The host is no longer a human today.

Chapter 550: Your Highness is a very handsome man, but Your Majesty is still charming too (6)

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned yet. Would you like me to send someone to look for him?" Xu Fengnian asked in a low voice.

Yan Chen clenched the glass cup in his hand, his face slightly flushed behind the bead curtain, but a storm was brewing in his eyes.

"no need."

Xu Fengnian paused, always feeling that the emperor's words sounded like gnashing of teeth.

"Yes." Xu Fengnian retreated respectfully.

Maybe he felt it was wrong.

After Xu Fengnian left, Yan Chen's knuckles holding the cup had turned slightly white.

Although there was no one around, he felt as if someone was grabbing his waist and dragging him deeper into the brocade quilt. A soreness from somewhere swept through his body, a pain that was completely different from that of fighting.

"Tian Dao, what's going on?" Yan Chen squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Well, it's probably because you and Yan Sui are one soul, so you might empathize in some ways."

Yan Chen: ...

Forcing himself to ignore the abnormality in himself, Yan Chen put down the glass cup and closed his eyes slightly. If someone approached here at this time, they would find that their wise and mighty emperor was almost collapsed on the dragon throne.

Yan Chen had never had the chance to thank the so-called imperial majesty. The thick pearl curtains and screens successfully maintained his dignity.

"Your Majesty, my little daughter felt dizzy just now and said she wanted to go out for a walk. Now she hasn't come back for a long time. Would Your Majesty allow me to go out and look for her?"

Hearing this, Yan Chen opened his lustful eyes and looked at the person who was speaking through the beaded curtain.

He is Marquis Dingbei.

Ah!

Yan Chen stared at him meaningfully for a moment, and said, "I will send someone to look for her. How can an outsider enter the harem?"

"This... is, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Marquis Dingbei was a little hesitant, but since Yan Chen had said so, he couldn't insist any longer.

He could only hope that his daughter could successfully capture the Holy Son of Miao.

As long as the rice has been cooked, why should we worry that the alliance is not solid?

Marquis Dingbei was still fantasizing about his carefree days in the future, little knowing that Yan Chen had already charged him with a crime in his mind.

Xu Fengnian, who was standing closest to Yan Chen, felt his eyebrows jump, wondering why the emperor's voice suddenly became so low and hoarse.

"Xu Fengnian."

"I'm here." Xu Fengnian said hurriedly.

"Go and find the person back. No matter what he looks like, bring him here. If you dare to do something tricky at my banquet, don't be afraid of being embarrassed." Yan Chen said coldly.

"Yes." After receiving the order, Xu Fengnian hurriedly sent people to look for her, guessing in his heart that the young lady of Dingbei Marquis's family might have done something that she shouldn't have done.

Thinking of the Crown Prince who had just left and had not returned, Xu Fengnian broke out in a cold sweat. He then lowered his head tightly, not daring to think about it any more.

In less than an incense stick of time, Zhao Qinghan, with a red face and tearing the little eunuch's clothes, was brought to the banquet.

After being forced to kneel, Zhao Qinghan still struggled to throw himself on the person next to him, muttering that he was so hot.

Marquis Dingbei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Marquis Dingbei's wife beside him was also very pale.

This was a palace banquet, and the dignitaries present included almost all the nobles in Da Mo. Even if Zhao Qinghan hadn't really lost her virginity, just because she stuck to the eunuch in public, no noble would be willing to marry her!

Marquis Dingbei has more than one daughter, Zhao Qinghan, but she only has this one daughter!

"Your Majesty! Please help my daughter! She has always been well-behaved and sensible. Someone must have framed her!"

The wife of Marquis Dingbei rushed to Zhao Qinghan and hugged her tightly, not allowing her to do anything that would damage her reputation, and looked at Yan Chen pleadingly.

"Pa!" Seeing this, Marquis Dingbei immediately slapped her in the face, "Shut up! Don't you think this is embarrassing enough? Your Majesty, please forgive me. This daughter of yours has never been very obedient. Let's just leave this matter at that!"

Lady Dingbei Hou looked at him in disbelief, as if she was seeing him for the first time.

Marquis Dingbei turned his gaze away and didn't look at her. After all, it was he who arranged this matter. If the emperor really investigated it, he would be finished. It would be better to sacrifice a daughter than to be discovered himself.

Even if Zhao Qinghan is her only legitimate daughter, so what? He is just promoting her as his legal wife.

"No, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here either..."

"Madam Dingbei Marquis wants to see me for something?" A familiar voice came from outside, and then the neatly dressed Yan Sui walked in, followed by Shen Zuixue.

The moment Lady Dingbei Marquis saw Yan Sui, she felt as if her throat was strangled and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Your Highness, I just want to ask you, did you see my daughter just now?"

Yan Sui glanced at Zhao Qinghan, who was still tearing clothes in her arms, with an innocent look on her face, "I just took the Holy Son to change clothes, how could I see your daughter?"

The wife of Marquis Dingbei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Marquis Dingbei.

Their plan was to make Qinghan and Miaojiang Saint Shen Zuixue accomplish good things, but now their daughter has been humiliated in public, while Shen Zuixue has returned with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unharmed. No matter what the truth is, they can no longer dwell on it.

"Master Hou!"

"That's enough! Aren't you ashamed? Take your people back quickly!"

As soon as Marquis Dingbei finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air. At the same time, several men in black leaped into the air, and more than ten sharp swords attacked Yan Chen who was at the top. A sharp light flashed in Yan Chen's eyes, and he flicked his sleeve to sweep away the arrows coming towards him, and did not forget to pull away Xu Fengnian who was closest to him.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Help me!" Xu Fengnian reacted immediately and shouted at the top of his voice. He wanted to step forward to block the assassin, but Yan Chen slapped him and pushed him behind.

Yan Chen dodged the assassin's sword by leaning sideways, but he didn't expect to be caught somewhere and his movements faltered. The assassin's sword brushed against the dragon robe and tore a crack on the coiled dragon pattern.

Yan Chen snatched the sword from the assassin's hand and slashed his neck with two strokes.

The Royal Guards quickly captured the other assassins, but -

"Your Majesty, we are incompetent, and the assassins have all committed suicide by taking poison."

Yan Chen snorted coldly, took the handkerchief handed over by Xu Fengnian, wiped his hands, and said: "The assassin came prepared, it's not your fault."

"Xu Fengnian, pass the order down, seal the nine gates immediately. Anyone entering the palace tonight must go to Chengtian Gate to verify their identity." Yan Chen threw away his handkerchief and stepped into the pool of blood with his brocade boots embroidered with dark gold cloud patterns. "Until we find the person behind the assassin, no one is allowed to leave."

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple stepped out tremblingly, "Your Majesty, can you allow the gentlemen to..."

The words of the Dali Temple official were slowly silenced by Yan Chen's cold eyes. "If you can't investigate, I will come here myself."

"We can investigate, we can investigate. I will certainly live up to the mission." The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hastily, fearing that if it was too late he would be regarded as having ulterior motives and beheaded.

Yan Chen left with a wave of his sleeves, and when he passed by Yan Sui, he glanced at him coldly, "Everyone else go to your rooms, Prince, come with me!"
