Chapter 438: The Banquet

"What?" Murong Ji stood up in surprise, Xu was too excited, the hem of his clothes hung on the table of the wine glass, the wine glass gurgled to the ground, and the wine spilled Murong Ji's body.

Since Jin Yuan's arrival, Murong Ji's eyes have never left Ning Zhao, he listened to the conversation between Jin Yuan and Murong Cheng in his ears, and knew that when he heard that Ning Zhao was pregnant, his whole person was blindfolded.

Thinking that he was hallucinating, Murong Ji was still looking for a reason for his selfishness, but Jin Yuan announced the news of Ning Zhao's pregnancy in public, and all the reasons became bubbles, which exploded in front of his eyes in an instant, Murong Ji's heart throbbed violently, and he suddenly lost his sense of proportion.

"Sorry for the mistake." Receiving that everyone was worried or puzzled, and even Murong Cheng looked at him with malicious mockery, Murong was a little flustered, said hello to everyone, and left the venue quickly.

Jin Yuan and Ning Zhao glanced at each other, and then looked in the direction Murong Ji left, Murong Cheng watched Murong Ji disappear around the corner, laughed, turned his head and picked up the wine glass, and greeted: "Since everyone has arrived, then the banquet will begin." ”

Murong Cheng gave the waiter a look, the steward nodded and retreated, and after a while, the maids of the palace walked up with exquisite dishes, Murong Cheng drank the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, don't get drunk tonight!" ”

The banquet officially began, staggered, laughter, and Murong Cheng prepared singing and dancing during the banquet, and the scene was very lively.

Murong Ji changed his robe and returned to his position, and as soon as he sat down, he looked at Murong Cheng with a mocking gaze.

"Brother Huang, what's the matter? How did you go out and look so bad? Murong Cheng pretended to be worried and asked, "Isn't it that the imperial brother is too busy to bear it?" ”

Murong finally recovered from the news that Ning Zhao was pregnant, and now he didn't have the heart to fight with Murong Cheng at all, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, my brother is fine." ”

"It's okay." Murong Cheng smiled and said, "If the royal brother of Lindu and his party breaks his body and goes back to Kyoto to see his father, he will be distressed." ”

There was no obvious sarcasm in the tone, but it was uncomfortable to listen to, Murong Ji didn't answer, picked up the wine glass by himself, and drank it one by one.

This appearance of borrowing wine to dispel sorrow fell in Murong Cheng's eyes, and he hooked his lips sarcastically, and didn't say anything more.

The banquet lasted until late, Jin Yuan was happy in his heart, and everyone toasted and congratulated one by one, no matter how good Jin Yuan's wine was, he couldn't bear this battle.

At the end of the dinner, Jin Yuan was already drunk, but he just held on to his spirits, and he didn't forget that Ning Zhao was still there, and Liuying was not around, he was always mindful.

"Lord Jin, are you drunk?" The officials dispersed one after another, and Murong Cheng came to Jin Yuan's side, looked at Jin Yuan's slightly confused eyes, and said with a smile: "This is not good, can the adults ask someone to pick it up?" If not, the palace immediately arranged for someone to personally send Lord Jin and Mrs. Jin back. ”

Let Murong send it? Ning Zhao was afraid that he would be crazy before he agreed, and was about to refuse, but Murong Ji took the first step to open his mouth and said: "Yesterday, I bothered Mrs. Lord, I unfortunately dropped something in the post house, this king is about to look for it, it just so happens that Mrs. Lord wants to go back, so it is better to go along." ”

"The royal brother went to the inn?" Murong Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

Murong Ji looked at him, nodded with a smile, and said, "I happened to meet Mrs. yesterday, and I happened to catch up with the past. ”

"Reminiscing about the old days......" Murong Cheng touched this sentence, suddenly smiled, and said: "Since this is the case, then it is okay for Brother Lao Huang to send Lord Jin and Mrs. Jin." ”

"Remember." Murong Cheng leaned closer and said deliberately, "You have to send people back safely." ”

Murong Ji looked at Murong Cheng with a smile, inexplicably having some bad premonitions, then smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Murong Cheng, and said: "The crown prince and brother can rest assured, the younger brother is not drunk tonight, and he will personally send Lord Jin and his wife back safely." ”

"Good." Murong Cheng smiled, nodded at a few people, and said, "Then go early and return early, and the palace will be lost first." ”

After saying that, Murong Cheng glanced at Jin Yuan and Murong Ji, then his eyes fell on Ning Zhao, smiled slightly, and then turned to leave.

Ning Zhao didn't talk much all night, she just wanted to end the banquet quickly and go back early, Murong Cheng held the banquet just to win people's hearts, but she didn't know what other purpose there was after that.

Murong Cheng had a previous conviction first, and Ning Zhao was really worried that he would play some tricks again.

"Let's go." Ning Zhao held Jin Yuan's arm, looked at Murong Ji, and said.

Murong Ji nodded, looked at the two people who were with him and paused, and then raised his feet and walked out first.

Jin Yuan did drink too much, but it didn't affect his thinking, he left the palace with Ning Zhao, Murong Ji had already prepared the carriage and waited, seeing this, Jin Yuan arched his hand towards Murong Ji, and said apologetically: "And His Royal Highness King Lao Chu, the lower officials really don't want to go." ”

Murong glanced at Jin Yuan very lightly, shook his head, his eyes fell on Ning Zhao, and said, "Madame has to pay attention to pregnancy, and this king and Madame are also friends, so naturally they have to take care of it." ”

In and out of the words, he only said that he was Ning Zhao's friend, and Jin Yuan was just stained with Ning Zhao's light.

Jin Yuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, but the corners of his mouth were hooked.

Murong Ji is still a little childlike after all, and he doesn't hide his unhappiness at all, just like when he went to the hospital to find Ning Zhao's theory before.

But it's okay like this, at least it's not as thoughtful as Murong Cheng, but this kind of character definitely can't become a big deal, at least that high position, Murong Ji is still far behind.

"No matter what, thank Your Highness the King of Chu." Ning Zhao spoke up, blessed Murong Ji, and said, "It's not too early, let's go." ”

Ning Zhao said that Murong Ji was still very concerned, nodded immediately, and helped pull Jin Yuan into the carriage, Ning Zhao followed him in and sat down, and the carriage drove slowly.

The distance from the palace to the post house was not very far, but Jin Yuan was drunk, Ning Zhao was pregnant, and Murong Ji specially explained to let the coachman be more stable.

The road was calm, and seeing that he was about to reach the place, Ning Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before this breath was finished, the carriage suddenly shook violently, Jin Yuan was unstable, and directly hit the wall of the carriage, and Jin Yuan was drunk and subconsciously protected Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao fell into Jin Yuan's arms, but he was frightened, but nothing else.

Murong Ji was also hit hard by this, frowning and about to reprimand, but the carriage stopped suddenly.

Jin Yuan sat up and protected Ning Zhao in his arms, Murong Ji rubbed the painful place, and reached out to lift the curtain to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the curtain of the car, an arrow flew at once, cutting through the curtain and coming at Murong Ji's eyebrows.

Murong was so shocked that before he could react, a strong force suddenly attacked behind him, and the whole person was violently pushed to the side, while Jin Yuan was holding Ning Zhao and taking advantage of the situation, and the arrow was firmly inserted into the wall of the carriage!

"What people!" Murong Ji reacted immediately and shouted loudly: "Someone! There are assassins! ”

He is a dignified King of Chu, and he always brings a few retinues with him when he travels, all of whom are masters of the Great Interior, but the assassin's arrows have already arrived in front of him, but it is still very quiet outside, and there is no sound at all.
