The atmosphere at the banquet became somewhat awkward.

Liu Wei laughed heartily: "Come on, let's keep drinking!"

Just then, Cui Hao's men and Empress Dowager Dong's men saw that the drinking inside was in full swing, and noticed that Xue Rengui and Yao Guangxiao were not there.

There were only four or five guards protecting the main tent, and they were all outside the tent.

They all stood up at the same time, intending to use the excuse of going in to toast the prince and take the opportunity to make their move.

Unexpectedly, two of their guards got up before them, picked up their wine cups, and quickly walked to the entrance of the main tent!

Both Cui Hao's men and Empress Dowager Dong's men were greatly surprised upon seeing this.

hiss!

These two are not on their side at all!

Were they also assassins who wanted to kill the prince?

Immediately, Cui Hao and Empress Dowager Dong's factions could only sit still and wait and see what would happen.

"What do you intend to do?"

Yang Yi, who was guarding the door with four guards, immediately stopped them.

"We have come all the way from Luoyang, and have long heard of Your Highness's great achievements. We deeply admire you and would like to offer you a cup of wine to express our respect!"

The two of them spoke with great seriousness.

Yang Yi was about to question him further when Liu Wei, who had already overheard the conversation inside the tent, had an idea.

Could these two be a group of people with ulterior motives, about to take action?

"Yang Yi, let them in!"

Liu Wei immediately waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The two were overjoyed and came in together, showering Liu Wei with compliments, praising him to the skies!

Um?

Listening to the two talking non-stop, Liu Wei felt tense and tired all over.

Even the skilled members of the Imperial Guards disguised as servants were getting impatient.

However, the two still showed no signs of making a move.

"The princess is truly as beautiful as a fairy. If the moon in the sky could see her, it would probably hide behind the clouds!"

One of them glanced, seemingly unintentionally, at Diao Chan standing next to Liu Wei, remarking, "Truly a beauty that could eclipse the moon!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on acquiring such a beauty."

"Let's toast Your Highness again!"

Liu Wei listened carefully, filled with suspicion.

The Four Beauties of ancient China are said to have the qualities of "fish sinking and geese falling from the sky," "moon hiding and flowers blushing," with "moon hiding" referring to Diao Chan.

How could this person know?

However, when Diao Chan heard the phrase "the moon hides its face," she was startled and almost dropped her chopsticks.

She bit her lip tightly, her eyes fixed on the man, her breathing becoming rapid.

After they finished speaking, the two men slowly took their leave of the tent.
