After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 202 There is an Assassin (11)

When night fell, after having dinner, Gu Chang took the imperial sedan chair to the imperial garden.

In a sea of ​​flowers, several women in red tulle dresses danced to the sound of drums.

The imperial carriage came to a steady stop. Gu Chang came to the tables and chairs placed on the side. Looking at the jugs of wine on the table, he lifted up his robe and sat on the chair, staring at the beautiful dancers who were dancing with a cold look.

Cheng De bowed respectfully and stood beside Gu Chang, smiling flatteringly: "Your Majesty, these women are all in their prime..."

"Shut up." Gu Chang said coldly and nonchalantly.

Cheng De quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty." He retreated behind Gu Chang, still carefully observing Gu Chang's reaction.

"Tyrant, why do you like watching people dance so much?" In Murong Heng's memory, he liked watching women dance, drinking and watching. Gu Chang didn't like watching, and he asked Murong Heng in his body because he felt a little bored.

Murong Heng said sinisterly, "Shut up."

The system explained thoughtfully, "Host, I've examined this body. Murong Heng is asexual and has a mild case of mysophobia. He's afraid others will discover this secret, so he pretends to enjoy watching people dance."

Gu Chang: 0.0

Fortunately, Murong Heng couldn't hear the system talking, otherwise he would definitely get angry.

Gu Chang lowered his eyes to glance at the wine glass on the table. The wine was clear and exuded a rich aroma.

The system's voice sounded again, "Master Host, this glass of wine is poisonous."

Gu Chang, "..." What's going on? Why is being an emperor so dangerous?

"A high position naturally attracts the rats of the gutter." Murong Heng could hear Gu Chang's inner voice. He snorted disdainfully, "The Night Shadow Guards have been slacking off recently. They deserve to be punished."

Gu Chang raised his eyes to look at the dancers dancing in the sea of ​​flowers, curled his lips into a wicked smile, and raised his hand to take the glass of wine on the table.

The drumbeats became more and more lively, and several dancers came in circles in front of Gu Chang, accompanied by the pleasant fragrance of flowers.

One of the dancers wearing a veil came to Gu Chang on her own initiative. She stretched out her slender hand and placed it on the bottom of the wine glass in Gu Chang's hand.

Cheng De watched this scene with his heart in his throat. Because the emperor did not allow others to get so close to him when watching a dance, this dancer was really too bold.

The wine has a rich aroma, mixed with exotic floral fragrance.

Gu Chang raised his eyes and glanced at the dancer in front of him. She was crouching down, and her open neckline revealed a hint of spring light. Gu Chang closed his eyes and drank the wine in the glass.

The cold wine went down my throat, with a spicy taste that stung my throat.

Murong Heng felt that he could control his body. He opened his eyes with a cold and sinister look, and reached out to grab the neck of the dancer in front of him.

"Your Majesty..." Cheng De was horrified when he saw this scene. He knew that the emperor would not let anyone get close to him so easily.

The other dancers stopped moving, and even the music stopped abruptly.

Murong Heng sneered, tightening his grip. Seeing the despair and fear in the dancer's eyes, he suppressed his voice and said, "Dare to come near me, you will die!"

When the dancer was dying, she took out the soft sword hidden at her waist and stabbed Murong Heng.

Cheng De was the closest, and he almost screamed, "There's an assassin!!"

The sword light was cold and was about to pierce Murong Heng's abdomen almost in an instant.

A hidden weapon flew out from the corner and deflected the sword.

The dancer wanted to stab again, but Cheng De had already pounced on her, knocked over the table, and suppressed the dancer's hand.

Murong Heng didn't expect the dancer to still have the strength to continue the assassination. Fortunately, Cheng De stood in front of him. Murong Heng's eyes turned red. He was about to speak, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The eunuchs and palace maids around them panicked, shouting one after another, "Your Majesty has been assassinated and injured!"

Murong Heng looked at the black blood on his chest in disbelief, then wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand, "This...this is impossible..."

He could feel his limbs going numb and he was quickly losing strength.

The dancer who was suppressed by Cheng De saw Murong Heng fall down. She shouted happily, "Murong Heng! You cruel man! Damn it! Damn it!!"

Cheng De quickly reached out to cover her mouth, but the dancer had already bitten her tongue to commit suicide.

Before Murong Heng lost consciousness, he heard a faint sigh.

"System, you are too slow in giving me the pill. If it were any later, I would really die." Gu Chang regained control of this body. The system gave him the Snow Lotus Pill, which relieved the symptoms of poisoning.

Cheng De knelt beside Gu Chang. Before he could cry out loud for the emperor's death, he saw the person who had originally closed his eyes suddenly open them.

"Ah! Your Majesty!" Cheng De suddenly sat on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, staring in shock at Gu Chang who stood up.

The handsome young man in a black and gold five-clawed dragon robe smiled an especially wicked smile. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then frowned, his dark eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light. "I am the true dragon emperor! I will not die!!!"

The royal guards, armed with weapons, rushed over and took control of the scene.

This night was not destined to pass peacefully.

The next morning, Gu Chang woke up from bed.

After he finished his breakfast, he thought about what to do today.

The fact that the emperor's wine could be poisoned meant that there were enemies lurking around Murong Heng.

However, the Imperial Guards would always be by the Emperor's side to protect his safety. Last night, not a single Imperial Guard showed up, something that Gu Chang felt was very wrong.

Last night, Gu Chang sent the Night Shadow Guard to investigate who assassinated the emperor.

The dancer who assassinated Gu Chang was the daughter of an old minister of the previous dynasty. When Murong Heng first came to power, she was opposed by many ministers, who even threatened her own life to force Murong Heng to abdicate to the five-year-old prince.

Those old guys are full of lies and benevolence, but in fact they are just trying to support an emperor who is easy to control.

Each noble family has placed many of their own people in the court. They not only want to support an emperor who is easy to control, but also want to divide up the Tianyao Kingdom.

Murong Heng used the Night Shadow Guards to lay a tight net to suppress and destroy the power of various families.

Unexpectedly, these remaining old forces are making a comeback and are about to put Murong Heng in trouble again.

"Your Majesty...you are awake." A cold and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded behind the screen.

Gu Chang looked up and closed his open collar.

"Who?" A slightly hoarse and low voice sounded.

Nie Qingxue, dressed in a moon-white palace maid's attire, slowly emerged from behind a folding screen. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her face was delicate and beautiful. Her face was truly breathtaking. Her figure was graceful, and her every gesture was gentle and charming. In short, every beautiful word in the world could be used to describe her.

Gu Chang: "..." No, does this heroine have to be so eye-catching? Why are there flowers around her? ! ! And what about those gauze curtains by my bed? Who tied them up?

Moreover, she is now disguised as a palace maid, and she doesn't even bow. What is she trying to do by just walking out like this?

The system said with a grin, "Host, she's making you curious about her. According to the normal plot, you would now feel that this woman is different from other women. Why wouldn't she be afraid of me? I'm a cruel king."

Gu Chang was silent.

But he...he already has a lover.

He couldn't look interested in the female lead.

Seeing that Gu Chang had remained silent and half-closed his eyes, Nie Qingxue couldn't tell what the man in front of her was thinking. She wondered if she should try a different method to attract the emperor's attention.

"Get lost." Gu Chang chose to let Nie Qingxue go. Anyway, there was no plot point right now, so Gu Chang wasn't worried about the plot collapsing.

Nie Qingxue was slightly stunned. She had clearly dressed herself according to Murong Heng's aesthetic, so why did Murong Heng tell her to get out?

Gu Chang got off the bed and walked straight past Nie Qingxue.

"How dare you, a mere palace maid, face the Emperor? Do you think your life is too long?" Gu Chang felt that he had been reminding the heroine in a very tactful way.

Fortunately, Nie Qingxue was smart and reacted immediately and knelt on the ground.

"I know I was wrong. This is my first time serving Your Majesty. Please forgive me!" Nie Qingxue blamed herself in her heart, wondering how she could make such a low-level mistake.

Her forehead rested on the cold ground, and her watery, dark eyes rolled.

But Murong Heng is willing to give her some advice. Does it mean that Murong Heng is now attracted to her?

Nie Qingxue felt that she had to confirm this guess.

Cheng De walked out of the bedroom with a smile on his face, followed by several palace maids with their heads lowered.

The palace maids were carrying trays of clothing.

Cheng De stopped outside the palace gate and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought you a palace maid to help you dress."

"Come in."

After getting permission, Cheng De smiled, and then he saw Nie Qingxue kneeling on the ground.

Cheng De's smile froze on his face. He didn't remember asking this palace maid to come over.

Cheng De turned his gaze to Gu Chang, who was sitting on the couch, and quickly bowed, "Your Majesty."

Seeing that the palace maids began to change Gu Chang's clothes, Nie Qingxue felt that she could not be ignored like this, so she stood up and wanted to walk towards Gu Chang.

But Cheng De grabbed her arm and took her to a corner. "Who sent you as a palace maid? Why don't I remember you being in the palace?"

Nie Qingxue pursed her lips, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and moved her arms to signal Cheng De to let go. After Cheng De let go, she spoke, "I was sent by the Prime Minister to serve as your Majesty's personal maid."

Cheng De couldn't help but twitch his lips. He looked Nie Qingxue up and down, then reached out and grabbed her wrist. Then he lifted her up and said, "Look at you, your fingers are white and tender. You can tell at a glance that you are a young lady who has never touched women. Did the Prime Minister send you here to kill you?"

Nie Qingxue pulled her hand back and glanced at Cheng De. "Your Majesty didn't blame me, so what right do you have to criticize me?"

Chengde, "..."

Although they were changing clothes, Gu Chang could still hear their conversation clearly because of the system.

Gu Chang always felt that some of the rules and regulations of this palace were unreasonable. Why could Nie Qingxue directly enter the emperor's bedroom without anyone telling him, the emperor, in advance?

Why does the palace, which is supposed to have strict rules, seem to have such a loose staff? The emperor was assassinated, such an important event, but no one stood up to protect the emperor last night.

Except for the eunuch chief Cheng De.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the plot serves the heroine Nie Qingxue. As the heroine, she has such a strong aura that everyone around her will become her stepping stone or helper.

Gu Chang felt that he had to find out what Nie Qingxue's purpose was in wanting to get close to the emperor.
