Moonlight Allure

Chapter 67 Assassination
Qingning Palace

'Pa—' The fine porcelain cup was vigorously swung to the ground and shattered all over the place.The tea mixed with the fragrant tea leaves spilled out, and the thin pieces gave off a cold and sharp breath.

"Plop—" A group of courtiers in the house knelt down on the ground, looking at the beautiful woman who got up angrily with panic.

"The empress calm down"

The glamorous woman in a bright red flowing cloud pleated skirt, her green hair was ostentatious, and her delicate facial features were filled with cold anger.It greatly discounted her original beautiful appearance.She looked coldly at the palace servant who was kneeling on the ground.

"Let's all go out to Bengong" The slightly heaving chest showed her anger.

"Yes" Yiqian Gong retreated with lingering fear.Only a pretty woman in a green palace dress was left to serve.

"Wan'er" Yao Sihan gradually regained his composure, and slowly sat back on the imperial concubine chair.His eyes are as charming as silk, and his expression is lazy and composed.It's just that under the pupils of the clear water, there is a deep coldness and viciousness.

"Niang Niang" Wan'er stepped forward, waiting for orders.

Yao Sihan glanced at her lightly: "Is the news accurate? The fourth prince...is he still alive?" The light tone made people think that this person must be a delicate beauty.In fact, Wan'er has been with Yao Sihan for more than 20 years, how can she not understand her temperament?The more casual the empress looks, the more angry she is.

She lowered her eyes and replied respectfully: "There is no doubt about it when you answer your mother's words." She paused, and then said in a deep voice: "The empress has already received the news, but there is no movement at all."

"Really?" Yao Sihan squinted, leaning lazily on the soft couch.The red skirt hangs down to the ground, and the sun shines in.The pattern embroidered with gold thread on the silk brocade shone dazzlingly.

The pink lips are slightly parted, and the moist red lips are like lotus flowers soaked in nectar in the morning, budding, shy and charming.

Her eyes fluttered, her charming style, coupled with her glamorous appearance, even though she was over forty years old, she was still magnificent and magnificent.

"The queen is calm." She looked at her beautiful nails casually, the light in her eyes was as cunning as a fox: "I don't know, how long can she maintain her peace at this moment?"

Wan'er frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Yao Sihan winked, the light in his eyes suddenly became cold, but the words he spoke were extremely gentle: "I'm not in a hurry, how can I mess up my own way and let her take advantage of it for nothing? Wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?" She She opened her lips and smiled delicately, but her eyes were full of disdain.

"Your Majesty's meaning..." Wan'er hesitated and said, "Stay still?"

"Otherwise?" Yao Sihan raised her eyes and looked at her: "Although the empress is the main palace, her eldest prince does not like the emperor at all. Besides" she changed to a comfortable position and lay down, her tone was lazily sarcastic: "don't forget, we In the palace, isn't there still the emperor's favorite prince?" She suddenly smiled slightly: "I was confused just now, and that bitch's son is still alive, so it's not bad for us..."

"En?" Wan'er was puzzled

Yao Sihan squinted his eyes: "The empress wanted to use those brats to restrain me in those two years, why couldn't I use them to restrain the empress?" The smile on the corner of her mouth was somewhat unpredictable: "Looking at the entire harem, there are Who can compete with my Yao family?" She said this very arrogantly, "What about the queen? What about the mother of a country? How long has it been since the emperor stepped into Fengqi Palace? I'm afraid, even what she looks like Forget it." Her eyes were full of mockery and disdain.

"But..." Wan'er hesitated for a while, and finally replied, "Second prince and third prince..."

Hearing this, Yao Sihan's originally relaxed expression disappeared instantly.His face suddenly became gloomy and angry, and he sat up coldly.

"Don't mention those two useless things to me." Originally, these two sons were her pride, but at this moment they only annoyed her.

"It's fine for Qi'er to take a break from Luo Qingcheng without authorization. With the merits and power of my Yao family, no one in the harem dares to keep pace with me. But Qiu'er..." She said with a look of hatred: "He even Being fascinated by a woman, I am absent-minded all day long. It really took me so much painstaking effort for so many years." She slapped the mahogany table and chair so hard that the wooden table trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Wan'er hurried up, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "The two princes are young and energetic, so please don't be angry. The two princes will understand your mother's painstaking efforts sooner or later."

Yao Sihan glanced at her, then lay slantingly on the imperial concubine chair again, squinting with winking eyes:, playing with Danko's nails, said leisurely: "I don't expect them to understand my painstaking efforts. May" She squinted her eyes, her voice was inexplicably low and melancholy, looking at the smog in the hall, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of misty white mist.Confused and unreal: "They shouldn't mess up their sense of propriety because of a woman, and they should go against me everywhere."

"Ma'am, you worry too much," Wan'er said
"Worry too much?" Yao Sihan glanced at her, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth: "How could Bengong not know about the child born to me? Qi'er is naughty and doesn't care about political affairs at all. Qiu'er is quiet and gentle, and only knows how to appreciate her all day long." Hua Guanyue. Ben Gong really doesn’t understand, the two children were born by Ben Gong, but this character is not at all like Ben Gong.” She said angrily and helplessly: “If Ben Gong hadn’t been in the palace for 20 years, The foundation has been solid for many years, and with the support of my mother's family. The three of us, mother and son, don't know if we can live to this day. Fortunately, Ben has put in more effort to pave the solemn road for them, but they don't appreciate it at all?"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Wan'er hurriedly came to comfort her, her eyes rolled. "My Lady, in fact, it is not impossible to let the Second Prince do what you want."

"En?" Yao Sihan's winking eyes lit up, looking at Wan'er with an enigmatic expression, she narrowed her eyes and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty" Wan'er lowered her voice, and said, "My Lady, aren't you worried that the second prince will lose his fighting spirit because of his son's affair? According to this servant, this is not a bad thing."

"You mean..." Yao Sihan seemed to understand something

Wan'er smiled: "Your Majesty, you forgot, how did the Fourth Prince fall off the cliff?"

Yao Sihan's winking eyes flowed, and there was a dark and sharp light in the bottom of her eyes, "I don't know that our usually taciturn fourth prince is actually an infatuated kind?" She said sarcastically and gloating.

"It is precisely because of this that it is more beneficial to the empress." Wan'er's eyes flashed brightly, and she said: "A person as cold as the fourth prince would jump off a cliff and die in love for a woman. If it weren't for the deep love, he would never have done so. The empress also knows that the second prince also loves the second lady of the Luo family..."

She deliberately paused, looked at Yao Sihan's face, saw that she was not angry, and then continued: "The second prince is gentle by nature and doesn't like to fight. But if it's for love, I'm afraid he won't give in so easily. What about this man? , the more you are not good at womanizing on weekdays, once you encounter someone who is tempted, it will be like a raging wave, and you can't calm down. I have never seen the second prince so infatuated with a woman. Right now, Luo Qingyan is still alive, Then the second prince's dead heart will come back to life. And it will also inspire infinite fighting spirit for her." She smiled and looked at Yao Sihan's brighter and brighter eyes, and then said: "Isn't your empress trying to win over the prime minister's mansion? ? If the second prince can get married with the second lady of the Luo family, then what you expect from the empress will be a hundred benefits... and no harm at all."

Yao Sihan sat upright, with a surprised look on his face, his eyes rolled, and he kept scheming.

Seeing this, Wan'er continued her efforts: "Your Majesty, so what you have to do now is... how to make the general live in harmony with the prime minister in the court..."

Yao Sihan nodded and frowned again: "However, my brother and Luo Yunzhi have never been on good terms. Luo Yunzhi is also a stubborn old man, and he has long been dissatisfied with his brother's military power. If the marriage between Luo Qingcheng and Qi'er had not been for the Queen Mother He tried his best to make it happen, but he was also extremely unwilling to agree to marry his precious daughter to Qi'er."

"So" Wan'er said, "as long as the queen mother let go, then he can't help objecting. Besides, I have heard about it. The second lady Luo used to have a good impression of our second prince. Also, our second prince not only looks like a god, She has a noble status and is gentle and elegant. How many women in this world are not tempted? What's more, Miss Luo was born disabled and disfigured. She is already 21 and has not yet married. Noble, the Prime Minister will definitely happily agree, how could he object?"

Yao Sihan narrowed his eyes, his eyes darkened, and said in a deep voice, "I hope so."

**
The breeze was blowing slowly, and several fast horses stopped beside a teahouse beside the suburban road.Looking at the weather, the sun is almost setting.

Xiao Junyi said: "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, you must be tired and thirsty after this journey. Why don't you rest here for a while before continuing your journey?"

Xiao Ziqiu nodded: "That's good." They got off their horses, and Xiao Er came up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Hey, guest officer, please come this way," Xiaoer said, his eyes still wandering around a few people.Suddenly there are so many godlike men and women in this wilderness, how can we not let people take a second look?The originally quiet tea drinkers also cast their eyes on a few people, especially when they saw Luo Qingyan, they all showed obsessive and fascinated expressions.Xiao Moli's face darkened, and his cold eyes drifted away.Thousands of years of ice condensed all over his body, even in this scorching summer, he couldn't stop the cold from entering his body.Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to have any infatuation with Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan smiled, it really didn't make sense for this man to be jealous.But is it just looking at her twice, is it necessary to be so angry?Shaking her head helplessly, Xiao Moli had already sat down while holding her hand.

Seeing her playful and helpless expression, he sank his eyes: "It's better for you to wear a veil in the future."

Yep?Luo Qingyan almost didn't drop the teacup.

"Who said it was troublesome for me to wear a veil all day long, and insisted that I show my true colors? It is said that women are fickle. In my opinion, it should be men who are fickle." She rolled Xiao Moli's eyes, looking out for herself Eating pastries.

Xiao Moli was dumbfounded, Xiao Ziqiu's eyes flickered, and the dim light flashed by.He raised his head, with a faint smile on his face, like a spring breeze

"Qingyan, your face...isn't it already..." He didn't continue, probably because he felt it was abrupt.Xiao Junyi also looked at Luo Qingyan with suspicious eyes, she had lifted her veil in front of everyone, and everyone knew that she was disfigured.Why haven't I seen her for half a year, and the scars on her face are gone?

"Destroyed?" Luo Qingyan took the words lightly
Xiao Ziqiu was a little embarrassed. After all, it was a bit abrupt to ask this question suddenly, and the other party was the woman he was thinking of.

"I'm disfigured, that's right." Luo Qingyan didn't care at all, "Do you think the shards of the mirror scratched your face, how deep is the wound?"

Ga?Xiao Ziqiu was startled, and then suddenly realized, "You... so you... did it on purpose?" He couldn't believe it
"Almost." Luo Qingyan said frankly, she felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter.

"How dare you bully the king and not be afraid of beheading?" Xiao Junyi said calmly but full of sarcasm.

Luo Qingyan glanced at him: "I didn't deceive you. I was right. I was indeed scratched and disfigured by the shards of the mirror. But I didn't say that it couldn't be recovered. It was you who made the mistake." What do you have to do with me?"

"You are bold." Xiao Junyi's tone was a little lighter, apparently without irony.

"Wrong" Luo Qingyan put down her teacup: "I'm not very courageous, just enough to save my life." With this group of princes who grew up in an environment of intrigue all day long, she naturally needs to pay more attention to it.

"You don't shy away from it," Xiao Junyi said
"I'm good at sitting upright, what's there to be taboo about?" Luo Qingyan didn't care at all.

Xiao Moli's dark eyes flashed: "Fifth brother, I don't know when you talk so much. It's getting late, and you have to hurry after eating earlier."

Xiao Junyi glanced at him and said: "Fourth brother, you don't need to defend her all the time. She hasn't married you yet, so you just spoil her like this. If you pass the door in the future, can't you ride on your head?"

"Pfft..." Luo Qingyan just took a sip of tea because of Xiao Junyi's untimely words and spewed out violently.

"Cough cough cough..." She patted her chest and coughed, Xiao Moli quickly reached out and patted her on the back, and said with concern: "How is it?" At the same time, he gave Xiao Junyi a look, but the latter completely ignored it.Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Ziqiu could not help but sigh inwardly when he caught sight of the worry that could not be ignored in Xiao Ziqiu's gloomy pupils.Beauty is a disaster!

Luo Qingyan gulped a few sips of water, feeling better, and smiled slightly at Xiao Moli: "It's okay." Looking back, she gave Xiao Junyi a cold look: "I now doubt whether your title of cold-faced prince is worthy of the name or just a rumor?"

Xiao Junyi raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.On the other hand, Xiao Moli frowned, "What's the matter with you two? Why do you have thorns in your teeth when you meet, as if you had a grudge in your previous life?"

Luo Qingyan glanced at him: "How do I know? You should ask that good brother of yours, but I don't know when I offended him? Why does he have a bad face when he sees me, as if I owe him money and haven't paid it back?" like"

Hearing this, Xiao Ziqiu couldn't help laughing.Xiao Junyi frowned, and looked at her inexplicably.Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly darkened.The face was cloudy and rainy, and there was a chilling atmosphere.The rest of the people obviously also noticed the changes in their surroundings, and put away their relaxed expressions just now, and put on a dignified and mocking expression.

Luo Qingyan was playing with the teacup in her hand, her phoenix eyes were shining brightly, a little stubborn, more cold and indifferent.

"It seems that some people are losing their temper." The gloomy atmosphere around them is getting closer and closer to them, and it seems that there are quite a few people here.

But after a while, dozens of men in black suddenly appeared around.All of them had indifferent eyes, cold eyes, and held long swords in their hands. As the setting sun slanted, the tip of the sword shone with a cold light.

There was a sound of screaming and fleeing in the teahouse, and the diners ran away in panic as if they had seen some beast.The enthusiastic mistress who greeted her everywhere also left her business and fled away.

Fortunately, the targets of these people were not those innocent diners, so they did not chase them down.Instead, he focused his attention on Luo Qingyan and the others.

On the other hand, a few people drank tea calmly, raised their hands and behaved calmly, without the slightest fear.

Seeing this, the group of men in black couldn't help feeling a little wary.In such a situation, either the psychological quality is excellent, or the self-confidence is extremely high.The inborn nobility and majesty of these people makes these killers who usually kill without blood even feel awe.

However, it is one thing to be afraid, but you must not forget your mission here today.

The leader stared coldly, and said coldly: "Go up"

In an instant, dozens of men in black rushed towards them like fallen leaves in a strong wind.

Luo Qingyan's phoenix eyes sank, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile.With a slight movement of his fingers, the teacup in his hand flew out like an off-string arrow, and the water droplets splashed out, turning into a pair of transparent arrows piercing the heart of the man in black in the air.

Blood poured out like a flood that opened the gate.Reflecting the pale yellow soil, reflecting the frightened faces of the men in black.Before they could react, Luo Qingyan and the others had already mounted their horses and fled away.At the same time, several women in their 30s suddenly landed in the air.

The voice of the woman Qingyue came from the air: "I leave it to you, remember, I don't like trouble"

"Yes" the women answered in unison, and then fought with the group of men in black.

In the woods, several fierce horses galloped past.An elegant and gentle voice sounded: "Qingyan, are they really okay? Will there be any danger?"

A cold male voice replied: "If the four guardians of the Liuli Palace can't even deal with this little trouble, then the Liuli Palace is not enough to make people in the Jianghu afraid."

Luo Qingyan was noncommittal, and smiled lightly: "It seems that my good sister can't wait to kill me to silence her. Oh... Is it because I pretended to be a ghost to scare her last time, so she was scared. How could she be so impatient? I I think she's a bit high."

Xiao Moli glanced back at her: "She jumped the wall in a hurry, but it's true, she knows you are still alive, so naturally she won't wait for you to take revenge on her. So, she has to act first."

Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "It's just that she seems to underestimate me, and she is too stupid. I don't even think about it. If she succeeds in this assassination, she is just making a wedding dress for others. If she doesn't succeed, wouldn't she dig a grave for herself? You know, I'm petty."

"It can be seen" Xiao Junyi's voice was lukewarm: "However, how do you know that it was the killer sent by Luo Qingcheng? Maybe it was someone else."

Luo Qingyan didn't look at him, and said indifferently: "You guys have special identities, and you must have provoked many enemies on weekdays. But if they are smart, they shouldn't act rashly at this time. Therefore, those traces are obviously aimed at me If it is a feud, then these people are too helpless. Besides, if they are targeting Yueyan Feixian, they must also take into account the Liuli Palace and the No. [-] Villa in the World, right? I think these people should not want to offend the Liuli Palace And the number one villa in the world. Then, besides Luo Qingcheng, I can’t think of anyone else who wants me to die. Oh…” She seemed to think of something, and said: “No, there is another one, the little princess of Dinghou’s mansion. She seems to regard me as an imaginary rival in love. However, Liu Wenyuan is arrogant and ignorant, but Lord Hou is not a fool. He will not be the most suitable for the entire Prime Minister's Mansion just because of his daughter's small thoughts. But Luo Qingcheng is different, She climbed up to Xiao Ningxuan, and Xiao Ningxuan was backed by the queen, and behind him were two powerful backers, the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Military Affairs. Is there anything he dare not do?"

Xiao Junyi seemed a little surprised: "Miss Luo is Miss Luo, she is not only extremely smart, but also has a delicate mind. I have to admire the thoroughness of the analysis of things." In his words, there was actually a bit of appreciation.

Luo Qingyan gave him a very weird look: "I heard that right? Isn't King Tangyi always condescending and despising women? What I said today flattered the little girl."

Xiao Moli shook his head dotingly, with a smile in his eyes.However, Xiao Junyi didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Luo Qingyan's mouth, and said indifferently: "It's no wonder that even the fourth brother who is not close to women usually favors you."

Luo Qingyan and Ning Mei, these words...why do they seem to have a special meaning.With sideways eyes, she accurately captured the dim luster in Xiao Ziqiu's warm and jewel-like pupils, and her white jade flawless hand was tightly pulled into the rein.Tightly pursing her thin lips, her expression was complicated and sad.

As if in response, he raised his eyes, but he didn't have time to withdraw his apologetic eyes from Shangluo Qingyan.Smiling slightly, Luo Qingyan turned her head away in embarrassment, not looking at him.

The enchanting phoenix pupils became somewhat dim, and the ray of light deep in the pupils also gradually dimmed.His face was gloomy, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

The gazes of the two of them met and fell on Xiao Moli's dark eyes as deep as an ancient lake.Just like a breeze blowing on the face, strands of tiny ripples rippled with the wind, and the circles of ripples rippled on the two clear pools.Before the fine waves appeared, it was calm.He said lightly: "Hurry up, we'd better hurry back within three days, I'm worried that something will happen if it's too late"

Luo Qingyan's eyes moved slightly: "En" holding the rein of the horse, with a sound of 'drive—' the horse left quickly, leaving only wild sand flying in the air, scaring away the birds in the forest and flying away.
