Since the imperial banquet in the palace that day, Su Yanqing, Fu Yin and others asked the Great Yan Emperor Helian Yingche to resign and decided to leave the imperial city for the time being.

When Su Yanqing asked Helian Yingche to resign, he said that he intended to take the scholar Ah Fu and his favorite guqin to travel to the mountains and rivers of Dayan, enjoy the scenery along the way, and find inspiration for his own qin music creation.

Su Yanqing's reason for traveling in the mountains and rivers was naturally to say that he listened to it with Emperor Helian Yingche and Gongliang Zhu'er and others. Su Yanqing's decision to leave the Imperial City temporarily this time was nothing more than to re-establish contact with the Northern Hell spies left behind in Dayan, obtain favorable information, and regain the position of the spy department. At the same time, Su Yanqing's scholar Ah Fu also received a report from the Northern Underworld spy lurking in Rouyi, saying that Rouyi intended to launch a general attack on Dayan after the end of the year, and specially told Su Yanqing to be more careful in Dayan. This news was also confirmed in the secret letter from Su Bili Feishu, the prince of the Northern Underworld, to Su Yanqing.

Su Yanqing, who had grasped the opportunity, had already sensed the danger of the war between Dayan and Rouyi, so he had to operate it in advance and understand the truth of the matter through the mouth of the spy. After thinking about it, Su Yanqing decided to leave the imperial city temporarily, collect intelligence, do his duty for the country, and do his best to prevent Rouyi from fighting with Dayan.

The young man of the rivers and lakes Fu Yin likes to be free and unrestrained, and in the past few days in the imperial guard camp and the palace, Fu Yin is like a trapped beast, which makes the always casual Fu Yin feel quite uncomfortable. Even though Helian Yingche repeatedly retained, hoping that Fu Yin could stay and assist him, Fu Yin still took the initiative to resign, intending to return to the rivers and lakes.

Helian Yingche couldn't keep them, so he first found an excuse, hoping that the two would stay for the time being, and it would not be too late to leave after the New Year.

After all, Helian Yingche is the king of a dignified country, and the Ninth Five-Year Supreme graciously retains it, and Su Yanqing and Fu Yin are not easy to refute Long's face, so they open their mouths to refuse. I had to stay in the Imperial City for a few more days.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year has arrived.

Helian Yingche set up a night banquet in the palace to entertain the courtiers, and Su Yanqing, Fu Yin and others were also invited.

At the same time, Helian Yingche also specially instructed the chief eunuch Xiao Tuanzi to invite several princes and princes living in the imperial city to come to the banquet.

Gongliang didn't want to go because of his proton identity and the relationship with Helian Yingche, but the emperor's order was difficult to do, and when he thought that Su Yanqing and Fu Yin were going to travel far away, he didn't know when he would be able to see each other, so he was reluctant, so he agreed.

Gongliang Jie'er sent away the chief eunuch Xiaotuanzi on the front foot, and his twin brother Gongliangyao on the back foot found Gongliang Jie'er and analyzed the current situation with Gongliang Jie'er.

"You'er, you can't go to the night banquet in the palace tomorrow." Gongliang Yao bluntly stopped Gongliang from going.

"Why?" Gongliang'er was very puzzled by the nervousness revealed in his brother Gongliangyao's words.

"Do you know who the emperor will invite to the banquet tomorrow night, in addition to the people from the imperial guard?"

Gong Liangyao was delicate, but when he heard that the emperor was holding a banquet, he keenly smelled a trace of danger.

Gongliang'er understood and instantly understood what his brother Gongliangyao meant.

"Brother is afraid that among the people who will attend the night banquet tomorrow, he will meet someone who can see through the identity of the child? Afraid that the identity of the child will be exposed? Gongliang asked softly.

"You and I are in the Imperial City now, so it's better to be careful. After all, the last time you went to the palace for a banquet, you were almost caught by the Queen Mother. I think the Queen Mother has long suspected your identity. It is even possible that the Queen Mother recognized you as the original concubine Yun Wei'er in the palace. The Queen Mother has not revealed your identity in public like Imperial Doctor Jiang, not because she intends to let you go, but because she has not fully grasped the evidence that is sufficient to prove your identity. ”

"The Queen Mother's hostility towards me has always been there. But the others are different, although I was in the palace back then, but there are not many people who can really contact the intersection, I want to have a banquet tomorrow night, a banquet for all the courtiers, naturally just like the usual banquet, drink and talk, enjoy the song and dance, and after the night banquet, everyone has dispersed, who will notice me? Besides, I am dressed as a man, and I have the title of the second son of the Pingxi Hou Mansion as a disguise, even if someone recognizes my appearance and has doubts, I should not repeat the mistakes of the past like Imperial Doctor Jiang, expose me in public, be bored, and even set myself on fire. I think tomorrow night, I can still keep myself safe. ”

Even after hearing Gongliang Jie'er's explanation and analysis, Gongliang Yao was still relieved to let his sister Gongliang Jie'er go to the palace to take risks.

Seeing that Gongliang Yao was still worried about his safety, Gongliang Jia'er said softly and comforted: "It's better to be like this, if my brother is really worried that Fu'er's identity will be recognized, why don't you continue to play tomorrow with the poison of smallpox and cover your face with a veil, won't it be easy for people to find out and recognize your face?" ”

Gongliang Yao'er frowned, listened intently, and suddenly proposed: "If you have to go to tomorrow's night banquet, then it is safer for me, the elder brother, to go to the banquet for you." ”

Gongliang Jia'er shook his head, and said with a smile: "Jia'er knows that my brother is worried about my brother's safety, but tomorrow night's banquet, my brother can't replace Jia'er, because my brother is not familiar with other people, in case someone notices something strange, and thus suspects my brother, it will bring danger to my brother." Therefore, tomorrow's palace night banquet, you must go in person. Brother, don't worry, you will definitely be able to come back safe and sound. ”

Gongliangyao had nothing else to do, so he had to agree with his sister Gongliang'er's idea and allow Gongliang'er to enter the palace for a banquet tomorrow.

"If you want to go tomorrow, you will definitely let Xianyun and Langyue follow you into the palace, even if something happens, the two of them can take care of you." Gong Liangyao repeatedly advised.

"I know, I'll remember my brother's entrustment."

Gong Liangyao then got up and went back to his room.

After Gongliangyao left the inner room, Xianyun and Langyue came to Gongliang's side.

Lang Yuexian couldn't help asking: "Miss, that day, the Queen Mother gave Miss a little mandarin duck score, and wanted to point out the matter of marrying Princess Furou to Miss Miss, why didn't Miss explain it to the little marquis?" Perhaps, the little marquis will have a way to deal with this matter. ”

Xianyun also said: "Yes, in case Miss enters the palace for a banquet tomorrow, and the Queen Mother deliberately brings up the old matter again, and uses the matter of marriage to embarrass Miss, how can it be good?" ”

"If the Queen Mother really intends to trouble me and not, no matter what I do, it will be the same. As for the Queen Mother's marriage, I think it is nothing more than to test me and force me to disobey my orders, so as to condemn me. This matter, even if I say it to my brother, it is not beneficial, I can't let my brother take my place and marry Princess Furou, right? ”

In the tense situation, Gongliang still doesn't forget to make a little joke.

"The slave maid thinks that the queen mother will never let the young lady go easily. Moreover, it is not unreasonable for the little marquis to be worried, tomorrow the emperor will have a night banquet for the courtiers, and there will be people who have known the young lady before. Although the emperor is in charge, he will protect the young lady, even if they doubt the identity of the young lady, they will not dare to make a mistake easily, but if there is any omission, the young lady will be in danger of being exposed. This is said to be indispensable. Xianyun was kind enough to persuade on the side.
