It was just that, during the entire banquet, Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing's mood was not very good.

The feast ended neither early nor late. When everyone had left the palace, the streets outside the palace were still as lively as day. The fireworks in the sky were dazzling, brightening up the entire night sky.

In an abandoned yard in the capital, a group of mysterious martial artists had gathered together. They seemed to be plotting something.

"We lost several of our brothers in the assassination attempt. We must find a suitable opportunity tonight and complete the mission."

"Yes."

"Also, according to the orders from the higher-ups, it isn't important to kill Yan Yuan, but … Princess Tian Xin must definitely get rid of her. This time, we definitely cannot leave empty-handed. "

"Yes, Big Brother!"

After the palace banquet, Liu Ruo Qing left the palace first. When she thought about how Yan Yuan had embarrassed himself in front of so many people for Pang Yue Qiu's sake, she felt extremely depressed.

She did not immediately return to the King Jing Palace, but instead went for a stroll alone on the streets.

The palace banquet didn't have a maid by her side. At this moment, she didn't even have anyone to talk to. She just blankly stared at the lively crowd on the street while sighing and sighing.

"I wonder if Master is enjoying his life alone today."

She looked at the bright moon in the horizon and whispered. Her words were filled with an unconcealable melancholy.

In the past, she had accompanied her master for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although there were only two people, their lives had been really happy.

The restaurant in front of them was packed with customers even though it was already past New Year's Eve.

This was because the restaurant was at the edge of the moat. Looking down from the window, the scenery on the surface of the river was breathtakingly beautiful.

Liu Ruo Qing walked into the restaurant and sat down by the window. Looking out through the window, there was a sea of lights below, and the men and women were still happily putting the lotus lamp in their hands into the river, praying that they could be picked up by their beloved one.

Looking at the lanterns in the river, Liu Ruo Qing was in a bit of a trance.

Princess, you write down the prince's name and put it in the river to see if the prince will get your lamp.

Xiao Yue's words suddenly swept past her ears, causing her fingers, which was placed on the table, to tremble. In her mind, at that moment, Yan Yuan's cold face flashed past.

Shaking his head, he withdrew his gaze from the window and coincidentally saw the waiter warmly greet him.

"Miss, what would you like to eat?"

"Give me a jug of good wine and a few of your signature dishes."

Master, your disciple will have a holiday with you here.

While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Liu Ruo Qing continued to look outside the window. In the next second, her eyes lit up, "Shen Qin?"

She saw a slender woman standing by the river with a lotus lamp in his hand. He stood hesitantly by the river and had been pushed away from the river a few times.

"So this guy has someone he loves. No wonder she had a difficult expression on her face when she participated in the Kaiser's competition for the Hundred Blossom Banquet."

She tapped her fingertips on the table and muttered to herself with a smile, "I wonder which young master Shen Qin has taken a fancy to."

"Miss, your dishes are all served."

The waiter placed the wine and dishes in front of Liu Ruo Qing, and after greeting him enthusiastically, he left.

After the waiter left, Liu Ruo Qing poured herself a cup of wine and brought it to her mouth.

The wine cup suddenly stopped by her mouth. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the waiter, "Second brother."

The waiter immediately came to greet her. "Miss, what are your orders?"

"What wine is this?"

When she asked this question, many pairs of eyes in her surroundings instantly focused on her body. Their hands lightly pressed down on the swords and sabers that she had placed on the table.

The instantly congealed atmosphere around him made Liu Ruo Qing smirk without batting an eyelid. She only heard the waiter reply enthusiastically and proudly: "This is our shop's treasure, a beauty personally brewed by our boss, it's drunk. Young lady, try it, I promise you that you'll come again after drinking it."

"Drunk women?"

Liu Ruo Qing squinted her eyes, and looked at the wine cup in her hand with an appreciative gaze. After a while, she laughed: "Your name is pleasant to listen to, and your fragrance assails the nose. Just this aroma alone, I know it's good wine."

"Thank you for the praise, young lady. If you have no other instructions, I will be leaving first."

"Alright."

After the waiter left, Liu Ruo Qing used the corner of her eyes to scan every table on the first floor without batting an eyelid. She then finished all the wine in the cup in one gulp, "It really is good wine."

She licked her lips and praised sincerely.

As for those Jianghu people who saw her drink the wine, their tensed nerves finally relaxed as they continued to sit quietly and drink the wine.

However, her gaze was still fixed on Liu Ruo Qing. She only watched her drink the wine in front of her one cup after another.

Liu Ruo Qing admired the beautiful scenery outside the window as she knocked on the window in a satisfied and rhythmic manner.

After a long while, she stood up from the table. "Waiter, the bill."

"Thank you, young lady. It's two taels in total."

After Liu Ruo Qing handed the silver over to the waiter, he stood up and went downstairs. From the corner of her eyes, she looked at the people who stood up following her.

Liu Ruo Qing also did not react as she continued to walk down the stairs step by step, slowly walking into the crowd.

The people behind her continued to follow her closely. Since they were on the street and didn't want to attract attention, they didn't dare to make a move immediately.

In any case, the woman had already consumed the bit they had added to the wine, so it would be fine to delay her actions.

However, Liu Ruo Qing was worried that they would take advantage of the chaos and hurt the commoners on the streets, so she led the way to a place with fewer people, and that just happened to fall into their hands.

However, the injury on her shoulder had yet to be healed, so she could only end the battle as soon as possible. If the battle dragged on for too long, she would surely be the one to suffer.

When they arrived at the neighboring street, there were significantly fewer people than on the main street. By going through this street, they would be able to return to the King Jing Palace after a short detour.

She didn't know the identities of these people yet, but they definitely knew who she was. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much effort to poison her in the morning.

It was clear that these people were more anxious than her. After all, if she continued to delay, she would be able to return to the King Jing Palace.

The footsteps behind her were getting faster and faster. Several martial artists descended from the eaves on both sides of the road, surrounding her in a circle.

"You're here?"

On Liu Ruo Qing's face, there was not the slightest bit of panic.
