Xu Jinyi was so angry that she almost laughed. This man actually dared to set his sights on her.
He plotted against her behind her back, and now he even wants to sleep with her.
"Your Majesty, we have a long time to go. I heard that there are lanterns being lit today, and it's quite lively. I was planning to go out of the palace to light lanterns and pray for the emperor."
"Also, I have arranged for Lady Xi to sleep with me tonight."
The emperor immediately thought of Concubine Xi, her enchanting figure, her bloody erotic dance, and her many fancy kung fu skills.
Every time she dragged him to bed, he still felt very happy.
Thinking of the passionate little goblin, the emperor didn't mention the matter again.
Instead, she asked about what her brother did in the military camp.
"Oh, you said that my brother explained that to me. Your Majesty, the person you are looking for must have some ability. You let my brother promote a fool. How many people have looked down on him?"
"Once you have a good candidate, don't worry, my brother will definitely help."
After hearing this, the emperor felt relieved. As long as they didn't have any objections to him, everything would be fine.
Xu Jinyi did not have anyone following her after she left the palace. She was going to meet the Regent tonight, so how could she have anyone following her?
There are a lot of people walking on the street because the Ghost Festival is in two days, so the streets are lined with small stalls and vendors are enthusiastically soliciting customers.
Xu Jinyi's face was so outstanding that everyone's eyes lingered on her.
To avoid trouble, Xu Jinyi bought a small fox mask and put it on.
After buying another lantern, Xu Jinyi walked forward as if aimlessly.
Xiao Jing was dressed in black and stood with his hands behind his back. He was tall and straight, as handsome as a pine or cypress.
Despite the crowd, his presence was like a ray of light that could not be ignored.
The noble aura and arrogance that emanated from his body made people feel intimidated and dared not approach him.
This leaves a quiet area on the crowded street.
The reason why Xu Jinyi came here was because in his previous life, the Regent was assassinated at Yuehu Lake today, resulting in serious injuries and coma for a long time.
Because of this assassination, the emperor began to erode the power of the regent.
In the previous life, they had the help of their Xu family, so after the Regent recovered, most of the people in the court had turned to the dog emperor.
And she would never allow such a thing to happen in this life.
She wanted to help the Regent escape this disaster. As long as he was fine, the dog emperor would not be able to turn over.
However, Xu Jinyi only knew that the Regent would be assassinated tonight, but he didn't know the approximate time, so he quickened his pace towards Yuehu Lake.
But there were so many people that they were almost walking on my back.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye and noticing that the road ahead was becoming more empty, Xu Jinyi walked faster, fearing that he would be late.
"Guess the lantern riddles! If you guess three of them correctly, you can exchange them for a lantern. It doesn't cost a penny to get a lantern. Guess the lantern riddles!"
Suddenly the scene became more lively. Xu Jinyi, who was wearing a mask, tripped by someone and fell forward.
Xiao Jing frowned and was about to leave when a red figure rushed over and hugged him around the waist.
A refreshing fragrance wafts into my nose, it smells really pleasant.
"I'm sorry, did I bump into you?"
Xu Jinyi looked up, their eyes met, and he blinked at the slender figure in front of him.
This is good luck! I actually encountered it.
Xu Jinyi stood up with the help of his big hand and apologized again.
The warmth from his arm made Xiao Jing's eyes flicker slightly. The woman in front of him was wearing a fox mask, so his face could not be seen clearly.
But those exposed almond-shaped eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, so beautiful.
One can't help but want to peek at the face under the mask, and the beautiful figure matches the fox mask very well.
It was the first time that Xiao Jing was so close to a woman, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
Because of his physical defects, he never allowed any woman to be around him, even a maid.
After apologizing, Xu Jinyi turned around and disappeared into the crowd, walking towards Yuehu Lake.
The Regent is a very cautious person. If she shows too much, it will seem very deliberate.
It was good to know that the Regent was on the street. Since he was assassinated at Moon Lake anyway, why didn't she go straight to the finish line and wait for him?
I originally wanted to put up a lantern, but the lantern just now was broken.
Xu Jinyi thought the Kongming lantern was interesting, so she bought one and released it while standing under the bridge.
There are not many people under the bridge because Yuehu Lake is the end point. Those who have bought lanterns will go to the river to release them, and finally the lanterns will float here with the water.
Since there weren't many people in Yuehu Lake, Xu Jinyi simply took off his mask.
Watching the Kongming lantern rise, a smile appeared on Xu Jinyi's face.
Xiao Jing happened to be standing on the bridge and saw the Kongming lantern rising in front of him.
"I wish to live freely and live up to my youth"
These words made Xiao Jing look towards the bottom of the bridge. The woman's beautiful face came into view. Her small face, the size of a palm, was extremely beautiful.
The girl has black hair like a waterfall, skin like jade, and her eyes are charming, just like a peony bud about to bloom. She is charming but not vulgar, gorgeous but not coquettish, and charming and incomparable.
Xiao Jing's breathing stagnated!
This is what she looks like under the mask, and she really matches the little fox.
Xu Jinyi was suddenly dazzled by a flash of light, but when he looked over he saw nothing.
After reacting, Xu Jinyi looked around and finally saw Xiao Jing on the bridge.
The sound of arrows flying was heard.
Arrows shining with cold light and filled with murderous aura came shooting towards us like a gust of wind and rain.
The originally peaceful Moon Lake suddenly became chaotic, and the people fled in all directions.
Dense arrows shot towards Xiao Jing, and the secret guards in the dark appeared to protect Xiao Jing.
“Kill him!!”
After several rounds of arrows, with an order from the dark, more than a dozen men in black jumped out from the calm lake.
Dozens of assassins jumped out from the darkness around them.
Xiao Jing remained calm and drew his sword to face the killers.
As the secret guards around him fell one by one, Xiao Jing's face turned cold and he attacked even faster.
There are a lot of assassins, and even if these secret guards can fight ten of them at once, it will be difficult for them to break through.
The secret guards tried desperately to carve out a bloody path for Xiao Jing but failed.
No matter how good Xiao Jing's kung fu was, he could not defeat four people. He focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him. By the time he felt the sword stabbing at his back, it was too late to dodge.
He reluctantly turned his body to avoid the vital points and tried to bear the sword, but Xu Jinyi under the bridge finally dealt with the assassin who jumped out of the lake and flew over.
The soft sword directly knocked the sword out of the assassin's hand, and then he cut the assassin's neck with his backhand.
He didn't look at Xiao Jing's confused expression, but quickly dealt with the assassin who rushed over.
Nor did he see the glint of admiration in Xiao Jing's eyes.
Xu Jinyi knew that in his previous life, Xiao Jing had fallen flat on his face here, so tonight's assassination would definitely be very dangerous.
But no one expected that the emperor and Duke Liu would invest so much.
