Black Witch Petting Husband Strategy

Chapter 493: Palace Banquet Assassin

At this critical moment, the Regent Ye Ziling's eyes flashed with cold light, and he threw the teacup in his hand like a meteor at the man in black without hesitation! With a crisp "clang" sound, the sharp sword that was originally aimed at the Queen Mother's life and flashing with cold light was deviated by this sudden blow.

Then, Ye Ziling flashed and approached like a ghost, fighting with the man in black with his bare hands. At the same time, many well-trained guards seemed to descend from the sky, appearing around the little king and the queen mother in an instant, protecting them tightly.

However, what surprised Ni Naina, who was standing by and watching the battle, was that in the face of such a dangerous and tense situation, the queen mother and the young king did not show the slightest fear. They sat there steadily, watching the fierce battle in front of them calmly, with calm expressions and no panic, as if such scenes were already commonplace for them.

At this moment, as more and more guards joined the battle, the Regent Ye Ziling was a martial arts master after all. After only a few moves, he hit the assassin's chest with a fierce palm wind.

The assassin groaned, and his body involuntarily stepped back a few steps, and finally fell to his knees in front of the little king and the queen mother. Seeing this, the guards rushed over, quickly tied him up, and pressed him firmly to the ground.

All the ministers were in a panic throughout the whole process, only Ni Naina, Queen Mother Qin Hanmo and the little king sat there calmly watching them fight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Regent!" The little king said softly, looking at the highly respected and powerful Regent in front of him with gratitude.

"Protecting the king's safety is my duty." The Regent said with a slight bow.

"You bold lunatic! How dare you openly assassinate the king and the queen mother? Who ordered you to do this? Tell the truth now! If you tell even a single lie, I will make you live a life worse than death!" The eldest prince Ye Nanqing, who was standing aside, questioned angrily:

Facing the eldest prince's stern questioning, the tied-up assassin just snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt, and replied without fear:

"Hmph! You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but if you want me to betray my master, no way! Do it now if you have the guts!" The assassin seemed to have already put life and death aside and did not take the people present seriously at all.

"Someone, lock up this assassin. I want to interrogate him personally this time!" At this moment, the little king no longer had the childishness of a child. Instead, he had the kingly aura of an adult.

"Yes!" The guard immediately responded and stepped forward to take the assassin away.

"In the past three months, more than a dozen groups of assassins have attempted to take the lives of the king and me! This is undoubtedly due to the poor governance of our Northern Kingdom. I am really ashamed that I have made a fool of myself in the eyes of your country's God of War." The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, nodding slightly to Qin Hanmo in front of her to express her apology.

Qin Hanmo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and comforted: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This situation is very common. Just like in a big family, there are always some naughty children who occasionally cause trouble." His tone was relaxed and steady, as if he was accustomed to such things.

At this moment, the eldest prince Ye Nanqing, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly stepped forward, saluted respectfully to the queen mother, and said with concern: "Queen Mother, why don't you go back to the palace to rest and recuperate first."

After hearing what Ye Nanqing said, the Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Well, that's fine. Then I'll go back to my bedroom to rest." After that, she slowly stood up and walked out of the palace with a dignified manner.

Everyone present bowed and watched the Queen Mother leave.

After the assassination, the scene was in chaos for a while, but soon calmed down. The melodious music sounded again, and the beautiful dancers danced again, as if the thrilling scene just now had never happened. At the same time, the heated discussion about poetry continued.

Everyone stood up one by one and introduced themselves to the guests. However, in this lively and peaceful atmosphere, Ni Naina never saw the figure of the mysterious national teacher from the north.

As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end. The little king announced the end of the banquet, and all the officials in the court saluted and watched the little king leave.

When Ni Naina was about to leave, she was suddenly stopped by a servant, who told her that the little king wanted to meet her alone.

After Ni Naina and Qin Hanmo looked at each other, Qin Hanmo left the palace alone, while Ni Naina was taken into the little king's royal study.
