Shen Mi was well aware that in the situation at Fanlou at that time, if Murong Che did not let Shen Yu go, Shen Yu would have one leg chopped off.

Now, if Murong Che lets his father go, his father will be questioned by the Crown Prince and the Queen.

dilemma.

Thinking of this, Shen Mi said: "Sister, if they doubt, let them doubt."

"Dad is the Marquis of Pingyang. They shouldn't be so bold."

In his previous life, Marquis Pingyang was executed, which was more than two years ago, so it would be difficult for something to happen so early.

Having said that, Shen Mi was still unsure.

The carriage slowly arrived at the palace gate, and the Shen Mi sisters got off the carriage.

As soon as his front foot landed on the ground, Shen Mi felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

She looked back and saw that person was Wen Yue.

Wen Yue had a sinister look on his face and glared at her viciously.

Yes, Xiao Jue had his tendons in his hands and feet cut and his tongue cut off by Murong Che, and from then on he became a complete useless person.

Xiao Jue had always been following Wen Yue like her follower.

Now that the follower is gone, Wen Yue naturally feels unhappy and blames all the hatred on Shen Mi.

Shen Mi ignored her and continued to walk into the palace holding Shen Li's hand.

On His Majesty's birthday, there was an endless stream of young men from noble families and ladies from wealthy families coming and going.

Soon, the entire hall was packed with people who came to attend the birthday banquet.

Not long after everyone sat down, the eunuch's voice was heard.

"Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen has arrived, and the Crown Prince has arrived."

Everyone in the hall quickly stood up and saluted the three of them.

"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty."

"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Long live the prince, long live the prince."

The emperor was helped to sit on the high seat. He looked around but did not see Murong Che.

He said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, please stand up. There is no need to be so reserved today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and sat back in their chairs.

After Emperor Ren De sat down on the high seat, he lowered his eyes and glanced at where the princes were sitting, confirming again that Murong Che had not come.

He lowered his head and said to the eunuch Zhang beside him: "Why hasn't Prince Rui come yet?"

Eunuch Zhang leaned over to his ear and said, "It will probably be here soon."

"Your Majesty, I have just sent someone to invite the Emperor. Although the Emperor is not feeling well, he still agreed to come."

Emperor Ren De nodded slowly. "That's good."

Everyone was eating fruits and vegetables, knowing that the banquet had not yet begun because everyone was not present.

The most honorable emperor of Dayan did not come, and Prince Rui Murong Che did not come either.

Even the envoys from various countries who were supposed to enter Yanjing yesterday had not arrived, so everyone had no choice but to lower their heads and eat.

Shen Mi lowered her head to drink tea and looked around, but did not see Murong Che.

She frowned, "Could it be that he is going to do something again?"

After a while, the eunuch at the door loudly said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui has arrived."

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the noisy noise in the hall suddenly became much quieter.

When everyone looked up, they saw a man in black, with a thin waist and full of evil spirit, walking in from outside the hall.

Murong Che is careless, indifferent, unruly, yet evil and dangerous.

Murong Che walked into the lobby and glanced over, seeing Shen Mi.

He sat down directly at his seat, not paying any attention to the eyes around him.

The arrogant aura made Emperor Ren De, who was holding a wine glass in his high seat, twitch his lips.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw King Rui sit down.

Everyone continued to eat, and after a while, the eunuch's voice was heard outside again. "The emperor has arrived!"

As the eunuch's voice fell, a white-haired old man in his sixties or seventies, dressed in bright yellow clothes, walked slowly into the hall with the support of several palace maids and eunuchs.

Everyone in the hall immediately stood up and knelt in greeting.

"Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

The emperor had a calm expression, and although he was old, he still looked dignified.

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did everyone get up.

Emperor Ren De came down from his high seat and went with the empress to support the retired emperor.

The retired emperor was supported by everyone as he walked up to the high seat. When he passed by Murong Che, he turned his head and glanced at him.

Although Murong Che was wearing black, there was a small amount of blood on the jade belt around his waist.

He said, "You came so late, I'm afraid you did something again and shed a lot of blood, right?"

Murong Che leaned lazily on the chair and said with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of if a little blood bleeds?"

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Be more restrained."

Everyone held their breath and listened to the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, and took a deep breath.

After the emperor took his seat, everyone in the hall slowly took their seats.

At this moment, the prince in his seat clenched his fists when he saw Murong Che's arrogant look.

When the retired emperor came in, the first person he noticed was Murong Che. He didn't even ask a single question to the crown prince, nor did he even look at him.

He seemed to have gotten used to it over the years.

The guests took their seats, except for the envoys from various countries who had not yet arrived.

Everyone was very curious about what this Li countryman looked like. After a moment, the eunuch's loud voice was heard again outside the hall.

"The fifth princess and the seventh prince of Li Kingdom have arrived."

"The Third Prince of Beili has arrived."

Everyone looked up and saw a group of people slowly walking towards them from outside the hall.

The woman among them has a graceful figure and delicate face.

A pink satin dress with gold embroidery on the sleeves and collar.

She wears a golden hairpin with nine-spreading phoenix wings on her head, and her every frown and smile is bright and charming. This person is Luo Qingwan, the fifth princess of Li Kingdom.

Two men followed behind him, one of whom was wearing a golden robe and looked about twenty years old.

The man had an ordinary appearance. He was the seventh prince of the Li Kingdom, Luo Yuzhou.

The other man was dressed in white, with his hair half hanging down, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a faint smile on the corners of his lips. He was truly a handsome man.

Shen Mi had seen this man in his previous life. He was Wei Lingjun, a famous saint in Li State and one of the four great princes.

In the previous life, because of Wei Lingjun, Dayan lost face and the third princess was sent to Liguo to marry.

This Wei Lingjun claimed that his chess skills were invincible and he had never met an opponent.

On the other side, there was a man in royal blue clothes, about twenty years old, holding a folding fan in his hand. He was tall and had a calm face. He was Xiao Ziyan, the third prince of Beili.

Luo Qingwan stepped forward and saluted to Emperor Rende who was on the high seat: "Greetings to His Majesty the Great Yan."

"Today is your majesty's birthday. My seventh brother and I are here on behalf of my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen, to wish you great blessings and a long life."

The Third Prince of Beili said, "I come here on behalf of Beili to wish Your Majesty everlasting health, wealth and prosperity, and eternal youth."

The emperor smiled and said, "Today is my birthday. Since you have come from afar, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

The eunuchs then led the few people to the envoys' seats and they sat down.

Shen Mi sat in her seat, peeling peanuts and melon seeds, her eyes fixed on the face of the fifth princess of Li State.

She always felt that the face of the Fifth Princess of Li Kingdom was very aggressive.

The elder sister said that when the Fourth Master left the Imperial Palace, it was she who tied his hands and feet with iron chains and locked him in an iron cage.

I didn't expect that such a beautiful woman could be such a vicious person.
