Yesterday, after Baiming Mountain broke into the demon beast, the hunting meeting ended hastily, and the emperor was furious and ordered the guards to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

After most of the day's investigation, I didn't find any clues.

In order to give an explanation to the monks, the emperor removed the head of the guard and punished Ouyang Changkong, the organizer of the conference, for one year.

At the end of the hunt, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, inviting dignitaries and monks with famous names to the banquet together, originally with Meng Xingxue's current identity, and she did not have a brilliant performance in the hunting meeting, it should not be within the scope of the invitation, but she was invited, and the person who invited her was still the saint today.

When she entered the palace with doubts, everything was clear.

Look at Ouyang Qing's appearance of watching a good show, and then look at Wen Changbai, who has not been seen for a long time, with an angry look on his face, and Wen Ruyue's appearance of wanting to kill but unable to kill, and only daring to warn her with her eyes.

She understood.

It seems that this banquet is destined to be unpeaceful.

At the beginning of the banquet, she was arranged to sit in the middle position, Wen Ruyu and Wen Ruyue on the left and right sides respectively, as soon as she took her seat, Wen Ruyue on the right side whispered: "I warn you to wait for the Hui'an subsession, if you dare to let the Wen family lose people in public, my brother will not be able to protect you." ”

Listening to her painless threatening words, Meng Xingxue raised her eyebrows and said "Okay" with a chuckle.

The banquet began, the emperor entered, and everyone bowed in unison.

Although Meng Xingxue was reluctant to kneel to the emperor, he had to bend his knees, and after the ceremony, there were some summaries of the conference, politeness and greetings.

Meng Xingxue was not interested and too lazy to listen, and leisurely peeled shrimp.

To be honest, she likes to eat shrimp but doesn't like to peel shrimp, so she loses a lot of meat every time because of improper techniques.

"Ah Li, you eat."

Wen Ruyu on the left handed over a plate of peeled shrimp and shrimp meat. The grains are clearly arranged as a whole, and a layer of spicy soup is poured on top of it, which looks even more delicious.

Meng Xingxue smiled: "You eat by yourself, I have hands." As he spoke, he raised his hand stained with soup, and hung down embarrassedly.

The distance between the table and the table was not far, Wen Ruyu could touch her desktop as soon as he raised his hand, he pushed the plate of shrimp in front of Meng Xingxue, and smiled: "It's okay, I don't like to eat shrimp, you can give it to you if you like." ”

Wen Ruyue, who had been staring at the sidelines, was suddenly unhappy, and interjected: "Brother, don't you like to eat shrimp the most?" ”

"I don't like it now." He replied, his voice still gentle.

Wen Ruyue pouted dissatisfiedly, pierced the meat in front of her with chopsticks, and muttered: "I don't have this treatment, it's cheap for you dead corpse." ”

Her voice was very small, but Meng Xingxue still heard it clearly.

However, she didn't plan to worry about Wen Ruyue, after all, she was Wen Ruyu's own sister, and she didn't want to embarrass Wen Ruyu.

Just as she was eating with relish, the man on the high platform opened his mouth: "Which one is the little son of the Wen family, Wen Li?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Xingxue didn't react much, as if this person had nothing to do with her, until Wen Ruyu beside her reminded her, she suddenly reacted, the emperor was calling herself.

After wiping his mouth indiscriminately, he stood up, bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's me." ”

She refers to herself as 'me' and not 'grass people'. ’

This made Ouyang Qinghua grasp the handle, and immediately sneered: "It's really no one in your eyes, how dare you call yourself me in front of Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was not angry, and continued: "I heard Dean Ouyang say that Gongzi Wen's cultivation at a young age is unfathomable, and when I see Gongzi Wen today, he is indeed a powerful man, and his future life is terrifying. ”

Meng Xingxue said: "Your Majesty is falsely praised, but he is just the most ordinary person in the mortal world. ”

Although I don't know what the purpose of this emperor Lao'er invited her to come, he definitely didn't come to talk nonsense to her.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the emperor's tone became a little less enthusiastic, and he asked: "I have lived in the imperial city for a long time, and I know very little about the affairs of the world. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But... I heard that the head of the Wen family has only one younger brother, could it be that the son of Wen is... Wen Changqing's son? ”

I'm waiting for her here.

The emperor Lao'er, I haven't seen him for twelve years, and he still looks like he is scheming.

If Lao Tzu had already been known, you would still be able to deign to come to visit Lao Tzu.

.

Although she thought so in her heart, Meng Xingxue didn't say it, she smiled lightly and replied: "Your Majesty, I am indeed the son of Wen Changqing, but I was born in a catastrophe, and I have been raised by my family in the mountains to recuperate. ”

"I see." The emperor's tone was very calm, the smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, he thought about it and asked: "I don't know what disaster Gongzi Wen has suffered, he hasn't been good for so many years, why is it suddenly better this year?" But did you meet a noble man in the mountains? ”

Hearing this, Meng Xingxue sneered in her heart.

I'm afraid that the Ouyang family has already told the emperor the results of the investigation of her, and the Wen family has only one young master to the outside world, Wen Ruyu, how can he be gentle?

This emperor is scheming, and he has always been jealous of her strength in his previous life, it is estimated that Ouyang Changkong and Ouyang Qinghua have blown an evil wind in his ears, and he himself has thought a little nonsense, so he came to test it.

Wen Changbai, who had been sitting in the audience, listened to this back and forth conversation, and his palms were already sweating, originally their Wen family did not plan to participate in the hunting meeting, but who knew that the Ouyang family specially posted an invitation to the Wen family, and now that the Ouyang family is in full swing, how dare they refuse.

After thinking about it, he was invited to come, and although he missed the hunting meeting, he just happened to catch up with this palace banquet.

When he learned that Wen Li was also within the scope of the invitation, his heart suddenly cooled by half.

Not to mention that their Wen family is not in the scenery now, but the scenery is still there, and they haven't done anything brilliant as Wen Li, how could they be invited by the emperor in person?

It must have been because he had done a big rebellious thing in the past few days since he left home and provoked people who should not be provoked, so he was calculated.

Although Wen Li was a murderous corpse back then, they kept it strictly hidden, but it was difficult for people to keep it out.

If it is known that Wen Li is a natural murderous corpse, their Wen family will have no place to turn over.

Thinking of this, Wen Changbai's body couldn't help trembling slightly, and after thinking about it again and again, he stood up, and after finishing the salute, he said: "Your Majesty, Ah Li, this child is young, I'm afraid he can't remember these things, and the grass people have the courage to answer for him." ”

The Emperor nodded, raised his chin and gestured to him.

Wen Changbai said: "When my younger brother and sister were pregnant with Ah Li, they suffered from the wind cold, which affected Ah Li in the stomach, so he was born in a weak body, and the doctors said that he would die soon, and his younger brothers and sisters were anxious for Ah Li, and they were also sick for a while, and then they both went. The grass people couldn't bear to leave before the infant Ah Li didn't look at the world, so they sent him to the mountain courtyard to recuperate, maybe God had mercy, fourteen years have passed, Ah Li has miraculously healed, I think it must be Ah Li's parents in heaven to protect him. ”

What he said was touching.

told the suffering of Wen Changqing's family to tears, if Meng Xingxue didn't know the inside story, he would have been moved by this brotherhood and uncle-nephew friendship.

The emperor lowered his head slightly, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Ouyang Changkong on the right, the two of them looked at each other, and after a moment he said: "It's embarrassing, Wen Gongzi can be regarded as living up to the high hopes of Wen Changqing and his wife, and he will definitely rise to prominence in the future." ”

Wen Changbai's voice was slightly choked, and he replied: "It's a great luck that he can be safe." ”

When he said this, the emperor also believed it, and Wen Changbai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought that the topic was going to be changed, someone in the audience muttered: "I remember that Wen Li seems to be a natural murderous corpse." ”

This sentence, which is neither long nor short, dragged back the topic that was originally going to pass.

The people present exchanged their heads and whispered.

Meng Xingxue looked at the person who spoke, the person from the Imperial Beast Kingdom, as if he was still the entourage of the Imperial Court.

At this moment, he was really stared at by the sharp eyes of the imperial court, and he didn't say a word.

The royal court took a sip of wine, played with the wine glass, and said lightly: "The mouth of this king's subordinates is unobstructed, forgive me." ”

The emperor nodded in response, but turned his gaze to the man and asked, "This little brother, what you said is the truth?" ”

"This king said..."The royal court interrupted him, his tone cold without a trace of warmth, "He has no mouth, and what he says is not the truth. ”

The emperor's hand hidden in his sleeve was quietly clenched, and after a look of intertwined eyes, he was defeated, "That's it, forget it." ”

Regarding the maintenance of the imperial court, Meng Xingxue couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but found that the other party's eyes were also quietly watching her.

It seems that these two princes must know something.

Otherwise, this family would not know about it, why would one of his little retinues know.

However, since things did not deteriorate, she did not need to pursue it, and walked back to her seat to continue eating the plate of shrimp that had not been eaten clean.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, she didn't eat a few bites, and there was a noise one after another outside, and then a small soldier hurriedly ran over and said in a loud voice: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not good, there is a group of murderous corpses outside that have broken in." ”

"What?" The emperor got to his feet, and immediately ordered his soldiers to block the attack with all his might, and called in the guards to guard the gate.

Ouyang Changkong got up, hurriedly went out and rushed back after a while, and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic, these murderous corpses are the murderous corpses sealed by Weichen in the back mountain of Xingyun Academy, and somehow suddenly ran out." ”

When Meng Xingxue heard this, her eyes widened, and she didn't want to get up and prepare to go out, but as soon as she took a step, her wrist was grabbed, and when she looked back, Wen Ruyu squinted, her eyes were full of vigilance, and she shook her head at her.

At that moment, she was enlightened and stopped.

The imperial city is guarded layer by layer, if it weren't for the deliberate arrangement of someone with a heart, how could a group of murderous corpses who had been manipulated break into here.

She sat quietly, her eyes fixed on the doorway, her palms clenched unconsciously.

Today's people are all capable people, and if you want to get rid of the murderous corpse, it must be easy.

But she didn't want them to die, but if she made a move, not only would she not be able to tell the story, but she would also give someone a handle, and if she didn't do it, she would also affect the Wen family.

She didn't have any nostalgia for the Wen family, but after all, it was Wen Ruyu's relatives.

Just as she was thinking about how to solve it, something unexpected happened.
