The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 30

"How are you preparing for tonight?"

In a dimly lit room, two black shadows stood face to face. The one who asked the question was a man wearing a black shirt and a wide hat. Meanwhile, the man in front of him had the feature of carrying a sword in his right hand.

"All is ready. Just waiting for orders from the Master." The man with the sword answered.

"alright. Make sure tonight the palace will be in chaos." He said while grinning.

Huang Long really had to be stopped immediately, otherwise his plan all along would have been chaotic. He doesn't want to wait for a long time.

After the two finished conversing, they finally came out from there and immediately separated upon reaching the outer door. The place they were talking about was a shop in the corner of the city. The location of the store was in a remote place, so the surrounding situation looked very quiet.

Not long after, Xie Hongyi finally arrived at the banquet hall. Many people wearing luxurious clothes and beautiful looks entered the hall. Xie Hongyi knew that they were nobles in the Southern Kingdom.

"Hunph, what good is a woman going to the battlefield?"

Xie Hongyi was convinced that the speech filled with sarcastic tone was aimed at him. She originally wanted to ignore, but at the moment seeing the woman's disgusted look at her, Xie Hongyi was a little angry. "Do we have any unfinished business? But I don't think so, because I think we've never met before."

The girl then replied casually. "I know we had no business before. I just don't like a woman who's acting like she wants to."

Xie Hongyi raised one of his hands as Yi'er was about to speak in reply to the girl. "This lady thinks that the actions I'm doing are as good as they are?"

"of course. Even I can guess you must have teased the man on the battlefield there. What a stupid act. I also assume the people who agreed to let you go are also fools."

"Before Miss called me stupid, do you know who let me go?"

With confidence, the girl answered. "Of course it must be the lowly and stupid officials, right?"

Miss, are you stupid? It is possible that the small vote submitted will be approved by the court. All right, enough for anything to do with stupidity. "No. But it was His Majesty the Emperor who allowed me to leave. Ah, didn't this young lady say that the one who allowed me to go to the battlefield was a fool? Meaning Miss thinks His Majesty the Emperor is stupid?"

Astonished by what Xie Hongyi said, the Miss's face was pale. He then said in a stammer. "I-I didn't mean to..."

It was too late, without waiting for what he said, Xie Hongyi went inside the hall. He was in the hall, not a single person greeted Xie Hongyi like the others.

Xie Hongyi also did not intend to mince words with them. He was unwilling to deal with the nobles who were average sycophants.

A person's heart cannot be known, but feelings can be manipulated.

Xie Hongyi swept a glance at everyone in the hall. He didn't see any of the General's families among those people. Will there be a special banquet for them later? When Xie Hongyi's gaze met the girl he met at the door of the hall, he grinned. The girl seemed to realize that she was being stared at by someone, and after knowing who it was, she broke out in a cold sweat. The girl sat in the Chen family row. Xie Hongyi was slightly satisfied when he saw the girl being scared. Though the speech was just a joke, but it looks like the girl took him seriously.

At this moment, Huang Long came and made the originally crowded hall quiet. Behind him was Empress Shi, Consort Hu and Consort Chen following.

After the South Emperor sat down, Huang Long then raised his glass cup after the wine was poured by Empress Shi. He then invited everyone in the hall to repeat. "Zhen thanked the parties involved in the victory this time around. For that, let's toast." Huang Long's hand then raised the glass cup and drank the contents. Huang Long's movement was then followed by everyone, except Xie Hongyi.

Xie Hongyi clasped for a long time the glass containing wine. He thought a little, then had an idea. His hand then pointed the glass cup to his mouth, and without anyone noticing, Xie spilled the entire contents of the cup onto his shirt by utilizing the wide part of his sleeves to cover up his actions.

After everyone drank a glass of wine, they continued the conversation and made the atmosphere of the hall again crowded.

As entertainment, the palace then brought a group of dancers. The dancers were smoothly doing her dance moves and making everyone stare at them.

"Concubine Xie, why do your clothes look wet?"Xie Hongyi gasped when he heard his voice. He allowed it and then found out that Empress Shi was the one who asked him that question. Smiling, she answered the Queen's question. "Ah, maybe but I accidentally spilled water."

"Oh." After saying so, Empress Shi did not say anything more and looked back at the group of dancers.

Empress Shi Open was a meticulous person. He could even tell that there was water spilling on Xie Hongyi's clothes, whereas Xie Hongyi was now wearing dark clothes, where water-like stains would not be too visible.

The music finally stopped. The dancers are now paying their respects to everyone. The dancer who was standing at the very front suddenly advanced and then tried to attack Huang Long with a dagger. The hall then became boisterous with shouts of "Your Majesty!"

It was fortunate that the dancer's movements could be thwarted by one of the nobles sitting close to Huang Long. The dancer was successfully knocked out and is now kneeling in front of Huang Long. "Who told you to?" Huang Long asked coldly. The dancer shut her mouth tightly while looking down.

When Huang Long was about to ask again, he suddenly felt his stomach ache. The pain was so severe that he could no longer speak. Before long, almost everyone in the hall was also holding their stomachs with faces in pain. They were poisoned!

When things got a little chaotic, the kneeling dancer played her finger, like she was gesturing. The other dancers who saw the sign then took the sword that became the property of the dance. No one thought that it was the real sword when the dancers used it.

The hall became chaotic. People cannot fight because they are in pain. At this moment, Dugu An appeared together with a group of secret guards. The group of dancers also fight against the group Dugu An.

People in pain were then evacuated out of the hall. Originally, Xie Hongyi was also about to be evacuated, but at this moment the system instead gave him a mission.

[Consideration! The mission has been triggered. Please help Dugu An's group fight the dancers]

Xie Hongyi had no other choice but to comply with the system.
