Zhuge Qing’s body stiffened, but he still did not turn his face around.
His throat moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak.
Wei Ting looked at him stubbornly, not letting go of any details. If it was just a test just now, he was sure now.
Before his second brother could reject him, he beat him to it. “I got the wrong person. You lost your memory. You’re a sacrificial soldier. You’re poisoned. Which is your line?”
It was not the first time he had caught one of his brothers and brought him home. He was an experienced Wei Little Seven. He had already learned to find excuses for his brother himself.
He would make his brothers speechless by saying their lines.
Zhuge Qing was indeed speechless.
After Mei Ji and the assassin finished dealing with those attackers, there were ten of them lying in ambush on the path to the east of the palace. An archer hid on the eaves and nine others hid in the alley.
They left one alive.
Mei Ji kicked that person’s shoulder. “You dare to assassinate Sir with this little ability? You are overestimating yourself! Tell me! Who sent you?”
The man bit through the poison sac in his mouth. His face twisted and he spat out black blood. He fell to the ground with a pained expression. As he fell heavily, a drop of black blood splashed onto Mei Ji’s shoe.
Mei Ji stomped her feet. “Ah! It’s so dirty! So dirty!”
The assassin glanced at her shoe. It was just a drop of blood. Women liked to make a fuss.
Mei Ji thought of something and suddenly stopped. She looked in the direction of the carriage. “There’s someone else in the carriage!”
“It’s that man,” the assassin said.
“Which one?” Mei Ji asked.
The assassin thought for a moment and chose his words carefully. “Your father-in-law.”
Mei Ji was speechless.
Mei Ji asked angrily, “Did you see that blind man enter Sir’s carriage? Sir wants to be alone. Why didn’t you stop that person? What if he hurts Sir?” The killer said, “Sir said not to touch him. So I can’t touch him.”
Mei Ji choked. “You…”
Zhuge Qing’s subordinates would definitely obey orders. Even if the order was for them to kill Zhuge Qing, they would not hesitate.
Mei Ji walked towards the carriage.
The assassin stopped him. “If I were you, I wouldn’t go over.”
“Why?” “A killer’s intuition. Sir is very happy.”
“Happy?”
Mei Ji blinked in confusion. Half of the curtain of the carriage had been shot off by the arrow. From her angle and that of the assassin’s angle, they could see the situation inside clearly.
“Sir is clearly in pain. Look at how tightly he is clenching his fists. His legs must be in pain again, and it’s even more painful than usual. His eyes are red. If he’s happy, what kind of fetish does Sir have?”
At this point, a thought flashed across Mei Ji’s mind, as if she had opened the door to a new world. “Sir… can’t it be the rumored… that he’s the sort who would light candles, tie himself to the bed, and get someone to whip him…”
The killer looked at her speechlessly.
What was going on?
In the Western Jin Imperial Palace, the banquet officially began.
The Western Jin emperor sat on the dragon chair with his empress beside him.
On the two seats slightly lower on both sides sat the princesses from the Great Zhou and Northern. They had been conferred the titles of Consort Ling and Consort Jing.
The Western Jin Emperor was not a promiscuous person. After hearing that the two new concubines had entered the harem, the Western Jin Emperor did not summon them to serve him.
It had to be said that the Western Jin was really good at power play.
It was not appropriate to marry the two princesses to any prince. One was Yuwen Huai, and the other was Yuwen Xi. Usually, they would cause a headache for the Western Jin Emperor. If there were two more princes with the support of Northern Yan and the Great Zhou, how chaotic would it be? Su Xiaoxiao and the three little ones sat down as guests of the Princess’s
Residence.
Su Xiaoxiao and Yuwen Xi were at the same table. The three little ones were originally at the same table as the young Princess of Western Jin, but they were attracted by Su Yuan’s candied hawthorn.
Among the three of them, one sat in Su Yuan’s arms, and the other two sat in the Old Marquis’s arms, licking the candied hawthorn.
The dance in the middle of the hall was peaceful. The dancers did their best, but more and more people were still attracted to the triplets.
There was no other reason.
Triplets were too rare, not to mention that they were so beautiful and cute.
They nestled in the arms of Su Yuan and the Old Marquis like three sticky rice balls.
The women’s eyes widened. The men also glanced at them from time to time. They felt that if they also gave birth to triplets, they would definitely be able to dominate the world..
