The turbid dragon eyes swept through the crowd, and Emperor Xichu seemed to have returned to the moment when he was majestic and surrendered, and the fear and apprehension in his heart that were startled by Nalan Ye's troops besieging the city disappeared unconsciously.

In the heart of Emperor Western Chu, the most feared person was Nalan Ye, even far exceeding the threat of North Vietnam. Knowing that Nalan Ye had not left Xichu yet, and it was even possible that he was still on the outskirts of the city, or even hidden somewhere in the city, Emperor Xichu still came to attend Nangong Chen's wedding banquet. Even he didn't know why he was so bold, and he wasn't afraid of being attacked by Nalan Ye again, maybe it was really to completely solve that henchman's trouble.

"Are you all ready?" Emperor Xichu's eyes were deep, and he asked in a low voice.

"Back to my father's ......" Nangong Chen raised his head, his face full of confident smiles: "Everything is ready, just wait for my father and queen mother to come later." ”

This seemingly ordinary conversation did not attract anyone's attention, and everyone only thought that Emperor Xichu was asking Nangong Chen if he was ready for the wedding banquet for a while, and Nangong Chen replied that everything was ready for the wedding banquet.

But only the two parties know what they are asking and what they mean by answering.

Emperor Xichu hummed lightly, and the fear in his heart was a little less.

He personally came to attend Nangong Chen's concubine wedding banquet today, which is actually beyond the etiquette system, even if Nangong Chen is the prince and his biological son, according to the usual Emperor Xichu, he will not come. This is not only a manifestation of condescension and dignity, but too much favor means that there are some hints, which will make the ministers guess and figure out the emperor's intentions and make inappropriate moves. And...... When the emperor leaves the palace, there will definitely be an impact on security, and it is very likely that thieves will take advantage of it.

However, Emperor Xichu still came on the premise of knowing these possibilities.

Because he was not worried about Nalan Ye, he wanted to completely solve this hidden danger, and for this reason, Emperor Xichu was desperate. Although there was some danger, it was better than being in fear all day, and he desperately wanted to completely stifle the threat of Nalan Night, and from then on he would enjoy peace.

Because of this, after Nangong Chen presented this plan to Emperor Western Chu, he thought twice and agreed.

Take the initiative and lure the snake out of the hole!

This has to say that Emperor Xichu has gone crazy, according to his former caution and suspicion, it is absolutely impossible for him to put himself in danger. But now he had to do this, because Emperor Xichu knew that if Nalan Ye wanted to kill him, even if he hid in the palace, Nalan Ye would have a way to kill him.

In this case, it is better to make a desperate bet, use yourself as bait, lure Nalan Ye out, and then take the opportunity to capture and kill him.

Just now, Emperor Xichu asked Nangong Chen if he was ready, not asking about the wedding banquet at all, but asking if he had arranged the manpower properly. Nangong Chen's answer was naturally expected by Emperor Xichu, and Emperor Xichu was just waiting for Nalan Ye to throw himself into the net, and when the time came, in front of the ministers, he would see if Nalan Ye dared to resist.

At the beginning, when Nangong Chen told Emperor Xichu about this plan to eradicate Nalan Ye, Emperor Xichu didn't believe it at all, but Nangong Chen's words dispelled his concerns.

"Father, if you don't make a decision, Nalan Ye will really want to usurp the throne and seize your country. Father think about it, even if you are in the deep palace, Nalan Ye is not here when he wants to, he can leave if he wants, he even dares to threaten his father to let his father hand over the throne and pass the throne to the eldest brother, which shows that Nalan Ye and the eldest brother have long colluded and are bent on seizing your throne. ”

"If the father can appear at the wedding banquet, the son promises to prepare properly, and will never let the father be threatened in the slightest. The retainers will arrange for their henchmen to protect their father, even if Nalan has three heads and six arms, he can't get close to his father. ”

And in front of so many civil and military officials, Nalan Ye didn't dare to hurt his father at all, otherwise he would be scolded by the whole world, and he would not be able to wash away his infamy for a lifetime. Even if he takes the world, he can't sit still. ”

"Father, this is our best chance to eradicate Nalan Ye, the son is willing to risk his life and personally lead people to arrest Nalan Ye, but if my father is ruthless and takes this risk, the best opportunity will really be lost."

Yes, every sentence of Nangong Chen's words reached the heart of Emperor Xichu, and he only now saw that his most beloved eldest son had always conspired against Nalan Ye, and he had long coveted the throne. Even if he wants to let Nalan Ye go, will Nalan Ye let him go?

But for the sake of a woman, Nalan Ye betrayed him, how could he tolerate him!

Walking into the mansion of the five princes with lanterns and lanterns step by step, Emperor Xichu really saw that there were three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post everywhere, and his heart was really a little more relieved. With such strict protection, even if Nalan Ye's anti-minister thief comes, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Empress Wang was by the side of Emperor Xichu, and although she had a smile on her face, she was also highly vigilant in her heart.

She didn't know that Nangong Chen was going to rebel, and she didn't know Emperor Xichu's plan, but she got a secret report from someone with a heart in advance, and she knew that something would definitely happen at today's wedding banquet, and it was a big event. But she had to come, because if you didn't find out who was behind it, there was no way to know who was trying to murder them, and the queen looked all the way, only to feel that everyone she saw seemed to have a problem, but she didn't know who it was.

couldn't help it, she pinched the palace maid who was supporting her, and the latter quickly gave her a reassuring smile and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Niangniang, everything is with me, don't worry." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, although it was so soft, like a gust of wind, the queen was relieved for no reason. She was no longer worried, no longer afraid, and she didn't look around when she walked, as if as long as this palace maid was by her side, she was extremely relieved.

Yes, as long as Luo Qingluan is by her side, Queen Wang doesn't have anything to worry about.

That night, Nangong Yu suddenly brought a palace maid to see Queen Wang, she was surprised and happy, she thought that Luo Qingluan had been killed, but she didn't expect that she was still alive, how could Queen Wang be unhappy?

But when she heard Luo Qingluan say what she meant, she almost lost her face.

Queen Wang never imagined that someone at Nangong Chen's wedding banquet would do something to them, but fortunately, Luo Qingluan told Queen Wang that the other party was planning to poison her. Luo Qingluan is the best at medical skills, since she is here, then she will naturally protect her and His Majesty, so she is a little relieved.

However, Luo Qingluan did not let Queen Wang tell the news to Emperor Xichu.

The recent mental state of Emperor Xichu is indeed not suitable for knowing this, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it at all. Once he knew that someone was going to poison him, Emperor Xichu was only afraid that Long Yan would be furious on the spot and ordered a thorough investigation, how could he still have the heart to attend Nangong Chen's wedding banquet?

Therefore, Luo Qingluan let Queen Wang calm down, and everything was fine as usual.

Entering the main hall, Emperor Xichu and Empress Wang sat in the first place, and the ministers were arranged according to their official rank again, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, and then retreated to the side. When the Empress of Western Chu appeared, all the people who came to the wedding banquet all understood something, and their eyes were different when they looked at Nangong Chen.

The five princes marrying concubines can attract the emperor and queen to visit in person, isn't this a sign of attention? I'm afraid that the crown prince Nangong Qing's position is not guaranteed, and he will soon be replaced by the fifth prince, right? The ministers couldn't help but secretly look at Nangong Chen, and they all became more and more aware of it.

"Okay, let's continue when it's time to continue, don't delay the auspicious time." Emperor Xichu finally opened his mouth, but his face was expressionless, and he didn't look festive at all.

"Yes." Nangong Chen said respectfully.

With one look, the music of the whole day sounded in the mansion of the five princes, all kinds of gongs, drums, suona, and suona were deafening, and strings of firecrackers rang out all over the sky. The ministers respectfully retreated to the sides, and then the voice of Xi Po sounded outside the main hall: "The auspicious time has come, and the bride and groom have worshiped heaven and earth." ”

What appeared in everyone's eyes was Du Qianqian, who was the bride, dressed in a red phoenix crown, supported by two girls, one on the left and one on the right. With a red hijab on her head, she walked very slowly, Nangongchen stood at the door of the main hall, waiting for Du Qianqian to be sent over by the two girls, and then reached out to hold her.

As for Du Ji'an, although he, as the father of the bride, is still the head of a county, he is nothing at all among all the guests today. Even Nangong Chen just glanced at him and nodded, as if to say hello.

Du Ji'an cast a knowing look in the past, and didn't care about everyone's attitude.

Not only did he not care, but his heart became more and more excited, and he even felt that his heart was about to jump out. It will be a critical time soon, he and Nangong Chen have made an appointment to smash the cup, as long as Du Qianqian gives the cup of poisonous wine to Queen Wang to drink, Nangong Chen will drink the same poisonous wine to Emperor Xichu and smash the cup, he can do it.

has the same purpose as him, as well as Qiu Yuming, the commander of the forbidden army, which is also one of the most important help for Nangong Chen to win over. Now the entire Five Princes' Mansion has been guarded by Qiu Yuming and the forbidden army, and there will definitely be no chaos.

It won't be long before they will be one person under ten thousand people, and they will be truly from the dragon. When the time comes, these people who look down on him will flatter him and kneel at his feet......

Soon, the three kneeling and nine bows had been completed, and Emperor and Queen Wang of Western Chu seemed to be infected by this festive atmosphere, and the smiles on their faces were a little more.

Du Qianqian covered her head and couldn't see anything clearly, and when someone next to her handed her a glass of wine, her heart almost jumped out. "Fifth princess, it's time to toast." Then, someone handed her a white jade cup.

What the...... Toast?

Du Qianqian suddenly remembered something, her father said that at the wedding banquet, she would toast a cup of poisonous wine to Queen Wang, and the fifth prince would toast another cup of poisonous wine to Emperor Xichu. Once the emperor drank the poisoned wine, everything was under their control.

Her newlywed husband will become the next emperor of Western Chu from the status of a fifth prince, and her father will become the national ruler and the secretary of the military department, holding great power. And she Du Qianqian, that is, the queen of Western Chu.

Even if Du Qianqian panicked again, it would be too late, no need to look, everyone was staring at her. She could only force herself to calm down, holding the wine glass, stepping forward step by step according to the girl's support, raising the cup in her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen...... Respectfully, the queen ......"
