C80 The Assassin of Canglan Hijacked the Crown Prince!

Many influential people in the West Continent had always been angry with him, but they didn’t dare to say anything. Even the emperor had allowed him to fight, so no one dared to offend him in public. In fact, they had been secretly throwing dirty water at him!

Madam Wei had never been optimistic about him. Ever since he had made his own son into that state and disgraced the Wei Clan, she had been gritting her teeth in hatred. However, her daughter had been disappointing. She had hung herself to death on a tree.

Now that she had lost face in public, she was naturally even angrier.

Wei Lianqian felt uncomfortable and lowered her head to say nothing. Prime Minister Wei said in a low voice, “Go back and argue if you have something to say. Don’t embarrass yourself here and make the Dragon Clan unhappy.”

Madam Wei pulled her sleeves and didn’t dare to say anything else.

Not long after the banquet started, Lan Qingqian felt bored. She held her chin with one hand and blinked her eyes.

Gu Jun’an pinched her ear. “Are you tired?”

Lan Qingqian shook her head. “Looks like the imperial palace in the world is the same. People are the same, the food is the same, and the banquet is the same.” The emperor’s nephew had really fooled her. There was nothing new in the imperial palace of the West Continent.

Gu Jun’an also felt that such a banquet was really boring. He hadn’t wanted to come at first, but the empress said that Lan Qingqian was the princess of Canglan. If he didn’t bring her to the palace banquet, it would probably affect the face of the two countries.

“Then, this king will take you to see the river lanterns?” Gu Jun’an asked.

Lan Qingqi’s eyes suddenly opened and sparkled. “Can I?”

Gu Jun’an touched her head and secretly walked away from behind.

At the banquet, the eunuch carrying the wine jug and servant carrying the tray were about to come to take it when a eunuch and a palace maid stabbed their swords at the Emperor. The Empress was scared and jumped to stop them. “Protect His Majesty!”

The concubines and the Empress Dowager were obviously shocked and ran around. “Someone, someone come and save His Majesty!” They shouted loudly but all of them were busy running away.

The Fourth Prince Gu He Yue was not far away. He quickly threw out the cup in his hand and hit the eunuch’s sword on the Empress’ shoulder. The Second Prince’s eyes flashed with pity and he rushed up to stop the eunuch.

After a while, the guards outside the palace gate rushed in. The palace maid saw and immediately grabbed the Crown Prince’s body.

“Don’t move!” They couldn’t take the Emperor but they could take the Crown Prince.

When Gu Jun’an heard the noise, the Crown Prince was already captured when he came over with Lan Qingqi.

The Emperor immediately went to help the Empress. The Empress couldn’t care about her wound. “Let go of the Crown Prince!”

The female assassin pressed the sword against the Crown Prince’s neck and sneered. “I advise you not to move recklessly. We Canglan people are not weak!”

The Emperor immediately ordered the guards around. “Step back, step back, don’t hurt the Crown Prince.”

The Crown Prince was so scared that his face turned pale. He stood still in the arms of the female assassin and didn’t dare to move. Tears kept falling from his eyes. “Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother…”

The Empress was so anxious that she thought that the assassin was here for the Emperor. The target was the Emperor, so it was natural for her to protect the Emperor. She didn’t expect that her son would be captured by someone else.

“Let him go. We can talk about anything. We can let you out of the palace!” The Empress endured the pain and tried her best to comfort the assassin.

The female assassin held the Crown Prince in her arms and looked around vigilantly. “Heh, I ordered you to kill the dog Emperor, but I didn’t plan to leave alive.”

Lan Qingqian wanted to go up but was stopped by Gu Jun’an. She said in a low voice, “Be quiet!”

Now that the Crown Prince was being held hostage, the crowd could still be wary. If she became the target, these people wouldn’t care about the life and death of Canglan Princess. Especially since this person deliberately claimed that she was from Canglan.

“If you want anything, just come at me. Why are you making things difficult for the child? You are here to hold me hostage and release the child!” The Emperor frowned and stood out.

The Empress was so scared that she quickly pulled him back. “No, no, how can you take such a big risk as the Emperor? This assassin is obviously here for you!”

The female assassin seemed to be trying to make the crowd believe her. She even called out to Lan Qingqian in a loud voice. “Ninth Princess, when I kill this dog Crown Prince, I will take you away.”
