Chapter 404
Daojun: "Does this eldest princess like you? Hey, what do you call this, Lily?"

Xia Qingyang gave the team of eunuchs some silver coins, thanking them for their hard work.

"You even know Lily." Xia Qingyang was responding to Daojun's words with his thoughts, but suddenly, she paused——

When it was given to one of the little eunuchs, the other party suddenly turned to shake her hand, and Xia Qingyang felt the folded paper in his sleeve.

She pulled out the paper without a trace and rolled it into her sleeve.

After sending the team of eunuchs away, Xia Qingyang took out the paper and unfolded it, only to see a few words written on it:

The mission hides the snake. Tomorrow, it will lead the snake out of the hole.

"What do you mean?" Daojun asked curiously.

"There are assassins in the mission, wait for the assassins to act tomorrow, and then arrest them on the spot."

After reading it, Xia Qingyang put the paper into his portable space to sell the stolen goods.

To be reasonable, she admired Ren Yi's courage.

In order to completely wipe out all the assassins, she would rather wait until the moment the assassins strike before closing the net. Ren Yi is really not afraid that Ren Fu's life will be in danger.

But yes.Now that he has firmly decided to seize the throne, Ren Fu will be kicked out sooner or later.

It's just that Xia Qingyang and the others haven't determined the identity of the key NPC, so they can't let Ren Fu die.

The next day, the palace banquet was held as scheduled.

Jiang Ye came early today.As soon as he sat down, he immediately searched for Ren Yi's position with his eyes.

"Why did this guy go to pester Sister Yi? He must be thinking about Sister Yi." Concubine An looked at Jiang Ye unhappily.

Xia Qingyang felt that it was hard to say at the moment.

Who knows if the assassin was arranged by Jiang Ye.Perhaps Jiang Ye went there just to contain Ren Yi, who had the highest force value present.

Of course, this possibility is relatively low.

After all, according to Xia Qingyang's investigation, the current emperor of Tuochuan Kingdom is not a war-loving person.Now that Dachun Kingdom has been peacefully subdued, there is no need to play these dirty tricks anymore.

Not long after, Ren Fu also arrived with Empress Yin.

For a grand banquet of this size, as the mother of the country, Empress Yin should sit on the throne with Ren Fu and entertain the guests.

So today, Empress Yin specially got up early and put on delicate makeup.

Different from the light makeup she preferred in the past, today she has red lips, sharp eyebrows, and a cold and detached temperament.When carrying the long skirt up the stairs, he was a few steps behind Ren Fu intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing her like this, Ren Fu's expression was a little complicated.

Whether it was out of guilt or finally remembering his old relationship, he reached out his hand to help her.

From Ren Fu's point of view, even if his wife, who had always been obedient to him, felt sad and resentful because he had belittled her father, she would not be able to disgrace herself in front of so many people.

However, what he didn't expect was that the present Empress Yin was no longer the woman who he allowed to be rounded and flattened by.

She didn't even look at him, she just avoided his hand and walked up to the steps by herself.

Ren Fu froze for a moment, clenched his palms tightly, and lowered his arms.

"Who did the queen learn from playing hard to get?"

After sitting on the dragon chair, Ren Fu whispered to Empress Yin who was sitting beside her.

"Your Majesty is joking."

Empress Yin didn't look sideways, as if being a little closer to Ren Fu was a bad luck.

Ren Fu's face didn't look good, but because so many people were present, it was difficult to get angry.

"Dog Emperor, please stay away from my sister Yin, sit so close." Seeing this scene, Concubine An, who was sitting in the concubine's seat, couldn't help gnashing her teeth.

Xia Qingyang tugged on her sleeves, telling her to keep her complaints down so that she wouldn't be overheard.

Concubine An: "I know."

Xia Qingyang: "Um...huh?"

Suddenly, from the corner of Xia Qingyang's eyes, he caught a glimpse of half of his body in the shadow behind Ren Fulong's chair—looking at his attire, he seemed to be Deputy Commander Xiao?

She didn't know what came to mind, and asked in her heart: "Mr. Dao, you said, if the assassin shows up later, as the emperor's personal bodyguard, Vice Commander Xiao will definitely do his best to protect the emperor's safety?"

Daojun paused strangely: "Why are you asking this?"

Xia Qingyang knew that he could spy on his inner thoughts.

So she chuckled and said deliberately: "It's nothing. Just ask."

"...Woman, are you lying to me?"

"Didn't Daojun also lie to me?"

Daojun was speechless.

He knew that Xia Qingyang had figured out Gu Simonan's identity.

And nine times out of ten, she was half guessing and half testing her own attitude.

But she just didn't point it out.This leads to nowhere to justify if I want to justify.

So angry.

Daojun is upset, so he also wants to make Gu Sinan unhappy.

He wouldn't tell Gu Simon that Xia Qingyang had already guessed his identity.

Let this sullen man continue to hold back.snort.
-
The palace banquet started in an embarrassing atmosphere of discord between the emperor and empress.

This time the palace banquet included not only the missions, civil and military officials, but also the family members of the officials and the concubines in the harem.It was the first time Xia Qingyang saw such a large number of people.

In the Xia family, Xia Jingzhi and his wife and Xia Qingyang's brother and sister-in-law attended the meeting.

Xia Qingyang toasted them with a glass of wine as a greeting, and he was already thinking about how to protect the safety of Xia's family in the chaos in case of a fight.

Accompanied by court musicians playing gag music gurgling like flowing water, everyone gathered to drink, saluted each other and then sat down.

The banquet was held in the open space outside the imperial garden, and it was near evening, so the lanterns were lit, and the light was very beautiful.

This kind of palace banquet is generally an occasion for officials to brag about each other's friendship.It's just that there are missions present today, so the rainbow farts are all shot towards Jiang Ye.

Some officials took a fancy to Jiang Ye's status and enthusiastically asked whether Jiang Ye had any wives or concubines.

"No." Jiang Ye put down his wine glass and asked the maid beside him to pour the wine for him: "However, it seems that he has reached the age to marry a wife?"

"Yes, this man should settle down when he reaches his age. Look, General Jiang, all those present here are all the most beautiful and talented women in our Dachun Kingdom... especially the granddaughter of the lower official, who has been here since two days ago I met General Jiang by chance at the Lantern Festival, and after I got back, I kept talking about it."

The official wanted to promote his daughter-in-law's granddaughter, so he enthusiastically took the wine from the maid's hand and poured it on Jiang Ye's behalf.

Ren Fu also wanted to bring Dachun Kingdom and Tuochuan Kingdom closer, so he watched with interest and had no intention of stopping them.

Jiang Ye didn't respond, his eyes scanned the family members of the officials below, and sure enough, he saw a few women who didn't dare to look at him and bowed their heads shyly.

"Your Majesty, is this appropriate?" Jiang Ye didn't answer the official, but suddenly turned his head to ask Ren Fu.

A few days passed, and it seemed that this was the first time that Jiang Ye seriously asked for his opinion before he wanted to do something.

Ren Fu laughed, the hero of the heart is sad about the beauty pass, no matter how difficult this Jiang Ye is to serve, isn't he also planted here?I just don't know which family's woman is so lucky.

"The most difficult thing in this world is to find someone who is caring and caring. If General Jiang meets someone he likes in Dachun, just get up and take him away. I can draw up an order today."
