Colorful flowers floated from the sky, and petals fell everywhere one by one.

In the center of the sky, a dancing woman in white stepped on a silk ribbon and slid down, slowly descending with the falling petals in an extremely graceful posture.

At the same time, the notes of the guzheng rose and fell little by little, and the woman in white in the center danced to her heart's content.

Mu Ci was stunned.

It’s... it’s too cool. People in ancient times danced conveniently, using light skills, and their graceful dance moves were amazing.

She almost wanted to howl.

However, now is not the time to appreciate this. Mu Ci turned her head to look at Wen Xiuqi, but was caught off guard and met his gaze. She was stunned for a moment.

This guy doesn't look at the heroine, why is he looking at her? Is he afraid that she will cause trouble?

Although he muttered this in his heart, Mu Ci took advantage of the time when almost everyone was immersed in the graceful dance of the heroine Gong Rong, and quietly left his seat and planned to sit next to Wen Xiuqi to facilitate the attack later.

"Junior sister, where are you going?" Bai Qingchen grabbed her arm and asked.

Mu Ci was startled and quickly winked at him, asking him to shut up and not make too much noise.

Although as the Tenth Princess Qiu Muchi, she has always acted arbitrarily, she did not dare to do anything too outrageous at this banquet of officials. Besides, there was the Queen Mother to suppress her, and this old woman always liked to go against her.

However, why wasn't this guy impressed by the heroine? Mu Ci thought about it and the only possibility was that he was probably just an NPC who was not even cannon fodder!

Mu Ci's mouth twitched.

"I'll be back later. Don't worry about it for now."

Having said that, he withdrew his arm and continued to sneak forward.

Bai Qingchen stared at his empty palms, and a strange feeling crossed his mind.

Mu Ci turned around and slid to Wen Xiuqi's side, half-pressing his body. Just as he was about to sit down, he was stopped by Heifeng beside him.

"Tenth Princess, what are you doing here?"

Since Wen Xiuqi had been in a bad state just now, Heifeng thought that it was because his master didn't want to see Qiu Muchi. However, the seating arrangement was too clever and his master had to face Qiu Muchi's disgusting face.

But he never expected that the Tenth Princess would be so shameless as to sneak here, so he decided to step forward and drive away this evil and lustful Tenth Princess who was eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.

"Brother Hei, why are you everywhere?" Mu Ci slapped his hand away and sat down next to Wen Xiuqi.

Heifeng originally planned to stop them, but seeing that his master had no intention of kicking them out, he just stood aside and kept silent. He didn't want to exchange jobs with that guy Heiyu.

As soon as Mu Ci sat down, he heard someone next to him say coldly, "Princess, why are you here with me instead of accompanying that young man in white?"

The tone was weird and made people feel uncomfortable.

Mu Ci sounded a little annoyed and said nothing.

Seeing that she ignored him, Wen Xiuqi, who was standing by, thought that she had guessed what he was thinking, and felt annoyed. He snorted again. At this moment, Wen Xiuqi no longer had the gentle and indifferent attitude he had before, as well as his nonchalant attitude towards everything.

However, this cold snort did make Mu Ci a little angry. She didn't do anything to him. He had been staring at her with a cold face since the beginning of the banquet, and now he looked annoyed and impatient. She was also a little angry.

After all, the two of them have been together for at least a month, and she has passed on all her sixty years of internal energy to him. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. Is it necessary for him to be so rude to him?

Although the mission had to be completed, Mu Ci didn't want to suffer here.

But just when she was about to stand up, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back to sit, and the person next to her even moved a little closer.

"Sorry, I lost my temper just now." So, just sit here and don't go back.

Wen Xiuqi's voice came slowly and muffled, but it revealed a rare hint of true emotion, and his tone was very unnatural, and it seemed that he seldom said such words of weakness.

Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, then sat down. She didn't want to go back originally, she just wanted to move to the side. Now she was closer to Wen Xiuqi.

As soon as he sat down, a plate of peeled water chestnuts suddenly appeared in front of him. Mu Ci turned his head and glanced at Wen Xiuqi in surprise, but the other party seemed not to have seen it. He just drank his tea with a nonchalant look on his face.

Mu Ci's gaze fell on the tip of his red ear. He paused, something flashed quickly in his eyes, then he retracted his gaze and pushed the diamond corners away.

"I don't like eating this!" Full of willfulness and arrogance.

With an undisguised look of dislike and disgust on her face, she then held her chin with her hand and frowned as she looked at the heroine Gong Rong who was still performing.

When Wen Xiuqi heard this, his body froze for a moment, and his eyes fell on Mu Ci beside him. He looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said coldly and expressionlessly to Hei Feng beside him: "Throw it away."

Heifeng shuddered: "...Yes, Master."

This...what's going on? I always feel depressed staying here.

Besides, doesn’t the Tenth Princess like to eat? Just now, the master’s eyes were always on the opposite side, and he followed them. Seeing the Tenth Princess peeling water chestnuts over there, he thought she would like it very much.

Why don’t I feel like eating this time?

In short, no matter whether he likes to eat it or not, he has to do what his master says. Heifeng took the plate of peeled water chestnuts and left.

When Mu Ci saw his face suddenly turn cold, she didn't have time to think about it, because she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment...

"There's an assassin! Protect the driver!"

Mu Ci immediately became alert, her eyes fixed on Gong Rong, and her body intentionally or unintentionally protected Wen Xiuqi behind her. If Wen Xiuqi was going to save Gong Rong, she could come to his rescue in time.

Wen Xiuqi looked at the back of the person who was protecting him. He pursed his lips tightly, put his hand on Mu Ci's arm, and folded it to his side, saying, "Let's hide on the other side first."

Having said that, he exerted a little force on his arms and brought Mu Ci with him, and the two of them moved away from the danger zone.

Mu Ci was stunned for a moment.

Wait, aren't you going to protect the heroine? Why are you hiding?

She turned around in surprise, but found that the other person's attention was not on Gong Rong at all, and she didn't know what he was thinking with his head down.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations.

With a "whoosh", a sharp sword pierced into the man's chest, followed by the sound of swords clashing. The assassin was soon captured, but when he was about to question him, he gritted his teeth and committed suicide.

Leaving aside the ambush this time, the main concern at the moment was the injury of the Fifth Prince Qiu Shaoyuan. In order to save Gong Rong, he blocked the sword with his body and was stabbed through the heart by the assassin. Since the sword was poisoned and the wound was not shallow, the Fifth Prince fainted directly in Gong Rong's arms.

Gong Rong exclaimed, "Fifth Prince!"

The emperor calmed down the chaotic situation and shouted, "Call the doctor!"

Mu Ci stared at the scene in front of her and felt that the plot was a bit broken, but it had nothing to do with Wen Xiuqi. However, the person who was supposed to block the sword and get poisoned changed from Wen Xiuqi to Qiu Shaoyuan. As for what would happen next, she didn't know whether it would be good or bad.
