The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

The sudden change caught everyone off guard. Sikong Jin and Xing Fuhua exchanged a glance and returned to their seats. Immediately afterward, the eunuch beside the Emperor of Dayong came over and quietly brought out General Zhu Yuan, the Protector of the Nation, Ji Jiucheng, the Grand Master of the Central State Council, and Yang Hong, the Left Prime Minister.

The atmosphere at the birthday banquet suddenly became somewhat oppressive, and everyone was filled with doubt and confusion. Sikong Jin subconsciously glanced at Xing Qitian and found his gaze as dark as the sea...

"Do you think something happened? Is there some situation at the border?"

Tang Jingyao secretly guessed, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. "Lanzhou City is close to the border of Dongzhou and borders Nanliang. Could it be that the Great Zhou... is the Great Zhou army really going to attack our Dayong?"

"Impossible. If they send troops, how could the Crown Prince of Dibei still be here? They are forcing us to take action against the Crown Prince of Dibei."

Ji Wuge analyzed.

After thinking for a long time, Sikong Jin agreed with Ji Wuge's point of view: "It is impossible for the Great Zhou to take action against the Great Yong for the time being; it must be something else."

As Sikong Jin spoke, she subconsciously looked up at Di Beizun diagonally opposite her, but Di Beizun simply glanced back at her indifferently, his deep eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Borrow troops!"

After a long while, Sikong Jin suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Borrowing troops?"

Tang Jingyao frowned in surprise, and Ji Wuge was also slightly taken aback.

"The Emperor understands the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' better than anyone else."

"Yes, if the Great Zhou army were to besiege the capital of Southern Liang, then Southern Liang would most likely request military assistance from our Great Yong. Therefore, the fact that the Great Zhou envoy, the Crown Prince of the Northern Empire, personally came to the capital of Great Yong suggests that his purpose... could not simply be a marriage alliance with Great Yong; it is highly likely that..."

"Stop the Dayong from borrowing troops from the Southern Liang!"

"We had already received intelligence that he came directly from the border. Although his entourage departed from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we heard that he encountered several large-scale assassination attempts along the way. How come he was unharmed? And don't forget, he refused to receive any guests for the first few days after his entourage arrived in the capital!"

Ji Wuge raised his head and looked at Di Beizun, only to find that he was no longer in that position.

"It's probably not that simple..."

……

The three brothers were making their own guesses, while the hall was once again filled with singing and dancing. Grand Master Ji Jiucheng and Lord Xingqi Tian seemed unaffected by the little incident just now, and were still chatting happily.

However, the good times didn't last long. Not long after, a strongman rushed into the hall in a panic.

"It's terrible! Your Majesty the Empress... The Emperor is furious and wants to kill Prince Ming! You must go and see!"

The entire hall fell silent.

"What did you say?"

The empress thought she had misheard.

"Your Majesty the Empress... is in the Imperial Garden! You must go and see! The Emperor is furious, and even General Zhu can't hold him back!"

"what on earth is it?"

The Empress then hurriedly got up and quickly walked outside.

Everyone was greatly puzzled again; they had been surprised many times during this birthday banquet!

Duan Wang Xingqitian and Ji Jiucheng, the Grand Secretary, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt. After thinking for a moment, they finally stood up and followed him out.

Seeing this, Ji Wuge also grabbed Sikong Jin and hurriedly chased after them...

A large group of people followed and rushed towards the Imperial Garden. Just as they reached the entrance, they could see a crowd gathered in the waterside pavilion, and the Emperor's furious voice could be faintly heard.

As I walked over, I could see two people kneeling in front of the emperor from afar.

One male and one female.

Their clothes were disheveled, and they were shivering in the warm sunlight.

As Sikong Jin approached, she saw that the woman had disheveled hair, a few beads of sweat on her forehead, and her pale purple dress was wrinkled and messy. She then examined her face closely—

Ho!

Liu Xianxian!

Lord Sikong was stunned, pointing a finger at Liu Xianxian with a shocked expression, his delicate face filled with disbelief, "Liu Xianxian? No way?"

At this moment, Liu Xianxian's face was unusually flustered, her charming face was still slightly flushed, her eyebrows still held a hint of allure, and there were some exposed marks on her neck, all of which clearly told her what kind of passionate experience she had just gone through!

Lady Sikong then looked at the man kneeling beside Liu Xianxian, and upon seeing him, she was immediately captivated. She tightly gripped Ji Wuge's arm.

Your Highness, Prince Ming, is fortunate to be Ming!

"Good heavens, how did those two get involved?"

Ji Wuge stared blankly at the two kneeling on the ground. Without asking, he knew at a glance what had happened and that the Emperor was furious.

"Father, I have been framed! Please believe me!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened either, Your Majesty, I..."

"Your Majesty, Xian'er is young and doesn't understand things. This old minister begs Your Majesty to show leniency!"

Liu Changyue and the Empress also pleaded for mercy in a panic.

"Look at the bastard you raised!"

Emperor Dayong's face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his sharp eyes flashed with a cold light as he coldly glanced at the Empress.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! I know I was wrong! I'm innocent! Please, Your Majesty, spare Ming'er! He must have been framed. You can't imprison him in the imperial jail!"

"You've disgraced me to this extent, and you still dare to cry foul? Empress, you've truly disappointed me! Prince Ming, what else do you have to say?"

"Father, I have said everything I need to say. I have truly been framed. Someone drugged my wine. I implore you to investigate this matter thoroughly and bring me justice!"

Although Xing Yiming's face was filled with panic, he was still able to maintain some composure. When he said these words through gritted teeth, his gaze was directed at the calm-faced Prince Lie, Xing Yilie, whose eyes held a hint of sarcasm.

Emperor Da Yong took in Xing Yiming's reaction, subconsciously glanced at Xing Yilie, pondered for a moment, and immediately understood—

This matter is not simple!

They tried every means to incite a fight between Xing Yiming and Xing Yilie. After Xing Yiming got into this mess, the first person he thought of would take action against him was his rival, Xing Yilie!

As everyone knows, the Liu family has always supported Xing Yilie. Now that Liu Xianxian has suddenly had this incident with Xing Yiming, in order to quell this farce, Liu Xianxian must marry Xing Yiming. As a result, the Liu family will definitely reconsider, and the conflict between Xing Yiming and Xing Yilie will escalate!

So, if the brothers Xing Yiming and Xing Yilie turn against each other and their conflict intensifies, who will benefit the most?

Emperor Da Yong hardly needed to think; the answer was already obvious in his mind!

A cold, gloomy look suddenly surfaced in his eyes as he turned to look at Kouzaki Ten beside him…
