After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

This was Qiao Niannian's first time attending a palace banquet. Huo specially assigned her nanny to accompany Qiao Niannian to prevent her from doing something wrong.

On the way, Huo kept comforting Qiao Niannian and told her not to be nervous.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate.

The next journey requires everyone to walk to the Royal Garden.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a banquet in the Imperial Garden. In addition to song and dance performances, there were also opera troupes singing in the palace. After the dinner, they could also enjoy the fireworks. This made Qiao Niannian a little bit looking forward to it.

Huo took Qiao Niannian for a while and separated from Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu is going to meet the Queen Mother with Qiao Yueying, and then go to the banquet.

This is also a kind of grace.

Huo and Qiao Niannian didn't need to go there unless they were summoned.

Qiao Niannian thought this was good. After all, she had to bow to the Queen Mother when she met her. Moreover, the Queen Mother still didn't know that her savior was not Qiao Yueying, so she had a very bad attitude towards her mother.

If they really went to see the Queen Mother, they would only suffer a loss.

The journey from the palace entrance to the Imperial Garden is not short.

Huo was used to walking, and Qiao Niannian was a practitioner. This distance was nothing to her.

The two people soon arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Several ladies who were familiar with Huo came over. Huo took Qiao Niannian around and introduced them to everyone. Qiao Niannian was really not good at dealing with these elders, so she made an excuse. Left the party.

She planned to go to the Royal Garden for a stroll.

Anyway, the maids and eunuchs are waiting here, so there won't be any problems. Huo didn't stop her, she just asked the nanny who was following Qiao Niannian to keep an eye on Qiao Niannian.

Qiao Niannian didn't care, left the banquet and went straight to a secluded corner.

She likes quietness and is somewhat uncomfortable with lively environments.

It's just that she was hiding quietly, but she didn't expect that there was already someone in this place.

Qiao Niannian originally planned to leave, but when she left, she glanced at the other party's face and couldn't help but stop.

This person's seal was black and dark, and he was obviously in danger of death!

But the other person's appearance is correct, his eyes are clear, and his body is shining with blessings and wealth, especially wealth, which is particularly obvious. This person should often deal with money.

Qiao Niannian thought for a while. Most of the people attending the banquet this time were officials and powerful people. The only one at the banquet who dealt with money was probably the Du family of Jiangnan Weaving.

The Du family was an imperial merchant, and most of the brocade cloth used in the palace came from Jiangnan weaving and tribute.

So, this is the Du Heng who died early in the novel!

The person who really saved the Queen Mother was Du Heng's sister, Du Ruo.

But when they were dying, neither of them knew that the person Du Ruo saved was the current Queen Mother.

However, in the novel, Du Heng is still more than a month away from his death.

The reason is that the male protagonist in the book, the third prince, knows that Du Ruocai was the one who saved the Queen Mother, and he feels that the existence of the Du family is a threat to Qiao Yueying.

So he asked his subordinates to find the ghost gate that helped people seek revenge in the world, and paid out 200,000 taels of silver to destroy the Du family.

In the novel, everything happens from Qiao Yueying's perspective.

So the scene of Du Ruo saving the Queen Mother was mentioned, and then the Du family was wiped out.

At first, Qiao Yueying was worried that the Queen Mother would discover her lies. Later, when she learned that the Du family was wiped out, Qiao Yueying breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when Qiao Yueying was with the third prince, the subordinates around the third prince accidentally revealed the whole story. Qiao Yueying's first reaction was to be moved.

She never knew that the arrogant third prince would quietly help her clean up the mess behind her back.

In addition to the Du family, there is the Mingyuan Hou Mansion. Everything Qiao Yueying did was not traceable. The General's Mansion almost found out the truth, but unfortunately the third prince dealt with it.

But this incident happened a month later. After all, according to the Kyoto in the novel, the third prince and Qiao Yueying have not yet met.

But Du Heng's fate will obviously be tonight.

Could it be that the plot has changed too much, causing a chain reaction?

Qiao Niannian thought for a moment, then took the initiative to walk up to Du Heng.

Du Heng wasn't resting here, he happened to be passing by and saw the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in bloom nearby.

Osmanthus fragrans can be seen everywhere on the streets in the south and is not that rare. But it is different in the north. Winters in the north are cold and there is no way for osmanthus fragrans to survive in the north.

There is an osmanthus tree in his house, which was planted by his father when he married his mother. It is blooming just right now. Because this relationship is different, he has also learned many ways to grow osmanthus.

When he just passed by the sweet-scented osmanthus in the Royal Garden, he saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus was blooming luxuriantly and its petals were bright. He was curious about how the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was raised. After seeing it, he missed the time.

If Qiao Niannian's arrival hadn't disturbed him, he might have remained silent.

It would be even more troublesome if we missed the emperor's palace banquet.

Especially the little girl in front of her looks soft, white and tender, making people couldn't help but warm their eyes just by looking at her.

What's more, the little girl looked at him, obviously having something to say, so he couldn't help but speak patiently.

"Little girl, what's the matter?"

When Qiao Niannian saw the other party asking, she was a little surprised at the other party's ability to observe words and emotions, but since the other party asked, she spoke directly.

"You are in danger of death!"

"Tonight."

"Based on your appearance, it may have something to do with what you brought today."

Du Heng:......

He has an active mind and a well-rounded mouth.

But he just didn't know how to answer Qiao Niannian's words!

He laughed dryly: "Who asked you to say these words?"

Although he was surprised that Qiao Niannian suddenly said this, he also felt that what a child knew was probably taught to him by others!

Qiao Niannian shook his head: "Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to take a closer look. If someone really tampered with it and angered the emperor, it would be a death penalty."

After saying that, Qiao Niannian turned and left.

Du Heng watched Qiao Niannian leave, when two people walked out from one side.

They were Du Heng's guards. They had just followed Du Heng, but they had stayed not far away and did not come forward.

But the conversation between Qiao Niannian and Du Heng still couldn't escape their ears.

Seeing Qiao Niannian leaving, he immediately walked to Du Heng's side.

"Master, do you need your subordinates to keep an eye on her?"

This little girl suddenly ran out, talking nonsense, maybe with some purpose.

Du Heng refused.

"No, send someone to keep an eye on our things. By the way, let Ruoruo wait outside the palace with our things and wait for summons at any time."

When the two people heard this, a flash of shock immediately flashed in their eyes: "Master, do you really believe what that little girl said? Judging from her age, she is only ten years old."

What's more, they are here to pay tribute, which is the case every year.

Now that we are in the palace, is it possible that someone is tampering with us in the palace?

If this is found out, will you die?
