Chapter 376 The Emperor's Birthday Banquet
Chapter 376 The Emperor's Birthday Banquet
Yan Shu was very glad that his skills had recovered to 70% to 80% during this period.
Even though he had to start practicing martial arts all over again, with the help of Shen Yindi's elixirs that enhanced his martial arts skills, his martial arts skills were no less than before.
It has only been half a year. My right hand has recovered its strength.
He thrust forward with his sword and cut the curtain of the carriage in half.
Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled Chu Yun out of the car.
As soon as I got off the carriage, a group of masked men in black surrounded me. They had swords in their hands and were killers.
Yan Shu noticed that this was an open area with high terrain.
It was completely dark and there was no fire.
There was only the moonlight above my head, bright and clear.
Yan Shu held Chu Yun's hand with one hand and held the sword with the other, and started fighting!
The men in black attacked them at the same time.
Yan Shu swung his sword in all directions. He was not that stupid. He would not fight them head-on. He would run away when he found a chance!
These masked men in black will not let him succeed easily.
Chasing them all the way, Yan Shu suddenly discovered that there was a cliff in front of them, but this place should not be very high.
The man in black was approaching.
"If you surrender obediently, I will spare your life." A leading man in black said in a low voice.
Yan Shu was very powerful, and had just killed more than half of their brothers. Fortunately, he brought more people with him this time.
But Yan Shu was also a little injured, and he knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer!
"Princess, do you believe me?" Yan Shu asked hoarsely.
"Believe it." Chu Yun was very firm.
Yan Shu pulled the corner of his mouth: "That's good! Hold my waist tightly with both hands. Remember, don't let go no matter what happens!"
Chu Yun no longer cared about being shy at this moment. She immediately hugged his waist tightly with both hands and put her face against his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, Chu Yun felt very safe.
The next moment, Yan Shu took out a row of hidden weapons and threw them at the men in black. When they were not prepared, he pulled Chu Yun and jumped off the cliff!
Yan Shu put his arm around her waist. His lightness skill was very good, second only to Zhuyue who had the best lightness skill.
After jumping, he did not let them fall freely, but watched the opportunity to find a place to climb.
Make sure to minimize the damage after falling down.
There were only seven men in black left. They came to the edge of the cliff and looked at the dark cliff below. There was silence for a while.
"Boss, if they jump down from here, they will probably die, right?"
"This is a cliff." Although it is not a steep cliff, the height is not low. I heard that there are sharp stones and sharp thorns below.
Even if he didn't die from the fall, he would have died in other ways. Besides, Yan Shu was also injured!
It’s impossible to go down and look for it anyway.
There were twenty of them coming out tonight, but now there are only seven left, which is a heavy loss.
Fortunately, I was able to complete the task.
"go!"
At this time, in the palace, a family banquet was being held in the hall. The emperor sat in the first seat, and on his other side was the queen.
Sitting next to him was Concubine Jing, which was enough to show that Concubine Jing was still favored!
The queen's target was Consort De, Consort Shu, Consort Zhong, and some concubines that Shen Yindi couldn't name. She didn't remember them because they had no sense of existence.
Chu Yan and other princes and princesses sat opposite the concubines.
Shen Yindi and Chu Yan sat together.
Chu Xin sat next to them. He did this on purpose.
Anyway, he would feel safe with his third brother and his wife. Chu Yue sat at the end. She would get married soon, but she did not feel any joy at all.
Today is a family dinner, and Emperor Chu is not that serious.
There were ritual and music performances in the main hall.
Prince Chu Heng sat in the first position on the side of the King of Chu, all alone.
Chu Xing didn't want to sit next to him, so he came over to Chu Yan and Shen Yindi.
Shen Yindi was sitting on the other side of Chu Yan. Chu Heng wanted to see her, but Chu Yan was blocking his view.
But he could see their little intimate gestures.
Chu Heng saw all this and he was so jealous that he was beyond recognition.
But right now, right under his father's nose, he could only endure it.
We can't let my father notice anything.
One of the purposes of Shen Yindi and Chu Yan entering the palace today is to stimulate Chu Heng and make him go crazy!
How to be as disgusting as you want! Completely ignoring other people's eyes. In one word: show!
Seeing how good their relationship was, the King of Chu did not forget to tease them and even tried to induce labor!
Shen Yindi rarely showed a shy look and buried herself in Chu Yan's arms.
Halfway through, Chu Heng couldn't help it and got up to get some fresh air.
The emperor was drinking with Concubine Jing and the others and didn't want to care about the children's situation.
Seeing this, Shen Yindi and Chu Yan also got up and left after a moment.
The queen was sitting in the most prestigious seat, watching their every move. When she saw the couple go out, she immediately sent someone out to keep an eye on them.
Shen Yindi and Chu Yan found Chu Heng not long after they came out.
They went around to the other side to ensure that Chu Heng could hear them talking.
"Your Highness, the night is so beautiful tonight!" Shen Yindi said gently.
"In my heart, no matter how beautiful the night is, it is not even one-tenth as beautiful as Adi's. You are the most beautiful." Chu Yan said in a low and gentle voice.
Chu Heng hid nearby and eavesdropped.
He saw Shen Yindi's face again tonight, and Chu Yan was right.
She is indeed very beautiful.
"When did Your Majesty become so good at speaking sweet words? But I love to hear them!" Shen Yindi acted coquettishly.
Not to mention Chu Heng who had always coveted her, even his original wife, Prince Zhenbei, couldn't bear to hear this.
"Well, if Adi likes to hear me, I will say it more often. I will say it in your ear before you go to bed at night to coax you to sleep."
"My Lord is so kind, I love you so much! I only belong to you..."
Then, there was the sound of two people kissing.
From the sound of the water, you can imagine how passionately they were kissing.
Chu Heng wanted to rush out directly, but he was dragged away by the eunuchs in his palace...
Chu Yan and Shen Yindi also heard the noise.
After a deep kiss, Shen Yindi lay in Chu Yan's arms, as if all her strength had been drained!
My lips were bitten red. I was kissed so hard that I felt dizzy.
It's not a show-off, she just likes this feeling.
Needless to say, His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhenbei now wants to take her back to his room and pamper her.
Back in the hall, they began to present birthday gifts to Emperor Chu.
They are not particularly expensive, but they are full of thought.
Upon receiving Chu Yan's calligraphy and paintings again, the Emperor Chu was still deeply moved, but he did not praise him too much.
Chu Yan didn't care. If he hadn't come here with A Di for a purpose, he would have chosen to stay in the mansion like his eldest sister, in peace and quiet.
Shen Yindi gave her gift to Emperor Chu, and he accepted it personally: "Girl, you are so thoughtful."
"Your Majesty, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains!" Shen Yindi said with a smile.
The birthday banquet lasted for an hour and a half, and when they returned to the mansion, the moon was already at its zenith.
Si Qi has returned, but she hasn't slept yet.
Hearing the noise, she came over to see what was going on.
"Hey, didn't Sister Yun come back with you?" Si Qi looked around and asked curiously.
Chu Yan and Shen Yindi were both stunned for a moment.
"Sister Yun didn't go to the palace, she stayed in the mansion!"
At this time Zou Cheng came out and told Chu Yun that someone from the palace had come to pick her up.
Their faces all darkened.
After hearing this, even if Si Qi was slow-witted, he understood what it meant!
"Adi, what should we do now? Will Sister Yun and the others be okay?"
