Mu Qingli naturally noticed her gaze but he just looked back as if he knew nothing. He acted innocent and immediately made Concubine An very angry.

But if she was unhappy, the queen would be happy. She immediately restrained the smile that she could hardly hold back, and put on a worried look and a gloomy face.

"Master Xu, you're an old servant of His Majesty, how can you not even speak clearly? Why don't you tell me what happened to His Royal Highness Prince An? He's the Imperial Concubine's beloved son. If anything happens to him, who among you can take the responsibility?"

And Princess Liyin and Prince Chi are our guests from Dayan who have come all the way here. We can’t let anything happen to them in the palace, right?”

The emperor had the same thought in his mind, and he squinted his eyes and spoke angrily with some displeasure.

"What happened? Why don't you tell me quickly?"

It would have been fine if they didn't ask, but as soon as they did, Nanny He's expression became even more strange, and she quickly lowered her head to minimize her presence.

Thinking of the scene she saw when she entered the room just now, she almost wanted to poke her eyes out. It really dirty her eyes! Oh my god~

Xu Han was conflicted and helpless, and finally he had to harden his heart, close his eyes and directly confess the news he had just heard.

"Xiao Quanzi said he saw...Princess Liyin and His Royal Highness Prince An sleeping in the same bed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and many people secretly widened their eyes.

Even Lu Tingqi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then quickly lowered his eyes to hide the deep thoughts in his eyes.

Could it be the Imperial Concubine's doing? Although the people of Dongyi Kingdom came here to form a marriage alliance with the Dayan royal family, the actual candidate for the prince has not yet been decided. Now that such a scene has happened, I'm afraid Princess Liyin will have no choice but to marry Lu Shaocong. The Imperial Concubine's style of behavior is really as arrogant as ever!

Lu Junli also widened his eyes in surprise, and glanced at the others with sparkling eyes, wanting to go over and see what was going on.

Oh my god, isn't the Third Prince too bold? Even if Princess Liyin is beautiful, he can't really sleep with her, right? Father hasn't even decided on the candidate yet, but he has already decided~

But this is just right. After all, he doesn't want to marry a woman from another country. With the third brother's help, he can relax.

The emperor's face suddenly turned hot and cold. He stood up with an angry look, shouted "Lead the way", and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

The faces of those people from Dongyi Country had turned pale long ago, and they hurriedly followed without saying a word.

The queen coughed twice and stood up, turning her head to give the imperial concubine an instruction.

"This matter is urgent. I need to go with you to take a look. I'll leave this place to you, Noble Concubine. We are all sisters in the palace, so you have to consider the overall situation, right?"

Concubine An didn't expect that she spoke so quickly and blocked her way to follow. Her gentle smile almost disappeared, and in the end she could only respond with a dark face and gritted teeth.

But he also quickly gave a look to the person next to him, asking her to follow suit and deal with the situation accordingly.

Such a commotion occurred at a palace banquet, and all the civil and military officials frowned and said nothing, but they didn't dare to go along. It would have been fine if the people in trouble were the princes and princesses of the two countries and their envoys who went along.

Lu Zhiyao didn't sit back in her seat. She looked around and pulled a cushion over. Then she sat down next to Mu Qingli and asked softly.

"Are you okay?"

Mu Qingli looked at her with gentle eyes, smiled slightly and shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.

Everything has been arranged. As the saying goes, I won't offend others unless they offend me. If it weren't for some people in the palace being so self-righteous and arrogant, she wouldn't have wanted to bother with this.

Lu Junli wanted to follow, but his mother glared at him and he had to sit back with a bitter face. However, after a while, he couldn't help but move over to talk to Lu Tingqi beside him.

"Royal brother, is it such a coincidence that you two met each other? I didn't expect that Sister Huining and Miss Mu have such a good relationship."

Lu Tingqi still had a faint smile on his face. He glanced at her gently and asked softly, "What? Are you still suspecting that I'm lying?"

Lu Junli was stunned by the question. After he realized what was going on, he quickly waved his hand to make it clear that he didn't mean that.

"No, no, I just wanted to ask. After all, Miss Mu hasn't been back for years, and she hasn't attended many banquets since returning to Beijing. No one knows much about her. I'm just quite curious."

Lu Tingqi looked at him, smiled, raised his hand and drank the wine in his hand, glanced over there, and couldn't help but recall the scene not long ago, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised slightly.

To be honest, he should thank the imperial concubine. After all, if she hadn't attacked the girl from the Mu family first, the girl would have noticed and escaped, and happened to meet him, which would have given him the opportunity to be a hero and save the girl.

It would have been fine if Mu Yuan hadn't returned to the capital before, but now that the war was about to end, it was time for Mu Yuan to return to the capital. He was also a man who knew how to repay favors, so he had simply won over the General's Mansion without having to spend a single soldier. He was in such a good mood at the moment.

Perhaps because he was too happy, Lu Tingqi turned his head and asked the palace servant beside him to pour him another cup. He didn't notice that someone in the crowd not far away was looking at him coldly with ridicule in his eyes.

Mu Qingli lowered his eyes to hide the almost tangible sarcasm in his eyes, and he was in a good mood. That's how it should be. If you want to destroy someone, you must first give. If you want to destroy a person, you should start from his most proud point and silently make him lose what he wants most.

The members of the delegation had already left, but despite the huge commotion in the hall, the sound of small discussions could not help but rise. Since the emperor and empress were not around, the officials could not help but whisper to each other.

"Hey, what on earth is going on? Are those people all drunk?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was just an accident."

"That's not necessarily true, is it? Doesn't that guy just like young and pretty girls like this? Besides, with his boss protecting him, he's been acting recklessly all these years. I'm not surprised at all that he's caused such a thing now."

Tang Kun sat upright, squinting his eyes at the wine glass in his hand, as if he was completely unaware of the whispers of others in the hall.

But some people came over curiously and asked him, "Prime Minister, what do you think is going on?"

Tang Kun looked calm, holding the wine glass in his hand and scolding them.

"Shut up! What kind of place is this? How dare you discuss the affairs of the Heavenly Family so brazenly? Do you all think your heads are too strong?"

After being scolded by him, the officials who were drunk from drinking were sobered up instantly. They shook their heads and sat down again without saying a word.

Gu Chengjin just took a quick glance and quickly lowered his head, hiding the gleam in his eyes.
