"Mrs. Duan arrived—

"The third princess has arrived, the fifth princess has arrived, and the seventh princess has arrived—"

"The fourth son has arrived, the seventh son has arrived!"

The eunuch's shrill voice was like a blunt knife cutting the eardrums of the morning and evening, she subconsciously touched the chilling cicada in her sleeve, but the picture that was already a little blurry suddenly appeared in her mind, the towering city tower, the bleak winter night, the brilliant lights of the Baling Palace, were getting farther and farther away from them, the heavy palace door was ruthlessly closed in front of her eyes, and under the dark and dreary sky, two slender and immature figures staggered into the boundless night, as small as two ants that could be trampled to death at any time......

The knuckles of the fingers holding the knife were white, and if it weren't for the big hand that covered the outermost part, it would almost be hidden day and night.

Shang Jue took her into his arms, his big hand tightly clasped her waist, and as soon as he lowered his head, the hot breath was in the tender place behind her ear, "It's just a lady and a few princesses, you can't hold your breath like this?"

Chaoxi breathed lightly, and instantly came back to her senses, Shang Jue chuckled in her ear, and hugged her whole person in his arms, "Good, don't forget that you are now the future lady of Lonely, and the Qiē of Shu has nothing to do with you for the time being." ”

Everyone present knew Chaoxi's identity, and many people showed interest in their eyes, as if they were waiting to see a good show, and when they turned their heads to search for Chaoxi's figure, they found that Chaoxi was snuggling in Shang Jue's arms and whispering intimately, and it seemed that they were not affected by these newcomers at all, could it be that this princess of Shu really didn't care at all?!

When everyone was puzzled, six new guests came into everyone's field of vision one after another.

The woman who walked in front was dressed in a purple palace skirt, graceful and extraordinary, her every move exuded a mature charm, a smile and a smile were all with a charming and intimidating noble, the most eye-catching thing was the pair of affectionate Danfeng eyes and the vermilion tear mole under the left corner of the eye, who would be hooked for no reason, this woman was not more than thirty years old, her face was just superior, but it was the noble style that made people's hearts break down, and when she saw the person, she almost didn't need Luo Shunhua to introduce everyone to know her identity, the princesses could not have such a style at a young age, and this person could only be Mrs. Duan who favored the harem of the Shu Kingdom！

"Madame, please ...... here"

Luo Shunhua welcomed a few people in from the gate of the mansion, and the respectful attitude seemed to be worse than the guests of the other princes and royal families, which was really shocking, and it was rumored that the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and the Shu royal family were not harmonious, and it seemed that the rumors were not true.

Mrs. Duan's full name is Duan Lingyan, and she is from the same family as the current Queen Duan of Shu Kingdom, and now the Shu King Palace is controlled by Queen Duan and Mrs. Duan together, there is almost no room for others to stretch out their hands, Duan Lingyan slowly approached, even if there were many distinguished guests in front of her, she looked at her with two arrogant eyes, and took two steps forward, she suddenly paused.

Duan Lingyan raised his gaze and suddenly looked in one direction.

Under the eaves of the intersection in the distance, two figures, one red and one white, were snuggled together as if no one was around, Duan Lingyan only glanced at it, and then entered the courtyard gate of Qiushui Garden with a thin smile on his face, followed by three luxuriously dressed young women, the three of them have beautiful looks and demeanor, but they are different, the first person is arrogant and noble, the second person is lively and intelligent, and the third person walks at the end, most of them have never seen anything in the world, and their expressions are slightly nervous and cowering at this moment, not as eye-catching as the two in front of them.

The three of them followed by two men, the one who walked in front was dressed in a yellow brocade robe, his steps were calm and arrogant, and the person who walked behind was dressed in a brown daku, his steps were relaxed and smiling, the two appeared one after the other, Luo Shunhua greeted the newcomers and had to greet the others, and he was busy sweating on his forehead, and it took a while to invite most of the people into the house.

Seeing that everyone had entered Qiushui Garden one after another, Wei Shi on the side couldn't help but look at Chaoxi and Shang Jue, "Your Highness, it's time for us to go in." ”

Shang Jue threw his arms around the day and night, and soothed her waist tightly.

Chaoxi didn't like to show weakness to people, but at that time, he showed his flaws because he couldn't restrain himself, and now his natural back has been colorless, Shang Jue looked at her and smiled slightly, and took her towards Qiushui Garden.

"Your Highness, please come in quickly, I'm waiting for you......"

As soon as he walked to the door of the main hall of Qiushui Garden, Luo Shunhua greeted him, his movement was very big, and in an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall saw it, seeing Shang Jue, he could naturally see the morning and evening in the crook of Shang Jue's arm, and the ribbon was on his eyes, and he obviously felt a few unkind glances, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and she leaned into Shang Jue's arms more and more calmly.

"Your Highness, please ...... here"

Luo Shunhua led the way, because there was a new guest today, other people's seats had changed somewhat, but Shang Jue's seat remained unchanged, Shang Jue walked slowly to the upper left, and sat down after helping the day and night.

Almost all eyes in the room fell on them, most of them to watch a good show.

Shang Jue grabbed Chaoxi's hand under the table, his expression calm.

As soon as he raised his eyes, Duan Lingyan was sitting opposite him......

Duan Lingyan's very seductive gaze swirled over Shang Jue, even if Luo Shunhua said a high-sounding welcome on the main seat, she didn't pay attention, Shang Jue noticed Duan Lingyan's gaze, and looked at her without evasion, and when Duan Lingyan saw the unfathomable calm brows in Shang Jue's eyes, he turned his gaze slightly.

"Hou Ye, the sword test conference of the Hou Mansion of Huaiyin is held every three years, and this year it is rumored that there will be a famous weapon in the world, this lady came by the king's order, in addition to the sword test conference of the Hou Ye, by the way, it is also for the king to reward the famous weapon. Duan Lingyan's voice was clear and good, but there was a kind of deterrence of the superiors, and after a slight pause, she said, "Although Huaiyin is in Shu, it is far away from Baling Road, and the king of Shu has not been able to treat them one by one, and the king blames himself very much. ”

Many of the people present came from the royal family or represented the royal family, except for the sword test conference, even if it was the king of Shu's succession wedding, it was really very helpless for the king of Shu, but the state government could not ignore it, so he prepared gifts to seek people's hearts, as soon as the words fell, Duan Lingyan clapped his hands, and dozens of maids in pink clothes suddenly poured into the door!

Each of these maidservants held several gift boxes in their hands, and put one down at each place, although they were giving gifts, but this kind of gift was the first time everyone present had seen it, and they couldn't help crying and laughing, and finally arrived at Shang Jue and Luo Shunhua, a red brocade box was placed in front of Shang Jue, and Shang Jue didn't even move his eyes.

Duan Lingyan saw it clearly on the other side, and couldn't help but smile, "Won't the prince open it and take a look?"

The identity was not introduced, but Duan Lingyan knew who Shang Jue was, Shang Jue was not surprised, glanced at Duan Lingyan, and said in a calm tone, "Madame's gift, Gu has already received it an hour ago, compared to it, that gift is much heavier." ”

Duan Lingyan's eyes flashed, and when she saw that Shang Jue's bandaged hand was finally calm, she settled down, suddenly looked at Shang Jue's side, smiled lightly, and said in a faint voice, "This gift, maybe someone will like it." ”

Shang Jue raised his brows slightly, and raised his chin against the gift box.

Yun Zhe behind him saw it, and immediately stepped forward to open the gift box-

The moment the lid of the box was lifted, Shang Jue's gaze suddenly froze, his hand holding Chaoxi suddenly tightened, and even his breathing was lighter, Yun Zhe saw the contents of the box behind him, and his expression sank, the changes between the two of them could be felt even if they couldn't see the day, she frowned slightly, and asked, "What gift?"

Shang Jue clenched her hand painfully, but he didn't answer, he raised his eyes sharply to look at Duan Lingyan, and his voice suddenly sank, "This is your gift? Being favored by the King of Shu does not mean that you can do whatever you want in front of Lonely, is this what you mean? Is it the meaning of the King of Shu? or the meaning of your Queen Duan?!"

Shang Jue's question was so sudden that in an instant, even the temperature in the room dropped a few points, and the staggering around him suddenly stopped, Luo Shunhua looked at Shang Jue and Duan Lingyan sweating profusely, he never thought that something would happen in such a short time! He stretched his neck and looked inside the brocade box, he really didn't know what Duan Lingyan had sent to make Shang Jue so angry!

Duan Lingyan just shook his head and smiled, "I really don't know where His Highness's anger comes from, the eldest prince has disappeared for eight years, don't say that he is his own sister, but those of us who are onlookers feel unbearable, after so many years, how can he still let the eldest prince be a lonely ghost who is wandering outside, and now he has entered the ancestral hall of the Shu royal family, and he is ...... in the end."

"What did you say?!"

Duan Lingyan's words were not finished, Chaoxi suddenly interrupted her sharply, Chaoxi trembled, although most of the eyes and expressions were covered, but anyone could feel the anger on her, after asking this, Duan Lingyan's face still did not change, she looked at Chaoxi, and said in a fixed voice, "The King of Shu already knows that you left from Zhao State to Yan Kingdom, and also knows that you and the prince went to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion together, and what is in this brocade box is the obituary of the edict that the eldest prince is enshrined in the ancestral hall, as well as the posthumous ......."

Only the dead will be enshrined in the royal ancestral hall, the obituary is announced to the world, and then posthumously sealed to show honor, if someone really dies, it is understandable to do so, but many people present know that the morning and dusk are just missing, and the missing son may come back, but a son who was sent to the ancestral hall has no chance to come back, of course, there is no chance to fight for rights!

Chaoxi's identity is well known, everyone knows that she is not tolerated by the royal family, but I didn't expect that now there is Shang Jue in the Shu royal family still doing this, this so-called gift is not a reward for her grievances for so many years, but it turned out to be a spiritual obituary, everyone thought that Chaoxi would be angry and out of control, but unexpectedly, Chaoxi just smiled.

"What do you think...... My brother is dead?"

Her words were extremely cold, and because of the thin smile, she inexplicably gave people an eerie feeling.

Duan Lingyan frowned before she could speak, and the woman sitting on the table behind her actually spoke first, "I haven't heard from him for eight years, why isn't he dead?" Even if he is relegated as a lowly slave, he should obey the king's order, but Feng Chaodui dared to escape from the place of exile, it is good that he died, otherwise, he is still a sinner, you should be glad that he died early." ”

The cold voice with a sense of superiority, the words spoken are even more vicious and merciless, dressed in green clothes, a cold and arrogant face, a pair of eyes full of disdain, day and night instantly guessed who the person is, she sneered, suddenly raised her hand, no one thought that she would suddenly make a move, only to see the brocade box on the table suddenly flew up, smashed towards the speaker at lightning speed, everyone had not yet reacted to a miserable scream, the brocade box smashed heavily on the face of the speaker, the slender figure was smashed directly backwards and fell, this change came suddenly, the room was suddenly chaotic, day and night closed his hand, and said in a melodious voice"We can't afford to take this gift, obituary, you better keep it for yourself......"

"You are presumptuous! You dare to ......"

I don't know who is annoyed on the other side and scolds him, there is only a heart-rending cry left, and a few maids hurriedly ask people to help them up, and at a glance, the face is bruised and still bleeding, and it will not get better for half a month, and it will be ruined!

Duan Lingyan looked at Shang Jue with a frown, "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid this is not good." ”

Shang Jue's face did not change, he grabbed the hand that was placed under the table every day, and said gently, "Does your hand hurt?"
