Chapter 151 - Dining in the Palace

Empress Dowager nodded in approval, and said: "Good, very good. You can go! "Don't disturb my cultivation."

"It's the Empress Dowager. Wifey Sun will take her leave." Qin Luofei and the Honorable Zhang withdrew from the side hall.

Honorable Zhang was drenched in sweat, he felt even more pressured to see Empress Dowager than to see the empress dowager.

Honorable Zhang admired Qin Luofei, his expression did not change at all, and his answers to Empress Dowager's questions were flawless.

After exiting the Empress Dowager's chambers, Qin Luofei shook her head slightly when she saw the Honorable Zhang's nervous expression.

"There's still some time before the banquet, how about you return to the palace to rest?"

Honorable Zhang nodded his head, and said: "Then little sister will be returning to the palace to rest for the time being.

Qin Luofei nodded.

Seeing that the Honorable Zhang had left, Qin Luofei whispered a few words into Zi Yuan's ears, Zi Yuan nodded and walked towards the front hall.

Qin Luofei brought Xuanhua to the imperial study and ordered the imperial kitchens to prepare some snacks and fragrant tea before bringing them along with her.

When they arrived at the entrance of the imperial kitchens, they saw the Fifth Prince and the emperor's personal young eunuch standing at the entrance of the great hall, whispering to each other.

"Eunuch Xiao Linzi, is the emperor in the imperial study?" Qin Luofei strode up the stairs, arriving at the entrance of the imperial study.

Xiao Linzi jumped in fright when he saw Qin Luofei, and hurriedly said, "The emperor is here, do you want this servant to report?"

Qin Luofei nodded, and said: "I'll be troubling Xiao Linzi."

"Of course not, serving the Emperor and the concubine is my duty." Xiao Linzi entered the hall to report.

Qin Luofei was standing at the entrance of the great hall when she saw the young eunuch beside Fifth Prince look behind her.

When he saw her looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

This young eunuch had a cold and clear appearance, but his face was also very unfamiliar. This was the first time he had seen him.

This evildoer's personal eunuch was indeed different from the others. He was also quite handsome.

After waiting for half a cup of tea's worth of time, Xiao Linzi came out of the palace, walked to Qin Luofei's side, and said, "concubine, the emperor invites you in."

Qin Luofei nodded, took the side tea of the daisy and walked towards the main hall.

In the palace, other than the emperor and the Fifth Prince, there were also two other old dukes. They were slightly startled when they saw Qin Luo Fei, but they quickly turned their heads away.

Qin Luofei didn't care. She bowed and said, "Greetings to the Emperor."

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and get up!" "Come to my side." Emperor Yun's face revealed a smile, and he waved at Qin Luo Fei.

"Thank you, your majesty."

Qin Luofei stood up and walked up the steps to the emperor's side. She placed the tray filled with tea on the table.

His gaze swept across the memorial that was spread out in front of Emperor Yun. It was the memorial that the Minister had started to imprison the previous Emperor.

Qin Luofei sighed on the inside. If these memorials were to fall into that person's hands, who knows how many sins they would have to add.

"I already know. Royal Uncles, you two can leave for now!" Emperor Yun pressed his temples tiredly.

The two old princes looked at each other, bowed and said, "This official will take his leave."

The two old princes withdrew from the palace.

Fifth Prince winked at Qin Luofei, smiling mischievously, "So sad! Only His Majesty doesn't have this king's. "

"What are you hurting? There's naturally someone helping you." Qin Luofei could not help but bicker when she saw Fifth Prince, who only watched from the side.

Ever since Emperor Yun became the emperor, his relationship with Qin Luofei had actually eased a lot.

"How is the preparation of the palace banquet going?" Only now did Emperor Yun remember to ask about the proper matters.

Qin Luofei smiled coquettishly, "I will listen to your majesty's orders and prepare everything."

Emperor Yun nodded and looked towards Fifth Prince, and said: "Fifth brother, arrange some guards, you must not let anyone go."

Although she had already guessed that Emperor Yun would be preparing the banquet at this time, when the truth was presented before her, she still felt a little apprehensive.

"It's the emperor. I'll immediately do it." Fifth Prince left the palace.

Emperor Yun's gaze looked at Fifth Prince's back figure and said softly: "Love Consort, what do you think we should do if even Fifth Brother wants to betray us?"

"If anyone has to be suspicious of being the emperor, I'd rather not be the emperor." Qin Luofei's gaze looked at Emperor Yun but his heart was in pain. Could it be that the emperor was so suspicious of ghosts?

The coldness and fierceness in Emperor Yun's eyes did not dissipate. He only eased up a little when he saw Qin Luofei, held her hand, and said with a slight smile: "As long as you don't betray us, then I am not afraid."

"I will never betray you." Qin Luofei looked at the Emperor Yun.

She didn't expect him to make a move so quickly, but … How could the Imperial Advisors and the late emperor surrender so easily? He hadn't even made proper preparations yet, what should he do?

Emperor Yun and Qin Luofei accompanied him to the rear hall to rest and first used some tea.

Just as Emperor Yun was about to get up and go to the front hall, the empress dowager sent someone to teach her.

The Emperor Yun thought for a moment before replying, "Report to the empress dowager. Tell her that I'm not feeling well and can't go greet the empress dowager."

"Your majesty, let's go see the empress dowager!" Qin Luofei tried to console him.

No matter what, the empress dowager had always loved the Emperor Yun dearly.

The Emperor Yun nodded and followed the palace maids at the empress dowager's side to pay her respects.

Emperor Yun only brought two young eunuchs with him. On top of that, his mind was preoccupied with other matters. When he arrived at the imperial flower garden, one of the palace maids in front of him suddenly spoke out. "Your Majesty, be careful of the ground."

The Emperor Yun lowered his head, but the maid suddenly took out a treasure sword from his waist and thrusted towards him.

The corner of Emperor Yun's mouth leaked out a dense killing intent as he dodged to the side.

"I didn't expect that they would be unable to endure even if we didn't attack them."

The maid did not say a word, and the sword in his hand became even sharper.

Emperor Yun was already on his guard, how could she be willing to let her succeed? He waved his palm techniques, trying to kill maid.

When the guards of the imperial garden heard the sounds of fighting, they immediately surrounded maid.

The maid had wanted to take advantage of Emperor Yun's inattention to suddenly attack. Seeing that Emperor Yun was on guard, he knew he had made a mistake. Seeing that there were more and more guards, maid suddenly gritted his teeth and black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

She was afraid that if she continued to delay things any longer, she would be captured by the guards. It would be impossible for her to die even if she wanted to. The consequences of betraying her master was not something she could bear. It would be better if she died, because her master would let her family off.

Just as Qin Luofei was about to go to the banquet, she heard a young eunuch come over to report that her Emperor Yun had been assassinated by a maid. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Is Your Majesty injured?"

"Reporting to concubine, the Emperor isn't injured. It's just that maid bit his own poison and committed suicide." The young eunuch was clever with his words.

Qin Luofei nodded and said, "Then take me quickly."

Qin Luofei hurried over to the imperial flower garden. Seeing that the guards were busy dealing with maid's corpse, the Emperor Yun stood aside with a gloomy face. Even the empress dowager was alarmed and hurried over with some people.

This time, the empress dowager only took one glance at Qin Luofei before turning her head, so much so that she was in no mood to compare notes with her.

"Your majesty, how are you?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Yun, his heart aching so much that he could only cry.

When the Emperor Yun saw that the empress dowager and Qin Luofei had also arrived, he quickly called for the guards to protect them well and said, "Your child is very well. There's nothing major, so the empress dowager can rest at ease!"

"How can I be at ease? Exactly who is so audacious that even the Emperor dares to attack us? We must investigate them strictly." Her Majesty was furious. What was even more infuriating was that this palace maid was actually using her name to deceive her son. If something were to happen to him, what would happen to her?

Empress Dowager also sent some people over, Emperor Yun specially sent the little eunuch, Xiao Linzi, to report to him.

Qin Luofei stared at the maid lying on the ground. She didn't need to guess to know who sent them, could it be that they knew the Emperor Yun's plan as well?

Although she knew they wouldn't be caught without a fight, she still didn't expect them to actually shoot assassins to assassinate her in the palace. They really had the guts.

After the head guard finished his inspection, he came over to report, "Your Majesty, the person who attempted to assassinate the Emperor didn't have any identification. However, there is a strange flower shaped on her left shoulder. It looks like a secret mark."

"Oh!" Emperor Yun walked over to take a look, and Qin Luofei also walked over.

That black mark was on maid's left shoulder. It had obviously been stuck there, and looking at the mark, it had already been there for a long time.

Emperor Yun nodded and said: "It seems to be the mark of an organization."

The mark on the maid's body was obviously the mark of a death warrior of the Leng Family. How could it be on this maid?

The maid had been hiding by the empress dowager's side for a long time. Even after he was killed in his previous life, she didn't come out to save him. Who could make her jump out to assassinate Emperor Yun?

Emperor Yun looked at the marks on maid's body as he instructed the guard and commander, "Bring your men to search the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard commander turned around and led his men to investigate.

The empress dowager was infuriated as she spoke harshly to the mama by her side. "Bring some people to thoroughly investigate this empress dowager's palace. Arrest this one if there's anything suspicious."

Qin Luofei felt slightly bitter in her heart. This imprint usually did not appear. Only after consuming a medicine would it appear.

However, the last time he was in the secret chamber, he only found the method of communication between the Death Soldiers outside the palace and not the Death Soldiers in the palace. Could it be that the other name list his brother had left behind was that of the deathsworn from the palace?

Big brother would never help the late Emperor to deal with Emperor Yun, so the most likely thing would be … Imperial Consort Leng found Big Brother and made use of Big Brother's kinship.

Thinking of this, Qin Luofei was about to break out in a cold sweat.

She knew Imperial Consort Leng's methods too well. If she could still use her brother now, she would naturally let him live. Once she uses up all of her abilities, her brother's life would come to an end.

What was even more unknown was that there were still many death warriors from the Leng Family s in the palace.

Back then, Leng Family's power was too great, so many people in the palace fawned over this place. Since grandfather had such a heart, then he must have arranged a lot.

Qin Luofei's lips revealed a hint of chilliness. She absolutely could not let that person use the Leng Family's guard, and even more so, could not let her own brother be harmed by him.
