Chapter 237 Hongmen Banquet

"I want to go back."

Song Baoling stood at the door and looked at the night sky, feeling a little depressed, "When I was at home, I always wanted to run out to see what it looked like outside, but now that I have left, I miss the capital again."

"I really hope that the matter here can be resolved as soon as possible, and then we will go home immediately without delaying it for a moment."

Seeing that she was homesick, Jun Tingsheng didn't know how to tell her what she was about to do, but the longer the matter was delayed, their situation would be unfavorable.

"Ling'er, I received the Marquis' secret letter today."

"You mean...Dad?"

Jun Tingsheng nodded, then took out the letter from his arms, "The Marquis said that in order to prevent the rebellion of Xianqi Kingdom, let us investigate their troops clearly before going back."

After reading the content in the letter, Song Baoling couldn't help but worry even more. Their situation is already difficult now. If they investigate the troops and deploy control, the difficulty will increase by more than double.

It's okay for her, after all, she is a daughter and will not attract too much danger, but Jun Tingsheng is different.

"What do you think?"

Jun Tingsheng was silent for a moment and said firmly: "From the current situation, there must be a war between the two countries, so it is not unreasonable for the Marquis to make arrangements in advance."

"Ling'er, leave it to me to investigate the troops. You just need to ensure your safety."

Song Baoling didn't want him to worry, so he smiled and nodded at him: "Well, we should work together inside and outside, finish these things early, and then go home together."

Somehow, when Jun Tingsheng heard the word "Go home", he felt as sweet as honey in his heart.

Two days later, Yemuna's health improved significantly. While chatting with the queen, he suddenly suggested holding a flower-watching banquet in the palace.

The queen is a flower lover. There have been so many things happening in the palace this month, and it is time to get lively.

"Flower viewing feast?"

Song Baoling had a wrong expression on his face, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and she didn't believe it was true until she saw Jun Tingsheng nodding.

"A man who is so proud and arrogant, has just broken his legs. How could he have the intention to hold a flower-watching banquet? In my opinion, the Hongmen Banquet is almost the same."

Jun Tingsheng chuckled, "What you said really makes sense. I heard that he also invited Yemuqi, Princess Linglong, and even the emperor and the queen were among them."

"So many people are on the banquet list, I guess what he wants to plan is not a trivial matter, we have to be careful."

The two of them had the same idea. At night, Song Baoling checked the recent things before going to bed. After finding that there was no problem, he fell asleep with confidence.

On the day of the flower viewing banquet—

In order to allow the emperor and nobles to enjoy the flowers with peace of mind, Yemuna ordered people to build an ornamental platform, and Shu Ning, as the future princess, also helped a lot.

"At first, I was worried that Shu Ning would not be able to adapt to the life of Xianqi Country. Now it seems that you have not only adapted, but also taken good care of the prince."

"Empress Xie praised her and Shu Ning just did everything with her heart, but she didn't know much about many things. In the future, she would have to trouble the empress to teach her a few."

"You are so smart, you must be able to do it with just one lesson, so don't be anxious."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yemuna was very satisfied and turned to the emperor and said, "Report to the emperor, my health has recovered most of my health. I want to marry Ning'er as soon as possible. I hope the emperor will allow it."

The emperor was worried that their marriage would not go smoothly and would affect the relationship between the two countries. Now Yemna took the initiative to mention the marriage, so naturally there was no reason not to agree.

"This is a good thing, I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yemna turned his head and looked at the person beside him. When his eyes met, Shu Ning lowered her head shyly.

Seeing this scene, Song Baoling felt a sense of worry. She was sure that Yemna did not really like Shu Ning, and even if she took the initiative to mention getting married, she would definitely have other purposes.

After the flower viewing banquet began, the people gradually dispersed and walked together in groups to see the flowers and plants in the garden.

"Sister Ling'er."

Linglong ran to Song Baoling happily, and took her hand regardless of her identity etiquette, "Let's go, I'll take you to know the flowers that know our Xianqi Country."

The two walked to the side happily. Jun Tingsheng was worried that Yemura would use a plan, so he kept staring at Song Baoling throughout the whole process, and followed them neither far nor near at this time.

When passing by the lake, everyone stopped to watch. There were many beautiful lotus flowers in the lake, and even goldfish ran out to play.

"Hey, who is that?"

"I can't see clearly, it seems... Concubine Lou?"

Song Baoling heard the three words "Concubine Lou" and immediately followed their eyes and saw Concubine Lou running quickly not far away.

More and more people saw Concubine Lou, including the emperor and the queen, but before they could speak, things changed.

For some reason, Concubine Lou walked straight to the lakeside, and then everyone remembered that her eyes could not be seen.

The next moment, Concubine Lou suddenly fell into the lake. She fluttered in the water with horror on her face and shouted for help from the air.

"Hurry! Save people..."

Someone shouted, and everyone realized that Song Baoling wanted to save the person himself, but as soon as she made a move, she was stopped by Jun Tingsheng quietly.

"You can't go."

Jun Tingsheng whispered softly, then comforted her: "Don't worry, the imperial concubine will be fine."

At this time, Song Baoling discovered that someone had already jumped out of the lake to save people, but that person...

Yemuqi?!

In an instant, Song Baoling suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at the queen and saw a faint smile on her lips, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Mother, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"

Yemuqi held the wet concubine Lou and asked anxiously, but Concubine Lou was just frightened and choked on the water in the lake again, and could not respond to him for a moment.

The crowd came to the mother and son. The emperor looked at Concubine Lou with a pale face with distress. He was about to step forward to care, but was interrupted by the queen.

"Concubine Lou, you were imprisoned in the cold palace for making a mistake. Why did you come out without authorization today?"

After hearing this, Concubine Lou, who was lying on the ground, stood up and knelt on the ground with trembling all over, "Go back to the Empress, I am not... I intend to leave the cold palace, I am..."

Before she could finish her explanation, the queen interrupted sternly: "No rules can lead to squareness, you should understand this principle."

"No matter what the reason is today, since you leave the cold palace privately, you must be punished!"

Yemuqi clenched his fists angrily, stepped forward and directly protected Concubine Lou behind him, and looked at the queen with a cold face, "Empress, my mother's eyes can't be seen. How could she come here from the cold palace alone?"

"There is something strange. Why don't the Empress wait until the matter is cleared before making a decision? Why should I be so anxious to punish my mother?"
