Chapter 268 How can you say that everything is perfect?

Tao Yanyan played with the two children on the top of the mountain for a long time. As time passed, there was still no sign of the emperor and Li Zhaoyi.

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, and Qingfeng stepped forward to comfort her, "Your Majesty, His Majesty and the others may be slow, so they should be able to come up after a while."

Tao Yanyan looked at the road leading up the mountain, and could not see a single person. He sneered, "It doesn't matter. When I saw Li Zhaoyi today, I had a feeling that this outing would not be so successful."

She took a sip of the water Mingyue handed over and moistened her throat. "Nine out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. How can you say that everything is perfect? Set your expectations lower and you will be less disappointed. If you two get married in the future, you must remember that you must not put men first in everything. You must put loving yourself first."

The two little palace maids said nothing, both feeling very sorry for their master.

The master had prepared for this outing for a long time, and he had fought for the opportunity himself.

The master's birthday is in a few days. This month should have been a happy month for the master, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Just when they were filled with regret, they saw two shadow guards hurried over and quickly reported the situation to Tao Yanyan.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Tao, Concubine Li encountered a group of bandits who suddenly appeared from nowhere on the road! After His Majesty learned the news, he quickly returned to rescue her." One of the shadow guards said solemnly.

Tao Yanyan couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard this: "Li Zhaoyi encountered bandits? They chased her up from the bottom of the mountain? Otherwise, why didn't we encounter them along the way?"

If they had been lying in ambush on the mountain for a long time, then his team should have encountered them first. Tao Yanyan also remembered that when the emperor took Li Zhaoyi to visit Li Taifei, they also encountered bandits. Could they be the same group of people?

You know, when His Majesty went to the hot spring palace, he had a safe journey and never encountered any danger. Could it be that...

She pondered secretly, her eyes involuntarily looking towards the direction of Jingci Temple at the foot of the mountain, muttering: "This Jingci Temple is really unlucky. Why does something bad happen every time Your Majesty comes here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several shadow guards also felt strange, but Shadow Three had been monitoring this place for a long time and did not find anything wrong.

Apart from the fact that Concubine Li and Marquis Ningyuan were too close, there was really nothing suspicious.

Tao Yanyan shook his head gently, trying to get rid of these distracting thoughts. The most urgent thing now was to ensure the safety of himself and the children and get down the mountain safely.

She looked at her team. In addition to the few people from Changle Palace, there were a dozen guards and two shadow guards sent by His Majesty.

She looked at the two shadow guards and said, "Since there are bandits, are you sure you can protect everyone?"

The two shadow guards looked at each other and answered in unison: "Please rest assured, Madam Tao, we will do our best to ensure that you, the prince, and the princess are safe!"

Tao Yanyan nodded: "Yin Jiu, if anything happens, you just need to protect Jin An, don't be distracted, and take him away safely."

She pointed to a shadow guard and said, "You protect the princess, but you can't be distracted. You are the only one left. You will be in charge of commanding the guards to protect everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three shadow guards seemed to hear some noise and immediately took a protective stance.

"Your Majesty, please step back quickly, someone is coming!" Yin Jiu protected the people behind him and looked in one direction.

Tao Yanyan swallowed her saliva. Although she often saw these big scenes of fighting and killing in movies and TV dramas, it was really indescribable tension to be in the situation herself. She couldn't help but protect the two children behind her and let Dong Fang and Chang Tai protect the people.

A group of mysterious bandits appeared quietly like ghosts and quickly surrounded Tao Yanyan and his group. All of them were masked, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp eyes, which gave off a chilling aura. They were agile and quick, and it was obvious that each of them had unique skills and strong martial arts.

However, strangely, they did not seem to intend to hurt anyone, and the leader shouted, "Empress Tao, if you follow us obediently, everyone else can get down the mountain safely."

Hearing this, Tao Yanyan's heart sank suddenly, and she instantly realized that these people were coming specifically for her!

But she had never had any grudges against anyone, so what was the reason that led them to kidnap her? And who was the mastermind behind all this? Countless questions came to her mind, but the situation was urgent and she had no time to think about it.

Seeing that the other party was numerous and aggressive, Tao Yanyan made an immediate arrangement. She looked at Yin Jiu beside her and said anxiously, "Yin Jiu, Jin'an is in your hands!" Then she ordered a shadow guard, "Go and escort Xuan'er, and take the others to leave this place first!"

However, the young Jin'an was not willing to leave obediently. He hugged Tao Yanyan's legs tightly, crying and making a fuss and refused to let go, shouting, "I don't want to go, I want to be with my mother!" Xuan'er, who was standing beside him, was so scared that she burst into tears, and her tears flowed like a flood.

"Hurry up! There's no time to waste! Go ask His Majesty for help!" Tao Yanyan urged everyone anxiously.

"Your Majesty, we will never abandon you. I will stay and deal with them. You guys leave quickly!" Yin Jiu winked at the other two secret guards, and the two of them made up their minds to break out with Concubine Tao and the two children.

"it's useless!"

As a voice from the void was heard, everyone subconsciously looked up.

In the sky, a man in black clothes was seen flying slowly towards them. The ghost mask covering his face revealed a mysterious aura. His powerful aura made people tremble with fear. Even Yin Jiu and his shadow guards couldn't help but take a step back.

Tao Yanyan tried hard to search the original owner's memory, but she couldn't remember any intersection with this person. She squinted her eyes and tried to calm herself down, but she was extremely anxious.

"Mother, he can fly!" Little Jin'an forgot to cry and pointed at the man in black clothes: "Is he the flying demon king that mother told me about in the story before?"

The baby voice floated into the ears of the Demon King, and he almost fell to the ground.

The Demon Lord calmed his mind, landed on the ground with a light Kung Fu, and looked at the little guy behind Tao Yanyan: "Why, your mother mentioned me again?"

Tao Yanyan: "..."

What did she hear? Was she so unlucky that she actually encountered a demonic cult?

As the man gradually approached, everyone could feel a powerful pressure surging from him. This kind of oppression could only be felt when His Majesty was furious. The masked man in front of them just stood there so relaxedly, and it almost made them breathless.
