Chapter 2961 Counterattack of the Cowardly Empress 29

"Prime Minister, our people have already been arranged, but now this sacrificial ceremony is not a good time to start. The Empress has been protected by hidden comforts. If this assassination fails, our people will be exposed. It is also a great danger to the Prime Minister!!!”

A little maid came up and pretended to be pouring water for the snow, but she whispered something anxiously in Xu Xue's ear, "Prime Minister, there is still time, as long as you give an order. The people we have trained will be withdrawn in time without any casualties."

If it were normal, Xu Xue's rational brain would definitely make everyone retreat, waiting for the next opportunity.

But now, Zhao Li was so disappointed that he didn't even bother to give her a look. As the prime minister, he was also unable to go to the sacrificial ceremony. Such a great humiliation and the anger in her heart made her brain start to become irrational.

"The Empress is no longer as cowardly as before, so I can be fooled. Now in the palace, our people are basically unable to get close to the Empress. This time out for the sacrificial ceremony is our best chance. If we have to wait for the next time, we will When are you waiting!!"

"The Empress is already weakening my power, should I wait until I've been exiled?" Xu Xue gritted her teeth in resentment, her eyes blazing with hatred, "Right now Do it, even if you fail to assassinate the Empress, you will have to hurt her!!!"

The bell on the top of Fenghuang Mountain rang again, which means that the sacrificial ceremony has officially started. At this time, the light rain is still falling, and the guards who are blocking the intersection are still standing upright like pines and cypresses.

The harem concubines who were left at the foot of the mountain suddenly let out a whimpering cry.

Zhao Li returned to the sedan chair with an ugly face.

Only Xu Xue was left standing outside.

She looked at the lush mountain top from a distance, her hands clenched tightly into fists.

Dong Dong Dong, after the huge bell was tolled, all the people knelt down and bowed.

Yue Xi stood indifferently, without any reaction at all.

The female official beside her stared at her majesty in a stunned manner, without any movement in her hands, she was in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.

Your Majesty, what are you doing? ? This is the annual sacrificial ceremony to pray to God to let the Mingyue Kingdom have a good weather. Your Majesty must not be so willful! ! !

Yue Xi didn't pay any attention to the female officer's constant gaze, and instead looked at everyone kneeling down with interest.

With their palms up and their foreheads on the ground, they looked sincere.

tsk......

It's just a prayer for the way of heaven. Every time the human beings in the small world are accompanied by this sacrificial ceremony, they will give the way of heaven a power called faith after completion.

Want her to do as the locals do and follow this group of stupid mortals to worship the way of heaven? ? Think beautifully.

Zhao Jue was also confused by the side. He pulled Yuexi's sleeve nervously, "Yuexi, you have to kneel down and pray."

"Kneeling ass!! He's worthy too??" Yue Xi rolled her eyes very rudely and couldn't help but let out a foul language, "Those who want me to kneel on this place are not afraid of losing their life."

Seeing that Zhao Jue was already half-kneeling, she pulled him up very simply.

No matter what kneeling, Heavenly Dao does not deserve Xi Hua to kneel.

This time, she deliberately hid all the masters around her in order to give those who wanted to assassinate her a chance.

After all, now that the palace has been completely controlled by her people, those who want to assassinate have no way to succeed. Now that they have finally arrived outside the palace, Yue Xi can't believe it. Prime Minister Situ and the heroine will not do anything? ?

In addition, she was at the foot of the mountain and deliberately humiliated the male and female protagonists. In the face of living a life, she felt that she was the protagonist, a proud and invincible female protagonist, and a male protagonist who was born humble but has strong self-esteem.

Such humiliation is not enough to make them frazzle? ? to get impulsive?

"Your Majesty, how can you..." Zhao Jue wanted to speak, but his lips were blocked by Yue Xi's fingertips. He stared at the person in front of him and winked mischievously at him.

"Shh, don't talk, the people below are all kneeling quietly, do you want to attract their attention and let them see how we are standing at this moment??"

Yue Xi looked at Zhao Jue with a smile.

Zhao Jue was helpless and could only sigh.

She is so capricious.

The female official standing next to her had closed her eyes in despair, and she only hoped that her Majesty's willful behavior would not be discovered by the ministers.

When it was time to get up, the female official finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to shout out that sentence, "The worship is completed, the officials will rise!!!"

After the ministers heard the order, they slowly got up.

Just as the ministers got up to sort out their clothes and prepare for the next round of worship, bursts of air-breaking voices attacked Yuexi.

"Ahhhh!!!" Some ministers stood in front, unfortunately hit the stroke, fell to the ground and let out a scream before dying of anger.

There was such a sudden change in the good sacrificial ceremony, and everyone who was beaten was caught off guard.

"Come on, there are assassins!"

"There are assassins, hurry up and protect Your Majesty!!"

Yue Xi calmly pulled the terrified Zhao Jue behind her.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and get into the sedan chair!!!" Li Hua was the first to rush with someone

Come here and surround Yuexi in groups.

Yue Xi didn't refuse either, and under the cover of people, she stuffed Zhao Jue into the sedan chair.

As the emperor, the sedan chair was naturally carefully crafted. Unless the enemy killed it, no sharp bow and arrow could penetrate the iron wall of the sedan chair.

Yue Xi lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, the outside was already in chaos, and the assassins who were covering their faces with only one pair of eyes exposed were staring at her place.

The ministers also cuddled in the corners and held their heads, because the steps to the Phoenix Mountain are very narrow, and the ministers ran there one after another in order to escape for their lives, plus the rain and the slippery road, each one was like a dumpling. rolled off.

Seeing that this group of assassins was about to approach, the guards who were hiding in the dark couldn't help but take action.

But before she set off, Yue Xi had already ordered that without her order, even if she died, this group of dark guards could not come out.

So in addition to the female officer who followed Yue Xi, a group of dark guards who were hiding in the dark also began to worry.

As soon as Yue Xi wanted to go out, someone grabbed her sleeve. She looked back and found that Zhao Jue's face was pale, and he was pulling her sleeve tightly.
