Chapter 294 The Emperor is Assassinated
As she spoke, Qu Yanran slowly raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jingheng shyly.
Her eyes are flowing and charming as silk.
Not to mention Xiao Jingheng, even the woman, Concubine Yao, was stunning.
After she came to her senses after a while, she cursed her in her heart as a vixen.
But Xiao Jingheng admired Qu Yanran very much.
"You sang this song very well. I can tell you put a lot of effort into it."
Qu Yanran smiled shyly and said, "I don't know anything. I just sang a song. I was blessed by heaven and was fortunate enough to be heard by the emperor."
The wind on the lake gradually grew stronger, the air became more humid, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
Xiao Jingheng glanced at the dark clouds in the sky and said to Qu Yanran casually:
"It looks like it's going to rain, so don't rush around. Just stay here tonight."
Qu Yanran was so happy that she couldn't express it in words. She knelt down and kowtowed.
"I bow to thank the emperor for his grace!"
She was happy, but Concubine Yao saw it and felt extremely unhappy.
Originally, she was guaranteed the favor for tonight, but it was snatched away by such a vixen who showed up out of nowhere. Where would her face be?
She watched Xiao Jingheng walk away, talking and laughing, holding Qu Yanran's slender waist, and felt more and more uncomfortable.
Jiang Deshun saw her displeasure and smiled and advised:
"Don't be sad, Concubine Yao. A woman like this is not worthy of being in a noble house. If the emperor spends one night with her, she will probably not have any offspring. You are a very lucky person, so why bother with her for just one day of pleasure?"
Yaopin said sadly, "She is lucky to have a day of spring, and Eunuch Jiang should be more careful in what he does. Her name sounds like a seductress, and she looks like a bad person. Eunuch Jiang is sending someone like this to serve the emperor, isn't he afraid that the empress dowager will find out and blame him?"
Jiang Deshun said, "That's what Lady Yaopin taught us, but when we are on duty, we must always keep the emperor's mind in mind, right? Well, since the emperor is drunk tonight, after he summons her, I will have Xiao Yinzi have her carried away so that she won't be an eyesore to the lady."
Yaopin replied indifferently, "It's your job, eunuch. You can handle it yourself."
After saying this, he turned around and left quickly, but he already had a plan in mind.
Jiang Deshun just said that Qu Yanran would be carried away after serving the emperor.
Besides, Xiao Jingheng drank too much tonight and was in a state of confusion. If Qu Yanran was carried away, then maybe she could take the opportunity to make up for it?
After all, your own future is in your own hands.
So Concubine Yao made up her mind and went to the cabin where Xiao Jingheng lived.
Walking along the corridor, I saw that there were so many patrolling guards that even a fly could hardly fly in.
The one guarding outside the cabin at the moment was Xiao Yinzi. When she saw that it was Concubine Yao, she greeted her respectfully.
"Hello, Concubine Yao. The Emperor is bathing and changing clothes with Miss Qu, so he is not here."
"I know." Concubine Yao said calmly, "I am waiting here for the emperor to come back and greeted him at night. When I came here just now, I saw your master looking for you, as if he had something to tell you."
"This..." Xiao Yinzi was embarrassed for a moment and stammered, "I am on duty and it is not convenient for me to leave."
"Your master taught you to do things, but you have learned to shirk your duties?" Concubine Yao said unhappily, "There are so many guards guarding the corridors on both sides of the cabin. Is it possible that a thief could break in?"
Xiao Yinzi knew that Concubine Yao was in a bad mood tonight because she was ignored. If he annoyed her now, he would only be asking for trouble. He could only say:
"Then I will go find Master first. Lady Yaopin will be waiting outside the cabin. Please don't dare to come in..."
"You don't need to tell me these rules."
"Yes, yes, I have said too much...I will take my leave now!"
After sending Xiao Yinzi away, Concubine Yao sneaked into the cabin when no one was paying attention.
This ship was for the emperor's use, and the furnishings inside the ship were no different from those in the palace.
If it weren't for the sparkling water outside the window, you wouldn't be able to tell that we were on the lake.
There was a wardrobe not far from the dragon bed, which was empty, so Concubine Yao sneaked in like a thief.
She just hoped that after Qu Yanran finished serving the emperor and was carried away, she would be able to take advantage of Xiao Jingheng's drunkenness, sneak onto the dragon bed without anyone noticing, and complete her own wish.
Not long after, Concubine Yao heard a noise outside the door and looked out through the gap in the closet.
Seeing that it was Xiao Jingheng hugging Qu Yanran, he walked in with a smile on his face.
The vixen was full of charm. She snuggled in Xiao Jingheng's arms and said shameless words, which made the drunk Xiao Jingheng happy.
The two of them lingered all the way to the dragon couch, and Qu Yanran even covered Xiao Jingheng with her body, and quite affectionately covered Xiao Jingheng's eyes with a piece of bright red silk cloth.
Yaopin was so upset that she wanted to turn her head away and not cause trouble.
But just as she turned her eyes away, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Qu Yanran's wrist, and it seemed that something was flashing a bright light.
She looked carefully and was surprised to find that it was Qu Yanran who took out a dagger from her sleeve!
Yaopin was shocked and stunned. She didn't care about her undignified appearance. She pushed open the wardrobe in panic and shouted at Xiao Jingheng who was indulging in the gentleness.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
But it's too late to remind you now.
Just as Xiao Jingheng tore off the silk cloth and opened his eyes in surprise,
Qu Yanran had already raised the dagger and stabbed it fiercely towards Xiao Jingheng's chest.
"Dog Emperor! Prepare your death!"
