The Queen is no match for Concubine Zhao, and Prince Mo is no match for Prince Rui. It has long been clear who wins and who loses. Now, most of the courtiers in the court have begun to take sides. If the Liu family does not make the right move this time With this choice, hundreds of members of the family may end up in a dead end. Her personal grudges are nothing compared to the interests of the family. - Halfway through the banquet, many people began to move around, greeting each other and toasting. The atmosphere was lively. At that moment, a palace official suddenly came in with a pale face, ran staggeringly and knelt down in front of the Emperor and Concubine Zhao. "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao, something serious has happened. A palace official found someone in the lake in the Imperial Garden. There is a dead body..." As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. The emperor's face was extremely ugly. Concubine Zhao was so frightened that her body trembled and she threw herself into his arms. Her eyes were full of grievances and she held on tightly. The emperor's sleeves: "Your Majesty, who is so bold and dares to commit murder in the harem? And he also deliberately chose the day of my concubine's birthday. It's my birthday, and such an unlucky thing happened. Wow, my concubine. I'm so scared..." The emperor's eyes were full of pity. He patted Concubine Zhao on the shoulder and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, I will find out the murderer and vent my anger for you, Wan'er. How dare I do this on your birthday? At the banquet, he killed people so blatantly, I simply didn’t take him seriously."

"Zhou Tong, this case will be investigated by you. No one attending the palace banquet tonight will be allowed to leave until the murderer is found."

Zhou Tong took the order and came out, knelt down and responded: "I accept the order and will definitely find the real murderer..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xuanrui followed him out of the queue. He cupped his fists and bowed and whispered: "Father Your Majesty, at the birthday banquet of my mother and concubine, such an unlucky thing happened. I am very angry and angry. Why don't I leave this case to you and Mr. Zhou to jointly try it..." The Emperor nodded slowly. He responded: "Okay, then Prince Rui will be in charge, and Zhou Tong will be in charge. I will give you one night, and you must get to the bottom of this matter."

After the emperor finished his instructions, he took the lead to protect the frightened Concubine Zhao and left. The remaining guests were led by palace officials and temporarily lived in the palace. The banquet finally ended in this way. Yun Luan was arranged to Chunhua Palace is not a gorgeous palace, but it is not too simple either. It can barely accommodate people. There are two eunuchs guarding the entrance of the palace. Without the permission of King Rui and Zhou Tong, none of the detained guests can After leaving the palace, Yun Luan found an armchair and sat down. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter might not be simple... As she was thinking, footsteps came from the door of the palace. "This servant pays homage to His Highness the King of Banquets..." Xiao Ting gave a speech. Ran stepped in from outside the door. The two eunuchs at the door did not dare to stop him from entering. Yun Luan stood up and looked at Xiao Tingyan. "My lord, why are you here?"

"I have been paying attention to you all night, and you haven't touched any food on the banquet floor... By this time, you must have been hungry, right?"

Xiao Tingyan was holding a food box in his hand and smiled at her. Yun Luan was startled, and a warm feeling surged through her heart. She was about to shake her head and say she wasn't hungry, but she suddenly heard a gurgling sound from her stomach. His cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Xiao Tingyan couldn't help but laugh. He put the food box on the dining table and waved her over to eat. "Don't be polite to me... You are my fiancée. If I can take care of you as my fiancée, No, what kind of prince is that?"

Yun Luan was not one to be coy, so she said thank you, walked over, and sat down opposite Xiao Tingyan gracefully. Xiao Tingyan opened the food box and brought out a plate of mung bean cake, and two bowls of hot and white mist. The fragrant smell of egg noodles caught Yun Luan's breath, causing the greedy bugs in her stomach to escape completely. In order to prevent someone from plotting against her at the palace banquet, she stopped eating, not even a bite. She didn't even dare to drink water. Now that she was being detained here again, she thought she would spend the night hungry, but to her surprise, Xiao Tingyan had noticed that she hadn't eaten. Yun Luan looked at the two bowls of egg noodles, her eyes slowly turning. The ground was covered with mist... Xiao Tingyan brought a bowl of egg noodles in front of her and handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Eat while it's hot... I didn't dare to eat at the dinner, so I was hungry too. .”

As he spoke, he held his chopsticks and lowered his head, picked up the long noodles and started eating. Yun Luan held her chopsticks and stared blankly at Xiao Tingyan's profile... Under the dim light, his face was very delicate and handsome. It was so beautiful and delicious, so intoxicating. A bowl of egg noodles completely warmed her empty and cold belly. Xiao Tingyan made another cup of hot tea and handed it to her. The plate of mung bean cake was also pushed to her In front of Yun Luan. "Keep this mung bean cake for when you get hungry..." Yun Luan held the tea cup and drank the tea silently. She really wanted to ask why he treated her so much. So good? But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them. Xiao Tingyan took a sip of warm tea and said slowly: "Do you know who the dead body in the lake is?"

Hearing this, Yun Luan slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Tingyan. "Who is it? Do you know some inside information?"

Xiao Tingyan was noncommittal. Over the past twenty years, he had placed countless informants in the palace. "The deceased is Su Xiaoxue... The cause of death seems to be suffocation. If nothing happens, someone will announce your death soon." Ask questions.”

Yun Luan raised his eyebrows, a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Su Xiaoxue died? Asphyxia? Did someone strangle her to death?"

Xiao Tingyan nodded, his expression a bit solemn. "I suspect that Su Xiaoxue's death may be a conspiracy. Aluan, I'm afraid you will be in trouble tonight, so be mentally prepared."

At this moment, Yun Luan had regained some of her composure. She sneered, with a hint of ridicule flashing through her eyes. "Before entering the palace, I had already predicted that this would be a Hongmen Banquet. My enemy, but It’s not just Zhao Guifei and Xiao Xuanrui... But do they think they can win with certainty and force me into a desperate situation? As everyone knows, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. King Banquet, once I am taken away, what happens next is up to you. .”

Xiao Tingyan placed the tea cup in his hand on the desk. "Don't worry, I know what to do."
