Chapter Twelve: Birthday Banquet
The birthday banquet has entered into its theme step by step. The envoys and guests from various countries have taken their seats. Xiaoxiao and his party also walked through the main hall. Jingxuan ran to her side from a distance and looked at her, smiling happily and saying
"It's so beautiful." Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled mischievously. Prince Tang next to him said, "This must be Young Prince Jing." Only then did Jing Xuan focus on him. He was so polite.
Man, "Exactly, you are..." Jingxuan didn't know much about the envoys from these countries, and rarely interacted with them. They all lived in other courtyards, and he was not old enough to serve as King of Yan.
At an age when everything was taken care of, King Lao Yan wanted him to enjoy more of the beauty of his childhood and didn't want him to get involved very early, so he didn't know any princes, envoys or the like.
Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Prince Tang." Jingxuan heard this, knocked his head and said, "Oh, Prince Li Bing. Nice to meet you... Nice to meet you." After saying that, he bowed to him respectfully, "Brother Jingxuan
"There was a crisp sound from a distance. Looking along the sound, the fifth princess of Daxia, dressed in yellow, walked towards them. There were several maids beside her. When the fifth princess came to them, she was still
With an arrogant expression, Xiaoxiao could only look up at her. When Li Bing saw her, he also stepped back timidly. Maybe her arrogance shocked him. Li Bing, who was beside him, saw Li Bing's
In response, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Prince Li, this is my sister, the fifth princess of Daxia, Yunhui." After hearing this, he looked at the princess and saluted, "Princess Yunhui is polite." And this
The princess was really arrogant. She just rolled her eyes and looked at Jingxuan with a dazed smile. Jingxuan lowered his head helplessly, "Let's not stand here anymore, sit down." Xiaoxiao kept saying to her.
The fifth princess didn't have a good impression. She thought she could be so arrogant at such a young age. She thought of a good idea and wanted to make the princess angry. She hurriedly took Jingxuan's hand and said, "Brother Jingxuan, I want to talk to you."
You sit together." When the princess saw it, she hurriedly pulled her hand away and said, "Hey, who asked you to hold brother Jingxuan's hand?" Jingxuan saw this and immediately became angry, "Yue'er, let's go
." After saying that, she pulled Xiaoxiao up and walked forward. Yue'er turned around and made silly remarks to her from time to time, which made Mo Li and Li Bing beside her laugh happily, and made the fifth princess of Daxia stomp her feet in anger.
The prince walked in listlessly. Everyone present focused their attention on him. He looked decadent. He sat at the front without saying hello to anyone. When several of the emperor's brothers saw his arrival, they all looked up respectfully.
After saluting him, he also waved his hand to signal to sit down. At this time, Li Li looked around and confirmed that his subordinates were ready, then he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank with Prince Li, while General Yan
At this time, he was outside the main hall, waiting for the moment when something happened.
King Yan and the princess sat on their seats, looking at the guests in the hall. At this time, the guests stood up, raised their wine glasses, and shouted "Longevity, King Yan" together throughout the palace. The princess looked at Xiaoxiao and waved to her.
, motioning for her to sit next to her, Xiaoxiao looked at her doubtfully, and then looked at Jingxuan next to her, "Go, just go if mother asks you to sit there." Xiaoxiao came to her side step by step, looking at
She was such a gentle woman, flowing slowly like a clear river. She gently stroked Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Yue'er, why are you so beautiful today?" Xiaoxiao stared and blinked childlikely.
Eyes said, "I'm going to perform a stunning dance for my uncle today." When the princess and King Yan heard this, they both laughed happily, "Can Yue'er also dance?" Most of the guests who sat down followed suit.
King Yan laughed, and Xiaoxiao looked at them doubtfully, why couldn't Yue'er dance?
The birthday banquet officially started. Xiaoxiao sat next to the princess and looked at the couple. She felt like her parents in the 21st century. They respected each other, supported each other, loved each other, and were very warm. She got up and walked to the back hall.
, put on a red dress, and came to the main hall surrounded by many dancers. The pink clothes of the dancers were very easy to distinguish from her red, just like a blooming flower in the middle, she was Tingting in the middle
Standing tall, the guests in the palace cast their eyes in amazement. Her figure began to dance, and her sleeves were dancing in the air. King Yan held the princess's hand, looked at it in amazement, and asked the princess beside him, "Yue'er said this
What kind of dance is it?" "Jinghong Dance" "What a Jinghong Dance, so majestic and natural, such a wonderful dance, it's really amazing." The guests looked at this dance and also expressed their approval. When the prince saw her dance, he was astonished.
He was so drunk that he didn't expect that he could dance so beautifully at such a young age. He raised the wine glass in his hand and said to King Yan, "I wish your uncle a long life." King Yan stood up, picked up the wine glass and said in return, "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness," and drank it.
However, when Xiaoxiao's dance ended, everything changed. After drinking the glass of wine, the self-righteous prince vomited blood in his mouth, clutched his stomach, opened his eyes wide, pointed at King Yan and said, "
The wine...the wine...is poisonous." He was dead. When he saw the prince, Mo Li hurriedly ran to the side of the prince and shouted loudly, "Come here, come here, His Royal Highness... His Royal Highness..." In front of everyone, he shouted
Intoxicated in Xiaoxiao's dance, when he heard Mo Li's cry, he looked at the death of His Highness the Crown Prince in surprise. As today's master, King Yan was also stunned by this scene. Everyone knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had great feelings for Xia Xiao.
What kind of meaning does the emperor have? His death will change everything in Yanbei. His heart began to be agitated. He held the hand of the lady beside him tightly, and this gentle woman also felt it from his hand.
This time the situation was so serious that General Yan, who was guarding outside the hall, rushed in and surrounded the place tightly, not allowing anyone to leave.
Xiaoxiao looked at the prince lying on the ground, his face was blue, and the blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth was black. It turned out that people who were poisoned in ancient times were really like this. When he saw it, he turned his head to the side, and Li Li held her
Blocking behind his robe and signaling her not to look any further, Jingxuan quickly ran over and looked at all this, then at his father. Everything happened so suddenly. After looking around at the people around him, Li Li said
"His Royal Highness the Prince died of poisoning. No one here can leave. The palace will be sealed immediately and no one will be allowed to leave until the matter is investigated." At this time, some of the envoys from various countries could not sit still and were a little unconvinced.
"Why, these food and drinks are not made by us." Mo Li looked at them majestically and said, "You also know that my father likes His Highness the Crown Prince so much. His identity represents my father, Emperor Xia, and now
But he died inexplicably. What does this mean? I think you all should know. Therefore, from now on, no one is allowed to go out of the palace." Other princes, look at me, I look at you, no one can
Dare to make a sound, because usually many people would be dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince when he walks arrogantly. Who knows who he might offend. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of everyone, and General Yan quickly chased after the black shadow.
, there was an uproar in the main hall, King Yan patted the table and said, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet..." He, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, can feel that this matter is obviously directed at him. It's not that he doesn't understand,
This Xia Emperor thinks that his own brother has great achievements. Is his brother really cruel enough to get rid of him? No... no, after all, he conquered most of the country.
After a while, General Yan captured the person who flashed in front of everyone. He threw the assassin in front of everyone. Li Li pointed at him and said, "That was you just now? Did you kill the prince?"
"The assassin timidly looked at everything around him, fixed his gaze on King Yan, and said with cold sweat, "Prince Yan, I deserve to die. If they find out, I have no choice but to die to apologize." After saying that, he picked up the sword.
Stabbed into his heart. When King Yan heard this, he sat down on the chair again. It seemed that his guess was correct. Everyone looked at him in surprise. The envoys were also talking about it. Jingxuan
He ran to King Yan, supported King Yan who was about to faint, and said, "There must be something hidden in this matter. This person is not from our house at all." Li Li smiled slightly and said, "Jingxuan, although this person is not one of you.
But he might be a soldier of Yanbei. As far as I know, the soldiers of Yanbei will have a flying eagle with spread wings tattooed on their left arm. Come, tear open the clothes on his left arm and see if there is any
?" Several guards came over and tore off the assassin's clothes, and a flying eagle with spread wings suddenly appeared in front of everyone. At this time, King Yan was unable to refute, and it was obvious that everything was ready. Mo Li
With a wave of his hand, the guards surrounded Prince Yan, his wife and Jingxuan, and said, "Take everyone in the palace to the cells until the investigation is clear." Mo Li's order changed Yanbei's peaceful life, and also changed the relationship between Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao.
Jing Xuan's life, when Xiaoxiao and Jing Xuan walked into the cell hand in hand, she realized how much this young man needed her. Li Bing saw that Xiaoxiao was also taken away, and came to Mo Li and said, "
How can Xiaoxiao be taken away? What if he is injured?" Li Li looked at him fiercely. How could he not know that this was an order, and Xiaoxiao was only temporarily named. He looked at Li Bing and said, "Prince Li, this
This matter is our Daxia matter, and it seems to have nothing to do with you." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left. Li Bing looked at his disappearing figure quietly and shook his head helplessly, while the fifth princess of Daxia, after seeing all this
At that time, she looked at it stupidly without saying a word. Originally, she wanted to stop her, but this third brother was so majestic. This was the first time he saw such a serious expression on his face. She had to wait until the right time.
, she can save Jingxuan.
Everything has changed. The palace was sealed. Emperor Xia, who was far away in Shengjing Palace, did not feel happy at all after seeing the letter from Mo Li. Instead, he sat quietly on the dragon chair.
