Everyone congratulated him. After all, a concubine seemed to be one who accompanied the Emperor, but in reality, she was the ruler of Qiao Country. After the Emperor gave birth to his son, although Qiao Nation's Jiang Shan's surname was still Qiao, he had already changed it a long time ago. The father of the prince, and this entire country belonged to Qiao Country.

Right now, there were only two people in the imperial harem: Imperial Concubine Luo and Yuanfei. Imperial Concubine Luo was from the Luo family, but this prince might not be Imperial Concubine Luo's biological son. However, Yuanfei had no backing, so she was naturally nothing to fear. Today, the Emperor had nominated Zhang Muyu to be Yu Fei.

While everyone was congratulating Zhang Tai Shou, they would not forget the powerful Prime Minister Luo. Everyone was happy with his highness, Qiao Qiao's eyes were still on them, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled up into a smile.

In the center of the palace, it was a scene of singing and dancing. With the recent bestowal of the title, Prime Minister Luo no longer mentioned the matter of Consort Luo. Instead, he repeatedly toasted the emperor.

Luo Qinglun and Ji Mingyuan sat by Qiao Yifan's left and right. They had not spoken a single word to each other during the palace banquet. However, the emotions that flowed from the corners of their eyes were inconceivable.

Qiao Qiao still frowned slightly. She could understand the reproach and questioning in Ji Mingyuan's eyes, but she could not understand the carefreeness and contentment in Luo Qinglun's eyes. Was it a good thing for him to have her as his concubine?

While Qiao Qiao was still pondering, suddenly, the lights in the middle of the hall were extinguished. Qiao Qiao was still shocked. Could it be that the thing she guessed had really come?

Qingwu felt that something was wrong, so she immediately pulled out the long sword at her waist and under the weak moonlight, she stood alone in front of Qiao Qiao to block.

Ji Mingyuan also stood up, gripping Qiao Qiao tightly with both hands.

The people in the hall were frightened by the sudden darkness as the screams of women echoed out from time to time.

"Everyone, don't panic, don't panic." Meng Shi immediately led the Jinyi Guards into the hall, maintaining order.

Ah!" "Murder!" It was unknown who was shouting from inside, but the entire hall suddenly became chaotic, with messy footsteps, screams, and noises coming and going.

"Don't panic, don't panic." Meng Shi led the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the situation. However, they were blocked by the chaotic scene in front of them.

Qiao Qiao sat calmly in her original spot. She wanted to gently pull back Ji Mingyuan's hand, but he held her back tightly. In the end, she gave up and curled her lips. Did she forget what position she held in the modern world? A godly thief! Only at night did her eyes shine brightly, and now all the scenes of His Highness were reflected in her eyes.

She silently observed the chaos surrounding His Highness before turning her head to look at the calm Prime Minister Luo.

As expected, today's matter was related to this old fox.

"Protect the emperor!" Meng Shi shouted from the crowd.

The people in the hall were too busy to care about the emperor. They desperately protected their wives and children as they rushed out of the hall. Some even abandoned their wives and daughters and ran out of the hall alone.

But, Qiao Qiao still clearly heard the miserable cries outside the hall.

She secretly frowned. She had only thought that Prime Minister Luo would use the palace banquet to pressure her, but she never thought that he would actually force the Palace to usurp the position at such a time, and that he would be so well-prepared.

A black shadow flashed past Qiao Qing Wu's side. She brandished the sword in her hand and clashed against the black shadow's sword. Just as Ji Mingyuan was about to step forward to help, the black shadow spoke quickly, "Qingwu, it's me."

Qiao Qiao suddenly turned his head and looked over. That black shadow was none other than Yan Mu. It seemed that Yan Mo Chen had left Yan Mu behind before he left.

"Your majesty, quickly follow me." Yan Mu said to Qiao Qiao with a serious face.

"Right." Qiao Qiao nodded again, lifting his foot to leave with Yan Mu. However, Ji Mingyuan frowned slightly. He recognized this person as Yan Mo Chen's secret guard. Why had Yan Mo Chen left his secret guard at the Imperial Palace on this long journey? Without enough time for him to think, he tightly held onto Qiao Qiao's hand. With a slightly distrustful expression, he said:

"Mu Er, in such a chaotic situation, you can't blindly trust me."

Qiao Qiao was stopped in her tracks by his grip. She turned around and looked at Ji Mingyuan, well aware that he was doing this for her own good. However, everything had suddenly happened and she didn't have the time to explain it to him.

"Let's go together."

When Ji Mingyuan saw that she wanted to pull him along, he lifted his feet without a second thought. Since Ran'er wanted to go, he would follow her.

"Kill!" "Leave no one alive!" At the entrance of the palace gate, a large group of people barged in. They were all filled with a vicious aura as they furiously shouted.

Qiao Qiao still wanted to leave, but she heard the miserable cries of the crowd behind her. She could not bear to turn her head back, only to see that the intruders' skills were all extraordinary, their moves were strange, and in reality, they did not resemble those of the imperial court. She turned her head, only to see that there was no one at Prime Minister Luo's seat.

"Your majesty, hurry and leave." Yan Mu urged.

"We can't leave!" Qiao still shouted out loud, "I am leaving! How about the mountains and rivers of Qiao Country? How about the officials of His Highness!"

"Your Majesty! "If we leave the green mountains here, we will have to wait for your highness to come back. Sooner or later, the mountains will return." When Yan Mu saw Meng Shi and the rest of the Embroidered Uniform Guard almost unable to endure the invasion, he could not help but roar out anxiously.

"They, they!" Qiao once again pointed to His Highness, "They are all loyal officials and old officials of the Qiao Country. How can I watch them die like this!" Joe continued to hiss.

Yan Mu turned around and saw that more and more of His Highness' people were dying miserably, so he simply sighed. He pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted towards Qingwu, "Protect the emperor well." After which, he entered the battle of His Highness by himself.

When Ji Mingyuan saw this, he gripped Qiao Yifan's hands so tightly that they were drenched in sweat. He released Qiao Yifan and said to Qingwu, "I'll leave Ran'er in your hands." With that, he turned and flew out of the hall to fight alongside Yan Mu.

With the addition of Ji Mingyuan and Yan Mu, the Imperial Secret Service's resistance had slightly improved.

"Qingwu, quickly go and order people to light up the lights in this hall." Qiao Qiao continued to turn his head and urge Qingwu. Such a dark battle was inferior to the number of Embroidered Uniform Guards.

"No, this servant will protect the emperor by his side." Qingwu stubbornly said.

"This is an imperial edict, an order! Go quickly!" Qiao Qiao urged anxiously.

"No, this servant cannot leave the emperor's side."

"Don't tell me you want to see our mountains and rivers destroyed just like that!" Joe was still furious.

Qingwu thought for a moment before handing the long sword in her hand to Qiao Qiao. She then turned around and left.

Qiao Qiao still held the longsword in his hand and stood at the top of the hall. His palms were already sweating.

The people of His Highness were still in a frenzy, the hall was full of casualties and corpses. Ji Mingyuan, Yan Mu, and Meng Shi were still fighting with all their might, leading the Imperial Secret Service's men.

The people in the battle could not stand the sudden brightness and their pupils all narrowed into a thin line. Qiao Qiao still unsheathed his sword without even thinking and swung it down, instantly killing several black-clothed men.

After everyone's eyes adjusted, the hall once again returned to the scene of a slaughter.

"Kill! Kill for me! Exterminate the entire palace! Avenge the people of my palace!" A leader of the men in black shouted with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

Qiao once again turned his head, only to find that the man in black looked familiar.

It's a demon! It was no wonder their martial arts were extraordinary and their moves were strange. She finally understood that the palace feast that Prime Minister Luo had arranged was not for her, but to help the people of the Demon Palace break into the palace and wantonly slaughter them. It was to avenge her grudge with Yan Mo Chen against him for destroying the Demon Palace.

What a vicious plan! In his heart, Qiao Qiao had already cut Prime Minister Luo into thousands of pieces.

"Pfft ~" A muffled sound rang out from behind Qiao Qiao. She turned her head to look, only to see Shen Qian Xun blocking in front of her. A sword had pierced deeply into his abdomen.

"Shen Qian Xun!" Qiao Qiao continued to let out a loud shout as he caught the crumbling Shen Qian Xun. The sound of his voice rang out as he slashed the throat of the black-clothed person who pierced into Shen Qian Xun's abdomen.

"Your Majesty …" Shen Qian Xun slowly fell to the ground, "This subject … I truly want to be of assistance …] Your majesty. "

"I know that you're a good person from the beginning." The corners of Qiao Qiao's eyes were red. She did not expect that the one standing behind her to block the sword was Shen Qian Xun.

"Pfft ~" A mouthful of blood gushed out. Shen Qian Xun coughed lightly, "Your majesty, this subject … He had convinced quite a few Prime Minister Luo … The defectors have pledged their allegiance to us. "

"Don't talk about this anymore. I know it, I know it too." The tears were still running down Joe's cheeks.

"These are tokens, with this, they …" "Everyone will listen to the Emperor." Shen Qian Xun trembled as he pulled out a talisman from his sleeve, intending to hand it to Qiao Yifeng.

"No, I don't want it. I want you to personally help me command these people." Qiao once again placed the talisman back into Shen Qian Xun's sleeve.

Shen Qian Xun's lips rose slightly, his mouth opened as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, both his eyes were lowered, and his mouth was tightly shut.

"Shen Qian Xun!" Joe shouted.

"Your majesty, your majesty, quickly hand Sir Shen over to this old official." Imperial Physician Bai ran up to Qiao yet again and said anxiously.

Joy flashed across Qiao Qiao's beautiful face that was still as sorrowful as ever. She immediately stood up and handed Shen QianXun over to Imperial Physician Baili.

"Yan Mu, escort Imperial Physician Baili and the Minister out." Qiao Qiao continued to speak to Yan Mu, who was not far away from killing the enemy with indignation.

"Yes." Yan Mu slowly retreated. With one hand supporting Shen QianXun and the other protecting Imperial Physician Baili, he slowly retreated into the inner hall.

When Ji Mingyuan saw that Joe was still alone, he jumped and landed in front of Joe. He held Joe's sword in one hand and swung the sword in the other.

Within the hall, shouts could be heard echoing throughout the hall. Everyone was flustered, and blood flowed like a river within the hall.
