Chapter 23
Another month later, on the emperor's birthday, a longevity banquet will be held, and this day will also be the day the emperor is assassinated.

On weekdays, the emperor would not be assassinated at all times. Qing Chi hadn't done anything until now, but he helped the emperor kill a corrupt official who absconded when he was bored.

【Host, don't forget what you have to do. 】

The system jumped out early in the morning, for fear that Qing Chi would forget about it.

"I haven't forgotten." Qingchi coped lazily with the system, but he also made preparations.

The emperor had already prepared a set of weapons, so she randomly drew a long sword and brought a few throwing knives with her.

The longevity banquet at night was about to begin, and Qing Chi also left the palace. The emperor directly reserved a place for Qing Chi in the clan, and made Qing Chi a princess whom no one knew and could not remember when the emperor named him.

The Hou's Mansion has long since disappeared, and Qingchi, who has never been out of the Hou's Mansion a few times before, no one recognizes him at all.

The Longevity Banquet was attended by many and complicated people, and there were many dependent countries who came to pay tribute, and two of them had a bad relationship.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, the system said it was an enemy country that couldn't even come to the birthday banquet, but the assassination arrangements were made by those two dependent countries and some people in the DPRK.

These have nothing to do with Qingchi, she just needs to save the emperor's life.

It was because Guapi's system refused to directly tell her which assassin was the assassin, so Qingchi had to cheer up and keep paying attention to the emperor.

She said that to keep the emperor, the signboard cannot be smashed.

The taste of the dishes at the Wanshou Banquet was also mediocre. In the past two months, Qing Chi had eaten almost all the delicacies of the palace.

Her food in the past was of the same standard as the emperor's, and the taste was not too good.

But for the Longevity Banquet, so many people had to prepare food, the imperial cooks were all overwhelmed, and the taste was not as good as before.

With his head propped on one hand, Qing Chi was too lazy to listen to the flattery of the ministers and relatives, as well as the envoys from various countries to the emperor, just looking around, looking for the assassin.

He reached out and broke a corner of the table, and successfully stopped a county king next to her from chatting and disturbing her because she was beautiful.

At this time, a group of masked dancers came on stage to perform dances, and Qing Chi's eyes became serious. These masked guys always felt that there was a high probability that they would hide assassins.

Then a court lady serving food for the queen suddenly drew out her dagger as soon as she walked up to the queen, took a step across her shoulders, and stabbed at the emperor.

Qingchi felt a little pain in the face, but guessed wrong, which made her very unhappy.

With such a sudden assassination at such a close range, the hidden guards around the emperor had no time to react.

The emperor looked at the sharp blade that was close at hand, reflecting the green and cold light, his face was pale, and the crisis of death was shrouded in his heart.

It really is that feeling that I am going to die soon.

The queen also turned pale with shock, this court lady has delivered dishes more than once, and she was selected out of thousands of choices, how could she be an assassin!

On the contrary, those dancers have somewhat complicated backgrounds, so we must guard against them.

This kind of court lady who knows how to get close often has searched all over her family, and she is not completely assured that she will not be given this opportunity.

The superiors have always been afraid of assassination, and the people around them checked and checked again and again, but an assassin still appeared. It is really impossible to guard against.

But the queen opened her mouth just now, and it was too late to exclaim, the dagger was about to stab the emperor, and the dagger was obviously coated with poison.

Then there was a sound of breaking wind, and the emperor saw a flash of cold light, which seemed to enter the assassin's body, and then a small square table was thrown, knocking the assassin aside.
