"!"

The king of Xiangyang said that he intended to put pressure on the emperor's court. Qin Ce's pupils shrank, and his heart, which had been relaxed just now, seemed to be clenched by a strong force, which almost suffocated him in an instant.

Turning his head subconsciously, Chu Huaiqing's figure was right in front of him. However, looking carefully from Qin Ce's angle, the man in white was still slow, and even the slight curvature of the corner of his mouth did not disappear.

It seems that King Xiangyang is just asking an ordinary question.

The heartstrings suddenly loosened.

However, no matter whether Chu Huaiqing really has a way to deal with it, Qin Ce could not continue to remain silent when King Xiangyang targeted Chu Huaiqing, stood up and handed over the topic, and took over the topic.

"Uncle Huang, you don't know something. Mr. Chu didn't deliberately hide it. The reason why he put on a mask is..." At this point, he suddenly frowned and stopped talking.

King Xiangyang smiled: "What is it?"

Qin Ce finally continued with 'difficulty': "It's because of a disaster that happened many years ago..." He stopped cleverly again, showing embarrassment and sadness, leaving room for others to imagine.

Everyone really frowned, silent.

Seeing Qin Ce misleading others without blushing, Chu Huaiqing felt ashamed, but also thought with admiration in his heart that the country really owed his lord an Oscar for Best Actor.

But Chu Huaiqing also knew that this move could not fool King Xiangyang.

There is nothing wrong with Qin Ce's performance. If a normal person hears this, even if he is curious, out of politeness, he will generally not ask further questions.

It's a pity that King Xiangyang has never been within the range of normal people.

After listening to Qin Ce's words, King Xiangyang raised the corners of his lips, shook his wine glass, and still looked at Chu Huaiqing with a nonchalant smile: "After the third highness said this, this king is even more curious. Is there someone who caused misfortune to Mr. Chu?"

A simple sentence subverted the right and wrong that Qin Ce wanted to express.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and they all made eye contact. If they understood what Qin Ce said in a different way, the words of King Xiangyang were not unreasonable.

Seeing the probing curiosity of the people present was aroused again, Qin Ce's hand on his side was slightly clenched into a fist, and he sized up the guests present without any trace.

It may not be impossible to continue to deal with the King of Xiangyang, but if the King of Xiangyang orders with force, Chu Huaiqing still has to take off his mask. This is not like the glass of poisoned wine before, which can be easily avoided.

Now it is a family banquet, and no ministers are invited. It is a blessing that the biggest threat, the Duke of Chu, is not among them. The eldest prince, who had assumed the position of the crown prince, simply engraved Chu Huaiqing into his bones with hatred.

It seems to be unavoidable.

Prepared for the worst outcome, Qin Ce took a breath, thinking about the escape route that would allow Chu Huaiqing to survive.

"Your Highness."

With a soft call, Qin Ce's frowning brows were easily smoothed away.

Chu Huaiqing glanced at him with gratitude in his eyes, and his voice was soft: "You don't have to hide it for your subordinates."

Qin Ce: ...?

I don't know which play my husband is planning to act in, but Qin Ce's face is extremely cooperative with a look of sadness: "Mr. Chu..."

Chu Huaiqing put his palm on the mask, and sighed softly: "For a man, it doesn't matter if his face is completely ruined or ugly. The grassroots really shouldn't hide it." As soon as the words fell, The mask has been taken off by Chu Huaiqing.

Finally seeing Chu Huaiqing's true face, everyone couldn't help but gasp, even King Xiangyang's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help shaking violently.

Fair complexion, regular facial features, clear eyes, if not for the several scars that run through it, this should be such a handsome and beautiful face, but now because of the ferocity of the scars, it adds a terrifying look that is hard to face color.

Staring at those scars, Qin Ce felt as if he was facing the collapse of the sky and the earth, and his mind was full of question marks in the spiral of the storm.

What happened to Mr.'s face! ?

What are these injuries! ?

Obviously it was fine when he secretly took it off a few days ago!

Realizing that something was wrong, Qin Ce inhaled and exhaled and inhaled again, forcing himself to calm down.

What you see may not be true, these scars may be an illusion deliberately created by Mr.

But he has not seen Mr. for several days, if Mr. really had an accident during this time...

If these injuries are real...

Sir...how much pain should it be?

Surrounded by the suddenly disgusted eyes of others, Chu Huaiqing smiled indifferently, but the only one who cared seemed to be on the verge of going berserk and then suddenly turned off, and put on a subtle expression that he couldn't figure out, Chu Huaiqing doubted Frowning lightly, he asked Emperor Qian Ning, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Caomin can put on the mask now?"

Emperor Qian Ning had already looked away, frowning and waving his hands: "Hurry up and put it on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, he put it on again leisurely.

Originally thought that the handsome young man with outstanding talents was an ugly man whose appearance was completely ruined. Many people lost interest in further investigation.

King Xiangyang took a sip of his drink, as if he didn't intend to speak. Cao Yuan was called back to his side by Qin Ce. Qin Ce raised his eyes and looked at Chu Huaiqing again: "Sir, sit next to me."

The attendant quickly brought a cushion and placed it beside Qin Ce.

Chu Huaiqing responded, and sat safely beside Qin Ce. The moment he bent down, the hand under the table was suddenly clenched by the man beside him.

The two were very close, and there was a desk to cover it up. The attendants and Cao Yuanzu standing behind them could block the sight of others.

So Chu Huaiqing just froze for a moment.

Qin Ce looked straight ahead, with a serious look in his eyes, if Chu Huaiqing hadn't observed carefully, he might have overlooked it.

Chu Huaiqing shook his head very slightly.

When the boulder fell to the ground, Qin Ce obviously breathed a sigh of relief, but his hand was still tightly bound like iron tongs, and he didn't intend to let Chu Huaiqing go. The exposed appearance frightened Qin Ce, and he couldn't make a sound to comfort him, so he moved his fingers slightly and tapped Qin Ce's palm lightly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ce's grip was even tighter.

Thinking that the person next to him was the lord, Chu Huaiqing didn't resist much, and let it go, but he soon realized that the problem was that the person beside him was Qin Ce.

The warmth from the opponent's body penetrated from the palm to the surface of the body, and Chu Huaiqing's reflex arc, which was wandering outside, finally got on the normal track.

The person holding him...is the lord?

Chu Huaiqing tried to move, but he couldn't shake Qin Ce's hand strength at all, and the little bit of warmth became hot because of Chu Huaiqing's tense nerves, like a raging fire swept through, burning blazingly.

At this moment, Chu Huaiqing began to rejoice that she was wearing a mask and would not expose her flushed cheeks to everyone.

Halfway through the banquet, the King of Xiangyang seemed to be tired of watching dance music, resting his jaw with one hand, and lightly clasping the table with the other. Emperor Qianning suppressed his complicated expression, raised his hand and waved the dancing girl away, and looked at the princes present: "This time The reason why I asked the elder brother and all the younger brothers to come here is because the third, fourth and fifth younger brothers have reached the age of weak crowns, and they should perform the crowning ceremony as usual to confer the title of king."

The princes present at the scene stopped what they were doing at the same time. The eyes of the fourth and fifth princes flickered even more, with a bit of expectation. After taking a sip, he put the wine glass down again, without concealing the gloom in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Chu Huaiqing couldn't help but sighed. In the hall where he was clearly detained, there was the ambitious Xiangyang King sitting in it, but these princes only thought about flashy benefits, and none of them could be called a pillar. How can Sheng Qian be so angry.

He was not surprised to hear that the king was named, but Qin Ce looked at Emperor Qianning's haggard face, but thought that things might not be so simple.

Sure enough, Emperor Qian Ning did not announce the chief eunuch to come forward, but continued without energy: "However, because of the serious disaster, the preparations for the crown ceremony are still not in time, so I wronged you to wait for a while until the preparations are completed. Let's get down to business."

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but leaned over and said, "When will we have to wait?"

Emperor Qianning remained silent, while King Xiangyang gave the fourth prince a flat look: "It's not big or small, what are you talking about?"

Seeing the deep warning in King Xiangyang's eyes, the fourth prince opened his mouth slightly, and the two characters of house arrest finally gradually became clear in his mind, and his whole person immediately felt like facing a cold abyss.

"I think everyone is tired now, let's go back first, just be careful, don't walk around." Xiangyang King stood up first, his eyes flashed every prince's face with half-smiles, "The current world is not An Sheng, no one can guarantee absolute safety in the palace."

The princes couldn't help but shuddered.

After King Xiangyang left, the princes still did not move, as if they were not reconciled, and hoped that Emperor Qianning would say something to save them. Chu Huaiqing glanced at Emperor Qianning on the high seat, and gave Qin Ce a slap in the face. With a wink, Qin Ce nodded, and also got up to leave.

Emperor Qian Ning finally reacted, watching Qin Ce's leaving back closely, squirming his lips, but he hesitated to speak.

After turning a few turns and returning to the prince's residence when he was a child, before Qin Ce stepped in, he heard Chu Huaiqing murmur: "It's almost time."

Qin Ce: "What time?"

Cao Yuan stopped suddenly, dodged away in the blink of an eye, grabbed several guards who were following in the dark, and knocked him out three or two times.

Qin Ce: "..."

"Your Highness, come with me, hurry up." Chu Huaiqing grabbed Qin Ce's wrist.

Qin Ce's wrist moved, but he didn't try to break free: "Run away now?"

"No, go find Emperor Ning."
