During the banquet, in addition to drinking and enjoying singing and dancing, the Mad King listened to whatever Chu Ziyang said and was not angry. No matter how much Chu Ziyang scolded him, he happily accepted it.
After three rounds of drinking, Chu Ziyang was so drunk that his tongue was curled up. He kicked the table and shouted to see Su Ying, but the Mad King refused!
"Su Ying! You bitch, you are so cruel! Come out here!"
Chu Ziyang walked around the hall holding the wine glass, as if he was the one who was abandoned.
"Su Ying! I said you are not allowed to leave. If you dare to leave, I will break your legs! Who told you to be disobedient? You, a woman, will always contradict me!"
While he was saying these words, the Mad King was minding his own drinking. The hand he placed under the table was gently caressing the pads of his thumb and index finger. There was nothing unusual about his expression.
Compared with his master, the red ghost was more nervous. As long as the mad king gave the order, it would be difficult for him and his master to leave the palace tonight, and they would probably die here.
But the Mad King didn't move. Instead, he seemed to be watching his master's drunken madness.
"You are not allowed to marry anyone else. You belong to me, Chu Ziyang! I can promise you anything, but you only want to use me! In your heart, I am nothing!"
Perhaps Chu Ziyang was tired of shouting, so he sat down, lowered his head, and murmured something again.
The red ghost stepped forward, pulled Chu Ziyang up, and said to the mad king: "My lord has drunk too much, so I won't disturb you anymore. Take my leave!"
But the Mad King said to the red ghost: "He is drunk. You and I have something to say."
The Mad King also drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk at all. He got up and walked over.
"Liang Hualou, you grew up in the Chu family and grew up with the Marquis of Bei'an. You became his personal attendant at the age of fifteen, and you have been wearing this ugly mask ever since."
"What are you doing!"
The red ghost grabbed Chu Ziyang. People are very heavy when they are drunk, so the red ghost couldn't hold him back.
"You know the secrets of the Chu family and Chu Ziyang over the years, right?"
The Mad King walked closer and said, "Those who are servants and slaves are ultimately other people's pawns. I promise you a chance to prosper. As long as you are willing to seize it, you can get whatever you want."
"I don't want anything." The red ghost pulled Chu Ziyang to leave.
"But how did I hear that when the old city lord was dying, he called you to the bedside, turned away everyone, and said some heart-felt words to you alone. Chu Ziyang was not in Bei'an City at that time. He should have been there for so many years. Don’t you know about this?”
The Mad King stretched out his hand, but the Red Ghost knocked it away.
"You're talking nonsense, it's nothing."
But the Mad King smiled evilly: "Don't deny it in a hurry. Walls have ears. There are always people with big enough ears who will hear some shady news, and this news happened to be known to me. When I knew it, not only It’s a shock, it’s like a thunderbolt!”
The red ghost was silent. He saw the mad king's proud smile. Could it be that he really knew?
"Who did you listen to?"
"Of course I can't tell you. If you kill someone and silence me, wouldn't I break my promise?"
The Mad King said, "However, if you are willing to do a few small favors for me, I will consider keeping this secret in my belly."
"Small favor? How many?"
The red ghost knew that this was the Mad King digging a hole, "I don't want to, I won't betray my master."
"Is it possible that this secret is known by Chu Ziyang, and you don't care? What the king wants you to do is not difficult, and it will not endanger Chu Ziyang. Are you willing?"
The mad king stepped closer, and the red ghost also took a step back. He took a deep breath and said sternly to the mad king: "Don't even think about threatening me with that matter, Gu Huaijiu. Don't even think about it. I will never do it for you." On business!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
But the Mad King looked up and laughed, "You don't have to reject me so quickly. You should know how much your master weighs and how capable he is. If you don't plan for the future, you will regret it!"
The Mad King paused and then said: "Before you return to Bei'an City, you can think about it slowly. Opportunities are not always in front of you. You have to make more plans for your future!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
The red ghost put Chu Ziyang's arm on his shoulders and dragged him away.
The Mad King watched Chu Ziyang leave. When they could no longer see their backs, he immediately covered his mouth, rushed outside, squatted on the porch and vomited.
"Master, you drank too much!"
Banqu patted the Mad King on the back and asked the maid to quickly bring over the sobering soup prepared early in the morning.
"I haven't slept all night, and I have been on an empty stomach all day today. I just drank this to myself at night. Even if the princess is not at home, the master can't waste his body like this, right?"
The Mad King almost vomited his stomach. He took a sip of the hangover soup and applied a hot hand towel. Then he let out a long sigh of relief through the hand towel.
"Aren't you back yet?" asked the Mad King.
Banqu said with relief: "It should be soon!"
"There's no movement at the Qingluo Pavilion?"
Banqu responded: "No...!"
Even if there is movement, people use magic, but they mortals can't see it!
"How can that old immortal Huaniang be so calm?"
The Mad King took off his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"Oh! There is something going on with the Li family."
It turns out that the Li family has always been under the surveillance of Prince Rui's Mansion.
The Mad King stood up holding on to the pillars and responded slightly: "Yes."
Banqu helped Mad King walk to Yusheng Garden while reporting the situation.
"Today, the old lady of the Li family is gone. But she was able to see her long-lost daughter before she died, so she can rest in peace. After noon, a man fell from the sky and flew into the courtyard of the Li family. It seemed that he also had spiritual power. The Li family The daughter who had just been found was very familiar with him. His subordinates guessed that the youngest daughter of the Li family had been living abroad for more than ten years and needed someone to take care of her. Maybe this person was also from Yingzhou and belonged to the youngest daughter of the Li family. Old friend."
"What an old friend! Any old friend will be saved! Even my biological father doesn't want to be saved!"
The Mad King kicked the pebbles that stung his feet and became inexplicably irritable again.
"The Li family is all happy, and the princess' affairs should be finished. I feel that the princess will be back soon."
Banqu had no choice but to assume the best outcome for the Mad King.
"If it's somewhere else, let's just leave it at that. I don't need to worry so much!"
The Mad King sighed and said to Ban Qu, "Tell Feng Jian that from now on the princess must inform me of anyone she meets in the mansion! Such a thing must not happen again."
"Yes." Banqu was also worried about Butler Feng, thinking that his master would blame him.
Fortunately it was Li Sinian this time, anyone else wouldn't have been able to enter the palace.
The Mad King couldn't sleep, his brain was confused after drinking too much, and he didn't want to talk anymore, so he went back to Yusheng Garden, lay down outside the soft couch, put another pillow upright, hugged the pillow, and still couldn't feel at ease.
