pitfall

In the splendid palace, several palace maids carried all kinds of trays and walked in with small steps, allowing the fragrance to overflow in all directions.

Hua Jinse sat beside Xiao Yu with a hat, observing the faces of everyone in the hall.

It's just that Hua Jinse glanced around, but still failed to find the man with a red mole on his earlobe. can only purse his lips, sit with his eyebrows low, and play the role of a portable doctor.

Xiao Yu was also a little confused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he still talked to Dongfang Hao with a light smile.

"I wonder if King Ning can rest recently? Have you ever been lazy? Dongfang Hao spoke kindly, and between his eyebrows and eyes was the kindness of the elders.

Xiao Yuju answered them one by one, and made enough of the posture of the juniors.

Hua Jinse has never been good at dealing with such things, and after saluting Dongfang Hao to identify himself, he sat in place and drank.

Suddenly, the concubine sitting beside Dongfang Hao accidentally knocked over the wine cup, and her sleeves were accidentally stained with some wine.

The palace people who were waiting on the side stepped forward in a panic to clean up the mess.

Due to Fang Cai's movements, the concubine's cloud temples swayed slightly, revealing the earlobes hidden under the bun and a pair of rounded pearl earrings.

Xiao Yu sharply noticed the red mole on the earlobe of the concubine's right ear. Squinting slightly, he turned his gaze to the prince's seat.

Dongfang Hao has very few heirs, only two princes and three princesses.

The eldest prince, also known as Dongfang Chen, was born by the noble concubine at the banquet, and he was crowned the prince early. However, I heard that he was not in good health, and he lived in the East Palace all the year round.

The second prince is the silly white sweet Dongfang Zhao they had seen before, who was born by Concubine Qin and was deeply loved by Dongfang Hao.

However, only the two princesses and the four people of Dongfang Zhao attended the banquet tonight, and the mysterious prince was nowhere to be seen.

Because it was a banquet now, there were people everywhere. Xiao Yu did not immediately tell Hua Jinse about his discovery. so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little hazy and drunk. Dongfang Hao got up solemnly, looked around at the people in the circle hall with a smile, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, Dongfang Hao spoke.

"I heard that King Ning is still unmarried, and there is not even a concubine in the mansion." Dongfang Hao laughed loudly, staring at Xiao Yu tightly.

Hua Jinse's hand picked up the vegetables, and only a few people who are familiar with his marriage with Xiao Yu have known about it so far, and it has not been hyped up.

One is to rescue Fuchen, and the other is that she doesn't like publicity, so Xiao Yu did not officially ask for marriage. Now it seems that it has given Dongfang Hao an opportunity.

The officials or royal children in the main hall all woke up because of this sentence. They all looked at Xiao Yu and Dongfang Hao, and some looked at the two princesses sitting on one side in a proper manner, Dongfang Ling and Dongfang Yan.

These two princesses are of the same age, one is a talented person in the palace, and the other is a brother and sister with Dongfang Zhao. At present, there are no relatives.

Dongfang Hao's move is an ingredient to win over Dongyu.

After all, there are only three suitable heirs for Dongfu Yu, and if two of them marry the princess of Ming Qi as concubines. From then on, no matter which one ascends the throne as emperor, it will be good for them to be Mingqi.

Xiao Yu knew Dongfang Hao's plan, it was nothing more than to take him alone to envoy Ming Qi, so that he could force a princess to him.

Xiao Yu also got up in the same way, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"Your Majesty's kindness, this king understands it. It's just that the king has a chronic illness, and the imperial doctor asserts that it is difficult for the king to live past thirty. Your Majesty's move, I'm afraid it is delaying the princess of your country. ”

Changning and Mingyue, who were standing in the shadows and guarding, "......"

is a ruthless person, in order to refuse to give marriage, he even let out the words of his short life.

Hua Jinse also had a bad face, although he knew that Xiao Yu was just finding an excuse to refuse Dongfang Hao's marriage. But his words were equally displeasing to her.

The good guy even said that he had a short life.

Dongfang Hao's smile froze, and looking at Xiao Yu's pale face, he couldn't help but think of Dongfang Zhao's report before. I can't help but feel sorry for it from the bottom of my heart.

Although he doesn't have much affection for his daughter. But Xiao Yu made it clear on the spot that he might not live long, and if he insisted on stuffing his daughter over, it would be equivalent to sending someone into the fire pit. Ended up with a bad reputation.

Seeing Dongfang Hao sit back unwillingly, Xiao Yu smiled back.

When he sat down again, there was a slight pain in his lower back.

Xiao Yu's face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to look at Hua Jinse. I saw Hua Jinse eating the vegetables indifferently, and pinching Xiao Yu's meat with the cover of the sleeves of his robe.

"Don't say that again next time."

Hua Jinse didn't look at Xiao Yu, but just whispered through the action of eating.

Xiao Yu naturally knew what Hua Jinse was referring to, and knew that she was annoyed because of her words that she would not live for thirty. winked at Hua Jinse at the moment, suggesting that she would pay attention next time.

Hua Jinse then gave the hand on Xiao Yu's waist and continued to eat the dishes in front of him casually.

Except for the interlude of marriage in the middle, tonight's banquet can be regarded as a joy for the guests and the hosts, and it is very satisfying.

By the time Xiao Yu and Hua Jinse returned to their place of residence, the sky had already darkened, and only a few stars dotted in the dark night sky.

"Jin'er, I saw someone with a red mole on his earlobe tonight." Xiao Yu took Hua Jinse's hand and sat in the courtyard, with a bit of depression between his eyebrows.

Hua Jinse looked at his distressed look and subconsciously asked, "Is that person's identity tricky?"

Xiao Yu frowned and told Hua Jinse about today's discovery.

"I suspect that the man I saw that day and night was the Prince."

After all, according to Dongfang Zhao, that mansion belongs to the prince's young master and belongs to the prince's faction. So it is not unreasonable for the prince of Mingqi to appear there.

Hua Jinse's face also became heavy. If it is the crown prince, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to investigate this matter.

Although Dongfang Chen is in-depth and simple, he usually does not come forward easily. But he has been able to hold the position of the crown prince for many years, so people can't find faults, I have to say that he is a deep thought.

Xiao Yu didn't want Hua Jinse to be upset about this matter, and was ready to find an opportunity to talk from Dongfang Zhao's mouth, or go to see the prince.

The two of them had a battle in their hearts, and neither of them noticed that Eleven's sword hand standing in the dark was trembling slightly.

The few of them stayed in the courtyard for a while, and when they saw that it was not early, they went back to their respective rooms to rest. ‘

Eleven lay on the bed tossing and turning, Xiao Yu's words kept repeating in his mind.

Men with red moles on their earlobes, weak crown age.

Closing his eyes, Eleven remembered a man with a face like a crown of jade. It was he who reached out and lifted him out of the mire, and it was he who gave him a new lease of life.

Could it be him?

In the second half of the night, Eleven couldn't sleep over and over again, and the guess in his heart could not be eliminated.

Lian Feng also said that Gongzi's identity in Mingqi was not as simple as they thought.

In the end, Eleven knocked on Hua Jinse's door with two dark circles under his eyes.

Hua Jinse has always slept lightly, and was awakened by a knock on the door after a while.

"Who?" Hua Jinse lit the oil lamp next to the bed and looked at the door of the outer room alertly.

Because she was the accompanying doctor, Ming Qi didn't send her many maids, so there were no maids guarding the room.

"It's me, Jinse."

Hearing the sound of Eleven outside the door, although Hua Jinse was puzzled, he still got up and put on his clothes, and went over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Eleven entered, and closed the door with his hand.

Hua Jinse was a little uncomfortable, and after lighting all the lights in the house, he looked at Eleven, "Is there something wrong?"

According to Eleven's character, he would never come to her at night.

Eleven looked at the sleepy-eyed Hua Jinse, gritted his teeth, and said, "Jinse, Gongzi has a red mole on his right earlobe, which is completely consistent with what King Ning said."

Hua Jinse's heart froze, and his eyes widened slightly, "But I haven't seen it before." ”

Eleven shook his head lightly and continued, "I followed Childe the earliest. When he rescued me on a street corner, I distinctly remember a bright red mole on his right earlobe, but it somehow disappeared. ”

Hua Jinse's heart was in turmoil, and Fuchen's medical skills were outstanding, and it would be easy for him to cover up the red moles on his earlobes with special techniques.

It's just that...... Why did he do it? Also, what happened to the Ming Qi chasing soldiers before? If it was him, how could he be held hostage?

Hua Jinse completely lost his sleepiness because of Eleven's words.

I looked at the sky again, and it was already slightly shining.

When Hua Jinse came to Xiao Yu's courtyard, Changning happened to be there.

"Miss Jinse?" Changning jumped down from the squatting tree and looked at Hua Jinse in puzzlement.

"Can you wake up the prince, I have something urgent to find him." Hua Jinse pursed his lips and said.

She has no way to think about it at the moment, she just wants to find Xiao Yu and find the familiar breath that reassures her.

Seeing Hua Jinse's appearance, Changning didn't dare to hesitate, and went in to wake up Xiao Yu. When he came out, he let Hua Jinse go in too.

Xiao Yu hadn't been able to come back to his senses when he was woken up by Changning, until he heard the word Jinse, and the whole person was awake.

Hua Jinse sat in the outer room waiting for him, his hands tightly clasped on a cup.

"Jin'er?" Xiao Yu didn't care about his clothes, and came out in a hurry, without even a crown of hair.

"Ah Jin......" Hua Jinse looked at the man walking towards him steadily, and the bitterness between his lips and teeth was indescribable.

If Eleven's words were true, they had fallen into a trap, a trap that had been painstakingly operating for years.

Xiao Yu ordered someone to pass breakfast up, and then sat quietly next to Hua Jinse, listening to her intermittently talk about Eleven's speculation.

"Lord Wang, breakfast is here." Changning stood outside the door and said.

Xiao Yu walked over, took the food box, and sat back down.

Hua Jinse now doesn't know how to face Xiao Yu.

It was she who dragged Xiao Yu into this danger.
