Chapter 198: The Banquet Shocks
The warm sunlight shining on people should have made people's hearts warm, but at this moment, walking in the inner garden of the palace, the cyan figure felt endless loneliness, looking up at the sky, and loneliness was written on his face.
"Xinyu, sorry, how are you doing now?"
Unconsciously, stepping into the back garden, in a clearing, several princes and princesses who should be young are playing, happy with each other, maybe only when they are children, can they maintain that innocent feeling!
Inside the pavilion, there were a few beautiful women sitting chatting, thinking that it was the imperial concubine, Nie Ying looked at it in a daze for a long time, thinking in his heart, if Xinyu was a man's family, then the harem of the Yuntian Dynasty should also be like this, and then smiled faintly, maybe it won't be long before this scene will disappear with Li Qingchu's success.
After coming to the Aotian Dynasty for so long, Nie Ying has never really wanted to help Li Qingchu, or to help Li Yaoyang behind her, because he knows that once he goes deep into it, he will not be able to do what he wants, and that is not the purpose of his coming here. Therefore, Li Yaocheng's invitation, he never refused, firstly, because he did not want to participate in it, and secondly, with the help of the two forces, it was easier for him to enter the palace and obtain what he wanted.
It's just that I didn't expect that the free trip to the palace would be so unbelievable, and it would come so without scruples. But the cause and effect of it was to force Nie Ying into the conspiracy of power, and it seemed that the old emperor saw something and made Nie Ying voluntarily jump into this deep pit.
He smiled bitterly, retracted his gaze, and wanted to turn away. Unexpectedly, at this time, a palace maid came quickly and shouted at Nie Ying: "The guy from there, his eyes are so presumptuous?"
Nie Ying was stunned suddenly, but she just glanced at it a few times, this is also called presumptuousness? The palace maid was just doing her duty, and Nie Ying didn't care, and walked back slowly.
However, the palace maid didn't want to let him go, walked a few steps quickly, stopped Nie Ying, and said with an angry face: "Little thief, trespassing into the back garden is a capital crime, do you want to leave?" After speaking, she immediately shouted loudly, "Come on, catch the thief!"
Looking at the palace maid's actions, Nie Ying smiled dumbly: "Thief, it's a very interesting name." He came to the palace to look for something, it seemed that he was really a thief, his eyes swept over the small pavilion, and the concubines looked here, not stopping the palace maid's move, but with great interest. Maybe it's because life in the deep palace is usually more boring, in addition to fighting with each other, something like this happened by chance, adding a piece of material to their after-dinner story.
"Hehe, I'm not a little thief, so the girl doesn't have to shout, so as not to get herself into trouble. This sentence didn't scare the palace maid, but it just wouldn't make the palace maid believe it.
The shrill screams continued, and the boredom in his mood made Nie Ying urgently need to find something to ease the emotions in his heart, looking at the palace maid, it seemed that this was a good time. At that moment, I turned around and looked at a few children who were still playing undisturbed.
Seeing that the young man was not afraid, and with an expression that was still what you were doing, a disturbing thought suddenly rose in the palace maid's heart, and she unconsciously looked back at several masters in the pavilion, and the excitement and encouragement on the faces of the latter made the palace maid feel stable and arrogant.
After a while, the crack soldiers arrived, and the first one asked, "Where is the thief?"
The palace maid pointed at Nie Ying, "It's him, not only trespassing into the back garden, but also very rude to several ladies in his eyes." After saying that, he looked at the young man's back proudly.
"Are you sure it's him?" said one of them coldly. The familiar voice made Nie Ying sigh secretly, "I don't have to play now." ”
"Very good, come on, take down this palace maid!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave is Ting'er, why do you want to arrest the slave and maid?" The nervous voice seemed to reveal some of the truth.
"Take it away!"
"Forget it, let her go, she can be regarded as responsible, a little palace maid, the reason why she can do this is not because of the acquiescence of those so-called masters. Nie Ying said lightly, and his body never turned around.
It's not loud, but it's just enough for everyone to hear clearly. Hearing this, the faces of several ladies in the pavilion changed greatly, but they did not get angry because of this, with Li Qingchu's status in the imperial dynasty, they had to defend this person, with their identity and knowledge, the occurrence of this scene was enough for them to understand that this young man in Tsing Yi was not simple and could not move.
Li Qingchu waved his hand, and the soldier let go of the palace maid, who immediately ran to the pavilion, not daring to look at Nie Ying again.
"Nie Ying, can you walk around with me?"
Nie Ying didn't refuse, a farce made him sober a lot, so he should also plan for the next thing. Turning around slowly, he nodded, and walked out first.
"Is he Nie Ying?" After the two left, the soldiers behind them couldn't stop exclaiming.
"Are you still blaming me?" Li Qingchu said softly, then smiled bitterly, and said: "You shouldn't have said that sentence to those girls, but to me, right? ”
Nie Ying smiled faintly: "With one sentence, judge whether I am still angry." Hehe, Li Qingchu, you are so smart, and you act unscrupulously and ruthlessly and resolutely, I really don't know if this is a good thing for you. ”
Li Qingchu walked a few steps briskly, followed Nie Ying, and said after a moment of silence: "I don't quite understand what you said. All I know is that I grew up in the palace. You also saw it just now, several younger siblings are having such a good time, but their mother makes the pavilion intrigued, and on the surface it is kind, but in fact, she wishes that the other party would die sooner. The Queen Mother left us prematurely, and since then I have known that if I don't fight, then I will lose everything, even my life. ”
"It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, you have to prepare yourself anyway, and the next days will be extremely difficult. But I believe that these are not unacceptable things for you, Li Qingchu, tell me that what happened is unacceptable to you. "If Nie Ying's guess is correct, at the evening feast, the old emperor will announce the new crown prince, so it's a good thing to let her make some preparations early. Since he decided to help her, Nie Ying didn't dare to slack off.
Li Qingchu suddenly quickened his pace, stopped in front of Nie Ying, looked straight at him, and said in a very steady tone: "If I say that the most unacceptable thing for me is that you are still angry with me, and you will never pay attention to me from now on, will you believe it." ”
"Believe, of course. Nie Ying said, "So what about other than that?"
This answer made Li Qingchu very happy, and after a little contemplation, he said: "There is also the prince's brother, he was born to the same mother as me, and he grew up with support, so he must not have an accident." ”
Nie Ying suddenly smiled evilly: "Since it's him, then you have to die." ”
"What?" Li Qingchu couldn't react for a while, but when it became clear, looking at Nie Ying's face, a chilling murderous intent suddenly appeared, which let her know that what Nie Ying said was not a joke.
"Why are you doing that?"
Nie Ying snorted coldly: "Maybe I don't need so much, but it depends on whether Li Yaoyang knows how to back down, otherwise he will have to die." ”
"Nie Ying, tell me, what happened? If the eldest brother offends you, I will apologize to you on his behalf, if not, you can kill me. The beautiful woman in front of her burst into tears, and her pitiful expression couldn't help but comfort her in her arms.
Nie Ying took a deep breath, took a step back slightly, and was extremely helpless in his heart, he originally hated these things the most, but for some reason, he would actually do this kind of thing in person.
Shaking his head, Nie Ying couldn't bear to face Li Qingchu and quickly floated into the distance. "I promise you, as long as you don't want him to die, I will never kill Li Yaoyang. ”
Looking at the back of the leaving, Li Qingchu wiped away his tears, and suddenly a smile hung on his delicate face.
"I wanted to relax a little, but I didn't expect to make myself even more depressed. A figure slowly walked out of the grove, and now the sky had darkened, and he looked for a direction and strode towards the banquet palace.
"Nie Ying, you're finally here, your father is waiting for you. At this moment, Li Qingchu's heart is very good, with her usual intelligence and mind, she actually didn't notice the difference between Nie Ying now.
When the old emperor saw Nie Ying coming in, he pointed to the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Nie Ying, do it!" The old emperor was next to some imperial concubines, and several of them were in the back garden.
After experiencing the harem, it is not surprising that everyone is so partial to Nie Ying of the old emperor. As soon as he sat down, Nie Ying sensed some murderous aura surging towards him, and looked in the direction, but it was those envoys of the Ling Heavenly Dynasty. Immediately smiled coldly, reason is also ignored, in his heart, these are dead people, the difference is that Nie Ying has not thought of how to catch them all.
A celebration feast began, and after everyone paid tribute to the old emperor, they invariably pointed the finger at Nie Ying. Every time he toasted a glass, he would say: "Nie Gongzi is really admirable, he defeated two green-level powerhouses in a row, and he grew the majesty of my dynasty, come, do it." ”
In the end, the Ling Angels were embarrassed, and Nie Ying was also drunk, lying on the table, and there was a slight snoring. A yellow-level eight-leaf powerhouse will be drunk with wine, will everyone believe it? Especially Li Qingchu, he can't even make Nie Ying drunk, let alone wine?
Seeing this, Li Qingchu secretly had an uneasy thought in his heart, thinking of what happened in the harem in the afternoon, this thought became more and more innumerable.
The banquet was going on lively, and it seemed that it was near the end, when the old emperor suddenly stood on the high platform, looked at the ministers, and said majestically: "Ministers, and Ling Angels, today is the day to celebrate Nie Ying's achievements, and I take this opportunity to announce a major event. ”
"Big deal?" everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
Nie Ying, who was lying on the table, shook violently when everyone didn't notice him.
"After careful consideration, I decided to depose the crown prince Li Yaoyang... ”
Before the words were finished, everyone below exclaimed, happy many people, and more than a dozen people were depressed. Li Yaocheng threw himself over there, uncontrollably excited. More than a dozen imperial concubines were obviously smiling, as long as the crown prince was abolished, their sons would have a chance.
"Father, why?"
The old emperor glanced at Li Yaoyang with deep meaning, and then said loudly: "The eldest princess Li Qingchu is the crown prince. ”
