Sunny Vientiane

The sky gradually darkened, and the faint starlight could barely indicate his position, but the sky near the imperial city was still white, and the dazzling fireworks accompanied by brilliant lights illuminated the entire imperial city.After many years of war, the Western Regions and the Central Plains finally ushered in temporary peace.

As a representative of the Western Regions, Nan Wu naturally received warm hospitality from the royal family. However, the war between the two sides had just ended, and there were always people who could not understand Nan Wu's arrogant appearance. Under the lively atmosphere, there was a faint undercurrent.But Xin Yueming never thought that she would sit beside Mu Xi and appear at the banquet as a guest of the palace.

Mu Xi held a bowl of egg custard, and slowly sipped it, as if this could consume the boring time.Xin Yueming brought the jadeite wine glass to her mouth, her whole body was hidden in the shadow of the lights, but her eyes lingered on the main hall, seeing all the various postures of the officials.

"Are you full?" Mu Xi finally finished eating the custard in his hand, turned to look at Xin Yueming behind him, and said softly, "Let's go when you're full."

Of course Xin Yueming understood that Mu Xi was only here for a meal, but he didn't know what King Qi meant.

Having already seen through Xin Yueming's thoughts, Mu Xi snorted coldly and said, "You don't care about him."

There was a strong sense of threat in Mu Xi's voice, so Xin Yueming had no choice but to smile, "Okay, I don't care about him."

The two were about to get up and leave, but were stopped by an attendant beside them.

"My lord, where are you taking Princess Huguo?"

The other party had a smile on his face, and even his tone was unreasonably gentle, but his movements were not that simple. With just one step, he blocked the way of Xin Yueming and Mu Xi, obviously trying to stop them from going.

Xin Yueming's mind turned for nothing, and her eyes drifted to Su Jinchen in front of her.Between cups and cups, under the colored glaze, Su Jinchen's smiling eyes only stayed on him for a moment, and then turned away quickly.With just one glance, Xin Yueming's head seemed to explode, and she suddenly understood Su Jinchen's intentions.

He was a guest of the palace, and he was invited to a banquet. Su Jinchen wanted to take this opportunity to trap him in the palace and completely cut him off from the outside world.

"Hey! Hey!"

Mu Xi watched Xin Yueming lying on the ground with her head covered, but she was at a loss.Dozens of bright red candles were burning in the bright hall, as if burning blood, clearly illuminating the center of the hall as if it were daytime, but in a few corners, it was so dim that nothing could be seen clearly.

No one noticed what was going on here. She wanted to call for help, but found that she couldn't make a sound.The attendants around her came over, and she finally found out the strangeness of this hall. It was just a banquet for a small prince. There was no need for such a big palace, and it was impossible to light so few candles. Although the officials were toasting each other, the distance between But they were so far apart, and the retainers behind them were all hidden in the shadows without exception.

Her eyes began to blur, and she understood that this was a sign that the effect of the medicine had already taken effect. She tried her best to hold on to the nearby pillars to stand still.Remembering Xin Yueming's look at Su Jinchen before she fell down, her heart became cold.The bright red candlelight came into view, and it was already blurred, but at this moment, she immediately remembered that night that she didn't want to think of easily.

There was a person who was the most important to her in this life, who fell in front of her, just like Xin Yueming at this time.

No, Xin Yueming cannot fall down.

Under the secret order of King Qi, the hidden guards who had been hiding around appeared and walked towards the fallen Xin Yueming.Mu Xi's eyes flickered, although she couldn't see clearly, she could still feel strange aura coming from all directions.She held the knife hidden in her cuff, and slashed a bloody wound at the root of her thigh. The instant pain made her wake up, but it was only for a moment.

Maybe because she knew that she would not be easily fascinated by the drug, the drug Su Jinchen gave her was very domineering. She gritted her teeth and directly inserted the knife into the inside of her left arm. open.

"roll!"

Mu Xi scolded the dark guard viciously, but his hands didn't stop. He took out a silver needle from nowhere and wanted to stick it on Xin Yueming's body.But I don't know where Su Jinchen got the drug, the drug was so strong that she couldn't react, she couldn't exert any more strength, and fainted to the ground.

"The princess is not feeling well, please come and send the princess back to the palace."

Su Jinchen ordered lightly, held He Qinghuan's hand tightly beside her, and gave her a comforting smile, "Don't worry, Xiaoxi is fine, just take a nap."

"Hey, hello!"

"Hey!"

"Hmm." Xin Yueming rubbed her eyes and was about to sit up, but she was pushed and shoved unsuspectingly, and her head became even more dizzy, "Don't, Muxi, take it easy."

Only Mu Xi could call him hello so casually.

"I thought you were going to sleep for three days and three nights." Mu Xi snorted, and sat on the chair beside the bed, "You are relaxed enough, don't you wonder why Su Jinchen did this?"

"I'm not curious." Xin Yueming pressed his index finger against his temple and rubbed it slowly, "Whatever he did was just for one reason, he wanted to get everything."

"You know." Mu Xi was startled, and said nervously, "Could it be that you have already prepared?"

"No." Xin Yueming shook his head, "How could I have thought that King Qi would be so straightforward."

Xin Yueming breathed a sigh of relief when the scene in front of her eyes finally returned to clarity instead of being as blurry as before. She leaned against the bed and poured herself a cup of tea, "However, it's time to think of a way to escape."

"Escape?" Mu Xi sneered, "How do you escape from the palace?"

"Of course I'm looking for help." Xin Yueming glanced at Mu Xi and asked doubtfully, "By the way, do you know the way here?"

Mu Xi's eyes twitched, "You think I'm that girl Jiang Qianqian? But I've never been here, and I don't know exactly how to get there."

"That's all." Xin Yueming put his hands on his head and sighed softly, "There is always a chance to escape."

"There is a chance? But this time is too late."

Xin Yueming wondered, "What?"

"There is news from Jiangnan that something happened to the He family, He Weifeng is unconscious, and it is said that a ledger was lost in the study."

The He family's headquarters is in Yuanfeng Pavilion not far from the Xiaoyao Sect, but the family's property is basically near Jiangnan. He Weifeng stays in Jiangnan all year round. This time the siege of Wuweizong did not go well, so he did not return to Yuanfeng Pavilion.

"Ledger, what ledger?"

"I don't know, it's said to be a secret account of the He family." Mu Xi bit a piece of peach blossom cake and said while eating, "If it wasn't for Mo Wenzong's black and white protectors, I'm afraid this would not have been reported."

"Mo Wenzong?" Xin Yueming said with a smile, "They will have a hand in everything."

"The two of them went to He's house to find out about the loss of Xu Jiuyan's new drug."

"Xu Jiuyan's medicine will be spread?" Hearing this, Xin Yueming finally became interested, "Didn't the He family always boast that the pot is used to help the world and never be contaminated with such harmful things?"

"It's not because Xu Jiuyan's drug appeared in the He family, but because the He family actually produced an antidote."

"Create an antidote?" Xin Yueming put away the playful smile on his lips, and asked intently, "Can you?"

Mu Xi shook his head, "I don't know, I never touch his things, and I haven't tried."

"This is fun."

Seeing Xin Yueming's smile, Mu Xi couldn't help asking, "Have you figured out how to get out of here?"

Xin Yueming turned to look at her, and asked strangely, "Why, you want to leave so much?"

"It's like sitting on pins and needles."

"Then I can't help it." Xin Yueming sighed, "Let's rest before we talk."

"Hey! Then you don't care about the outside things?"

"It doesn't matter, let me sleep for a while."

"Do you not care, or can't you?"

"I can't control it." Xin Yueming lifted the quilt to reveal only one head, and said helplessly, "You must know that the five aristocratic families have been stirred up into a mess now, and Su Jinchen locked me in the palace because he didn't want me and Song Tingchuan to get involved. Go in. Anyway, he is a relative of the emperor after all, and it is more difficult for me to snatch the last remaining scrolls from the hands of the five great families."

"Jiang Qianqian and the others, aren't you worried?"

"I dare say that Su Jinchen is absolutely willing to let them in to see us." Xin Yueming exhaled deeply and said, "But if you want to go out, you can't say for sure."

"Where is Song Tingchuan? You just believe that he can take good care of your elder brother by himself?"

"Mu Xi, are you anxious for me, or for yourself?"

Facing Xin Yueming's question, a flustered look flashed across Mu Xi's plain face. She deliberately missed Xin Yueming's sight, pursed her lips and said, "You doubt me."

Xin Yueming lowered her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Do you hate Su Jinchen?"

"hatred."

"That's why I left the palace, preferring to stay in Wuweizong." Xin Yueming said, "It's just that you, as a princess, still can't get rid of that responsibility."

"What on earth do you know?" Mu Xi raised her eyes, stared at Xin Yueming and asked, "Now you are more and more mysterious like Xiao Yuqing."

"Thank you for the compliment." Compared with Mu Xi's slightly nervous appearance, Xin Yueming was very relaxed. "More than ten years ago, the imperial court learned of the existence of all phenomena, and started to collect the fragments. But I didn't expect that what was supposed to be a The 24th bridge of the loyal dog has thoughts that he shouldn't have."

"What Su Jinchen didn't even expect was that someone from the five great families would act first and use Hehuanzong to snatch the fragments under the banner of Mo Wenzong and the Chen family, causing my family to be ruined. The scroll was handed over to the King of Qi, and Song Tingchuan discovered the 24th bridge secretly, and during the fight, Song Tingchuan, who was seriously injured by the siege, was discovered by my elder brother and saved his life."

Xin Yueming raised the corner of her mouth and showed a smug smile, "The development after this is not under Su Jinchen's control."

Mu Xi helped his forehead helplessly, and sighed, "How could Su Jinchen know such a thing."

"The only thing I don't understand is what is the relationship between Song Tingchuan and the Su family?"

"It's nothing messy." Mu Xi said, "Song Tingchuan is the adopted son of the Su family and Su Jinchen's nephew."

Xin Yueming's eyes were clear, "So, the reason for the split of the Demon Cult is as the rumors say, that there was an undercover agent from the imperial court."

"Actually, the guesses of the world are very close to ten, but no one has guessed that the undercover agent is the younger brother of the current emperor."

"This prince's aesthetics is really strange." Xin Yueming would tremble whenever he thought of Song Tingchuan's monstrous appearance, and wiped his elder brother's cold sweat from the bottom of his heart.

"Song Tingchuan was only raised by him for five or six years, and basically let him grow naturally. You can't blame him for growing up like this."

"I came to save you with good intentions, but I didn't expect to hear you speak ill of me as soon as I came."

This lawless and very personal statement emphasizes that no one will forget it when they hear it. Xin Yueming didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught, so she sat up and lifted the quilt, sighed and said to Mu Xi, "Oh, I said I'm going to sleep for a while I think it's better now, because talking with you leaves me with no time to rest."

Mu Xi turned to look at Song Tingchuan who easily jumped off the wall, and said in surprise, "How did you find this?"

"I have a guide on me."

Xin Yueming straightened her clothes and walked towards Song Tingchuan, but was stopped by Mu Xi, "Do you really want to go with him?"

"how."

Not only Xin Yueming, but also Song Tingchuan who was standing in the courtyard couldn't help looking at her.

Mu Xi looked at Song Tingchuan with cold eyes, "Did you forget so soon? I told you, he is Su Jinchen's nephew."

"But it's not a kiss." Song Tingchuan interjected lazily, crossing his arms.

Subconsciously, Mu Xi wanted to open his mouth to argue with Song Tingchuan, but Xin Yueming raised his hand to stop him, "I know."

Mu Xi's face was not very good-looking, and he simply asked, "Aren't you afraid that he and Su Jinchen are in the same group?"

"If he really favors Su Jinchen, the torn pages in my brother's hand should have been in Su Jinchen's hands long ago."

"Are you sure that the scroll is still in your brother's hands?"

Song Tingchuan's eyes darkened, and he looked at Xin Yueming in the room with great interest, hoping that he would be ugly.

Xin Yueming smiled and said, "I'm not interested in the fragmented scrolls, I'm only interested in the people who destroyed my Xin family. I don't care whether the fragments are in my brother's hands or not, even if they are really in Su Jinchen's hands."

"Oh, Mu Xi, you can't do your tricks." Song Tingchuan laughed at Mu Xi vigorously.

Mu Xi bit her lip and couldn't speak, but she still stood in front of Xin Yueming. This strange behavior finally aroused Xin Yueming's doubts, and he couldn't help asking, "Mu Xi, why did you stop me here?"

"Why else? Naturally something happened." There was the sound of neat footsteps outside the door, and one could tell that it was Su Jinchen who led the troops to surround the place, "Xiaoxi, it's thanks to your help to stop people."

Hearing Su Jinchen's voice, Mu Xi's eyes widened for a moment, and she said in a daze, "Su Jinchen?" She subconsciously stepped back a few steps, fluttering her hands in mid-air, trying to hold something substantial so that she could hold onto something substantial. Stand still.

Seeing her devastated appearance, Xin Yueming asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Tingchuan was also slightly surprised, staring at Su Jinchen's chuckling face and thinking for a moment, then he understood.

"Let's go." Song Tingchuan rushed to Xin Yueming's side, pulled him and rushed out, "Your junior brother may be in trouble."

Xin Yueming's heartbeat sounded like a drum, getting louder and faster, "What does this have to do with my junior brother?"

Song Tingchuan has profound internal skills, and he speaks extremely fast without being out of breath, "The Jiang family also has fragments. Su Jinchen has already attacked the five great families. The Jiang family and the Xiao family are the most difficult bones to crack, but the two precious disciples of the Jianghu are in his hands. Come on." He paused for a while, and deliberately glanced at Xin Yueming, "Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

Not caring about asking any more specific news, Xin Yueming asked anxiously, "Is there still a chance?"

"Follow me, there is still a chance."

In the eyes of the people around, Song Tingchuan's figure moved very fast like a ghost, Xin Yueming followed closely, and soon rushed to the palace gate.It has to be said that Su Jinchen trained very well. Even Song Tingchuan, facing such a tight siege, couldn't help but find it difficult.

Su Jinchen soon came to the gate of the palace, and said to Song Tingchuan, "Why do you have to confront me?" I wonder if Xin Yueming misread it, but there was a look of pity on his face.

The author has something to say:

Well, I can give some spoilers for those who only know about it and don’t know why. Song Tingchuan is Su Jinnian’s adopted son. Well, after seeing this, you should be able to understand that Su Jinnian’s love is a tragedy.

This chapter is not written together, it may seem a bit broken?In fact, when I was writing the palace banquet, I really wanted to write about what would happen at the palace banquet, but I fell asleep halfway through the writing, and when I wrote it the next day, my brain went to the other side. So, it turns out that I have some ideas when writing Never stop.
