late night song

Chapter 25 Night Banquet Troubles (Part [-])
Shanqing Palace is filled with the aroma of wine, and beautiful ladies and arrogant girls are greeted by clouds of clouds.

Gu Yuchu was very nervous when dealing with Bu Rong, and he didn't like the stuffy and dangerous air in the palace, so he walked outside the corridor to get some fresh air.The full moon was facing the lake outside the hall, and the damp wind tickled her temples, which immediately made her sober and comfortable.

"Who are you?" Lejia Pengkang appeared out of nowhere and asked Gu Yuchu, who was just enjoying the night view. The woman breathed a sigh of relief and lamented the continuous entertainment and flattery at the royal banquet.

"Isn't it possible to steal the moonlight from He and Prince?"

The children of the Tian family are all so bossy and domineering. Gu Yuchu was helpless. Just after dealing with the concubine of Xirong, another little prince Hehe came. She was really exhausted both physically and mentally and was too lazy to think about it anymore, so she replied in a stiff tone.

"She is just like my Nine Emperor Sisters. There is no tenderness at all." Little Prince Pengkang rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Although I am not as noble as the princess, but in terms of age, I am quite worthy of the little prince calling me sister." This child really couldn't speak, but Gu Yuchu became interested and teased him.

"Do you think this Dongqi moon will be as round as my He He?" Lejia Pengkang didn't seem to buy it. He looked up at the sky and said something nonsensical.

"The world is so big that there is only one bright moon. But the moon seems to be different because of the changes in my state of mind." When Gu Yu saw him like this for the first time, he couldn't help but look up and think to himself.

"In the near future, my imperial sister will be getting married to Dongqi again. If my sister is lucky enough to meet her, can you help me convey the message that the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I am alone in a foreign land, so take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Gu Yuchu looked at the little prince next to him in surprise. It was really sad that he was so innocent and innocent at this age.

"Why don't you tell my sister personally?"

"In this way, it really feels like farewell."

Gu Yuchu didn't answer, feeling very sad in his heart.She also thinks about her missing brother, whose life and death are unknown, whether his childhood was relaxed and peaceful, whether he is healthy and happy now, and whether he can share the moonlight with me at this time.

"This is for you as a thank you gift." Peng Kang pulled the thoughtful Gu Yuchu and handed him the red gold ball found in the giant snake's belly.

"It's just a sentence, this gift is too heavy." Gu Yuchu ignored the etiquette and unconsciously touched Le Jia Pengkang's head, just like his own brother.

"Ling Ziyu said that the fire fox fell into the belly of the snake. If I kill the snake, it will be mine. But the snake is entrenched in Dongqi, so it can be regarded as returning to the original owner." Lejia Pengkang didn't mind Gu Yuchu's extravagant marriage at all.

Gu Yuchu didn't hesitate, he took the golden ball and felt it was not a special object, so he put it in his arms. Then the two of them stopped talking and just admired the moon in silence.

"The wind is blowing, don't be greedy for coolness, go back to the table and drink some milk tea." After a while, Gu Yuchu took the initiative to break the silence to prevent this desolate situation from creeping into his heart.

"I heard there will be fireworks, sister, don't you like it?" Lejia Pengkang looked at the palace on the other side of the lake sadly and said lightly.

"The little prince is better informed than me. Fireworks only last for a moment. Just take a look and don't get emotional."

As soon as she finished speaking, the emperors of the Four Kingdoms, escorted by the imperial guards, stepped side by side to the pavilion behind the white jade screen of the main hall. The main palace and the prince followed closely behind. The guests in the palace walked out of the hall chatting and laughing one after another, leaning on the railing. according to.

"Why don't you go with your father?" Gu Yuchu realized that He and the little prince were alone and became alert.

But the next second, the fireworks from across the bank shot up into the sky, dazzling and dazzling. The proud women waved their handkerchiefs and cheered, and the male guests brushed their beards and applauded, congratulating such a peaceful event.

In the blink of an eye, Lejia Pengkang disappeared.Gu Yuchu searched among the crowd of guests but still found nothing, and was very anxious.

"Why are you so panicked?" What's even more unfortunate is that Princess Nanxi suddenly burst out halfway and blocked Gu Yuchu's path.

"Princess, if you don't mind, you can call me sister-in-law." Gu Yuchu didn't have a good expression and directly retorted.

Instead of being angry, Gunan Xi smiled disdainfully, but had no intention of giving way.

"The princess is setting off fireworks without giving rewards, so she has the leisure to come and mind my business?" Gu Yuchu was worried about the whereabouts of Lejia Pengkang, and was a little anxious, but he couldn't show it, so he could only continue to stimulate.

"It's my turn to ask you this. You must be up to no good in being so sneaky."

Gu Yuchu really didn't want to get entangled with her and waste time, so he didn't talk to her and just turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Princess Nanxi grabbed her by the shoulder. Gu Yuchu struggled to get free without making any move, but Gu Nanxi remained unyielding and started to take action.

Gu Yuchu didn't want to act rashly and show off his martial arts skills, so he had to dodge left and right, only defending but not attacking.Seeing this, Princess Ning Zhao Yunjing pushed her sister in front of her, and suddenly staggered out halfway, Princess Rong Zhao Yunhe was about to pass Gu Yuchu and fall into the lake.

She had no choice but to fly up and hold him tightly, and the two of them fell into the corridor at the same time. At this time, Gun Nanxi stopped holding the wind in his palm, and Gu Yuchu took a bite of it in a muffled voice in order to protect Zhao Yunhe. Palm.

Then, after the fireworks ended and the guests returned to their seats, Gun Nanxi calmed down his arrogant momentum, and the three of them quickly tidied up their clothes, as if nothing had happened just now. Gu Yuchu felt very baffled.

"Ah! Killing! Someone, come quickly!"

But when a maid's panicked cry came from the second floor, Gu Yuchu's heart sank unconsciously and he realized that something was wrong.

She rushed to the murder site with everyone, and was shocked when she saw Bu Rong, the concubine of Xirong, lying in front of the case, vomiting blood and died.

Afterwards, the royal guards arrived and took control of the crime scene, while a group of guests gathered around and whispered.

Gu Yuchu hurriedly retreated, thinking that it would be better to meet up with Qi Zhen at this time.But at this moment, Emperor Ming, Anuda, Lejia Huanyu, Ling Ziyu, etc. all arrived, and she could only wait and see what happened.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that the concubine of Xirong died of poisoning." Xiao Yuan, the commander of the Imperial Guards, made a preliminary inspection of the scene and reported.

Anuda was shocked and held her concubine in grief. "Emperor Ming, Xirong has sincerely formed an alliance here. I didn't expect that you, Dong Qi, went too far to deceive others. I must give an explanation for what happened today. No matter who the murderer is, he will be cut into pieces!"

Faced with the wrath of Shanyu Xirong, everyone was silent, and Emperor Ming was just silent and did not express a word.

"Your Majesty, I know who the murderer is!" At this time, Gun Nanxi suddenly stood up, breaking the silence in the palace, and kowtowed to Emperor Ming. Princess Chaoyang was shocked and grabbed her daughter, but It's too late.

"Who is it?" Emperor Ming asked calmly after examining the ministers.

"It's her!" Gun Nanxi ignored her mother's obstruction, pointed at Gu Yuchu and said loudly, "I just saw Princess Qin sneaking around and trying to escape! She must have killed the concubine of Xirong."

"Why are Princess Nanxi so slanderous? What evidence do you have to prove that I did it!" Gu Yuchu suddenly realized that the overall situation tonight was aimed at him.

"Princess Qin has extraordinary martial arts skills. She was trying to escape with the help of fireworks, but I caught her in the act. If Princess Rong hadn't accidentally blocked her way, she would have escaped long ago!" Princess Nanxi persisted. In order to achieve her goal, she also Regardless of the queen's idea, Princess Rong was also involved.

"Princess Rong, is this possible?" Since he asked this question, Emperor Ming could only turn to Zhao Yunhe and ask seriously.

"Go back to your Majesty, today I should thank Sister Qin Princess. If it hadn't been for Sister Qin's quick skills and caught me in time, I would have fallen into the water and died." Zhao Yunhe was smarter than Gun Nanxi and was not in a hurry to give Gu Yuchu any favors. The characterization of the behavior was just to add insult to injury in the name of gratitude, implying that Gu Yuchu was hiding his hidden skills.

"If I want to escape, why are I still standing here? I just met the concubine of Xirong today. I have no enmity with her, so why do I want to kill her?" Gu Yuchu was very angry, but he still calmly said two words in a row Ask yourself the question.

She was justified. Gun Nanxi was at a loss for words when asked, and the scene was quiet.

"Your Majesty, my wife has something to say." At this time, Princess Zhao Yunjing of Huanning broke the silence and kowtowed suddenly.

Emperor Ming's face was ashen, but he still agreed.

"Today during the banquet, the Concubine of Xirong and Princess Qin were drinking and chatting. The minister's wife was nearby. The Concubine of Xirong was very excited. It seemed from the words that this was the first time she met Princess Qin."

Zhao Yunjing paused for a moment. Gu Yuchu felt that she would not be so kind. As expected, she continued:

"When the side concubine of Xirong was rising, she even talked about the local accent with Princess Qin, and she looked very happy."

"But Princess Qin clearly didn't respond with her native accent. She just invited the concubine of Xirong to drink the entire cup, and then pulled her away from the banquet."

Some of the guests began to murmur and discuss. Zhao Yunjing had achieved her goal and asked for nothing more, while Gu Yuchu's expression became uncontrollably solemn.

"The concubine of Xirong spoke in dialect with you. Who knows that you are not from Baise and cannot understand Baise's language. You were afraid that your identity would be exposed, so you killed her to silence her." Gunnanxi County Commander was very smart and quickly understood Zhao Yunjing's words. The implication is that he continues to argue with reason.

"Princess, I have not offended you. Why do you think about my death?"

Gu Yuchu did not explain too much, but said something about Gun Nanxi's grievance, and knelt down to ask Emperor Ming to make the decision.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I did have a good time with the concubine of Xirong over wine, and I also took her to visit Shanqing Palace and introduced the folk customs of Dongqi. After that, we drank the wine brought by the maid and she said that she needed to serve Shanyu, and we I left, and all of you here can testify. After that, I watched the fireworks in the corridor, and the princess’s brazen fight can prove my alibi! Please make the decision for your daughter-in-law!”

Emperor Ming listened carefully to their argument, and looked ugly but did not get angry or respond. Princess Nanxi was overjoyed when she saw that the situation was more favorable to her, and then attacked her.

"You pretended to be on good terms with Xirong's concubine, but actually you found the right opportunity to attack her. Gu Yuchu, you are so cruel."

"You have ulterior motives!" Gu Yuchu retorted with sideways eyes, a loud voice and a very magnanimous heart.

But then the panicked news from He Heguo's escort made her feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, the little palace has disappeared. I have searched the entire Shanqing Palace and found nothing. I asked the officer in the corridor about his duties. He said, he said..." He and the guards seemed to know about the important events in this palace, and they hesitated to say anything. end.

"What did you say?" Le Jia Huanyu took a few steps forward, turned pale and asked in panic.

"It was said that His Highness was talking to Princess Qin in the corridor before he disappeared, and he was never seen again after that."

At this time, everyone exploded and started whispering. Gun Nanxi was even more proud, and he was sure that this review would make him unable to fly.

"Shut up!" Emperor Ming disliked the noise and ordered, and the palace suddenly became quiet again.

Anuda was so angry that he opened his eyes with a ferocious beard and jumped up. He was about to strangle Gu Yuchu's neck in an instant. At that moment, Qi Zhe stood in front of the woman and stopped her.

"Chan Yu forgives me, but conviction requires evidence. Before the truth is found out, she is still my Qin Princess of Dongqi." Qi Jian protected Gu Yuchu and said respectfully but politely.

"Chanyu, please calm down. I will find out the truth about what happened today, find out the real culprit, and bring justice to Xirong and Hehe. If it was really done by Princess Qin, I will let Xirong, Hehe handle it and I will never tolerate it."

Emperor Ming didn't want to make the situation more ugly, so he could only temporarily endure his anger and open his mouth to mediate.

"To show fairness, King Qin, King Ning, and King Rong should avoid suspicion. King Hong, I will leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly. Take down the maid serving the wine and the guard in the corridor for questioning. Princess Qin is still under suspicion. For the time being, Tuck in the prison."

"Dong Qi must give me an explanation within three days!"

Seeing that Emperor Ming had made clear arrangements, Anuda was not afraid of another attack, so he immediately hugged Bu Rong's body and left with the Xirong delegation.

He Heguo and his party also had no intention of having a banquet, so they also left, and the banquet broke up unhappy.
