Chapter 554 The Prince of Beiman, Invading the Harem
Jun Lingyun saw Kitano Hongming staring at the empty wine glass in his hand, his eyes straightened, and he spoke leisurely.
"Prince Beiye, don't worry. Since I already know that you Northern Barbarians are not good at drinking, I won't let anyone prepare strong alcohol today."
After hearing this, Kitano Hongming's dizzy symptoms seemed to have disappeared.
He then calmed down and put down his wine glass uncomfortably. Why were the Northern Barbarians not good at drinking? It was obvious that that wine was something that most people could drink.
If it weren't for the purpose of exploring Mu Qier's whereabouts, why would he bother himself and get entangled with this group of glib people from Yunxiao Kingdom?
"I just saw how beautiful this wine glass was, so I took a few more glances."
"Since Prince Beiye likes it, then give it to Prince Beiye as a souvenir and take it back to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom."
Jun Lingyun looked at Eunuch Fu who was waiting on the side.
"Eunuch Fu, when the banquet is over, don't forget to pack it up for Prince Kitano to take away."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have written it down."
Eunuch Fu deserves to be shouted out, Kitano Hongming is already trembling with anger. He is a dignified prince of a country, and he is not here to beat the autumn wind!
He came to the Yunxiao Palace to attend a palace banquet and even took away a wine glass. If this word spread, where would he put his face?
Kitano Hongming has never loosened his clenched fists since he entered this hall. However, he still has to remain calm on his face.
"That's not necessary. A gentleman doesn't take what others like! I'm just looking at it."
"It's okay, I don't like things that others have used."
The courtiers picked up their tea cups one after another and covered their lips with their sleeves, as if they were drinking tea, but in fact they were snickering.
It was really satisfying when the emperor's poisonous tongue was not aimed at them.
This is blatant disdain! This is forced upon me! All I have to say is: If you don’t take it away, I will throw it away.
Kitano Hongming felt that his heart was about to explode because of Jun Lingyun.
This is the first time in his life that he has met someone like Jun Lingyun, who speaks mercilessly and acts unconventionally.
Kitano Hongming raised his head and drank another glass of wine. For the sake of food and to find Mu Qier, he endured it!
Now that it was over, the courtiers toasted in groups of twos and threes, and Kitano Hongming refused to accept anyone who came. As the saying goes, one drink can solve a thousand worries.
After three rounds of drinking, Kitano Hongming's eyes were blurred, and he stood up and clasped his fists a little tipsily.
"Your Majesty Yunxiao, please forgive me. I'm a little dizzy. Can you allow me to take a nap?"
Jun Lingyun did not refuse his request.
"Come here, take Prince Kitano to the side hall to rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A young eunuch took the order and stepped forward to lead the way.
Kitano Hongming's steps were frivolous, as if he had drunk too much. When he arrived at the side hall, he lay down on the couch and said in a hoarse voice:
"Can you help me get a bowl of hangover soup?"
"Yes, Prince Kitano, wait a moment."
When he heard the footsteps disappearing, Kitano Hongming sat up again, took out a face towel and tied it behind his head. His eyes were clear and not blurry at all.
In the palace, a dark shadow flashed past.
In the main hall, Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi looked at each other and smiled.
In the harem, because there was no one living there, everything was dark. Kitano Hongming only saw candlelight swaying in one palace. He narrowed his eyes and went over with confidence.
There were guards guarding the main entrance of the palace, so he flew up to the roof, gently took away a piece of tile, and looked into the palace.
He saw a woman with a big belly taking a bath. Although it was blocked by a screen and couldn't see clearly, he still felt nervous.
This isn't Mu Qier. Why are there other women in Jun Lingyun's harem? Aren't they all dismissed by Chu Yunxi?
Could it be that Jun Lingyun is hiding her beauty in the golden house?
"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Kitano Hongming was about to withdraw when the surrounding lights suddenly became brighter and a circle of torches was lit, surrounding him.
"The daring thief actually spied on Concubine Rong taking a bath, and then he was arrested without hesitation?"
Princess? Oops! You fell into a trap! Kitano Hongming is not a fool, how could he not react until now? He understood his situation almost immediately.
The reason why he was able to leave the side hall where he was taking a rest so easily was because Jun Lingyun deliberately let things slip.
Kitano Hongming got angry and ran, but as soon as he reached the end of the roof, he saw Qing Feng already waiting there. Behind him, Jun Lingyun's attendants were also approaching.
When he entered the palace for a banquet, he had no weapons, but the emperor's attendants were able to carry swords.
The two sides exchanged dozens of moves in an instant.
All of Jun Lingyun's men were trained on the battlefield with him. Their swords were sharp and there were no false moves.
Although Kitano Hongming's kung fu was not bad, his two fists were no match for his four hands. He was shocked when he saw the sword coming towards his vitals.
Did Jun Lingyun really want to treat him as an assassin and kill him on the spot?
He, the crown prince of a country, came to visit and died in the palace of Yunxiao Kingdom. Wasn't Jun Lingyun afraid that he would not be able to explain to the Northern Barbarians and other countries?
But the situation no longer allowed Kitano Hongming to think too much. He was surrounded by masters, and by accident, he was struck by a sword in the crook of his leg.
"Stop! Stop! I am the crown prince of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Kitano Hongming hurriedly took off his face scarf, fearing that if he was too late for a second, he would get another embarrassment.
Even so, a sword had already reached his throat.
Kitano Hongming's heart was in his throat. Fortunately, the owner of the sword, Qing Feng, stopped just when the tip of the sword was just a millimeter away from his neck.
"Prince Kitano? Our emperor kindly hosted a banquet for you, but you actually broke into the harem secretly and peeped at our Princess Rong bathing. What do you want?"
"I, I got lost because I was drunk and confused."
Kitano Hongming was in shock. He was really close to dying here.
In a panic, I couldn't find a better explanation, so I could only use the excuse of being drunk.
"Assassin? Who sent the assassin? Have you caught him? Ah, ah! Ah~"
"Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong is about to give birth! Go to the imperial doctor quickly. Hurry!"
Concubine Rong was frightened by the assassin sounds and the bright torches, and she was about to give birth.
Kitano Hongming heard the chaos of war and chaos at his feet, and his heart felt like thousands of horses galloping past.
Concubine Rong? Didn’t you call her Concubine Rong just now?
The co-author is an unpopular concubine who was forgotten here by the Supreme Emperor and was not even called a concubine.
Wasn't that "Toffee" called specifically for him?
But how could it be such a coincidence that he took one look and realized that Concubine Rong was about to give birth?
If something happened to her, she would be even more confused.
Kitano Hongming's mind was changing rapidly when he heard Qingfeng say:
"Prince Kitano, please wait with me."
Kitano Hongming had no choice but to fly back to the ground surrounded by Qing Feng and his attendants.
As soon as I stood firm, I heard the little eunuch singing:
"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
Jun Lingyun supported Chu Yunxi and got off the sedan. A group of ministers followed behind him.
Jun Lingyun wanted Concubine Rong to give birth in full view of the public. In this way, no matter how good she was and whether she could give birth safely, he and Chu Yunxi would not be criticized by the world.
Jun Lingyun looked at Kitano Hongming who was surrounded by his attendants.
When Kitano Hongming saw this battle, he knew something was wrong. It seemed that he was here to take the blame today.
"Emperor Yunxiao, please listen to my explanation. This is all a misunderstanding. I am..."
