In Fengluan Palace, Concubine De was pulled over by Jiang Qiulu.
Concubine De exclaimed and snuggled into Jiang Qiulu's arms.
"My beloved concubine, I will host a banquet in Kunning Palace in three days."
"You can come too then." Jiang Qiulu said softly to Concubine De.
"I heard that we had the advantage in the negotiations between the two countries yesterday."
"I believe it won't be long before the Great Xia Dynasty will return to its peak under the leadership of His Majesty."
Concubine De gently arranged Jiang Qiulu's hair and said at the same time.
But Jiang Qiulu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The war on the northern frontline is now undecided."
"All I can say now is try my best to deal with him. As for leading the troops in battle, it all depends on Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Qiulu sighed and continued.
"The late emperor passed away, and everyone in the court was ready to take action."
"There are even people who covet the throne and are extremely party members, so I have to guard against them."
Jiang Qiulu had never said these words to anyone except Concubine De and anyone he trusted.
Concubine De looked at Jiang Qiulu with some distress.
"Your Majesty, I am a female prostitute who doesn't understand the general situation."
"But I feel that at least many members of the royal family respect you now."
"It's not like before anymore," said Concubine De.
"Now that His Majesty has established the Zhenfu Department to manage the inside and outside of the imperial city, Kyoto City is much better than before."
"As for the war, your Majesty, please trust King Jiang."
"King Jiang made countless military exploits throughout his military life and was deeply trusted by the late emperor."
"The war can definitely be ended as soon as possible."
Hearing Concubine De's comfort was like bathing in the breeze.
"I hope so."
"Zhenfu Si is now a tiger in the hearts of the ministers, but as long as they don't do anything that violates the iron law."
"Everything is easy to say."
"Your Majesty is also the tiger in my heart." Concubine De raised her head and said with a smile.
"Why?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"When I get older, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't like me as much as you do now."
"At that time, there will be more young and beautiful concubines who will throw themselves into His Majesty's arms."
Hearing this reason, Jiang Qiulu laughed immediately.
"how can that be possible."
"If I were that kind of person, I would have rewarded ten or eight concubines long ago."
Concubine De's pretty face turned red, causing Jiang Qiulu to get angry.
"Since you don't believe me, then I will let you see a real tiger."
Jiang Qiulu gently patted Concubine De's buttocks, then hugged Concubine De and walked to the bed.
…
Prince Yong's Mansion.
At this time, King Yong did not feel sleepy at all.
Now the entire situation in Kyoto is not good for King Yong.
The establishment of the Zhenfu Division and the counterattack of the Daxia army.
Now that Lin Qingzhi is no longer with King Yong, some things cannot go on.
Not to mention being restricted in every aspect, King Jiang almost caught him in his actions yesterday.
Thinking of this, King Yong couldn't help but feel annoyed.
With a clang, he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.
The entire Prince Yong's Mansion was as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.
"Your Majesty, please report from the palace." A guard came in to report.
"explain!"
"Your Majesty has decreed that a banquet will be held at Kunning Palace in three days."
"Celebrating the successful negotiation of Honglu Temple."
"The emperor and his ministers will celebrate together at that time." After the guard finished speaking, he handed another letter to King Yong.
King Yong grabbed the envelope, opened it and read it.
Jiang Qiulu was ready to celebrate with his king and his subjects, but King Yong couldn't celebrate.
The next moment, King Yong looked at the guard.
"Come here."
After the guard did as he was told, King Yong whispered a few words in the guard's ear.
"Remember, don't let outsiders know."
"promise!"
The guards took the order and left.
The next day, everyone in the palace was busy with the night banquet.
However, some people are happy and some are sad.
For example, King Yong, whose plans were disrupted one after another, had to hold back the anger in his heart to attend the Lao Shizi banquet.
One reason Jiang Qiulu set up this banquet was to celebrate.
The other is to give the ministers a chance.
King Yong's faction had many members, allowing them to join forces again.
At the very least, at least you can't associate with King Yong.
If these people still persist in their obsession, Jiang Qiulu will take action to deal with them.
At night, several young eunuchs were in the palace's wine cellar, inspecting the fine wines stored by the royal family.
And prepare the fine wine needed for the banquet and put it in a separate place.
After a few people finished their work, they left.
Before leaving, lock the door to the wine cellar.
After a while, a black figure appeared.
Because this person is wearing a black cloak, his true face cannot be seen.
After seeing no one around, he took out two wires and gently inserted them into the keyhole.
Soon, there was a click, the door lock suddenly opened, and it fell to the ground.
Entering the wine cellar, the man in black saw the fine wine used for the banquet at a glance.
There are three large wine jars in total.
Afterwards, the man in black took out a bottle from his arms.
Gently open the bottle and pour the liquid inside into three large wine jars.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the wine cellar door.
"I've been so busy these two days, I actually forgot my name tag here." said a young eunuch.
"Don't worry, you can't throw it away." Another young eunuch said.
Hearing someone approaching, the man in black immediately found a secret location to hide.
If discovered, it would cause a sensation.
Then, the two young eunuchs came to the door of the wine cellar.
Seeing the lock that had been opened, the little eunuch couldn't help but become confused.
"Huh? I clearly remembered to lock the door."
"Why is the door locked again?" said the little eunuch.
"Brother, your Majesty has been vigorously reorganizing the palace during this period."
"We must be careful in what we do, otherwise we will be beheaded if we offend His Majesty."
"Let's go in quickly, take away the name tag, and lock the door immediately."
Then, the two young eunuchs entered the wine cellar.
"Huh? That's weird."
"I obviously put it here." The little eunuch held up the light and searched carefully.
The man in black is behind a shelf.
There was only less than five steps away from the two young eunuchs.
"Well, isn't this here?" Another young eunuch said as he picked up the name tag on the shelf.
"Oh, look at my brain, thank you brother."
However, the little eunuch found that his companion suddenly froze.
The man in black behind the shelf felt his heart suddenly rise to his throat.
The little eunuch followed his companion's gaze and suddenly spotted a figure behind the shelf.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" the young eunuch asked him.
The man in black realized that he had been exposed and immediately kicked him down.
The two young eunuchs were startled and retreated hurriedly.
But the next moment, a cold light flashed across the carotid artery of a young eunuch.
The little eunuch slowly fell to the ground on the spot.
"It's murder! Someone come quickly!"
Another young eunuch suddenly shouted loudly and ran towards the exit.
