Chapter 13: The General is on Top and I Are Down (13)
"General Yun, it's here." The carriage slowly stopped, and the father-in-law respectfully reminded him outside the carriage.
Yun Duan lifted the curtain on the carriage, only to see that the palace gate was wide open, and many luxurious carriages were also parked nearby, and officials from all walks of life stepped down from the carriages and were led into the palace by special personnel.
Her father-in-law was waiting for her with his eyebrows lowered beside him, "General Yun, please come with me." β
The young general was in high spirits, and as soon as Twilight got out of the car, she received everyone's attention, and they looked at her from a distance and whispered.
Yun Du ignored it, and followed her father-in-law straight into the palace gate, her steps were steady, unhurried, and her clothes were swinging behind her, making people feel pleasing to the eye when they looked at her.
At this time, the sky is getting dark, and it is almost dusk, and the warm and soft daylight paints the palace into warm colors, and two rows of bright lanterns hang in the hall where the night banquet is held, and the flickering firelight reflects a kind of lively lighting.
The father-in-law led Yun Du to her place and sat down, because she was the protagonist of the day, her seat was relatively forward, and she could easily see all parts of the hall.
People have basically arrived, although the emperor has not yet come, but most of them are sitting in danger, quiet and duty, as if they dare not make a mistake.
Sitting down was boring, and Twilight lowered her head slightly and reached out to grab the wine glass on the table.
Twilight didn't mean to drink, just put the glass between her fingers and swirled it. Her fingers are white and slender, with a girl's peculiar pale pink, and the wine in her hand reflects a bright streamer with a slight shake, which is particularly beautiful.
In the silence, System 001 coldly reminded: [Host, the wine glass is poisonous. γ
"Huh?" Hearing this, Twilight replied in confusion in her mind, and went directly to the glass of wine with her water ability, but did not find any toxins in the wine. Seeing this, she went to spy on the flask on the table, but found nothing.
System 001 spoke again: [Host, the poison is not in the wine, it is on the edge of the cup. The regent ordered the poison to be rubbed around the rim of the cup, and when he drank it, he would be poisoned. γ
Yun Du looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the rim of the cup was not quite right, and he couldn't imagine that the regent's idea was so gloomy. As soon as she put down the wine glass, she heard the eunuch's unique voice resounding in the hall: "The emperor has arrivedβ"
So Yun Du got up with the crowd, and bent down like them to shout: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." β
"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be polite." Ling Junxuan's voice was quite textured, low and a little magnetic, like cold water rippling slightly, revealing an indifferent alienation, "Let's have a feast." β
Yun Dusk sat down again with the others, and then raised his head to look at Ling Junxuan.
His eyebrows and eyes are cold, and the white clothes on his body are embroidered with intricate silver threads, flowing with a faint light under the fire in the hall, and the whole person looks like unmelted ice and snow on the top of the snow-capped mountain at first glance.
For some reason, Twilight suddenly remembered the image of him using his expressionless and indifferent face to increase his favorability on the street, and couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
Ling Junxuan's gaze passed coldly over Yun Dui's face, she lowered her head, revealing a straight nose bridge and a small chin, her lowered eyelashes fluttering gently with laughter, looking indistinguishable from male and female.
Ling Junxuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line, not quite understanding what Yun Duan was laughing at.
It was System 001 that prevented Twilight from continuing to laugh, it was anxious and angry: [Host, stop laughing! Now that many people in the hall have drunk, what should I do, don't you have to stop it? γ
