The East Palace is in the Imperial City, and it is familiar with the road. It's not as lively as the Wei Wangfu, but it's still a little deserted.

But along the way, Qin Mubai seemed to feel that there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring behind him, which made him feel a little like he was on his back. Now it seems that it was really a wise decision to let Princess Gaoyang's car "take the lead". Right now, who doesn't know that the East Palace is an eventful place. The wind above the court is somewhat reversed, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is proud of the spring breeze, and the prince of the East Palace is pointing out that the call for the re-establishment of the waste storage has been covered by a wave.

At this time, taking the initiative to move closer to the East Palace, in the eyes of some people (such as the leaders of the Wei Wang's party) is a little suspicious of self-defeat. Many court ministers who were quite close to the crown prince before were also alienating him intentionally or unintentionally, like a plague.

The East Palace is only separated by a wall from the Wude Hall where Li Shimin's daily administration is approved. At this time, the crown prince Li Chengqian was in the Lizheng Palace, claiming to be Fuqin Yezhi, God knows what ridiculous things he was doing.

Anyway, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang have both decided, and they just came here to go through the motions, and the emperor summoned the two of them to the harem for a banquet.

The East Palace looked a little cold, and the soldiers of the six rates of the East Palace that they met along the way were like frosted eggplants, a little listless. The eunuchs were like lost dogs, walking back and forth in a slightly hasty trot.

Qin Mubai seemed to smell the smell of wind and rumors that were diffusing in the East Palace.

"Could it be that Li Chengqian's princely aura is about to run out?" Qin Mubai furrowed his brows, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "No wonder Li Ke is so anxious to leave Chang'an to avoid right and wrong." Once the imperial court re-establishes the prince, if it is Li Tai, God knows whether this powerful Li Tai will take off the cloak of Maitreya Buddha and kill them all, and clean up Li Ke, who is a potential threat to him. Historically, the struggle for the throne has been bloody. At the beginning, Li Shimin's Xuanwu change also killed people, including the innocent children of his brother and younger brother. Li Tai, the face is merciful and ruthless, and it will only be more excessive than Li Shimin......"

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but get goosebumps on his body. It's not that I'm afraid, it's ...... Inexplicably chilled.

The phrase "In the next life, don't be born in the emperor's family......" is so familiar. It seems that it was Concubine Yin De who said to the corpse of Li You, the king of Qi.

Inadvertently, Qin Mubai turned his head to look at Princess Gao Yang in the chrome car. She fiddled with her beloved bracelet with a smile on her face, unabashedly showing off the happiness of a little woman.

"Ling'er, although you are also a royal daughter, with my Qin Mubai here, I will no longer allow you to suffer calamities and pains." Qin Mubai said to himself in his heart, "In the past few years, you have suffered enough. I was incompetent before, unable to liberate you or share with you. Not now, you are my wife, I am your man, I will protect you. The power, glory and wealth that were once out of reach and diligently sought out, once they hit their faces, they felt like nothing more than that. What's the point of not having you and my family share with me? As long as I want you to be safe and happy, everything else can be abandoned......"

It wasn't until the main hall of Li was brought closer that an official of the East Palace came out to greet him. He didn't say much, just led Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang into the palace together, saying that the prince was playing the piano in the back garden, and invited the two to meet there.

The two didn't think much about it, and they came to the back garden.

Li Chengqian is indeed stroking the qin. Xiaoxiao is cold in the autumn wind, and his piano sound and back look quite lonely and desolate.

It's just that after seeing the object he faced when he played the piano, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang not only felt half desolate and sympathetic in their hearts, but were so disgusted that they almost vomited.

Li Chengqian was facing away from Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang, sitting lonely in front of a jade statue. And the jade statue is a vivid beauty. This beauty, Qin Mubai is no stranger. When he was in Xiangzhou Prince's Xingyuan, the "beauty" also gave Qin Mubai a glass of wine, and almost didn't let him vomit all the overnight meals.

That's right, the original form of the jade statue is the prince's prostitution "satisfied".

And in the flower garden not far from Li Chengqian, there was another person sitting at the small stone table, drinking by himself. Although his figure was mostly hidden among the strange flowers and plants in the flower garden of the East Palace, Qin Mubai seemed to smell the smell that disgusted him from a distance, belonging to a disgusting man who had turned to ashes and he also knew-Li Yuanchang, the king of Han.

"Ling'er, we really shouldn't have come." Qin Mubai twisted his eyebrows and stopped.

"Let's go, we're all here...... Brother Prince, it will be embarrassing! Princess Gaoyang gently pulled Qin Mubai's sleeve and whispered almost pleadingly.

"Hurry up and get out of now!"

"Good!"

The two walked forward slowly, and the official of the East Palace who led the way stepped forward to report, Li Chengqian stopped stroking the qin and got up, and turned to greet him: "Oh, Seventeenth Sister, Mu Bai, you are here." ”

The voice was very low, and the lack of middle qi seemed a little weak. Seeing that his complexion is also a little burnt and much thinner than before, his eyes are like a patient with insomnia for a whole year, dark circles, and his eyes are sluggish and weak.

"Wow, is the prince's brother sick? The complexion is so bad? Surprised, Princess Gaoyang forgot about the etiquette and the hustle.

"Oh, it's okay to foolish brother......" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly in embarrassment, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the satisfactory stone statue.

Qin Mubai saw it in his eyes, and thought coldly in his heart: How did the satisfying boy who made him love it become a statue? Is it hanging? Killed? He erected another stone statue here to hang alone?

stepped forward and arched his hand, Qin Mubai saluted, and said straight to the point: "His Royal Highness the Prince, thanks to the invitation, Qin Mubai is flattered. But unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict to Weichen yesterday, asking Weichen to accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang to Penglai Hall today, and dine with King Jin and Princess Jinyang with His Majesty. Therefore......"

"King Jin?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, he really looked like a person who had been a drug addict for many years and was terminally ill, his reaction was sluggish and his eyes were dull. Qin Mubai said that he was so brave, and the main purpose of his words was not King Jin, but he seemed to only hear the word King Jin.

"Brother Prince, what's wrong with you?" Princess Gao Yang asked in a low voice, still a little worried.

After all, Princess Gaoyang is a little girl's family, and she has not seen much of Li Chengqian's "true face", but at the moment, she still treats him as a brother, and she is quite concerned.

"Oh, oh...... Lonely, it's fine. Li Chengqian swallowed a few times, coughed a few times, and smiled embarrassedly, "It may be that there is some wind and cold, and people are not too sharp." Well, Mu Bai, since you are a family, you don't have to be polite to Lonely. Since Your Majesty has an edict, you should go and answer the edict! It's just a light meal, and you can eat it again at any time in the future. Today, I invited you to come, in fact, it is also for a private matter. ”

"What's the matter? I also hope that the prince will give advice. Qin Mubai asked patiently.

"Oh, it's related to King Han." After Li Chengqian finished saying this, he seemed to look at Qin Mubai with some apprehension, and said hesitantly, "That day, you ...... with him."

Qin Mubai twisted his brows, thinking in his heart, Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, as the emperor's uncle, has always had a very close relationship with Li Chengqian, and the two "went to the same window together (Li Yuanchang read with him in the East Palace), prostituted together (this does not need to be explained), and carried a gun together (Li Chengqian loves to play, and the team fights the game),", the key is so iron that it can no longer be iron, and almost even the prostitutes' children are shared (of course, Li Chengqian's once favorite "satisfaction") is an exception.

In front of him, he came out to be a peacemaker and mediate the conflict.

Thinking about this, Qin Mubai smiled indifferently: "It's just a misunderstanding." If His Royal Highness the King of Han blames, Qin will go to compensate him, and let it be disposed of. ”

"No way!" As soon as Qin Mu's vernacular fell, Princess Gaoyang's voice sounded in a high-pitched voice, "I was also present that day, it is clear that King Han is at fault first!" Mu Bai, catch a thief in your own home, that's right! ”

Obviously, she deliberately shouted so that Li Yuanchang in the flower garden in the distance could hear it.

Far away, Qin Mubai couldn't see Li Yuanchang's expression clearly at this moment, anyway, the crown prince Li Chengqian's face changed a little, embarrassed and annoyed, and a little helpless.

As the saying goes, beating dogs and bullying the master, who doesn't know that Li Yuanchang is the prince's ironclad friend, and he is still his uncle in terms of seniority, but it is not as simple as an "ordinary dog".

"Cough, Gao Yang, let's talk about things, don't you rush to interject?" Li Chengqian finally took out a little bit of the so-called "majesty" that may belong to the prince but is very unfamiliar to him, and said.

"Humph!" Princess Gaoyang's mouth curled, and she said a little arrogantly but very seriously, "Okay, just listen to the prince's brother, I won't intervene." However, no matter who it is, I don't allow him to bully Mu Bai! Otherwise, I'll fight to the death! - Tell me something, I'll wait outside the temple! ”

With that, she turned around gorgeously, lifted her skirt lightly and walked away.

"Uh, this little sister ......" Li Chengqian looked at Princess Gaoyang's back and smiled very embarrassedly.

What can he do? Even Emperor Li Shimin can't do anything to Princess Gaoyang, today, Princess Gaoyang is a fire that burned his East Palace, and Li Chengqian may only be able to shed a few sad tears.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to care, Gao Yang is such a child's temper, and he is just unforgiving." Qin Mubai smiled.

"Well, this lone naturally knows. is still reasonable. Li Chengqian smiled bitterly twice in embarrassment and said, "Mu Bai, it won't be long before you and Gao Yang will marry." Then we are also a family. King Han is our imperial uncle. Even if he is wrong in a thousand ways, he is also an elder! Besides, you've punished him too, so why don't you leave this matter at that? Listening to Lonely, he went to shake hands with King Han and make peace, and the previous grievances were written off. ”

Qin Mubai just didn't want to stay here for a while, so he smiled faintly and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said so, can Qin Mubai be a villain again?" Well, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to take care of the royal family's appearance, I will go to toast him and make amends. ”

"Hehe, Mu Bai is really a person who does big things, and he has a heart. Here, please—" After that, Li Chengqian led Qin Mubai to the flower garden.

Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, sat alone at the small stone table in the flower garden, drinking a cup of stuffy wine without a cup. Qin Mubai didn't get much closer, but he saw that his face was blue and purple, as if he was still "fat" a lot. He couldn't help but smile in his heart, it seemed that the fat beating that day could be regarded as something that he had endured.

Li Chengqian stepped forward and said in a typical peacemaker tone: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, Gu invited Qin Mubai here. The two of you have a glass of wine and shake hands, right? ”

Li Yuanchang made a face, and just used the swollen right side of his face to face Qin Mubai. At this time, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes were full of fierceness, and his bruised and puffy facial expression was very hideous.

Qin Mubai, who had walked on the battlefield several times, instinctively shrank his heart, and he was almost about to attack him-because he felt a murderous aura!

From Li Yuanchang!

"Shake hands?" Li Yuanchang opened his teeth, his speech was a little untouchable, his words were vague but the hatred was very obvious, the corners of his swollen mouth were picked with difficulty, he stood up and poured two glasses of wine himself, and handed one of them to Qin Mubai, "Okay, as long as he is willing to drink this cup of poisonous wine, this king will write it off with him!" ”

Qin Mubai frowned, and sneered faintly: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you have drunk too much." ”

"Why does Uncle Seven Emperor make such a joke?" Li Chengqian was caught in the middle with a very embarrassed wry smile, not only did he lose half of the majesty and demeanor of the prince, but he was a little frightened and uneasy, and said with his hands straight, "Calm down, calm down!" - Mu Bai, don't listen to him, this wine is a good wine in the lonely mansion, and it can never be poisonous. If you don't believe it, I'll have a drink to show you! ”

"Prince, get out of the way, don't do your business! Qin Mubai is a hero, isn't he? You won't be intimidated by a mere glass of poisoned wine, will you? Hum! Li Yuanchang smiled wickedly and was a little proud.

Qin Mubai didn't say much, and drank the glass of wine with a toast.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is nothing else, Qin Mubai will retire first." After saying that, Qin Mubai put down his wine glass, glanced at Li Yuanchang from the corner of his eye, shook his head, and with a disdainful smile that was almost sympathetic on the corner of his mouth, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stop!" Li Yuanchang suddenly shouted, Qin Mubai thought he was going to make trouble, and instinctively turned around to deal with it. Suddenly, Li Yuanchang raised his hand and poured the wine in the cup on Qin Mubai.

Almost at the same time, Qin Mubai raised his right hand and slapped it, and most of the wine was spilled on his hand.

"Ahh

Through his fingers, Li Yuanchang saw Qin Mubai's still smiling face, but his eyes were full of slaughter!

Li Yuanchang felt inadvertently chilled all over his body, and took a step back.

Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up between him and Qin Mubai, and said as if pleading: "Mubai! Mu Bai! You have to be calm! Han Wang ...... The amount of alcohol is not too good, too much, really just too much! ”

Li Yuanchang also hid behind Li Chengqian very naturally, glancing at Qin Mubai's provocative and smug sneer.

Qin Mubai slowly put down his hand, his expression was still calm, and there was still a faint smile on his face. He shook off the wine stains on his hand, took out an embroidered handkerchief given to him by Chen Yan when he was in Xiangzhou, wiped it, and smiled: "It's okay." Men, there are always times when you lose your temper after drinking. ”

"Huh......" Li Chengqian took a long breath, squeezed out a pale smile and said, "Mu Bai is really ...... Broad-minded and tolerant of all things! Well, today, King Han has drunk too much, and there is a lot of inconvenience. Some other day...... Another day, I invite Mu Bai to have a drink! ”

"Thank you. Leave. Qin Mubai arched his hand with a smile on his face, and glanced at Li Yuanchang inadvertently.

Li Yuanchang suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, and his body trembled!

This splash just now made him feel very addicted and relieved of his hatred, because in front of the prince, Qin Mubai's "prestige" was greatly disrupted, and he also expected that no matter how ruthless Qin Mubai was, he would not dare to really treat him as an imperial uncle.

At this moment, Li Yuanchang didn't know why he was shivering, and he felt very cold on his body, as if someone had been drenched with a bucket of ice water from beginning to end.

Qin Mubai had already left, leaving in no hurry as if nothing had happened.

Li Chengqian took a long breath, turned around in annoyance and was about to scold Li Yuanchang a few words, but he was shocked to find that Li Yuanchang's body was shaking as if he had a cold fever, his teeth were knocking, and his face was also pale.

"Uncle Seventh Emperor, what's wrong with you?" Li Chengqian asked in horror.

"Qin ...... Qin Mubai was murderous to me! Li Yuanchang was swollen in one eye, and he could only widen the other intact eye, and said with infinite panic in his eyes.

"Impossible, right?" Li Chengqian frowned in confusion, "I think he's very good, he didn't say much, he has a lot of tools!" Uncle Seven Emperors, don't be a soldier, that's impossible! ”

"No, it's true!" Instead of calming down, Li Yuanchang became even more panicked, "He glanced at me just now when he was leaving, and that look ...... Like, like ......"

"Like what?" Li Chengqian was also even more puzzled.

"It's like...... Look at the dead! ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head suspiciously: "Impossible, Uncle Seven Emperors, you really drank too much and had too much heart." Qin Mubai has always been kind to others, not such a person. Moreover, how can you say that you are also his uncle of the Seventh Emperor, he doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, can he still attack His Majesty the Emperor's own brother? You can rest assured, you will be fine! ”

Li Yuanchang didn't want to argue with Li Chengqian anymore, but his wide eyes narrowed, and he said as if talking to himself: "Maybe you're right, it's me who is too careful." Qin Mubai may indeed be a humble gentleman as you said...... But I remember the saying, "A dog that bites doesn't bark ......"

Li Chengqian was a little annoyed when he heard this, and immediately stopped talking, but after closing his voice, he became even more annoyed, and even a little angry: "Then I don't care!" You go and catch up with Qin Mubai and ask him if he really wants to kill you! - Go! ”

Outside the Lizheng Hall, Princess Gao Yang waited a little impatiently, walking around the chrome car anxiously. Seeing Qin Mubai come out, she took a few steps forward and grabbed his arm: "Let's go, I really don't want to stay here for a moment longer!" It's too depressing, it's too dull! …… Hey, why are you getting a little water stain on your body, wet? Hmm, and the smell of alcohol? ”

"It's okay, I drank two glasses with the prince, and I accidentally spilled on my clothes." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, "Get in the car and let's go!" ”

Princess Gaoyang looked up at Qin Mubai and blinked suspiciously: "Mubai, are you okay?" ”

"What can it be? Fool. Qin Mubai smiled, "Get in the car and go!" ”

"Oh......"

Out of the main gate of the East Palace, Qin Mubai glanced back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised a slight arc, revealing an unprecedented weird smile, and said lightly: "East Palace? Hehe! King Han? Hum! ……”

The finger bones holding the reins cracked like an explosion!
