Drunk Bamboo

The emperor was a very suspicious person.

When Xiao Bingxin first spoke, the emperor did not think much about it, but when Xiao Zhong came forward, he immediately felt that what Xiao Bingxin had to say was very important.

Xiao Zhong is trying to hide something.

The emperor encouraged Xiao Bingxin with a loving look on his face: "What's the matter? Bingxin, just tell me. I'm here and will definitely make the decision for you."

"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of grievance. I just want to thank someone."

"Who has done such a great deed that General Xiao's daughter would be grateful at this moment?"

Xiao Bingxin began to explain slowly:

"On my way to Zhongdu, I lost my luggage and encountered a fight between martial arts sects. I almost lost my life. If it weren't for King Wen's rescue, I wouldn't be able to stand in front of Your Majesty right now, and I wouldn't be able to fulfill my filial duty to my father in the future. King Wen saved my life, and I am deeply grateful to you. I have no way to repay you."

"Today I just want to offer a glass of wine to King Wen in person, congratulating him on his happy marriage to Miss Luo. I hope he will be blessed with good fortune and success in his future."

Xiao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Yuzhu frowned slightly.

Hua Qinfeng didn't seem surprised.

The emperor looked at Hua Qinming proudly and said, "Well, you are indeed the daughter of General Xiao. You are grateful and repay your kindness. Ming'er should take this glass of wine."

Hua Qinming stood up and said, "It's just a small favor. Miss Xiao, you don't have to take it to heart. No matter who it is, they will help if they encounter such a thing."

Xiao Bingxin's tone was gentle: "It was a piece of cake for King Wen, but for Bingxin, it is something she will never forget for the rest of her life."

"Bing Xin thanks the prince for saving her life, and sincerely congratulates the prince and Miss Luo on their eternal marriage!"

He raised his glass and walked towards Hua Qinming and Luo Qi.

There was a smile on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was unfathomable.

"Your Highness?" Luo Qi looked embarrassed.

She couldn't drink and didn't know whether she should accept Xiao Bingxin's drink.

Hua Qinming smiled gently, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her seemed so gentle that it could make tears come out of his eyes.

Xiao Bingxin felt so angry that her teeth were itching in her heart.

Hua Qinming said to Luo Qi, "My father has granted the marriage, and the wedding date has been set. Sooner or later, you will belong to Prince Wen's palace. Since we are husband and wife, we are one and the same. Drink this cup of wine, and let Miss Xiao feel at ease."

Luo Qi said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Before the wine glass reached Luo Qi's hand, it accidentally fell to the ground, and the wine in the glass naturally fell on Luo Qi's skirt.

Xiao Bingxin immediately exclaimed, her face full of apology: "Oh, it's all my fault. My wrist was still a little uncomfortable from sword dancing, and I accidentally wet Miss Luo's dress. I'm so sorry."

"Miss Xiao, don't worry. I'll go downstairs and change my clothes." Luo Qi was very understanding. She felt relieved that she didn't have to drink the wine that was spilled.

"I'll go with Miss Luo and express my apologies." Xiao Bingxin took the initiative to say.

"Go ahead." Hua Qinming nodded.

In the side hall, Xiao Bingxin offered to help again:

"Miss Luo, can I help you change?"

Luo Qi panicked and took a step back: "No need to do this. How can Miss Xiao do these servants' work herself? We are of the same generation. You are embarrassing me by doing this."

"Miss Luo will be marrying Prince Wen soon, and she will be the Princess of Rao State. I am just an ordinary commoner, and naturally I have to bow down and kowtow to the prince and princess when I see them." Xiao Bingxin said one thing and meant another, but she had a smile on her face the whole time, and her true thoughts could not be seen at all.

"Besides, it's my fault today that Miss Luo's dress got wet. It's such a beautiful dress, it's a pity."

Luo Qi didn't let Xiao Bingxin do it, but asked her maid to serve her.

"It's just stained with some wine. Go back home and wash it, dry it, and iron it. It will be as good as new. Miss Xiao, don't worry too much, and don't apologize so much. Besides, it's just a skirt. It doesn't matter if it's really damaged."

Xiao Bingxin suddenly smiled coldly: "How can it not matter? How can a beautiful flower be pure and innocent again if it is stained with dust?"

It makes people feel uncomfortable.

But when Luo Qi looked at Xiao Bingxin, her beautiful and moving smile made it impossible to arouse any doubt.

She smiled, followed Xiao Bingxin's words, and kindly suggested: "Miss Xiao, why are you talking about flowers? If you want to enjoy the flowers, the moonlight is just right. After the banquet, you can walk out of the palace with Miss Xiao. It is also a unique experience to enjoy the flowers under the moon."

Luo Qi's peach blossom-like smile made Xiao Bingxin envious and hateful.

He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You and Brother Feng are both just as innocent."

His face was startled: "Miss Xiao, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Bingxin said threateningly, "I said, I will help Miss Luo change her clothes."

Luo Qi was always steady, and immediately calmed down his panic and ordered, "You guys go out first."

"Yes."

Until there were only two people left in the side hall.

"Ms. Luo, you got so nervous when you heard about Brother Feng. It seems that you really like Brother Feng." Xiao Bingxin continued, "During the Liushang Qushui Banquet, I noticed that the way you looked at Brother Feng was different. Today I saw you secretly looking at Brother Feng again, even if it was just for a moment. I knew it too."

"You..." Luo Qi was dumbfounded and didn't say a word in rebuttal.

"You don't need to explain. Do you want to know why I know? Because I know the feeling of loving someone deeply but not being able to express it and only liking them silently. That's how I like King Wen. So, just one glance is enough for me to confirm your feelings for Brother Feng."

Approaching the pale face, Xiao Bingxin smiled complacently.

Luo Qi shouted angrily, "I am the princess consort bestowed by His Majesty to Prince Wen, Miss Xiao, please be careful with your words!"

She didn't care at all, instead she smiled even more sinisterly: "You don't like King Wen, but I like him, I like him very much. If His Majesty hadn't forced you to marry him, how could he have been so cruel to reject me?"

His legs felt weak and he took a few steps back, reaching out to hold onto the screen beside him to avoid falling.

Luo Qi's voice trembled: "Miss Xiao, you, you are crazy..."

"Since you don't like each other, why do you want to be together? You like Brother Feng, I can help you. You can also help me by the way and let me become the queen of King Wen. How about we cooperate with each other?" He seemed to be discussing with her.

"What did you say?" He looked up in disbelief.

Her mind was blank at this moment.

"It's just that the position of the princess has already been taken. With your majesty's love for Miss Luo, it's absolutely more than enough for her to be the concubine of King Feng." Xiao Bingxin's words became more and more frightening. "If Miss Luo wants to be a princess, I can also help Miss Luo and make the current princess disappear. Naturally, you will be Brother Feng's only princess."

Can a normal person say such a thing?!

Luo Qi came back to her senses, trembling with anger: "Get out, I don't want to be with a madman!"

"Miss Luo, are you alert now?" He approached her step by step, "But it's too late."

"you you……"

Luo Qi, who was so weak that she could barely even tie a chicken, didn't have the chance to utter another word before she was knocked unconscious by Xiao Bingxin using a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills.
