After drinking his own wine, he snatched the cup from Xiao Yunxi's hand and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing that they are so affectionate as a husband and wife, Xiao Cong was so happy that he stood up and toasted.

"Now, the enemy of the emperor has been eliminated, and the empress is about to give birth to a dragon heir for you. It is really gratifying. I would like to take this cup to wish the emperor and empress happiness and happiness, and hope that the empress will give birth to a prince for the emperor in the near future." , that is really a joy for everyone!"

"Hahaha, Father Xiao is absolutely right!"

Because it was a family banquet and there were no outsiders in the hall, the emperor called Xiao Cong 'Father Xiao' without hesitation.The eunuchs and court ladies only regarded him as the emperor and regarded him as his father-in-law, but they didn't even know the real meaning behind the "Father Xiao".

Back then, if Xiao Cong hadn't secretly helped him, he wouldn't have sat on the Dragon Throne one day.So, on the surface they are monarchs and ministers, but in private, he treats Xiao Cong like his father.Naturally, there is another very obscure reason in it.It is undeniable to say that Xiao Cong has his 'handle' and even his 'lifeline' in his hands.Of course he can't neglect it.Otherwise, if this 'loyal dog' turns to bite him one day, the loss outweighs the gain...

"Come here, I will offer you fine nectar and jade liquid. I want to have a drink with Father Xiao to the fullest today!"

A eunuch walked into the hall with his head bowed and a tray in his hand.On the tray are exquisite wine cups.

It is a supreme honor and favor for the emperor to bestow wine, Xiao Cong has no reason not to drink it.Reaching out to take the wine cup, Xiao Cong said with a smile on his face, "I drink first as a respect!" After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank it down.

At this moment, an accident happened suddenly.A cold light flashed in the eyes of the waiter who was attached to the wine cup, and suddenly he turned his hand over, and there was a sharp dagger under the tray!Holding a sharp blade in his hand, he stabbed at the emperor with a cold light.

Xiao Yunxi screamed in surprise.Rong Bao, who was closest to the emperor, immediately shouted, "There are assassins, escort, escort quickly!"

But when everyone reacted, the killer had already raised his knife and stabbed the emperor.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

At the critical moment, Xiao Cong jumped up, pretending to rescue the emperor because of his duty as a courtier.In fact, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos and give the killer a better chance to get rid of the emperor with one blow!

Xiao Cong jumped up high, thinking that his movements would never be as fast as that killer.But at the moment when he jumped up, he suddenly felt his whole body go limp.At the same time, the emperor's feet were also moving rapidly, hiding in his direction.

When Xiao Cong landed, the emperor had already dodged behind him, and the killer's sharp blade was already in sight.

"No, father!"

Xiao Yunxi covered her mouth, unable to believe what she saw.Xiao Tianxiang, who came here with Wei Wei the moment he got the news, couldn't believe his eyes.

Why did it become like this?This was clearly his father's plan, but why was he himself the one who was assassinated in the end?

Just when everyone was astonished, the emperor kicked the killer away.Then he grabbed Xiao Cong's gradually weakened body from behind, and shouted loudly, "Father Xiao, Father Xiao!"

Because the killer rushed over with the intention of killing the emperor.Therefore, the knife stabbed straight into the heart, but there was no mercy at all.

Wei Wei took down the killer, and the hall was in chaos.

The emperor hugged Xiao Cong's body and shouted anxiously, "Send the imperial doctor quickly!" It seemed urgent, but when he lowered his head to look at Xiao Cong, his eyes behind the cold mask were filled with a triumphant smile.
