Empress’ Conquest - C118
“Humph!” How could you be so afraid of a mere Chu Jian? We are two different people! ” If he hadn’t come to the Imperial City with the Pavilion Master, he really wouldn’t have had the chance to meet him again! It was even more impossible for him to know that he and Dong’er were actually a pair! It seemed like the reason why the little girl had survived after being hit by her purple hand was because of Jian Chen!
“What are you going to do?” The White Tiger curled its lips, disagreeing with the Azure Dragon’s words. However, since the Pavilion Master had issued a decree, it had to complete the mission no matter what!
“Luring the tiger out of its lair! White Tiger, I’ll lure Chu Jian away later. You’ll take this opportunity to kidnap Dong’er! “Remember, you must not kill her!”
“Why?!” “Pavilion master means …”
“I know!” It’s just that I want to end a grudge from many years ago. Don’t worry, Dong’er will definitely die, but she will definitely die by my hands! “If you are brothers, promise me!” The pair of black eyes stared fixedly at the White Tiger, and there seemed to be a trace of pleading in their eyes!
“No problem!” See you at the temple in the western suburbs! When should we make our move?! ” Ever since they met, the White Tiger had never heard of the Azure Dragon begging anyone!
“Now!” Before his voice could fade away, two figures shot through the crowd …
The Drunken Wind Dining Hall could be said to be the most luxurious inn in the imperial city. No matter what time it was, it was filled with guests.
“Young master Chu!” What brings you here? It’s been a while since I’ve seen you here! “Please come inside!” The waiter used a slick language to get Chu Jian to the innermost room of the second floor!
When the waiter saw Chu Jian Chen sitting down in the private room with her hand still on the lady’s arm, she naturally understood what was going on and could not help but open her mouth to say something …
“Young master Chu!” You haven’t been to our restaurant for a long time, so you probably don’t know that there’s a new female chef who specializes in making ‘boudoir’ dishes! Favorite! Would you like to choose a few dishes for this young lady? ”
“What’s’ boutique ‘?” Chu Jian couldn’t help but look over at Dong’er. Seeing how curious she seemed, she asked her a question.
“It’s a dish specially made for women. However, her dishes are very particular. Each dish has its own nutrition instructions. It’s specially made for women!” The waiter’s introduction was very general, but it attracted the great interest of Chu Jian.
“Alright, let’s order all the dishes on the menu!” “Go!” Chu Jian didn’t even notice the shocked expression on the waiter’s face. Instead, she turned her head to look at Dong’er!
“All… All!? Can you eat it? ” The waiter couldn’t help but speak out
“This is the first time I’ve invited a friend to dinner! It’s rare for her to come out. Since you said that those dishes are good for a girl’s health, I think she should try them all and stop nagging! “Go quickly!” Chu Jian gave a gentle wave of his hands to indicate for the waiter to leave, before turning around to smile at Dong’er’s widened eyes!
“What is it? Not enough? Then I’ll ask him to come in and order some more! “How about it?”
“No, no!” Aren’t they too many? I’m afraid we can’t eat! Furthermore … A lot of silver… “I didn’t bring that many …” Dong’er’s voice trailed off, and she looked embarrassed. Originally, she wanted to invite Big Brother Chu for this meal so she could specifically thank him for saving her life last time!
“Ha!” I have it! Dong’er … In the future, if you like anything, you must tell me and I will buy it for you! “How about it?” Chu Jian slowly drew closer to Dong’er. She wanted to say what she felt, but he was afraid that it would scare her, so she could only try her best.
“No need ~ I don’t need anything!” A few days ago, Big Sister Biloxi even gave me a lot of jewelry! They were all very beautiful! Big Brother Chu, you and Big Sister Bi Xuan are so good to me, I don’t even know if I can repay you two in this lifetime. If there’s an afterlife, I still want to be your little sister! ” Dong’er smiled. His face was filled with sincerity!
“Sister?” Chu Jian Chen swallowed her words back as she looked at Dong’er in confusion. In his heart, was she really the eldest brother Chu?!
Seeing the confusion in Jian Chen’s eyes, Dong’er was afraid that he would not believe her, so she quickly said,
“Yeah!” In my heart, you are like my blood brother, and Sister Bi Xuan is like my blood sister! “Hmm …” Big Brother Chu? Are you okay? ” Seeing that Chu Jian’s eyes had dimmed, Dong’er asked worriedly.
“Ugh …” Nothing! Brother by blood! As long as Dong’er is happy! ” Chu Jian’s heart felt as if it was pressed down by a huge rock, making him unable to breathe. It seemed like wanting Dong’er to fall in love with him as much as he did would not be an easy thing to do!
At that moment, the waiter walked in and handed the items over to Chu Jian.
“Young master Chu, there’s a young master outside who wants me to pass this to you, and he said he’s waiting for you outside. He has something to say!” The moment Chu Jian took the object from the waiter’s hand, the blood in her body seemed to freeze. His hand tightly gripped the eagle token, and her gaze turned cold, emitting a bone-chilling hostility. Her lips unconsciously pursed into a blade-like arc! This was a sign from his master, and his master treated it as if it were her order. She had even said that the card was with him, and she would die if she lost it! Dugu Yuan! You beast! With that thought, Chu Jian suddenly stood up!
“Big Brother Chu …” Seeing how excited Chu Jian was, Dong’er couldn’t help but worry.
“Dong’er!” “Wait for me …” Before he could finish, Chu Jian had already left the room!
Miss, please take a seat. I’ll go out and see if your dishes are ready!” Hehe … “Ahh!” Seeing that Chu Chen had left in anger, the waiter thought that something was going to happen. Just as he was about to go tell the shopkeeper, someone suddenly appeared in front of him. Before he could see the person’s face clearly, he had already been slashed in the throat!
“Ah ~” Seeing that blood was splattering everywhere, Dong’er was so frightened that she was about to cry out for help. The white tiger appeared in front of Dong’er and clapped its hands twice, placing Dong’er on its shoulders. Then, it placed a note on the table and left the inn, heading straight to the Western District’s temple!
When Chu Chen arrived at the inn, she looked around but did not see Dugu Yuan. Her heart was shocked and she had a bad feeling. She immediately turned around and returned to the private room, but she had already left!
Chu Jian’s face paled as she slammed her fist onto the table. His heart felt like it was being pierced by needles and was in extreme pain. If something were to happen to Dong’er, he wouldn’t forgive his even if she were to die.
Chu Jian unfolded the letter. He could not be more familiar with the handwriting …
‘Dong’er is in my hands. If you want her to be safe, come to the temple of the god in the western suburbs today to reminisce about old friends–Dugu Yuan! ‘
Dong’er …” Dong’er … “Yiaaa yiaaa yiaaa yiaaa yiaaa yiaaa!” Chu Jian’s face grew heavy as she let out a furious roar. She tore the paper in her hand into pieces, her entire body trembling from excitement! In the next moment, Chu Jian flashed out of the room and ran into a woman in a simple dress. She ignored her and headed straight for the city’s temple!
“Chu Jian Chen …” As he gazed at the familiar figure that he hadn’t seen for a long time, the woman in white couldn’t help but be stunned there. His eyes were filled with tears as the menu in his hand dropped onto the ground with a bang! Initially, he thought that she had escaped from death and looked down on everything. However, when she looked back at him, she realized that although she no longer thought of it, she had never forgotten it!
The sun had already set before people had realized it. The clear moonlight spilled down. The clamor and restlessness of the secular world seemed to be slowly melting under the moonlight!
In the main hall of Bin Hua Palace, eunuchs and palace maids were walking in and out of the hall, busily arranging the banquet that was about to begin. The hard wood and carved pear wood table was filled with goldjade artifacts, exquisite porcelain was filled with jade nectar, and the delicious delicacies on the table made one salivate.
This banquet was comparable to the bewitching dressing of the palace masters. As time passed, the imperial concubines arrived at the Bin Hua Hall dressed up as one by one.
Among them, the most eye-catching was probably Su Manhe!
Her hair was pulled down in a low angle in a jade pearl hairpin. Her eyebrows were beautiful and her lips were red. Two scarlet golden butterflies hung on each side of her face, shining brilliantly. As she walked, she swayed like a rose blooming on a winter’s night.
The green and red color was deliberately done by Su Man He, the red symbolized the nobility, she, Xu Bi Xuan, could openly wear the red dress with the phoenix hairpin, and she could do the same herself! Furthermore, she had the intention to show her strength to all of the consorts attending the banquet!
As soon as Su Manhe entered the Bin Hua Palace, he saw the side seat beside the main seat. One of the reasons she came early was because of it! After Su Manhe took her seat, Zhen Fei, Yin Yuerong, entered. Compared to Su Manhe, Zhen Fei’s dress was a bit more ordinary!
If Su Man He was dressed too orthodox, Yin YueRong’s makeup would be much more normal.
The light green palace robe, though simple, had an extra ethereal quality to it. The wide skirt stretched behind her back, making her appear elegant and luxurious, her black jade like hair was simply tied up into a bun, a few plump and smooth pearls randomly dabbed at her hair, making her cloud-like hair appear even more soft and smooth, her beautiful eyes flowing with splendor, and her red lips rippling with a faint smile!
As she approached the Bin Hua Palace, the first thing she saw was the alluring red Su Manhe. The smile on Yin Yuerong’s face was still the same, but what she got in return was Su Manhe’s scorn! However, Yin Yuerong didn’t care. She had also heard about the things that happened in the Yu Xiang Pavilion a few days ago. The current Su Manhe was different from the last time. From her red dress, one could tell how unconfident she was!
Yin Yuerong found an empty seat and sat down, and Lian’er followed after her! At this moment, Yin Yuerong finally discovered that Little Peach Blossom was no longer by Su Manhe’s side. She couldn’t help but think in her heart. It seemed that tonight’s banquet wouldn’t be as peaceful!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Bin Hua Hall was filled with people. Only Xu Bixuan had not arrived yet!
In the middle of the hall, a dozen or so dancers, who had a slim figure, spread out their dresses and danced gracefully.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Murong Che, he turned to look at Eunuch Li who was behind him …
“Where’s Imperial Consort Xu? Didn’t you pass on my dictum? ” Leng Ao Tian frowned, his lips moved slightly as he asked in a low voice.
“How would I dare!” Or perhaps this servant went to urge him on, perhaps something was delayed? ” A sheen of sweat appeared on Eunuch Li’s forehead. Could it be that Senior Servant Feng had forgotten?!
“Go! Come back! I don’t blame her for her soft tone! If you misunderstand, be careful of your head! ” Leng Aotian pulled back Eunuch Li, who had just taken two steps out, and repeated the order!
All of this was clearly heard by Su Manhe, who was sitting at the side. She was so angry that she clenched her teeth. She had originally thought that Leng Ao Tian would be unhappy because of Xu Bi Xuan’s lateness, but she never expected that not only did he not blame her, he was not even willing to say a few harsh words! Good, good, good! Icily arrogant sky! The deeper you love, the more jealous you will be!
At this moment, Little Tao Hong walked from the side door to Su Man He’s side …
“Dong’er has been killed by the Azure Dragon!” When Su Man He heard this, her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but flash with a trace of light, and the corner of her mouth wiped out a trace of strangeness! Xu Bixuan, if you knew about this, would you still respond calmly to my attack? However, Su Manhe’s complacency caught Yin Yuerong’s attention …
