"The emperor's eyes are a little strange?"

However, this was only a moment, the emperor immediately took his eyes back, and continued to greet the guests, and the people around him didn't seem to notice what they had just done, and they were still drinking by themselves.

Could it be that the emperor has any handle in Gu Miaoxuan's hands?

However, not long after the banquet began, the emperor suddenly felt a little unwell, so he found an excuse to leave, to Gu Xiqian's surprise, the emperor seemed to be in a hurry when he left.

The more Gu Xiqian thought about it, the more confused she became, and then she suddenly remembered that when the emperor was talking to her before, her face was a little anxious, and she even glared at herself, could it be that he was trying to keep herself from talking?

And when the emperor just spoke, although there was a reproach in his words, his expression didn't look like he was reprimanding Gu Xiqian.

In addition, when she left, Gu Xiqian felt a little strange, because Gu Miaoxuan's expression attracted her attention, and she was actually laughing, as if she had succeeded in her plan.

And the emperor was also in a hurry when he left, as if he was avoiding something, could it be Gu Miaoxuan?

"It's rare to have good wine, but the emperor is not there, it seems that this wine banquet is a lot of shroud." The messenger sighed.

"The envoy's words are wrong, the good wine must be savored, only to learn the mystery, the emperor is also suddenly in a bad mood, and he doesn't want to waste such good products, so he left, please forgive me." Gu Xiqian explained.

The messenger did not say any more, but continued to drink with them.

At this time, Gu Miaoxuan said: "That's right, after all, the county lord just collided with the emperor, if it weren't for looking at the faces of the guests around you, please pay attention to your own words." ”

Gu Xiqian ignored it, and she didn't know who deliberately provoked the words just now.

However, now she is not in the mood to quarrel with Gu Miaoxuan, because the emperor's performance just now is too unexpected.

When the emperor just spoke, there were a lot of expressions on his face, and he didn't look like he was being controlled, and when he left, there was a slight twitching sensation on his face, and even his eyes glanced at Gu Miaoxuan, as if he was afraid that Gu Miaoxuan would follow.

All these actions made Gu Xiqian very puzzled, although Gu Miaoxuan is now a lot of power in the palace, why is she so scared when she sees her, does she have any handle that is enough to shake the emperor's status?

And Gu Miaoxuan kept arguing with herself all night, it seemed that the emperor's help just now made her more anxious and unscrupulous, and she was sure that she had the emperor's handle in her hands, if she had anything to do, the emperor would definitely help her.

As for what it is, Gu Xiqian doesn't know for a while, but he should be careful in his actions in the future.

Just when the banquet was at its most lively, I saw the priest walk in and greet politely: "Everyone, I missed the banquet due to the company's delay, I don't know what punishment you will make?" ”

The people around me originally felt that there was some smell of gunpowder here, but when they saw someone coming, they just shifted the target.

"Lord Priest, you came just in time, the emperor just left the table with a bad body, and the lord happened to be delayed, according to the rules, you should punish yourself with three cups, and someone will serve wine!"

The priest smiled, and then took his seat, raised his glass to the people, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

When the priest drank the third cup, he suddenly stopped and sighed, "Wine is good wine, but it is really boring for me to drink alone, ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

The priest understood what he meant, and they raised their glasses and drank from them.

At this time, the palace maids walked in one after another to pour wine, and Gu Xiqian found that this palace maid was different from the person who had just poured wine for herself, and looked at her like a dead face, as if she was like a puppet.

Moreover, the other party's method of pouring wine was obviously not as skilled as other palace maids, which made Gu Xiqian a little puzzled.

On the other side, the priest's mouth silently recited a few words, while Gu Miaoxuan stared at the cup on Gu Xiqian's seat.

After the palace maid finished pouring the wine, she didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, but stood behind Gu Xiqian, which made her understand something.

"When the wine is finished, you can go out." Gu Xiqian waved her hand and said to the palace maid behind her.

“...”

The palace maid did not speak, but looked at Gu Xiqian silently, when the two looked at each other, Gu Xiqian saw that her eyes were empty and blank, and there was no expression on her face, like a soulless walking corpse, and Gu Xiqian was a little disgusted.

"County Lord, the palace maid is just adding wine, that's also for convenience, why bother drinking like this, it's a little disappointing, isn't it?" Gu Miaoxuan asked.

Gu Xiqian smiled when she heard this: "The palace maid still has to follow the rules, why is she the only exception?" ”

The two were at a stalemate, and the atmosphere around them began to become a little awkward again.

"Come on! I'll give you another drink! Seeing that this was not right, the priest raised his glass and said, trying to give them the stairs down.

I saw that everyone raised their wine glasses and drank them, but Gu Xiqian didn't pick up the glass, which made the priest puzzled.

"County Lord, why don't you drink it?"

Gu Miaoxuan looked at Gu Xiqian's eyes and seemed to know something.

"No, just a little drunk, and let me rest for a while, please." Gu Xiqian held her forehead and said, her expression a little sad.

"County Lord, you might as well have another drink." The priest said with a smile.

knew that there was something strange in the wine, but looking at the expressions of the priest and Gu Miaoxuan, the people around him also echoed it.

"The county lord is not strong enough to drink, and it is really a bit disappointing."

"yes, it's a pity."

At this time, Concubine Zhou, who was silent at the banquet, originally wanted to say something, but remembering that the emperor had just helped Gu Miaoxuan like this, she was not suitable to express her position at this time, but she was secretly praying.

I saw Gu Xiqian staggering to her feet, and accidentally kicked over the wine glass while walking.

"The county lord is a little disappointed this time, why don't you have a drink, how about making amends to you?" The priest proposed.

Although Gu Xiqian's face was a little red, she could still see clearly that the eyes of the priest and Gu Miaoxuan were looking at each other, as if they were plotting something.

The surrounding guests also looked disappointed, and Gu Xiqian had no choice but to sit back.

The palace maid just now came over to pour the wine again, and Gu Xiqian looked at Gu Miaoxuan's eyes wrinkled slightly, as if waiting for the moment when she drank the wine.

"Then I'll give you a glass here." Gu Xiqian raised her wine glass and said.

Under the gaze of the priest and Gu Miaoxuan, Gu Xiqian drank the wine, and then wiped her mouth: "Everyone, the little woman is not strong enough to drink, so she will leave first." Then he stood up, saluted the people, and left.

The priest nodded at Gu Miaoxuan, and the other party immediately understood, and immediately glanced at the father-in-law behind him.

Except for the back of the hall, the coolness of the evening breeze made Gu Xiqian sober up a lot, but she still had to pretend to be drunk now, because she knew that the people behind her would not just let her go.

After staggering a few steps, a father-in-law walked over with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.

"County Lord, someone is looking for you, please come with me." Father-in-law said.

Gu Xiqian looked at the person in front of him, it was someone he had never seen, and thought that it was Gu Miaoxuan's plan, so he pretended to be drunk.

"We... Let's drink again! Gu Xiqian waved her hand and said.

The father-in-law who was watching from the side was a little embarrassed, because he brought her to the room at the behest of Gu Miaoxuan, and now the person in front of him was going crazy with alcohol, could he drag her over?

Gu Xiqian saw that the other party was a little hesitant, and her movements became more exaggerated, "What do you mean by this... I can still drink, don't go, you guys..."

As she spoke, Gu Xiqian sat down on the steps of the main hall, as if she didn't want to go.

The father-in-law is also embarrassed, the soft other party can't listen, and if he comes hard, he is afraid of causing trouble.

At such a stalemate, the father-in-law suddenly thought, "County Lord, I know that there is a place where there is wine, do you want to go with the slave to have a look?" ”

Gu Xiqian, who was sitting on the stone steps, was a little puzzled, but if she refused the other party, she would be startled, so she slowly stood up.

"Where? Where? Gu Xiqian said in a daze.

Seeing that she reacted, her father-in-law was a little happy, so he took her out of the hall.

Along the way, the slightest coolness when the evening breeze blew made Gu Xiqian sober up, looked at the father-in-law in front of him, and pretended to be confused and asked.

"Father-in-law, where are we going?"

At this time, my father-in-law was stunned, listening to Gu Xiqian's words so neatly, he must have sobered up.

"County Lord, weren't you looking for a drink just now? The minion will take you to a place where there is wine. The father-in-law replied.

Gu Xiqian looked at the darkness around her, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Father-in-law, I think you want to take me somewhere while I'm drunk, right?" ”

Seeing that his mind was seen through, his father-in-law immediately saluted and said: "The county lord's words are wrong, the slave really has something important to find the county lord, but the county lord was drunk at that time, and the slave had no choice, so he made this decision."

Seeing her father-in-law's aggrieved look, Gu Xiqian suddenly had no choice, "Say, who made you do this?" ”

The father-in-law immediately said: "Actually, some people said that they were looking for the county lord, but at that time, when the banquet began, it was inevitable that the other party would wait in the guest room, and I originally thought that after the banquet, I would report to the county lord, but now that the county lord has come out, why don't you go with the slaves?" ”

Gu Xiqian didn't look like he was lying, but when he asked who the other party was, his father-in-law looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to say it, or maybe he didn't know.

"Alright then, let's go over and see who it is." Gu Xiqian said helplessly.

The father-in-law immediately breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lead the way in front.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Gu Xiqian also understood that if there was really a problem with the wine just now, then this father-in-law was naturally Gu Miaoxuan's person, and the so-called important things were probably also a trap.
