In the palace, people were coming and going. At the banquet, everyone was laughing and flattering, and the scene was very lively.
The banquet is about to begin, and everyone has already sat down. Except for the dragon chair at the top and the seat on the left, which is empty, the other seats are basically full.
Naturally, many people came to such an important event as the emperor's birthday banquet. As a concubine of the prime minister's house, Jun Yunyun was not qualified to come. However, relying on Han Sicheng's relationship, she managed to come to the banquet and sat down with Jun Yunyun.
Detian's side.
Jun Yunyun arrived, but Jun Qingyue was still nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but ask: "Why hasn't she appeared yet?"
"Sister has never attended the banquet before. She probably forgot the time. I have just been noticed. Father, don't worry." Jun Yunyun agreed. After hearing this, Jun Detian wanted to say something more. Before he could speak, a sharp voice came from outside.
The voice came, interrupting his words——
"Your Majesty is here!"
As the voice fell, a bright yellow figure appeared and climbed onto the place where the dragon chair was. Everyone stood up and saluted quickly——
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Let us pay homage to Your Majesty!"
The crowd's voices rang out, and the handsome emperor was already sitting in his seat. The man sat down with a kind smile on his face. After hearing the crowd's shouts, he said: "Today's birthday banquet, you don't need to be polite, all of you are welcome."
Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone took their seats again.
After a simple salute, the emperor slowly raised his eyes and announced the start of the banquet. In an instant, singing and dancing began, the feast began, and everyone began to give gifts.
The gifts were presented one by one. In the end, all the gifts were presented and the banquet was halfway through. No one noticed anything was wrong. Jun Detian himself gradually forgot about Jun Qingyue's absence.
After everyone presented their gifts, the emperor looked around and his eyes fell on Jun Detian.
"Master Prime Minister, where is Princess Qingyue? Why can't I see the princess?"
The emperor lowered his eyes. He had a handsome face, and there was a bit of majesty between his brows, showing his dignity without being angry.
"Your Majesty, I have informed you about the banquet. Qingyue is probably still on the way. She may have been delayed by something, so she has not been able to arrive. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Jun Detian explained quickly.
"It's already halfway through the banquet, and we haven't arrived yet. I'm afraid it's not that something has delayed me, but that I don't want to come at all."
In the crowd, Han Jianing suddenly spoke up, reminding the emperor every word that Jun Qingyue did it on purpose!
"Jianing! Don't talk nonsense!"
Han Sicheng frowned and scolded.
"Did I make a mistake? The banquet has been going on for so long, and she still hasn't come now. The Prime Minister and Yunyun are already here. What could possibly happen to her that she hasn't come for so long?" Han Jianing sneered, what happened at the auction last time?
She still remembers it now. She finally caught Jun Qingyue today, how could she let it go?
"Your Majesty, sister, she did not despise His Majesty on purpose. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I hope it will be dealt with lightly."
Jun Yunyun followed suit.
"I'm just a little late, but it's really flattering to have so many people speaking up for me."
Before the emperor could speak, the girl's voice came, interrupting his words, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice!
The girl is dressed in purple, her beautiful face is like a painting, and her movements are indescribably noble. She is as calm and indifferent as an immortal, making it impossible to ignore her existence.
Jun Qingyue walked from outside the palace, walked to the center, and said calmly: "Qingyue was delayed because of something on the road. I couldn't come in time. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Qingli's voice sounded in the silent hall. The emperor was stunned for a moment. The appearance of the person in front of him overlapped with the appearance in his memory. He couldn't help but stand up and looked at Jun Qingyue with some excitement:
"It's okay. When you go out, you will inevitably run into some delays. It'll be fine when you come."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jun Qingyue replied calmly. After speaking, she glanced at everyone present and took in all their expressions.
Before coming, she peeked into the memory of the killer. In her memory, someone here wanted a token that would allow him to command the world. The thing was in the hands of the eldest princess before. After the eldest princess died, they thought that the thing was in the original owner's possession.
On hand.
So, for so many years, while looking for things, they drugged the original owner to make her a useless person.
Make her unable to resist.
Then he became a piece of meat that could be slaughtered by others, and became a laughing stock that could be trampled on by others. In recent days, they have frequently taken action because they discovered that they were able to practice and the situation was gradually out of their control.
Therefore, even if they can't find anything left by the eldest princess, they still have to kill her at this time.
The emperor, the eldest princess, and all the ministers are all closely related. Among them, some people want her to die, and some want her to live. All the reasons originated from eighteen years ago.
The treasure left behind after the eldest princess died.
Jun Qingyue found it a bit funny. There were so many people present, all with evil intentions, and they all looked like dogs. Eighteen years ago, they couldn't defeat the eldest princess, and they still wanted to harm her daughter after her death?
It's simply ridiculous.
If it were the original owner, she definitely wouldn't be able to deal with these people. It's a pity that she is not the original owner.
No matter who is behind it, there will be no second chance.
Jun Qingyue suddenly appeared, leaving Jun Yunyun unable to react for a moment. Didn't her mother say... that the killers arranged this time were at least around the strength of the great spiritual master? Why could Jun Qingyue still appear here?!
"Sister...you're here. It's a good thing you're here, otherwise you would have been blamed. Please sit down quickly."
Jun Yunyun greeted Jun Qingyue. After saying that, she thought of something else and added:
"However, sister, you are just late. Everyone has already presented birthday gifts to His Majesty's birthday banquet. Sister, you have not yet presented birthday gifts."
Jun Qingyue went out in a hurry. Even if those people on the way failed to kill her, she probably wouldn't have had time to prepare birthday gifts, right?
Without a birthday gift, it would be a joke for her to come here.
"Birthday gift?" Jun Qingyue raised her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty is blessed with great grace and has a grand birthday. I believe that Your Majesty has seen all the precious gifts. There are no good things here in Qingyue, only a few pills that I refined by myself. I hope you can
Your Majesty, don’t dislike it.”
"Elixir?" The emperor's eyes lit up: "You actually know how to make elixirs?"
"Exactly."
Jun Qingyue nodded.
"A notorious loser says he can make medicine, and he's not afraid of laughing out loud." Han Jianing whispered beside him, and after finishing speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and sneered:
"Princess Qingyue can even refine medicine, so she must be a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion, right? Otherwise, why would she have the nerve to say that she is a pharmacist?"
When Jun Qingyue heard this, she gave her a neutral look.
That look looked like he was looking at a fool.
Han Jianing was immediately furious. What does this trash mean?
How dare you look at her like that!
So before Jun Qingyue could say anything, Han Jianing added: "It just so happens that my brother is also in the Medicine Pavilion. He is the newly recruited pharmacist in the Medicine Pavilion. If Princess Qingyue is also an pharmacist, she should be in the Medicine Pavilion. Have you met my brother?"
Her words were somewhat sarcastic: "Or, Princess, you are not actually an alchemist at all?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him immediately started talking, and some even laughed out loud.
Alchemist?
You're a piece of trash, I'm afraid you don't even know what cultivation is, right? You still have the nerve to say you're an alchemist.
