Chapter 174: Assassin
That sounds very comfortable.
At least Thyme felt that the emperor still attached great importance to her and the Baili family.
The royal garden's early arrivals were in groups of three or five, and they were all talking about this at the moment.
The father-in-law who gave thyme an edict was a popular person around the emperor, and no one in the court knew about it.
So at this time, when the father-in-law went in with thyme, everyone looked at thyme.
Thyme raised her head proudly, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant burst out.
And the delicate makeup and delicate appearance on the face made many people stunned.
The originally noisy Imperial Garden was quiet at this time.
The corner of thyme's eyes swept over everyone, and it was easy to see Xiahou Chun and Mu Xin standing in the middle of the crowd.
As soon as she saw Mu Xin, Thyme thought of Yan Luo's matter again, and she felt that after this incident, she should still tell Xiahou Chun about Yan Luo.
Such thoughts were fleeting.
Thyme was already sitting on the chair.
The position in which Thyme sits is very unique, in the position of the emperor's right hand, and it is also a separate small table, not a large table like the following kings and nobles.
Since it is a banquet, the first and most important thing is to eat, and then to watch the show.
Thyme also knows this process, and when she sits at this time, Thyme looks at the front in a proper manner.
When those princes and nobles saw Thyme sit down, they didn't stand anymore one by one, and if they couldn't guess who the woman sitting on the emperor's right hand was, they would have lived in vain.
At this moment, they all showed amazing expressions.
Thyme just looked coldly at everything in front of her. In the past, the last thing she wanted was to see such a situation, but now it is different, she must become strong for Xiahou Yuchen, and she must face this.
Mu Xin seemed to know the identity of thyme, and his eyes kept looking at thyme very strangely.
At this time, with the voice of his father-in-law: "The emperor has arrived"
The entire banquet stood up.
In order to show her respect for the emperor, Thyme naturally stood up.
The emperor is very easy-going, and there is no shelf.
"Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, this one next to me is Miss Baili."
Thyme didn't know why the emperor deliberately introduced her, but Thyme nodded lightly to everyone.
The banquet began quickly. The emperor seems to want to win over the relationship with thyme. Take the initiative to find a topic.
"Miss Baili, how long are you going to stay in Wangcheng this time?" The emperor's voice was gentle.
Thyme smiled and said: "As long as you finish the matter, you will leave, the emperor knows the matter of my son Baili Yuchen!" ”
The emperor didn't expect Thyme to ask so bluntly, and his face changed slightly. But he still nodded: "I know about this." I also told General Xiahou about this just now. Miss Baili, please rest assured, I think it is best for children to follow Miss Baili. ”
When Thyme heard the emperor's words, she scolded the old fox in her heart. The emperor couldn't wait to show his attitude, obviously trying to win her over or the relationship with the Baili family.
Come to think of it, the Baili family is not on either side of the two countries now, but if Thyme turns against or deviates a little bit from that side, it will be a devastating blow to the other side.
It's just that how could the Baili family be so stupid.
Thyme looked at the emperor with a smile, the smile on her face was very gentle, and she said in a low voice: "The emperor is still well aware of righteousness." ”
The emperor smiled slightly, and his praise for thyme was still very useful.
"It's always inconvenient for Miss Baili to live in an inn, there is a house outside the palace, quiet and quiet, and there are also maids, if Miss Baili doesn't mind ......."
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, I'm used to living in the inn, anyway, I won't stay long, so I won't trouble the emperor, if there is anything that the emperor needs help with, I will definitely not be polite to the emperor at that time."
An Le stood vigilantly behind Thyme, looking around worriedly, the feeling given to him in the palace tonight was really not very good, he always felt that something would happen, so he was very vigilant.
But there were guards standing all around the Imperial Garden, so nothing should happen.
The palace banquet was very lively, and Thyme thought that there would be a show to watch after the meal, and it was known that at the time of the meal, the dancing girl began to perform.
It was at this time that Mu Xin stood up.
Mu Xin held the wine glass in his hand and walked forward step by step.
The eyes also kept looking at the thyme.
After walking three or four steps, Mu Xin stopped.
Thyme nodded at Mu Xin, and the emperor on the side seemed to know something, so he took a sip of the wine glass.
"Miss Baili was disrespectful before." Mu Xin glanced at thyme apologetically.
Thyme smiled slightly, naturally knowing that Mu Xin was talking about what she had always treated her as a man and called her a brother before.
Picking up the wine on the table, Thyme raised it and signaled to Mu Xin: "General Mu doesn't need to be so polite, those who don't know are not guilty, and there were things I did wrong before." ”
After speaking, the thyme raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
The dancing girls in the audience are still dancing, and the dancing appearance is very beautiful.
Mutations often happen in a split second.
The dancing girls who were dancing in the field just now suddenly changed one by one at this time.
Just now, they were as gentle as water, but at this time, they all seemed to be covered with thorns, each holding a dagger in their hands, and several of them wanted the emperor to attack.
Mu Xin was the first to react, threw the wine glass, and began to attack people.
The emperor was very calm, and he didn't panic when he saw such a change: "Miss Baili, please go with me." In the blink of an eye, the emperor was already surrounded by guards.
And the scene was completely chaotic, Xiahou Chun also joined the fight, and those cowardly nobles of the kings and grandsons were already shouting, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Seeing such a scene, Thyme knew that it was an assassin who had infiltrated the palace, so she did not hesitate to follow the emperor and began to run to the nine-song corridor on the side. And An Le nervously followed behind Thyme.
I just walked to the top of the Jiuqu Corridor, and I didn't know that a large group of men dressed in black ran from there.
Seeing this, Thyme frowned.
"How did there be so many assassins in the palace at once?"
Thyme just complained, and the emperor on the side said calmly: "Miss Baili, please rest assured, there will be no problem, we will go back and go from the other side." ”
Saying that, the emperor directly reversed the direction, and the guards also rushed in from the courtyard outside.
Thyme always felt that today's things were not simple, after all, this was the palace, and so many people were mixed in at once, why didn't the emperor notice it at all.
It's not scientific!
An Le looked around nervously. An Le, who was suddenly walking in the front, stopped: "You stand together and don't move." ”
Just finished speaking. On the roof of the cloister, a big hole was broken in an instant, and the tiles fell one by one, and the thyme protected the emperor and retreated directly.
A man dressed in black held a sword in his hand and began to fight with An Le.
Thyme was worried as she watched An Le fight the assassin with her bare hands. Turning around, he snatched a sword directly from the hand of the guard next to him. Then it was thrown to An Le.
An Le grabbed the sword and quickly fought the assassin.
Now it's blocked, front, back, left, right, and right. It's impossible to want to leave.
Fortunately, everyone should be too busy now, and no one cares about Thyme and the emperor.
Thyme looked at the man in black nervously, and suddenly the man in black glanced at thyme. The familiar eyes suddenly shocked Thyme.
"The Three Princes of Western Xia." Thyme exclaimed.
The man in black heard thyme's exclamation, and the movements of his hands were sluggish.
At this moment, An Le's sword stabbed straight into the shoulder of the man in black.
The emperor looked at Baili in surprise and asked, "Miss Baili, what did you just say......." ”
Thyme immediately explained: "I think that man in black is the third prince of Western Xia, his eyes are very similar, the last time the third prince kidnapped me, so I am more familiar with him!" ”
After listening to thyme's explanation, it seemed that the emperor realized something.
The guards had already captured all the black-clad assassins alive, and most of the dancing girls in the arena had already been killed.
The air in the Imperial Garden smelled of blood.
Thyme's heart gradually relaxed, An Le had already seized the opportunity, and it was obvious that An Le was much higher than the man in black.
At this time, the emperor was thinking about another thing: "Miss Baili, I heard that you are very good at medicine, if the man in black is really the third prince, then he is very important to me, can Miss Baili help?" ”
The emperor's intention was to ask thyme to use medicine, but thyme shook his head: "The emperor forgives me for not being able to help you, I have broken a lot of rules for Nanxia." ”
Seeing that Thyme disagreed, the emperor didn't know what to say, Thyme was right, she really broke a lot of rules for Nanxia.
"It's a surprise to me." The emperor looked at thyme apologetically.
While he was talking, An Le had already grabbed the man in black.
At this moment, the emperor has mastered the overall situation.
An Le didn't know that after poking a few times at the position of the man in black, the man in black collapsed to the ground.
An Le lifted the man in black up, and the guards standing beside the emperor immediately went over and escorted the man in black.
"Anle, you don't have anything to do!" Thyme asked worriedly.
An Le shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing." ”
The emperor directly ordered the guards to take off the hood of the man in black. I was surprised when I picked the thyme, it was really the third prince.
"The third prince, it is really the third prince of Western Xia."
The emperor said in a low voice.
As soon as this matter was troubled, Thyme was not interested at all.
"The emperor is a little tired today, and if he wants to go back and have a good rest, he will retire first." Thyme said to the emperor.
The reason why Thyme was in a hurry to leave was mainly because he didn't want to get involved in this battle between the two countries. (To be continued......)
