However, Chu Yue reacted completely differently. She subconsciously covered her sensitive areas with her hand, and when she saw that the person who came in was Ren Ruyi, she didn't care at all!
Ren Ruyi rolled her eyes helplessly at the sight, then walked straight into the house.
Then, Princess Yang Ying peeked out from outside the door, looking at the room with a shy yet curious expression.
"Ahem!" Wei Tingyu was a little embarrassed at this moment, but he knew that Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying were definitely not there to catch them in the act, so he smiled and sat up, looking at them and asking, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing!" Ren Ruyi rolled her eyes at Wei Tingyu after hearing his words, then pouted and said, "It's already noon, why isn't the Marquis up yet?"
As soon as Ren Ruyi finished speaking, Princess Yang Ying quickly followed her in. She closed the door behind her and then ran to the bedside with a puzzled look on her face.
"Is this the new sister?" Princess Yang Ying was seeing Chu Yue for the first time, but she still blushed slightly and tried to suppress her shyness as she spoke, "What a beautiful sister..."
Chuyue's jade-like arm was still wrapped around Wei Tingyu's neck, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all when she saw Yang Ying looking at her like this!
As she got up and dressed, she looked at Yang Ying, blinked, and asked, "You are...?"
"This is Princess Yang Ying, also known as the Prince of Dawu!" Wei Tingyu stood up and explained to Chuyue.
"Princess Yang Ying? Prince Da Wu Li?" Chu Yue was taken aback when she heard this, and then her expression gradually turned to surprise, because she seemed to understand at this moment.
So Wei Tingyu and his group came to An'an to pull off a switcheroo?
However, Chu Yue was also very happy that Wei Tingyu would tell her such a major secret! At least it showed that she had gained his full trust and had truly integrated into his inner circle!
This will make the future of western Saudi Arabia more secure!
When Princess Ren Ruyi and Princess Yang Ying saw that Wei Tingyu had also gotten up, they immediately picked up his clothes and began to help him change.
This was the first time Chu Yue had ever seen anything like this. After she finished dressing, she looked at the two women who were busy around Wei Tingyu, blinked, and went over to them.
Of course, this kind of delicate work was very unfamiliar to Chuyue! Fortunately, this little girl was naturally intelligent, and under the guidance of Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying, she quickly got the hang of it.
"Your Excellency is very happy today!" Princess Yang Ying and Chu Yue got along very well. While instructing Chu Yue on what to do, she looked up at the smile on Wei Tingyu's face and said directly.
"How could I not be happy to have such a beauty?" Ren Ruyi said directly upon hearing this, "But I'm afraid it's not just that, is it?"
This girl is indeed good at reading people. She could tell from Wei Tingyu's expression that he was happy at the moment, and it wasn't just because he got Chuyue.
There must be other reasons!
As soon as Ren Ruyi finished speaking, Chu Yue and Yang Ying both raised their heads and looked at him with some curiosity.
"Of course~" Wei Tingyu nodded with a smile after hearing this, and then said, "It's time for us to settle this important matter!"
Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, both Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying's eyes lit up!
“My strength is now greater than before! In addition, the western part of the desert has submitted!” Wei Tingyu knew, of course, that Ren Ruyi’s hatred for Emperor An had long since reached an uncontrollable level!
As he spoke, he gently lifted Ren Ruyi's pretty face, who was kneeling in front of him, and looked at her, saying, "The time has come!"
Princess Yang Ying was also very excited. She had long wanted to leave Andu, as dressing as a man every day was making her very uncomfortable!
As for her emperor brother, Yang Ying felt that the most important thing at this moment was to rescue him as soon as possible! Whether it would be successful or not was no longer of much concern to her!
"Please give your orders, Lord Marquis!" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu say that he was going to do something important, Chu Yue immediately walked straight to him, knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed, saying, "We in the western part of Sha will follow your lead and obey your commands!"
……
"Ren Xin still hasn't been caught?!" Five days later, in the middle of the night, in the palace of Anguo, Emperor An was reprimanding Deng Hui, who was kneeling in front of him!
"Your Majesty has already spread your spies far and wide, and I believe news will arrive soon!" Deng Hui was covered in sweat, after all, he knew what kind of state the Emperor An was in when he went mad, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty can rest easy for a long time to come!"
"Soon?" Upon hearing Deng Hui's words, Emperor An slammed his hand on the table in front of him, stood up, and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Soon? What do you mean by 'soon'? I know there's an assassin in Andu! When will I ever get a good night's sleep?!"
"Your Majesty..." Deng Hui was startled by Emperor An's actions, and his whole body trembled.
However, before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly shot down from the roof beam, the sword in his hand aimed straight for Emperor An's head!
"Your Majesty!" Deng Hui was shocked upon seeing this and quickly tried to warn him!
Unfortunately, Emperor An knew nothing about martial arts. He only saw a blur before his eyes, and then a cold object was placed against his neck!
His body was also taken over by the suddenly appearing assassin.
"Ren Xin, no!" Deng Hui was startled. He didn't care about etiquette anymore. He quickly got up from the ground, drew his sword, pointed it at the assassin, and shouted loudly.
It was only then that Emperor An realized that the assassin hiding in the palace was none other than Ren Ruyi, whom he had been longing to capture!
"You... how did you do that?" An Di felt a chill run down his neck and looked at Ren Ruyi with some fear as he asked.
Because in his mind, even if Ren Ruyi's martial arts skills were high, there was always a limit. The imperial palace was still a forbidden area for her, and she could not easily enter!
But the real face before him and the cold, sharp sword pressed against his neck told him that this was not an illusion!
"Hmph!" Ren Ruyi was too lazy to answer the old man's question!
After all, if it weren't for Wei Tingyu, her martial arts skills wouldn't have improved so quickly, and this is something that can't be said openly.
"Deng Hui!" Seeing that Ren Ruyi did not answer his question, Emperor An's eyes darted around and he looked at Deng Hui, saying angrily, "How dare you collude with her to murder me?!"
At this moment, Emperor An believed that Ren Ruyi could not possibly have sneaked into the palace using her martial arts skills, so someone must have brought her in!
And this person can only be Deng Hui, who is standing right in front of us!
"Your subject has absolutely no disloyal intentions!" Deng Hui was completely dumbfounded! Could anyone in the Anguo court be more loyal to Emperor An than him? And now, this person was even doubting him?!
"He's so stupid, he's not even worthy of conspiring with me!" Ren Ruyi sneered, seemingly mocking Emperor An's blindness.
"What exactly do you want?!" After hearing their conversation, Emperor An began to doubt his earlier guess. However, he still pretended to be calm and asked Ren Ruyi.
After all, this is a matter of life and death, so at least we should know the other party's purpose first!
However, Ren Ruyi did not reply. Instead, her silence and indifferent gaze made Emperor An feel a little uneasy.
At this moment, Deng Hui dared not make a rash move, after all, Ren Ruyi's sword was held to Emperor An's neck. It could be said that if her hand trembled even slightly, the An Kingdom's court would be immediately without a ruler!
"Ren Xin! Kidnapping the Emperor is a capital offense!" So he rolled his eyes and said again, "Do you think you can escape?"
"Since I dared to come, I have no fear!" Ren Ruyi sneered after hearing Deng Hui's threat, then said firmly, "Come with me!"
After saying that, Ren Ruyi followed the original plan and slowly walked towards the door with Emperor An in her lap.
Emperor An was originally unwilling, but the murderous intent in Ren Ruyi's eyes made him completely unable to resist! The chilling sensation on his neck made the hairs on his body stand on end, and he dared not disobey.
However, Emperor An was an old fox after all. He never fully trusted even his loyal henchmen like Deng Hui. The room was also full of traps and mechanisms.
Just as he was slowly walking towards the door with Ren Ruyi, he inadvertently stepped on a fake button on the floor.
Immediately afterwards, two highly poisoned arrows shot out from the hole in the wall, heading straight for Emperor An and Ren Ruyi.
Emperor An was prepared; he quickly tilted his head back and dodged the two hidden arrows.
Although Ren Ruyi had not expected there to be a trap here, with her current skills, such a trap would naturally not be able to harm her in the slightest!
So, with a slight furrow of her brows, she swiftly flicked her sharp blade in two beautiful sword flourishes, deflecting the hidden arrow toward Deng Hui, who was not far away!
Deng Hui never expected this turn of events!
He had been intently watching Emperor An when he was suddenly attacked. He hurriedly and clumsily dodged the attacks, making himself look quite disheveled, and barely managed to avoid being hit by the two hidden arrows.
Emperor An was also surprised by this result. He never expected that his traps and hidden weapons would be as easy as child's play for Ren Ruyi!
Before he could even react, Ren Ruyi's sword was already at his neck again, leaving him no chance of escape.
"This sword is a token of love given to me by my lover!" Of course, Ren Ruyi was also angry about Emperor An's attempt. She frowned and looked at him, saying, "It has never been used to take a life!"
"Li Jun! Do you want to be the first one?!"
When Emperor An heard Ren Ruyi call him by his name directly, and with such undisguised coldness in her tone, he immediately knew that she might actually try to kill him!
"Ren Xin... what exactly do you want?" Having finally figured it out, An Di's only option was to negotiate with the other party.
"Do you want revenge for the Empress? Or do you want my gold and silver?"
"Heh!" Ren Ruyi sneered, then raised her proud brow slightly and looked at the cowardly Emperor An in front of her, saying, "What I want... is to ring the Anyang Bell!"
Upon hearing Ren Ruyi's request, both Emperor An and Deng Hui immediately frowned!
The Anyang Seed is a sacred object used by the Anguo court to summon all officials!
When this bell rings, all officials in the city who hear it must assemble at the palace!
This naturally means that something big must have happened, and it's a very urgent situation!
They didn't understand why Ren Ruyi was doing this, but for now, it seemed they had no other choice but to comply!
……
clang... clang... clang...
As the loud, deep tolling of the bell echoed through the night sky of Andu, the streets, which had gradually quieted down, suddenly became noisy again.
Without exception, all the officials on night duty in various government offices and the patrolling soldiers on the streets immediately gathered at the palace!
Even some officials who had gone to bed early scrambled onto their carriages, carrying their official robes, and dressed in them as they made their way to the palace.
As all the officials and patrol officers of Andu rushed to the palace and gathered in the square in front of the palace gate, they witnessed a shocking scene.
On the main gate tower of the palace, Emperor An was indeed standing. However, beside him stood a woman dressed in white, holding a sharp sword to his neck!
The two were surrounded by Deng Hui and a group of Zhu Yiwei guards, who completely blocked their way.
The Emperor has been kidnapped by assassins? All the ministers of Andu were dumbfounded, because this was too fantastical.
The assassin kidnapped the emperor but neither ran away nor killed him. Instead, he rang the Anyang Bell to attract everyone's attention. What was his purpose?
All the ministers were discussing the situation with tense expressions, but only one person remained calm and composed, watching everything unfold before him from the crowd.
