Chapter 30: Canary Captured by the Enemy Emperor 17
The following days.
The palace seemed very peaceful. The Queen Mother did not look for her again, the Imperial Concubine did not come either, and the other two concubines had never appeared in front of Lin Muqing.
Those beauties didn't even dare to bump into her.
Jun Yuanming came every day, and even if he didn't sleep at her place at night, she had never heard of him having sex with anyone.
She no longer took the initiative to look for him.
Because I was too tired.
I go to bed at dawn every day.
Until half a month later.
News came from outside the palace that the imperial concubine who was returning home to visit her relatives was hit by the carriage of the Grand Marshal's son.
The horse lost control and the heavy carriage rolled right over it.
The imperial concubine vomited blood in the street, and by the time the imperial physician arrived, it was too late to save her.
The relationship between the Grand Marshal and the Left Prime Minister suddenly dropped to freezing point, and tensions were high in the court every day.
Jun Yuanming turned a blind eye. These old guys who once said they would protect his country had their bloodiness and sincerity worn away by the stable life in the imperial capital.
He just wants power, he just wants to have fun, he just wants everyone's admiration and the people's money.
He even dared to covet the chair under him.
It's not that easy.
…
More than half a month later.
A national celebration dinner.
The welcoming hall is magnificent, with eight pillars supporting the roof, each of which is engraved with a lifelike, circling golden dragon.
Ten city lords and a hundred ministers attended the event in their best attire, glasses clinked, and beauties sang and danced.
Eunuch Qin's voice suddenly rang out outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, welcome."
Everyone stood up.
Jun Yuanming strode into the hall, wearing a purple-gold dragon robe with gold-threaded cuffs and a purple-gold crown inlaid with jade on his head. He looked dignified and elegant, with three-dimensional and handsome features, and his height of over 1.9 meters gave off an oppressive feeling.
The beautiful lady who was singing and dancing wished she could glue her eyes on.
Lin Muqing and the two concubines followed and took their seats.
Lin Muqing dressed very low-key, in a light pink palace dress and only put on lip balm. She was nothing like the two concubines next to her who wore golden crowns and silver bracelets.
She didn't want to steal the spotlight, but she forgot that her face already stole the spotlight.
The two concubines wished they could get away from her and walked quickly ahead.
Seeing this, Lin Muqing thought he should walk faster, so he walked faster too.
Many eyes were cast on her, some stunning, some obsessed, some greedy, staring for a long time.
In fact, even the ministers have never met Lin Muqing.
But now I seem to understand why His Majesty favors an orphan girl.
It is so beautiful, not just skin-deep beauty, but the beauty radiating from the soul and flesh. The charm and the cool and elegant exquisite face combine to create a contradictory beauty.
"Everyone, please sit down." Jun Yuanming looked at Lin Muqing sitting two seats below him before speaking.
"I offer a toast to all of you who have come from afar."
Jun Yuanming held the wine jar between two fingers, raised it, covered his sleeves and drank it all in one gulp.
"Your Majesty!"
The ministers below also raised their glasses.
Lin Muqing secretly glanced sideways and upwards. It was the first time she saw him dressed so solemnly, with a high collar, and looking very abstinent.
Follow them and drink the wine.
Spicy top notes and mellow base notes make this a good wine.
Her eyes lit up and she was about to have another drink.
The system quickly said, "Host, you are pregnant and still want to drink such a strong drink."
Then she remembered that she was pregnant.
But I haven’t told him yet.
I could only put down my wine glass and eat the fruit out of boredom.
The ten city lords reported their names and the current situation of their capitals one by one.
A clear and rough voice echoed in the hall.
After a brief summary, beauties came to greet him with singing and dancing.
Jun Yuanming didn't look at the beauty, his remaining eyes were on the woman who was poking the fruit with her head down.
A smile was faintly visible in his eyes.
The man with a rough beard stood up and bowed respectfully: "I heard that Your Majesty loves beauties. I brought a special beauty with first-class temperament and appearance."
"I don't like it now. My dear, take it back and enjoy it slowly."
Jun Yuanming pinched a green grape and peeled it. His words were light, but they were so majestic that people subconsciously submitted to him.
"Yes." City Lord Ming was stunned, then sat down with his lips pursed.
The other city lords who wanted to offer beauties to please His Majesty did not dare to say a word.
After hearing what Jun Yuanming said, Lin Muqing looked up subconsciously, and her eyes met Jun Yuanming's inadvertent glance. She felt as if she was suddenly burned, and she quickly lowered her head.
Half an hour into the banquet, she felt like going to the bathroom.
But it's not okay to leave like this.
She gave Eunuch Qin a look and dared not be so blatant.
Eunuch Qin glanced at His Majesty before walking away.
"Eunuch Qin, I forgot to take something. Please accompany me."
She left quietly. Eunuch Qin turned back to look at His Majesty, then followed Lin Muqing out.
When we got outside the temple, the lights were bright.
"What does Lin Shuyi want?" Eunuch Qin asked in confusion.
"Going to the toilet." Lin Muqing looked around and didn't recognize the road.
"I will take the young master there."
Eunuch Qin took her nearby.
After she came out of the toilet, Eunuch Qin was gone.
Mad, no one would want to harm her, right?
The system scanned the surroundings, [Host, the secret guards sent by the male protagonist to protect you are gone, please be careful. ]
Lin Muqing answered the system in his mind: "It really seems to be a conspiracy."
[Host, you haven't used a gun for so long, do you still remember it? 】
Of course I remember, do you think I'm a fish?
The road wasn't dark either.
The lights are bright, and there is a pavilion by the stream.
System [There is someone behind the host, a palace maid. ]
Lin Muqing turned her head quickly, startling the palace maid who was following her.
"I have met Lin Shuyi. You are here. His Majesty asked me to take you back to the palace, fearing that you might get lost."
"Oh, then you lead the way."
The maid nodded and led her back the same way they came, but in the opposite direction.
Gradually we went further and further off the track.
"Where do you want to take me?" Lin Muqing directly pressed the dagger against the maid's lower back.
The maid's legs went limp all of a sudden, not daring to move, "What does Lin Shuyi want to do?"
[Host, three people at the three and five o'clock positions, two people at the seven and ten o'clock positions.]
"puff"
Lin Muqing stabbed the palace maid in the side, and the palace maid immediately screamed loudly, and a shrill sound rang out.
The crows hiding in the surrounding trees cooed and flew away.
Seeing that something was wrong, several men in black immediately showed up.
Lin Muqing chopped the palace maid unconscious, put away the dagger in his hand and replaced it with a gun.
The silenced gun took the lives of ten people in less than three seconds.
Shot between the eyebrows.
She turned and ran, but she didn't dare to run fast because she was pregnant.
Instead, she ran into a refined and noble young man, wearing official uniform and with gentle features. He seemed surprised to see her in such a remote place.
"I have met Shuyi."
Why is this person here too?
