Chapter 3830 The Stars Were a Dream Last Night (39)

Du Jiusheng was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

When Luo Qingchen saw the change on his face, she couldn't help but raise a mocking smile. She didn't expect that such a play would be performed in the theater today.

"Such an ending is probably a tragedy..."

"It's just a tragedy if it's a woman..." Luo Qingchen calmly took a sip of tea and said, "If it's a man, he can keep it all. After all, three wives and four concubines are normal here."

Du Jiu Sheng's eyebrows seemed to be stunned for a moment, and he lowered his eyes for a long time and said, "Maybe."

Just as the two of them were looking at each other in silence, a somewhat unfamiliar waiter came over with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.

"Young lady, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you ordered just now." He lowered his head, his voice was a little deep, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Luo Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he was about to continue asking, the waiter had already pulled out a dagger from under the plate of osmanthus cake and attacked Du Jiu Sheng.

"Be careful—" Luo Qingchen's first reaction was to reach out to grab the dagger, but Du Jiu Sheng reacted faster than her and pushed her away.

The sharp dagger cut his wrist. The next second, he snatched the dagger from the opponent's hand and saw blood sealing his throat.

"ah--"

There were screams all around, and five or six men in black fell from the sky, each holding a weapon.

Almost without saying a word, Luo Qingchen picked up Nian An and took a step back.

She must always be aware that she is not alone now. Even if she wants to use her life to protect Du Jiu Sheng, she can't do it now.

Nian An is still with her. He is just a child under two years old and cannot be harmed.

"Stand behind me." Du Jiusheng narrowed his eyes coldly, with a cold light in his eyes.

Luo Qingchen stood behind him obediently. At this moment, she suddenly felt that he seemed to be the same Du Jiusheng as before, and he had never changed.

The hand raised the sword and dropped it, the sword's intention was cold.

In less than half a moment, all the enemies fell to the ground, and no one survived.

The next second, he knelt on the ground, supported his body with his sword, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qingchen rushed forward to support him and said, "Are you injured?"

"No..." He coughed slightly and said, "The dagger just now was poisonous."

Luo Qingchen was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale, and she suddenly felt like a storm was about to come after spending so many years peacefully.

But there was no trace of panic in Du Jiu Sheng's eyes, and he was so calm that it made one's heart tremble.

"Go back to the palace first..."

"Um."

-

After four hours of treatment by the imperial physician, the poison in Du Jiu Sheng's body was completely eliminated.

This was probably the first time that Mu Waner came to Du Jiu Sheng's palace, Taihe Palace, since she entered Weiyang Palace.

Knowing that Du Jiu Sheng was poisoned, Mu Waner hurried over without even combing her hair.

She glanced at Luo Qingchen and said nothing. Instead, she knelt down in front of Du Jiusheng and quietly cried, "Are you okay?"

He shook his head slightly, his tone was slightly cold, and he waved his hand: "Go back."

"But..." Mu Waner seemed to want to say something more, but she finally sighed deeply and said, "I leave you."

This was the first time Luo Qingchen heard the sound of "Concubine", and she felt something click deep in her heart, which was extremely unbearable.

After Mu Waner left, the imperial doctor was also dismissed by Du Jiusheng, leaving her and him alone in the entire Taihe Palace.
