Thinking of the sneaky little eunuch he saw in the back garden before, although he was caught later, he didn't knock out any useful value from his mouth, and now, he has been keeping his mouth shut, just to cover up this secret thing!

Qiao Mingyue nodded when she heard this, if she didn't guess wrong, this secret passage should go straight to the bottom of the altar, Tuoba Gong had already known that there was the lifeblood of Nanzhao Kingdom under the altar, so he began to dig the secret passage here, in order to let the secret passage lead to the bottom of the altar, and the gods unknowingly took away the treasures under the altar.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little difficult, if Tuoba Gong dug through this secret passage, and happened to run into a secret passage they dug, wouldn't he know that they were also digging a dark passage!

Qiao Mingyue was thinking in her heart, pulling Qi Jingyun to go back, Qi Jingyun was a little puzzled, this has not yet reached the end of the dark passage, and she has not seen where the secret passage has been leading, why is she in a hurry to leave?

Qiao Mingyue saw that he didn't want to go, so he leaned into Qi Jingyun's ear and said that if he wanted to do it, he would make a big one, Qi Jingyun suddenly became interested when he heard this, and obediently followed Qiao Mingyue away.

Back in the courtyard, Qiao Mingyue asked people to prepare firecrackers, which happened to be her birthday soon, and she could use her birthday to make a fuss.

Looking at her smiling little fox, Qi Jingyun knew that she must be thinking of some kind of ghost idea.

Qiao Mingyue's birthday was half a month later, and the two of them wandered around in this half month, playing around, they had nothing to do, and the emperor was happy to see it, after all, ...... Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun can be hostages with peace of mind, which is naturally undesirable for him.

Therefore, the guards in this palace didn't care about the two of them, and the two of them regarded the palace as their home, seeing that Qiao Mingyue's birthday was approaching, Qi Jingyun was even more planning to make a big deal.

In the past few days, the carriages in and out of the palace, carrying all kinds of things, are all to give Princess Jin a good birthday.

Qi Jingyun is also generous, even the guards guarding the palace also got a reward, so that they are also happy, these people are on errands in this palace on weekdays, naturally they can't compare to the guards in the Kyoto Imperial Palace to get oil and water.

Even if the emperor and his entourage come to this palace every year, they only reward some captains and officials, and they ordinary guards naturally can't get any benefits.

I didn't expect to be able to get so many benefits from King Jin today, and this group of people naturally blossomed one by one, and they talked about Qi Jingyun's goodness.

The birthday banquet was set for the evening, Qi Jingyun specially called two cooks from the capital, made a large table of meals, and ordered someone to send wine and food to the guards on duty tonight, so that everyone could have fun together.

Originally, those guards didn't want to accept it, but they couldn't stand the two words of persuasion from the attendants beside Qi Jingyun, so they half-pushed and half-accepted the wine and food sent by Qi Jingyun, and a group of people sat around and drank wine.

The small courtyard was brightly lit, Qi Jingyun looked at the few people sitting opposite, the face on his face was a little not good-looking, Tuoba Yulai didn't care, what does this Ye Yichen mean?

There were also Lord Admirals and a few officials who were good friends with the crown prince, and a group of people sat around the table, smiling and wishing Qiao Mingyue a happy birthday.

Qiao Mingyue generously accepted everyone's blessings, and proposed to eat first, everyone came from all over from Kyoto, and this intention was also rare.

You must know that this palace and Kyoto, even if it is a quick horse, it will take two hours away, she is sincerely grateful to these people for being able to come to her birthday banquet, if these people don't come, then this scene really doesn't know how to play it.

Especially...... Qiao Mingyue looked at Ye Yichen, who had been looking at everyone with a smile, the eldest son of the Ye family, and now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

As if sensing Qiao Mingyue's gaze, Ye Yichen looked at her, shouting a little smile in his clear eyes, he was always like this, giving people a sense of kindness and easy approachability.

It's just that as the eldest son of the Ye family of the big family, Qiao Mingyue doesn't believe that he is really so harmless to humans and animals inside.

The reason why he was invited here was because he was in Tuoba Gong's camp, and he had to testify about the next good show, so as not to suspect Tuoba Gong and the emperor.

As for...... Why Ye Yichen is very simple, because the people in the Tuoba Gong camp she knows who can still speak are the only ones Ye Yichen alone.

And the most important thing is that the Admiral was chased by the killer that day, and the soldiers in the city were ordered not to open the city gate, the person who opened the city gate for the Admiral from the inside and let them in, Qiao Mingyue thought for a long time, and Ye Yichen was the only one.

It's just that I don't understand, Ye Yichen is obviously a person in the Tuoba Gong camp, why would he help them? If the Admiral and the Liu family were killed, Cui'er would not retract her confession, and then the winner of that game would be Tuoba Gong.

As a person in the Tuoba Gong camp, Ye Yichen should have hoped to see Tuoba Gong become the future Son of Heaven, but he let his opponent go at a critical time, which is really not like Ye Yichen's style of acting.

Qiao Mingyue was puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help but stare at Ye Yichen for a while, until a pair of hands gently held her hand and pinched it, Qiao Mingyue came back to her senses, looked at someone's taste, and hurriedly poured him a glass of wine.

"Today, I am also a birthday star, the birthday star personally poured wine, I hope the prince can be happy, and everything will go smoothly in the future." Speaking flatteringly, Qiao Mingyue didn't forget to wink at Qi Jingyun.

The latter only sighed slightly, and drank the wine she had poured over.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp here, Tuoba Yu was a little repulsive to Ye Yichen, and rarely talked to him during the banquet, and the ministers in Tuoba Yu's camp saw Tuoba Yu's attitude, and they all avoided Ye Yichen one by one.

Ye Yichen was left aside alone, drinking with his head down, but he looked idle and indifferent.

"Lord Ye's new official taking office is a happy event, and this official has not had time to congratulate Lord Ye in the future!" Lord Admiral walked up to Ye Yichen with a glass of wine in his hand and raised his glass to congratulate him.

Ye Yichen smiled casually, stood up, and said humbly: "It's not a big deal, adults don't need to care about this." ”

The two of them were talking back and forth, as if they were very familiar old friends, Qiao Mingyue naturally understood the reason in her heart, Lord Admiral would choose this time to go to Ye Yichen's side to say hello to him, just to thank him for opening the city gate and letting them into the city at that time.
