Chapter 382: Are You Jealous?
Jing Hao listened carefully to Liu Yiyi's playing, his mind was actually on Su Xi's side, hearing Su Xi's words, the corners of Jing Hao's mouth were raised, in the eyes of others, this was an appreciation and affirmation of Liu Yiyi, but as everyone knows, he was a reaction to what Su Xi said. ()
"Are you jealous?" Jing Hao asked.
Su Xi didn't feel ashamed: "So what? What's more, this time it's really not, but because Liu Yiyi feels pitiful, and is deceived by you." ”
Jing Hao was confident: "She and I are just using each other, each other, no one says anything too much." ”
Su Xi was too lazy to argue with him, saying that the wine in this palace was so strong, she only drank two glasses, or that kind of shallow porcelain goblet, which could be easily clamped with two fingers.
To say that this skin is poured in a cup, it is not so exaggerated.
It wasn't until he was about to lose consciousness that Su Xi finally realized that something was wrong.
"Jing Hao, there is a problem with the wine in this pot...... his eyes darkened, and he fainted.
Jing Hao's heart tightened, he didn't expect that someone would do something to him and Su Xi at the royal banquet. looked at the seventh prince, the seventh prince was raising a glass to toast like him, and the look on his face was clearly the pride and happiness after the success.
"Shen Qi. Jing Hao called Shen Qi, "Did you find anything wrong?"
Shen Qi shook his head and glanced at Shen Wu again.
This time, he and Shen Wu came to the royal banquet together, and the two of them had been very cautious to survey the surroundings to protect Jing Hao and Su Xi, lest there be any mistakes.
In the past, secret guards would be arranged around the two of them, but because it was a royal banquet, no matter what means were used, the secret guards could not enter the palace, so they would be more cautious and subtle, but they didn't expect that the wine at the banquet was poisoned.
From the time it was served to the point of citation, no one else had ever touched the flask and the cup, so how could it be poisoned?
Jing Hao got up suddenly, and Liu Yiyi's performance on stage was not yet complete. Jing Hao hugged Su Xi and said loudly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Madame is drunk and slightly unwell, so the minister will retire for the time being, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." ”
The sound of the piano on the stage stopped abruptly, and Liu Yiyi's eyes were full of complaints and displeasure when she looked at Jing Hao.
The emperor and queen were surprised, as if they didn't expect things to develop to this point.
"That'...... In that case, Wei Wuhou should leave first, after all, Madame's body is important. ”
Jing Hao hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Wait a minute, I've sent guards to escort you. "The emperor summoned the royal guards to escort Wei Wuhou's family out of the palace.
All the officials were envious, and they all whispered about it, the emperor's move shows the importance of Wei Wuhou in the emperor's heart, and he is really a favorite minister.
Only the Seventh Prince, seeing this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the emperor with a wine glass in his hand, and his expression was clear.
And the emperor never glanced at the Seventh Prince from beginning to end, but just beckoned the civil and military officials to continue drinking, and the queen was busy arranging the family members of the next performance.
After a while, the banquet became lively again, as if Wei Wuhou's matter was just a small episode, and it didn't seem to have much impact on everyone's interest.
In fact, people have different hearts, and they are suspicious of sudden changes.
Is it the first time that a drunk person has such a strange lip color? It is the first time that a person who is drunk after two glasses of wine is unconscious. Or maybe there are some other possibilities.
But no one can figure out what is going on. Because, no one could have imagined that there would be anyone who would be able to play tricks and use means in front of Wei Wuhou, not to mention, at the royal banquet, in front of the civil and military officials, under the nose of the current saint.
There are many factions, in addition to those who stand on the side of Wei Wuhou and the Seventh Prince, there are also some other people who stand on the side, and there are only a few who remain neutral.
Especially the officials who stood on Wei Wuhou's side, they couldn't help but worry in their hearts.
However, while everyone was speculating, they also had to deal with the situation in front of them, lest they say something that should not be said in front of the emperor and the seventh prince, and their hearts would be tired.
However, some began to envy Wei Wuhou, who left first, and left, but they were much more worried.
What they didn't know was that Jing Hao, who was escorted back to the house by the royal guards, seemed to be the emperor's care for him on the surface, but in fact, it was a kind of surveillance and temptation for him.
The royal guards can be imagined, they must be the best in martial arts and means among all the guards, at least any incident can be controlled, otherwise, the emperor will not put him by his side.
Until the gate of the Hou Mansion, Jing Hao took Su Xi down from the carriage, and the guards led by the royal guards were still standing in place, with no intention of leaving.
"Jiang Huwei, thank you, please thank the emperor for my kindness, and when Xi'er improves, I will go to the emperor to thank you." "The official language Jing Hao has always said that it is not leaky.
Jiang Huwei looked serious: "Marquis Wei Wuhou is the emperor's favorite minister, this is a well-known thing, the safety of you and your wife is the most important, where do your subordinates dare to have the slightest slackness and dereliction of duty." Don't worry, your words, Jiang will definitely convey them on your behalf, but the general's wife ......"
As he spoke, Jiang Junye's gaze moved from Jing Hao's face to Su Xi's body in his arms.
Fortunately, when Jing Hao got out of the car and hugged Su Xi, he let Su Xi's face be buried in his arms, and the fox fur also covered the side face, so others couldn't see Su Xi's current appearance.
"Do you want to invite the imperial doctor of the palace to show the general's wife? The emperor will definitely grant permission." Jiang Junye said.
Jing Hao looked at his eyes, the same calm face, the same stern and serious expression: "There is Lao Jiang's guard to bother, but don't worry, there is a doctor in the house." But I'm just drunk, so it's okay. It's cold outside, I'll take her back to the house, Jiang Guard, please go back, don't send it. ”
With that, turn around and leave.
Jiang Junye watched Jing Hao and his party leave, his eyes were sharp, and the corners of his mouth showed a faint sneer.
When rushing to the palace, his younger brother Jiang Junyan, who was also a royal guard, spoke: "Wei Wuhou really lives up to his reputation, his momentum and aura are very great, no wonder my brother has always wanted to compete with such a person, the most direct and fastest way to prove yourself, once you win, you will not be just a guard leader." ”
Jiang Junye suddenly stopped, looked at Jiang Junyan, and said as if warning: "Everyone has ambitions, everyone wants to be a high-ranking official, what you think in your own heart, don't force it on me, I just want to protect the emperor honestly and do my duty, that's all." If I hear you say such things again in the future, I will not spare you, but I am thinking about you, so as not to cause unnecessary death, so you can do it yourself. ”
