Yu Li was obviously nervous and said to Xia Yan, "Your Highness, what are you talking about...I just didn't know you were back...otherwise..."
Before Yu Li could finish speaking, Xia Yan said to Yu Li, "Concubine Li, what's wrong with you? Seeing me so nervous...are you afraid of something?"
Yu Li looked embarrassed and said, "No... no... Your Highness, I'm just feeling a little unwell..."
"I also want to chat with Concubine Li alone..." Xia Yan said with a half-smile.
"Let's wait another day." Yu Li forced a smile.
However, Xia Yan had no intention of getting out of the way and said, "Concubine Li, I won't take up your time for too long! Are you afraid of something? Or do you know something?"
At this moment, Lu Qian stepped forward and said, "Concubine Li, you are here... The Queen Mother is looking for you... Come with me quickly."
After saying that, he took Concubine Li away.
Xia Yan grabbed Lu Qian and said, "You must be Lu Qian..."
Lu Qian was a little surprised to see Xia Yan recognize him and said, "Your Highness, I didn't expect that you also know Xiao Xiao... Xiao Xiao is really honored..."
Xia Yan looked at Lu Qian's look, smiled lightly and said, "I've heard a lot about you. We can chat if we have the chance."
Lu Qian smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, Your Highness. Then I will take Concubine Li to work..."
Xia Yan smiled faintly and glanced at Lu Qian meaningfully without saying anything.
Lu Qian walked to Concubine Li's side and saw that Concubine Li's hands were still trembling.
He supported her and whispered, "Yu Li, aren't you ready to tell me now? What are you afraid of?"
Yu Li glanced at Lu Qian and then said, "Lu Qian, I won't tell you for your own good..."
Lu Qian was a little helpless.
I had to put him aside. This was not the place to talk.
At this moment, Lu Qian noticed a commotion.
Then he looked along the commotion and saw that all the twelve princes were here.
Even the Prince of England and the Prince of Germany came.
Aren't they under house arrest?
Xia Yan walked up to them with a fake smile on his face and greeted them.
Obviously it was Xia Yan who persuaded Xia Jiuyuan to release the two princes.
It was obviously also to win them over.
It can also be seen how much Xia Jiuyuan cares about Xia Yan, his son.
You know, Xia Jiuyuan hated these princes the most before.
The Prince of England and the Prince of Germany came in swaggeringly.
When they came to Huo Xiaolin and the others, they said to Huo Xiaolin very arrogantly, "Huo Xiaolin, it's not that easy for you to defeat us... As the saying goes, it's your turn to be unlucky!"
With that said, under the leadership of Xia Yan, he sat down aside.
...
As time passed, everyone arrived one after another.
Xia Jiuyuan also supported Empress Dowager Dou to appear.
Everyone present stood up and knelt down to worship.
"I wish Queen Mother Dou great blessings and longevity!"
Empress Dowager Dou smiled slightly and said, "All my beloved ministers and envoys, please stand up."
Wait until they are seated.
Xia Jiuyuan spoke some polite mandarin.
Afterwards, the birthday banquet was announced to begin.
The show also started.
Lu Qian's rehearsed dance quickly attracted everyone's attention.
It attracted a lot of applause.
Just when everyone was changing cups, Yun Qingquan and Zhou Linkai from the Great Zhou Kingdom came forward with wine to toast their birthdays.
Obviously this is a code word.
After they went up, envoys from various small countries also came forward one after another.
Those assassins were also mixed in.
Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because he had determined the appearance of the assassins.
So he can see.
When the assassin stepped forward, they were communicating with each other with their eyes!
Seeing Xia Jiuyuan unpreparedly exchanging cups with the envoys, he was unprepared.
Even the nearest forbidden army was two meters away.
By the time they react, Xia Jiuyuan may have already died!
It seems that Xia Jiuyuan is going to die tonight!
Seeing this, Lu Qian subconsciously walked to Yu Li's side so that he could protect him later in the chaos!
Lu Qian stared at them closely.
However, the next scene disappointed Lu Qian!
When the envoys from various countries exchanged cups for toasts, those assassins! He didn't even take action.
Dozens of assassins obviously had great opportunities, but after drinking, no one took action.
Back to my place again!
Lu Qian was confused. What on earth is going on?
The best emperor master
