The second prince used to hate, but now he feels that everything is meaningless.

"You go down first!" The emperor couldn't guess for a while whether he was lying or not, so he let him leave the imperial study.

One person's ambition cannot be extinguished so quickly.

The emperor was worried that the second prince was deliberately retreating and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

"Do you think his word is credible?" The emperor asked.

Xiao Hanyin was silent, he felt that the second prince's words were not very credible, after all, a prince who had wanted to ascend the throne since he was a child, how could he take the initiative to give up everything overnight.

However, he could not say these words directly.

The status of the second prince is precious, and it is not something he can discuss, especially in front of the emperor, he must be careful when he speaks.

"Father, everything will be known when you celebrate your birthday!" The prince and Xiao Hanyin's thoughts are similar.

They all felt that the second prince would not leave the imperial city in peace.

However, things have not yet reached that point, and they are not easy to jump to conclusions.

What if the second prince really plans to leave the imperial city temporarily......

After listening to the prince's words, the emperor decided to wait for his birthday to make a decision.

If the second prince is no longer a demon, then let him leave quietly, if he dares to disobey the yang and the yin, he will never care about the relationship between father and son again.

Once a poisonous snake is raised, it is likely that it will be you who will be killed in the end.

As the king of a country, how could the emperor not know this truth......

"Your Majesty, regarding the case of the murder of the wealthy merchant in the imperial city, Weichen is incompetent and has not found any clues!" After the matter of the second prince was put aside for the time being, Xiao Hanyin immediately knelt in front of the emperor and pleaded guilty.

"You and Du Wenhai have not been able to find out who the murderer is, it seems that the other party is not only prepared, but also very mysterious!" The emperor frowned.

The emperor knows the abilities of the two of them best, and now he can't even find out about them, and things are much trickier than he imagined.

"Weichen guesses that he has left the imperial city temporarily!" As for whether he will come back or not, he really can't be sure.

"You can put this matter aside for the time being, and concentrate on preparing for the birthday banquet, I don't want any mistakes that day!" The emperor said darkly.

"Slightly silent!" The matter has reached an impasse, and it can only be put aside for the time being.

However, the murderer is like a razor-sharp knife hanging over their heads.

No one could have predicted when he would strike again.

On the emperor's birthday, the ministers of the court and their Qingjun will come over.

When the time comes, everyone gathers together, and if something happens, there will be a great deal of confusion.

Xiao Hanyin and the crown prince both knew what the emperor was worried about, so they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Afterwards, the prince chatted with Xiao Han privately for a while.

"Regarding the murderer, my father wants to wait for the birthday banquet before investigating, I'm afraid you're going to have to work hard these days!" The prince also had a headache about this.

However, he lives in the palace, and many things are not easy to interfere in directly.

"Your Majesty means that you want to test the second prince, does it really have nothing to do with the killing of the rich merchant?" Xiao Hanyin heard the meaning of his words.

"That's right, my father didn't fully believe what the second prince said at the moment, so he still planned to crown the second prince as King Liang at the birthday banquet, and let him leave for the fiefdom immediately, if the murderer was really his subordinate, it was very likely that he would leave with him at that time......" The prince told Xiao Hanyin what the emperor meant.

"Weichen will definitely do his best to arrange the emperor's birthday banquet, and will never give the murderer a chance to take advantage of the loophole!" Xiao Hanyin decided that on the day of the birthday banquet, he would definitely send more people to protect the emperor.

After all, there were too many people who came that day, and if the murderer disguised himself as someone else and infiltrated the birthday banquet, then the emperor would be in danger.

"My father and I both believe in your ability, and if this matter is left to you, it will be foolproof!" The prince smiled.

"Thank you Your Highness for your trust, Weichen will definitely not live up to your entrustment!" Xiao Hanyin finally understood why the emperor insisted on announcing the matter of letting the second prince leave the imperial city at the birthday banquet.

It turned out that he wanted to invite you into the urn.

If the murderer really appeared, then his plan to lure the snake out of the hole would have succeeded, and if the other party did not appear, the second prince could also follow his arrangement and obediently roll out of the imperial city.

The emperor's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After Xiao Hanyin chatted with the prince for a few words, he hurriedly left the palace, seeing that the emperor's birthday was just a few days away, and there was still a lot of things he needed to do.

Now, although he controls the power of the secret organization, the emperor has already given half of the power to Du Wenhai in order to balance him.

The birthday banquet still needs to be arranged by them.

After Du Wenhai knew what the emperor meant, he had been very cooperative with Xiao Hanyin, and he was also worried that on the emperor's birthday, an assassin would suddenly appear.

They are all the emperor's courtiers, so naturally they hope that he can be safe and sound.

If something happens to him, everyone will be to blame.

The two discussed privately and decided to set up a secret outpost, which was known only to the two of them, and even the emperor hid it.

The less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

Xiao Hanyin was busy with Du Wenhai secretly deploying manpower and some organs to protect the emperor, and the food and wine at the birthday banquet were all prepared by Liu Qingshao.

This is the emperor's order, and Liu Qingshao can't refuse.

At the same time, the clothes worn on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet were also designed by Liu Qingshao himself.

Originally, they wanted Liu Qingshao to be in charge of the clothes to be worn that day by the concubines above the harem concubines. globe

However, Liu Qingshao is alone, and there are too many things to prepare, and she can't be busy at all.

So, after she told the emperor about her difficulties, the emperor only asked her to be responsible for her and the concubine's clothes.

Liu Qingshao thought about it for a while and decided to design a set of heavy and luxurious dresses for them

After the death of the queen, the emperor felt ashamed of her, so he kept his position vacant.

Now, the harem is in power with the noble concubine Niangniang.

Most of the clothes worn by the emperor are mainly yellow, so Liu Qingshao directly set the main color.

The two outfits she designed were both bright yellow.

However, since the concubine is not the emperor's wife, there can be no phoenix on her clothes.

Liu Qingshao changed to other patterns, in order to make two sets of clothes, she spent a lot of thought, because the time is not enough, she has been sending people to watch the embroidery girl sew herself.

It will be the emperor's birthday banquet in a few days, and she still has a lot of things to prepare, Liu Qingshao can't wait to have more hands.

Xiao Hanyin has been very busy recently, and there is no way to help her at all.

However, this matter is very important, and Liu Qingshao does not dare to fake her hands to others, so she can only hold on to it.

Food and alcohol are the easiest to get your hands on.

So she directly taught the chef how to make dim sum.

The wine was taken out of the cellar by herself with the people in the palace.

During this period, the cellar was kept sealed, and no one touched the wine in the cellar since it was put into the Wengzhong.

Originally, these fruit wines were also to be sent to the palace for the nobles to enjoy.

However, because the emperor suddenly decided that she would prepare the food and wine for this birthday banquet, Liu Qingshao had to take out these fruit wines in advance.

Although it is not very long, it is better than ordinary wine.

Liu Qingshao methodically handled the things needed for the birthday banquet.

This time the emperor's birthday banquet was more grand and heavy than last year, and Liu Qingshao needed to provide a lot more things.

However, she has already given the recipe to the imperial chef, and she doesn't have to touch the food on the day of the birthday banquet.

In this way, Liu Qingshao was a lot easier, after all, those things needed to take too much risk.

Liu Qingshao didn't want the food at the birthday banquet to go wrong, and she would really be unable to speak clearly.

After Xiao Hanyin knew about this, he also strongly agreed.

Now, she already has the reputation of an imperial businessman, even if she gives the recipe to the imperial chef, the credit is still hers, and Liu Qingshao has no loss.

Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao, who have been busy with each other, are tired when they go back every day.

A few days later, the emperor's birthday arrived.

"Lord Xiao, I received news that at today's birthday banquet, it is likely that someone will assassinate the emperor, and I plan to stay by the emperor's side as a personal guard, what do you think?"

When Du Wenhai was about to start the birthday banquet, he suddenly found Xiao Hanyin.

"Where did you get the news?" Xiao Hanyin hadn't heard of this at all.

However, he and the crown prince also speculated that someone might sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor when there were many people.

Therefore, the matter of the birthday banquet has always been the responsibility of both of them to arrange manpower.

"I also didn't hear anyone mention it, although I don't know the truth of this matter, but I'd rather believe it than be negligent!" Du Wenhai did this for the sake of the emperor's safety.

After all, they had set everything up here, and if any Assassin did get involved, they would be held accountable.

Therefore, they have always taken this matter very seriously, and Xiao Hanyin didn't even close his eyes for two days and two nights, in order to be foolproof.

Du Wenhai had similar ideas to him, so they had been leading their subordinates to do it themselves, and they didn't dare to be careless.

"In that case, you disguise yourself as an ordinary guard and stand by Your Majesty's side!" Xiao Hanyin felt that his proposal was good.

Anyway, everything is like this, Du Wenhai's martial arts are not weak, and standing by the emperor's side can also make them feel at ease with each other.

After all, this matter was also requested by himself.

"Lord Xiao, I'll leave the rest to you!" Du Wenhai also knew that his proposal was a bit dangerous.

However, there are too many people who know Xiao Hanyin, and if he stands by the emperor's side, it will inevitably arouse everyone's vigilance.

He has been dealing with the affairs of the secret organization on weekdays, and only some important officials in the court know his identity.

When the time comes, if he dresses up in disguise, no one should recognize him......

Before the birthday banquet began, Xiao Hanyin secretly added a lot of guards and secret guards.

Xiao Hanyin didn't tell anyone about this matter, including Du Wenhai.

He felt that the fewer people knew about it, the more protection the emperor's safety would be.

"Qing Shao, if something happens later, don't panic, I will arrange for someone to send you away!" After Xiao Hanyin prepared everything, he immediately went to find Liu Qingshao.

He has been restless in the past few days, and he is especially worried that something will happen to Liu Qingshao.

Therefore, he still did not forget to find Liu Qingshao in his busy schedule and secretly revealed the news to her.

"Is there anything dangerous going to happen at today's birthday party?" She always felt that Xiao Hanyin's words revealed too much, and she didn't expect everything at all.
