Chapter 358 Maid
Chapter 358 Maid
Everyone was immersed in the shock of knowing that Mu Wanyan was the Phoenix Girl. Only Di Xiuyan, who arrived quickly, noticed Mu Wanyan's embarrassing situation.
He strode forward, embraced Mu Wanyan in his arms with heartache, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, the king is here."
The bird felt the pressure from the future emperor, chirped and fluttered a few times, then quickly turned around and fled.
In addition to bird droppings, there were also a few fallen bird feathers floating around under Mu Wanyan's feet. To others, this was a spectacle, but only the person surrounded by hundreds of birds knew how embarrassing it was.
"I don't know what happened. The birds suddenly surrounded me. I was scared to death just now." As soon as Mu Wanyan saw Di Xiuyan, she asked him for help. She was pregnant.
The moment the big hand came over, Mu Wanyan wanted to cry.
Di Xiuyan carefully hugged her and took off his cloak to wrap around her. "It's okay. Maybe it's because Yanyan's clothes are too bright tonight. It's okay. I'm here."
He didn't care about Mu Wanyan's identity, and he had no interest in the throne. If he really wanted to fight for the throne, he would fight with his own hands. How could he rely on a woman?
His sharp eyes looked around and he immediately spotted Long Yuan hiding behind the veil.
There was already a deep blood feud between them, which caused so many Xuanwu soldiers to be injured or killed, and now he is trying to provoke his most beloved woman.
Di Xiuyan's expression didn't change much. He just lightly blew a palm wind. Long Yuan, who was standing next to Pei Lingsong, felt that his center of balance was a little unstable.
He covered his chest and could feel a dull pain in his heart, but he could barely bear it.
At this time, the rhythmic sound of dinner drums came, and everyone rushed to the main hall, knowing that tonight's dinner was about to begin.
Long Yuan carefully tidied up his hair and clothes, then calmly followed Pei Lingsong to the dinner party.
Long Yuan is the protagonist of today's dinner. Pei Lingsong values him very much and will definitely introduce this new national master to everyone.
-
The sound of stringed instruments and the clinking of glasses.
Both powerful officials and female relatives toasted Long Yuan, and everyone respected him very much.
Long Yuan clinked glasses one by one, his face flushed, and he drank excitedly.
This was the life he had always dreamed of. After so many years of hardship and poverty, he finally realized his dream.
"Mom and Dad, did you see that? Your son has brought honor to the Long family's ancestral tomb."
Not only that, many palace maids at the banquet showed their affection for him and secretly gave sachets of perfume to the handsome and young Grand Master Long.
Long Yuan was kind and gentle to women and accepted them all.
He quickly memorized the girls' faces and planned to bring them directly into the room after the dinner.
Although he is no longer able to do things in a human way, it does not affect his lustful nature.
Pei Yuxiao hated Long Yuan for plotting against Mu Wanyan. How could he let him survive tonight?
He ordered Fu'an to take the crested red and mix it into the wine, and specially present it to Grand Master Long, who swallowed it in one gulp.
"Thank you, Your Highness! I will ask you for more advice in the future, and I will definitely visit you one day!"
Pei Yuxiao: "Well, you can come on the seventh day!"
Long Yuan: “…”
He was a foreigner and didn't know what the seventh day meant, so he bowed and said, "Well, I will definitely come to visit you in seven days."
Pei Mochen, the third prince of Dafeng Kingdom and Long Yuan's former master, also came over with a wine glass.
He hated Long Yuan for helping Pei Lingsong and also wanted to help his father to covet Mu Wanyan, so there was no way he would let him go tonight.
He mixed the heartbreak grass into the wine, raised the glass to toast, said some polite words, and then Long Yuan drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you, Lord Chen! I am in such a great position today because of your recommendation."
Pei Mochen raised his glass in a toast and said word by word: "Master, you don't have to be polite. You deserve this."
Pei Lingsong reminded Long Yuan from the side, "Master, drink less. I will consummate my marriage with Feng Nu tonight, and I still need your care."
Although he had taken the golden elixir, he still felt that he was powerless. To be on the safe side, he hoped that Long Yuan could use witchcraft to help him.
Long Yuan smiled confidently and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured that your wish will come true today. I, Long Yuan, can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Drunk, drunk, drunk... puff——"
Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat and Long Yuan fell heavily, landing on the back of his head.
He stared with a pair of unwilling eyes, completely out of breath. His dream had just been realized for one day.
Pei Lingsong was shocked and quickly ordered someone to invite Doctor Zhang. In the entire hall, he was the only one who cared the most about Long Yuan.
Doctor Zhang arrived in a very short time. With his superb medical skills, he placed his finger lightly on Long Yuan's pulse, and his expression became complicated.
Why are there so many causes of death?
How many people did he offend?
There are internal injuries, poison, heartbreak grass, red thorns, and a variety of unknown injuries.
Doctor Zhang sighed helplessly, and he also discovered that Long Yuan was a person with no roots.
His life was bitterer than Huang Lian, inhumane, and he had provoked so many enemies. Every move was fatal, and everyone wanted to kill him.
Not only that, even God didn't like him, and hitting the back of his head on the ground was a fatal injury.
Imperial Doctor Zhang shook his head at Pei Lingsong, indicating to him that the Imperial Master was dead.
Pei Lingsong instantly broke out in a cold sweat and slumped down on the dragon throne, feeling as if the sky was falling.
Once Long Yuan died, all his plans came to nothing.
"How could Lord Long die? He was fine just now?" He shed a few rare tears, for Long Yuan, but even more for himself.
Doctor Zhang bowed and answered seriously, "A rootless person who committed suicide by taking poison must have no desire for life at all."
Pei Lingsong nodded to show his understanding, but Su Deping rolled his eyes in disdain.
With this little endurance, you still want to be the national teacher?
There is more than just that one thing to do in the world. Power, money, fine wine, and delicious food, which one is not better than that thing?
Pei Lingsong patted Su Deping's hand, as if he could see what he was thinking.
Long Yuan replied: "You were purified in childhood, and have never experienced happiness, so you naturally don't know the pain of loss."
Pei Lingsong understood Long Yuan very well and felt that he had no hope in this life.

Concubine De called Di Xiuyan to the other courtyard and arranged for dozens of women who were said to be wearing revealing clothes to come over.
The women had delicate make-up on their faces and exuded fragrance, they were all top beauties.
Concubine De called them over and asked the women to salute Emperor Xiuyan.
The beauties have graceful figures and expose a lot of body. During the blessing ceremony, they change their poses and look coquettish and artificial.
"Meet the Regent, pay your respects to the Regent."
A pair of big watery eyes stared at Di Xiuyan in a daze. It would be fine if they didn't look, but looking almost cost the girls their lives.
They were originally selected by Concubine De to be maids of powerful officials, and they had already prepared themselves mentally.
They can accept old and ugly women, even if they become eunuchs' concubines, because they are aiming for wealth and glory.
Who would have thought that with smoke coming out of their ancestral graves and them kowtow to the sky, Concubine De would let them serve such a handsome man?
He has a godly appearance, is the regent, and has an amazing figure... The girls blushed instantly, and all the plots from the storybooks they had read appeared in their minds.
The overbearing prince fell in love with me, spent all his money just to make me smile, and had fun every night. The immortal regent only loved me...
The girls blushed, their imaginations ran wild, their hearts pounded, and they looked forward to sleeping with the man tonight.
Concubine De said to Emperor Xiuyan, "These women are all beauties that I have collected from all over the world. I have given them all to the Regent. What do you think?"
