Chapter 296: The Eve of the Family Banquet (23)

In the huge pool, only one Cheng Qing was left covering his eyes.

The incessant upward steaming heat blurred his figure.

The man in black lay leisurely on the chaise longue, the only pair of eyes on his face flashing with a vague light.

He didn't expect that Cheng Qing would really fall in love with a woman.

Or should he hold a grudge against the subject's daughter.

It's just that maybe God wants to punish this affectionate man, and his first love will also come to an end today.

"Concubine Li still loves you very much. ”

There were some things he didn't want to say.

But now it seems that it may have to be said.

In such a state, how will Cheng Qing deal with tomorrow's family banquet.

That's the real battlefield, the real Hongmen feast.

"Love? It's hard for me to keep it. ”

Cheng Qing's voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded a little fragile.

This kind of Cheng Qing is really a bit fun.

The man in black struggled to suppress the evil taste in his heart.

Forget it, solving today's matter is the point, and it is not a way for him to be so depressed.

Such an opportunity will definitely come in the future.

"Cheng Qing, you kid doesn't know Concubine Li's girl at all, why are you so bold........"

"I don't know, so what do you know. ”

"She just said that she still loves you very much. ”

"Huh........?"

Cheng Qing's hand on his eyes slipped down instantly.

Falling into the water makes two splashing sounds.

"After you left, the silly girl sat there alone. ”

"I'm leaving...... Later?"

"Hmm. ”

After a "bang", Cheng Qing had already stood up.

The smoke was filling, and a somewhat thin male body floated in front of the man in black.

"Impossible..... Then why did she say such things to me...... Wait, how do you know?"

Cheng Qing finally got to the point.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the black man's exposed dark eyes.

"Don't forget, I love to wander around your palace. Didn't I make an appointment to play chess with your Highness Ju'an today? I went to look for you and found that you were not there, so I thought about where you would go, and I heard the little palace maid say that you are going to Xiangrui Palace again today........."

"So you just overheard all of my conversations with her?"

"Hey. It's not eavesdropping, I'm listening openly. It's just that you didn't notice me. ”

"Have you ever been pierced into a hornet's nest by an arrow........?

"Hey, there's something to say. I'm listening to your conversation. But look, I hear what you didn't hear!"

"She, really?"

"It's so loud that ordinary people can't hear it. But you know, with my internal strength, it's still very loud. ”

Cheng Qing tried hard to ignore the fact that the man in black was eavesdropping.

He regretted it a little.

I regret why I was in such a hurry at that time.

If he walked slowly and asked more, he would not be able to say what happened today, and it would be a different situation.

"But if I were Concubine Li, I would have a hard time forgiving you. After all, what you're doing is really not human........."

"If you don't want to be stabbed here by my guards today, you'd better say something that you can hear. ”

"Yes, yes, everything you do is for her good..... But even if you do something for others in the future, think about it for others occasionally, although you are the emperor, but if you do too much, you will be resisted. After all, you should also know the most about the affairs of your father's generation........"

"I'm afraid of losing her. Before, I had done a lot of excesses to her family and to her........."

"But that's what it does, and it's the power of the prime minister's old fox that has been weakened. Otherwise, how can you sit firmly on this throne today?"

Speaking of him..... Will this old fox come to tomorrow's feast?"

"I have always said that I was sick and did not go to the court, but according to my information, his house is very lively, and he has held a banquet........."

The eyes of the man in black were crooked, as if he knew something funny.

"Then he will be cured of this disease tomorrow. Such a big play, how can it not have the participation of the prime minister. I'd like to have a drink or two with him. ”

"Concubine De is a good worker, and she sent two invitations to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Another .......?"

"His godson, you don't know what kind of guy he is........."

"Who?"

"It's the one who moves the rivers and lakes, Yu Zheng Gongzi. ”

At this time, it was already very dark.

A grey carrier pigeon flies above the palace.

I saw it go around one palace after another, and finally stopped at the door of one of them.

Shaohua Palace.

"! ”

When the carrier pigeon arrived, Concubine De was lying on the chaise longue with her eyes closed.

"Get it. ”

As soon as she heard the carrier pigeon, she immediately sat up from the chaise longue, and a pair of hands painted with bright red Kodan stretched out towards the palace people.

"Yes. ”

The palace man handed the gray carrier pigeon to Concubine De's hand.

Concubine De grabbed the carrier pigeon, touched it soothingly, and took out a small piece of paper from a small mailbox at its feet.

"You go out and let it go. ”

Concubine De said, handing the carrier pigeon back to the palace again.

The palace people were blessed and went out with carrier pigeons.

Shaohua Palace has returned to its former tranquility.

Concubine De trembled her hands and slowly spread out the small piece of paper.

The vermilion pen and ink outlined four majestic characters on the paper.

"It's business as planned. ”

As if relieved, she got up and burned the paper on the candle.

The tiny piece of paper was quickly burned and turned into a pile of ashes.

Concubine De looked at the jumping candlelight, and the cruelty in her eyes was even stronger.

As usual, the plan can be as usual.

An extremely complicated smile appeared on her lips.

With coldness, with satisfaction, with hatred.

"Someone, send something to the main palace to the Xiangrui Palace. ”

Concubine Li held the fetal medicine that Imperial Doctor Yin had just boiled in her hand and drank it one by one.

Peach Blossom was holding a small plate of candied fruit on the side, paying attention to the change in her master's expression.

Since the emperor left, Concubine Li has always been like this.

Silent.

The small kitchen brought osmanthus balls, and she drank them in one gulp. The beauty next door brought walnut crisp, and she ate it in one bite.

At this time, Imperial Doctor Yin sent a fetal medicine, and she was still the same as just now, holding a small soup spoon and drinking it one by one.

This fetal pill is full of bitterness, and Concubine Li used to ask her for a candied fruit to eat every time she took a sip.

This time, she drank spoonful after spoonful in silence.

A bowl of fetal pills quickly bottomed out, but the plate of candied fruit in Peach Blossom's hand was not touched.

". Is it bitter?"

Peach asked cautiously.

"Bitter. ”

Concubine Li handed the empty bowl to Peach Blossom, "Bring the plate of pumpkin cake on the table." ”

Peach Blossom took the empty bowl and turned her head to look at the small plate of pumpkin cake on the table.

"Mother, it's already cold....... It's not good for your body......."

"It's okay, bring it. ”
