The dust settled.

Those responsible for cleaning the scene and cleaning the corpses were already moving quickly. In just a few breaths, they had already cleaned up most of the place.

The Empress Dowager looked at Su Xia Yue lovingly, his smile was as if the bloody assassination attempt just now had never happened. With such a calm demeanor, even the emperor turned his head in surprise.

It could be seen how important an old lady was to her life.

However, this kind of old lady who loved living a great life actually started to mess around.

"Little girl from the Su Family, this one knows that you are extremely talented, and that's why you can become the Principal of the Hundred Herb Hall Academy. However, you are a woman after all, so you want to marry someone else. What do you think about the Eighth Prince?"

Su Xia Yue's brows slightly twitched, his expression somewhat cold and mocking.

Because of the assassination, the Second Prince had been sent to prison, and the Empress's strength had been greatly reduced. Empress Dowager, who had always been at odds with the empress, could not wait anymore and had already thought of a way to rope him in.

However, a marriage alliance?

She would never compromise.

"Xia Yue is still young, let's talk about this matter in the future!"

"You!"

Empress Dowager's face changed, the ruthless aura released, as though he was going to erupt at any time. The Eighth Prince beside Empress Dowager had an even uglier expression.

This was not the first time Su Xia Yue had rejected him.

Facing the anger of Empress Dowager and the others, everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Su Xia Yue.

However …

Just at the moment when everyone was silent, Nan Gong Ling Yun spoke out.

"Yue Er is indeed not bad, just that, this humble subject had already proposed a betrothal gift to Su Family a few months ago, I'm afraid that this Han Dynasty has not had a precedent of being a female servant or second husband, right?"

"The betrothal gift has already been given?"

Empress Dowager's face was filled with disappointment. There was even a hint of complaint as she turned her head to look at Eighth Prince, and said to Xuan Yuan Pei Ting in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? This has caused This Dowager to lose face here! "

"Royal Grandmother, I don't know about this either. Maybe the Ling Wang made this up?"

"Alright, alright, stop mentioning it." The Empress Dowager waved his hands tiredly, completely devoid of interest.

He stood up and went back to rest with the support of a few palace maids.

The emperor, the empress, and the others all came in one after another with heavy blows. Since they were not in the mood to stay any longer, they gave the order to disperse.

The prime minister's sons and daughters who had left one after another, all sat on the carriages.

Before Chi Luo Sheng and Mu Rong Qing even got close to Su Xia Yue, Nan Gong Ling Yun was already standing next to him in a domineering manner. That intimidating aura was such that it seemed that in a radius of a hundred miles, as long as there was a male, it could be killed.

Chi Luo Sheng quickly extended his hand to stop Mu Rong Qing: "This Nan Gong Ling Yun is extremely powerful, so I suggest you not to offend him."

Mu Rong Qing frowned, he did not listen to Chi Luo Sheng's advice.

Just as Mu Rong Qing's footsteps slightly moved and was about to approach Su Xia Yue, he immediately saw Nan Gong Ling Yun's left shoulder move slightly.

"Hua!"

A ray of black light suddenly shot out, and Mu Rong Qing immediately felt a huge force coming from his chest.

The strength behind the blow was so great that it was like a sandbag weighing a thousand pounds smashing down on him. He was immediately knocked back several steps. If not for Chi Luo Sheng stepping forward in time to support him, he almost would have fallen to the ground.

Mu Rong Qing pressed his hands tightly against his chest, his long brows knitted and his face a little pale.

A first stage Martial King!

He never thought that Nan Gong Ling Yun had actually already reached the level of Martial King! At his age, this was simply impossible!

It was unbelievable!

By his side, Chi Luo Sheng also revealed a look of astonishment, but after that, he shook his head as though he had expected such an expression.

He leisurely said, "See, I told you not to mess with him, but you wouldn't listen. Luckily, he only used three levels of power, otherwise you would have become a corpse by now."

Hearing this, Mu Rong Qing's face became gloomy. Those eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. He glared at Nan Gong Ling Yun for a long time before snorting helplessly. Then, he turned and left.

Su Xia Yue turned his head to look at this scene. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.

After all, in terms of strength, everyone could not do anything about this Nan Gong Ling Yun.

Not knowing why he was following him like that, Su Xia Yue slightly frowned as he looked at Nan Gong Ling Yun.

"What are you trying to do?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun smirked and said unhurriedly: "Of course it is to reveal the answer to our third bet from before."

After Su Xia Yue heard this, he revealed a slightly surprised gaze. He did not know how to expose the truth behind what he had just said.

At this moment, the soft sound of horse hooves could be heard.

Nan Gong Ling Yun immediately pulled Su Xia Yue and hid behind the wall.

Behind the palace walls, the two of them were very close. The tip of his nose was filled with the aura of the other party. The aura made Su Xia Yue's body heat up and he couldn't help but want to struggle.

"Let go."

"Shh!"

Just as Nan Gong Ling Yun finished making a silent gesture, he saw that on the main road of the imperial palace, a carriage was slowly approaching to pick him up.

It was still the same carriage driver who had brought him and the Xiao E into the palace. He had come here again to wait for the carriage to take him back to the Su Palace.

The coachman, seeing that no one was around, suddenly turned away and walked furtively towards a corner of the palace.
