Both of them smiled when they heard this. Xiao Jingyi was asking questions knowingly, to test whether they knew he had sent someone to do it.

Gu Jing'an said at the right time: "Your Highness, you don't know, this time is too dangerous. That group of thieves came for Jingxuan and dealt a ruthless blow. Thanks to Jingxuan's luck, he didn't Let the thief succeed. As for who did it, we really have no clue, but there are probably not many people who have such a deep hatred for Jingxuan. Sooner or later they will be found out, don't worry."

Gu Jingan deliberately emphasized the word "thief", just to make Xiao Jingyi disgusted.

Jamel Xiao heard Gu Jingan's intention and added fuel to the fire.

"Yes, my father has sent people to investigate. The results will be available soon. Fourth brother, you don't need to worry."

After listening to what the two of them said, Xiao Jingyi was a little unsure whether Gu Jingan's sinister-sounding words were meant for him.

But no matter what, his father has already intervened in this matter, and he is afraid that sooner or later he will be found out. It seems that he can't sit still and wait for death.

Xiao Jingyi kept his expression low and forced a smile: "That's good. Since father intervened, they will definitely not be able to escape."

Jamel Xiao smiled when he heard this, "Yes, fourth brother, I will never let go of anyone who dares to hurt me."

When Jamel Xiao said this, there was a fierce look in his eyes, which was very different from the usually gentle and gentle him.

This was obviously told to him, and Jamel Xiao was now sure that Jamel Xiao knew that he did it.

Before Xiao Jingyi could react, Xiao Qingning's voice came from behind.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, Gu Shizi, what are you talking about?"

The three of them turned around after hearing this and saw Xiao Qingning and Lin Qingyao walking towards them.

Lin Qingyao stepped forward and bowed, "I have met your two highnesses, Prince Gu."

Jamel Xiao smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite, Miss Lin, Ning'er, just now the fourth brother was concerned about my injury, and by the way, he chatted a few words about the gang of thieves who assassinated me."

When Xiao Qingning heard about this, he immediately made a sign of anger, "I am angry when I mention this. Fifth brother, if those people are caught, they must be severely punished and must not be let go easily. Fourth brother, don't you think so?"

Xiao Qingning specifically asked Xiao Jingyi by name. With so many pairs of eyes looking at him, he could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

Xiao Jingyi reluctantly agreed: "Of course, these thieves are so audacious and must be severely punished. Yao'er, why did you come here with Ning'er?"

Xiao Jingyi wanted to change the topic as soon as possible, so he talked to Lin Qingyao on the side.

Lin Qingyao could naturally see Xiao Jingyi's intention, but it was now time and there was no need to deny him face.

After all, Xiao Jingyi is still smiling happily when he sees her now. After today's banquet is over, he may not be able to laugh again.

"We just met at the door. Ning'er took my daughter to have a few words alone, so we came over together."

Xiao Qingning knew that Lin Qingyao didn't want to tangle with Xiao Jingyi, so she interrupted Xiao Jingyi before she could reply.

"It's almost time. Let's go in. Father, the Queen, and the Queen should be here soon."

After Xiao Qingning finished speaking, she directly took Lin Qingyao's arm and entered the main hall.

"Please, fourth brother."

Jamel Xiao did not give Jamel Xiao a chance to speak again and directly invited him in.

Although Xiao Jingyi felt that these people today were weird, he didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he went straight into the main hall.

After sitting down, Lin Qingyao looked around. The people attending the banquet today were all high-profile people. Such an occasion was perfect for slapping Xiao Jingyi hard in the face.

Several high-ranking empresses have already taken their seats, and now they are just waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived."

Everyone present stood up and saluted to welcome the emperor and empress.

"See you, Your Majesty, the Queen. Long live my Emperor, and my Queen is a thousand lives, a thousand lives, a thousand lives."

The emperor and the empress sat on the high seat with the help of the palace servants. Xiao Chenyu said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat. There is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I am holding this banquet today to celebrate the safe return of my Fifth Prince Xiao Jingxuan and Xuanping Hou Crown Prince Gu Jing'an. During this trip to Qinan, the two of them not only investigated the truth about the dam collapse, but also collected information about several local corrupt officials. They were brought to justice based on the evidence that officials were corrupt and violated the law. Let us drink this cup together and celebrate the two of them."

After hearing this, everyone raised the wine glasses in front of them to celebrate the two of them.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to His Highness the Fifth Prince, and congratulations to Prince Gu."

Then it was time for Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan to accept the compliments from the ministers and concubines. They changed their ways to get compliments and compliments. Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan thanked them one by one and responded humbly.

Xiao Chenyu was very satisfied with the performance of the two of them this time. Hearing other people's praise of the two, he was naturally happy from ear to ear.

King Xiao Jingfeng of Qin was a little jealous of this. He thought it was a hard job, but he didn't expect that the fifth brother had some skills. Not only did he come back safely, he also made a great contribution.

An Wang Xiao Jingcheng didn't think so. Although he envied Jamel Xiao for his meritorious service, he knew that this merit was obtained at the cost of serious injuries, so he didn't want any of it.

Xiao Jingcheng is actually a very easy-to-satisfy person. He enjoys the life of a leisurely prince now. He has no worries about food and drink. He is very affectionate with the princess and lives very comfortably.

Therefore, he has no interest in the struggle for the throne at all. He never offends anyone. No matter who sits in that position, it should not embarrass him.

But Jamel Xiao has ambitions for the throne, but Jamel Xiao knows very well that he can't defeat the prince, so he keeps wooing him.

Among these brothers, he has a closer relationship with Jamel Xiao. In addition, he is soft-eared, so he is quickly persuaded by Jamel Xiao.

Not to mention Jamel Xiao, his teeth were almost broken when he saw everyone vying to compliment Jamel Xiao.

Lin Qingyao felt very relaxed when she saw Xiao Jingyi's expression, and whispered to Lin Qingwan: "Sister, look at Xiao Jingyi's expression. Brother Jingxuan just accepted a few compliments, and the anger in his eyes is about to burst out. coming."

Lin Qingwan smiled when she heard this, "Isn't it a bit too early for him to be angry now? He will still be angry later."

They both understood what the other meant and smiled at each other.

The banquet officially began, with everyone chatting and enjoying the singing and dancing.

After the two rounds of song and dance performances were over, the emperor and empress looked at each other and Zhou Menglin nodded.

Zhou Menglin stood up leisurely, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request. Xuan'er has made a contribution this time. I wonder if I can ask you for a favor on Xuan'er's behalf."

Zhou Menglin had already been angry with Xiao Chenyu about Jamel Xiao and Lin Qingyao, and today was just a formality in front of everyone.

Xiao Chenyu smiled when he heard this and said, "Of course, I love you, but it doesn't matter."
