After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

The palace was built in the middle of the mountain.

The mountain is high, surrounded by thousands of peaks, and the clouds cut off the mountainside.

Glazed lanterns are hung around the palace. Looking from a distance, the palaces and rooms are stretched between clouds and mist, ethereal and open, and the lights are like stars, thousands of stars are connected, vast like clouds.

Because the terrain is too dangerous, there is only one way to get in and out of the palace.

The road opened in the middle of the mountain, only enough for two horse-drawn carts to run side by side. In order to prevent the rocks from rolling down, high walls were built to surround the road on both sides. The high wall was one foot wide, and a post was set up every fifty steps.

This long road named Jian'an Road extends to the front of the palace for several miles, and is wide open again.

The black-armored guards stood on the high wall, their pitch-black armor almost blending into the night.

He lowered his head and saw the ministers driving slowly into it.

The night wind whistled in his ears, and even through the visor, he still felt the bone-chilling chill.

At the moment of Xu Shi, the banquet begins.

Li Chengqi's face is due south, Xie Mingyue and Li Yan are sitting on both sides.

Under the crown, the emperor's expression was calm, even though he was only a young man who had not yet been crowned weak, he already had a commanding presence.

The emperor's seat is too high and too far away, no one can see it clearly, and no one dares to look up, except the courtiers.

If you look closely, you can see that the emperor is a bit unspeakably tired after calming down.

His lips were red and swollen for some reason, and there were two slits at the corners of his lips. When he licked it a little, he felt burning pain, as if he had cried before, and his thin eyelids were also a little swollen.

"knock--"

All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed.

Li Chengqi said, "Everyone is flat."

The voice is hoarse, no longer clear during the day.

It was much colder in the mountains than down the mountain, and everyone thought it was the little emperor catching cold, and some courtiers who were enthusiastic about the new emperor were still secretly worried about the emperor's health.

The ministers are seated.

Li Chengqi felt uncomfortable no matter how she sat. Her skin, which was usually delicate and not exposed to light, had been rubbed all over. Although the medicine had been applied, the itching of the wound and the coolness of the medicine made it even more uncomfortable, so her complexion became colder and colder.

Seeing that Jing Eryang was frightened, he almost flinched.

What are you afraid of?

He scolded himself in his heart.

That is the nephew you saw growing up when you were young, even if you become the emperor, you are still your nephew, what are you afraid of him doing?

He swallowed with difficulty, the hand that raised the glass was still shaking.

The rewashed long hair was still slightly wet, Li Chengqi had to wash it even though she didn't want to.

Just now he was in such a state of embarrassment, his cheeks and hair were all stained, it would be shameful if he didn't wash it again.

Li Chengqi picked up the wine glass.

Jing Eryang's eyes locked on him for a moment.

The wine is poured very full, and if you are not careful, it may drip onto your hands.

Li Chengqi said suddenly, "It's all empty."

The young man standing next to him raised his head when he heard the words, the coldness flashed in his eyes, and he became frightened immediately, and he stepped forward cautiously.

Li Chengqi shook the wine glass, and a few drops of wine spilled out, soaking his fingers.

He didn't even look at Man Konglai, and smiled at Jing Eryang, who was restless, and asked, "Why is Uncle always looking at Gu?"

Jing Eryang didn't expect that Li Chengqi would notice him suddenly, his face turned pale with fright, he stood up and answered in a panic, "Because, because of the minister," his mind went blank, and suddenly remembered that someone had just whispered whether His Majesty had caught a cold, so he calmed down , "I heard that His Majesty's voice is a little hoarse, and I am worried that His Majesty has caught the cold. Although state affairs are important, the body is more important. For the sake of future generations, please take care of your health."

Hoarseness?

Li Chengqi touched her throat with a bright smile, "Are you dumb? I don't think so."

People who knew him saw a kind of sinister taste for no reason.

Damn stuff.

Li Chengqi scolded coldly in her heart.

The instigator sat upright with an innocent expression on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him at all.

Jing Eryang bowed and said humbly: "It's my minister's mistake."

In front of so many people, he bowed his knees before his nephew. Jing Eryang had never experienced such humiliation since he entered Beijing.

Li Chengqi nodded and smiled, "Thank you so much for your uncle's concern, please come and give uncle Gu's wine."

Man Konglai suddenly looked up.

Jing Eryang's complexion turned pale instantly.

How glorious is it for the emperor to give wine?

A thought suddenly popped into Jing Eryang's mind, he almost fell to his knees with a plop as if struck by lightning, and pleaded guilty to the emperor.

Could it be that the emperor already knew?

No, no, no, the emperor would not know what he did in secret, and now he is apologizing... He seemed to feel Xie Mingyue's usual gentle spring breeze falling on him for a moment, his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his throat out.

He pleaded guilty, even if the Emperor Nian let him go because of his nephew's affection, Xie Mingyue would definitely cut him to pieces!

With cold sweat all over his back, he forced a smile and said: "I have no merit, I dare not accept your majesty's wine."

Jing Eryang's domineering court is well known, so cautious and humble today, all the ministers looked at each other, feeling a little inconceivable.

Someone frowned slightly, looking at Jing Eryang with some suspicion.

Xie Mingyue's soft voice resounded in the hall, as if it could soothe people's anxiety, "Since it is a gift from His Majesty, why should Uncle Guo shirk it?"

However, Jing Eryang didn't feel any spring breeze, his knees softened when he heard his voice, and he tried not to kneel down.

He scolded Xie Mingyue for being troublesome in his heart, and before he could think of how to refute, he heard Li Chengqi playing with the wine glass and laughing: "Uncle Guo is so terrified, as if he was gifted with poisonous wine."

As soon as this remark came out, all four people were shocked, and most of their eyes turned to the emperor.

What he said was so obvious that Jing Eryang couldn't help but laugh.

Li Chengqi glanced at the ministers suspiciously, as if surprised why everyone had such a big reaction to this joke, "Give the wine to Uncle Guo," he said.

No comment.

The wine glass fell smoothly onto the table.

There was some residual wine at the bottom of the glass, leaving a circle of pale marks on the case.

Man Konglai's eyes were fixed on the glass of wine, his heart was beating wildly, his ears were rumbling, and at this moment he could hardly hear what Li Chengqi was saying.

All he had in front of him was the glass of wine.

That glass, the wine that has been drunk.

The wine glass magnified in front of his eyes, and finally turned into a black shadow.

The stench of scorched human flesh struck again, and Man Konglai tried his best to restrain his trembling. He seemed to have returned to the Battle of Lanju, when he fled alone in the snowy night, full of blood, in the heavy snow. , Every step is pain like a knife cut.

Yet he couldn't stop.

He didn't want to be like the charred corpse lying on the ground.

It seems like 100 years, but in fact, only a moment has passed.

He lowered his head, stepped forward, and picked up the glass of wine.

He didn't know why Li Chengqi gave Jing Eryang wine, but asking him to serve wine might have a deep meaning.

He can take a big gamble, betting that the emperor's intentions are pure.

However, if he tried his best to get to Li Chengqi's side, where else could he find such a good opportunity except in the palace?

It is still unknown whether he will be alive or not after another year, and he is not reconciled.

He is not willing!

Wan Qilan's dull blue eyes flashed before his eyes.

Man Konglai picked up the wine glass steadily, turned around and walked down.

Li Chengqi glanced at Man Konglai, then at Jing Eryang who was trembling, feeling bored.

Don't say that his uncle is compared with Cui Yan back then, but he can't even compare with Man Konglai.

Jing Eryang looked at Man Konglai, thinking of the medicinal effect of that thing, his heart was becoming desperate.

At that moment, mishaps arose.

Man Konglai turned around abruptly, pulled out something from his sleeve, and stabbed at the emperor in the blink of an eye!

But for a moment, everyone didn't even have time to react.

But seeing several shadows flashing past, there was only a crisp cracking sound, which made one's teeth ache, but it was the sound of bones shattering.

In a moment, the situation suddenly reversed.

Man Konglai's wrist was bent at a strange angle, his right hand was weak, and the object in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

The thing was stained with blood, and it looked sharper and more terrifying.

Everyone's hearts tightened, their voices stuck in their throats, and when they looked up, the emperor was safe and sound.

Seeing the glass of wine falling to the ground, Jing Eryang couldn't help but feel relieved, and was the first to shout: "There are assassins, escort, escort—"

The guards rushed up from outside the hall.

The surroundings of the throne were surrounded by guards in colorful robes.

It is desire.

Yuhou Shao appeared in the open, why did he appear in the hall today? Could it be that the emperor had predicted that there would be an assassination?

Someone was shocked.

As soon as the heart was raised, the assassination was over before it was let go.

Everyone's hearts were beating wildly, and they all had lingering fears.

Li Yan stood where he was, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything when he met Li Chengqi's indifferent eyes.

Man Konglai's arms were twisted and pressed to the ground, his face was pressed tightly against the ground, his eyes were blackened by the forceful blow, his mouth was full of blood, he raised his head with difficulty, and the respected and incomparable young man was condescending Hate him.

It was the first time Man Konglai saw that cold look in the little emperor's eyes.

He was sure that Li Chengqi would kill him.

Because he hurt Xie Mingyue.

It's so close, it's only a little bit close, but Xie Mingyue appeared so fast.

He couldn't believe it at that moment, he couldn't believe that Xie Mingyue, a civil servant, could react so quickly.

So he panicked and stabbed at Xie Mingyue's, almost cutting his arm.

"Quick, send the imperial doctor!" Someone shouted.

The emperor got up.

Man Konglai tried his best to raise his head to see this person clearly.

Back then, Wan Qilan had great ambitions, but in the end he died in the fire.

Now he wants to kill the emperor's nephew, but the result may not be as good as Wan Qilan.

However, Li Chengqi didn't go down, but walked quickly in front of Xie Mingyue. She wanted to grab Xie Mingyue's wrist to take a look at his injury, but it was covered with blood, and it looked particularly frightening. He would be afraid to touch it. Seeing Xie Mingyue's wound, she wanted to reprimand her.

But seeing his bleeding white cheeks, the bastard blocked his mouth and grabbed his uninjured hand.

The imperial doctor hurried over.

Li Chengqi simply pulled Xie Mingyue to sit down.

The eyeballs of all the ministers were about to pop out.

That is... the position of the emperor!

Even if Xie Mingyue loyally protects the lord and the emperor shows his favor, he shouldn't let people sit there.

Xie Mingyue was also shocked. Before she could say no to her words, Li Chengqi held her shoulders, pressed her down, and was forced to sit down.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to lift his head, and hurriedly treated Xie Mingyue's wound.

Li Chengqi looked at him expressionlessly.

At that moment, only he knew the fear in his heart.

Sitting, Xie Mingyue tilted her head, and her soft long hair brushed against Li Chengqi's palm, as if to please her.

The bastard couldn't scold Xie Mingyue no matter what, Li Chengqi turned her head to look aside with a cold face.

"This person has a foreign face, which must be related to the western region!" Someone got up from his seat and knelt down, "I will find out the truth, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Man Konglai sneered upon hearing this.

The broken blade was close at hand, he rubbed forward with difficulty, and bit the blade.

The blade was extremely sharp, and the blow was decisive, and as soon as he bit it, blood flowed from the corner of his lips, staining the bricks and stones under his body red.

The guards around him thought he was going to commit suicide and were about to grab the knife, but he used all his strength to slam the blade out.

The blade pierced the wind and fell to the ground with a clang.

Half of his face was stained red with blood. The pale young man laughed loudly. Because he hurt his throat, he could only hear a hoarse voice coming from his throat.

Qing Ai picked up the broken blade and offered it with both hands.

There are faint inscriptions on the broken part of the blade.

"It is carved in Kunyue script." Xie Mingyue said softly.

It is Wan Qilan's sword.

Back then, the sword was inserted into Wan Qilan's charred body.

Man Konglai was able to recognize his brother thanks to the broken sword.

Time was running short, he couldn't even collect the corpse, so he could only pull out the broken sword and take it away.

Li Chengqi said coldly: "Shut up."

Xie Mingyue shut up pitifully, her face was pale, and she looked more and more pitiful.

Li Chengqi paused, not looking at Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue pursed her lips, perhaps because of the pain, and suddenly hissed lightly, remembering that Li Chengqi told him to shut up, her voice stopped abruptly.

Li Chengqi endured it for a while, and finally said softly: "Gu Fang just said something serious."

This is the first time the emperor bowed his head to others.

Just as Xie Mingyue was about to speak, Li Yan got up and knelt down to Li Chengqi.

"I have something important to do, Your Majesty."

Xie Mingyue glanced at him expressionlessly.

The author says:

[-]D completed.

It's more likely to be later at midnight, Jiumi.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
