After I feel sorry for the cannon fodder prince, I wear a book

Yu Yi couldn't see Ye Zhiqiu because Yu Yinjiang called Ye Zhiqiu into the palace.

At the age of 50, Yu Yinjiang was happy and attached great importance to it, but he was also worried that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he decided to keep an eye on the defense on the day of the birthday banquet, and there should be no mistakes.

The two people in Duan Wang's mansion have been in a stalemate for the past few days, and no one is willing to give in first.

Yu Yi didn't give in because it was related to Xiao Tan's life, he couldn't just watch Xiao Tan go to die; The old road of I.

The assassination was clearly instigated by the queen, but Xiao Qin didn't understand why the queen wanted to join forces with Xiao Zhengze to frame Yu Yi instead of killing Yu Shu as soon as possible.Xiao Zhengze didn't understand, but the queen should know very well that even if all the princes died, Yu Yinjiang would not let Yu Yi inherit the throne, and there was a high probability that he would have another child with a well-born concubine in the harem.

However, the explosion of the Huayu Building last time and the assassination at the birthday banquet, the two cases planned by the Queen, were directed at Yu Yi from the beginning.

Xiao Tan thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the queen was planning.

Tomorrow's birthday banquet, today's imperial guards have half a day off, let all the people who have been assigned tasks go back and have a good rest, and get up and do things well tomorrow.

Xiao Qin came out of the Forbidden Army compound and went directly to Ye Mansion.

According to the book, today was the time when Ye Zhiqiu was poisoned. The poison was fierce but difficult to recognize. This gave the assassin a chance to break through the guards and seriously injure Yu Yinjiang.

Perhaps the assassin did this because Ye Zhiqiu could pose a threat to him.

Xiao Qin climbed up to the roof lightly and leaned over to look down.

Ye Zhiqiu leaned against the window and read a book, and the servants in the yard were coming and going, as if they were preparing lunch.

"The person who poisoned him was an ordinary-looking man, dressed in a gray coarse cloth jacket, with an old scar on his brow, very conspicuous..."

Xiao Tan restrained his breath, and looked at everyone in the courtyard calmly.

"Hey, you! Why are you dawdling! Go and bring the lotus seed soup that the old lady boiled for the lord!"

A yell attracted Xiao Tan's attention.

He searched for his reputation, and saw a man in gray standing in front of the steward with lowered brows, waiting for the steward to finish his anger, then trotted out of the courtyard, apparently heading towards the small kitchen.

Xiao Qin thought for a while, raised his breath to follow, and when he turned the corner, he suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground, slamming the man against the wall.

The man wanted to scream, but Xiao Qin tapped his Ya point quickly, and reached out to grab his throat.

"Who sent you here?" Xiao Tan wanted to get some clues about the assassin's identity from him.

In the final analysis, even if the queen has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to personally arrange this matter.During the Huayulou bombing, Yue Yang found out that there was a man beside the queen with good martial arts, but he didn't know if the assassin was him this time...

The man's eyes widened in horror as he frantically struggled in Xiao Tan's hands.

Xiao Tan was helpless, put the dagger on his waist, and pretended to threaten: "If you struggle again, your little life will be gone!"

The man froze instantly, opened his mouth anxiously to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Tan thought for a while, and took him out of the Ye Mansion to avoid the guards, and found a secluded place to let him go.

"Cough, cough, cough." The man coughed while clutching his neck in discomfort.

Xiao Tan waited for him to finish coughing, and asked, "Who sent you here, and what kind of poison is it?"

The man was terrified, leaning against the wall with a mournful face, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

"This big... my lord, what are you talking about, the little one doesn't know."

Xiao Qin raised his eyebrows, and used a dagger to brush the hair on the man's forehead.

There is a scar on the brow, which looks like it has been there for many years.

He put the dagger on the man's waist again: "Ask again, who sent you here."

"I, I, I, I really don't know!" The man trembled.

Xiao Qin's eyes sank.

If he hadn't read the script, he might have believed that this man was wronged.

The man was still explaining incoherently, Xiao Qin raised his hand to knock him unconscious, and tied him to a nearby tree with a rope.

Few people passed by here, and when he was discovered, the birthday banquet should have ended.

Xiao Qin squatted down and checked the man's things. Sure enough, he found a pack of medicine powder in a hidden bag. He opened it and smelled it. It was colorless and odorless, and he couldn't smell anything.

Take it back and show it to Jiang Han, maybe he will know.

Xiao Qin got up, left the man and went back to Ye Mansion. Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was already drinking lotus seed soup, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the assassin felt that Ye Zhiqiu alone was a threat, there shouldn't be anything wrong with joining forces with him and Ye Zhiqiu tomorrow.

After the birthday banquet is over, he will find another opportunity to explain to His Highness.

*****

It was almost dark when we returned to the palace.

Xiao Qin came in and saw Yu Yi sitting at the table with a book in his hand.

"Your Highness." Xiao Qin called softly.

Yu Yi raised her head: "Are you back? Have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Qin shook his head, walked over and sat beside him.

"That's just right, I didn't eat it either." Yu Yi put down the book and ordered Duan Fangzhu to serve.

He happened to have nothing to eat, and dinner was already prepared, and he was the one who was waiting for Xiao Qin to come back.

Tomorrow's birthday banquet, the imperial army will enter the palace to prepare before dawn, and the two of them will see each other for the last time tonight. Yu Yi is really worried, but there is no way to force Xiao Qin not to go.

Why can't people be tied up and locked up in the mansion?

"Your Highness is waiting for me." Xiao Qin's eyes were soft.

Yu Yi choked: "Yes, yes, I'm waiting for you."

Xiao Qin smiled, and picked up a chopstick of vegetables for Yu Yi.

Yu Yi picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, hesitant to say: "Tomorrow..."

He didn't know how to say it.

Even Duan Fangzhu felt that his reaction was too radical.It's just that he entered the palace as a value during the birthday banquet, so what could happen?But Yu Yi knew that something would happen. He almost wanted to tell Xiao Qin that he was reborn and that many people would die tomorrow, so he didn't want him to take risks.

Yu Yi was a little annoyed.

"Tomorrow will be fine." Xiao Qin said seriously.

"Yeah." Yu Yi reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, got up and walked to the window with her back to Xiao Tan, blocking her ugly face.

"Your Highness," Xiao Tan sighed, walked over and pulled Yu Yi back into his arms, "It will be fine, I promise."

Yu Yi closed her eyes, buried her face on Xiao Tan's shoulder, and sniffed the breath of this man.

"It's just a birthday banquet. There aren't that many people with evil intentions." Xiao Qin patted him on the back reassuringly.

"..."

Yu Yi slowly tightened the hand beside her.

That's it.

No matter what happens tomorrow, he will definitely not let Xiao Qin have trouble, even if it costs his life.

Xiao Qin stood holding Yu Yi for a while, with his chin resting on the top of his head.

Even if she loses her life tomorrow, Yu Yi can't let Yu Yi go on according to the plot planned in the script.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Qin let go of the person in his arms and got out of bed lightly.

It has always been like this ever since the two moved into the same room, no matter how far apart they were before going to bed, even if there were two pillows stuffed in between, when they woke up they always had their legs crossed and their chests against their chests.

"Got to go?"

Yu Yi asked him with heavy sleepiness.

"It's time to go, Your Highness will sleep again, it's still early." Xiao Qin put on his clothes, and tucked the corner of the quilt for Yu Yi.

"En." Yu Yi didn't say anything, but just watched him go out.

Today is dangerous, I am afraid it will not end so easily.

"Xiao Tan, hurry up!" Zhou Fangming stood at the gate of the palace waiting for him.

"Master." Xiao Qin saluted, took out his badge and went in with Zhou Fangming.

"Today you are fortunate to have the opportunity to serve the imperial court closely, but you must perform well and make no mistakes, understand?" Zhou Fangming urged solemnly.

"Understood." Xiao Tan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Zhou Fangming said that he wanted to take him as a disciple, because he was really concerned about his affairs, but it was a pity that he was not a child of an ordinary family, so he couldn't make his career as he wished.

If His Highness wants him in the future, maybe he will stay in the deep palace for the rest of his life, trying his best to compete with other concubines for favor.

Thinking of that scene, Xiao Tan felt a little absurd, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Quick, go." Zhou Fangming led him into the hall and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes." Xiao Tan stepped in. Ye Zhiqiu's adjutant was arranging for everyone to do things, but Ye Zhiqiu himself was nowhere to be seen.

strangeness.

Could it be that Yu Yinjiang called him away for questioning again?

Xiao Tan casually pulled out a person: "Where is Master Ye?"

"Lord Ye? Lord Ye is sick. The imperial doctor who went to the palace overnight last night heard that he had a stomach fever. He couldn't even come to the birthday party today." The man replied.

...?

Xiao Qin frowned slowly.

I'm afraid it's not eating bad stomach, but being poisoned.

But he obviously took away the poisoner and threw away the medicine bag, so how could Ye Zhiqiu still be poisoned?

Could it be that this key plot cannot be changed?

However, it was obviously different when the Huayulou bombing happened.

Xiao Qin turned around and walked out, thinking of Ye Mansion to see what was going on, but he was stopped by the adjutant after only a few steps.

"Hey, so who is it, Xiao Qin, where are you going? Follow them quickly to familiarize yourself with the situation in the hall, don't dawdle!"

"...Yes." Xiao Qin had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

The poisoner was gone, but Ye Zhiqiu was still poisoned.

Xiao Qin had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

The day was getting brighter, and everyone quickly became busy. The palace maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth to arrange the decorations in the hall, and the eunuch in command repeated the procedure and rules of tonight to everyone again and again. People mention Ye Zhiqiu.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, Ye Zhiqiu really just happened to be sick, so it's not worth thinking about.

"Hurry up, are you all ready!? Someone is here." The eunuch in command drove the maids to the side of the hall to stand up, and the person in charge of reception at the door led several ministers of the court and central government to sit where they were supposed to sit.

The hall is brightly lit and golden.The huge banquet was in order, no one walked to the wrong place, no one ate the wrong food, everyone deliberately lowered their voices when talking, Xiao Qin stood at the head, looking around.

"Second Highness is here—"

When Yu Yi entered the door, except for Yu Yinjiang and the queen, everyone else had already arrived.

Xiao Tan didn't move, and the two of them looked at each other indiscriminately.

Then a few people came in twos and threes, and when everyone was present, Yu Yinjiang came out from the back of the hall and sat in the upper seat, with the empress beside him, with a dignified appearance.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—" There was an echo in the hall, and the sound of greetings was deafening.

"Everyone loves you." Yu Yinjiang was happy today, with a good complexion and spirit, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with the birthday banquet.

Yu Yinjiang signaled to open the banquet, and Li Fuquan immediately turned his head to give instructions, and the order was passed down level by level. It didn't take long for court ladies to bring up various dishes, dancers and singers also entered the dance floor, and began to dance slowly.

Xiao Tan sullenly, ready to strike at any time.

"Xiao Tan? Why did Ye Zhiqiu send you here?" Yu Yinjiang was a little surprised to see him.

"Returning to the emperor, my son is on duty in the imperial army, so it is natural to protect His Majesty's safety."

Xiao Tan's answer was quite satisfactory, but Yu Yinjiang was amused, "Okay, okay, you are indeed the one Yu Yi married back home, I like it!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Qin said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Qin has a heartless request."

"speak."

"Your Highness can't drink too much wine, you see..."

At the beginning of the banquet, several people gathered around to toast Yu Yi, and after the toast, they toasted again and again. There were always a few people back and forth, and Xiao Qin knew it was arranged by the queen without thinking.

"Hey! Fortunately, you reminded me that there are so many things to do today that I forgot." Yu Yinjiang slapped the table and whispered something to Li Fuquan.

The latter made a small detour behind Yu Yi, and dismissed all the toasters for him.

Xiao Qin breathed a sigh of relief, so those people would find no reason to send Yu Yi out of the palace.

Most of the progress of the banquet was over, the surroundings were still calm, and there was nothing suspicious.

Xiao Qin saw Yu Yi standing up and walking towards Yu Yinjiang.

He frowned, just as he was about to signal Yu Yi to go back and stay away when Yu Guang suddenly turned his attention to the table in front of Yu Yinjiang. Under the golden tablecloth, a small black corner of his clothes was exposed——
