When Zhao Xun received the imperial edict, he was in a daze.

He thought that if this matter got to Li Yue, the other party would definitely worry about his safety, but he didn't expect that Li Yue would be impulsive and take a proton into the palace in a fit of anger.

"Third brother, you don't want to enter the palace?" Zhao Xiaowu asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I shouldn't." Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Xun knew that his identity was sensitive, and when he agreed to Li Yue's coming to the capital, he just wanted to find a place to settle down temporarily. As long as he kept a proper distance from Li Yue, he should not cause trouble to him.

But he didn't expect that Li Yue didn't intend to leave him alone in the capital from the beginning to the end, so the development of the matter exceeded Zhao Xun's expectation.

"Third Prince, there is still an hour to start the palace banquet hosted by His Majesty. Please change your clothes quickly and enter the palace with the officials." The person who came to announce the decree was Shen Xuan. Zhao Xun also made sense.

Zhao Xun looked out through a door, and thought that this Shen Xuan was quite trustworthy by Li Yue!

After a while, Zhao Xun changed his clothes and came out. He seemed to be in good health. Although it was nearly two months since the poisoning, his complexion still looked a little pale.

Coupled with the fact that he was wearing a light gray robe with wide sleeves, he did not have the temperament of a warrior at all, but looked like a frail scholar.When Shen Xuan saw him, he murmured in his heart, what is so good about this Zhao Xun, it deserves the little ancestor's protection.

But muttering to muttering, he was not negligent about what Li Yue ordered.

"Lord Shen, I have something to ask." Zhao Xun bowed slightly.

Shen Xuan was startled, and hurriedly said: "The third prince doesn't need to see outside, but it's okay to say."

Hearing this, Zhao Xun signaled Zhao Xiaowu behind him to take two steps forward, then still lowered his head and said to Shen Xuan: "Xiao Wu is my personal follower, he has been with me for several years, and he is like a brother to me. Since His Majesty wants me to go to the palace , I'm afraid it would be a little inappropriate for Xiao Wu to follow."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan looked at Zhao Xiaowu, who stood beside Zhao Xun with reddish eyes, apparently Zhao Xun had informed him of his decision just now.

Can Zhao Xiaowu not enter the palace?Of course, not to mention Zhao Xun bringing one entourage, even if he brought ten, Li Yue couldn't stop him from bringing him.

But Zhao Xun's move was a matter of posture. He entered the palace alone, which put himself at the lowest point. Even those who wanted to criticize Li Yue for this, they couldn't continue pestering him.

Shen Xuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Xun to be so considerate for Li Yue at this time.

"Third Prince, don't worry, I will arrange for this child properly, and I won't let him be wronged." Shen Xuan said.

Zhao Xun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Zhao Xiaowu also cupped his hands towards Shen Xuan, although he was reluctant, but not unwilling.He has been with Zhao Xun for so many years, and he has seen all the grievances the other party has suffered.He is obviously a prince with both civil and military skills, but his life is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Because of this, Li Yue's treatment of Zhao Xun is so precious.So no matter what Zhao Xun did for Li Yue, Zhao Xiaowu would accept it calmly, even if he was asked to die for Li Yue, he would not complain.

What's more, Zhao Xun's move also has another purpose, the road before he enters the palace is difficult and dangerous, if there is an emergency, Zhao Xiaowu can save his life outside the palace at least.

When Zhao Xun entered the palace, it was already dark.

Along the way, Zhao Xun kept his face sullen.Li Yue followed Shen Xuan to welcome him into the palace with the courtesy of a guest of honor, and set up a palace banquet to wash him away. There was such a big commotion, and he made it clear that he wanted to give Zhao Xun face.

Is Li Yue venting his anger on himself?

The servant led them all the way to Mingguang Pavilion, which was the place the emperor chose when he held important palace banquets.

After arriving at the entrance of the main hall of Mingguang Pavilion, the servant loudly said to the hall: "The third prince of the Great Xia Kingdom is here." Zhao Xun couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard this, the servant's move was obviously ordered by Li Yue, such a notification really gave him enough face .

Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the Mingguang Pavilion.

The banquet had already been set, and all the courtiers arrived, all eyes in the hall were on Zhao Xun for a while.

Li Yue was taken aback when he saw him, Zhao Xun's clothes were too plain, although it looked good, but the clothes were a bit less expensive.No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a prince, but like an idle scholar.

Li Yue got down from the main seat and walked towards Zhao Xun.Zhao Xun watched him getting closer and closer from a distance, the trace of uneasiness in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and calm.

Since this person has done this for him, why can't he do it for the other party?

Seeing that Li Yue was only one foot away from him, Zhao Xun suddenly took two steps back, knelt down towards Li Yue, kowtowed his head to the ground, and prostrated himself in front of Li Yue.

"May your Majesty be safe and secure." Zhao Xun said.

Li Yue didn't expect him to come out so suddenly, he almost didn't stop, and then stood in front of Zhao Xun in a daze, as if he didn't understand the situation in front of him.The courtiers were also taken aback, and after a brief silence, they began to whisper.

Since Li Yue cleansed Zhao Xun up with the ceremony of a guest of honor, then Zhao Xun came as the Third Prince of Da Xia, but now he is doing this big gift to Li Yue, obviously he still regards himself as Li Yue's captive.

"You..." Li Yue stretched out his hand to help him, but he took it back before reaching out.Zhao Xun obviously did it on purpose, he didn't accept his favor, and didn't intend to give him face.

"Get up." Li Yue said with a bit of coldness in his voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xun kowtowed again before getting up.

Li Yue looked at Zhao Xun with some inquiry, but the other party lowered his head dutifully and didn't look at him at all.Li Yue was suddenly a little depressed, which was completely different from what he thought.

"Give me a seat." After saying that, Li Yue turned around and returned to the main seat.

At this time, the servant led Zhao Xun to the seat on the left of Li Yue, which was next to the main seat, and it was usually the seat of the assistant minister during banquets, but now Li Yue reserved it for Zhao Xun.

"Your Majesty, this Zhao Xun dare not sit down. If Your Majesty does not give up, Zhao Xun please pour wine for His Majesty." Zhao Xun bowed.

All the people in the hall were discussing one after another, Li Yue looked at Zhao Xun, and felt that the depression in his chest was unbearable, and he wished to beat him on the spot to relieve his anger.However, Zhao Xun's gaze was firm, with a begging that was hard to refuse.

"Okay, I'm sure." Li Yue said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun hurriedly thanked Li Yue respectfully, then walked to Li Yue's seat and knelt down on his knees, took the jug and filled Li Yue's cup with wine.

The majestic third prince of the Great Xia Kingdom actually knelt down to pour wine for Li Yue at the banquet, which really gave Li Yue enough face.The courtiers present had different expressions. They were originally dissatisfied with Li Yue's pampering a proton minister, but now they couldn't say anything.

Li Yue's face was very gloomy, and without looking at Zhao Xun, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, the banquet officially began.

Zhao Xun knelt beside him all the time, his posture was like a slave trying to please his master, but his face was very calm, as if he was very devoted to what he was doing, and even enjoyed it.

Shen Xuan sat in the distance and looked at Zhao Xun, took a sip of wine silently, all doubts and suspicions about Zhao Xun were relieved.

How many men in the world can do this?To trample on all dignity and pride, without leaving any room or retreat, can be said to be cruel to oneself.

Shen Xuan didn't understand why Li Yue protected Zhao Xun so much, but now he understands.Because what Zhao Xun can do for Li Yue will never be less than what the other party can do for him.

Originally, according to Li Yue's actions today, tomorrow the entire capital will discuss "How Your Majesty will go to war for a proton".But Zhao Xun made such a move, and the topic of discussion tomorrow will become how to make fun of and sarcasm him.

Are these two people more open-minded than anyone else?

Li Yue, who wanted to fight it out but couldn't completely fight it out, drank too much.Of course, it was not only because of the "proton" Zhao Xun who helped pour the wine, but also because what Zhao Xun did tonight made him very upset.

He couldn't understand Zhao Xun's cautiousness and his behavior of deliberately emphasizing his "proton" status.He originally thought that Zhao Xun had been wronged because of his previous negligence, and he wanted to make up for Zhao Xun's face tonight.

But Zhao Xun sang such a song, not only failed to make up for it, but it became an even greater humiliation.This is undoubtedly a great setback for Li Yue.

The banquet ended hastily, and the jokes that should have been seen were enough, the emperor was not in the mood, and the ministers naturally couldn't show too much interest.

In the side hall, Li Yue was staggering from drinking, and Fuxi brought several young eunuchs to carry him back to the bedroom, but he refused to cooperate, and kept yelling for Zhao Xun to come see him.Everyone didn't dare to force it, for fear of hurting him.

Zhao Xun hadn't left yet, he was standing outside the screen, Fuxi looked at him with a troubled face, and almost asked Zhao Xun for help.Although Fuxi is not very old, he is also an old man in the palace and knows the seriousness.

Even though Zhao Xun lowered his stance tonight, Li Yue's attitude was not clear. Unless Li Yue said that he would treat Zhao Xun harshly, these servants would still treat Zhao Xun as a guest.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, how will your majesty react when you are drunk?" Zhao Xun asked.

Fuxi said: "To tell you the truth, Third Prince, His Majesty seldom gets drunk, occasionally he drinks too much, and he always goes to bed early, never before like today."

Zhao Xun said: "Since Your Majesty said he wants to see me, I'll go in and serve you, but I don't know if this is in compliance with the rules?"

"The third prince is serious, there is nothing against the rules." Fu Xi hurriedly said.

Only then did Zhao Xun go behind the screen.Li Yue was obviously very drunk, but he still recognized people. When he saw Zhao Xun, he immediately regained his energy and jumped off the low couch to beat him up.

But he couldn't stand anymore, he staggered and threw himself into Zhao Xun's arms.
