By the time Chang Yi's matter was brought out, it had been three days later, and his body had almost recovered by this time.

Although I can't dance a knife and a gun, I usually go out for a spin and there is no pressure. And on this day, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi received the news that the emperor was going to hold a banquet in the palace.

Shen Xi's brows furrowed slightly: "Does the emperor want to use this banquet to fight some unsightly things." ”

"It stands to reason that this banquet will be attended by officials above the fourth grade in the capital, and they will also have to bring their families." Lu Qingyi rubbed his chin.

Chang Yi on the side didn't look scared of anything, sitting on the bed and nibbling on an apple: "Why are you two so nervous, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what should be is what it is." ”

"You're saying it's simple, you just have to show your face today, so naturally you don't have to worry." Shen Xi rolled her eyes, if it weren't for Chang Yi's sake, she would have been able to give him a small slap.

Hearing this, Chang Yi scratched his head a little embarrassed and simply stopped talking. even glanced at Lu Qingyi with some sadness.

Shen Xi symbolically ignored Chang Yi's eyes, and looked at Lu Qingyi instead. At this time, Lu Qingyi was a little worried in his heart, not because of Chang Yi's matter.

He has been investigating the private soldiers in General He's hands for the past few days, but for some reason, that team seems to not exist, and he still hasn't frowned after investigating for so many days.

"Are you still thinking about those private soldiers?" Shen Xi knew what was going on in his heart just by looking at Lu Qingyi's expression.

Lu Qingyi nodded slightly, and a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind: "Today, all the officials above the fourth rank are going to attend the banquet, if they take advantage of this time to launch a rebellion, wouldn't it be very easy." ”

Shen Xi waved his hand slightly, still feeling that Lu Qingyi was a little worried: "There are only about 200 people in that team, and there are 2,000 people in the Imperial City Guards, to say the least. Do you think they have a chance of winning a fight between two hundred and two thousand? ”

"But if the Imperial City Praetorian Guard also rebelled, it would be two thousand two hundred people." Chang Yi took a bite of the apple, and the expression on his face was very innocent.

Shen Xi turned his head and glared at him, and said sharply, "You have a mouth, don't you?" ”

"Let's not talk about whose subordinate the Imperial City Praetorian Guard is, just mobilizing so many people requires three leaders to act at the same time. The time it takes will allow the garrisons outside the city to come in. Shen Xi was calculating the possibilities in his mind, and he was still a little worried, but he quickly dispelled the idea of being scared in his heart.

Lu Qingyi nodded: "The truth is the same, but no matter what, we still have to pay attention tonight." ”

The moon hung in the air, and today turned out to be a full moon night. Shen Xi poked his head out of the carriage, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Why did the emperor hold a banquet at night?" ”

In addition to their carriage on the road, you can also see several other carriages, and not far behind Shen Xi and them is Liu Congwen's carriage.

However, Shen Xi's eyes kept on the moon above his head, and he didn't notice it at the time. Lu Qingyi pulled Shen Xi back into the carriage: "The road is bumpy, don't stick your head out." I guess it should be the emperor who thinks that the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, which is suitable for killing! ”

"Can you not talk so intimidating, can't we be more elegant?" Shen Xi frowned, raised his hand and gently patted Lu Qingyi's body: "Why don't you say it because the scenery is good at night, and the emperor is considerate of everyone." "Sogou Library

"No matter how good the scenery is, the palace is depressing in the end." Lu Qingyi sighed, and while they were talking, the carriage had already driven to the gate of the palace.

Carriages are not allowed to pass in the palace, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi got out of the carriage, and several carriages had already stopped at the palace gate, and they didn't come early.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, the two walked side by side towards the palace. Suddenly, a call came from behind him: "Shen Xi, the two of you are waiting for us." ”

Shen Xi looked back and saw that Chang Qing was holding Liu Congwen's arm and running towards them, Liu Congwen kept saying, "Wait, you're not in good health yet, slow down." ”

Chang Qing stopped in front of Shen Xi and said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect to meet the two of you here, it's quite a coincidence." ”

"Are you getting better?" Shen Xi looked at Chang Qing in front of him, his face was ruddy, and his face was full of smiles. But when I think of the drug in Evergreen before, I am still a little afraid.

After that incident was over, Lu Qingyi could go and check the information. Evergreen is a poison unique to foreign lands, this poison is extremely powerful, and can form an illusion in people's hearts.

Although it is a fantasy, it is closely related to reality at the same time. It can make people confused about the relationship between reality and illusion, and thus lose themselves. If Changqing had been saved more slowly that day, she would probably not be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy for the rest of her life.

Chang Qing waved his hand: "You look at me like this, do you seem to have something?" I'm fine now. ”

Liu Congwen next to him arched his hand towards Shen Xi: "Don't listen to her say this, in fact, the whole person is still empty." ”

"Brother Liu, where have you been lately?" Lu Qingyi knew in his heart that Liu Congwen was sent by the emperor to deal with some things, but he didn't know what kind of matter it was.

To be honest, Lu Qingyi was a little suspicious that Liu Congwen was a colleague of him in the Glory Bureau. Shen Xi's eyes were also full of curiosity: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"You'll find out tonight." When Liu Congwen heard this, he sold Guan Zi, and his face was full of mysterious expressions.

Chang Qing raised his hand and patted Liu Congwen: "It's like this, what kind of mystery are you pretending, and you won't even tell me." ”

"But more than this, what I'm more curious about is why my father is holding a banquet today? It's not a festival, and there's nothing special......" Chang Qing sighed helplessly: "People still want to rest at home." ”

Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi glanced at each other, others didn't know why, could they still not know? Chang Yi did not go with the two, because the emperor had already arranged for his appearance.

The main hall of the banquet was brightly lit, and Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi hadn't even entered it, but they could see that it was densely packed with people. The melodious sound of silk and bamboo wafted out from the main hall, with a calming taste.

Unlike the last banquet, this banquet The emperor arrived early, and he sat in the center of the hall, his face full of smiles.

Lu Qingyi sat down on the side, and only listened to the emperor on the stage say: "Has Aiqing arrived?" ”
