At this moment, the person standing on the roof saw that he had been seen through, so he no longer hid himself and rushed into the inn with the person outside.

Seeing that the man in the tavern had turned into a woman, although they were startled, all of them did not have time to be curious as they rushed towards Soong Xuan who was kneeling at the side.

Although Soong Xuan had a despotic personality, she didn't have the time to protect herself. At this moment, she was already prepared to die.

After a long time since she felt no pain, Soong Xuan could not help but slowly open her eyes, only to see that the few of them had long fallen to the ground in different positions.

Looking at Hu Xiao who was standing beside them, Soong Xuan did not do anything. Soong Xuan had experienced Hu Xiao's capabilities before, so she thought that Hu Xiao would just stand there and watch him die.

"Come on, I was in the wrong for what happened today. Meeting by chance is fate, so let's forget about the unpleasant things from before."

Hu Xiao saw that there was less fear in Zhi Lan's eyes and couldn't help but to ask.

It had been a long time since there was such a woman that fit his needs, and Hu Xiao couldn't bear to see such a pitiful look on Soong Xuan's face.

"Thank you, Empress, for your understanding. The next City Lord's Mansion is still having a feast, and the streets are bustling with people. How about you go to the little girl's place first?"

Soong Xuan said when she saw Hu Xiao feeling tired.

"En, that's good too. Zhi Lan, you can go back first. I will be back in a while."

Zhi Lan nodded.

In Liu City's Song Manor.

The mansion had a long, carved corridor with rows of servants. It was even better than the Mayor's mansion.

"Our Song Manor is the richest in Liuzhou City. Today, father has brought his wife to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the banquet, but there's no one in the mansion right now. First, let me bring you to my room to change."

Seeing that Hu Xiao was still wearing her men's clothes, she could not help but say this.

After all, he already knew that Hu Xiao was a woman.

She did not stay in the Song Palace for long, Hu Xiao merely wanted to watch Soong Xuan enter the Song Palace. Although most of the assassins had already been killed by Hu Xiao, she was still worried, because if she met with a few fish that escaped the net on the way back, the consequences would be unimaginable. Those that were saved with great difficulty, naturally had to be good people until the end.

"No need. Since you've made it back to the Song Manor safely, I'll return."

With Hu Xiao's status, it was naturally not good to stay outside, and upon seeing this, Soong Xuan did not urge him to stay any longer, as the sacrifice would take a few days, she was not in a rush, there would be more chances in the future.

At the City Lord's banquet.

Ever since Hu Xiao left, the dancers went even further, one cup after another, welcoming him.

Yin Fufeng had been tipsy for a long time. In his heart, Yin Fufeng was secretly anxious as he saw Qin Shuo's blurry eyes. He pinched the Zhao Qiyan who was seated uneasily at the side.

"Go and save His Majesty. With your hulking appearance, as long as you go up and shout at those dancers, they'll naturally be afraid of you."

"What?" You! "You!"

Zhao Qiyan saw that his good friend had plotted against him again, but he was already impatient, when Zhao Qiyan saw that the dancers were about to touch Qin Shuo's body, he could not help but glare at them, in his heart, Qin Shuo was the Son of Heaven, how could he allow these people to taint him?

Seeing that, without waiting for Yin Fufeng's urging, he anxiously walked up.

"Go, go! The emperor doesn't need your service. Don't taint this general's eyes!"

Everyone here knew about Zhao Qiyan, so they thought that if Qin Shuo had fallen for them, they would be able to enter the palace to become their masters. But seeing how disgusted Zhao Qiyan was, most of them did not have the guts to do so, and retreated.

"Your Majesty, you drank too much. This humble subject will send you back to rest."

Seeing that Qin Shuo was already powerlessly leaning on the side, Zhao Qiyan stepped forward and supported Qin Shuo, wanting to bring him away.

Seeing that, Yin Fufeng anxiously followed.

The contents of the banquet were all the same, the children of the influential families were trying their best to win the attention of the court officials and Qin Shuo. All of these things that were attracting the attention of others felt that it was extremely boring.

Seeing that the majority of the people were already drunk, Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng supported Qin Shuo and left, leaving the banquet.

"Alright, I'm not drunk."

After exiting the front hall, Qin Shuo anxiously stood up from Zhao Qiyan's body.

Seeing that Qin Shuo's expression was different from his previous blurry look, Zhao Qiyan gradually relaxed as well. It seemed that Qin Shuo did not like those banquets either.

Seeing that Qin Shuo had nothing to do, the two of them left.

Pushing open the door, the familiar figure on the bed made Qin Shuo slightly startled.

A woman dressed in red lay on the bed. Qin Shuo had seen Hu Xiao dressed in red before, and it was extremely enchanting on her body.

"Heh, did the empress think it through and come to offer herself up?"

Qin Shuo was extremely familiar with Hu Xiao's character, she definitely would not be able to come to his bed, but the red figure in front of him was extremely familiar, could it be that Hu Xiao was jealous when she saw those dancers sticking on his bed?

Could it be because he was jealous that he left the banquet so early? And then come to his room and wait?

He thought he had guessed what Hu Xiao was thinking, and with a smile he walked over to the person on the bed.

Initially, they thought Hu Xiao was shy, but when they entered, the strong smell of fatty water powder immediately caused them to be dissatisfied. Hu Xiao had a faint medicinal scent on her body, and had never smelled anything like this before.

If he was just jealous, he wouldn't be like this.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qin Shuo went forward and flipped the woman over. It really wasn't Hu Xiao!

Qin Shuo suddenly felt a sense of loss, and looking at the man on the bed who had such a charming look, he felt even more annoyed.

"Wei Shi! Throw this woman out for me! "

Hearing that, Courtier Wei anxiously ran in, Qin Shuo had never been so rude to girls before, so he did not dare say anything else and quickly dragged the woman who was kneeling out.

"Your majesty, your majesty, spare me!"

The woman hurriedly said as she saw the guards surrounding them.

Initially, when she saw Hu Xiao wearing the red clothes, a look of shock flashed across Qin Shuo's eyes, she thought that Qin Shuo had gotten drunk today. With the red clothes and the aphrodisiac spices that were burning in the house, the lady in red thought that she had made sufficient preparations, but somehow, something went wrong.

"Drag her out and gag her."

Courtier Wei saw that the lady was still speaking nonsense and quickly replied.

After all, she had followed Qin Shuo for so many years, so she could naturally tell that her master was feeling extremely terrible right now.

"Let's go, let's see what the empress is doing right now."

The person who was leading Qin Shuo remembered Hu Xiao.
