Chapter 761 An Incident At The Sacrificial Ceremony

Ning Qian looked up at the petite maid and saw the maid was glancing at her, her bright eyes rolling.

Ning Qian smiled and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The maid seemed to be stunned, and then smiled brightly. Her eyes lit up in an instant. "My name is Bai Su." After a pause, she boldly looked at Ning Qian and said, "Your Highness, how beautiful you are!"

Ning Qian couldn't help laughing, "you are so sweet."

Then Ning Qian lowered her head and looked at the book in her hand. After a moment of silence, she ordered softly, "The tea is a little cold. Go and make another pot of tea for me."

Bai Su nodded slightly, took the teapot on the table and walked out of the bedroom happily.

Ning Qian stood up, walked to the desk, wrote a note, and threw it under the bed. Then she walked to the dresser and took out a lotus hairpin. She carefully poured out some white powder from it and hid the power between her nail and finger.

After that, he put the hairpin back. She walked to the couch and sat down, turning the page in her hand with a calm expression on her face as usual. Hearing a light cough from under the bed, Ning Qian became sure about her plan.

After a while, footsteps came from outside again. As the curtain was being opened, the sound of beads colliding was particularly clear.

"Your Highness, the tea is ready." With a smile on her face, Bai Su walked in briskly.

Ning Qian nodded slightly, watching Bai Su put the teapot on the table and pour tea for her. Ning Qian looked up and smiled at Bai Su. Then she took another teacup, poured a cup of tea by herself, and pushed it in front of Bai Su. "Don't be so reserved in Xiangzhu Palace. Your Sister Qing Dai, who always wears a straight face and doesn't speak, is not here. Sit down and have a cup of tea. Now I can't even find a person to drink tea with me..." Then she let out a soft sigh.

After saying that, Ning Qian lowered her head and looked at the book in her hand. She picked up the teacup and took a sip casually.

Taking a glance at Ning Qian, Bai Su thought for a while and said with a smile, "That's what Qing Dai is like. Please don't mind." As she spoke, she picked up the tea Ning Qian had poured for her and took a big gulp.

The tips of Ning Qian's mouth lifted in a brief smile, "I didn't blame her." However, she was counting in her heart. 'ten, nine, eight...'

Before she could count to one, she saw that Bai Su's body wobbled and was about to fell down. Ning Qian quickly held Bai Su in case the people outside would be alerted.

Then she lowered her head and took off her clothes. Then she pushed her down to the bed. Qian Yan quickly got out of the bed.

When Qing Dai returned to Xiangzhu Palace, Ning Qian was still sitting on the couch, reading books. Her posture was the same as that when she left, as if she hadn't moved at all. Seeing Qing Dai come in, Bai Su beamed and exclaimed, "Sister Qing Dai, you're back."

Qing Dai noticed that Ning Qian frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with Bai Su's disturb. With a snort in her heart, Qing Dai looked up at Bai Su and said, "You can leave now."

Sue nodded with a smile, swe

She suddenly moved the dagger in her hand, leaving a deep mark on Xia Huanyu's neck. Blood dripped down the dagger.

The eldest princess looked at the blood dripping from the dagger, her eyes filled with madness. She laughed and said, "Xia Huanyu is dying. The State of Xia belongs to me, Xia Xiangru."

The secret guards were about to make a move. The eldest princess stopped smiling and looked coldly at Liu Wenan and the secret guards. She clapped her hands and about a hundred people appeared out of wall of the Temple of Heaven. They were dressed in black, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and aimed at the people inside.

The eldest princess said in a cold voice, "If you are willing to support me as the emperor, just withdraw from Temple of Heaven. I'll count to ten, and those who haven't withdrawn will be shot to death by arrows!"

Lady Shu, who was kneeling in front of the Heavenly Altar, moved slightly. The eldest princess looked at her and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lady Shu. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to sneak in and set up this trap so easily. But Lady Shu, you don't have to leave today. Just stay here."

Lady Shu's eyes flashed with disbelief. She suddenly looked up at the eldest princess and said, "Your Highness, it's not what you've promised me. The reason why I am willing to cooperate with you and the seven prince is that you two have promised me to give me and Prince Qi a chance to live. Do Your Highness want to break our agreement?"

Hearing Lady Shu's words, the eldest princess burst into laughter with a bit of contempt. "It's said that Lady Shu is a smart woman, but I didn't expect that she would be so stupid sometimes. The reason why I take action at this time is that both Prince Rui and the seventh prince are not in Jin City. How can I let go of Prince Qi and make myself unhappy. And I asked Lady Xiang to frame the Empress just because I wanted you to set up the sacrificial ceremony. Now you are no longer useful. I know the principle of removing the roots while cutting off the grass. Neither you nor Prince Qi can run away today."
