Xiao Qinglang didn't pay attention when he saw it, so he asked in a low voice in Xu Chu's ear, "What did you find?" ”

Xu Chu frowned, and after glancing at him silently, he nodded and whispered, "I suspect that this King Su is fake." ”

When Xiao Qinglang heard this, he didn't seem surprised, he only raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

When Xu Chu looked at his appearance, he knew that he probably also noticed that something was wrong, so his tense mood slowed down slightly.

"Normally, people have a vague timeline of trivial things they have experienced in the past, and the memory of the details in their memories is not as clear as the reason why their clothes are torn," she says. If he can accurately recall all the time points and details, it must be made up, so many of the words he said today must have been rehearsed many times before entering the palace. ”

So much so that all the words are flawless and flawless, so that people can't hear anything wrong at first glance. But it's because it's too perfect, it's more and more unreasonable.

For example, it is impossible for a person to remember what he was dressed when he recalled something from his childhood. What's more, King Su is talking about other people's things, and it was decades ago......

This theory is very common in detective science, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Chu had a guess at the first time. I'm afraid this person is just a puppet.

That man was able to let the king of Duansu do nothing, and hide in the shadows. This seems to be quite different from his temperament.

Xiao Qinglang saw Xu Chu's solemn expression, so he said with a straight face: "Even though he is not enjoying the glory and wealth in the Su Palace, he almost shakes the stability of the Great Zhou court in the dark. Xiao Chu felt that according to his arrogant and conceited temperament, compared to simple enjoyment, would this be enough to make him feel pleasure? ”

When Xu Chu heard him say this, it was clear in an instant. If this is the case, then it actually echoes that person's character, not to mention that if he inherits the throne of King Su, he will not be allowed to return to Beijing or even leave the fiefdom at will. But what that man wants to do is to be in power as he pleases......

In the Laneige Palace, the fragrance is thick at this time, and as soon as everyone enters it, they feel the warmth coming to their faces, and people can't help but sigh comfortably.

The royal banquet, even if it is just a reception banquet, is mostly a song and dance of the warbler. In the splendid Zhilan Palace, the lights are bright, the wine and the beautiful women, the drum music, and the queen mother and the emperor are in a good mood at this time, and they have enjoyed many singers and dancers one after another, which makes the interest of everyone in the store gradually rise.

Even Xiao Qinglang, who is self-contained and calm, and has never liked the things in the cup, was persuaded by the Queen Mother and the Emperor to drink a few glasses of imperial wine. And Xu Chu was also persuaded by the queen to taste the wine paid tribute by Northern Xinjiang.

In the midst of the excitement, only the Queen Mother and Mama Song had complicated expressions. I don't know how long it took, the Queen Mother looked at the empty cup in her hand, sighed lightly, glanced back at Mama Song, and nodded secretly.

Seeing this, Mama Song nodded slightly, and then quietly retreated.

The emperor obviously noticed this, raised his hand to clip a spoonful of magnolia vegetables for the queen mother, and asked in a low voice: "The queen mother's face is a little bad, but she is not feeling well?" ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "It's just that people are old and feel a little tired, and it's not in the way." After a pause, she said again, "Xuanzhi drank a lot tonight, the emperor should not go too far, beware that he will be uncomfortable tomorrow if he is drunk." He can't be like you and the second child, although he has a lovely person now, but after all, he has never been married, and there is no one around to take care of him. ”

The emperor was dumbfounded for a moment, and chuckled: "I know that the queen mother is the most distressed about the third child, compared to Mama Song, she has already ordered someone to prepare a sobering soup." ”

When the queen mother saw his appearance, she couldn't help sighing and said: "You have the queen distressed, and the third child is not allowed to have a queen mother?" ”

The two said a few more words, and saw Mama Song quietly returning. In just a moment, a palace maid dressed in a green palace dress also came from behind the screen with a wooden plate. She sent the decanting soup in her hand to Xiao Qinglang, and said in a low voice: "Lord, this is the decanting soup specially ordered by the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Qinglang raised his head just when the Queen Mother was bowing to him, and the emperor on the other side also raised his eyebrows at him, and raised the teacup in his hand that had also been replaced with sobering soup.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Qinglang's heartstrings, which had been cautious, also relaxed, he slightly hooked his lips and took the white porcelain cup, and after a little rubbing, his fingers swirled and drank the decanting soup.

The singing and dancing in the hall had changed many times, and at this time, the sound of the pipa music as crisp as jade beads fell, and the store suddenly darkened. Then, I saw two rows of dancing girls dressed in lotus-colored clothes slowly walking outside the hall, and the dancing girls were holding lotus glass lamps, and the flickering light and darkness added a bit of fairy spirit and gentle and mysterious atmosphere.

Xiao Qinglang lightly tapped the table in front of him, squinting at the pleasing song and dance, looking unintoxicated.

Obviously, Xu Chu also saw him so calm and self-controlled, knowing that he was not drunk, and his heart was a little more stable.

The banquet of the ancients, especially the family banquet held by the emperor, she really didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only watch it calmly. If it was in her previous life, she could still use her fiancée's identity to block the wine for him, or persuade almost, but at this time, the situation is different, the identity is different, even if she has the heart, she can't trespass. After all, the emperor's wine is not something she can refuse politely.

This is probably the reason why Xiao Qinglang has always disliked to participate in palace banquets, because he couldn't refuse, so he simply didn't attend under the pretext of investigating the case, and he could be more or less comfortable and quiet.

Just halfway through the feast, suddenly there was a sound of ping-pong, followed by a gasp and a series of accusations.

When everyone looked up, they saw a palace man who was serving food kneeling in front of Xiao Qinglang and kowtowing repeatedly, and Xiao Qinglang, who has always been beautiful and jade-faced, was covered with oil stains on his robe at this time, and his appearance was quite miserable. Don't think about it, it must have been the palace people who missed just now and sprinkled the dishes on Xiao Qinglang.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at the palace people who kowtowed and begged for mercy meaninglessly, and after a moment of silence, he did not look at the palace people on the ground, but got up and said to the queen mother and the emperor: "Your Majesty, please allow the younger brother to leave the table for the time being." ”

This matter was not his fault in the first place, and no one expected the palace people to miss, so the emperor naturally had no displeasure. If there is, it just thinks that the palace people should go to a different place, after all, the palace people who can serve in the Lanzhi Palace also represent the face of the royal family to a certain extent, and now she makes such a mistake in front of King Su and deserves to be punished.

There is a side hall on one side of the Laneige hall, and there are bedrooms on both sides of the side hall, which has been prepared for emergencies. First, there are occasional royal relatives who are drunk at the banquet and need to rest, and secondly, it is also for the queen to summon the official eunuchs and relatives to talk.

Therefore, even if he goes to change the wash, Xiao Qinglang does not need to go to the side.

Seeing Xiao Qinglang's pale face, the Queen Mother couldn't help but stop talking, but in the end, after seeing King Su's jealous gaze towards him, she waved her hand helplessly and said, "Mama Song, you go and find a set of Xuanzhi's regular clothes." ”

Mama Song bowed down, and then left in a hurry.

The Queen Mother's palace has always been the regular clothes of the two princes, and this place is the closest to the Queen Mother's palace, so her order did not arouse any suspicion from others.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at Xu Chu deeply, faintly as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he was hidden under the indifferent eyes.

At this time, there was no need for him to say more, Xu Chu was already keenly aware that maybe today's banquet was a conspiracy. It's just that she didn't figure out what the conspiracy was, but after seeing Xiao Qinglang's reassuring eyes, she still bit her lip and swallowed the words that she wanted to leave the table at the same time.

At this time, the most sensible thing is that the two of them can't fall into the trap at the same time. If tonight's banquet was really aimed at them, or if it was set up by the people behind the scenes to prevent them from continuing their investigation, then the two of them might fall into the trap at the same time if they left together.

The safest way is to separate, even if someone is framed, there is always someone who can clear the other party's grievances outside the trap.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu could only suppress the worry and inexplicable panic in his heart, and forced himself to smile and continue to talk to Xiao Mingzhu. Only this time, her appearance became more and more absent-minded.

After a long time, everyone didn't see Mama Song returning, nor did they see Xiao Qinglang's figure. During this period, the emperor also sent people to the side hall to look for him, but the palace people who sent out said that they only saw the dirty clothes that the prince had changed, but they did not see where he was.

At the beginning, the emperor only thought that he was not suitable for the staggered wine in the palace, so he seemed to blame but said helplessly: "Xuanzhi has never drunk, but I am afraid that he should be a little drunk at this time." ”

As soon as he said this, the King of Qi on the side and the Princess of Qi looked at each other silently, and coughed dryly and echoed against his will.

They are people who have seen their third brother's drunken appearance with their own eyes, and their affectionate and poisonous appearance can simply peel off a layer of skin from those who despise Xu Chu. and the appearance of the grievance complaint, which is simply eye-catching. To say that his departure with such a clear expression just now was drunk, that would be a big joke in the world.

But if you know, they will never tear down the emperor's platform at this time.

Let's say that Xiao Qinglang's box, when he had just changed his clothes and went out in the side hall, he was suddenly bumped into his arms by a palace maid. The palace maid trembled with fright and hurriedly confessed.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes were dark and dim after several changes, and finally fell silent, and then, his fingertips twisted slightly, and he waved his hand to let the palace maid leave first. It's just that when the palace maid left in a hurry, the corners of his mouth almost invisibly hooked up a mocking smile.

After the figure of the palace maid disappeared into the darkness, he stood in place with his hands in his hands, looking inexplicably silent.

Really...... It's ridiculously ......

After Xiao Qinglang sneered, he looked at the piece of paper that was crumpled in his palm meaninglessly, and he didn't think much about it and directly flicked the paper ball into the grass on the side.

Back then, the reason why he promised that person was just for the sake of his mother's concubine. Now, he already has Xiao Chu by his side, no matter what kind of inside story that person knows, he can't shake his heart anymore.

He will inevitably find out about those inside information in the future. However, if he entered that person's wish tonight, maybe this matter would become a knot in Xiao Chu's heart. Even if Xiao Chu could understand him, he didn't dare to take the slightest risk of making her sad, even if it was possible.
