Chapter 153 - Assassination
The late emperor stood up and respectfully said, "Thank you, your majesty." Her eyes inadvertently looked at Qin Luofei, who was currently speaking to the Beauty Zhang beside her in a low voice.
Emperor Yun looked at the late emperor and said: "Even royal brother can't stay at Little Brother Ling's place for long. We will call for someone to arrange a new residence for you."
"Thank you, your majesty." The late emperor remained respectful, but Qin Luofei could clearly see the uncontrollable rage in his eyes.
It must be hard for an emperor, once so high and mighty, to one day bow down to others.
Emperor Yun put down the cup in his hand, turned his head and looked at Qin Luofeng, saying in a low voice: "Let's see if you ate or not the whole night. If you're tired, you can go back and rest first."
Qin Luofei shook her head. He knew that the Emperor Yun was going to make a move and let him leave first. But no matter what happened, she would have to stand by his side and endure it together with him. Perhaps she wouldn't have this opportunity in the future.
Seeing that she was adamant, the Emperor Yun did not try to persuade her further.
"Your majesty, thank you for being so good to Luofei. Luofei is truly unable to repay you in any way. Let me toast Your majesty." Qin Luo Fei raised her cup. She was going to let him down for the rest of her life.
Emperor Yun looked at her lovingly, then laughed: "Why are your words so sweet today, I am not used to it."
"Your majesty, you're so annoying." Qin Luofei glared angrily at Emperor Yun, causing him to laugh loudly once again.
When Ling Wang saw this, his eyes dimmed.
Those few female singers' dances became even more beautiful, causing everyone to feel intoxicated from watching them.
Among them, the leading singing girl, Man Wu, arrived beside the late emperor. She stared at the late emperor with a pair of watery eyes that captivated his soul.
Qin Luofei saw the killing intent in Emperor Yun's eyes and couldn't bear it anymore. If he were to know that his assassination attempt would definitely fail, would he be disappointed?
Although he didn't know the subtlety of the situation, he had forgotten who his opponent was. The late emperor was very scheming, how could he be so easy to deal with? The fact that he could come out in broad daylight meant that he had planned everything.
In his previous life, he was that kind of person, and in this life, he was still the best.
"Your Highness." The singing girl picked up the wine cup from the short table in front of the late emperor and held it in her hands, giving it to the late emperor.
The late emperor's eyes were filled with smiles as he stared at the beautiful singing girl and downed her drink in one gulp. This caused the crowd to feel envious. Only Qin Luofei would not be fooled by his appearance.
The singing girl's smile became even more charming. As she raised her second glass of wine, she threw her other hand into her sleeve and pulled out a dagger as she shouted, "Die! I want to avenge my parents!"
No one had time to react. Just as Ling Wang was about to help, the late emperor had already dodged to the side. Immediately after, the dancers behind the singing lady also took out their treasured swords from their sleeves, and rushed towards Emperor Yun in unison.
Emperor Yun was startled, his mind instantly overturned, as he looked at Emperor Xian with a sharp gaze.
Qin Luofei suddenly stood up, stood in front of Emperor Yun to block, and was pulled behind him. How could he allow the woman he loved to block a blade for him? He was not that man.
The Emperor Yun's gaze had always been focused on this matter. Seeing that Qin Luofei was actually willing to block the sword for the Emperor Yun, his eyes immediately became sharper, and his hands became more and more merciless. How could that singing woman be his opponent?
That singing woman's martial arts were strong, but what she didn't expect was that the singing girls behind her would assassinate the current emperor. That wasn't the arrangement of the guards.
"Protect the Emperor." It was unknown who shouted, but everyone finally reacted.
Those singing girls all held a soft sword in their hands. This kind of sword could easily be hidden inside the sleeves and body, but pulling it out was better than using daggers.
The guards were outside the palace and rushing in. After all, they were a step too late. Those singing girls did not care about the others, they only wanted to attack the Emperor Yun.
Emperor Yun was alone, and had to take care of Qin Luofei who was behind him.
"Sister." Ling Wang watched on from below as Qin Luofei's situation was filled with danger. Just as he was about to charge upwards, he was stopped by the other singing girls.
In order to assassinate the previous Emperor, Emperor Yun had removed all of the guards in the palace, which had actually harmed him.
Qin Luofei had already known that such an outcome would occur. How could the Emperor Yun be his match?
In the blink of an eye, the Emperor Yun was already surrounded by danger.
These singing girls all had powerful martial arts. It was as if they weren't afraid of death as they rushed up. They looked like death warriors that were raised by some people. This thought flashed past Qin Luofei's mind.
Emperor Yun hugged Qin Luofei with one hand, while dodging. The worst thing was that he did not have a weapon in his hand, so he suffered a lot from it.
It was a little too slow to dodge. A sword slashed across Emperor Yun's arm, making Qin Luofei's heart jump in fear.
"Your Majesty, if you let me go, you will lose your life." How could Qin Luofei let him die for her? She could not bear such a crime.
However, the Emperor Yun had been keeping Qin Luofei in his embrace the entire time, and he could see that the late emperor, who was below him, was getting more and more angry and resentful.
"Your majesty, hold on. This subject will come to save you immediately." Emperor Xian killed the two palace maids beside him without batting an eye and rushed to the side of Emperor Yun.
Seeing that the late emperor was approaching, not only did the Emperor Yun have to protect Qin Luofei, he also had to deal with the palace maids and the late emperor.
Those singing girls were very smart. Seeing that the Emperor Yun's martial arts were profound, they couldn't help but attack, so they aimed their treasured swords at Qin Luofei at the same time, not holding back at all.
Emperor Yun was in an increasingly dangerous situation, and he was almost injured by the treasured sword a few times.
A large number of guards rushed in from outside the palace, the swords in the hands of the singing girls became even sharper, and just as they were about to stab onto Qin Luofei's chest, Emperor Yun turned to protect his master Qin Luofei, but he himself was pierced on the back by the treasured sword.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Emperor Yun let out a stuffy snort. Qin Luofei felt something hot spray on her face.
"Your majesty, your majesty."
Emperor Yun clenched his teeth and turned around, his sword piercing towards the singing lady, killing her. The other singing girls were also surrounded by the guards.
The Emperor Yun gasped for breath as he looked at the previous Emperor approaching him, his lips curled up in a smile, and he said fiercely: "I am not like some people, even if I were to die, I would not use my beloved woman to block him, definitely not."
The late emperor looked at Emperor Yun who had a look of disdain on his face. The person he actually liked was her.
"I'm going to take what you care about the most. She brought it for you. "Why did I betray you? It's because I don't like you. I don't like you using a woman to stand in front of you and make a woman cry for you. Although this throne is dirty, you don't deserve it. This throne." Emperor Yun whispered into the late emperor's ear.
The late emperor looked at his younger brother, whom he had always doted on.
Before he went to battle, they had agreed that he would fake his death, lure out the Imperial Advisors, and destroy them. However, after his expedition, his army was ambushed, and he himself was being hunted. He knew that his beloved younger brother had betrayed him.
He actually still dared to ascend to the throne, and even continued to send people to kill him. Even at this point, he still dared to assassinate him. Despite knowing that it was impossible for him to win, it turned out that he wanted to avenge that woman.
"I just don't understand why she would be so foolish towards you. She doesn't even look at anyone, and even I can't get a single glance from her.
Yet you didn't treasure her at all, and even threw her into the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. How could you bear it?
She likes you so much that she can give up her life for you. What qualifications do you have to make her like you so much? You owe her so much that you'll never be able to repay her in a lifetime.
For her, I will be with you until the end, don't even think about taking back this throne so easily. I will make you waste all the warriors you have hidden in your hands, I will use my life to waste you.
I also know that you will be able to take back this throne sooner or later, but I assure you, this is definitely not the time.
After Emperor Yun had said so much, he could no longer hold on. Qin Luofei stepped forward to support him.
Qin Luofei's eyes were filled with tears, she could not bear to look at the Emperor Yun anymore.
She already knew that the her that he spoke of was Empress Leng, her past life.
She had thought that the late emperor was very strange to begin with. He had actually discussed this matter with the Seventh Prince and decided to fake being killed, and lured out the master of the country to destroy him. However, she hadn't expected that the Seventh Prince would betray her and her ascension to the throne, which also explained why some of the Seventh Prince's actions were so preposterous, such that they didn't even listen to the words of the empress dowager.
Why was it that there was no trace of him in her memories of her past life? Perhaps she had seen him before, but at that time, there was only that person in her heart.
Yet for her sake, he was willing to sacrifice his life to betray his own brother. Just to let him have a taste of the loss of the throne, how would she repay him?
If time had changed, she would have known that she would have followed him as an imperial concubine, better than her current fate.
"Royal brother, you …" Emperor Xian did not finish his sentence. Just as he wanted to extend his hand, Qin Luofei stopped him.
"Your Highness, please go back! Your Majesty's concubine will take care of him. "
Emperor Yun panted heavily. His eyes were half infatuated as he leaned on Qin Luofei's body.
"Hurry and call the imperial physician, hurry and call the imperial physician." Xiao Linzi loudly shouted from the side as he reached out his hand and Qin Luofei to support Emperor Yun to the back of the hall.
Emperor Yun looked at the lady beside him and asked guiltily: "Will you forgive me?"
The person he had loved was her, and what sort of feelings he had for her.
"Your majesty, chenqie will only feel that Your Majesty is a loyal person and that Luo Fei will only respect you in her heart. She will absolutely not be unhappy in the slightest."
Emperor Yun nodded reassuringly, and tightly held Qin Luofei's fingers.
Qin Luofei and Xiao Linzi helped the Emperor Yun to lie down on the bed. More than a dozen imperial physicians already ran in from outside in a fluster.
"Greetings to Concubine Qin."
Qin Luofei waved her hand and said anxiously, "Milords, hurry and show the Emperor that the blood has been flowing."
"Yes, concubine." The royal physicians were all flustered. The one injured was the emperor. If anything went wrong, they would have to move even if they caused so much trouble.
"Milords, hurry up! "The one injured is the Emperor. If anything happens, our heads will have to move." Xiao Linzi also lost his usual calm.
