The lazy beauty dotes on her husband so much, she deserves to have a partner
Chapter 225: The Weak Prince Protects the Hostage of the Enemy Country Again (5)
Gu Qingqing sat opposite, his eyes fixed in the direction of Bai Lian.
Of course, she was not the only one who had her eyes on Bai Lian.
Bai Lian sat in his seat with a calm expression, took a sip of tea, and pretended not to notice the gazes of the people around him.
The prince sat to the left of Bai Lian, which was at the lower left of the main seat.
He looked at his younger brother entering with the Wei hostage and lowered his eyes. His handsome face bore some resemblance to Bai Lian, but his temperament was even colder.
Crown Prince Gu Jingchen is the older brother of the Second Prince Gu Lian.
I went to Lincheng two days ago to deal with refugee issues.
Just got back today.
After he came back, he heard that his younger brother had brought the Wei hostage back to the palace and had also experienced an assassination attempt.
Gu Jingchen sat upright. He glanced at the Wei hostage behind him, then said, "Lian'er, I heard that you were assassinated the day before yesterday. Is there anything wrong?"
If he hadn't been there, those killers wouldn't have died so easily.
Strange to say.
This was the first time he had seen his younger brother being assassinated since he was a child. It was obvious that he was not the heir to the throne and posed no threat to those people at all.
Unlike him, Gu Jingchen was named the crown prince shortly after he was born.
Assassination attacks are commonplace.
Gu Jingchen was worried that Gu Lian might be frightened by this.
When Bai Lian heard his brother's question, he tilted his head and said, "Brother, I'm fine."
"My brother, on the other hand, has gone out to deal with some matters, and he looks a little haggard."
Gu Jingshen rarely smiled when he received the concern from his own brother. "Lian'er, don't worry. Just go back and have a rest later."
The eunuch's voice came from outside, "The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"
All the ministers present stood up and saluted to the main seat, "Your Highness, Your Majesty."
"Everyone loves you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The ministers took their seats. The emperor glanced at the people below and smiled. "Today is our dynasty's annual flower-viewing festival banquet. Everyone, enjoy it to your heart's content. Don't be restrained!"
After the emperor spoke, the banquet began.
The folk songs and music made the place extremely lively.
Wei Mobei sat alone in his seat, watching the excitement of others with calm eyes.
No one around dared to come forward to toast.
This left Wei Mobei some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, a palace maid came over and accidentally spilled wine on Wei Mobei's clothes.
The maid hurriedly stood up and bowed her head to apologize.
"Proton, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me take you to change your clothes!"
Wei Mobei silently looked down at the clothes on his left chest that were wet with wine. He was wearing dark clothes, so it was not very obvious.
He raised his head, his expression calm, "No need."
He had seen this kind of low-level trick countless times when he was a child.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry! If you don't forgive me, I will kneel down and beg you to forgive me!"
The palace maid kneeling on the ground had attracted the attention of some people.
Wei Mobei's eyes dimmed.
"Get up and lead the way."
A trace of joy flashed across the maid's eyes. She stood up and replied, "Yes."
Wei Mobei followed the palace maid and left the banquet quietly.
Gu Qing, who had been secretly observing the movements here, curled his lips and smiled.
This time, she wanted to see how he could escape.
The prince opposite just happened to see her smile and frowned slightly.
It seems that today's banquet will not be peaceful.
He turned his head and met Bai Lian's gaze.
Bai Lian looked calm, "Brother, I'll go and untie my hands."
"Go ahead." Gu Jingchen had no doubt.
Bai Lian stood up and left the banquet quietly.
Gu Jingchen looked at Bai Lian's leaving back and was about to look away when his eyes suddenly paused.
The Wei hostage isn't here either?!
Could it be that my brother is going to look for him? !
I thought of Gu Qingqing's meaningful smile I just saw.
Gu Jingchen couldn't sit still anymore.
He said something to the emperor and empress sitting in the main seat, and then left the banquet.
The emperor was also wondering why they left one after another.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Sixth Princess were all gone, and now there were only a few princes present.
"Huan'er, is this year's flower viewing party so boring?"
The queen glanced at the empty seats and helplessly held her forehead, "Maybe this song and dance is a little boring."
After hearing this, the emperor sighed deeply.
"Forget it, let them be. Huan'er, let's continue watching."
Here, the palace maid brought Wei Mobei to a slightly remote courtyard and stopped outside the house.
"Hostage, the changing room is inside. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The palace maid half-knelt and saluted, then turned and left.
Wei Mobei's expression did not change. He looked at the room in front of him. He glanced back inadvertently and a strange color flashed quickly in his eyes.
Then he pushed open the door of the wing, walked in and closed it.
The palace maid who had already left reappeared in front of the room and carefully locked it.
Then he left quietly.
Shortly after she left, Bai Lian appeared in the corner.
Bai Lian waited for a while before walking over and using a little spiritual power to break the lock.
When he opened the door, he saw Wei Mobei standing aside and a half-dressed woman lying on the ground.
When Bai Lian saw the woman's face, she seemed to be a concubine in the emperor's harem.
When Wei Mobei saw Bai Lian, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out: "I didn't touch her!"
He guessed that there was something fishy going on, so he took advantage of the situation.
After entering, I saw that the woman had been fed aphrodisiac and there were aphrodisiac incense burning in the room.
Wei Mobei sealed his acupoints immediately.
Then the woman came over by herself, accidentally tripped over the corner of the table, and fell unconscious.
Then, this was the scene that Bai Lian saw when he came in.
Bai Lian chuckled, "I know."
"Let's go. We shouldn't stay here for long. There will be a good show here soon."
Wei Mobei nodded.
The two men left the room quietly and locked the door back to its original state.
The palace maid came to a bamboo forest.
A woman in gorgeous palace clothing and flamboyant red clothes was facing away from the palace maid.
The maid saluted to the woman in red, "Princess, the hostage has already gone in."
"well-done."
Gu Qingqing turned around and curled her bright red lips.
"Green, reward!"
"Yes."
The personal maid Lu'er behind her handed a silver note to the palace maid.
The maid bowed and nodded, thanked the princess and left.
Seeing the maid walking away, Lu'er leaned close to Gu Qingqing's ear and said, "Princess, keeping her might give her something to hold against you."
"I know."
Gu Qingqing curled up the corners of her lips. She would certainly not let someone who knew her secret stay in the world.
A killer had been arranged to kill the palace maid on her way back.
"Send someone to inform the emperor and bring him to the side room."
Gu Qingqing had a determined smile on his face.
This time, she would see what Wei Mobei would do.
Bai Lian and Wei Mobei came to a pavilion, which was surrounded by lush bamboo forests. When the breeze blew, the bamboo leaves rustled.
"You are smart enough to know that they did it on purpose."
Bai Lian sat in the pavilion, his hands crossed behind his head, his back leaning against a pillar, his eyes slightly opened with a lazy look.
Because I accidentally inhaled some aphrodisiac scent just now.
Wei Mobei's cheeks were a little flushed at this moment.
But it doesn’t affect sanity.
