Because Ning Xiaotang didn't show up, she looked very carefully and was sure that it was Luo Zhong.
When Ning Xiaotang moved several secret guards and maids out of the space, she immediately took out a small bottle of antidote and gave everyone a pill.
"Girl! Girl!" Ling Hu was the first to wake up.
"Be careful!" Then it was Qiu Heng.
"It's okay. You were all screaming in shock and anxiety." Ning Xiaotang stared at the people sitting on the ground with her cute little face.
"Miss, we were trapped in the rocks just now. There is no chance of survival!" Qiu Heng immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Don't worry about what methods I use. I will protect you. Follow me and go to the Camellia Party."
Entrance to the Camellia Festival
Ning Xiaotang saw that there was a royal carriage parked outside.
"Girl, this is the Queen's carriage."
Qiu Heng immediately stepped forward and stared at Ning Xiaotang.
"So Yu Zimei is actually able to get the Queen to come to this Camellia Party?"
"My dear lady, this Camellia Party was not organized by Yu Zimei herself, but by the Queen. However, the noble ladies who are to enter the venue do not have your names yet. However, Yu Zimei has written an invitation to you, so you are entering the garden as a guest."
Qiu Heng immediately took out the invitation and handed it to the person guarding outside the garden.
"Come in!" The man guarding outside the garden stared at Ning Xiaotang unhappily.
Ning Xiaotang is not from a noble family. She is from Shuihe Town. How could she come from a respectable family?
At this time, when Ning Xiaotang entered, she saw that Prince Chen was being given two maids by the Queen, and he looked unhappy.
"This humble girl pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen and to King Chen."
Queen, Qin Fengzhi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you the little girl named Tangtang who is the neighbor of Prince Chen?"
"Your Majesty, it's me!" Ning Xiaotang's blessing ceremony was also very standard, so that the Queen could not find any fault with her as soon as she entered.
But the Queen hesitated to wake him up. She just nodded and said, "You are late today. Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
Yu Zimei stared at Ning Xiaotang in surprise, feeling anxious. She had sent out all the forces in the mansion, but they still couldn't kill Ning Xiaotang?
"Reporting to Her Majesty, I encountered a landslide on the road. Fortunately, thanks to Her Majesty's grace, I miraculously escaped the disaster and now I am able to see Her Majesty!"
Ning Xiaotang's voice was very nice, soft and cute, especially the sentence "Thanks to the Queen's grace", which successfully made the Queen smile.
"Good boy, get up and take a seat!" The queen still let Ning Xiaotang take a seat.
According to the Queen's previous practice, a small family like Ning Xiaotang would probably be kicked out.
But the Queen saw that Prince Chen’s eyes were fixed on Ning Xiaotang, and as the Queen, she didn’t want to punish this little kid who was only less than two years old too obviously.
Ning Xiaotang walked to the seat next to her and sat down. Only then did she realize that the daughters of several major families in Shuihe Town were all there, including Yu Zimei who had written an invitation to Ning Xiaotang.
Yu Zimei stared at Ning Xiaotang in panic. Ning Xiaotang came back safely, but why didn't any of her people come back?
Just when Yu Zimei was extremely anxious, Luo Zhong quietly appeared beside her.
"Miss, this plan has failed."
"Are so many people useless?" Yu Zimei cursed in a low voice.
"Miss, all those men in black are dead."
Yu Zimei's eyes widened: "What's going on?"
"Ning Xiaotang seems to be protected by a master. I'm afraid my martial arts skills are no match for him."
"Could it be that person?" Yu Zimei's gaze turned to Qiu Heng who was standing next to Ning Xiaotang.
"Miss, it must be him!" Luo Zhong had no choice but to agree with Yu Zimei's analysis.
"Go and challenge him! Test his martial arts skills! If you accidentally kill him, I will have vented my anger!" Yu Zimei said hatefully.
"Yes, girl!" Luo Zhong immediately appeared in the square despite the injury on his shoulder.
"I have great respect for Qiu Heng. This time, I would like to take advantage of Qiu Heng's presence to have a duel!"
The queen smiled and said, "Yes!"
"Qiu Heng, focus on attacking Luo Zhong's left shoulder!" Ning Xiaotang also said to Qiu Heng in order to confirm whether it was Luo Zhong.
"Yes, girl!" Qiu Heng immediately took his sword and went to the competition square.
When a voice said, "The competition begins!" Luo Zhong immediately rushed forward fiercely and fought fiercely with Qiu Heng.
When Luo Zhong was fighting hard, Qiu Heng suddenly attacked and hit Luo Zhong's left shoulder.
"Ah!" Luo Zhong screamed, and his left shoulder immediately started bleeding profusely.
"Luo Zhong! Admit defeat now!" Yu Zimei shouted immediately.
"I give up!" Luo Zhong immediately shouted unwillingly.
At this time, Qiu Heng's sword happened to stop in front of Luo Zhong.
"Qiu Heng wins the competition!" The Empress immediately smiled slyly and said, "Prince Chen, I remember Qiu Heng had never been in Prince Chen's mansion. How come Qiu Heng is now under the command of this young lady?"
"Reporting to Her Majesty, this young lady is my good friend. I am relieved only when Qiu Heng protects her."
Although Ye Jingxiao was chatting with the queen, he was not polite at all. On the contrary, the queen seemed to be a little polite.
"Haha, Qiu Heng's martial arts skills have improved greatly! Reward!" The queen immediately rewarded Qiu Heng with some valuable ornaments.
"Qiu Heng thanks you for the reward!" Then Qiu Heng retreated back to Ning Xiaotang.
"Miss, how do you know that Luo Zhong has an injury on his left shoulder?" Quan Yue asked in a low voice, but Qiu Heng was also listening with his ear tilted.
"Just now, when we were facing the landslide, I injured one of the enemies with my Ice Spirit Arrow. I thought it was Luo Zhong! Now it seems that it was indeed him!"
Quan Yue was shocked: "It turned out to be Luo Zhong? Then Yu Zimei must be the mastermind behind this?"
"There's no doubt about it. Yu Zimei is probably trying to get the Queen to arrange a marriage for her. That's why she's so anxious that she wants me to disappear!"
"Cha will be particularly happy today. Prince Chen, do you know that your father is worried about your marriage?" The queen seemed unintentional, but she looked at the girls around her.
The Queen just brushed aside those powerful families and would never allow Prince Chen to have powerful in-laws.
The queen finally saw Ning Xiaotang.
Ning Xiaotang was barely two years old, so Prince Chen had to wait until she was an adult before he could welcome her into the Prince Chen's Palace.
The most important thing is that Ning Xiaotang is a little peasant girl and is definitely the safest candidate.
After a brief thought, the queen decided on Ning Xiaotang as the candidate for Princess Chen.
As long as Prince Chen gets married a few years later, the Crown Prince will have the opportunity to get married earlier and have children first.
"Empress, I am still young, so I won't talk about marriage for now!" Prince Chen glared at the Empress with displeasure.
