The garden was brightly lit, and when the candlelight shone on Meng Jiuan's face, Li Shengyi only saw his cheeks flushed.
I don’t know if it was because I drank too much or because of the cold wind.
The other party didn't seem to see Li Shengyi and the other two returning. The long sword in his hand made a sharp sound when he swung it, scaring people away.
"General, I'll ask you one last time, Yun Bixian, where on earth did you hide Qin Yuanqing?!"
Not only were Meng Jiuan's cheeks flushed, but even his eyes were bloodshot.
His facial expression was tense, and his eyes were fixed on Yun Bixian in front of him.
The latter was frightened by his action. If he had not been protected by the guards in front of him, he would have crawled under the table long ago because his whole body was trembling.
Li Shengyi heard that Meng Jiuan was making a fuss because of Qin Songmo.
The expression on her face froze, and she immediately walked forward to inquire about the situation.
"Miss, be careful. Swords have no eyes."
Qingfeng's expression was not much better than Li Shengyi and Meng Jiuan's.
As soon as Meng Jiuan finished speaking, he looked around.
After not seeing that familiar figure, the aura emanating from him suddenly became cold and fierce.
Qingfeng's voice made Meng Jiuan temporarily stop swinging his sword.
However, just as he turned his head to look at Qingfeng and the other two, Yun Bixian, who was hiding behind the guards, immediately raised his voice and spoke.
"Quick! Catch him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jiuan, who was standing on the table, was instantly dragged by the ankle by Yun Bixin's guards.
The guard exerted force with his wrist, and the ministers hiding in the corners heard a dull thud of something heavy falling in the garden.
When Li Shengyi saw Meng Jiuan being bullied, he immediately pulled Qingfeng forward.
"Stop it, everyone!"
Chu Huaiyuan's appearance caused a flash of panic in Yun Bixin's eyes, and then he fell to his knees and kowtowed three times to Chu Huaiyuan.
"Your Highness, please help me. Please be discerning. Lord Qin just went to the toilet alone. I don't know where he went!"
Meng Jiuan, who was pinned to the ground by the guards, immediately started cursing at him when he heard this.
"Bullshit! Do you think I didn't see the way you schemed at the dinner table?"
"If Qin Yuanqing loses even a hair today, this general will chop off one of your arms!"
"Shengyi, go save your father!"
Meng Jiuan was forced to the ground. He was a great general, but he was stepped on by two guards.
Seeing this, Li Sheng turned his head to look at Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, go find my dad."
Qingfeng's face was solemn, "But Miss, the Prime Minister asked me to..."
"My father can't be in trouble. Meng Jiuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are here. What can happen to me? Go quickly."
When he thought about Qin Songmo's thin and sickly body being framed by the villain, Li Shengyi even forgot his usual calmness and self-control.
He reached out and pushed Qingfeng, and saw him quickly leave to search the entire Bachelor's Mansion, when he heard Yun Bixian speak again.
"I told you that Lord Qin was just going to the restroom. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't see Lord Qin on the road just now?"
Chu Huaiyuan and Li Shengyi had just returned from the pavilion and did not meet anyone else on the way.
Not to mention Qin Songmo's figure.
Seeing Chu Huaiyuan didn't answer, Yun Bixian snorted coldly and said, "I have assisted Your Majesty for more than twenty years. Now, Lord Qin is just going to the toilet and you want to thoroughly search my residence."
"Your Highness, if you acquiesce to this move, won't it chill the hearts of the ministers?"
Chu Huaiyuan didn't expect that Yun Bixin would actually put a high hat on his head.
A hint of coldness now appeared on his usually kind face.
But he was far away from Yun Bixin, so the latter only noticed that his expression changed, but did not see the coldness on his face.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but Yun Bixian kowtowed three times to him again, "I don't ask Your Highness to treat me fairly, I just ask Your Highness not to disappoint the other ministers."
Some of the ministers present followed Yun Bixian's lead.
Yun Bixian knelt down and kowtowed, and the ministers who followed him also knelt down, begging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to disappoint everyone.
Chu Huaiyuan didn't say a word, but he was praised again and again.
Fortunately, he had already known that this was a Hongmen Banquet. Chu Huaiyuan's throat rolled over. He took a step forward and was about to move forward when he felt his sleeve being pulled.
He lowered his head along his sleeve and saw that Li Shengyi had run in front of him at some point.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw the little bun in front of him shook his head at him seriously.
Then, he saw her lips part and silently said "I'll do it."
The crown prince is the heir to the throne. Seeing that Chu Hong was about to die, Chu Hong had already issued an imperial decree that the future king of the Great Chu would be Chu Huaiyuan.
Before, when Chu Hongfu was lucky and still had a few years to live, the second prince and the fifth prince had not yet shown any wolfish ambitions.
However, in recent years, Chu Hong's health has been deteriorating, and everything Chu Huaiyuan did was flawless. The Second Prince and others could not find any other evidence to slander Chu Huaiyuan.
You can only create evidence.
Now Yun Bixian’s birthday is one of the evidences they created.
As long as Chu Huaiyuan stands up to speak for Qin Songmo and Meng Jiuan today, he will be accused of "favoring Prime Minister Qin and wrongly accusing important officials."
Li Shengyi withdrew his gaze from Chu Huaiyuan.
She returned to Meng Jiuan and saw that the two guards were still holding him down. She put her hands on her hips and put on an arrogant and unhappy look on her face.
"Do you know who you are stepping on?"
"This is General Meng, who recaptured the city for Great Chu. If you treat him like this today, aren't you afraid that he will be drowned in the spit of the people one day?"
"If he hadn't been drunk and uncoordinated, do you think you could have subdued him with your mediocre skills?"
"Meng Jiuan, why are you so cowardly? Just two small minions can suppress you. Where is the courage you showed when you killed the Xiongnu? Show them!"
Li Shengyi's crisp voice fell into everyone's ears. When Yun Bixian heard what she said, a deep meaning emerged between his eyebrows.
She was clearly just a five-year-old child, so why did he hear a threat in her words?
As the general who protects the country, Meng Jiuan would be in trouble if someone tells others what happened in the scholar's residence today.
Those people who support and love Meng Jiuan...
His face was slightly gloomy, and Yun Bixian's mouth twitched.
Seeing the guards' embarrassed expressions falling on him, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Miss Shengyi is right. Why don't you let go of General Meng!"
Since the master had said so, the guards did not dare to act rashly.
He immediately released the hands and feet that were holding Meng Jiuan and retreated behind Yun Bixian.
Li Shengyi is small and cannot pull Meng Jiuan.
But seeing him lying on the ground with red eyes, she couldn't help but frown, "Get up, don't you still want to look for my dad?"
Meng Jiuan then blinked and slowly sat up from the ground.
