Chapter 111

"Someone took your highness away..." the attendant rubbed the back of the beaten head and retched twice, "I only saw a woman in green..."

Yanqing clenched her fist, said nothing, left her entourage and strode to the deep of the yard.

"Mr. Yan? Are you..." Gu Yuan happened to pass by and saw him with a gloomy face. Behind him sat another attendant who looked very uncomfortable. Strangely, she led the maid to ask.

Yan Qing looked at the old man nervously. After seeing that it was Gu Yuan, she was slightly stunned, and immediately bowed her hand and gave a peer salute.

"Miss Gu, can you... Excuse me?"

Gu Yuan looked at the man in front of her and waved her handmaid back.

"What's Mr. Yan going to say?" the woman asked curiously.

"I... have one thing to ask."

The banquet was still full of wine and preparation. Ladies and courtiers gathered together in twos and threes to talk about current affairs and gossip.

Wen Xiao looked at Lu Sheng's empty seat opposite and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Xiao Xiao." a female voice came from behind. She turned her head and saw Gu Yuan coming towards her.

Wen Xiao looked at Gu Yuan's bad face with some doubts.

"Xiaoxiao, King Xuan has been calculated. Now I don't know where he is in the garden," Gu Yuan said in a low voice while observing the situation around him. "Yanqing asked me to tell you this. By the way, find a way to stop King Cheng and don't let his plot succeed."

Wen Xiao gave a "click" in his heart.

She stood up and looked at Yan Qing standing in the shadow of the forest.

Yanqing nodded at her, turned and disappeared on the banquet.

Wen Xiao pursed his lips and said nothing. It took a long time to pat Gu Yuan's hand.

"Just stay here and try to delay Cheng Wang," Wen Xiao said, glancing at Lu Rong, who was absent-minded among the courtiers. "I'll go out."

"You... Be careful." Gu Yuan looked at Wen Xiao's look. The dissuasion she wanted to say was blocked in her throat. She blurted out the opposite, "if you can't, just tell the queen directly. There will always be a way."

Wen Xiao smiled placidly at her and took a maid to the garden as if nothing had happened.

As soon as I entered the garden, I saw a boy running from the garden to the banquet, looking around stealthily.

Wen Xiao's eyes were cold and he took two steps to stop the man.

"Which family are you from? Can't you see our young lady here!" the little servant girl was motioned by Wen Xiao and shouted, "what are you doing stealthily!"

The boy was startled and quickly knelt in front of Wen Xiao and knocked his head firmly.

"Please spare your life. The villain is just a groom and doesn't understand etiquette. I hope you will spare your life."

Wen Xiao looked at his dirty outer shirt and confirmed his guess.

"Qi Yang, take people down for me!" she drank softly. A dark figure suddenly appeared behind her. She came forward and caught the boy who wanted to escape and threw him to the ground.

Qi Yang is one of the dark guards raised by his eldest brother. He follows Wen Xiao almost all the time to ensure her safety.

Originally, Lu Sheng also had his own dark guard. Unfortunately, the emperor was too suspicious recently. For fear of trouble at the Palace Banquet, Lu Sheng left everyone outside the palace.

Qi Yang was also disguised as a boy, so he was able to enter the palace.

The boy bared his teeth in pain and tried to escape while begging for mercy.
