Chapter 489 Waiting to Assassinate Li Wuyou
Axia wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask again. Her expression looked as weird as it could be.
After enduring for a long time, Axia couldn't help but speak, but changed the subject:
"Sir, the eldest son of the Prime Minister Wang's family has sent an invitation to the 'Listening to the Rain Banquet'. You haven't been out for ten days. Are you really not going to go and have a look?
In the past, you would never miss it every year."
The beauty of this banquet lies not in listening to the rain falling, but in using the rain to cleanse the dusty heart and reveal the true self through the clear sounds of heaven and earth. Dongfang Che likes it the most.
But looking at my son's appearance, I'm afraid this time...
"Then let's pack up and go to the 'Listening to the Rain Banquet'."
Before Axia could finish her thoughts, she heard Dongfang Che speak. After coming to her senses, she immediately went to clean up.
The Listening to the Rain Banquet was held in a secluded courtyard by the water, with banana leaves used as mats to collect dewdrops, and dragon buds floating in the celadon cups.
Twelve bamboo bells are hung on the eaves, and the sound of them is clear and melodious in the wind, which corresponds to the twenty-four flower signals.
The young men came with white umbrellas in hand, stepping on the mossy tracks, their sleeves stained with the fragrant mist of pear clouds.
The first is "Broken Jade Chant", in which a silver spoon hits an ice-cracked cup to imitate the sound of drizzle falling into a pond; the second is "Milky River Lead", in which a glass bottle hangs down to draw water, imitating the force of a sudden downpour through the forest.
Behind the cloud-gauze screen, the musician struck the jade chimes with her fingernails and played "Eighteen Rhymes of the Linling Bell".
Agarwood was burned during the banquet, and the smoke drifted with the rain, as if a dragon in ink and wash painting appeared.
Even though Dongfang Che was dressed deliberately in a low-key manner, he wore an extremely inconspicuous black outfit.
But the moment she appeared on the stage, she became the focus of all the men and women present.
He was already used to everyone's surprised looks and wanted to find a corner to stay quietly, but the young master Wang from the prime minister's family dragged him to the main table and entertained him and chatted with him. He couldn't help gossiping:
"Ah Che, there is no more handsome man than you in this imperial capital right now.
The two most noble princesses of the dynasty each showed their magical powers for you, tsk!
What a great honor this is!"
"Ah!
Being favored by the dignified and noble eldest princess is indeed noble.
But being noticed by a dandy devil who hangs out in the red-light district, I really don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse!"
The one who spoke in a sarcastic tone was Qian Yue, the son of the Immortal Lord of Dali. He had established a noble persona for so many years, but he was no match for Dongfang Che's casual gestures, so he naturally disliked him.
Moreover, his biological brother is the third concubine of the eldest princess Baili Wuyu. After learning that Baili Wuyu has changed her ways to please Dongfang Che recently, she regards him as the number one rival of Dali Xianqing in gaining real power.
Seeing that Dongfang Che remained silent, Axia behind him glared at Qian Yue angrily, but still managed not to fight back.
Qian Yue uttered several more sarcastic remarks, and finally stopped when Young Master Wang came to the rescue.
Dongfang Che suddenly felt bored, so he stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and walked to a secluded place. Axia followed him immediately.
As the two of them turned the corner of the attic, they heard two female voices talking from afar.
Before Axia could say a word, her master put a silencing and invisibility talisman on her mouth. Her master immediately put an invisibility talisman on himself and also set up an invisibility array around him.
Although the invisibility formation is not a very difficult formation, Dongfang Che is unprecedented in history to be able to cast it instantly without chanting.
Many women in the imperial capital admire Dongfang Che, not only because of his stunning appearance, but also because he is a genius among talismans practitioners. If they can marry him, their offspring will inherit even half of Dongfang Che's talent, which will definitely be a rare talent.
Axia looked at her own master in confusion. The voices over there were clearly from the eldest princess and the third princess. They had bumped into each other, but her own master didn't step forward to say hello. Why did he hide away?
While Axia was confused, she heard the conversation between Baili Wuyu and Baili Wuliu, and her expression suddenly became varied.
The Third Princess Baili Wulv said, "Royal Sister, that piece of trash seems to be almost out of the outer limit of the cultivation limit formation. She is practicing both spiritual and physical cultivation. Can those people of yours really kill her?"
The eldest princess Baili Wuyu said: "Her spiritual cultivation is all auxiliary skills, not to be feared.
And that paranoid and arrogant person is like a reckless woman. I have sent out the most powerful assassins around me and hired the most powerful assassins in the secret camp. I don’t believe that I can’t kill this piece of trash! "
The Third Princess Baili Wuyou also smiled:
“As soon as we get out of the periphery?
It won’t be exposed, right?
Will it be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother and the ministers?"
"Ah!
The one who wanted her dead the most was the Queen Mother, but it would be difficult for the Yun Family to deal with it, so we had to fabricate the scene where she died accidentally while suppressing the war in the south."
When he thought about having to deal with the Yun family, one of the four great heavenly families in the fairy world, a gloomy murderous intent flashed in Baili Wuyu's eyes.
If the Yun family had not been backing up that good-for-nothing Baili Wuyou, and if the Yun family had not been on good terms with the Shangguan family, the largest family in Lingyuan, why would she and her mother have to endure Baili Wuyou for so many years!
Baili Wuyou still had doubts:
"But if they wanted to create the illusion that she was killed by the rioters while suppressing the rebellion, why did they have to take action once she left the periphery?
The outskirts are still hundreds of miles away from the turbulent areas in the south. Wouldn't it be easier to reveal your true identity?"
Baili Wuyu has its own considerations:
“If she were to meet Ah Che’s mother, General Dongfang Ya, even if Dongfang Ya disliked Baili Wuyou, out of courtesy between the monarch and his subjects, she would definitely swear to protect her to the death.
Dongfang Ya has been guarding Southern Xinjiang for many years. Even when the south was in such chaos, he did not allow the war in Southern Xinjiang to spread to the surrounding cities. His methods and thoughts are incomparable to ordinary people.
If I attack Baili Wuyou under her nose, she will definitely find out.
Moreover, there is a place called Tianxian just outside the outer area. We have already sent people there to wait for Baili Wuyou. Our people also carry the "Zhanxian" dagger.
Even if one has reached the peak of immortal cultivation, if the ‘Zhenxian’ pierces the heart, their soul will surely be shattered and they won’t even be able to enter reincarnation!
"It seems that I, Third Sister, must hurry and find the precious gifts so that I can congratulate you, Big Sister, on your upcoming promotion to the Crown Princess and the future Empress of Lingyuan Nation!"
Baili Wuyou knew it was particularly vulgar:
"Also, I finally got to marry the handsome Dongfang Che.
Come to me and tell me, Big Sister, you have spoiled Dongfang Che too much. He has never even let you hold his hand.
Baili Wuyou is definitely not that honest with him. It is possible that the two of them have been having an affair for a long time. He is not worthy of your future position as the legitimate ruler!"
"He won't really have anything to do with Baili Wuyou. As for the position of the legitimate ruler, it all depends on whether Dongfang Ya knows how to handle the current situation!"
Baili Wuyou seemed to be determined to win Dongfang Che, but when she thought of the two handsome men who were escorted out of the city by Baili Wuyou, and the bright and handsome man who followed Baili Wuyou, she felt a little itchy.
Compared with the seven concubines in his own palace, Baili Wuyu felt that those concubines were more and more dull and boring:
"I heard that A-Che is also coming to the 'Listening to the Rain Feast' today. Third Imperial Sister, let's go down and take a look."
