Jiang Qiulu was shocked when he heard that Xiaorou had taken Zhang Ying away.
But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Concubine Rong was secretly observing him, and he couldn't help but become wary.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiulu controlled his expression and did not show any strange look.
After Concubine Hua finished speaking, Jiang Qiulu immediately stood up.
"My beloved, don't be anxious. After the dinner, I will go to Liyue Palace." Jiang Qiulu said with a smile.
When Concubine Hua heard this, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Although he knew Jiang Qiulu's intention, saying it in front of the two concubines still made him feel a little embarrassed.
After Concubine Rong heard Jiang Qiulu's words, she glanced at Concubine Hua suspiciously.
Whether she was talking about this issue or not, she didn't know.
Concubine De didn't say a word, but silently peeled off the fruits one by one and put them on the plate.
"Okay, then I will wait quietly for Your Majesty."
Concubine Hua said something cooperatively, and then turned around and left.
"Sister, since you are here, don't go back so early."
Suddenly, Concubine Rong spoke to persuade Concubine Hua to stay.
Concubine Hua looked at Jiang Qiulu with her beautiful eyes, as if asking her if she wished she was here.
"In that case, then why don't you just drink a few drinks with me here." Jiang Qiulu said.
After hearing Jiang Qiulu's words, Concubine Hua nodded slightly, then stood aside and poured wine for Jiang Qiulu.
Concubine Rong's purpose of keeping Concubine Hua can be understood with a little thought.
She was afraid that Concubine Hua would secretly carry out some ulterior actions and ruin her plan.
Although Concubine Hua is in the neutral camp on the surface, has she secretly formed an alliance with Jiang Qiulu?
None of this is known.
So Concubine Rong kept it in her sight.
Inside the Yaohua Palace.
At this time, Zhang Ying's body had recovered some strength and he could stand up and walk around.
But if you want to fight, that's still far away.
"Chen Fei, do you think Concubine Hua is trustworthy?" Zhang Ying asked.
"I don't know either." Chen Fei shook his head and replied.
"Concubine Hua is from the Turkic dynasty. We don't know what she is planning."
"But don't worry, I have already sent someone to inform His Majesty about this matter."
"No matter what Concubine Hua's conspiracy is, as long as His Majesty knows about it, it will be fine." Chen Fei said.
"Wouldn't sending someone to the banquet attract the attention of King Yong and the others?" Zhang Ying asked.
Chen Fei smiled slightly.
"Of course it is reported in a special way."
…
In the back garden, a young eunuch hurriedly entered carrying a lunch box.
First, he bowed to Jiang Qiulu, and then placed the hangover soup in the lunch box in front of Jiang Qiulu.
Just as Jiang Qiulu was about to pick it up and take a sip, he subconsciously glanced at the little eunuch in front of him.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiulu almost spurted out.
This person is not a little eunuch, but he is dressed as a royal guard.
Moreover, this person, Jiang Qiulu knew, was Jin Yu, the general bannerman of Nanzhen Fusi.
The last time he explored the information about the Black Dragon Legion in Qinglong City, he reported it to him.
Jiang Qiulu only paused for a moment, and then drank the sobering soup in one gulp.
Sure enough, within the sobering soup, Jiang Qiulu felt a note in his mouth.
Then Jiang Qiulu wiped his mouth and took the opportunity to take out the note.
"Donglin, come here and have a drink with me."
"Don't just stand there minding your own business."
Jiang Qiulu waved and called Jiang Qiulu over.
"Commander Di, come here too!"
"Huh? Where is Ambassador Zhang Zhen?"
Jiang Qiulu said these words deliberately just to make Concubine Rong relax her vigilance.
"Your Majesty, Governor Zhang Zhen was drunk, and I just saw him being sent back by his servants," Concubine Rong said.
"Okay." Jiang Qiulu replied.
But in her heart, she was secretly greeting Concubine Rong's relatives.
Although Concubine Rong told the truth, it did not indicate that this servant was his personal maid Xiaorou.
Then, Jiang Qiulu picked up the wine glass, stood up and walked in front of the two of them.
"Thank you both for your hard work."
Jiang Qiulu raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
Then he started swaying around, pretending to be drunk.
Jiang Donglin and Di Yunhao immediately supported Jiang Qiulu, and Jiang Qiulu relied on them.
Viewed from the side, the three people formed a circle.
Jiang Qiulu rested his head on his shoulder, and then took the opportunity to secretly open the note just now.
The message written above was exactly the same as what the concubine had just told him.
At this time, Jiang Qiulu's worries were completely dispelled, and then he secretly stuffed the note into his mouth and swallowed it.
"Envoy Zhang Zhen is in danger." Jiang Qiulu said quickly.
Jiang Qiulu put his arms on their shoulders, looking like three drunkards bragging.
When Di Yunhao heard this, he immediately looked around cautiously.
"Three concubines, Your Majesty is drunk. I will take Your Majesty back first." Jiang Donglin said to the three concubines.
"Send it to me, I have just agreed with His Majesty." Concubine Hua suddenly said.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiulu, who was pretending to be drunk, almost spilled the beans.
"That's...ok."
Jiang Donglin had no choice.
But as long as you leave here, it doesn't matter where you go.
At this time, there was no expression on Concubine Rong's face, she was just confirming whether Jiang Qiulu was really drunk.
On the other hand, Concubine De's expression was clearly displeased.
Concubine De didn't know that Jiang Qiulu was pretending to be drunk, so she thought Concubine Hua was taking advantage of the situation.
But he didn't say anything in the end, he just watched quietly as Jiang Donglin carried Jiang Qiulu out of the back garden.
"How does my sister feel when she sees His Majesty entering the palace of other concubines?"
Concubine Rong on the side had noticed the expression on Concubine De's face.
Facing Concubine Rong's sarcasm, Concubine De should have been used to it.
But I don’t know what happened today, I just felt a burning anger in my heart.
"A Turkic barbarian, why am I afraid of what she will do?"
"Is it possible that my sister no longer has confidence in my charm?" said Concubine De.
Concubine De's tone was very gentle, and Concubine Rong knew this.
But what she said was like a bolt from the blue to Concubine Rong.
Such strong language was not coming from someone with a character like Concubine De, who was even a bit cowardly.
Then, Concubine De stood up.
"Since His Majesty has left, there is no need for us to be here."
"Sister, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Concubine De left the back garden without looking back.
At this time, Concubine Rong was still in shock.
Concubine De, who was usually oppressed by her, seemed to have suddenly changed today.
Although there was only a few words, this feeling left a deep impression on Concubine Rong.
Looking at Concubine De's leaving figure, Concubine Rong could not calm down for a long time.
"It seems that I really underestimate you."
Concubine Rong sneered, then stood up and left the back garden.
