Chapter 418: That Night (26)
Xiao Yichen, who was in the main seat, didn't seem to pay attention to those guests at the moment, but leaned around Xiao Lingtian, not knowing what to say with laughter. It's just that, in the eyes of others, it seems that there is nothing like panic between talking and laughing.
However, it is this kind of appearance, coupled with Xiao Yichen's crooked illness, that even leaning over to speak, it seems a little difficult, and he still needs the delicate and lovely little maid on the side to support him on half of his shoulder, this situation falls into the eyes of others, then it needs to be difficult to suspect.
People always start from their own standpoint, and today's guests are just in line with the various states of life. For example, the generals in the army brought out by Xiao Yichen for many years, when they saw the sick appearance of their own commander, they naturally did not show their eyebrows. For example, those envoys have different thoughts, some are eager for the Prince Ling Xiao in front of them to die immediately, some are thinking about what to do if he dies, and more are ready to see what else will be played tonight.
Xiao Yichen, who doesn't want to guess other people's thoughts, seems to be very free and easy today, and he doesn't take his life and death too seriously. After saying a few words to Xiao Lingtian, he had already picked up the wine glass. Even though the delicate maid beside him frowned and whispered softly to stop him, he still turned a deaf ear, raised his glass and saluted everyone present.
"Everyone who came from afar, or relatives and friends, or new guests, Xiao Yichen was grateful, so he used this water and wine to express his heart. Gentlemen, drink full. Xiao Yichen held the wine glass with a smile on his face, but it seemed to be very laborious, as if even the weight of the glass was unbearable.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, at this moment, all the guests raised their glasses and said in unison: "Your Highness Xie, drink full." ”
All of a sudden, the wine was drunk freely, the blood was surging, and even the atmosphere seemed to be much more relaxed.
Xiao Cheng saw Xiao Yichen cast his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the sound of silk and bamboo restarted, and the dancers who retreated to the side also lifted their lotus steps lightly, dancing gracefully and delicately.
At this moment, among the crowd, Yu Xiaoxiang's mood is not very good, and the reason is very simple. She knew very well that the man who seemed to have recovered a lot in front of her was actually very weak. In the eyes of the little beauty, she already has to cough a few times from time to time, and there are still many external injuries on her body that are not healed, how can she drink? What makes her even more dissatisfied is that she doesn't talk about him when she drinks, but this guy actually turns a deaf ear to her own dissuasion, which is simply contempt! Therefore, the little beauty who is huffing and huffing is constantly at her side, using her big beautiful eyes to send light waves of "I'm angry" to her.
Xiao Yichen's cute expression, of course, is clear, but at the moment he deliberately pretends not to be invisible, but in his heart he feels more and more delicate and lovely, and even the wine in that Jue seems to be a little more delicious.
Xiao Yichen's purpose for coming here, on the one hand, is indeed to tell those who care about him that he is at least alive and well now. On the other hand, I want to see if those who have evil intentions will do something "interesting" tonight so that he can have fun. Of course, either way, he didn't actually have the idea of staying here for a long time. Therefore, after drinking a glass of wine and watching a song and dance, he whispered a few words to Xiao Lingtian beside him, and then stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, this king is slightly unwell, so he will not accompany the guests here." You will have a good time tonight. ”
In the crowd of guests, there was no opposition from everyone present, after all, the rumors that Xiao Yichen was half-dead now are well known to the market, and there is nothing unusual at all.
With Yu Xiaoxiang's support, Xiao Yichen, who looked tired of even walking, even smiled at him when he passed by Asahi Seisuke, but the smile of the white crown prince was not so calm.
looked at the effort to pretend to be calm, but when Xiao Yichen's starry eyes that seemed to have magic power looked at him, Asahi Seisuke pretended to be a flat expression, and entered Yu Xiaoxiang's eyes without dropping, making her do her best to hold back her smile.
Xiao Yichen, who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, and seems to be hanging up at any time, seems to really want to "say goodbye" to everyone at this moment. Whether it was the courtiers of Long Han or the envoys of the various countries, as long as they fell into the range of his starry eyes, they would always see the gentle smiles that followed, as if they were ready to imprint the last smile into their hearts.
Smiling all the way, nodding all the way, Xiao Yichen, who walked to the door of the hall tremblingly, turned around and bowed his hand to everyone again, and then in a return salute, Yu Xiaoxiang helped him disappear from everyone's sight.
"Looks kind of interesting. As soon as he turned out of the scope of the Qinglong main hall, Xiao Yichen raised his hand and touched his chin, the divine light in his starry eyes flickered, and he suddenly said something inexplicable.
"What's interesting?" the curious baby immediately leaned in, tilted his head without thinking about it, and stared at the handsome face in front of him.
Blinking his head to Yu Xiaoxiang and winking at him, Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "This king thinks you are very interesting." ”
"Woo~~" immediately pursed her lips and expressed her displeasure with a bun face, the little beauty waved her pink fist and said: "Hurry up, or you will ......"
Before Yu Xiaoxiang finished speaking, on the corridor on the other side, he saw Beichen silently holding a long sword in his hand, and hurried over with a serious expression. Before the person arrived, I heard his voice already sound: "Your Highness." ”
"Speechless, what's wrong? But what happened?" In front of Beichen speechless, Xiao Yichen didn't seem to want to pretend, so he straightened up and looked over.
After rushing to Xiao Yichen in a few steps, and after clasping his hands into fists, Beichen took a step closer without a word, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Dragon Guard Army Monitoring Center has found that there are traces of suspected large alien beasts in the underground structure layer within the Lingxiao Palace. Further confirmation is currently underway as to what kind of alien beast is invading. ”
"Heh, no wonder this king was still thinking just now, why are those guys so quiet, it turns out that this time he is not going to play a game of fighting with this king, and he began to use 'coincidence' to do things. Hehe, our Long Han is really flattened, and any cat or dog dares to reach out and pinch it. Xiao Yichen's starry eyes flickered with cold light, and he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
Yu Xiaoxiang beside her was naturally very clear when she heard Beichen's wordless words, and at this moment, the beauty whose beautiful eyes lit up with little stars was a little nervous, and a little curious and excited: "Brother Wuyan, what kind of beast is it?"
"I don't know the specific type yet, but it can move in the structural layer, and it can also penetrate under our Lingxiao Palace, at least it is a fierce beast above the 'B grade C level', and it is more likely to be a 'grade A 'A grade'. Beichen replied wordlessly with a serious expression.
