Reborn as a beautiful little lucky star
Chapter 210: Palace Night Banquet, a Plan Within a Plan
Qiulin and Lanqing were both a little tired after a whole day of hard work, so they went to bed early to rest without drinking any alcohol.
Mu Xueyan loves liquor and can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Seeing that his three brothers were all asleep, he came to the cave entrance with a jar of wine, drank by himself, and admired the moon.
"Miss Yan, you have a good alcohol tolerance."
Mu Yunxi was serving her mother and did not drink any alcohol. At this moment, she was the only sober person in the cave.
He saw Mu Xueyan drinking alone at the entrance of the cave, and wanted to accompany her, so he found an excuse and walked out carrying an empty bucket.
"It's so late, do you still need to fetch water?"
Mu Xueyan looked up and saw that it was him. She took out a night pearl from her storage ring and threw it over.
"Mother needs water at night."
Mu Yunxi took the night-shining pearl and held it in her hand to illuminate it: "Boil some hot water in advance and keep it for later use when it cools down."
"What a filial son."
Mu Xueyan raised her glass to show respect.
"Not as good as you..."
Mu Yunxi smiled and said sincerely: "I've been busy and worried for my family."
"I can't stop worrying!"
Mu Xueyan drank the wine in one gulp, then threw the glass away and stood up from the ground.
"Where are you going?"
When Mu Yunxi saw the broken wine glass, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
“New Year’s Eve Banquet…”
Mu Xueyan glanced in the direction of the Xiliang Palace and smiled leisurely: "It's time to end it."
"New Year's Eve Banquet?!"
Mu Yunxi suddenly had an idea and looked shocked: "You want to enter the palace?"
"Yes."
Mu Xueyan smiled jokingly: "Although Hu Qianqiu, the charlatan, has a bad heart, his fortune-telling skills are still pretty good. He said he wanted to go to the palace on New Year's Eve, so he must have a reason to go."
"The old monk of Penglai Fairy Pavilion, Master of Wisdom, once said that Xiliang's generals will encounter a disaster in their lives and are at risk of dying young. I think his disaster has come true tonight."
-
"The general star of Xiliang?!"
Mu Yunxi was shocked: "Xuanyuan Jifeng?"
"Yes, that's him."
Mu Xueyan took out a sound transmission talisman from her storage ring and threw it to him, carefully advising: "I have to go to the palace. The duty of guarding the cave is up to you. If there is anything, please contact me in time. I will rush back as soon as possible."
"Okay, I see."
Mu Yunxi took the sound transmission note and held it in her palm.
"gone."
Mu Xueyan smiled, then flew into the air on her sword, like a dazzling star cutting through the night sky and flying into the distance.
"Miss Yan, take care."
Mu Yunxi watched her back as she flew away, and remained silent for a long time before sadly withdrawing his gaze.

Xiliang Palace, New Year’s Eve Banquet.
There are music of stringed instruments and flutes, and singing and dancing in peace and prosperity.
The dancer twisted her flexible waist and danced to the rhythm of the music.
All the officials were toasting each other.
There was singing and laughter at the night banquet, as if the death of the Second Prince and the disappearance of Concubine Hui had never happened.
Xuanyuan Li embraced concubines on both sides, flirted and enjoyed himself with them, and allowed them to toast him, accepting none of them.
After three rounds of drinking, his eyes gradually became blurry and his consciousness became a little fuzzy.
"The emperor is drunk. Send him back to the palace."
The second prince's biological mother, the Empress Dowager, suppressed her sadness and anger, ordered people to bring the imperial sedan chair over, and personally helped him back to the palace to rest.
"I'm not drunk."
Xuanyuan Li pushed the queen away impatiently and stood up from the dragon throne shakily.
"Whoosh."
A cold arrow flew from outside the palace and shot into his heart.
Xuanyuan Li sobered up and pulled a concubine over to stand in front of him.
The concubine was shot to death.
The night banquet suddenly became chaotic with screams heard continuously.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Countless arrows, with sharp whistling sounds, came from all directions.
"There are assassins."
"Protect the Emperor."
Xuanyuan Li's secret guard appeared from the darkness and stood in front of him with a sword.
"Father, I'm here."
The Sixth Prince led hundreds of guards to rescue the emperor, and their speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.
Xuanyuan Li's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer.
He is not old yet.
His good sons couldn't wait any longer.
-
"Your Majesty, I am afraid."
A concubine was trembling with fear and approached him with hunched shoulders.
Xuanyuan Li frowned impatiently and was about to push her away when the concubine suddenly looked murderous, took out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed him in the heart.
Xuanyuan Li blocked subconsciously, and his arm was cut by the dagger, bleeding profusely.
"Boom."
The concubine was knocked away by the secret guards, spitting out blood and falling to the ground.
"Your Majesty, you are injured."
The Queen's face turned pale and she tremblingly raised her handkerchief, trying to bandage his wound.
"Your Highness, your acting is excellent."
Xuanyuan Li suddenly smiled playfully, grabbed her wrist and shook it hard.
"what."
The Queen staggered back and nearly tumbled down the steps.
"Mother."
The eldest prince was horrified and rushed forward to support his mother.
"His Majesty."
The queen's eyes were filled with grief and anger: "What do you mean?"
"He directed and acted by himself, forcing the emperor to abdicate and ask for punishment."
Xuanyuan Li sneered disdainfully: "Isn't it a little too urgent for the Queen to murder her own husband?"
"Father."
The eldest prince's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked guiltily: "My mother is sincere to you, how can you say that she directed and acted it herself?"
"what!"
Suddenly, there was a scream outside the palace. Dozens of assassins who shot arrows were killed and their bodies were thrown in from outside.
There was another cry of surprise in the palace. All the officials were terrified and retreated one after another, fearing that they would be in trouble.
"Report to Father."
Xuanyuan Jifeng entered the hall in full military uniform, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. "All the assassins hiding in the dark have been wiped out, leaving no one alive."
"Xuanyuan Jifeng?!"
The eldest prince's face changed drastically: "Didn't you defect from the palace and betray your father?"
"When did this prince defect from the palace and betray my father?"
Xuanyuan Jifeng sneered, raised the blood-dripping sword, and pointed it at the concubine lying on the ground, dying: "Who of us betrayed our father? Anyone with a discerning eye will know."
"Don't spit blood at me. Concubine Liu has nothing to do with this prince."
The eldest prince was still trying to argue, but Xuanyuan Jifeng waved his sword and pierced his heart.
"puff."
The eldest prince didn't expect that he dared to kill someone in public. He fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.
"Your Majesty, my Majesty."
The queen was heartbroken. She rushed over and hugged the eldest prince, crying bitterly.
"Come here, drag Concubine Liu away and execute her by slow slicing."
Xuanyuan Li's face was dark, without any mercy: "The queen is imprisoned in the cold palace and is not allowed to leave the palace for life."
"Your Majesty, what a shame!"
The queen was filled with grief and indignation, and she kept shouting, "I did not instruct Concubine Liu to assassinate Your Majesty. I am innocent."
"What an innocent person."
Xuanyuan Li walked down the steps, bent down to pick up the silk handkerchief that the queen had dropped on the ground, and threw it on her face: "For the sake of my three sons, I wanted to spare your life, but you didn't repent and dared to quibble."
"I dare not deceive the emperor."
When the queen saw the silk handkerchief, she shuddered with fear.
