Although Empress Zhong didn’t know why Consort Lu was so good to an enemy country’s princess,
However, she admitted that what Yun Linzhou said made her a little tempted.
However, inviting Princess Yaoguang to the banquet was really a little risky.
After all, the emperor favored Consort Lu. No matter what she did, she would be forgiven.
However, Empress Zhong knew that she couldn’t learn from Consort Lu. If she took a wrong step, she might be punished.
She thought about it and rejected Yun Linzhou.
“Zhou’er, Mother feels that the situation isn’t set yet and there’s no hurry to express goodwill to Princess Yaoguang.
“Why don’t we wait and see what Consort Lu wants to do? We’ll wait and see when the time comes.”
The smile on Yun Linzhou’s face immediately faded.
He looked at Empress Zhong, the aura emitted from his body filled with oppression.
“Mother, don’t you know that time waits for no one? You’ve already lost to
Consort Lu many times, but you still want to wait to take a look this time?”
Yun Linzhou sneered slightly, his black eyes filled with undisguised mockery.
This stunned Empress Zhong.
To think that her son had such a sharp side to him.
For some reason, Empress Zhong suddenly felt that she couldn’t control this child.
Yun Linzhou said, “Mother, only by helping me can I be united with you without any concerns.
“Otherwise, I can only listen to Father more when it comes to the East Palace.
Mother, don’t you think so?”
Empress Zhong frowned deeply and looked at him steadily.
Yun Linzhou was actually threatening her!
He made it very clear.
If she didn’t agree to invite Princess Yaoguang to the banquet, then he wouldn’t let her place officials in the East Palace.
Anger rose in Empress Zhong’s heart, but she looked at Yun Linzhou’s fearless and deep eyes.
She knew that this child’s wings had hardened and his heart was no longer on her side.
It would be disadvantageous for Madam Zhong if she were to fall out with him.
Empress Zhong pursed her lips and smiled slowly. “Alright, since Zhou’er is so insistent, Mother will definitely satisfy your wishes.”
At this moment, a young palace maid ran over in a panic.
“Your Highness, bad news! His Majesty was a.s.sa.s.sinated on the way here!”
“What?!” Empress Zhong suddenly stood up. “Hurry up and call for the imperial guards to protect His Majesty!”
“They are already on their way!”
Empress Zhong quickly lifted the hems of her dress and wanted to follow.
At such a critical moment, she should accompany Ling Tianyin and let him know how good she was.
However, Yun Linzhou didn’t move. He said calmly, “Mother can go. I won’t go and cause trouble.”
Empress Zhong glanced at him and didn’t say anything. She nodded and left.
At the same time, Ling Tianyin was being protected by a few guards.
Three a.s.sa.s.sins in black stood in front of the guard.
“B*stard emperor, you dote on the demonic consort and kill the innocent. Today is the day you die!” The man in black held the hilt of his saber and roared angrily.
Ling Tianyin frowned calmly. “You guys can be considered capable to be able to lay an ambush here. I originally am someone who cherishes talents, but you guys are really talking nonsense.”
He waved his hand. “Capture them and tear them into pieces.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the guard moved, a hidden arrow shot out from somewhere.
It pierced through the heart of the guard who had just walked out!
The leisurely expression on Ling Tianyin’s face immediately disappeared.
He looked around. There must be accomplices hiding in the shadows of the pavilions.
It seemed that he was in the open and the enemies were in the dark.
“Useless emperor! You disregard human lives! Today, we’ll kill you even if we have to risk our lives!”
As he spoke, the men in black surrounded Ling Tianyin!
Before Ling Tianyin’s imperial guards arrived, he had already fallen into a dangerous situation.
Suddenly!
A black “object” was thrown out by someone.
It hit the man in black who was rushing over and he fell hard.
“Ouch!” The “object” let out a cry of pain..
