“What you’re doing...”

The Empress whispered a sinister plan to the Second Prince, and the Second Prince’s eyes lit up.

“This method is good. Your son will do it now.”

The cruelty in the Empress’ eyes disappeared, and she returned to her indifferent appearance.

“Go; this widow will recite the Diamond Sutra to help the divine doctor.”

The Blue Mountain Meet was lively. Not only were there wrestling performances but there were also singing and dancing performances. The dances of the Tartan Kingdom weren’t as exquisite as those of the Great Xia Kingdom, but the men were mighty and majestic, and the women were cheerful and enthusiastic. The people watching were also infected by happiness. Su Qing didn’t know that the Empress and the Second Prince still harbored evil intentions.

Xiaoying and Luan Hong looked at the men and women dancing unrestrainedly below the stage and could not help but shake their bodies to the rhythm of the music. Their hands also followed the beat of the music. The dance of Tartan was effortless and only had a few movements. It was straightforward to learn. They wished that they could dance with them.

Just as she was thinking about it, a girl from Tartan came over and invited them to dance with her. Xiaoying and Luan Hong looked at Su Qing with sparkling eyes.

“Sister Su Qing, can we go dancing?”

Su Qing saw the two girls’ eager eyes and smiled.

“Go, have fun.”

Mo City was too boring. There was no such lively scene. Let them go and relax. It was rare to come here.

Xiaoying and Luan Hong stood up from their seats with Su Qing’s approval. They joined the dance team with the girls. They had been watching for a long time. They started to dance quickly to the rhythm of the music. Their movements were not bad as they danced around the bonfire with everyone.

The Third Prince’s eyes were fixed on Xiaoying. When he saw the bright smile on Xiaoying’s face, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

Xiaoying was extremely happy. She felt even happier. Although she didn’t know how to sing, she still shouted with the dancing girls around her. Luan Hong had a bold personality, so she was even more unrestrained when she danced.

Her voice was even louder than Xiaoying’s, and she was so happy she was about to fly.

Two girls from Tartan came over to offer Hada to Su Qing. One held a bowl of horse milk wine and sang a toast song as she handed the wine to Su Qing.

Su Qing knew that this was the etiquette of the Kingdom of Fatality. She took the horse-milk wine and imitated the way the people here drank. She tapped her finger and flicked it three times in the air, ready to drink the wine. She lowered her head and asked the girl to put on the hada for her.

Su Qing looked down at the horse milk wine in the bowl. Because the horse milk wine was milky white, it was not as clear as the wine Su Qing brewed, so she could not see any clues. However, as soon as the wine reached her mouth, she smelled a medicinal smell that did not belong to the fragrance.

The girl who was toasting Su Qing sang with all her might. A pair of eyes in the lively crowd stared at Su Qing, anxiously waiting for her to drink the wine.

Su Qing’s expression turned cold. She raised her head to look at the old Emperor sitting on the throne. The old Emperor smiled at her and even raised his wine cup to toast her.

Su Qing stood up and grabbed the woman singing with all her might. Under her panicked gaze, she opened her mouth and poured the bowl of horse milk into her mouth. The woman struggled with all her power, but Su Qing’s hands were like iron pincers, and she could not break free. The entire bowl of wine was poured into her mouth.

Su Qing’s actions stunned the Emperor, the Third Prince, and everyone present. What was going on? Did that woman offend her?

In Tartan, if one did not drink a toast, it would be disrespectful to the host. Moreover, not only did Su Qing not drink the wine, she even forced it down the person who was toasting her. This could be seen as a challenge to the host. The old Emperor’s face instantly darkened.

The Third Prince stood up and wanted to help Su Qing out of the predicament. He bowed to his father and said,

“Imperial Father, Miss Su is drunk and doesn’t understand our etiquette. Imperial Father, please don’t blame her.”

When the old Emperor heard his son’s words, his expression improved slightly. It was understandable that the people of the Great Xia Kingdom did not know the rules of toasting, let alone a girl. n.-OVelbIn

However, what happened next shocked them. The woman who was forced to drink by Su Qing was bleeding from all seven orifices. Her fingers were bent like cat claws, and her body was stiff as she fell to the ground.

Su Qing looked coldly at the Third Prince and the Emperor, her eyes filled with killing intent. Her low cold voice was like a cold wind blowing,

“Is this how you treat your guests? Treat me to poisoned wine?”

The Third Prince and the Emperor were both shocked. The Third Prince quickly walked over and turned the poisoned woman over to examine her carefully.

She had indeed been poisoned to death. Moreover, it was a potent poison that killed her immediately.

“Men, take her down.”

The Third Prince ordered people to arrest the woman who offered the hada.

The woman waved her hand repeatedly and said she did not poison them. They were only here to give the hada to the distinguished guests.

“Miss Su, I’m sorry. We didn’t do a good job in safety.”

The Third Prince didn’t listen to the girl’s explanation. He cupped his fists and apologized to Su Qing.

Su Qing looked at his eyes carefully and saw that the Third Prince’s eyes were open and did not seem to lie. The old Emperor had ordered people to guard everyone present and not let a single one go.

The happy crowd instantly turned into panic and chaos. Xiaoying and Luan Hong were squeezed in the middle by these people and could not get out.

A man took advantage of the chaos to squeeze past Xiaoying and Luan Hong. He had a sharp knife hidden in his sleeve.

When the Third Prince saw Xiaoying being squeezed in the middle, he didn’t bother apologizing to Su Qing anymore. He stood up and ran towards Xiaoying.

At this moment, the Third Prince also saw a man approaching Xiaoying with ill intentions.

“Xiaoying, dodge, dodge.”

The Third Prince shouted at Xiaoying. Xiaoying heard him, but she could not move because of the crowd.

” Be careful of that man.”

The Third Prince saw she couldn’t avoid him, so he tried to push through the crowd and squeeze towards her. At the same time, he reminded Xiaoying loudly. When Xiaoying heard this, she also saw the man squeezing towards her with a fierce expression.

She calmly raised her hand and shot a sleeve arrow at the man. When they came, Su Qing had given her and Luan Hong a sleeve arrow just in case. She didn’t expect it to be used.

Xiaoying was pushed back and forth, and she fell to the ground. The sleeve arrow shot at such a close distance was mighty, piercing deep into the man’s forehead. The crowd became even more chaotic when they saw that someone had died.

If Xiaoying fell, she would be trampled to death or seriously injured.

Luan Hong’s side was not any better. There was also a man who attacked her with a knife. Fortunately, when the knife came, someone pushed Luan Hong away. The person who pushed Luan Hong away blocked the blade for her and protected her by her side.

Luan Hong was so scared that her entire body stiffened. She couldn’t see his face, but she could smell the strong hormones on his body and hear his strong heartbeat. She wanted to break free, but the man’s arm was strong and protected her. There was a difference between men and women.

The scene was a mess. More than ten men in black descended from the sky, holding machetes in their hands as they charged toward the old Emperor. When Su Qing saw Xiaoying in danger, she leaped up and stepped on the shoulders of the crowd as she ran towards Xiaoying..
