Li Qingmo still had some government matters to answer to Li Beimu, so he visited the palace frequently. Nan Xi was bored, so he learned self-defense skills from Shaoyao and Hanlian.

"Master, you learn so quickly." Shaoyao was always chirping, and his mouth never stopped except when he was sleeping.

If he's not eating, he's talking.

Nan Xi never regretted using the last time-travel capsule.

She likes how lively Shaoyao looks now and likes to hear her chirping voice.

A servant stepped forward.

"Mistress, someone from the Ci'an Palace in the palace said that the Queen Mother is preparing to entertain you and me to a banquet to do it for you."

Nan Xi asked Hanlian to go to the front and take a look, while he went back to the house to wash and change clothes.

Peony was waiting on the side.

"Mother, the Queen Mother has always been at odds with me and looks down on you. Why would she suddenly hold a banquet? It can't be the Hongmen Banquet, right?"

The more Shaoyao thought about it, the more he felt it was very possible.

"Mother, why don't we bring more people? Don't worry, our Regent's Palace has this privilege. If we bring more shadow guards, the slaves will feel more at ease."

Nan Xi thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, you and Han Pian can make arrangements."

She also felt that the Queen Mother's move was unusual.

An hour later, Nan Xi's carriage entered the palace and headed towards Ci'an Palace.

At the gate of Ci'an Palace, Nan Xi saw Li Qingmo.

Li Qingmo stood here as if waiting for her.

"I was still thinking about asking someone to find you." Nan Xi said after getting off the car.

Li Qingmo held her hand and did not deliberately lower his voice of reminder, as if he was deliberately letting the people in Ci'an Palace hear him.

"The Queen Mother's visit is probably the Hongmen Banquet. No matter what happens, don't act alone. I'm not afraid of her dealing with me, but I'm afraid that she will turn her target towards you."

Li Qingmo held her hand tightly and tightly, just enough not to hurt her.

"Nan'er, now you are my nirvana."

Nan Xi smiled, the setting sun slanted down on her body, and the golden light reflected in the dark pupils, making it particularly dazzling.

"You too," she said.

The gate of Ci'an Palace opened, and the palace people stood on both sides.

"Meet the regent, meet the princess."

Li Qingmo took Nan Xi's hand and walked in.

Bang!

Behind him, the door of Ci'an Palace closed heavily.

Nan Xi and Li Qingmo glanced back, then looked at each other.

"It seems like it really is a Hongmen Banquet." Nan Xi said with a smile.

Li Qingmo asked her: "Can your pistol still be used?"

"It still works."

Li Qingmo reminded her softly: "Hold it and defend yourself if necessary."

Nan Xi nodded, and using the cover of his sleeves, he took out the pistol from the space and held it in his palm.

In the main hall of Ci'an Palace, the huge round table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The Queen Mother was wearing formal palace clothes and could not hide her excitement.

"Prince Regent, Princess, why don't you be polite when you see the Ai family?" The Queen Mother didn't get angry, she just asked casually as if it was a casual conversation.

Li Qingmo turned sideways and blocked Nan Xi behind him, in a defensive posture.

"I am accustomed to using this technique of courtesy first and then fighting on the battlefield, so I don't think it's anything strange. Since the Queen Mother summoned us today with a purpose, she shouldn't care about these false courtesy, right?"

The Queen Mother sat down and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Li Qingmo didn't refute and pointed to the seat opposite. "Prince Regent, Princess, please take your seats."

Neither Nan Xi nor Li Qingmo moved.

Nan Xi: "Just tell me what the Queen Mother wants to do, but there is no need for such nonsense. I still have serious business to discuss with Emperor Dongyue, so I can't waste any time."

She was reminding the Queen Mother of her current status.

The Queen Mother smiled.

"A country girl who only knows how to play with corpses can actually call herself 'I'. If not for the regent, what kind of queen are you?"

Nan Xi nodded: "The Queen Mother is right, my throne is indeed a betrothal gift from the emperor's husband, but it is also a fact that everyone knows. Even if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied, she can only hold it in. , If it doesn’t work, I’ll give you two free patches of medicine to cure the pain.”

The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body trembled and she slammed the table.

"presumptuous!"

Nan Xi also took the risk and stepped forward, slapping the table as well.

"Be bold!"

Li Qingmo always paid attention to his surroundings and did not dare to be careless.

Nan Xi lowered her eyes and glanced at the dishes on the table. She had a very good nose, not to mention she was a master of poison. She could tell that these dishes were laced with drugs just by smell.

"The queen mother of one country actually used poisoning to deal with the emperor of another country, and she was not afraid of being laughed at. The resulting wars, the uneasiness of the people, and the hard work of the soldiers, can you bear these responsibilities? Are you up?"

The Queen Mother did not panic and sneered, "You have just succeeded to the throne and there is no loyal person in Fenglin. Who else will stand up for you except Li Qingmo? As long as you two die here today, Dongyue will be peaceful from now on." , Fenglin is owned by Dongyue, even if the Ai family has to die with you, it can still be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of Dongyue!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the cup on the table and threw it to the ground.

Nearly a hundred imperial guards suddenly appeared, holding sharp blades and shields, and surrounded Nan Xi and Li Qingmo.

The Queen Mother has been feeling aggrieved for many years, but today she can finally feel proud and proud, not to mention how happy she feels.

"Whoever kills Li Qingmo will be rewarded by the Ai family with ten thousand taels of gold and promoted to the third level!"

The temptation is not small.

However, these imperial guards also knew Li Qingmo's abilities.

Even if so many of them work together, they may not be able to deal with a regent.

Nan Xi looked at the Queen Mother: "You know how much the Emperor admires the Regent, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will hate you if he finds out?"

The Queen Mother: "The Ai family is doing this for Dongyue's empire. Sooner or later, the emperor will understand the painstaking efforts of the Ai family. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to rely on the emperor to save you. He should go out with the female guard now. The palace is looking for you."

Nan Xi and Li Qingmo understood instantly.

The Queen Mother sent both the Emperor and Wen Ying away.

It seems that today's fight is inevitable.

Shaoyao Hanlian and Xia Rui were both locked up outside the gate of Ci'an Palace and were already fighting with another group of guards.

In the courtyard, the Ouchi guards were slowly approaching Li Qingmo and Nan Xi, and no one dared to be the first to take action.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother felt anxious and angry.

He said sternly: "Whoever takes Li Qingmo's head will be crowned king by the Ai family and will not be replaced by hereditary authority!"

This is a matter of honoring the ancestors. If you take a gamble, your descendants will benefit.

"Kill!" Someone shouted.

The guards suddenly attacked.

Li Qingmo protected Nan Xi while fighting back.

He grabbed the sword of one of the guards and kept blocking.

However, there were too many people, and he had to take care of Nan Xi. There was no room for him to perform, and he was even restricted in every aspect.

This is the effect the Queen Mother wants.

She sneered softly and made a gesture. There were more and more guards in the yard. It turned out that they were all hiding in the side hall.
