Footsteps sounded, and the Emperor continued to walk down the steps toward the darkness below.

Before his figure was about to disappear completely into the darkness, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the waiter who was already a few steps away from him, and almost his entire body was prostrate on the ground, and ordered: "Pass on my order, give the old waiter who guards the wine cellar of the dining room poisoned wine, and then whip the corpse, and then take it to feed the wild dogs in the mountains and forests!"

His face had the kind smile that he usually faced with the courtiers, but the words that came out of his mouth were cold and cruel and vicious.

Next.

What happened at the night banquet in the palace last night has spread throughout Yin'an.

There was a lot of talk in the streets.

It is said that Xiangyu Chongguan was angry and became red-faced, killed two people outside the Taihua Palace, and forcibly turned the only heir of the patriarch of the Fu clan into a one-armed cripple, making the Fu clan, the fifth largest clan in the hundred genealogy, lose face.

"Mrs. Sheng personally confirmed that the sacrificial sleeping fence is the reverse scale of the jade prince, if you meet on the road one day, remember to take a detour, don't set yourself on fire!" The storyteller in the Rongxiang Restaurant patted the wood, and Lang Lang said loudly.

There are listeners in the hall who revisit the old things, and it is rumored that the moon fence more than 600 years ago was obsessed with Fu Xue, and the flowing water did not feel the meaning of falling flowers, and the soul of Fu Xue, which has continued for more than 600 years, finally fell under the red dress of the sleeping fence this time.

So another word came out: "Yu Gongzi escaped the peerless beauty Moon Fence that was as beautiful as the fence, but he failed to escape the sleeping fence, after all, he couldn't escape the blood of the ancestors, and Xu was another bad fate." ”

Among them, there was another shocking news, the sacrificial Mian Fence personally admitted that he had a skin-to-skin relationship with the owner Xiangyu, which further confirmed the other rumors to be true.

So all the rumors spread more and more crazy.

The romance about Xiangyu is in the limelight, and some other gossip outside of this is also rising.

Some people think that Xiangyu, as the only son of the Xiang clan, the first largest clan with profound heritage, and the first noble son of Yin'an, has a noble status, but his behavior is cruel and tyrannical, knowing that he can't do it, he has lost the cultivation that the clan should have, and has shamed the Xiang clan and even the entire clan circle.

In this regard, Xiang Qian, the current patriarch of the Xiang clan, sowed chrysanthemum seeds in his small vegetable garden, and replied with a smile: "Fear of Wei Huaide, this is the way of the world, my Xiang clan has only been gracious in recent years, and the son disturbs my clan in the world with grace and power, this is the way to re-implement the long-term rule of a clan, it is the noble son of the clan who should act, why do you condemn it?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

No one dares to put their beak lightly.

In the end, those clans who had gradually lost their respect for the Xiang clan due to the curse of the world became jealous and awe-inspiring again after experiencing Xiangyu's "mighty" tactic of "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys" last night.

In a few days, there were more and more simple carriages and horses, shuttling through the market, and finally they all drove to the end of the same quaint deep alley stacked with bluestone slabs, and stopped in front of the mansion with two stone unicorns standing in front of the black tile and white wall.

This is a crowded city, with an endless stream of people coming and going.

Most of them are small clans from poor families who want to worship the Xiang clan and be included in their rich wings, and they are the most able to discern the direction of the wind.

And all these changes are moving in the direction that Xiangyu wants.

Sheng Zhuohuai, who learned of this, was silent for a long time, and finally didn't say anything.

The chess pieces he held between his fingers had not fallen for a long time.

Of course, all of the above is an afterthought.

Let's go back to another incident that happened on the second day of the feast.

It is said that Fu Hengzhi, who was cut off by Xiangyu during the night banquet, was sent back to the house by Fu Xiaorou in person that night, and Fu Yi learned about it.

Because he left the banquet early, he went out of the Taihua Palace, returned to Fufu, and saw him in the mansion, so he missed the shocking scene that happened at the night banquet.

Fuyi was remorseful and self-blaming, angry and hateful, and under the combination of emotions, he was furious and vowed to avenge Xiangyu's right arm for breaking his son's right arm.

That night, Fuyi did not sleep all night, and before the second day arrived, he took off his official uniform, took off his official hat, knelt in front of the Mingluan Palace, and asked the emperor to be the master of his son's broken arm and uphold justice in the name of his official body and the Fu clan.

The emperor immediately drafted an edict and summoned Xiangyu to the palace, but several waves of palace people came to Xiangfu to announce the decree, and they were all closed.

They were always greeted by a raccoon slave wearing an auspicious cloud-patterned white jade-colored wide-sleeved shirt, carrying a white jade sheep's horn lamp, and smiling, and the reply was always only one sentence: "Childe is still resting, please move to the front hall and wait for a while." ”

The attitude and demeanor are polite, the words are not leaky, and the hospitality is thorough, and the servants who come here really can't find any fault from it.

And Xiangyu, who was resting in the mouth of the tanuki, summoned Mian Liang into the study of his jade disturbance courtyard at this time, intending to inquire about it.

When Mian Li entered the study, Xiangyu was standing in front of the bookcase and drawing.

After Mian Liang got up to greet Xiangyu, Xiangyu didn't raise his head, his eyes still stopped on the painting, and he only asked, "Should you give me an explanation for what happened last night?"

Mian Liang looked ashamed and replied: "It's the eldest son of Fu who the slave took the initiative to provoke." ”

Xiangyu sketched on the paper, and he looked up in surprise.

"Please atone for your sins, the slave can't say why he provoked the eldest prince of Fu, because the slave promised someone to help her keep the secret. Mian Fence knelt on the ground and said in a firm tone.

Xiangyu glanced at her twice, put down the pen in his hand, and sat down on the bench behind her.

He leaned back on the bench, his eyes lazily fell on the kneeling figure of the sleeping fence, and slowly said again: "Fu Hengzhi is Fuyi's late wife and the only son he conceived, and the only candidate to inherit the position of the patriarch of the Fu clan in the future, do you know how his mother died?"

Sleep fence shook his head.

"Fuyi more than ten years ago, involved in a courtier corruption and bribery case, the case affected the emperor, Xiang factions of several clans, Fuyi was found to be suspected of corruption, a huge amount, and indirectly damaged with him belongs to the same camp of the interests of the royal family and the Sheng family, Fuyi in order to get rid of the crime, then designed to transfer all the blame to his wife, that is, Fu Hengzhi's mother, and later Fu Hengzhi's mother for helping him to take the blame, was given by His Majesty to die in the Fu Mansion with dove wine, and Fu Yi successfully escaped. ”

More than ten years ago, Fu Hengzhi was only a few years old at that time, and Fuyi was really ruthless to his wife and children.

"Fu Yi, the patriarch of the Fu clan, is a person who will repay him," Xiangyu looked at Mian Li, with a serious expression that he had never felt before, "The disaster you broke into this time is not small, don't you really think that after such a big disaster, you can still be alone, right?"

"Although I allow you to protect me, you still have to do some things within your ability, right?"

For example, tell him what happened last night that he doesn't know.

Mian Li's face was complicated, she didn't expect that Gongzi was so jealous of the Fu clan, and when she saw Gongzi act last night, she thought it wasn't so serious, could it be that she really caused a big disaster to the Xiang clan this time?
