Chapter 1553: Foolish ruler in the way: How many times do you want to be assassinated? (Part 37)

And at another corner of the palace, the Mirror Moon Hall was very festive.

It was filled with tables covered in delicacies and wine, as well as various performance troupes invited from outside the palace.

Yue Cai Zhi was sitting on the high platform and around it were the various harem girls who kept whispering about her.

“Today is the emperor’s birthday and he ordered Wen De to not make it extravagant, but I feel that we should spend this important day with the emperor, right?”

She had invited these people for only one reason: To show off.

Show off her status in Lin Nan Yi’s heart and show off everything she had.

After this banquet, she wouldn’t need to worry about Lin Nan Yi liking some harem girl.

Because she knew that other than the captured princess, there was no one that had a higher status in Lin Nan Yi’s heart.

“Miss Yue is absolutely right.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

The emperor wasn’t here yet, so this banquet felt like a trap for them.

“The emperor still isn’t back yet?”  Yue Cai Zhi knitted her brows and asked the maid beside her.

“This servant went to the Supreme Harmony Hall and Wen De said that the emperor left the palace in the morning, he still hasn’t come back yet.”

“Go again.”

“Yes……”

She knitted her brows and revealed a dark look in her eyes.  She had made all these preparations, if Lin Nan Yi didn’t come to the Mirror Moon Hall today, it would all be wasted!

“Right, you can start the Pacifying West King plan.”  She said to her confidant behind her in a low voice, “Be fast, don’t let people be suspicious.”

“But miss, the Pacifying West King…..didn’t go to the Hidden Book Pavilion…..”

“What?”  She said in a surprise as everyone turned to look at her.

She revealed a smile, but she quickly adjusted her voice to say, “What is going on?”

“The Pacifying West King has returned to the Cold West Hall, he didn’t go to the Hidden Book Pavilion.”  The maid also lowered her voice to say, “I’ve heard that the Pacifying West King had people bring a large amount of wine and went drinking alone in the Cold West Hall.”

When Yue Cai Zhi heard this, her heart trembled and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

There were some things that she never owned and there were some things that she always lost.

Since Lin Dong Xue didn’t want to take her ‘good intentions’, she would…..give it to someone else to enjoy!

“Find two other men now, they can’t be eunuhs.  No matter what methods you use, do it quickly……”  She bit her lip and said, “The rest will follow the original plan.”

-

Hidden Book Pavilion.

“Ah!”  Luo Qing Chen gave a yawn and rubbed her eyes.

It’s been an hour and Lin Dong Xue still wasn’t here, could it be that he had forgotten!

Luo Qing Chen put her cheek on her left hand and tapped the table out of habit with her right as she muttered to herself, “This ancient era isn’t good.  If it was the modern era, I would have already called him and scolded him!”

The people who didn’t keep their promises were the most hateful!

“Si.”  There was a soft sound and she seemed to have heard something.

Three seconds later, she suddenly looked up and covered her mouth with her right hand, taking out the Phoenix Dance Sword.

There was only a ‘kacha’ sound as all the doors and windows were instantly locked.

Some unknown smoke came in and the entire Hidden Book Pavilion was filled with this smoke.
