The rising moonlight penetrated the window lattice and drew a black and white grid on the empty floor.
A man dressed as a scribe in a long gown sat quietly on the ground. There were teapots and cups on the table in front of him. Someone was pouring tea out, and the aroma rose with the light smoke.
"It's time for the Qinghong Banquet to begin." The man looked out the window and said lightly.
"The prime minister suddenly complained of illness and refused to attend. Will it arouse His Majesty's suspicion?" The person opposite looked to be about the same age as him, and he was also a thin middle-aged man. He was dressed in black and seemed to be hidden in the darkness.
"At first I thought something big would happen, but I didn't expect that the palace would resolve it so quickly. Now that the queen has been arrested and the concubine is dead, the storm should have been resolved." The man said slowly: "Nothing happened, and your majesty doubted me again. what?"
The man is naturally Su Qian, the prime minister of the dynasty.
The person opposite him was his top thug, Gu Shanfeng, the leader of the Lingfeng Sect among the Eight Sects and Eight Sects.
The Lingfeng Sect is not well-known among the Eight Sects and Eight Sects because there are no active outstanding disciples. But in terms of the leader's strength alone, Gu Shanfeng is undoubtedly the number one, a real seventh level powerhouse.
When he made a mistake and was hunted by the Taiyin Sect, it was Su Qian who intervened to save his life, and he has followed him since then.
"That slap from me, Miss Shen, was in vain." Gu Shanfeng smiled, "It's an unreasonable disaster."
"It may not be a good thing." Su Qian said: "At first, I wanted her to enter the palace because His Majesty has already decided on the second prince in his heart. Who knows, in recent days, His Majesty has wavered again."
"Especially now that Empress Wu's incident has happened, the second prince should have no hope." Gu Shanfeng continued.
Su Qian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not consider these things. When it comes to establishing a prince, he may consider more the talents of the two princes. At first, the second prince had a gentle temperament and fair talent, but he also had the demeanor of a conservative king. Your Majesty has not considered otherwise. However, in recent years, evil spirits have appeared frequently and bad omens have appeared one after another. It is foreseeable that there will be greater storms in the future. At this time, a shrewd and capable pioneer is needed. In comparison, although the Thirteenth Prince is young, But he is more ambitious and skillful. This is the root of His Majesty's wavering. How can the king of a country be limited to the palace? What he thinks about is the entire world."
He deduced out of thin air and guessed the emperor's thoughts, as if he was immersed in the situation.
"The prime minister has far-reaching plans, and his subordinates are really inferior." Gu Shanfeng complimented him in a timely manner.
Before he finished speaking, a black swallow landed outside the window. He tapped the window lattice a few times with his beak, and the window opened. The swallow flew in, and in a flash of light it turned into a letter written in black and white.
After Su Qian finished reading, he raised his head and spoke again.
"Brother Gu is not in his position. In our position, it is necessary to speculate on the holy will." Su Qian said: "The Prison Suppressing King has also taken action. It seems that he has also received the news tonight."
"Hey." Gu Shanfeng exclaimed, "This great god has already taken action, so there will definitely be no changes in the Qinghong Banquet tonight."
"The Prison King has not been in the palace for a long time. Everyone speculates that he has separated from the royal family. His move should also prove to everyone that he is still facing the Xia family." Su Qian speculated again.
"Then according to what the Prime Minister said, when the situation stabilizes, we will switch to the Thirteenth Prince?" Gu Shanfeng asked.
Su Qian shook his head again and said: "The Thirteenth Prince is still young and his virtues are still shallow. However, he has a heavy burden and can easily be blinded by his sharpness, which may not last long."
"Then he is still the second prince?" Gu Shanfeng asked again.
"Second Prince..." Unexpectedly, Su Qian hesitated again, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
…
The great god who suppressed the prison king sat down, his seat was not far under the dragon chair, his status was evident. And above the high level, it is natural to enjoy Qinghong.
The emperor couldn't help but feel lucky that he had killed one more in advance. Otherwise, it would be too late to make another one now.
It can be said that as an emperor, it is almost impossible to kill a Qinghong if he is greedy. From the harem to the civil and military officials, they all disagreed and felt that this was a violation of rules. But as the prison king, most likely no one would object if he said he wanted to beg for a green crocodile to eat.
This prince who was ostracized in his early years has been tortured to death by his elders or peers. Now the only ones left are the younger ones who grew up hearing about his reputation. No one dares to disrespect him.
Of course, the Prison Suppressing King was not a greedy person. He didn't care about Qinghong. After sitting down, he asked again: "I heard that something happened when I entered the palace?"
"Alas..." The emperor sighed, and then told what happened today.
After hearing this, the Prison Suppressing King frowned and said: "These Yinghuo demons are really good at planning, and they actually planned to enter the palace so many years in advance! They really deserve to be killed!"
They were talking quietly at first, but the outburst suddenly sounded like a loud bell, and the last shout could be heard even outside the main hall. The banquet had just started, but when they heard that he was angry, everyone stopped using their chopsticks.
"Eat what you have!" the Prison Suppressing King said again.
Everyone immediately buried their heads, picking at the dishes in front of them regardless of whether there was anything in them.
"Fortunately, they have all been exposed. In the future, the imperial city will be more vigilant and will never allow monsters to sneak in," the emperor said.
"I told you that Ming Ming was not good enough at the beginning. The palace is in such chaos. I wonder what he is protecting? It's just useless." The Prison Suppressing King said again.
The emperor smiled and said nothing.
Both are elders and both are in the eighth realm. What can he say?
But he didn't speak, but someone said, and he heard a shout from beside him: "Fuck your mother!"
This scolding made both the emperor and the prison king startled.
This is the Jinluan Palace. How long has it been since anyone scolded me here? The Prison Suppressing King was even more surprised. He had not encountered anyone who dared to scold him in person for at least a hundred years.
Looking around, he saw a beautiful and domineering woman with her hands on her hips, looking at him with an arrogant expression.
"Ha." The prison king saw that this person had the divine fire destiny and knew that he was a descendant of the royal family. He was not angry but smiled: "Are you scolding me?"
"The one I'm scolding is you." Emperor Feng didn't show any fear.
"Second Aunt...Prison King..." The emperor waved his hands aside and said in a lowered voice: "We are all one family, don't harm the harmony."
This time, Emperor Daughter Feng and the Prison King said in unison, "Who is with your family?"
After saying that, everyone understood that those who dare to love are rebellious members of the royal family.
The prison king asked: "Are you related to Mingde?"
"He is my biological father." Emperor Feng raised her head and said.
"Ha." The Prison Suppressing King sneered: "He doesn't even dare to talk to me like that here."
"But it's me who's here!" Emperor Feng didn't lose the slightest bit, "I can scold him, but it's not your turn!"
"I just scolded you, how are you going to treat me?" the Prison Suppressor King choked repeatedly, without caring about his identity at all.
"You'd better sleep with your eyes open every day, lest your house be burned down by a fire one day!" Emperor Feng had already lost her temper and began to roll up her arms and sleeves.
The emperor was between the two of them, and he could only feel his eyebrows twitching and twitching.
What a sin.
What kind of unlucky day is today? The two wives I love most are gone, and the beautiful Qinghong Banquet is met with gangsters and scoldings.
It doesn’t matter that this emperor is inappropriate.
Just at this time, a gong sounded from behind, and a huge, steaming Qinghong was carried up in a box, "Your Majesty, the Qinghong is out of the pot!"
"That's great, Second Aunt and the Prison King, let's not quarrel on this rare day of reunion." The emperor tried to persuade and said: "Let's eat together! Qing! Hong!"
boom!
In response to him, the Prison Suppressing King slapped the table and said, "I think you are a junior. If I lose my dignity by fighting with you, don't push yourself too far!"
"Ha." Emperor Feng sneered back, "Then let's compete on something else, do you dare?"
"What are you talking about!" said the Prison Suppressing King: "I don't dare to be my grandson!"
"Your grandson is higher than her..." the emperor whispered there.
"Bring the wine!" Emperor Feng put one foot on the chair and shouted loudly: "If you can beat me in drinking today, I will sincerely call you brother. If you lose, you will recognize me as your aunt."
"What's the point of all this?" The emperor looked at his daughter Feng again.
"Lost?" The Prison King laughed loudly: "I haven't been drunk in two hundred years, but it's been a long time since anyone dared to challenge me."
"Is this a promise?!" The emperor looked at him in shock.
"Today I will let you know what will happen if you insult anyone casually!" Emperor Feng had already picked up a jar of wine and started sucking it.
"You usually scold others, don't you?" The emperor looked at her with a dark look on his face.
"Say this after you win!" The Prison King also picked up a jar of wine and opened his mouth to suck out a water dragon.
"We won't take advantage even if we win!" The emperor was almost desperate.
Rolex asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Do you think I know it?" The emperor looked helpless. The two monsters were already competing in front of everyone. The officials below were watching with great interest. He sighed and said: "That's all, just treat it as a show, and then we'll continue." Play the music! Then serve the food!"
…
Chu Liang is used to this. Emperor Feng never engages in double standards. She not only bullies those who are weaker than herself, but is equally aggressive when meeting those who are stronger than herself. Except for Elder Si Lu, I really didn’t see her being soft on anyone inside or outside Shushan.
A timid person will draw his blade at the weaker one, and a brave person will draw his blade at the stronger person... Master is neither of them, she will kill everyone she sees.
This is not the first time she has done this kind of thing, first bringing others to the same level of intelligence and quality as her, and then relying on her rich experience to fight.
Just after the Qinghong Pork was unveiled, the plates had been taken back from the kitchen, and the maid placed the plates of Qinghong Pork on several people's tables.
It is indeed the best delicacy in the world, and the aroma seems to bring a temptation to the soul.
Just when Chu Liang picked up the chopsticks and was about to try something new, he suddenly heard a small voice saying: "Give me a bite too!"
