The princess was about to make love with Chu Xiao when she heard a voice report: "Princess, there's a letter from the palace."
"Present it!" The princess opened the envelope and took a closer look.
It turned out to be a letter from the Queen: "Hahaha, very interesting, reply quickly and tell her that I have been informed and that Her Majesty will wait for good news!"
"Yes, Princess!"
"How dare this Concubine Chen get pregnant? She's simply a stumbling block for me. This time, I'm going to make sure she never returns!"
The eldest princess's viciousness is like a poisonous snake hidden under her beautiful appearance, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.
"Princess, is this Concubine Chen the one that the Emperor brought back from outside the palace a few days ago?" Chu Xiao asked.
The eldest princess's expression was intriguing. "That's right, but if this Concubine Chen knew Xiao Lang, would Xiao Lang still be willing to get rid of her as soon as possible?"
"Of course. For the sake of our grand plan, we will kill gods if we meet them, and kill Buddhas if we meet them." Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a cruel look.
Three days passed in a flash. Today was the eldest princess's wedding, but the Empress Dowager was unable to attend in person because she had diarrhea and was bedridden.
The Princess's residence was packed with guests, and Eunuch Dou shouted:
"The Emperor and Empress have arrived"
All the guests stood up and knelt to salute.
The emperor was seen holding Jiang Meiyu's hand, while the queen was walking on the right.
Sima Zhan sat upright on the main seat: "My dear ministers, please stand up! Please take your seats!"
"Yu'er, come sit next to me!"
The corners of the Queen's mouth twitched slightly, but she immediately said, "The Concubine Chen is pregnant now, so it's better for her to sit down!"
"Yes," Jiang Meiyu sat quietly at the lower left corner of the emperor like a well-behaved little deer.
"The princess and her husband have arrived. The auspicious time has come!" The nanny beside her shouted loudly, as if announcing the arrival of this important moment to the whole world.
Chu Xiao and the eldest princess walked in together. When they saluted the emperor, Chu Xiao's gaze was like lightning, instantly hitting Jiang Meiyu.
His eyes were as big as copper bells, and his mouth was wide open in surprise: "Fu... Yu..."
Just when Chu Xiao was shocked like a statue, a group of ghostly men in black flew over the wall of the princess's mansion, each holding an arrow as sharp as a poisonous snake in his hand.
One of them aimed the arrow at Jiang Meiyu, and with a "whoosh", the arrow shot over like a meteor.
"Someone come, there's an assassin..." There was chaos outside, like a disturbed beehive.
A group of guards surrounded the emperor like a steel wall.
It happened in a flash. At the moment when the tip of the arrow was only a few millimeters away from Jiang Meiyu, Sima Zhan grabbed one of Jiang Meiyu's hands like lightning, and Jiang Meiyu's whole body lightly tilted like a petal in the wind.
Sima Zhan's sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea. With a single swipe, the entire arrow instantly broke into two pieces and fell to the ground like a severed branch.
Seeing that he failed, the man in black prepared to shoot the second arrow. Zi Cheng led several ghostly secret guards to fly onto the wall and started fighting with the man in black.
Sima Zhan held Jiang Meiyu tightly in his arms, as if she was the most precious treasure in his life.
Chu Xiao wanted to go forward, but he was as if he was under a spell and did not dare to go forward because of the emperor's presence.
His heart was filled with regret. If he had known it was Jiang Meiyu, he would never have planned this assassination!
How could she be with the emperor?
Chu Xiao's heart was filled with doubts and pain, as if he was being gnawed by millions of ants.
No wonder I’ve been searching for him for so long but haven’t found any news!
The princess lifted her veil, and her eyes were like burning flames, staring straight at Chu Xiao.
She kicked Chu Xiao with all her might, as if this kick could vent all the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Chu Xiao came to his senses and was pulled aside by the princess like a lost ghost.
The queen was like a cunning rabbit, hiding on one side. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like a blooming flower. She prayed secretly in her heart that those men in black would not let her down!
In a moment, the Royal Guards arrived like a gust of wind and joined the fierce battle.
This group of men in black were like ghosts, each one of them agile and strong, but after a long battle, their physical strength was exhausted.
Suddenly, a man in black jumped off the wall like a bird, and the long sword in his hand stabbed towards Jiang Meiyu like lightning.
Seeing this, Sima Zhan immediately drew his sword to fight, but the man in black was like a loach and tried to avoid him. His target was obviously Jiang Meiyu.
However, the man in black underestimated the emperor. The emperor's kung fu was like an unfathomable ocean, and he just liked to pretend to be vulnerable on weekdays.
However, after just three or two moves, the man in black was unable to withstand it and was soon seriously injured.
Sima Zhan made a final powerful move with his sword, like a dragon emerging from the sea, piercing the left leg of the man in black.
The man in black fell to the ground due to severe pain. He tried to commit suicide by taking poison, but Sima Zhan was quick-witted and pinched his mouth like a ghost, forcing the poison out.
"Come here, take this man away and torture him severely!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Princess and Chu Xiao were as stunned as clay statues or wooden sculptures, frozen in time. What should they do? If the man in black was caught, he would most likely betray them...
"Yu'er, are you okay?" Sima Zhan asked anxiously.
Jiang Meiyu shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine!
"Chu Xiao, the assassination that occurred at the Princess's residence today was caused by your improper arrangements. Do you admit your guilt?"
Chu Xiao knelt hurriedly and said in a terrified tone, "I deserve death. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
