Feng Xiaoran did not give up. He walked up to him with the portrait and asked him if he knew the person in the portrait.
Guo Ming was drunk. Everything he saw was double. How could he recognize the portrait?
Feng Xiaoran glared at him, but he was not flustered, because there was someone in the hall who could prove Wei Qing’s identity.
“Consort Ling, you’re Wei Qing’s cousin. You should know Wei Qing, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao slapped the table and stood up. “Feng Xiaoran! Don’t go too far! Who doesn’t know that she fell out with the Wei family? Can she be trusted? What if the two of you colluded to frame the Wei family?”
Feng Xiaoran smiled wantonly and said, “Madam Wei, you can rest assured. I,
Feng Xiaoran, swear to the heavens that I have never interacted with Consort Ling. Before today, if I say anything to her or have any interaction with her, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
With such a heavy oath, even those who believed in Zhuge Qing could not help but have a trace of doubt.
Feng Xiaoran was extremely happy. “Zhuge Qing, the higher you climb, the worse you would fall. How ever much everyone loved and respected you in the past would be how much they hate you the day your disguise is torn.”
“Just wait to be torn apart by everyone!”
Guo Lingxi clenched her fists.
Feng Xiaoran looked at her steadily. “Consort Ling, I believe you won’t lie to His
Majesty.”
The crime of deceiving the emperor would be decapitation. Even if it was a concubine princess, her outcome would definitely not be good.
The Old Marquis subconsciously grabbed the sword at his waist. He was preparing to fight, but just as he touched it, he realized that he could not bring weapons into the palace. His sword had long been placed in the carriage outside.
“Wei Qing is my second cousin… I’ve seen him many times. I do know his portrait. ”
Feng Xiaoran smiled in satisfaction.
“The person in the portrait… is not my second cousin.”
Feng Xiaoran was stunned.
Guo Lingxi said, “I don’t know where you got this portrait, but I can tell you with certainty that my second cousin doesn’t look like this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the female official beside me. She has seen Wei Qing before.”
The female official hurriedly said, “That’s right. I’ve seen Second Young Master
Wei a few times in the capital. The person in the portrait doesn’t look like
Second Young Master Wei.”
Feng Xiaoran gritted his teeth and said, “You’re lying! You must have been bribed by the Wei family!”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Feng Xiaoran, you were the one who asked Consort
Ling to testify just now. Now you’re the one who’s questioning her testimony! Everything you say has to be right. You’re so domineering!”
Guo Lingxi walked out of her seat and bowed to the Western Jin Emperor. She said sincerely, “Your Maiestv, I can swear to the heavens that the person in the portrait is really not my second cousin.”
Concubine Jing frowned and glanced at Guo Lingxi.
She felt a change in the other party.
Other than Su Xiaoxiao and the others, the only one who knew the truth was probably Yuwen Xi.
She was basically certain that Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing, but she did not say a word.
The Western Jin emperor looked at Feng Xiaoran coldly. “Men! Take Feng Xiaoran away!”
Feng Xiaoran’s expression changed.
Two powerful eunuchs walked towards Feng Xiaoran. Just as they were about to support Feng Xiaoran, something unexpected happened.
The Ghost Face Dancers behind Feng Xiaoran suddenly swarmed forward. The wooden sticks in their hands that were originally used to pray for blessings were pulled by them, turning into sharp rings.
They slashed the eunuch in front of Feng Xiaoran to death. Blood splattered on
Feng Xiaoran’s face, and he was stunned.
“Guards! Protect the Emperor!”
It was too late. A few Ghost Face Dancers had appeared behind the originally empty door at some point. They suddenly closed the door and bolted it tightly.
The door of such a hall was not an ordinary door and could not be easily broken open.
Not only was the door closed, but there was a rumbling in the back hall. Furthermore, the back door was blocked.
The imperial guards could not enter.
The Ghost Face Dancers began to slaughter wantonly in the hall. Screams rose and fell. Chong Ming Hall, which had been singing and dancing a moment ago, had become everyone’s battlefield.
The assassin and Mei Ji didn’t enter the palace. There was no one beside Zhuge Qing.
However, Wei Ting could not go over and protect him. Otherwise, it would be too obvious.
Zhuge Qing gave him a comforting look and asked him to protect Su Xiaoxiao and the children.
A Ghost Face Dancer rushed over. Yuwen Huai kicked the table away and sent the other party flying.
This group of assassins killed everyone they saw. They did not seem to have a specific target and killed whoever they caught. In the blink of an eye, many ministers who did not know martial arts had been killed.
Yuwen Xi snatched the ring-headed saber of a ghost-faced assassin and turned around to see Su Xiaoxiao pulling the young princess to avoid the attack of an assassin.
She said seriously, “Qin Su, I’ll leave Xin’er to you!”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
It was difficult to fight with a child. Wei Ting arrived in time.
Yuwen Xi went to Zhuge Qing.
“Why are you here?” Yuwen Huai asked unhappily.
“I’ll take the opportunity to kill you!” Yuwen Xi said angrily.
A long sword stabbed at Zhuge Qing at an extremely tricky angle. Yuwen Huai couldn’t reach it in time, but Yuwen Xi forced the other party back with a reverse slash.
Yuwen Huai was a little surprised, but he did not have the time to think about Yuwen Xi’s motive. He did not know where these assassins came from, but their martial arts were extremely high and difficult to deal with.
Yuwen Huai said, “Protect Father!”
Yuwen Xi said, “You go!”
Yuwen Huai asked, “You don’t want the opportunity to make a contribution?”
Yuwen Xi asked, “Why don’t you want it?”
The killers surrounded the two of them.
A long saber approached Yuwen Huai’s back. Yuwen Huai was focused on dealing with the assassin in front of him and did not notice.
Yuwen Xi only needed to turn a blind eye to it to let Yuwen Huai die at the hands of the assassin.
Yuwen Xi turned around and stopped looking at the assassin.
She stabbed the assassin in the stomach.
Yuwen Huai was stunned. In the next second, a hidden weapon shot at Yuwen Xi. Yuwen Huai strode forward and pulled her over. The hidden weapon cut his arm.
Yuwen Xi glanced at him.
Neither of them spoke.
Yuwen Lin flipped the table. “Eldest Brother, Second Sister, I’ll help you!”
The two of them said in unison, “Protect Father!”
Yuwen Lin said, “Oh.”
Yuwen Lin brought the fourth and fifth princes to protect the emperor. The Western Jin emperor had imperial experts by his side and did not need their protection.
The Old Marquis said to the three little ones behind him, “Don’t look. Cover your eyes.”
The three little ones obediently covered their eyes.
After the Old Marquis turned around, they quietly separated.
An assassin was hit heavily by the Old Marquis’s elbow and fell to the ground.
He was still breathing. He had to get up!
The three little ones covered their eyes and quietly moved towards him, stepping on him until he fainted!
The assassin was speechless.
The Old Marquis and Su Yuan thought that the three little fellows were obediently waiting in the corner. Little did they know that the three little ones had already begun to secretly pick up scraps everywhere.
Another assassin was beaten to the ground by the Old Marquis.
Erhu raised the small pot in his hand and knocked him out.
At a time when other children cried, the three of them were busy picking up the leftovers and masks. They even put them on their faces.
An assassin was kicked down. He got up and was about to grab someone when he saw the three ghost masks. He was stunned.
Xiaohu, who was wearing a ghost mask, gestured for him to stop seriously.
“We’re on the same side!”
The assassin was speechless.
Dahu climbed onto the pillar and the weight fell.. He fainted!
