "Of course I'm worried that Your Majesty will get hurt."

The emperor protected Princess Xihe and said to them, "There is one more thing to do today. Princess Xihe is very pleasing to me. Today I will confer the title of Xifei on Princess Xihe and let her live in Yongle Palace."

The emperor's words caused an uproar in the imperial garden.

The assassination just now has not yet come to an end, but Your Majesty wants to confer a title of consort at this time, and Zi Yue is conferred the title of consort.

"Your Majesty! No!"
