The new emperor now deeply understands that this is really the truth.

The two brothers recalled the bits and pieces that the Empress Dowager taught them, and the two brothers drank wine with tears in their eyes.

Concubine Hui and the others returned to their respective sleeping halls early on the grounds of being unwell. In the mourning hall, there were only the Queen Mothers of the East and West Palaces and Concubine Shu, and some concubines who walked very close to the Queen Mothers of the East and West Palaces on weekdays.

Looking at the current picture, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the person who was so beautiful in the past will eventually disappear into nothingness at the end of her life. As time goes by, people will forget her past achievements.

Li Jing sighed with emotion, the new emperor filled the wine for him, everything was kept silent, the two brothers drank without talking.

the other side

Cui Yuexi was already lying down to rest in the palace under the service of Huanyue and Jiaojiao, when she was in a daze of sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the back window.

"Huanyue..." She called in a daze, but there was no response, squeak, the window opened, Cui Yuexi opened her eyes vigilantly, and saw a few people in night clothes jumping in through the window.

Just as those people were approaching in the direction of Cui Yuexi, suddenly several hidden weapons shot in from outside.

The man in black hurriedly dodged, Xing Chuan and the others blocked Cui Yuexi tightly, but Cui Yuexi hadn't figured out what was going on.

Xing Chuan waved his hand at the crowd, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his thin lips parted slightly, and he spit out a word coldly.

"kill!"

Following Xingchuan's order, the men in black rushed to escape through the window. They thought that the defense in Li Jing's mansion was empty because the empress dowager was gone, and everyone's attention was on the palace. They never expected that this was just an illusion created by Li Jing to confuse them.

The few people who came here knew very well that it would be very difficult for them to escape today, and the leader could not help but sneer.

"We have been tricked, the monarch is trying to use Li Jing to get rid of us."

During dinner, the emperor of Haoyue Kingdom called several of their envoys together, and made a plan, that is, taking advantage of the empress dowager's funeral, they kidnapped Cui Yuexi, and once threatened Li Jing to let them go.

But when they saw Xing Chuan appearing, they understood that the kidnapping of Cui Yuexi was fake, and the King of Haoyue Kingdom was just thinking of using Li Jing to get rid of them.

They obviously came to pick up the King of Haoyue Kingdom, but secretly they had already taken refuge in King Qin.

"Even if you die here today, we will do our best to escort you away."

The rest of the people said solemnly, and the leader smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid that none of us can go back."

He figured it out, let alone whether they could escape from Li Jing's side, even if they were lucky enough to escape, there must be killers arranged by the King of Haoyue waiting for them not far away.

Since they are all destined to die here!
The rest of the people were very surprised. They couldn't understand why the King of Haoyue Kingdom did this. After all, he was now isolated and helpless in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Even if they didn't really submit to him, they were all from Haoyue Kingdom anyway, so why would he be so vicious.

"We were careless, and now we can only fight to the death."

After the words of the leader fell, Xing Chuan had already led people to surround them. Xing Chuan could hear their conversation clearly, and couldn't help laughing and teasing.

"It seems that you are still very foresight, so I won't explain it to you again."

Xing Chuan waved to the subordinates behind him, and the people behind rushed towards the people of Haoyue Kingdom.

The people of Haoyue Kingdom absolutely did not expect that there would be so many people ambushing Li Jing's side, and they knew very well that they would not be able to go back today.

But they are also strong men, and it is absolutely impossible to catch them without a fight.

The people Li Jing arranged to protect Cui Yuexi must be the strongest among the elite, and soon, several people from Haoyue Kingdom and the people they brought were captured.

They knew very well what kind of fate awaited them if they fell into Li Jing's hands. Rather than having their fate held in the hands of others, it would be better to die.

What's more, they are the envoys sent by Haoyue Kingdom. Since ancient times, the two countries have been at war, if they don't kill the envoys, if Li Jing really kills them, it can be regarded as torn face with Haoyue Kingdom.

Xing Chuan's people quickly subdued them and looked at them, and Xing Chuan also saw that they wanted to commit suicide, and he tapped their acupoints before they did it.

Xing Chuan winked at the subordinates behind him, and someone stepped forward to take them down.

He arranged for someone to send news to Li Jing, and then took them away.

Li Jing received the news from his subordinates, his eyes were full of understanding, he waved his hand calmly, and his subordinates left.

Knowing that Cui Yuexi was safe and sound, he was relieved, and the new emperor asked worriedly.

"Fourth brother, don't you need to go back and visit the fourth sibling?"

Li Jing shook his head, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, the palace has been properly arranged." The two brothers continued drinking and chatting.

In the palace, Cui Yuexi couldn't sleep completely because of what happened just now, she got up and sat down at the table, Huanyue brought her soothing tea, Cui Yuexi was still very worried after drinking it.

Not long after, Xing Chuan came back. Seeing that Cui Yuexi's room was still burning with candles, he walked forward and stopped at the door.

"Princess, you can rest in peace, the assassins have been taken down."

"understood."

After Cui Yuexi agreed, she got up and walked to the window. After seeing that Xingchuan was safe and sound, she was relieved.

"You guys should rest early, too."

Seeing the tired look on Huanyue's face, Cui Yuexi asked her to go down to rest.

"Princess, this servant is here to accompany you today."

As Huanyue said, she moved out the small bed from the side, and it was quickly made up, and Cui Yuexi did not refuse. After Huanyue helped Cui Yuexi to lie down, she also lay down.

While the two were chatting, Cui Yuexi suddenly remembered that Huanyue had been taking care of Xingbai with all her heart during the time she came here, even with her poor eyesight she could tell.

The master and the servant were chatting, and after an unknown amount of time, Huanyue saw that Cui Yuexi had fallen asleep, got up and extinguished the candle, and then lay down to rest.

When the sky was getting dark, Li Jing came back, and he went directly to the place where the envoy of Haoyue Kingdom was being imprisoned.

When Fang Fang saw Li Jing coming, he always had a haughty attitude.

"My lord, I don't know if you imprisoned us again, do you take the diplomatic relations between the two countries seriously?"

The envoy was neither humble nor overbearing, and looked at Li Jing firmly.

Hearing what he said, Li Jing couldn't help laughing mockingly. He walked to the chair, and his subordinates stepped forward to pull the chair away. After he sat down, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the envoy of Haoyue Kingdom.

"The envoy went to the mansion of the prince late at night, intending to murder the princess of the prince, have you ever thought about the issue of diplomatic relations?
