The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 64 Assassination

The palace maid bowed and said with a smile: "The maid's name is Mengyao, and she is a female official sent by the Shang Palace Bureau to serve the beauty this afternoon, so Your Majesty saw it strangely!"

Li Longji saw that she had a pretty face, she really didn't look like a servant, and her appearance was no worse than that of a master in the palace, so he asked: "Where is the maid in charge?"

Mengyao replied respectfully and politely: "The female official was punished fifty times for taking the treasures in the palace for private use, and kicked out of the palace! The Shang Palace Bureau sent slaves here when they saw that there was no one to serve the beauties!"

Li Longji nodded and said: "Eloquent and clever, being the maid in charge of the palace can be regarded as wronging you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" Meng Yao knelt down and kowtowed, and stepped aside in a polite manner.

Wang Meiren was still sobbing in Li Longji's arms, Li Longji said: "Don't cry, get up and tell me, what did the imperial doctor say?"

"What can the imperial doctor say, it's not just those old excuses!" Wang Meiren stood up tearfully, looked at Li Longji and said aggrievedly.

Li Longji said: "What happened to Qing?"

Wang Meiren put her arms around Li Longji's neck and said in a trembling voice: "I came back and thought about it. I always felt that when I fell into the water today, a water ghost caught me, so I was afraid. It was fine during the day, but I was even more afraid at night!"

Li Longji pinched her face, with dry powder on his fingertips, and said: "Look at your talent, well, I will be here with you tonight!"

Only then did Wang Meiren lose her fear, and said in a charming voice: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with you by my side, I will not be afraid of anything!" She said with a charming smile, and undressed Li Longji.

Seeing this, Mengyao smiled and rubbed two petals of benzoin into the incense burner, blew out the red candle, and retreated gracefully.

As soon as he left the house, he turned into a serious face, and told the servants in the palace not to keep watch tonight!Because she was the maid in charge, those lower-level officials wanted to sleep well, so they went to sleep happily without even thinking about it!
Mengyao looked back at Li Longji who was about to sleep in the room and sneered again and again.

The sound of rain outside the hall was drizzling, and thin drops of water dripped along the cracks of the tiles onto the gray-white stone bricks of Xingqing Palace. Not only did such a small sound of rain not disturb everyone's sleep, but it made them more drowsy.

Li Longji was half covered with the cloud silk brocade quilt, and lying in his arms was Wang Meiren, who was also sleeping soundly. Although the benzoin in the inner hall had been burned out, the faint smell did not dissipate, and it was still slowly cruising in the air. .

"Yeah!" Li Longji turned over and unconsciously put his arms around Wang Meiren's slender waist. It was such a rainy night, and every time he heard such drizzle, Li Longji would wander in a nightmare that he would never wake up from.

On the same rainy night a few years ago, he personally plunged the Qingfeng sword into the chest of her mortal enemy, his aunt Princess Taiping. The bright red blood spread rapidly, staining his long sword red, and Dye Taiping's eyes red.He won that coup d'état, won in an aboveboard manner, and won the support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.But it left an indelible shadow on itself!

From then on, he became suspicious.

If someone finds out that he can't even trust his own relatives, how can he not be suspicious?In order to cover up the desolation and indifference in his heart, he often smiles gently, making everyone think that although he is an all-powerful monarch in court, in life he is just a idle son who loves music.

Because of Princess Taiping's arbitrariness, he hated proud and domineering women more and more. He would never forget his aunt's expression before she died. Those red eyes stared at him fiercely, and her blood-stained lips kept cursing: For the rest of my life , alone!

joke!This was my most sincere thought at the time. Don't talk about my majesty in the world, even if I am not the Ninth Five-Year King, with my unparalleled handsome posture, I will attract countless women. How can I be lonely all my life?

But when he demoted Concubine Li who deceived him because of fighting for favor, and bestowed death on Zhong Baolin who framed her for revenge... He was horrified to find that Princess Taiping's curse seemed to come true!Maybe he can want the bodies of many women, and because of his power, he can ask them to be obedient and greet him with smiles, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't get their sincerity!
"No! There must be someone who really loves me!" Li Longji's breathing gradually became difficult, his dream was shattered, and he just repeated this sentence in his mind repeatedly.

Fenglu...Feng Lu, a sudden flash of inspiration reminded him of this gentle woman.Yes, she really loves me!I will not be alone forever!There are still people who really love me!He would also smile happily in his dreams.

Does she really love me?Do I love her?Why don't I have that heart-piercing feeling?No impulse to live and die for her?How is this going?Li Longji fell into the chaos of dreams again, and the heavy nightmare was about to overwhelm him and he couldn't breathe.

"Hurry up! What are you waiting for!" At some point, two unidentified maids sneaked into the palace, and they walked quietly to Li Longji's bed. A palace maid in black looked at the lights outside the palace while urged in a low voice.

Although the voice is small, it cannot be questioned.

"I..." Another court lady closed her eyes, tremblingly put the rope around the neck of the sleeping man in front of her, and gradually tightened it.

Li Longji's breathing became rapid, and his fingers pressed against the bed convulsively.

The black-clothed palace lady who was on guard looked nervously outside the hall, fearing that at this moment the Jinwu guards from outside the hall would rush in and ruin her event!
The rain kept falling outside the window, and it seemed that it had no intention of stopping. Suddenly, the sky suddenly brightened, and a thunderbolt tore apart the gray sky, as if hitting everyone's heads through the window.

"Ok!!--"

Li Longji woke up from the nightmare with a muffled groan. In an instant, all the characters in the dream like Princess Taiping and Fenglu disappeared like smoke. With the faint light brought by the thunderbolt, he was surprised to find two black figures in front of him, strangled by ropes. own neck!
"You!" Li Longji spat out a few words from his throat with difficulty, but he couldn't use any strength in his hands!How is this going?I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have never had such a time!
Wang Meiren also woke up from the dream, frightened and frightened, and pushed them away desperately, while shouting: "Come here! There are assassins!"

Seeing this, the two panicked at the same time, the woman in black hurriedly covered Wang Meiren's mouth, and shouted: "Quick! Quick!"

The maid didn't dare to disobey her order, but she was so frightened that she burst into tears, and in a panic, she tied another knot on the rope—it became a dead knot!

Li Longji was panting, exhaled a few times, and his mind suddenly cleared up. Although he didn't know why his hands and feet were still weak, he still tried to adjust his internal breath, and with a sudden push, he successfully pushed the maid into the table and chair , bloody.With a backhand, he hit the black-clothed palace lady on the back of the head, knocking her out.
