Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 336 She's actually a dancer! A female assassin!

Princess Lianfu's fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, as if she wanted to tear the woman in front of her to pieces.

Of course, she was now facing Gu Qingyue, so the emperor couldn't see her ferocious face.

After much hesitation, she finally uttered two words, "I'm sorry!"

Then he turned back, curtsied to the emperor, and walked toward his seat.

She hated Gu Qingyue to the core!

I also hate this half-brother of mine so much, for not standing up for me. How hateful!

Nian Yujiao's son is indeed no good!

Gu Qingyue nodded generously, not pursuing her perfunctory attitude; her ultimate goal had been achieved.

Only then did everyone come to their senses.

Many people don't understand why Princess Lianfu was picking a fight with Gu Qingyue, but Yue Zhiqi does.

His eyes were cold and sharp as ice, sweeping over Gu Qingyue before settling heavily on Princess Lianfu.

Gu Qingyue could naturally feel his unfriendly gaze, but was she afraid?

She looked up again and saw Mu Yun Chu's sharp, cold eyes looking at Yue Zhi Qi and the other person. Her heart warmed. She was also being cared for, wasn't she?

After Princess Lianfo's outburst, no one dared to mention having Gu Qingyue perform again.

The party continues.

As the music played, a group of dancers in colorful long dresses gracefully strolled into the main hall, finally restoring normalcy to the tense and awkward atmosphere.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

A moment later, graceful figures stood in neat rows in the center of the hall, dancing to beautiful music.

This gradually made the atmosphere of the banquet more peaceful and lively.

Gu Qingyue tilted her body, about to say something to her grandfather who was diagonally in front of her, when suddenly something unexpected happened!

A woman's voice, piercingly mournful, cried out: "You dog emperor! Prepare to die!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue thought she was hallucinating. She sat in her seat, dumbfounded, and exclaimed in disbelief!

An assassination attempt?! How could this be so thrilling?! This is my first time entering the palace and I'm already facing this?!

Gu Qingyue looked up and saw a figure in peach pink rushing towards the direction where the emperor was.

His movements were swift and agile; he was clearly a master!

Wow! She's a dancer! A female assassin!

Immediately, the hall erupted in commotion!

The crowd immediately erupted into chaos!

Seven or eight guards descended from the sky and stood in front of the emperor and empress, together with the guards behind the emperor, protecting the two in a tight, impenetrable circle.

At the same time, several princes immediately lined up in front of the guards, their speed astonishing!

As Gu Qingyue quickly protected Qin Shichao and retreated, she thought to herself: The emperor's sons are definitely all his own!

Look at their awareness and their ability to take action!

The next instant, more than a dozen women flew out from among the graceful dancers and began rushing toward the emperor's seat.

But after exchanging a few blows with the princes in front of him, he turned and attacked the ministers on his left and right.

Everyone scatter like birds and beasts!

The crowd was so dense that Gu Qingyue protected Qin Shi and retreated to the back of the dragon pillar on the side of the main hall.

Beside her, Liu Shi, her two daughters-in-law, and Hu Shi all desperately squeezed behind Gu Qingyue.

What Gu Qingyue found most unbearable was Liu Yingying's shrill cry from the crowd, "Third cousin! Third cousin! Quickly save Yingying!"

Gu Qingyue looked in the direction of the sound, and exclaimed, "Ha! Is that woman crazy? She actually tried to pull Gu Yuanming, who was protecting everyone, at this time?!"

Gu Qingyue's anger immediately erupted, and she gave Cui Shuming a look.

Cui Shuming stepped forward and delivered a karate chop, and the screams finally stopped in an instant!

Seeing Liu Yingying collapse limply, Gu Qingyue felt a sense of relief.

This ungrateful slut is good for nothing and good for nothing!

Then, Cui Shuming picked up Liu Yingying and threw her behind the crowd. With a 'thud,' everyone couldn't help but shudder; it sounded like she had fallen hard.

Gu Qingyue's lips curled into a sneer, "Aunt, keep a close eye on your niece, don't let her cause trouble!"

At this moment, Madam Liu had no time to pay attention to Gu Qingyue's mockery; she didn't even glance at Liu Yingying lying on the ground.

He kept hiding behind the male members of the Gu family.

Gu Qingyue didn't want to argue at the moment, and she looked ahead.

The four older brothers and several cousins ​​stood in front, blocking the people from the Duke's mansion behind them, and engaged in combat with the women who came towards them.

Gu Qingyue frowned slightly as she glanced at them and noticed that these women were all quite skilled, but the Gu brothers had defeated them in just a few moves, which seemed a bit too easy.

It seems they don't intend to launch a full-scale attack on this side.

Weird!

If they came to kill the emperor, why are there only three people in front of him?

Gu Qingyue looked up and saw that the three dancers were currently engaged in a fierce battle with Mu Yun Chu, their movements unpredictable.

Mu Yun Chu's dark figure swiftly weaved through the peach-colored figures, and in no time, the dancers all collapsed to the ground, dead.

The emperor's bodyguards had no chance to make a move.

So these women were clearly there to create chaos; their target was not the emperor at all!

As Gu Qingyue was observing her surroundings, itching to make a move, she happened to come face to face with Mu Yun Chu from afar.

He stopped on the steps, gently shook his head at Gu Qingyue, signaling her not to come out.

Gu Qingyue understood, clenched her fist, nodded, and simply protected Qin Shi behind her.

Suddenly, a woman's pitiful scream came from the direction opposite Gu Qingyue and the others.

It's Princess Lempud!

Gu Qingyue walked around the dragon pillar in front and looked across. There were at least five or six people fighting around Yue Zhiqi and Princess Lianfu.

Each move was fierce and ruthless; it seemed... Gu Qingyue narrowed her eyes. This was their target!

Princess Lianfu was clearly only a novice; a bloody gash had already been cut on her arm by a dagger, a truly shocking sight!

If it weren't for the Nanzhao guards protecting him, he might have already lost his life!

Gu Qingyue watched from afar, sighing repeatedly in regret! So close! Oh dear.

In contrast, Yue Zhiqi's moves were ruthless, sharp, and swift!

After observing for a while, Gu Qingyue realized that her current level was probably no match for him, which made her very dissatisfied.

It seems I need to intensify my martial arts training.

Among the Nanzhao delegation, one person shouted even louder than Princess Lianfu.

Gu Qingyue squinted and saw that it was Zhen Jinyue, the deputy envoy of the Nanzhao delegation. He was retreating in a sorry state, dodging the opponent's blade.

Looking at the situation over there, Gu Qingyue wondered who exactly wanted them dead.

A moment later, a large number of guards rushed into the hall and surrounded a group of dancers.

"Take it!"

The emperor, with a gloomy face, stood behind his guards, observing the situation in the hall.

He realized that those people weren't there to assassinate him at all!

As soon as he finished speaking, the dancers raised their daggers and committed suicide, cleanly and swiftly, clearly assassins.

Upon seeing this, the emperor's face grew even darker with anger!

"Commander Zhao! I need the investigation results within half an hour."

After saying this, the emperor turned and left.

"Yes," said Zhao Yuqian, the Imperial Guard Commander, bowing with trembling hands.

Once the emperor left, the crowd that had been huddled together on both sides of the hall finally came to their senses and began searching for their families.

Gu Qingyue looked around and saw seven or eight people injured and two dead, all far away from where Gu Qingyue and her group were.
