Da Chu's palace banquets have never been so formal, usually after drinking for three rounds, everyone will be more casual.

The emperor and the national teacher chatted speculatively, and everyone at the banquet began to be casual.

Lu Jing carried the jug to Chu Chen's table, first bowed to Concubine Rong, then sat down beside Chu Chen, and said, "According to my experience, if you don't have a pretense at this kind of palace banquet Those who greet each other, after a while, someone will come over to make friends."

Chu Chen frowned and glanced at him, and said, "Young master is here right now, isn't he?"

Lu Yuhun smiled indifferently, and reached out to pour wine for Chu Chen.

"Young Lord." Chu Chen raised his hand to cover his wine glass, and said, "I don't drink wine poured by others."

Chu Chen still hasn't forgotten the lesson of being drugged by Yang Qin last time with the bastard, and now he knows that he has gained a lot of wisdom.

"Very good." Lu Jing praised: "Your Highness needs to have such vigilance."

After Lu Jing finished speaking, she only poured wine for herself, and Chu Chen filled his wine jug, and lightly clinked glasses with Lu Jing.

On the table not far away, there was a gaze that seemed to be looking towards Chu Chen.

Although the owner of the gaze has been very restrained, he still can't hide it after all.

Just like Chu Chen, every time he pretended to look around, his eyes were a little erratic, and Lu Jing, who was sitting in front of him, could see it clearly and couldn't help sighing.

"Guess what panacea the national teacher gave His Majesty?" Lu Jing whispered in Chu Chen's ear.

Hearing this, Chu Chen glared at Lu Jing, does that mean you are tired of discussing this kind of issue here?

Lu Jing didn't hold back, and whispered: "I guess it's ecstasy soup."

"If you keep talking, you will be able to taste Mengpo soup soon." Chu Chen said.

Hearing this, Lu Jing looked at Chu Chen with a smile on her face, raised her glass and touched him again, and then drank it down in one gulp.

On the other side, the national teacher drank two cups of tea with the emperor.

The emperor now trusts the national teacher very much, knowing that the national teacher does not drink alcohol, and even does not hesitate to drink tea with him.

"Your Majesty is so lucky, the princes around you are all dragons and phoenixes." After speaking, the national teacher glanced at the princes, and said, "It's a pity that the poor don't drink, otherwise I really want to take this opportunity to have a good time with the few princes." Have a drink, Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed when he heard the words: "The national teacher has praised me absurdly. My sons really have nothing to brag about in front of His Highness the Ninth Prince."

After he finished speaking, he looked at His Highness the Ninth Prince, who was wearing a mask and couldn't see any expression, but he never gave the emperor a look from the beginning to the end.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, he dared to challenge the proton when he was alone and helpless, but now that the two countries are on good terms, and proton is about to become the prince in Yao country, naturally he won't take him seriously.

"That's His Highness the Sixth Highness, right?" The national teacher looked at Chu Chen and said suddenly.

Hearing this, the emperor followed his gaze to look at Chu Chen, and then nodded, but His Highness Ninth Prince next to him narrowed his eyes and frowned secretly.

The emperor opened his mouth and said: "The sixth son is the most worry-free one among my sons." He said this without shame, his face didn't even blush, and he didn't know how much he loved this son.

"The elder sister of His Highness the Sixth Highness is quite favored by the General in the Kingdom of Yao. To get her, the General has spent a lot of effort." The national teacher said: "Looking at it now, His Highness Six is ​​somewhat similar to Princess Ning'an, both of them are thousands of miles away. Pick a beautiful embryo."

If it was in the past, the emperor would have been furious when he heard about Princess Ning'an's remarriage.But today he was surprisingly calm, not only did not get angry, he even said in agreement: "Concubine Rong is beautiful, and the children she gave birth to me are naturally very beautiful."

The national teacher smiled slightly when he heard the words, thoughtfully.

"Your Highness." The national teacher suddenly said to His Highness Ninth Prince: "Pin Dao is not good at drinking, can Your Highness replace Pin Dao and have a drink with His Highness Six?"

His Highness Ninth Prince's eyes froze, and he looked at the national teacher, without speaking or moving.

The national teacher said again: "Your highness will still rely on the help of the general after returning home. How about taking this glass of wine today as a way of saying hello to my brother-in-law on behalf of the general?" If he refused, the scene would inevitably be awkward, so he could only get up and walk towards Chu Chen with the flagon in hand.

Lu Jing didn't know what he was talking to Chu Chen, but when he saw His Highness the Ninth Prince walking towards them, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, with a bit of hostility in his eyes.

Before Chu Chen could react, the other party had already walked to his table and filled Chu Chen's wine glass with a jug.

"No... Our Sixth Highness does not drink wine poured by others..." Before Lu Jing could finish his sentence, he saw that the other party had already picked up the wine glass and handed it to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen stared at him blankly, with a bit of surprise and panic in his eyes, but he didn't pick up the glass of wine for a long time.

The other party's deep eyes fell on Chu Chen's face, and he asked in a deep voice: "Does what His Highness said still count?"

"I don't remember." Chu Chen blurted out, then hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Which sentence?"

His Highness Ninth Prince's eyes flashed a trace of tenderness, and then he covered it up, and said to Chu Chen, "Follow me."

Chu Chen was startled when he heard this, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Then his memory surged, and finally in a very inconspicuous corner, he found an unintentional sentence that Mu Mu said.That night after Chu Chen was beaten, he had a nightmare. When Mu Mu comforted him, he casually said, "I'll take you away, okay?" There is another meaning in these words.

Today, the other party was wearing this outfit, holding a wine glass and asking him if that still counts, the meaning is self-evident.

Chu Chen couldn't help but thump in his heart, but he felt that it was extremely unreal, wooden... Is what His Highness the Ninth Prince meant by what he thought?

If he meant it that way, he was too caught off guard.

The other party is the future prince of Yao, how to take him away?Where are you going?And in what capacity?

If he was wood, Chu Chen really thought it would be no big deal to elope with him.

But he is not wood, he is the Ninth Prince of Yao Kingdom.

Chu Chen was in a state of confusion, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Jing said, "Forget it, Your Highness, please drink this glass of wine for him."

Lu Jing reached out to grab it, but His Highness Ninth Prince hid back, and Lu Jing took it empty.The two looked at each other with undisguised hostility in their eyes, but neither of them planned to give in.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, Concubine Rong was afraid that Lu Jing and His Highness Ninth Prince would fight, and seeing that Chu Chen had been silent for a long time, she came out and said, "Your Highness, let me drink this wine for Shen Er. Princess Ning An is here The country of Yao has no relatives and no reason, so in the future I will ask His Highness to take care of you."

After Concubine Rong finished speaking, she took the wine glass, this time the other party did not hide, but clinked glasses with Concubine Rong respectfully, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking the glass of wine, His Highness Jiu looked at Chu Chen again, then took another empty glass and poured a glass of wine, but this time he did not pass the wine to Chu Chen, but put it on the table, "A cup of tea If Your Highness drank this glass of wine, I will take it as your words."

After he finished speaking, he turned and returned to his original seat.

Chu Chen looked at the glass of wine on the table and felt that everything was like a dream, extremely unreal.If he drank this wine, would the other party take him to Yao Kingdom?If he didn't drink, would the two of them never have the chance to meet again?

Right now the prince has been forcing Chu Chen to get married. Chu Chen knows that no matter who he chooses, in the end it will be just two people working together for the prince. He is very sure that this is not the life he wants.If you follow His Highness the Ninth Prince, will everything get better or worse?

Chu Chen didn't know the answer, it was like a bet, the success or failure was unpredictable.

Chu Chen's eyes fell on the wine glass, and he reached out to support the rim of the wine glass, but he hesitated to take it up.

His Highness the Ninth Prince's eyes kept on his wine glass, with anticipation and apprehension in his eyes.

Chu Chen took a deep breath and slowly picked up the wine glass.He thought of the time when the man rescued him from the icy Changning Lake a long time ago, the unexpected encounter had no warning, but it was so logical.After that, everything about him and this person was absurd, but in this absurdity, there was an indelible truth everywhere.

At this moment, for some reason, Chu Chen felt a certain certainty in his heart. He felt that he might not lose this bet.

Chu Chen picked up the wine glass and put it to his mouth, but at this moment, Concubine Rong who was beside him suddenly supported the edge of the table, coughed a few times in pain, and then suddenly choked up a big mouthful of blood.

The bright red blood fell on Concubine Rong's light-colored clothes, which looked very shocking.All the female relatives in the hall screamed in fright, and the rest of the people were also shocked, not knowing how to react for a while.

Chu Chen hastily stretched out his hand to support Concubine Rong, but saw Concubine Rong's complexion was pale, blood was choking out of her mouth, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say it, and finally she tilted her head and passed out.

"This wine is poisonous!" Lu Xuan said.

As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar, and they couldn't help but all looked at His Highness Ninth Prince.

His Highness Ninth Prince poured the glass of wine just now in full view, and no one thought that he would poison the wine.

Chu Chen held the unconscious Concubine Rong in his arms, and looked up at her, with undisguised disappointment and shock in his eyes.

His Highness Ninth Prince poured that glass of wine for Chu Chen.

If Concubine Rong hadn't been poisoned, Chu Chen would have already drank another glass of wine.

Chu Chen would never have imagined that the man wearing this suit purposely and swearing to ask him if what he had said before could not be counted, turned out to be to give him a glass of poisoned wine with his own hands in the end!

After the initial daze, His Highness Ninth Prince turned his head and glanced at the national teacher, with a bone-chilling coldness in his gaze.Then he went straight to Chu Chen and knelt on the ground on one knee, took out a pill from the porcelain bottle he carried with him and planned to feed it to Concubine Rong.

Chu Chen grabbed his wrist and looked at him sharply, but didn't say a word.

But his eyes were full of distrust and undisguised anger, obviously he did not intend to allow the other party to feed this pill to Concubine Rong.

His Highness the Ninth Prince couldn't bear being pierced by Chu Chen's gaze, turned his head to avoid it, and then raised his hand to pull and press, and easily restrained Chu Chen. At the same time, he quickly stuffed the pill into Concubine Rong's mouth, and then He raised his hand and patted Concubine Rong on the back, helping the unconscious Concubine Rong swallow the pill.

The whole process was so fast that Chu Chen had no time to stop it, but Chu Chen quickly calmed down.

If the other party just wanted to poison him to death and didn't want to harm Concubine Rong, saving Concubine Rong's life is not impossible.

After all, what the other party originally wanted was his life...
