Chapter 1472 Your Highness, There Is Always Someone Who Wants to Harm You 43

Two days passed in a row.

The calmness was a bit incredible.

Chu Ci had nothing to do, so she took a walk in the mountains and forests with Xiao Qi.

My health gradually improved.

On the last day, the empress came out of the inner temple and held a banquet to entertain the courtiers who had followed.

After the banquet is over, you can return to the imperial capital.

At Linshan Temple, the banquet is naturally vegetarian.

Regarding the mother of this body, Chu Ci only met her when she went to court, and she rarely spoke in private. Memorials and other documents were even sent to the concubine's house for review.

It can be said that mother and daughter do not understand each other.

The empress is old, but she is well-maintained and looks quite majestic and does not look very old.

But many people know that this is just an illusion. The empress has been addicted to all kinds of messy things over the years. She also knows that she is old, so she uses various supplements, or believes in the folk remedies of some Taoist priests.

But how can you do whatever you want at this age?

Now it only looks bright and beautiful, but in fact it is already empty inside.

Chu Ci was in poor health and did not participate in the drinking sessions of the courtiers. He took small sips of the tea cup.

Xiao Qi sat not far away from Chu Ci. Sitting opposite Chu Ci were the Hu family's mother and son.

Hu Xun had figured it out and was more respectful to Xiao Qi, but the malice in Hu Tianhao's eyes was very obvious.

Although Chu Ci had no impression of Hu Tianhao.

It was just a few words he said when he met Xiao Qi.

She didn't bother to pay attention to his gaze.

Halfway through the banquet, something unexpected happened.

Chu Ci noticed a strange smell behind her. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, put down the tea cup in her hand, and turned her body slightly to one side.

A small arrow flew over from nowhere.

Aiming at Chu Ci's head.

Originally, Chu Ci could easily avoid it.

However, the one who had been paying attention to Chu Ci's movements was even bigger. He swung the wine glass in his hand and knocked aside the arrow that could have hit Chu Ci's face.

Half of it was pierced into the ground, and the arrow was black, obviously full of killing intent.

Xiao Qi stood up and wanted to come over.

The surroundings were quiet for a few seconds and then suddenly became chaotic.

"Assassin, catch the assassin!!"

"Protect Your Majesty! Hurry and escort!!"

The surroundings suddenly became chaotic, disrupting Xiao Qi's movements.

Let Xiao Qi be a step late.

Chu Ci stood up and retreated, and several masked men appeared from the side.

Holding swords in their hands, they looked at each other and attacked Chu Ci.

The target was obviously her.

Feng You beside him has already met him at this moment.

Chu Ci lowered his eyes, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

Hu Tianhao over there also stood up, his eyes following Chu Ci's figure.

Seeing someone approaching Chu Ci at this moment, he wanted to walk towards Chu Ci.

But it was obviously a step too late. Xiao Qi had already rushed forward, holding a soft sword in his hand, grabbing Chu Ci's waist and pulling Chu Ci into his arms.

The sword in his hand penetrated deeply into the assassin's shoulder.

There were not many assassins, and the situation was quickly brought under control.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Hu Tianhao pursed his lips. After seeing this scene, he walked up quickly and asked.

However, he saw Chu Ci shook his head and replied casually to him. Without even giving him a look, he raised his hand and pinched Xiao Qi's cheek.

After asking a few words, he took Xiao Qi to see the controlled assassin.

Hu Tianhao was pulled back a few steps by Hu Xun.

Hu Xun motioned him to go back first with his eyes.
