Upon hearing a woman's voice, everyone turned to look, and there stood Changsun Bozong, with a half-smile on his face.
He was also very dignified. Is this the temperament of the eldest princess's husband?
"Who do we have here? It's the young master of the Dong family, bullying my two younger brothers."
When Changsun Bozong spoke, no one dared to utter a sound; he was a man even the eldest princess feared.
His imposing presence naturally brings a sense of calm to people.
Dong Feiyuan didn't dare to move until he walked over and stood between the two groups of people.
He smiled and said, "Young Master Dong, try saying what you just said again."
"Don't dare."
"I see how audacious you were just now! I don't know how Lord Dong's family could be so ill-mannered. It seems I should have a word with our Crown Prince."
"Master Bozong, I will never dare to do it again!"
This situation puts him in a difficult position, with Changsun Bozong always wearing a shrewd, businessman-like smile.
But now, his eyes are full of anger, and his brows are furious.
"Get out of my way and stop getting in my brothers' way! Cheng Yi, you stay by their side."
I have other business to attend to and need to meet with other people. I don't want any shady characters getting close to them.
"Don't you even consider your own status?"
"Yes, Master Bo Zong."
It was somewhat awkward to have a woman from outside the family looking after several men, but Cheng Yi was simply fulfilling her duty.
Standing beside them, neither too close nor too far, I resembled a guard.
He didn't know why he had spoken up to stop them; perhaps he wouldn't have done so with someone else.
But firstly, it was an acquaintance of their husband, and secondly... the person being talked about was Sima Lingyu.
Their eyes met almost unintentionally, and Sima Lingyu nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After all, he was already married, and if he looked at her again, people would say that he was flirting and not adhering to male virtues.
Cheng Yi's martial prowess was so high that he was able to serve as Wu Chengji's deputy.
Chu Qiu was slightly relieved; what he was more worried about now was Wu Ziyan.
She didn't know if anyone was protecting her, and even Baiyun couldn't be there to watch over her all the time.
"My lords, Vice-Minister Cheng, I'm going to find the Fourth Prince."
Sima Lingchuan also knew that today's banquet was not a simple banquet.
Seeing him nod, what could possibly be more important to him than Wu Ziyan's safety?
He left, and Wu Ziyan also emerged from that sparsely populated corner.
Instead of running into Chu Qiu, I encountered Fang Yuerong and Han Yuxiu.
"Wu Ziyan!"
"My boss?"
Hearing the shout, she looked up and saw two people. Wasn't that Han Yuxiu and Fang Yuerong?
What are those two doing here? They weren't invited, nor were they planning to let them in.
This place is fraught with danger; every additional person increases the risk, and she won't be able to protect anyone in the end.
"How did you two get in here? The situation is so dangerous today!"
"We've probably fallen into a trap too. It seems it really wasn't you who posted the message."
“I knew you shouldn’t have brought the two of us in here given the situation.”
"You mean you came in with an invitation?"
"That's it!" Han Yuxiu crossed his arms in front of his chest. This wasn't the time to be petty.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a package from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Ziyan: "You're so weak, this is for you to protect yourself."
"You two are the ones who should be worried about your safety. Forget it, if you've run into each other, come with me. I'll take you to a safe place first."
No, there's nowhere safe anymore.
"Never mind, we'll meet up with Chu Qiu later, you guys stay by his side."
"I still need to go find my older sister, and I also need to check on Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun's situation, so I probably won't be able to take care of you two."
"Who needs your help? Just take care of yourself, and that's enough."
"Yu Xiu, Yu Xiu, why don't you stop arguing with me now?"
Wu Ziyan walked quickly without exchanging many pleasantries with them.
After turning around several corridors, they ran into Chu Qiu, who had come looking for them.
Seeing Chu Qiu made her feel a little more at ease, after all, he was the strongest fighter among them.
She walked over to Chu Qiu with a relaxed expression and asked, "Where are they?"
"With Deputy Cheng Yi there, nothing will happen."
"That's great."
She just didn't notice the looks in the eyes of the three men. Look at me.
I look at you, and in the end, it all falls on her own shoulders.
The Prime Minister and Wu Chengye were drinking tea, with her steward standing beside them.
On the surface, he appeared calm, but inside, a storm was brewing.
At that moment, assassins lay in ambush in the shadows of the palace.
They wanted to take action against Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun, but this was the imperial palace, after all; it wasn't that easy to succeed.
The assassins who had infiltrated the palace staff were also eliminated by Mo Baiyun and his men without them noticing.
This time, all four of them went out together.
The kite owl, falcon, vulture, and eagle owl each guarded a specific position, but he was the one in charge of overall coordination.
With a swift movement of the blade, a person slowly collapsed into a pool of blood.
This is already countless; it seems the Second Princess and the Prime Minister have really gone all out this time.
Not afraid of being held accountable afterward, these assassins left not a single clue.
Mo Baiyun shook the blood off his hands in frustration.
"Annoying! Our master is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood! You lot are really something! You deserve to die!"
Meanwhile, the group of people who had their faces covered up by Changsun Boyou had already dispersed, and their appearances were so realistic that they could be mistaken for the real thing.
Even the princess's own people greeted them when they saw them, thankfully they were professionally trained.
He was highly competent and could easily brush people off with a few words. When he turned around, the person who had greeted him was already lying in a pool of blood.
The second princess and the prime minister sat in the pavilion, and seeing that no news had come for a long time, they became somewhat anxious.
After all, they sent out so many people, even if they didn't fulfill their duty to Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun.
They should have dealt with some of the people around him, but none of them have returned.
As for Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun, they had their own guards.
Wu Chengji also arranged for Chu Yu and other deputies to protect him.
Of course, it was Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan who personally selected it, since he had heard that this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was a large-scale matchmaking event.
What if Chu Yu takes a fancy to someone else?
They were an eye-catching sight just standing there.
The two siblings, dressed in their finest attire, truly outshone most of the high-ranking officials and nobles.
Especially Qi Zexuan, whose face is so captivating that even butterflies are willing to linger for him.
This attracted a crowd of onlookers, and the single women gathered in a circle at a distance to watch.
"My God, look! Those are the princes and nobles of the Little Rong Kingdom! They truly possess the bearing of royalty, they are like celestial beings!"
"That prince, how could we possibly curry favor with him? Just meeting him here is already quite an achievement."
"Look, there are butterflies on his body. This is unheard of and unseen before. In the Spring and Autumn Period, butterflies would have been dead by then."
"Perhaps it's their last struggle."
