During the entire banquet, Ning Zhao couldn't lift any spirits, in addition to the fact that he didn't like these, there was another reason - Jin Yuan was not there.

It stands to reason that Jin Yuan is indispensable at every such gathering, and today's champion, such an elegant gathering, will invite him to participate, and he can be regarded as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, with a long face for the emperor.

But this time Jin Yuan was not there, Ning Zhao didn't know why, his mind slipped away, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Unlike her, everyone was in high spirits, and the prince and the king of Chu did not say goodbye, and the banquet continued, and by the time everyone was drunk and hot, and many people were drunk and hazy, the sky had already darkened.

"Today is really fun, I think it should be because of the royal brother's participation."

The prince held the wine glass, looked at Murong Ji with drunken eyes, and then touched it on his wine glass, and the jade cup made a crisp sound.

"Brother Huang, don't want to lift me up, I think everyone is because of my father, if it wasn't for my father who said he was coming, everyone wouldn't be able to gather like this."

Murong Ji was obviously also drunk, picked up the wine glass and drank it, and said with a smile.

The so-called speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

When Murong Cheng heard King Chu's words, he couldn't help but go back and forth in his heart a few times, smacked for a long time, and laughed: "No wonder my father values my brother so much, you are indeed more pleasing to my father than me." ”

"What did the crown prince and brother say?"

King Chu tilted his body and said with a smile: "My father and emperor treat everyone equally, and I also have high hopes for the crown prince and brother, you are the prince of a country, how can I compare." ”

Hearing this, Murong Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, laughed for a while, stood up with a wave of his sleeves, picked up the wine jug, and walked towards the King of Chu in a staggering manner, "It's rare to be so happy today, you have to drink two glasses with me, come, the imperial brother will fill it for you." ”

The king of Chu was so drunk that he couldn't get up at all, so he had to lift his wine glass and sit and accept the prince's wine.

Murong Cheng's movements did not stop, he poured it full, drank the wine in the cup with his head high, and then threw the wine glass, and the jade cup fell to the ground and shattered into several petals, "This palace is drunk, let's disperse today!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked away crookedly.

Everyone in the audience, you look at me, I look at you, the sober ones all got up and left silently, and those who were drunk, for some reason, still pulled the people around them to continue drinking and having fun.

After drinking the last cup, the king of Chu was completely drunk and died, lying on the desk and not moving.

Ning Zhao's brows frowned slightly, his gaze swept over everyone, and then he got up and came to King Chu's side, and called softly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu? Your Highness, you are drunk, let someone send you home. ”

King Chu heard the voice vaguely, his eyes opened a gap, and when he saw that it was Ning Zhao, he smiled and put his hand on her shoulder to get up,

"Second Miss Ning, I haven't ...... today Belch...... I haven't talked to you enough. ”

Ning Zhao took two steps back, stretched out his hand to help Murong Ji, and glanced at the palace people beside him, the palace people hurriedly stepped forward and supported the King of Chu, Ning Zhao let go of his hand and said, "Your Highness is drunk today, let's go back and rest first." ”

"I'm not drunk!" Murong Ji waved his hand, wanting to wave away the palace people who were supporting him, but because he didn't have the strength in his hand, he didn't wave it at all, but instead hit his knee on the desk, his body was crooked, and he almost fell.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Ning Zhao was taken aback.

Fortunately, the palace people were quick and helped Murong Ji.

Murong Ji was still muttering something in his mouth, and Ning Zhao couldn't hear it clearly, frowning and commanding to the palace people: "Your Highness is drunk, you should send him back quickly." ”

The palace people nodded, drove Murong Ji's arm left and right, and directly took the person away.

After solving Murong Ji, Ning Zhao was also about to leave, and inadvertently glanced at his position, Ning Jian had long since disappeared.

Ning Zhao didn't think much about it, turned around and left.

The night grew thicker and thicker, the palace was brightly lit, and the quiet paths were mixed with the scent of flowers and wine, and as the breeze blew, it trickily burrowed into her nose, and she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

Such a beautiful day, but Jin Yuan is not there.

Ning Zhao didn't delay any longer, and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

Passing through the Qinzheng Palace, Ning Zhao couldn't help but look inside, the lights were brilliant, and he could see a little figure, thinking that the old emperor was still inside at the moment.

Ning Zhao shook his head slightly, raised his feet to leave, and then as if he remembered something, he opened the medicine box and took out a prescription from it, "How did you forget this." ”

Looking at the prescription, Ning Zhao was a little annoyed.

Xu was only thinking about how to deal with the old emperor in the afternoon, and he was so restless that he forgot to give the prescription to the eunuch who was waiting.

Thinking about it, Ning Zhao hesitated for a while, but still walked in with his feet raised.

The eunuch was guarding the door of the hall, and when he saw someone coming, he squinted his eyes and saw that it was Ning Zhao, so he couldn't help but put on a smiling face and said with a smile: "Why did Miss Ning Er come here at this hour?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the hall and smiled meaningfully, "Your Majesty still has to deal with government affairs, and the little one will report it?" ”

"No need!" Ning Zhao lowered his voice, quickly stopped him, and then handed the prescription to the eunuch, and said: "I left in a hurry today, this is a new prescription for the emperor, three times a day, my father-in-law must remember to let the emperor take it on time." ”

The eunuch took the prescription, carefully nestled it in the palm of his hand, nodded at Ning Zhao, and then asked again, "Second Miss Ning really doesn't go in?" ”

Ning Zhao hurriedly shook his head.

finally escaped, she went crazy and sent it to the door by herself, if this was seen by the old emperor, what would it be? Do you want to get away with it?!

Thinking of this, the corners of Ning Zhao's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he hurriedly blessed the eunuch, immediately said goodbye, and left the Qinzheng Hall quickly.

The imperial garden is in the harem, and if you want to get out of the palace, you have to cross most of the palace.

Anyway, it was already late, Ning Zhao was not in a hurry, and walked slowly, thinking for a while whether the old emperor would ask Ning Hong for verification, and then thinking about why Jin Yuan didn't appear, and when she came back to her senses, the scene in front of her made her pause.

East Palace.

This is the place where she lived for a long time in her previous life, and now it looks so familiar, so familiar that it makes her angry.

Ning Zhao looked at the palace in the center of the East Palace, where Murong Cheng usually worked, his gaze slowly moved, and he swept over the places where these trees were imprinted in the depths of his memory in turn, and the memories also poured out mercilessly.

The sweeter it is, the more heart-wrenching it is!

Ning Zhao stood for a long time, until her body gradually became cold, she suddenly came back to her senses, her vision was a little blurred, she blinked, a drop of warm liquid slipped down, and then only a cold touch remained.

Ning Zhao raised his hand and touched it gently, then chuckled, such a mockery, "The past is like this, but things are not people......

Memories make talents sink, and they also make people experience the heartache again, Ning Zhao closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, the fragility in his eyes disappeared, replaced by indifference and firmness.

“…… There will be a day when it will come to an end. Ning Zhao said softly, and then raised his feet to leave.

Turning around, she paused suddenly, and the next moment she looked back, the sneaky figure in the darkness was so familiar, "Ning Lian? How did she end up here? ”
