"Marquis Anding, I haven't had time to pay my respects yet..."
Prince Jing personally came to the door to greet him, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Qian.
"Where is Mr. Xu's spiritual place?"
The subordinate who came out with Prince Jing felt angry. Even if you are the Marquis now, you cannot be so rude to His Highness.
But thinking about His Highness's instructions just now, he didn't dare to say anything.
Prince Jing sighed, "Please, Marquis Anding, come with me."
Arriving in front of Xu Laoling's throne, Li Qi'an placed a jar of high-strength wine he had brought with him and respectfully offered three sticks of incense.
"Mr. Xu, down below, you must not drink too much. No matter how good the wine is, it can kill someone!"
"Marquis Anding, Mr. Xu's death is really an accident, and I am deeply saddened!" Prince Jing said sadly from the side.
There was a hint of overtone in Li Qian's words, but he couldn't hear it.
"Whether it was an accident or not, everyone is already dead." Li Qian picked up the jar of wine and smashed it in front of Xu Laoling with a bang.
Suddenly, the strong aroma of wine filled the room.
It also scared the others.
Li Qian continued to say to Mr. Xu's spiritual tablet, "But today, you can always drink as much as you like from the jar of wine I brought. From now on, this wine will be called Zui Qingfeng!".
"Marquis Anding, even if you want to toast Mr. Xu, you don't have to do it in this way!" The subordinate next to Prince Jing couldn't help but said.
After all, he felt that Li Qi'an's behavior was not like toasting a dead person, but more like a demonstration, and he did not take Prince Jing's Palace seriously, let alone His Highness.
"How presumptuous! Do you have the right to speak here? Have you forgotten what I said before?" King Jing scolded, "Drag him down and punish him with thirty sticks!"
The subordinate's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and said nothing more, willing to be punished.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, it seems that you are very strict with the people in the palace. Will thirty sticks kill people?" Li Qian turned around and said.
Prince Jing cupped his hands and said, "It makes Marquis Anding laugh. The people in the mansion are really ignorant. Marquis Anding respects Mr. Xu. Marquis Anding and Mr. Xu are both good-tempered people. It is natural that the way of toasting is a bit temperamental."
"Then what if I say that I deliberately smashed this jar of wine in front of Prince Jing?" Li Qian said.
Prince Jing's face stiffened for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously immediately. He just sighed and said, "I know that Marquis Anding has doubts about Mr. Xu's death, but I have a clear conscience. Mr. Xu has always been my king." A person whom I respect extremely much, I have no reason to harm him.”
"Your Highness Prince Jing, I'm sorry to disturb you today. Please take my leave!" Li Qian said and left directly.
Prince Jing was a little stunned, not knowing what Li Qi'an meant.
Come as soon as you say, and leave as soon as you say.
When he was about to catch up, Li Qian had already got on the carriage and left.
He also shook his head, "Li Qian, do you believe in me or not?"
"Your Highness!"
The subordinate who had been beaten thirty times was helped up to Prince Jing.
"Even if you punish me today, I still have to say that Marquis An Ding doesn't take His Highness seriously and is not worthy of Your Highness's attention at all!"
Prince Jing glanced at the subordinate, who could be regarded as one of his close confidants, "He has never taken me seriously, but I will not be like the prince!"
