Just as a look of surprise appeared on Qin Songmo's 'drunk' face, he saw his little daughter, who was originally sitting next to him, jump off the chair and run away.
His expression suddenly darkened.
He raised his eyes to look at Yun Bixin who had returned to his seat not far away. The hand that was originally holding the chopsticks reached behind his back and shook it lightly.
Qingfeng, who was standing behind, frowned and left immediately after seeing this.
Perhaps his presence was too low, and no one noticed when he was gone.
Perhaps Yun Bixian was feeling guilty. When he saw that Li Shengyi was not in his seat, the smile on his face froze and his eyes fell on Qin Songmo.
"Master Qin, your daughter is worth a lot of gold..."
The one who answered him was Qin Songmo's hazy eyes filled with drunkenness.
Yun Bi first knew that Qin Songmo was not good at drinking.
The latter was weak, and many imperial doctors and physicians had treated him over the years.
But heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. The medicine that can cure Qin Songmo was buried many years ago. No one knows when he will close his eyes and pass away.
It is also because of this that Qin Songmo always drinks tea instead of wine when attending various banquets of all sizes and rarely drinks alcohol.
If the prince had not been present today, he would not have drunk those two glasses of wine.
Yun Bixian looked at him, almost drunk, and raised the corners of his lips slightly before grabbing the wine glass beside him. "Master Qin, I'll toast you another glass!"
Qin Songmo's expression froze when he heard this. He then lowered his head to look at the wine glass in front of him which had been filled at some point, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
However, when he looked up again, the cold light between his eyebrows had disappeared, replaced by the silly look of drunkenness.
"Master Yun, congratulations."
Even the voices became unclear.
When Yun Bixian saw this scene, his eyes rolled around in his sockets, and soon, a little thought jumped into his mind.
-
On this side, Li Shengyi, fearing to be discovered, followed Chu Huaiyuan stealthily.
The latter was indeed very drunk and could not even walk steadily. If he had not been supported by the servants from the Bachelor's Mansion, he would have fallen down by now.
He secretly complained that Chu Huaiyuan was too unvigilant. After being the crown prince for more than 20 years, how would he guard against the people around him after he became emperor with such vigilance?
The facial features on his little face wrinkled, but although he thought so in his heart, Li Shengyi did not stop.
The Bachelor's Mansion is very large, with a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. Although the landscaping seems low-key, a lot of manpower and material resources were actually mobilized inside.
In recent years, the incompetent ruler Chu Hong has become increasingly indifferent to state affairs, which has given corrupt officials like Yun Bixian an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They almost moved the national treasury back to their own homes.
Just one look around and he felt the extravagance. Li Shengyi withdrew his gaze and looked at Chu Huaiyuan and the other person walking in front of him, only to see that the servant who had been supporting him suddenly pushed him onto a rockery.
The rockery is made of various strange stones, and it is bumpy and uneven.
The moment Chu Huaiyuan fell down, Li Shengyi, who heard the muffled groan, could even empathize with him and feel the pain of falling on the rockery.
He bared his teeth and resisted the urge to rush out.
When Li Shengyi saw the servant take out a finger-sized porcelain bottle from his sleeve, he was startled. Just as he was about to scold him, he heard another exclamation.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw the drunken Chu Huaiyuan pressing down the servant, and her eyes widened slightly.
"what are you up to?"
"You want to murder me?"
Can you still be conscious when you are drunk?
Li Shengyi took back what he said about Chu Huaiyuan not being vigilant.
Seeing the servant being pinned down on the rockery by him, Li Shengyi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still vigilant, just not too much.
Because just after he finished speaking, the servant suddenly struggled violently, and both of them fell to the ground with a dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Seeing Chu Huaiyuan being pushed to the ground, Li Shengyi, who was hiding in the corner, grabbed the hem of her skirt and was about to rush forward.
The reversal of events happened the moment she lifted up her skirt.
Seeing the servant who had been sitting on Chu Huaiyuan suddenly fall down, she took back the steps she had taken and lowered her breathing.
Chu Huaiyuan pushed away the servant who fell in his arms. When he raised his head, perhaps because he was too excited, his brows were furrowed and he raised his hand to his forehead.
He let out a painful groan, and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a small porcelain bottle beside him. As he reached out to grab it, his thin lips opened slightly.
"Come out, you've been following me for so long, you must be tired."
Li Shengyi didn't realize at first that Chu Huaiyuan was talking about him.
She turned her head to look behind her, and when she saw Qingfeng who had caught up with her at some point, she winked at him, signaling him to leave quickly.
Qingfeng twitched his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is calling you."
Chu Huaiyuan was still sitting on the ground playing with the porcelain bottle in his hand. When he heard what Qingfeng said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
When he looked up, he saw the little dumpling he had been watching all night slowly walking towards him.
Chu Huaiyuan's frown relaxed, and realizing that he was still sitting on the ground, he quickly stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
"I originally thought it was General Meng. Why would Shengyi follow you?"
Li Shengyi looked up at the person in front of him and saw that his cheeks were flushed. The face that was originally full of drunkenness no longer had any sign of drunkenness.
She blinked and whispered, "Is Your Highness pretending to be drunk?"
Chu Huaiyuan bent down and wanted to pinch her little face.
Then he remembered that he was drunk and his hands were on the ground, so he must be very dirty.
He withdrew his hand regretfully and nodded, "Your father told me about Yun Bixian."
"Of course, he also praised you for being smart and that he didn't need to hide things from you."
"I didn't believe it before, but now that I see it, it's true."
Li Shengyi uttered an 'ah' sound, "My father said..."
Chu Huaiyuan smiled at her, "Yes, Lord Qin did, but how could Shengyi have known that I would frame you tonight?"
Li Shengyi had no idea that Yun Bixin was so bold that he actually dared to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the birthday banquet.
Pointing at the porcelain vase in the other person's hand, she said, "I saw it. Lord Yun gave this to your servant."
Chu Huaiyuan opened his palm, revealing the porcelain bottle in it, "Shengyi is really amazing, and also cute and smart."
"If my children are like Shengyi in the future..."
"Well, sorry to interrupt," Li Shengyi suddenly raised his hand to stop the person in front of him from fantasizing about the future.
"Your Highness, there is something I am not sure whether I should say or not."
"But if you don't want me to tell you, you will definitely regret it!"
