Two days later was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gu Linchen asked Yun Qi to accompany him to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace...

Yunqi, feeling relieved that her mission was complete, agreed. She also wanted to see what the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the Tianqing Kingdom's palace was like.

This time, Yunqi dressed as a man and also disguised her face, so no one could tell that she was a woman.

Yingyi clicked his tongue in admiration: "Miss Chu's disguise skills are truly amazing!"

Yunqi glanced at him sideways: "Isn't it inappropriate for you to call me 'Miss Chu' anymore?"

"Then what should I call you?"

"Chu Yun, or Brother Chu."

Gu Linchen bowed respectfully and said, "I'll leave the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to Brother Chu."

Yunqi returned the greeting: "Of course, of course."

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yun Qi and Ying Yi followed Gu Linchen on either side. After they were seated, a song and dance performance began.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Yunqi quietly asked, "Are we just going to watch?"

Yingyi pouted: "What, you still want to eat?"

Yunqi pouted: "I should have come secretly... Why did I have to pretend to be a guard? I couldn't even get any food..."

Shadow One: "..."

A palace maid came over to pour wine, and Yunqi keenly noticed that the maid fiddled with the wine pot.

Gu Linchen was about to drink when Yun Qi stopped him and said softly, "This wine is not safe to drink. The maid just stirred the wine pot; the wine must have been switched. Do you want me to verify it?"

Gu Linchen shook his head: "There are too many people here, it's not convenient to verify, I won't drink it."

A man picked up a wine glass and stood up: "Fourth brother, I toast you!"

He then raised his glass and finished it, gesturing to Gu Linchen.

Gu Linchen remained calm, concealing his drink with his sleeve as he downed it, though he actually spilled the entire amount onto his sleeve.

Seeing that Gu Linchen had finished his drink, the man sat down with satisfaction.

After a while, Gu Linchen pretended to be unwell, excused himself, and left the table. Yun Qi helped him leave.

Yunqi sniffed his damp sleeve and teased, "An aphrodisiac!"

Gu Linchen's expression was unpleasant...

Yunqi: "When you leave your seats, do you have a designated rest area?"

Gu Linchen was very clever and understood Yun Qi's meaning: "Indeed, the banquet will provide us with designated rooms to rest in."

"There might be a stunningly beautiful woman in your room right now~~"

Gu Linchen glanced at her sideways: "Is this something a young lady should say?"

Yunqi puffed out her chest: "I am a man now!"

Yunqi then asked, "What are your plans?"
