Usually, Yan Qiu was surrounded by a large group of people. Only during the wedding ceremony, Xuanchen and the others were not allowed to enter. This was such a good opportunity for them to make a move.
Apart from the unreliable assassins led by their boss, the other group of assassins were obviously more professional and powerful. Xuanchen and the others were unable to free themselves from their clutches.
Yan Qiu did not say that he wanted to leave, so Shi Sheng allowed him to sit there. Whenever an assassin came, he would kill them in a few moves. Soon, there were several corpses piled up in front of Yan Qiu.
"Retreat!"
Perhaps seeing that there was no hope, the assassins who wanted to kill Yan Qiu retreated first. When the other assassins saw that the people here had retreated and saw that more and more people were coming in from outside, they immediately retreated as well.
The chaotic scene gradually calmed down. A good wedding had turned into such a mess.
"Quick, check if anyone is injured."
"Search everywhere in the residence."
The people from the Ninth Prince's residence hurriedly ordered people to take the frightened guests away. Soon, only a small group of people were left in the wedding hall.
Yan Luan walked out from the crowd with a pale face. She went straight to Yan Qiu and questioned, "Seventh Brother, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Yan Qiu looked up without a change in his expression, "Ninth Emperor, what explanation do you want from me?"
"What were the assassin and Hong Jin talking about?" Yan Luan pointed at Shi Sheng, "Is she in cahoots with the assassin? Also, Seventh Brother said that you didn't know her. Why is she beside Ninth Brother now? Shouldn't Seventh Brother give me an explanation about her assassination attempt on me? "
Back at the city gates, Xuanchen had denied that she wasn't someone from the Seventh Emperor's Manor. However, not long after, she had appeared by Yanqiu's side, and he had swaggered her away. She didn't believe that the assassination attempt on her had nothing to do with her Seventh Emperor brother.
"Is this the assassin who went on a killing spree at the city gate? She really has something to do with the Seventh Prince … "
"Sigh, I also saw her talking to the assassin. The Seventh Prince is becoming more and more lawless. If he becomes the Crown Prince, the Yan Kingdom will be finished."
"This kind of person should be arrested. Arrest her … Hurry up and arrest her …"
Those who had not left started to respond.
Yan Qiu stood up, and his golden robe spread out. His gaze swept across the people present. He didn't say anything, but everyone felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them.
The man's entire body was covered with a layer of frost, and the laziness on his face had long disappeared, leaving only a gloomy ruthlessness. "Ninth Imperial Brother said that she tried to assassinate you. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Yan Luan intended to shed all pretense of cordiality today. She said directly, "At that time, there were so many people at the city gate. She admitted it herself. Seventh Imperial Brother, you won't cover for her, right? Or was it you who instigated the assassination? "
"Hmph, Ninth Royal Brother, you think too highly of yourself. Are you worthy of me making a move?" Yan Qiu was obviously angry. She sneered coldly, "Do you think you can hide your little tricks from everyone? Think about it carefully. Who is it that wants to kill you? "
Yan Qiu started to walk away. He took two steps and realized that Shi Sheng was not following him. He turned around and scolded him, "What? Do you still want to plead guilty here?"
Shi Sheng shrugged innocently. How could you vent your anger on someone else?
Yan Qiu snorted coldly. Who asked you to cause trouble for me!
Don't you know to cover your face if you want to kill someone?
"Stop!" Yan Luan shouted loudly and said firmly, "Seventh Imperial Brother, if you can't give me an explanation for what happened today, don't blame me for poking my father. Today is my wedding with Princess Ning Huan. My father will not sit by and do nothing."
Yan Qiu looked at Yan Luan with ridicule in his eyes, "I wish Ninth Royal Brother all the best."
Yan Luan's pupils shrank slightly. He took advantage of her father's favor and did not put them in his eyes at all …
Yan Luan knew since she was a child that Yan Qiu was favored. All the princes in the palace could not compare to him. Before she found out that she was different from the other princes, she was jealous of Yan Qiu.
He could play around in front of her father and ask for anything he wanted, but they could not.
When she found out that she was different from the others and realized that she was a girl, she began to feel afraid and uneasy. She was afraid that she would be exposed. Her mother told her that if she was exposed, they would all be killed. The crime of deceiving the emperor was a capital crime and they would be beheaded.
Therefore, she did not dare to show any talent in front of her father. As long as it did not cross her bottom line, she would endure it.
But her Seventh Imperial Brother always went against her.
He clearly had everything. Why did he still target her?
Yan Luan could not see through and did not understand.
…
After leaving the residence, Yan Qiu got on the carriage with a cold face. Shi Sheng grabbed the edge of the carriage and jumped directly into it under Xuanchen's horrified gaze.
Yan Qiu glanced at him and opened his mouth. The words' get out 'turned into a heavy snort.
Shi Sheng sat opposite him. Seeing that he was not thrown out, Xuanchen did not ask and went back to the residence.
The carriage shook. Yan Qiu ignored Shi Sheng and sat in the back, closing his eyes to rest.
"You don't seem to be as favored as the rumors say."
Yan Qiu suddenly opened his eyes. The air seemed to freeze. He stared straight at Shi Sheng.
"Am I right?" Shi Sheng was not impressed at all. He grinned, "Do you live a hard life?"
Yan Qiu was silent for a moment. He retracted his gaze and closed his eyes, ignoring her.
Suddenly, he felt something heavy in his arms. She leaned on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'll pamper you in the future. I'll pamper you with this vast land."
Yan Qiu's heart clenched, throbbing with pain. Strange images flashed through his mind.
He was a little confused and his heart palpitated.
It was as if he had found a treasure.
He slowly reached out and hugged her waist, pulling her into his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder and removed his fake mask, leaving only fatigue. "I'm very tired, very tired."
"Every day, I feel like I'm living on the edge of a knife. I'm bleeding non-stop, but I can only move forward like a puppet. I can't make any mistakes. Otherwise, what awaits me is an abyss of eternal damnation. I don't want to admit defeat, but I'm really tired."
Shi Sheng struggled for a moment. He raised his head and looked into Yan Qiu's eyes. His eyes were still, but there was a hint of weakness in them. It was as if he was a building that could collapse at any time.
She held his face and slowly leaned in. Her soft lips landed on his. Seeing that he did not resist, Shi Sheng slowly increased his strength.
Thump —
Thump, thump —
Thump, thump, thump —
It was not that Yan Qiu did not resist. He was stunned. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, waking him up. His cheeks were burning. He was about to struggle when he heard her voice.
She said —
"Then let's go against the world and make the world give way to your deviations."
