Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 378 Assassin
"I'm back!"

Zhu Zixin blushed when she was told, said hurriedly, then stepped back and sat back in her seat.

As soon as she sat down, Zhu Zixin felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She looked at him and met her eyes. Xiao Tiancheng smiled slightly. At this moment, he looked so calm. He hadn't seen him in half a year. There is a little more nobility and wisdom in the room, and a little less impetuousness. It seems that he is more like an emperor.

Zhu Zixin also smiled back at him. The two of them were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't need too many words and politeness.

"The emperor of Lu's horses and carriages must have been exhausting. Let's enjoy the singing and dancing first."

Seeing this, Nangong Xi said politely.After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhu Zixin intentionally or unintentionally, and said:
"Queen, are you still toasting the guests?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin glanced at him, raised his wine glass, and said to Xiao Tian:

"Zixin respected the Emperor of Lu Kingdom for a cup. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for saving my life! Although I don't say thank you for the great kindness, if I don't say it, it will appear that I am heartless! Don't you think so? ?”

"Empress Yue was joking, you and I are friends, why bother to say such polite words! Do it first and respect it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng stood up, raised his glass and said, after speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

This scene, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, seeing that both of them sat down, the Empress Dowager calmly withdrew her gaze, drank a few sips of tea, and continued watching the show.

She had a faint feeling that her birthday banquet today seemed a bit uneasy, and she always felt that something was going to happen. This morning, after she got up, her right eye kept picking, and it should not be on the emperor of Lu. Bar?

He looks tall and fierce, and he sent a head when he first arrived. He said he was an assassin, but whether he is an assassin is still open to debate. Now, he looks at the queen in a wrong way. It seems that she has to be on guard he's gone
Thinking of this, she hurriedly waved her hand and whispered to the maid beside her. After the maid left, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The only thing she can do now is to send people to hide at various exits, and also send two people to monitor Xiao Tiancheng in the dark. If they are lucky, if the Emperor of Lu makes any moves, he will be caught immediately Her people have insight!
If not, that would be great!

At this moment, although the Empress Dowager was watching the play, her heart was not on the play, and she kept praying secretly in her heart.I hope nothing goes wrong at today's banquet!
Nangong Xi was very quiet.

He sat in his seat well-behaved, looked at the table, and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, what was staged on stage seemed to be a birthday celebration show.With some mythological color, many gods of different shapes are paying respects to the Queen Mother.

A piece of singing and dancing.

Zhu Zixin looked at him involuntarily several times, and saw that he seemed to be fascinated by the drama and watched it very seriously.

It stands to reason that she should be glad that he doesn't cause trouble anymore.

But there is a faint trace of different emotions slowly spreading in my heart.Like the tide of water, it slowly spread to every corner of the body.

She was watching Nangongxi, but Xiao Tiancheng was watching her,
She was wearing a wine-red palace dress today, and she hadn't seen her for half a year. She looked much plumper and more majestic than before.Compared with before, she was a little more beautiful, with a strong feminine smell on her body.

When Xiao Tiancheng saw this, he had mixed feelings at this moment, but he couldn't express it.He moved his eyes to the stage in a daze, but he had no idea what was happening on the stage.

After a while, he slowly adjusted himself, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart: "It seems that she is doing well, so you don't need to worry about it anymore!"

However, deep down in his heart, he still wanted to know whether what Zhu Zixin showed in front of others was true, and if it was not good, he could still take him away!leave now!Therefore, he began to think about how to meet Zhu Zixin alone.If she is really doing well, he will accept his fate and stop pestering her. If she is doing badly, he will take her out of the sea of ​​suffering even if he fights it out.

Heh... However, the premise is that she is willing to go with him.But is she still willing to go with him?
Xiao Tiancheng glanced at Zhu Zixin unconfidently again, and saw that her expression was calm, and there was nothing unusual about her.

When he came to Yueguo, it was false to say that he was celebrating the birthday of the Empress Dowager, but it was true to come to see Zhu Zixin. At the beginning, he told Nan Gongxi that if Zixin regained her memory, if she chose herself, he would take her away. Now It is also time to ask this question. ..."

The program was constantly changing on the stage. However, after Colin searched the entire palace, he secretly told Nan Gongxi the result. After hearing this, Nan Gongxi's expression gradually became serious.

"what happened?"

Zhu Zixin noticed his change and asked in a low voice.

"The assassin is not alone, there are one or several others, it seems that they are premeditated!"

Nangong Xi also said in a low voice.

"How did Colin find out?"

Zhu Zixin asked suspiciously.

"Colin and the others found this."

Saying that, Nan Gongxi handed something in her hand to Zhu Zixin, Zhu Zixin took it and saw that it was like a small firecracker.

"what is this?"

she asked again.

"Flare! It's probably used by assassins to communicate with each other."

Nangong Xi said.

"Ah! What a pity, it would be great if Xiao Tiancheng didn't kill that assassin just now!" Zhu Zixin said.

"I guess, if he didn't strike at that time, I'm afraid that one of us here may die!"

Nangong Xi said.

"……Too."

Zhu Zixin understood and nodded.

"Then what should we do now?"

she asked again.

"You can't spoil Grandma Huang's interest. The matter of arresting the assassin can only be done in secret! I guess these things should be mixed in with foreign envoys at this moment."

Nangong Xi said.

"You mean, they are Zero Country, or Can Country...or...then, could it be that they have plans?"

The more Zhu Zixin thought about it, the more frightened she became, and said.

"Before things are clarified, it's not easy to make wild guesses. It's better to stay the same. I have strengthened my manpower, and I hope to catch everything at this moment!"

As Nangong Xi spoke, her brows furrowed again.

During this period, the sky gradually darkened, and Colin never brought any good news, which proved that the assassin never showed up.I don't know if he is aware of the strangeness here, or he has already lurked here, but no one has discovered it.

Therefore, during the whole feast, Zhu Zixin was very nervous. She glanced at Nan Gongxi from time to time, and at the same time, whenever she saw unfamiliar faces, she always had to observe them more.

However, no strange figure was found.

This feast lasted until Haishi before it ended.

During the whole process, although there were no accidents, but the banquet was over, but there was still no appearance at this moment. Zhu Zixin walked back from the imperial garden, but his heart still couldn't relax.

Touching the dagger in her boots, she settled down and put the dagger in her boots, just in case.It's been a long time since she fought against anyone, and I hope that assassin won't fall into her hands!
However, things in the world often backfire.

Zhu Zixin had just returned to Fengyi Palace when she heard a burst of noise outside, so she hurriedly said to Xiaocui:

"Go and see what happened!"

Xiaocui hurried away.

Zhu Zixin still paced around the room restlessly.

At this moment, suddenly, the candles in the room flickered. Intuitively, Zhu Zixin felt that there was an extra person behind her.

Zhu Zixin turned around suddenly.

At a glance, she saw a black figure standing five steps away from her.

"Who?"

Zhu Zixin let out a low exclamation, and at the same time, hastily kicked out the candle on the table.

She is in the light, and it is not good for her to be in the dark at this moment. Therefore, only if there is no candle, her chances of winning will be greater.

In the darkness, she dodged and hid.

"Oh! Zhu Zixin, you are really smart!"

When he spoke at this moment, he did not expect it to be a woman's voice.

Zhu Zixin was taken aback, she...she seemed to have heard her voice somewhere!

"You must be thinking, who is this person? You don't need to guess, let me tell you! That day, you stole my jade seal and ran away secretly. It turns out that you took a fancy to the throne of Empress Nangongxi. You said that your uncle If you can help me, it’s actually Yuxi’s idea, right? Zhu Zixin, you said you had a falling out with Nan Gongxi, but you didn’t expect your city to be so deep. I’m sorry that I was deceived by you back then!”

After hearing these words, Zhu Zixin finally realized that this person was actually Ji Meiren!
"Oh it's you!"

Zhu Zixin finally spoke!No wonder, in the daytime, she saw the woman behind the Emperor of the Ling country with familiarity, but she never thought of her. Now that she said it, Zhu Zixin understood.

However, she remembered that Ji Meiren didn't know martial arts, but this person didn't look like someone without martial arts.

"I'm sorry, I had no choice but to get the jade seal, so what? Your emperor's son can't be the emperor. You can only add a few corpses because of this! Why bother?"

Zhu Zixin heard the words and said.

Although she seemed to be wrong about this matter, she stole the jade seal first, and then killed the first emperor. Adding up these two crimes, she is not a good person!Therefore, although he said he was sorry, Zhu Zixin didn't think so in his heart.

Ji Meiren sneered, and said again.

"Because the jade seal was gone, I was thrown on the road by the guards of the Zero Kingdom. I was an orphan and widowed mother. I almost starved to death! Later, I went through many hardships and returned to the Zero Country. I exchanged all my property for this time. The opportunity to come to the Moon Kingdom by the emperor's side, if not for the belief in my heart that I want to seek revenge on you, would not have lasted until today. Zhu Zixin, you must die!"

As Meiji Ji said, she rushed towards Zhu Zixin. Zhu Zixin dodged, then turned to her back, and stepped on her back. Knowing martial arts, she was quite surprised when she stepped on her feet, and in a state of unpreparedness, she also fell heavily and did not get up for a long time.
