In the afternoon poetry recital, Meng Guxue performed "stablely" as always. Today, she really firmly established her reputation as the most talented woman.

Baili Chengyou looked at Meng Guxue without any scruples at the poetry meeting. Anyone could see that he was really interested.

So after the poetry meeting ended that day, word spread in Beijing circles that Baili Chengyou fell in love with Meng Guxue at first sight at the poetry meeting.

The candidate for this marriage must be Meng Guxue!

When Mrs. Meng learned the news, she was so frightened that she almost fainted!

As soon as Meng Guxue returned home, Mrs. Meng quickly grabbed her and said with a white face:

"Xue'er, what happened at the poetry meeting today? Mother told you not to go, but you insist on going!"

Meng Guxue had already made a decision in her heart. Seeing Mrs. Meng who really loved her since time travel, she couldn't help but feel a little softer.

Poor Mrs. Meng, how did she know that her daughter had already died from the high fever.

She took over the body of "Meng Guxue" and made Mrs. Meng worry about it for more than a year, and she felt really guilty.

There is nothing she can do in return for Mrs. Meng. If she agrees to a marriage tomorrow, Emperor Yong will naturally promote the Meng family and treat it as giving the Meng family a fortune.

From now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road. I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other again for the rest of my life...

"Mom, don't listen to their nonsense."

No matter how many thoughts were surging in his heart, Meng Guxue remained calm and held Mrs. Meng's arm affectionately.

Mrs. Meng was full of doubts, "The rumors have already made a big fuss, can they still be groundless?"

Meng Guxue smiled and nodded, "Mom, of course it's fake!"

"There are so many legitimate daughters from high families in the capital, so their mere talents mean nothing. Then why does the third prince like me -"

At this point, Meng Guxue's expression froze slightly, and she suddenly froze on the spot.

Mrs. Meng was shocked when she saw Meng Guxue's face suddenly turn pale.

"Xue'er, what happened suddenly?"

Meng Guxue's heart skipped a beat. A suspicion suddenly took root in her heart and began to grow wildly!

"Mom, I'm really tired today and want to go back and rest first."

Meng Guxue forced out a smile and said warmly.

Mrs. Meng was worried, but seeing that Meng Guxue was indeed not feeling well, she could only send her back to her room worriedly.

"Xiao Tao, take good care of Miss."

Xiaotao was busy and agreed.

After Mrs. Meng left, Meng Guxue threw herself on the bed, her heart already in chaos.

During the day, she was beguiled by Baili Chengyou's tenderness, but now it seems that his words are still full of loopholes!

She also had a dream. In the dream, she and the second prince were so deeply in love.

But after waking up from the dream, although she had a special affection for the second prince, she was not so affectionate that she had to be with him.

If she is like this, wouldn't Baili Chengyou, who can become the king of a country, be more sober than her...

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue suddenly felt cold all over!

If Baili Chengyou really had a dream, then he should also know that she has modern knowledge in her mind and she can help him.

Use, it's all use...

Meng Guxue tightly clenched the quilt under her body. At this moment, she was sober as never before!

Xiaotao was frightened by Meng Guxue's behavior. Wasn't the lady still very happy during the day?

"Miss? You...what's wrong with you?"

Meng Guxue buried her face in the quilt and shook her head gently after a while.

"Xiao Tao, prepare some water, I want to take a bath."

She had to think carefully about where to go tomorrow!

————

Zongren Mansion.

Zhufeng was reporting everything that happened at the poetry meeting today to the second prince.

When Zhufeng mentioned the difference between Baili Chengyou and Meng Guxue, there was annoyance in Zhufeng's words.

He helped His Highness get the things from Meng Guxue, so he always acquiesced that Meng Guxue belonged to His Highness.

But at today's poetry meeting, whether it was Baili Chengyou's earnestness or Meng Guxue's private meeting with Baili Chengyou, he felt that Meng Guxue seemed to be out of His Highness's control!

"Did they meet in private?"

The second prince sat behind the case, his tone calm.

Zhufeng nodded quickly, "The subordinates followed outside Taolin. Before they could enter, Prince Baili's five followers stared at Taolin to death."

"Prince Baili came later and also entered the peach forest. The two of them were alone inside for more than a quarter of an hour."

"The subordinates stayed in the distance and watched Prince Baili come out, followed by Miss Meng, with an obvious smile on her face."

When the second prince heard this, his eyes fell on the poetry collection beside the desk, his eyes filled with deep thought.

He had always been certain that Meng Guxue had a secret.

Whether it's the wonderful poems in different styles that she picked up casually, or the three recipes she mastered.

Perhaps, this is just the tip of the iceberg that he knows, and there are other surprises in Meng Guxue that have not been discovered.

If he hadn't been suddenly banned for a year, those three formulas... he would have pried them out of Meng Guxue's mouth.

He could see that Meng Guxue was ambitious.

So, just because of his silence this year, Meng Guxue climbed up and down, and shifted her target to Baili Chengyou, right...

Thinking of this, the second prince twitched his lips coolly.

What surprised him the most was Baili Chengyou's attitude.

Why was he suddenly interested in Meng Guxue? Or is it that he also keenly captured the specialness of Meng Guxue?

However, Baili Chengyou is just a new arrival, and Meng Guxue has not written many poems in front of others, so it is not enough to arouse suspicion, right?

And according to what Zhufeng said, Baili Chengyou showed great enthusiasm when he first met Meng Guxue at the poetry meeting.

After Baili Chengyou came to Yong Dynasty, everything he did was really weird.

The second prince tapped the long case over and over again and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Interesting, so interesting...

In any case, it is obvious that Baili Chengyou wants to get Meng Guxue.

There was no way he would let Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou leave.

After all, he hasn't gotten the three formulas yet, and he hasn't figured out all the secrets about Meng Guxue yet...

"Zhufeng, I already know this. Are you ready for everything else?"

When Zhufeng heard this, his expression immediately became solemn.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, everything is ready, just waiting for the banquet tomorrow!"

The second prince heard this and nodded slightly.

The next moment, he slowly stood up and walked to the window.

The cold moonlight enveloped him, and looking at his back, he still looked like a young man.

Seeing this, Zhufeng wanted to step forward and put a cloak on the second prince, but he refused.

"Your Highness, it's cold at night, so you should take care of yourself."

The second prince shook his head, not paying much attention.

After a while, he suddenly said calmly:

"Zhufeng, the moon and stars are sparse tonight, it looks like the weather will be good tomorrow."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen my father for a long time."

The next day, Emperor Yong's 35th Christmas, the whole country rejoiced.

Zichen Palace.

Emperor Yong sits on the dragon throne, wearing a majestic yellow robe. He is unparalleled and unparalleled in the world.

Looking up, the ministers stood solemnly and the lights were on.

Mao Shizhong.

When the rising sun began to rise and its light poured down upon the earth, the sound of praises and cheers came from the Zichen Palace and resounded through the palace gates.

"kneel--"

All civil and military officials, imperial guards, palace servants and servants all knelt on their knees, touched their foreheads to the ground, and performed thirty-three salutes.

After the ceremony, the prince went to the palace on behalf of the ministers and held a glass of wine to wish Emperor Yong longevity.

Emperor Yong took the wine glass in the morning sun, looked down, and saw the ministers bowing their heads respectfully. He couldn't help but feel a supreme feeling that all the people in the country were in his hands, and his face was filled with joy.

He waved his right hand gently, and praises and cheers immediately spread out:

"Given——"

Emperor Yong gave tea soup to all officials.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

At this point, the morning prayers officially ended.

After the ceremony, all the officials greeted each other and left the palace. Only when they got on the carriage did they dare to show their fatigue.

For this morning's prayer, they got up in the middle of the night.

The Wanshou Palace banquet will not start until the beginning of the Youshi period (5 p.m.), and all the courtiers are eager to go back and catch up on their sleep.

After all, tonight's palace banquet is another tough battle, and they must recharge their batteries!

As for the officials' homes, the ladies and ladies also started preparations early.

Qiao Jiaojiao sat on the couch, watching her mother and sister-in-law busy, her thoughts already far away.

[Tsk, after thinking about it, my sister-in-law most likely fell into the trap at the palace banquet. 】

[I have been to the Qingzhuyuan several times, and it is so well maintained by my elder brother that not even a fly can fly in! 】

[It seems that besides watching the fun tonight, I also have to protect my sister-in-law! 】

[Wait a minute, let me visit the Merit Mall again. 】

Qiao Jiaojiao called out the merit panel, and the merit in the upper right corner suddenly turned into an astonishing 220 points.

This time Qiao Jiaojiao had some clues. In addition to the merit point of rescuing cousin An Ning and returning, there should also be the merit point of repairing and expanding the almshouse.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao felt that the old King of Hell was really reasonable.

After all, it was her parents who contributed to the expansion of the almshouse, and she actually took advantage of it.

[If you have enough merit points, you can adapt to the situation at the palace banquet. This will make you feel more at ease. 】

Just as Qiao Jiaojiao thought of this, she saw her father and eldest brother coming in together.

She arched her eyebrows and shouted excitedly: "Dad! Brother! You're back!"

Qiao Zhongguo picked up Qiao Jiaojiao with a doting look on his face, "Is Jiaojiao good at home?"

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded matter-of-factly, "Be good! You're the best!"

After lunch, the family rested separately. By the time Shenshichu (3 p.m.), they packed up their belongings without stopping and got on the carriage to go to the palace.

Qiao Tianjing had already left early because he had been ordered to continue entertaining the envoys today.

As for Qiao Diyi, everyone is celebrating today and the capital is bustling with excitement. In order to avoid chaos during the Lantern Festival, his military camp has been deployed to cooperate with Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets. He can't even go to the palace banquet.

This time, the Wanshou Palace banquet was arranged at the Huacalyx Xianghui Building.

At the gate of the palace, everyone has to get off the car and walk.

Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Zhongguo's arms, looking at the colorful lantern shed, she was very excited!

On the way to the calyx building, the sound of silk and bamboo continued in the ears, everyone was chatting, and everyone had a smile on their face.

[Woo woo woo, this is the scene of the prosperous age in my mind, it is so beautiful! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't get enough of her eyes.

Even though the world she lived in was already extremely prosperous, she still couldn't help being shocked and even bursting into tears when faced with such a profound and ancient scenery.

Qiao Zhongguo looked gentle and walked into the brightly lit room with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

The main hall of the Calyx Building has a huge space, and long tables have been prepared in it, as well as a full range of melons and fruits.

As soon as the Qiao family entered the palace, someone from the palace immediately came forward and led them to their seats.

Qiao Zhongguo is still treated as a first-class minister, and his position is very high.

After Qiao Tianjing got married, he could no longer follow Qiao Zhongguo.

So Hanya Xian was led to a position at the back, surrounded by officials of the same rank as Qiao Tianjing and their families.

Qiao Jiaojiao sat in Mrs. Qiao's arms, looking around intently, and finally saw the location of the Meng family.

But at this time, only Mrs. Meng was sitting behind the long case. Master Meng was chatting with his colleagues, but Meng Guxue was nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Jiaojiao frowned slightly. If Meng Guxue was not here tonight, the play would not be sung.

Just as Qiao Jiaojiao thought of this, she saw Meng Guxue coming in from outside the hall with her head lowered.

She was wearing a light purple dress today. Although it was not eye-catching, she still looked dignified like a lady from the capital.

As soon as Meng Guxue sat down, Mrs. Meng frowned and said, "Drink less tea later, so as not to have to change clothes again."

Meng Guxue nodded obediently, but her hands were tightly clenched under her sleeves.

She didn't go to change clothes just now.

A palace servant secretly thrust a small note into her hand while she was pouring tea.

The palace man whispered: "Miss Meng, the second prince has something to tell you."

Her heart skipped a beat, and her first feeling was that the second prince knew what happened at the poetry meeting yesterday.

Baili Chengyou was so high-profile yesterday, it was impossible for the second prince not to know about it.

What would the second prince say to her? Does he know that Baili Chengyou will propose marriage to Emperor Yong tonight?

Meng Guxue was already a little undecided, and this note disturbed her heart even more.

She was really curious, so she went out to check the note while changing clothes.

After finding a deserted place, she secretly opened the note, and Junxiu's words came into view.

——Miss Meng, my heart is still the same.

Thinking back on these words now, Meng Guxue still couldn't help but feel her heart tremble.

She and the second prince actually met once during the last Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, in the Yuhua Garden.

She has thought about that meeting many times late at night, and she still clearly remembers the look on the second prince's face.

She was originally addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself. She felt that the second prince also had feelings for her.

However, when Baili Chengyou's choice came up, she suddenly became much clearer.

She analyzed the meeting in detail, and finally discovered to her surprise that it seemed that what the second prince wanted was just her poetry...

When her thoughts came to this point, Meng Guxue's heart, which was once again eager because of the note, became cold again.

Two men, two choices, two completely different futures.

Is any of them sincere to her?

Qiao Jiaojiao saw Meng Guxue's worried expression in her eyes and couldn't help but murmured:

[The second prince will definitely show up tonight. Even if he understands Meng Guxue's value a little bit, he will definitely not let go easily. 】

[The Shura Field is really coming! According to the established trajectory, Meng Guxue will choose the second prince without hesitation. 】

[But today, everything has changed. Who will Meng Guxue choose? 】

[Wait a minute, if she doesn't choose anyone, it's not impossible for the heroine to awaken. Then I'll be impressed by her! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was just beginning to speculate, when suddenly an extremely fishy smell penetrated her nose.

Qiao Jiaojiao frowned suddenly and immediately covered her nose and said, "It stinks! Mom, it stinks!"

"Smelly?"

Mrs. Qiao sniffed with confusion, but she could only smell the aroma of fruits and wine.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Where does it stink?"

Mrs. Qiao bent down and asked with concern on her face.

Qiao Jiao frowned tightly, looked at Mrs. Qiao and asked, "Mom, doesn't it stink?"

Mrs. Qiao shook her head, "Jiaojiao, mother didn't smell it."

Qiao Jiaojiao looked around with confusion, then got off Mrs. Qiao and sniffed while resisting the stench.

"That's right, Stinky!"

[Go, what does this smell like! Are there sewers in the palace? 】

[Wait a minute, let me smell it and see where this smell comes from! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao turned around in a circle, finally locked in one direction, and stepped towards that direction.

She can now walk steadily.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao quickly got up and followed.

Although Qiao Zhongguo was chatting with his colleagues, his attention was always on his wife and children.

Now seeing Qiao Jiaojiao walking out, she spoke to the person next to her and quickly chased after her.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Qiao Zhongguo caught up with Mrs. Qiao and asked with concern.

Mrs. Qiao followed Qiao Jiaojiao with her eyes and lowered her voice and said, "Jiaojiao suddenly said she smelled a bad smell."

Qiao Zhongguo also sniffed subconsciously, but found nothing.

But the next moment, he suddenly reacted.

Smelly?

The last time Jiaojiao said something smelly was when she smelled the secret medicine of bliss.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo immediately raised his heart!

Qiao Jiaojiao followed the disgusting smell and walked straight until she stood in front of the source of the stink.

"Little sister? Father? Mother?"

Hanya Xian was sitting behind the case, holding hands and chatting with Xiao Qianyue.

Seeing Qiao Zhongguo and the others suddenly approaching, she was startled and stood up hurriedly.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qianyue stood up with a confused look on her face, and after she came to her senses, she quickly saluted Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao was worried about attracting other people's attention, so she quickly said with a smile: "Xian'er, Miss Xiao, it's okay, it's just Jiaojiao who can't sit still and wants to get up and walk around."

Xiao Qianyue didn't suspect anything after hearing this, but since Qiao Zhongguo was also there, she couldn't stay any longer, so she bowed and returned to her seat.

Hanya Xian didn't think things were that simple.

However, she didn't dare to show anything strange, she just stepped forward and held Mrs. Qiao's hand, talking as if nothing had happened.

Mrs. Qiao knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was very transparent, so she secretly squeezed her hand.

Qiao Jiaojiao stood in front of the case, looking at the fruits and snacks on the case one by one, and finally focused on the cup of tea.

Her heart suddenly pounded, and she was afraid that there would be the second prince's eyes around her, so she didn't dare to be too obvious, so she took a long breath calmly.

This sucking was so bad that it almost made Qiao Jiaojiao faint!

[Oh my god, it's killing me! Found it, it's this cup of tea! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao quickly tugged at Qiao Zhongguo's hem.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo bent down and picked her up. Qiao Jiaojiao pretended to be innocent and lowered her voice and said:

"Smelly! Dad, the tea is stinky!"

[Dad, you must believe what I say! There must be something wrong with this cup of tea! 】

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he was extremely horrified!

In the last incident involving the eldest princess, Qiao Zhongguo had vaguely guessed that Jiaojiao might have been favored by God and blessed with merits, so the poisons and poisons in Jiaojiao's place would emit an unbearable stench.

In this way, Jiaojiao will not be harmed by these drugs.

If the facts are as he guessed, then the cup of tea in front of the eldest daughter-in-law is poisonous!

Thinking back to Jiaojiao's prediction that the eldest daughter-in-law would be infertile for the rest of her life due to poisoning and live in sorrow, Qiao Zhongguo's anger surged with murderous intent in his chest!

Someone really wants to kill their Qiao family and exterminate their descendants. Their intentions are sinister and outrageous!

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately became worried about Hanya Xian's safety and reached out to hug her.

[Sister-in-law, didn't you drink that cup of tea? If you drink it, I will use Gongde Mall to detoxify my sister-in-law now! 】

"Sister-in-law, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink?" Qiao Jiaojiao asked quickly.

Han Yaxian took Qiao Jiaojiao from Qiao Zhongguo's arms. When she heard this, she vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with the cup of tea, and she was suddenly shocked and horrified!

Fortunately, she had known that she might be poisoned, so she had planned to eat or drink nothing during the palace banquet.

She didn't dare to take this risk.

So, she pretended to be relaxed and tapped Qiao Jiaojiao's little nose, and said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law drank tea before going out. She is not thirsty at all. Is my little sister thirsty?"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shook her head.

She doesn't drink sewer water!

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo suddenly leaned over slightly, smelled it carefully, and then frowned, "It really stinks!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes immediately lit up, "Right, right?"

[Great, dad can smell it too! Dad, there is definitely something wrong with this tea! 】

Qiao Zhongguo straightened up, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Eldest daughter-in-law, who poured you this tea?"

Hanya Xian glanced around, and suddenly came across a slightly delicate face, and the palace maid was also looking here with wide eyes!

Noticing Hanya Xian's gaze, the palace maid's expression suddenly changed, and she actually turned around and ran towards the side door!

Upon seeing this, Hanya hurriedly shouted: "It's her!"

Qiao Zhongguo was furious and chased him out. Because the movement was too big, everyone looked over.

Qiao Zhongguo no longer cared about losing his etiquette. His martial arts skills were so high. The palace maid had just run out of the side door when Qiao Zhongguo reached out and grabbed her by the collar!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the palace maid's whole body went limp as if she had lost all her strength.

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed slightly, and as soon as he loosened his grip, the palace maid fell to the ground with a thud, and blood immediately overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Hongda and Han Mingzhe hurried over to check, and Xiao Hongda squatted down directly.

He pinched open the palace maid's mouth and saw blood dripping from her mouth.

"I hid the medicine in my mouth in advance, so I'm out of breath!" Xiao Hongda shook his head and said coldly.

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes were heavy, and he suddenly thought of something at the next moment, and quickly pushed aside the crowd and returned to the palace.

Qiao Jiaojiao noticed Qiao Zhongguo's gaze, turned around and saw a palace maid reaching for the cup of poisonous tea!

【Destroy evidence! This palace maid wants to destroy the evidence! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao opened her mouth slightly, almost shouting "stop" when a pendant jade flew towards her and hit the palace maid directly between her eyebrows!

"ah--"

The palace maid screamed miserably and fell to the ground covering her head.

When everyone saw this, they all let out low voices and instinctively looked towards the place where the hidden weapon came from.

Under the bright lights, Qiao Zhongguo's eyebrows were heavy, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he was indescribably majestic!

The next moment, he stepped towards his wife and daughter, his skirts flying, and everyone gave in wherever he passed.

"Well!"

The palace maid just screamed, and then lost her breath. She went to death with a decisiveness that was comparable to that of a dead soldier!

Qiao Zhongguo walked to the case in a few steps, quickly picked up the cup of poisonous tea, and then stood in front of his family, covering up the bloody scene for them.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't bear to see such a scene, so she simply stared at the cup of poisonous tea and thought to herself:

[Since the other party wants to destroy the evidence, it means that the source of this tea... should be found out! 】

Chapter 194 Who is the poisoner?

Things happened so fast, two lives were lost in the blink of an eye!

The hall was silent for a long time, and suddenly a timid lady from the boudoir couldn't help but scream, and the people in the hall were in shock.

There are very few fools who can serve as officials in the court. One look at the scene in front of them, and they knew that this was a conspiracy against the Qiao family.

If they guessed correctly, the key lies in the cup of tea in Qiao Zhongguo's hand!

This tea is related to the case of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, so what the thief wants is...

"Xian'er!"

Han Mingzhe stepped forward with fear on his face, and Mrs. Han turned pale with tears in her eyes.

Hanya Xian took a deep breath and secretly hugged Qiao Jiaojiao in her arms.

Today is the Wanshou Palace banquet, and as usual there should be no blood. Now that something like this has happened, the Qiao family and her identity as the victim must be determined as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if someone with intentions makes a fuss in advance and labels it as disrespectful, the Qiao family will definitely be punished!

Thinking of this, she immediately threw herself into Mrs. Han's arms with a weak and frightened look on her face, and whispered in a trembling voice:

"Mom, someone wants to harm Xian'er!"

"This... this is the Holy Wanshou Palace Banquet. How could anyone dare to do such a thing!"

"Mom, Xian'er is so scared! This thief doesn't even look down on the Holy One. How audacious is this!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was still pretending to be ignorant just now, but now she saw that her sister-in-law was acting up, so she quickly cooperated.

But today, Wanshou Day, she couldn't really cry, so she pursed her lips and started humming.

When the ministers heard Hanya Xian's words, their expressions suddenly became subtle.

No wonder the Qiao family chose the daughter of the Han family over so many wealthy families!

Listen to these words, how timely and tactful they are!

Wait, there's a problem!

How did the "notorious" Han Shitou teach such a transparent daughter? ? ?

Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo also secretly praised Hanya Xian in his heart!

Now that the taboo has been violated, we can only make things worse and let Emperor Yong make the decision for their Qiao family!

"Master Xiao, please take care of this place. The envoys from the two countries are coming soon. We cannot lose the face of the Yong Dynasty."

"Go down and find the Holy One!"

Xiao Hongda is now the Duke of Dingguo and the quasi-father-in-law of the prince. His status is extremely noble. If he is in charge, no one will say anything.

The most important thing is that Qiao Zhongguo only trusts Xiao Hongda!

Xiao Hongda nodded, "Master Qiao, go and leave this place to me."

Before Qiao Zhongguo left, he glanced at Han Mingzhe again.

Han Mingzhe nodded secretly, he would protect Xian'er and his wife.

Qiao Zhongguo felt relieved and went out with the tea cup.

Meng Guxue sat far away, and when she saw this farce, she felt indescribably horrified.

She remembered!

She knew the inside story about the poisoning of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family!

In the dream, she had been designated as Princess Zhunjing at that time.

The eldest princess invited her to go on an outing and also called Shen Lang. In fact, she wanted to create a chance for them to get along.

While taking a nap at Huguo Temple, she went out to change her clothes. When she returned, she happened to hear the eldest princess talking to Shen Lang about the Qiao family's affairs.

"Yesterday, Qiao Zhongguo asked for grace from his father and asked Dr. Zou to diagnose his eldest daughter-in-law's pulse."

"Tsk, I guess it's because my belly hasn't moved for so long and I'm finally getting anxious."

She could still recall the eldest princess's tone at that time, so contemptuous and gloating.

"She is also a pheasant flying on the branch. I really don't know how Qiao Tianjing fell in love with her in the first place. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to recruit Qiao Tianjing as my consort."

"Then Hanya Xian, don't even think about it in your lifetime."

At this time, Shen Lang's slightly surprised voice sounded.

"Sister Huang, I just mentioned it at the time, but did you really do it?"

The eldest princess chuckled, "Of course~ How can such a wonderful method be wasted?"

"I, as early as a year ago on Wanshou Festival, I brought that cup of poisoned tea to Hanya Xian's mouth!"

"Haha, it's ridiculous that she found a good son-in-law and was very proud of her, but she didn't know that her path to an heir was completely cut off by me from that day on!"

She was standing outside the door at that time, shocked by these words.

The Qiao family did block Shen Lang's way, but as a woman of this era, Hanya Xian, the eldest princess made her infertile. Wasn't this just forcing her to death?

When her thoughts came to this point, Meng Guxue suddenly clenched the handkerchief tightly.

In the dream, it was the eldest princess who attacked the Miss Han family.

But today, the eldest princess has been locked up in the palace and temple by Emperor Yong, and it is said that she has been isolated from the world. How can she still have the intention and ability to take action against Miss Han?

In this way, it is already clear who the person who poisoned today is...

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue couldn't help but feel her hands and feet feel cold.

Although I don't know how the Qiao family escaped this plot, it can be seen that he has already taken action against the Qiao family!

Moreover, he acts decisively and ruthlessly, and it can be said that he will do whatever it takes and no matter the cost!

At this moment, Meng Guxue was really scared.

She no longer knew whether everything went astray, or whether she had never really seen the second prince clearly even in that dream!

On the other side, Qiao Zhongguo came to Emperor Yong under the guidance of the palace servants.

At this time, Emperor Yong was sitting with the queen in gorgeous clothes. He had already received the report in advance. At this time, his eyebrows were dark and his face was unhappy.

After Qiao Zhongguo entered the palace, still holding the cup of tea in his hand, he saluted Emperor Yong.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He thought that Qiao Zhongguo would cry out for injustice as soon as he opened his mouth and let him make the decision.

Qiao Zhongguo bowed his head to the ground and said sincerely:

"Today is the day when the Holy One has a long life, the heaven is bright, the emperor is manifesting below, and there is endless prosperity both inside and outside the world."

"At this time when the whole world is celebrating, Your Majesty must not spoil your mood because of my family's affairs, otherwise I will be blamed for my death!"

Emperor Yong's expression moved slightly when he heard this. This Qiao Zhongguo is really...

Although the Qiao family was the victim of today's incident, the incident was caused by his family after all. It was bloody and taboo was violated.

He was really excited just now, and even wanted to express his anger, but he didn't expect Qiao Zhongguo to come face to face to plead guilty.

The queen saw Emperor Yong's expression in her eyes and saw that his expression was slightly brighter, so she followed up and said:

"In my opinion, Lord Qiao does not need to be so panicked."

"The Holy One loves his ministers like his own son. I just heard the report from the palace, and I was immediately worried about the safety of Lord Qiao and his family."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo immediately raised his head with a flattered look on his face and shouted with great gratitude: "Your Majesty!"

The queen turned to look at Emperor Yong, and continued: "Sir Kuang is the son of a true dragon. His longevity and longevity are comparable to those of mountains and seas, and his beauty spreads all over the world. How can a mere thief, with his bloodshed, offend him?"

"Not only that, Mr. Qiao, the Holy One is wise and powerful. The Holy One will definitely uphold justice for you in today's matter."

The queen's words almost lifted Emperor Yong to the sky.

Emperor Yong turned his head to look at the queen.

Ever since Xiao Si fell into the water on the Dragon Boat Festival, although the Queen was respectful to him as usual, she was always distant and cold, and she was rarely as pleasant as she is today.

Emperor Yong turned his head to look at Qiao Zhongguo, who was kneeling on the ground, and saw that he had a grateful face and was looking at him expectantly.

At this moment, the dissatisfaction in Emperor Yong's heart came full circle and finally dissipated.

"Qiao Aiqing, get up."

Emperor Yong relaxed and his tone became much gentler.

"Tell me, what happened just now?"

Qiao Zhongguo was secretly grateful to the queen.

If the Queen hadn't been around today, he would have had to work harder to resolve Emperor Yong's anger and dissatisfaction.

Qiao Zhongguo did not stand up, but held up the tea cup in his hand and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, at the banquet just now, the palace servants poured this tea to my eldest daughter-in-law."

"I don't know if the palace man has a guilty conscience, but he looks quite panicked."

"At that time, my daughter-in-law was chatting with Miss Xiao, so I didn't think much about it and didn't go to drink tea."

"Then the little girl was naughty and found her daughter-in-law. During the conversation, the minister's daughter-in-law inadvertently looked at the palace servant, but she saw her eyes flickering and she kept paying attention here."

"The eldest daughter-in-law told this matter to me. I noticed something was wrong, so I was going to find the palace servant to find out. Who knew that I was able to capture her, so she took poison and committed suicide without hesitation!"

"I looked back again, and another palace maid reached out to this cup of tea, intending to destroy the evidence. At this point, I am sure in my heart that there must be something fishy in this tea!"

"In desperation, I took action to save the tea, but the palace maid also took the poison immediately."

"Your Majesty, this is what happened before."

Qiao Zhongguo had already made up these rhetoric on the way here.

True and false, false and true.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain how he discovered something was wrong with the tea.

Emperor Yong did not doubt Qiao Zhongguo's words. After all, when the family stood together and talked in a low voice, others could not hear them at all.

At least what the palace official came to report just now matches what Qiao Zhongguo explained now.

"Here comes Xuan Zouqi." Emperor Yong said in a deep voice.

Since there is something wrong with the tea, let's get it tested!

The queen was cautious and made arrangements immediately.

"All the palace servants serving in the palace today will be detained and a new batch will be sent over. All the drinks will be replaced!"

Today's palace banquet, a group of imperial doctors were already on duty nearby, but now it was announced that it came very quickly.

Imperial Physician Zou has senior qualifications, high medical skills, and extensive knowledge. He is an expert at testing medicines and poisons.

He took the tea and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, may I allow you to go down and take a closer look?"

Emperor Yong nodded, and Imperial Physician Zou went to the side hall with tea in hand.

By this time Emperor Yong had calmed down and he couldn't help but want to comfort Qiao Zhongguo.

Qiao Zhongguo was grateful and said a lot of beautiful words, and the atmosphere in the palace was very harmonious for a while.

After a while, the time for the banquet was almost here, and then Doctor Zou came over from the side hall in a hurry.

"Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Zou, how is it?"

Doctor Zou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is undoubtedly poison."

Although Qiao Zhongguo had been sure of this for a long time, now that he had received the confirmation from Dr. Zou, he couldn't help but change his expression!

He asked quickly: "Mr. Zou, what kind of poison is it?"

Emperor Yong and the Empress also darkened their expressions, and both looked at Dr. Zou.

Doctor Zou did not dare to hide it and said truthfully: "This medicine cannot hurt people, but its properties are extremely cold. After a woman drinks it, she will... be unable to have children for the rest of her life. It is a medicine that will never be passed down."

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his hair stood on end!

Sure enough, the future was exactly the same as Jiaojiao had foreseen!

When Emperor Yong and the Queen heard this, their expressions changed.

They looked at Qiao Zhongguo almost at the same time, and saw that his face turned pale, his whole body was shaking slightly, and he seemed to be unable to stand!

Huang Pei glanced at Emperor Yong's face, hurriedly stepped forward to support Qiao Zhongguo, and whispered:

"Master Qiao!"

Qiao Zhongguo covered his face with his hands and said in a trembling voice: "So vicious. This thief has such vicious intentions. He is trying to kill off all descendants of my Qiao family!"

"Your Majesty, I... I have disobeyed the emperor, but I am really..."

At this moment, Qiao Zhongguo's voice was choked with sobs.

When the queen heard this, her heart suddenly pricked up, and Emperor Yong couldn't hide his shock.

This is the first time he has seen Qiao Zhongguo lose his temper like this!

The iron-blooded hero back then, the world-famous General Zhenbei, looked so helpless at this moment, completely different from what he remembered!

Emperor Yong also heard about the rules of the Qiao family. He heard that the men of the Qiao family only had one wife and did not take concubines. In this way, the thieves targeted Qiao Zhongguo's eldest daughter-in-law to cut off the relationship between his children and grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong couldn't sit still anymore and stood up personally to support Qiao Zhongguo.

"Qiao Aiqing, don't do this, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Emperor Yong was also furious in his heart. The thieves were so lawless that they dared to do such an outrageous thing at his Wanshou Palace banquet!

"Zou Qi, is it possible to find out where this medicine comes from?"

Doctor Zou lowered his head, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have just carefully identified the tea. The cold poison has been completely dissolved in the tea. To check the raw materials, you have to work hard."

"But there is one thing. This medicine... is extremely cold, which is very rare in this dynasty."

"If possible, please allow your Majesty to give me some more time, and maybe we can find out some clues."

When Emperor Yong heard this, he suddenly raised his head.

"Is it very rare in this dynasty?"

Almost at the same moment, everyone in the hall thought of the two embassy delegations from Nanli and Beiguo that had recently visited.

The people from Nanli are good at medicine, and there is a deep hatred between Beiguo and Qiao Zhongguo. They may both be the poisoners!

"Okay, this hand is stretched out in front of me! Check! Zou Qi, you must find out where this medicine comes from!"

Boom, boom, boom————

At this time, three drums sounded outside, indicating that it was time for the emperor and the empress to enter the banquet.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo finally raised his head.

"Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed later. Don't miss the opportunity of your Majesty's long life."

Emperor Yong turned his head and looked into Qiao Zhongguo's red eyes, feeling a sense of indebtedness after all.

"My dear, please relax, I won't let this matter go."

Qiao Zhongguo nodded heavily and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Emperor Yong and the Queen set off and headed to the main hall.

Qiao Zhongguo followed behind, with many thoughts in his mind.

Even Jiaojiao had not foreseen the mastermind behind it, but he now had a clue in his mind.

Thank God, the eldest daughter-in-law escaped this disaster!

After making a fuss today, I got an unexpected harvest.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo looked at Emperor Yong in front of him.

The Holy Spirit felt guilty towards him. Although it would not last long, it would be enough to survive the night.

Next, every slanderous word uttered by the Northern Mission towards him will heighten His Majesty's guilt by an inch and add heat to His Majesty's anger!

He was looking forward to this scene!

————

At the beginning of the Youshi period, the emperor and the empress walked side by side into the main hall of the Calyx Xianghui Building, and received everyone's obeisance.

After a while, it was announced that the delegations of the two countries would meet.

Before anyone arrived, a pleasant sound of bells had already entered the hall.

The mission had been arranged, and Qiao Tianjing entered the palace before Qiao Zhongguo.

Before he took his seat, he noticed a slightly strange atmosphere in the hall.

At this time, Han Mingzhe pulled Qiao Tianjing aside and told everything that had just happened.

Qiao Tianjing's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. Fortunately, everything was kept secret from Xian'er, allowing her to take precautions in advance.

Han Mingzhe knew that Qiao Tianjing was very good to Xian'er, but he still couldn't help but warned:

"Tian Jing, I gave Xian'er to you, you have to protect her well. I am just a daughter, I have nothing else to care about."

Qiao Tianjing immediately nodded solemnly to Han Mingzhe.

"My father-in-law, please rest assured. My son-in-law has taken note of it."

When Qiao Tianjing found his seat, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao were accompanying Hanya Xian.

Mrs. Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qiao Tianjing arriving.

"The banquet is about to begin. Boss, please take good care of Xian'er."

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Qiao hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and returned to the front seat. After Qiao Tianjing sat down, Hanya Xian whispered about what happened just now.

"Qiao Lang, I'm fine, thanks to my little sister..."

After Qiao Tianjing heard the whole story, he turned to look at the innocent and lively Qiao Jiaojiao in front of him, full of love and gratitude.

When Qiao Zhongguo followed the emperor into the palace, he seemed to be as normal as ever.

Qiao Tianjing raised his eyes and exchanged a look with his father calmly.

After the kneeling ceremony, the chorus began:

"Xuan——Nanli State's envoy is here to see you!"

When the sound of the bell hit her ears, Meng Guxue subconsciously clenched her hands and lowered her head.

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the palace and saw a fiery red figure coming into view.

He has handsome eyebrows and a smile on his lips. His long hair is half scattered behind his back. There are bells on his headband and waistband. Every step he takes is extremely "lively".

When he reached the palace, he slowly bowed to Emperor Yong. Even in a foreign country, he still looked calm and magnanimous.

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at Baili Chengyou and commented secretly in her heart:

[As expected of the second male lead who can compete equally with the male protagonist. Look at this good skin. Who wouldn't be confused after seeing this? 】

Because there was a special section for giving gifts and celebrating birthdays later, Baili Chengyou just said some auspicious words first, and Emperor Yong smiled and gave him a seat.

"Xuan——The envoy from the North Kingdom is here to see you!"

Soon, the Northern Kingdom delegation, led by Che Hebi, entered the palace. Today, they all wore forehead wipes, which made them look particularly formal.

Che Hebi bowed to Emperor Yong, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.

Emperor Yong gave him a seat without a smile. Cha Hebi turned around and walked towards the long case. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and stopped again.

"correct."

With a smile on his face, Che Hebi suddenly turned to look at Qiao Zhongguo sitting down.

This sudden move instantly attracted everyone's attention!

"General Qiao." Che Hebi called lightly.

Qiao Zhongguo's expression was calm. He glanced at Emperor Yong first, and when Emperor Yong nodded to him, he spoke:

"Grand Master Che, I have resigned from my post a long time ago. It is really inappropriate to call me General. Grand Master Che should just call me Lord Qiao."

Qiao Jiaojiao:!

[The "attack" of the Northerners came too quickly! Are you so impatient? 】

Che Hebi nodded gently when he heard this, but the words he said were extremely heart-wrenching.

"Master Qiao, I am old and my memory is bad. I almost forgot something important."

"Before I left for the Yong Dynasty, my king specially asked me to send my regards to Sir Qiao."

"Over the years, Mr. Qiao's reputation has not faded in our country. Speaking of which, the people in our country only know Mr. Qiao's name, and they think that Yong's country also has the surname Qiao."

After Che Hebi finished speaking, there was silence in the palace, and you could hear a needle drop.

Everyone knew that these seemingly flattering words actually put Qiao Zhongguo on fire!

Anyone can see such a low-level plan to sow discord, let alone the Holy One.

However, it is such a straightforward eye medicine that can most hurt the emperor who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes!

Although Tan Hanchi was favored by the Holy Spirit, his official position was not high, so he was placed near the palace gate.

At this moment, hearing Che Hebi's provocative words, he lowered his head slightly and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

coming......

When Emperor Yong heard this, his heart was suddenly stabbed.

Not because what Che Hebi said was so treacherous, but because he remembered the bet he made with Tan Hanchi and how Qiao Zhongguo had just been plotted against!

OK--

This northern thief is indeed dishonest!

They thought that he was so comatose that they could provoke him to kill Zhongliang with just a few words!

Qiao Zhongguo looked at Emperor Yong's face and was about to retaliate sharply when Emperor Yong suddenly laughed lowly, making everyone laugh in confusion and fear.

Che Hebi's heart was slightly settled.

The young master said that Emperor Yong was suspicious and fickle, narrow-minded, and attached great importance to reputation and face.

If you want to target Qiao Zhongguo, you have to do the opposite and praise Qiao Zhongguo in front of Emperor Yong. Emperor Yong will definitely be dissatisfied with Qiao Zhongguo.

As long as this thorn is buried in Emperor Yong's heart, it will take root and sprout over time, until one day when the time is right, it will grow into a deadly blade that stabs Qiao Zhongguo!

As soon as Che Hebi's thoughts reached this point, he heard Emperor Yong say quietly:

"It seems that your country is indeed reflecting on its situation."

Che Hebi:? ? ?

Everyone:? ? ?

Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !

Emperor Yong saw the slightly surprised expressions on Che and Bi, and became even more certain that, just as Tan Hanchi expected, this northern country was here for eye drops!

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, suddenly put his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with his palms, leaned over slightly and said:

"Back then, your country overestimated its capabilities and invaded the northern territory of our Great Yong Dynasty. After all, you learned a profound lesson from Qiao Aiqing's cavalry."

"I hope we can continue to do so, and don't forget to warn future generations to stay safe and not have evil thoughts, otherwise - you will surely suffer the consequences!"

"Of course, there are too many ignorant people in your country, and they must be educated. The people don't know my surname in the Yong Dynasty. Don't even Grand Master Che and your Northern King's court know?"

After Emperor Yong finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine unhurriedly.

When he looked up again, he saw that Che and Bi were still standing in the hall, so he turned his head and asked, "What? Did King Jinyu ask Grand Master Che to say anything else? Let's finish them all together."

"If not, it's time to take a seat."

Confusion flashed across Che Hebi's face for a moment, and his face turned pale at Emperor Yong's words.

He was puzzled as to why Emperor Yong and the young master were so different from each other.

Today, Emperor Yong put down his body and blocked him in person, which can be regarded as a full display of protection and favor for Qiao Zhongguo!

But now that they were on someone else's territory, they couldn't verbally take advantage, so Che and Bi could only sit back and look for another opportunity.

All the courtiers were also shocked. It turned out that Qiao Zhongguo's position in the heart of the Holy Emperor was so stable!

From this point of view, you must be more careful when dealing with Qiao Mangfu in the future!

Qiao Zhongguo looked at Emperor Yong in the high position, his face was filled with gratitude and emotion, his big hand pinched his thigh under the case, and "hot tears" instantly filled his eyes!

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have shouted "Holy Lord"!

Emperor Yong met Qiao Zhongguo's ardent, respectful and convinced eyes, and nodded lightly at him, as if to say:

Don't worry, my dear, I trust you!

Qiao Jiaojiao saw this interaction between the monarch and his subjects, and opened his mouth slightly.

[What's the matter with that argument just now, why did Emperor Yong feel a little handsome? 】

[I have to say, this character is too fragmented! You can say he is a wise man, he is a love-minded man, you can call him a faint man, he is quite sober at the critical moment! 】

[No matter what, the eye medicine in Beiguo will not be available tonight! Look at my father's pitiful, flattered little look when he looked at Emperor Yong. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I feel pity for him! 】

Qiao Zhongguo:? ? ?

I never thought in my life that someone would use the words "I feel pity for him" to describe him!

He is a tough guy! Plus I can do some acting!

Mrs. Qiao quickly lowered her head and pretended to be very busy taking care of Qiao Jiaojiao's little broken hair.

She had no choice but to follow Jiaojiao's thoughts and imagine how pitiful her husband would be. It was so funny!

She couldn't let others see the raised corners of her mouth!

After Che and Bi sat down honestly, the singing and dancing outside the hall came in.

Everyone took this opportunity to eat something to satisfy their stomachs.

Baili Chengyou sat behind the case, pouring and drinking by himself casually.

He saw the interaction between Emperor Yong and Che and Bi just now, and was a little surprised in his heart.

When he was in Nanli Country, all the developments around him were exactly the same as in his dream.

Whether it's the eldest brother indulging in women or the second brother secretly plotting to seize power, everything is synchronized with the dream.

So this time, he took advantage of it and laid a big net in the country, waiting for the eldest brother and the second brother to fight and both sides would lose, and then he would reap the benefits.

However, the situation in the Yong Kingdom was far from the dream.

Shen Yuanbai, who was invincible in his dream, was actually banned from the sect's residence, and Meng Guxue, whom he originally loved but couldn't love, was not with Shen Yuanbai!

What kind of opportunities and interferences caused such a big change in the pattern of Yong Dynasty?

Baili Chengyou drank another glass of wine, his eyes full of interest.

Suddenly, he became interested and leaned back slightly to look at Meng Guxue sitting next to him.

When he just entered the hall, he looked around the hall.

Everyone looked at him subconsciously, but she didn't even raise her head.

He dressed up so "showy" on purpose today, wasn't she curious at all?

Following Baili Chengyou's small arc movements, the bell on his hairband made a crisp sound.

Qiao Jiaojiao, a little gossip, was immediately attracted to her attention. Seeing Baili Chengyou looking for Meng Guxue, she couldn't help but get a little excited.

【Ah ah ah! Isn't it wrong to knock on everything? 】

[However, it turns out that I really like the romantic setting of the second male protagonist who cannot help but fall in love. Now I can't help but feel a little bit excited about it! What's going on! 】

[Baili Chengyou is expected to stage a blatant marriage proposal today. Can Meng Guxue control it? 】

Qiao Jiaojiao's little eyes were already shining brightly!

On the other side, Meng Guxue was suffering in her heart.

She thought a lot last night, but unfortunately there was no one to ask for advice.

In fact, from the moment Baili Chengyou entered the room, she had been paying attention to the faint sound of the bell.

However, she was unwilling to express her feelings in front of Baili Chengyou, let alone show cowardice, and simply turned a blind eye.

Baili Chengyou saw Meng Guxue's profile, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Not urgent.

When Shen Yuanbai comes, it won't be too late for the show to start again!

Qiao Jiaojiao saw Baili Chengyou's expression in her eyes, and her face was full of interest.

In fact, if Baili Chengyou asked to marry Meng Guxue, the best time would be to strike before the second prince showed up.

However, she could still somewhat understand Baili Chengyou's state of mind.

After all, he is such a proud person. He has already lost to Shen Yuanbai in his dream. Now he just doesn't believe in this evil and has to compete with Shen Yuanbai before he is willing to give up!

In this "sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight", the right time, right place and right people are absolutely indispensable!

After the singing and dancing, it was time to give gifts and celebrate birthdays.

The first person to send blessings was the empress sitting next to Emperor Yong.

Since the fourth prince fell into the water, the queen has completely lost her heart towards Emperor Yong.

But now that the overall situation is uncertain, the queen has no choice but to continue to give in. She was also very considerate in giving the longevity gift to Emperor Yong.

On the occasion of a happy event for Emperor Yong, he had just spoken quickly to criticize the car and the jade. Now he is looking kind and cheerful, feeling refreshed.

Then the prince presented a gift, and Emperor Yong was also gentle and approachable, and he sincerely praised the prince.

After the prince, according to the order, it should be the second prince who presents the gift.

But Emperor Yong didn't say anything, and everyone just pretended to be deaf and dumb. At this moment, everyone seemed to have tacitly forgotten that there was still the second prince.

The third prince walked up to Emperor Yong after the prince. Concubine Jing and the second princess both nervously twisted the handkerchiefs in their hands.

Some time ago, the eldest princess was sent to the palace, and Concubine Wan was demoted. Concubine Jing naturally became the first person under the empress.

She was secretly proud that now only the third prince was worried.

Thinking of this, Concubine Jing secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that her unsatisfactory son would not embarrass her at such a critical moment!

The second princess and the third prince are connected. Compared with Concubine Jing who is worried about her own face, the second princess is more worried about the third prince's body.

Seeing the third prince kneeling down and paying homage to Emperor Yong, the second princess's heart also rose to her throat.

On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival last year, my brother suddenly fell ill.

Since then, my brother's worries seemed to have deepened, and he frowned and worried all day long.

Especially when the prince's brother came to visit, she saw how many times he hesitated to speak.

Privately, she once asked her brother if he had anything on his mind that she could share with him.

But her brother just touched her head very gently and said vague words.

"Sister, my brother is useless. He doesn't want to fight for anything. He just wants to live in peace with his sister and his mother and concubine."

The second princess felt sour in her heart when she thought of this.

How unfair God was to her brother. Sometimes she even hoped that she was the one who was born weak.

In this way, the elder brother can be as energetic as all the young men and gallop with them.

If she was the one who was born with deficiencies, her brother would definitely do everything in his power to protect her, instead of being as incompetent as she is, unable to share his worries at all...

The third prince knelt in front of Emperor Yong, suppressed all his thoughts, and uttered auspicious words that he had practiced countless times.

When he raised his head, he saw a very warm smile on Emperor Yong's face for the first time.

"The third child looks much better."

The third prince's heart suddenly warmed up when he heard this.

That's good...

Once he got involved in the fight between the two royal brothers, with his weak body, he would not be able to protect his mother, concubine and sister.

The eldest brother is in a good situation now, and he will surely be able to secure his position as the crown prince and succeed to the throne.

Hope everything goes well...

Chapter 198 Proclaiming the Second Prince

After the third prince retreated, the fourth prince stepped forward.

He has been practicing martial arts with Qiao Zhongguo for more than half a year. He has become darker and taller. Now his steps are steady and his expression is reserved. When he kneels down to salute, his demeanor is not inferior to the two brothers before him.

When Emperor Yong saw this, his eyes immediately showed satisfaction.

In the past, he felt that Xiaosi was too squeamish because of the Queen's care, but now he looked like she was more presentable.

"Xiaosi has grown up a lot. He must continue to practice martial arts with Qiao Qing."

The fourth prince responded respectfully, his slightly lowered eyes no longer filled with the original innocent expectations.

The queen's heart ached slightly when she saw it, but she was also filled with relief.

Her little four has really grown up...

After the prince finished his congratulations, it was the princess's turn.

As we all know, the eldest princess invited herself to the palace and temple to accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern in order to "pray for blessings for the people of the world", so she will not show up today.

So the second princess stepped forward directly, her every move was dignified and her voice was clear and sweet.

When everyone saw this, they looked at Baili Chengyou who was sitting down, intentionally or unintentionally.

This time when the three princes of Nanli Kingdom came to Yong Dynasty, they clearly mentioned that they wanted to marry.

The eldest princess has reached the age of marriageable age. It was originally suitable, but now it is not.

Further down the line, the second princess turned fourteen, which was just right, but she didn't know whether the Holy Master would be willing to part with her.

But yesterday, a piece of news spread, saying that the third prince had fallen in love with the young lady from Shilang Meng's family.

Everyone knows that Miss Meng is a good poet. The Holy Father even praised her in front of everyone at the Dragon Boat Festival Banquet last year.

It is said that Prince Baili admires Miss Meng's talent very much, and he may be interested in marrying Miss Meng.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes unconsciously glanced towards Meng Guxue.

This young lady from the Meng family is only twelve years old, and she is still three years away from getting haircut. She does not have an outstanding appearance, but her talent is truly beyond words.

If Prince Baili chooses her, I'm afraid the Holy One will be very happy. After all, the second princess is a real golden branch, and the Holy One will definitely not be willing to separate flesh and blood.

The second princess also knew about the marriage, and was equally uneasy at this time.

But she didn't dare to make a fuss, let alone raise any objections.

After all, thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from the king. If the father has made up his mind, her resistance will be in vain and may even bring trouble to her mother, concubine and brother.

Emperor Yong didn't have many heirs, so it only took half a quarter of an hour for the prince and princess to present their gifts.

As usual, the next step is for the ministers to present their gifts, but this year is special because there are also envoys from the two countries, so they are ranked first.

Baili Chengyou stood up. He was very patient. Even though it was a good time to give a gift, he didn't mention the marriage.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she knew that Baili Chengyou was determined to wait for the second prince to show up.

Next came the gift presentation from the Northern Kingdom envoys. Che Hebi got up and came to the palace, presented a treasure on behalf of King Jinyu, and said some auspicious words that could not be faulted.

Originally, it was time to leave after all the words were said, but Che Hebi suddenly looked around with doubts on his face.

Qiao Jiaojiao secretly clicked her tongue.

[This car and bi are going to cause trouble again! 】

Emperor Yong was not used to him either. Seeing him standing in the hall begging for nothing, he simply started drinking without asking a word.

Che Hebi: "..."

Is this the way of hospitality in Yong Kingdom?

Seeing that Emperor Yong ignored him, Che Hebi thought about it and could only take the initiative to say: "Why don't you see the second prince of your country?"

Ministers: "..."

To be thick-skinned, you have to be a northern thief!

They have been in Yong Dynasty for more than half a month, and the news of the second prince's grounding has not been hidden. How could he not know?

But Che Hebi had this ability. His face was full of sincere doubts, and he just stared at Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong was impatient and said quietly: "The second brother made some mistakes and went to the Zongren Mansion to reflect on it."

Che Hebi let out a low cry after hearing this, his eyes full of shock.

"Your Majesty Yong Huang, I wonder what mistake the second prince made to end up being imprisoned in the clan's mansion?"

Emperor Yong frowned. This chariot and jade were really taken a step further. What position did he have and what qualifications did he have to ask this question?

Che Hebi seemed to have an insight into Emperor Yong's thoughts and said with a worried look:

"Your Majesty Yong Huang, I don't mind exposing my own scars today. Back then, Princess Yu Liu and her relatives died at a young age."

"After the news came back, the whole country mourned, and the late king and his Majesty were even more heartbroken."

"The second prince is the only bloodline the princess has left in the world. We have never seen him until now."

"As the Grand Master of the Northern Kingdom, I went through all the troubles to come to Yong Dynasty to congratulate His Majesty on Christmas. I have demonstrated our determination and sincerity in the peaceful coexistence of our Northern Royal Court and your Dynasty."

"Therefore, I would also like to ask His Majesty Yong Huang to give my king a thought and ask me to meet His Highness the Second Prince on my behalf."

As soon as these words came out, the place fell into silence again.

After Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help but sigh:

[The second prince really made a risky move. I have to say, he is really courageous. 】

[Originally, the fact that he has half the blood of the Northern Kingdom was already very sensitive. Now that the Northern Kingdom's envoy requests to meet again, everyone will increasingly tie him to the Northern Kingdom. 】

[Even if he takes such a big risk, the second prince still wants to appear in front of people today. Does he have any absolute confidence that he can completely win back Emperor Yong's heart? 】

What Che Hebi said made Emperor Yong change his face. For so many years, no one had dared to mention Princess Yuliu in front of him.

Seeing that Emperor Yong hadn't responded yet, Che and Bi continued to add more money.

"Furthermore, the common etiquette in the world is that filial piety comes first. Today is the Christmas of His Majesty Yong Emperor. All the children have come to congratulate you, but the second prince is missing. I am afraid that not only I will find this situation strange, but also everyone in the world will be very puzzled after hearing it. Bar?"

All the courtiers: "..."

What a puzzling thing!

Don't blame them for their foul language. Everyone in the world knows that the second prince is grounded, but the traitor from the North is here pretending to be deaf and mute, confusing right and wrong!

"Master Che's words make sense."

In the silence, a clear voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked around, but they never expected that the person who came to rescue Grand Master Che was actually the third prince of Nanli Kingdom!

"Your Majesty Emperor Yong, no matter what mistakes your second prince has made, he should come out to offer you a gift and kowtow today. After today, it will not be too late to punish him slowly."

Che Hebi didn't expect Baili Chengyou to turn towards him, and a trace of shock really flashed across his face.

Qiao Jiaojiao sighed secretly:

[It is said that smart people tend to be arrogant. This Baili Chengyou is really not afraid. Don't shoot yourself in the foot! 】

Now that the missions of both countries have spoken out, and Che Hebi's demands are reasonable and reasonable, Emperor Yong thought about it and found no reason to refuse.

He looked faintly outside the hall, and could vaguely see the colorful lights reflecting the darkness of the night.

At such a moment of universal celebration, the Zongren Mansion is indeed too cold...

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong waved his right hand lightly.

"Second Prince Xuan."

Chapter 199 is so similar!

As soon as Emperor Yong said this, everyone in the venue had different expressions.

The Queen sat aside with a calm expression, without even the slightest disturbance.

Because Zhan'er had expected this encounter for a long time and had prepared her mentally in the past few days.

The second child couldn't stay in the clan mansion forever. She had already realized this in her heart, but she didn't expect that he was so impatient that he didn't even want to wait for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The prince knew that at this moment, countless pairs of eyes were spying and speculating on his expression, including his father.

So he lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the tea at hand and took a sip without changing his expression.

The prince looked around and took in the entire scene. What puzzled him the most was the performance of the third brother beside him.

He clearly saw that when his father agreed to Grand Master Che's request to summon the second brother, the third brother's expression suddenly changed.

Although the third brother restrained himself very quickly, he was still caught by him.

The prince felt a little confused.

He knew that the third brother was actually smart, but he was just born with deficiencies and was limited by his weak body.

Otherwise, there is no doubt that the third brother will be an amazingly talented person.

Now that the third brother is out of the fight for the crown prince, why is he so sensitive to the appearance of the second brother?

The second brother should...have never targeted the third brother, right?

Now that the occasion was wrong, although the prince was puzzled, he could only bury this question in his heart.

At this time, the third prince felt very tormented.

He learned an incredible truth from the letter left by Miss Sheng.

No, strictly speaking, this can only be called a statement, not the truth.

Because Miss Lian Sheng only heard one side of the story without any evidence.

He was powerless in the palace and had no ability to investigate the truth of that year.

Tell the eldest brother?

He thought about it and struggled with it, but came to the conclusion that no, he didn't dare.

He could see that his father loved his second brother the most.

This kind of love for the house and the bird will last forever unless the father's feelings for the concubine are exhausted!

The battle between the eldest emperor brother and the second emperor brother is difficult to win or lose.

If he rashly takes sides, it won't matter if his body turns to smoke and ashes, but his mother, concubine, and sister may suffer disaster because of his actions, and their future is uncertain!

My sister has reached the age of marriage. If the second emperor brother deliberately makes things difficult for them, my sister's life may be ruined!

However, if the second emperor brother is really not the flesh and blood of his father, and if the second emperor brother is really allowed to succeed in the end, it will be a change of ownership, which is the same as treason!

If the second emperor brother is unkind, harms the common people, and slaughters loyal ministers and good generals, he who holds the key blow will become a sinner for the ages!

Thinking of this, the third prince frowned in pain, and his breathing became rapid due to the ups and downs of his mind.

No, hold on.

He couldn't lose his composure on such an important occasion, and he couldn't lose the Yong Dynasty's face in front of foreign missions!

Under the case, the third prince clenched his hands tightly, his fingertips turning white.

His heart was filled with desolation and despair, and he hated and despised his own incompetence all the time...

While waiting for the second prince to arrive, the officials began to give gifts in an orderly manner.

In fact, it just means a few beautiful words. If you want to climb up, you will seize the opportunity and say your blessings in a more original way.

After all, Emperor Yong had never seen any kind of treasure, and the gifts given by the ministers were nothing more than impressive to Emperor Yong.

Of course, there are families who are extremely wealthy and can collect rare treasures, but no one dares to give them away!

Doesn't this tell everyone that my family has money and power, and they are welcome to come and target me?

Qiao Jiaojiao listened with little interest. After a round, she felt tired for Emperor Yong.

Fortunately, the second prince did not keep her waiting too long.

When it was Tan Hanchi's turn to give the congratulations, a sound of singing came from outside the hall:

"The second prince has arrived——"

Qiao Jiaojiao's whole body was excited and she immediately looked out of the hall.

The young man was wearing purple brocade clothes, with a slim figure and a picturesque face. He suddenly caught everyone's attention.

In the past year, the hardships in the Zongren Mansion have not damaged his magnanimity and appearance in the slightest.

The extremely handsome face and the tall and straight figure are just like the orchids and jade trees, looking like the bright moon in one's arms.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she had to admit that the author had indeed given the male protagonist the most stunning appearance.

She had just reached this point in her mind when she suddenly saw the envoys from the Northern Kingdom on the other side standing up in unison, and Che Hebi even yelled out of control: "Princess!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was startled by the voice. She turned to look at Emperor Yong who was sitting in the seat, only to see that his entire upper body was leaning forward, his gaze focused on the second prince, never moving away for a moment.

Qiao Jiaojiao was surprised and looked at the Queen Mother, Concubine Jing, ministers, and even her own father. Everyone's faces were filled with shock!

[This...what's going on? Is it because the second prince and Yu Liu look so similar? 】

Qiao Jiaojiao looked around in confusion, hoping that someone could answer her questions.

Qiao Zhongguo finally came to his senses after hearing Qiao Jiaojiao's inner voice. The shock in his heart was beyond words.

Like, it's so similar!

All those who had met Princess Yuliu back then were probably filled with confusion and confusion right now!

When Princess Yuliu was named a concubine, it was during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet.

In the current situation, Princess Yuliu walked into the palace wearing a long purple dress, almost blending in with the second prince at this moment!

Even though the Empress had made countless preparations in her heart, she still couldn't help but tremble slightly when she saw the second prince who was almost the same as Yu Liu.

Back then, the Holy One was obsessed with Yu Liu and became a demon, and all of them struggled to live in Yu Liu's shadow.

At that time, she, the queen of the middle palace, was almost in name only, and her three thousand harem was in name only!

The queen no longer wants to look back on the miserable years.

At that time, the Holy Emperor had completely changed, and she was holding Zhan'er in her arms and living with fear, almost exhausting her efforts!

Now, it is self-evident what kind of thoughts the second brother had when he walked in like this.

The second prince looked calm, as if he didn't notice the gazes of the people around him. He knelt respectfully in the hall and bowed deeply to Emperor Yong.

"Father, I'm late."

"I wish my father a long life and a healthy body!"

The slightly deep voice recalled Emperor Yong's wandering thoughts.

He stared blankly at the second prince who was bowing his head on the ground. The memories about Yu Liu that he had almost forgotten suddenly seemed to come alive again.

Just now, he almost thought that Yu Liu had come back to life and returned to him.

"Get up."

The moment Emperor Yong spoke, his voice almost trembled.

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao confirmed her guess.

[The dead Bai Yueguang has become an existence that cannot be touched or let go in Emperor Yong's heart. It is almost an invincible trump card in the hands of the second prince! 】

[Although today's scene is difficult to replicate, it was enough for the second prince to end his confinement in the clan mansion ahead of schedule and stand in front of them again! 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao stared at the second prince in the palace, her heart extremely solemn.

[Next, between the second prince and our Qiao family, the enemy is clear and we are clear, it is a head-on game, life or death! 】

The moment he saw the second prince, all the hesitation in Che Hebi's heart disappeared.

Before leaving for the Yong Dynasty, the king had a secret talk with him and decided to bet everything on the young master, but he did not agree.

First, the young master is the prince of the Yong Dynasty after all. Who knows whether he was bewitched by Emperor Yong to turn his heart towards the Yong Dynasty and hate the Northern Kingdom deeply.

Second, he did not understand the young master at all. Although Zhou Yong praised the young master to great effect, if he did not live up to his reputation, how could he be able to assume the position of Northern King?

With these two doubts in mind, he came to Yong Dynasty.

After exchanging secret letters with the young master during this period, looking at the young master's layout, it turns out that he is indeed very thoughtful and intelligent.

However, he still hesitated in his heart.

But at this moment, seeing this face that was almost identical to the princess, he recognized it.

In the Northern Kingdom, everyone regards the princess as a god, including him.

In fact, it was the princess herself who proposed the marriage.

Qiao Zhongguo's cavalry attacked outside the capital. If they took a step further, there would be no way to turn around.

In times of crisis, it was the princess who sacrificed her life for justice and took the initiative to go to the Yong Dynasty to get married, thus saving the last glimmer of hope for the Northern Kingdom.

Every northerner is grateful for the princess's sacrifice and dedication.

One sentence of what he just said to Emperor Yong was true.

When the news of Princess Xiangxiaoyu's death spread back to the Northern Kingdom, everyone was filled with unbearable grief and heartache!

The people of the Yong Dynasty hated their northern country to the core, and the people of the northern country hated the Yong Dynasty deeply!

Such a blood feud can never be resolved unless it is cannibalized, annexed, and fought to the death!

"Second...Your Highness, you are your Second Highness, right?"

Che Hebi stepped forward cautiously and called out to the second prince who stood up.

The second prince looked confused and turned his head to look at Emperor Yong, "Father, who is this?"

Huang Pei on the side looked at Emperor Yong's face and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this is the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, Grand Master Che."

When the second prince heard this, his expression suddenly became cold, and he nodded to Che Hebi with a distant look, with the intention of drawing a clear line written all over his body.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she snorted:

[Hmph, you brought me here, now you pretend you don't know me? play! Just act! Tonight's best actor award goes to you! 】

Seeing this, Che Hebi also realized that some of his emotions were exposed.

He turned around slightly and saluted Emperor Yong, "Your Highness the Second Highness looks so much like the princess. I've lost my temper."

When Emperor Yong heard this, he also secretly calmed his expression.

Not to mention Che Hebi, even he couldn't control himself just now.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong subconsciously glanced at the queen beside him.

The queen's expression was calm, as if nothing had changed.

But Emperor Yong could still notice that the faint smile on the queen's face disappeared.

Seeing this, Emperor Yong lowered his eyes slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to think.

From the moment the second prince appeared, Meng Guxue's nerves were stretched to the limit.

She was feeling uneasy when a bell rang and Baili Chengyou stood up.

"So, is this the famous second prince?"

As soon as Baili Chengyou opened his mouth, everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

Huang Pei quickly explained to the second prince:

"Your Highness, this is the third prince of Nanli Kingdom."

When Baili Chengyou saw Shen Yuanbai looking at him, he simply walked out from behind the long case.

When he stood with Shen Yuanbai, Baili Chengyou also felt a sense of trance in his heart.

At this moment, everything in front of him seemed to overlap with the scene in his dream, and Baili Chengyou felt that he vaguely sensed something called fate.

In the dream, he was a prince from a foreign country who had come all the way from afar. He was born as the proud son of heaven and had never failed in anything.

But when he arrived in Yong Kingdom, he was overwhelmed by Shen Yuanbai everywhere. Even the woman he admired and admired had a close affinity with Shen Yuanbai.

This feeling of frustration is heart-wrenching, and even if I think about it now, I am still full of unwillingness and dissatisfaction.

Now, he was standing next to Shen Yuanbai again, and he refused to believe that he wanted to fight him again!

"Your Highness." Shen Yuanbai nodded lightly to Baili Chengyou.

Baili Chengyou raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "After I came to the Yong Dynasty, I often heard that the second prince was famous for his amazing talent and beauty. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."

"Speaking of which, the Second Prince's reputation seems to be even louder than that of His Highness the Crown Prince of your country."

"This palace has seen the charisma of His Highness the Crown Prince. He is brilliant and graceful, and he can be called a virtuous prince. But I don't know what makes the Second Prince better than His Highness the Crown Prince?"

These words were so sharp that no one except Baili Chengyou dared to ask them.

But Baili Chengyou said it very matter of factly, his peach blossom eyes were fixed on Shen Yuanbai, as if he would not give up until he got an answer.

Everyone in the palace changed their expressions because of this straightforward question, and their eyes secretly roamed on the faces of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

The prince lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't hear Baili Chengyou's words.

Shen Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at Baili Chengyou, with surprise in his heart.

He had received the news a long time ago. After Baili Chengyou came to Yong Dynasty, he did not shy away from asking for information about him.

Now in the palace, in front of his father and the civil and military officials, Baili Chengyou was being aggressive for no reason, and seemed to be deeply hostile to him.

Of course, he, Shen Yuanbai, is not afraid of the third prince of Nanli Kingdom.

"I don't know who made such nonsense to His Highness. This kind of biased belief shouldn't happen to His Highness, right?"

"This palace already lacks many royal brothers. Besides, we are brothers and sisters who are respectful and affectionate. If the third prince wants to play a clumsy trick of sowing discord in public, then - there is no need for it."

Baili Chengyou was exposed by Shen Yuanbai, and he was not ashamed or angry. He just smiled and said:

"From what I can see now, the Second Prince is indeed far behind His Highness the Crown Prince. At least I have been in the Yong Dynasty for nearly a month. His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior is impeccable."

"For someone as powerful as His Highness the Crown Prince, I don't believe that he would be caught in the wrong place and imprisoned in the clan's mansion in such a miserable state that he would have to rely on help to get out."

"Second Prince, do you think so~~"

In the last sentence, Baili Chengyou deliberately raised his voice and looked at Shen Yuanbai with a teasing look.

Qiao Jiaojiao: Pfft——

[Haha, does the second male lead have such a vicious tongue? Or was it a dream that allowed him to unlock an incredible taunting skill? 】

[The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I like Baili Chengyou now! 】

"Okay, since the second one is here, let's take a seat. Third Prince, what else do you have to say?"

Emperor Yong spoke in a deep voice and took the initiative to relieve the second prince.

The second prince kept his head slightly lowered in the face of Baili Chengyou's ridicule, and immediately agreed obediently after hearing the words.

It was just a dispute of words, but if he really wanted to confront Baili Chengyou, why would he worry about not having an excuse?

But he had just come out of the sect's mansion, and he had specially dressed up like this. The weaker he was now, the more guilt and pity he would make his father feel!

The second prince turned around and was about to take his seat when Baili Chengyou behind him suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty Yong Huang, I do... have something to say."

Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !

[Asura field, here it comes!
