Two days passed.
The calmness was unbelievable.
When Chu Ci had nothing to do, he would take a walk in the mountains and forests with Xiao Qi.
My health is gradually improving.
On the last day, the empress came out of the inner temple and held a banquet to entertain the court officials who had followed her.
After the banquet, you can return to the imperial capital.
At Linshan Temple, the banquet naturally serves vegetarian dishes.
Chu Ci only met his mother in this body when he went to court. They rarely spoke in private. Memorials and the like were sent to the Crown Princess's residence for review.
It can be said that the mother and daughter do not understand each other.
The empress is old, but she has been well maintained and looks quite majestic and not very old.
But many people know that this is just an illusion. The empress has been obsessed with all kinds of things over the years. She also knows that she is old, so she takes all kinds of tonics or believes in the folk remedies and herbs of some Taoist priests.
But how can one do whatever he wants at this age?
It only looks bright and beautiful now, but in fact it is already empty inside.
Chu Ci was in poor health and did not join the court officials in drinking. He just held the teacup and sipped it in small sips.
Xiao Qi was sitting not far from Chu Ci, and opposite Chu Ci were the mother and son of the Hu family.
Hu Xun had already figured it out and was a little more respectful towards Xiao Qi, but the malice in Hu Tianhao's eyes was very obvious.
Although Chu Ci had no impression of Hu Tianhao.
I just said a few words to Xiaoqi when I first met him.
I didn't bother to pay attention to his gaze.
Halfway through the banquet, something strange happened.
Chu Ci sensed a strange aura behind her, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips, put down the teacup in her hand, and slightly tilted her body.
A small arrow flew over from nowhere.
Towards Chu Ci's head.
Originally, Chu Ci could have easily avoided it.
However, Xiao Qi, who had been keeping an eye on Chu Ci, made a bigger move. He swung the wine glass in his hand and directly knocked the arrow that was about to hit Chu Ci's face aside.
Half of it was stuck in the ground, the arrow head was black, and it was obviously full of murderous intent.
Xiao Qi stood up and wanted to come over.
The surroundings were quiet for a few seconds, and then chaos suddenly broke out.
"Assassin, catch the assassin!!"
"Protect His Majesty! Protect Him!"
The surroundings suddenly became chaotic, disrupting Xiaoqi's movements.
Let Xiaoqi be a step late.
Chu Ci stood up and stepped back. At this moment, several masked men appeared from the side.
Holding swords in their hands, they looked at each other and attacked Chu Ci.
She was obviously the target.
Feng You beside him has already met the situation at this moment.
Chu Ci lowered her eyes, a trace of thought flashing across her eyes.
Hu Tianhao on the other side also stood up, his eyes following Chu Ci's figure.
Seeing someone approaching Chu Ci, he wanted to walk towards Chu Ci.
But it was obviously too late. Xiao Qi had already rushed up, holding a soft sword in his hand. He grabbed Chu Ci's waist and pulled Chu Ci into his arms.
The sword in his hand pierced deeply into the assassin's shoulder.
There were not many assassins, and the situation was quickly brought under control.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Hu Tianhao pursed his lips, saw this scene, and walked up quickly and asked.
But Chu Ci shook her head, replied to him casually, and without even looking at him, raised her hand and pinched Xiao Qi's cheek.
After asking a few questions, he took Xiaoqi to see the controlled assassin.
Hu Tianhao was pulled back a few steps by Hu Xun.
Hu Xun signaled him to go back first with her eyes.
