As the evening approached, the Prince's Mansion was bustling with excitement.

On the crown prince's birthday, there were aides who came to congratulate him, but now His Royal Highness decided to make a big deal, and after sending out invitations, everyone who wanted to come and didn't want to come came here one by one.

Seeing that the sky was getting late, but the banquet was delayed, officials from all walks of life began to whisper among each other.

"Your Highness, why don't we wait for the Fifth Prince?"

Xiao Dezi, who was beside His Highness the Crown Prince, saw that some officials who were not very close to His Highness the Crown Prince were faintly impatient, and asked aloud.

As for these people, His Royal Highness naturally saw them, but they were all small people, so there was no need to take them to heart.

"hold on."

He bet that his good brother would not let go of such a good opportunity to express himself and win connections, and he would definitely come if he wanted to.

As His Royal Highness expected, it didn't take long for someone to come in and announce that "the fifth prince has arrived", and then the fifth prince dressed in a luxurious appearance appeared in front of everyone.

"I'm sorry, Brother Huang, I was delayed on the road, I think Brother Huang won't blame my younger brother, right?"

The fifth prince bowed slightly, and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince sitting in the main seat with a smile on his face, but there was a little confidence in his eyes.

Some neutral officials, looking at this scene, just feel that there is a good show going to be staged today.

"It's okay, little Dezi, why don't you hurry up and invite the Fifth Emperor to sit down."

"say"

疋.

Faced with the fifth prince's secret provocation, His Royal Highness didn't care at all.After the other party was seated, His Royal Highness announced the start of the banquet.Food and wine were served on the table. After drinking for three rounds, the fifth prince suddenly stood up with the wine glass in hand.

"Brother Huang's birthday is today, and Brother Huang is toasting Brother Huang, wishing Brother Wu Huang every year has today, every year has today." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

His Royal Highness stood up, took a drink with him, and looked at the other party very relieved: "The fifth emperor has a heart."

The fifth prince smiled: "Where, today is the birthday of the emperor, and the emperor personally ordered someone to find a dancer from outside the Great Wall to cheer for the emperor, not only the emperor, do you want to have a look?"

"Hey? Why don't you talk about rewarding face or not? Since it's the fifth emperor's wish, it's up to you as a brother!"

"Thank you, Brother Huang, come here and order the dancer to come forward and dance for a while!"

The two guards looked at each other, one was full of warmth, the other was determined to win.

With the sound of a pipa, I thought a woman from outside the Great Wall in a red dress with a red gauze floated over.

I saw this woman dressed boldly, twisting her graceful waist, and the bells on her ankles made a slight "jingle" sound with her dancing posture, which seemed to complement the sound of the pipa.

Only a pair of charming eyes were exposed on the face covered by the red gauze. Although she was dancing, her eyes never left the crown prince who was on the throne for a moment.

Your Highness.

His Highness the Crown Prince curled his mouth and looked at the other party obsessively. I don't know if he was attracted by the other party's excellent dancing posture, or simply by those seductive eyes.

The fifth prince sat on the spot, looked at His Highness the Crown Prince quietly, and then raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a contemptuous expression.

Sure enough, where did the emperor's family come from such a decent person, it's just that he has never encountered anything that messed up his position.Now it seems that his move is right, he is sure that the other side will definitely keep this woman in the house overnight.

As long as he keeps this woman, his plan will be more than half successful, and he only needs to go back to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to wait for news.

Just as the fifth prince was slowly thinking about his little thoughts in his heart, the dancer who had been in the center of the hall approached His Royal Highness while dancing.

Just when everyone lamented that the dancer outside the Great Wall was so bold, and that His Highness the Crown Prince was bewildered by such a girl, something happened unexpectedly.

I saw the dancing girl who was gradually approaching His Royal Highness, her eyes changed, and suddenly she took out a dagger from her sleeve and went straight towards His Royal Highness!

While everyone was exclaiming, His Highness the Crown Prince dodged, although he avoided the opponent's fatal blow, his shoulder was cut by the opponent, and the bright yellow sleeves were instantly soaked in red blood.

"There are assassins! Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing the situation, Xiao Dezi shouted to both sides of the hall and hurried forward to protect His Highness the Crown Prince behind him.

As soon as the voice fell, the musicians and others who had entered the door with the dancer also took out their weapons from their sleeves, and stood together with the dancer who attacked His Royal Highness.

Seeing this scene, all the ministers fled privately with their heads in their hands.Just when the assassin was about to attack the minister who was about to run out of the door, a long sword flew out suddenly and blocked him back.

The assassin looked outside the door, and saw two figures, one blue and one purple, walking in with swords, and behind them were Qi Mo in plain clothes and the second brother Tu who was at ease.

The leading dancer frowned when she saw how calm and content these people were, feeling that things had changed.The few people behind rushed winked and wanted to retreat when they were stopped by two figures, one purple and one blue.

Soon there was the sound of weapons clashing, the opponent was obviously not the opponent of Qinglian and Canglan, and it was already a bit difficult to deal with it after a few rounds.

Qi Mo and Second Brother Tu walked around to His Royal Highness, and asked, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"Small injury, no problem." His Highness the Crown Prince shook his head, this little injury was nothing to him.

While speaking, with a muffled groan, the fighting sound also stopped.

His Royal Highness looked at the few people who were kneeling on the ground held down by Qinglian and Canglan with swords, and then looked at the ministers who had panicked since the sudden change, and said.

"Adults, I'm really sorry. Today was supposed to be a happy day, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I'll send you adults back later. I hope you will forgive me."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Xiao Dezi at the side: "Little Dezi, I will prepare a small gift for each adult to take back."

"Yes, the servant knows." Xiao Dezi responded aloud, and then led the crowd to go out: "My lords, follow me."

As early as when the dancer girl suddenly attacked His Highness the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, who had panicked, was about to take the opportunity to slip away, but was stopped by His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, please stay."

This shout not only made the footsteps of the fifth prince stop, but even the ministers couldn't help but stop and look back.

"Fifth Emperor, you brought this dancer and others, please stay and interrogate with me first."

As soon as these words came out, the Fifth Prince became even more flustered. He wanted to refute, but he was concerned about everyone present, so he could only nod dryly.

And these ministers who have always been dealing with the court like foxes have come to understand. Could it be that what happened today has something to do with the Fifth Prince?

"My lords, please follow me." Xiao Dezi received Qi Mo's gaze, and then he made a sound to guide the crowd out again.

After all the ministers had left, His Highness the Crown Prince sat on the throne again.Looking majestically at the few people kneeling on the ground, he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, who ordered you?"

A few people didn't answer, just looked down at the ground.

The fifth prince on the side, watching this scene, was extremely nervous.

He clearly sent a letter to the other party, allowing the other party to take the opportunity to seduce the prince and stay overnight, and then assassinate the other party when the two were alone, creating the illusion that His Royal Highness was addicted to beauty and was assassinated.

In this way, even if someone suspects that he did it, there is no evidence.However, he never expected that the other party would go against his will and make a move in advance under the watchful eyes of everyone, which completely caught him off guard.

"Brother Huang is questioning, why don't you plead guilty quickly! Either way, you can avoid some flesh and blood pain!"

Sometimes when people panic, they may do something completely opposite to their usual self, such as the fifth prince at the moment.

The dancing girl who was kneeling on the ground looked at the fifth prince in disbelief when she heard what the fifth prince said.

She was originally the daughter of a herdsman outside the Great Wall, and she came to the capital to do business with her family, but she didn't want to be entangled by the other party, so she was forcibly brought into the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

He wanted to escape all the time, but every time he was caught by the person sent by the other party to monitor it.

A few days ago, the other party suddenly said to himself that he could give her back her freedom, but the premise was to do one thing for her.

Missing her freedom, she agreed without even thinking about it. In her opinion, people in the Central Plains are not good people, and she never valued life or death.

It's just that now that she has clearly followed the other party's request, even if she fails, it's not entirely her responsibility.This person suddenly changed his countenance. Does this mean that he wants to take on the whole thing?

Ridiculous, she is not the kind of little sheep who will be slaughtered at will!

"I don't know, what crime does His Royal Highness and the Fifth Prince want me to confess?"

Now the dancer girl has calmed down instead. She will die anyway, so she will have to hold her back before she dies!

"What crime? Of course it is the crime of assassinating the prince of the royal family!" The fifth prince saw that the other party was still refusing to admit it even now, and his heart was anxious and embarrassing, for fear that the other party would confess himself.

Sitting on the main seat, His Royal Highness looked at the calm expression of the dancer kneeling on the ground and the anxious expression of the fifth prince, and curled the corners of his mouth. The contrast should not be too obvious.

"You know who I am because I was your assassination target, but how did you know my imperial brother, and even know that the other party is your fifth imperial brother?"

The dancer girl snorted and smiled: "That's what His Royal Highness thinks."

His Highness the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows, this dancer girl is quite bloody.

"Fifth Brother, although Brother Huang really wants to believe you, but you have heard it, I'm afraid I need your explanation."

As soon as His Royal Highness said this, the Fifth Prince immediately knelt down in a panic: "Brother! This matter has nothing to do with me, although I brought her, but... But I really didn't expect her to have The thought of assassinating the emperor's brother."

"Ah, I didn't realize that the Fifth Prince is actually such a good actor."

Wu Ji knelt there, looking at the fifth prince with such a face, she really wanted to kill him with one blow.
