Helian Sheng weakly whispered to Helian Mo, "The fourth brother doesn't have a wife or concubine, so why not give it to him?"

“I don’t know.”

The two of them swallowed their conversation and walked forward together. Helian Chi stood there waiting for them.

"Fourth brother, is there anything wrong?" Helian Sheng said without any guilt, "If nothing, why not go to Shangyang Tower and sit down."

"Can."

The three princes rode in the same carriage, and the ministers not far away had different expressions.

"Lord Ning, I heard that you sent your concubine to the Third Prince for a trial marriage? Hahaha... good job! You're brave!" Marquis Lu patted Lord Ning's shoulder and laughed heartily.

Lord Ning's face was extremely long, but he had to smile and say: "My Lord, you are joking. It's all my wife's fault. She was born in the countryside and is really uneducated. I will teach her a lesson when I get back!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Marquis Lu's eyes, and he cursed Lord Ning inwardly. How could a woman make the decision on such a matter? He actually pushed it onto a woman! He is simply a weakling, and he is not capable of taking on such a big responsibility! Marquis Lu saw the prince and Zheng Xuan coming out from the corner of his eye, and he stepped forward with his hands clasped and smiled: "I have seen the prince."

"Lord Lu, there is no need to be so polite." The prince's eyes were clear and sparkling. "Lord Lu, you have worked hard to entertain the Dongning envoys these days."

"Serving the king is what I should do." Marquis Lu said politely and glanced at Zheng Xuan. "Your Majesty ordered me to host a banquet for exchanges between the two countries. I am bound to be lacking in thought. I would like to invite Lord Zheng to go with me so that I can give some suggestions to avoid damaging our country's prestige in front of the small country of Dongning."

At this point, there was no reason for Zheng Xuan not to go, so the two of them bowed to the prince and left. - April 3rd, Shangyang Tower.

At dusk, several exquisite and luxurious carriages drove into Shangyang Tower.

Miss Ning Liu was accompanied by a maid, who was pretty, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her name was Qing'er.

"Miss, the Third Prince is so kind to you. The lanterns in the building are so gorgeous. They must have cost a lot of money!"

"Okay, let's go in first."

The west building of Shangyang Tower is not receiving guests today, and now only Helian Mo and Helian Sheng are present.

When the prince arrived, singing and dancing were already going on. There were only a few people sitting on the huge stage, and it looked empty yet magnificent.

"Why hasn't fourth brother arrived yet? Is he stuck with something?" Helian Mo sounded a little impatient.

The prince took his seat and explained, "The fourth brother went to the Imperial Master's residence to pick up Zhaoyang and encountered two groups of assassins. They should be here soon."

Helian Sheng played with the white jade wine glass, smiling: "Old Four is so unlucky, being assassinated in broad daylight."

"Those assassins had peach blossom tattoos on their bodies. Those who were captured all committed suicide by taking poison. Not a single one was left alive." The prince spoke slowly, "The person behind this is still under investigation."

The smile in Helian Sheng's eyes froze, and he continued calmly: "We must find out as soon as possible, and we can't let Fourth Brother be frightened in vain."

Miss Ning Liu and Qing'er came over leisurely and were about to greet them when Helian Mo rushed over and pulled them to sit on a chair.

"Today you are the birthday star, you are the greatest."

Miss Ning Liu smiled and nodded slightly apologetically: "Your Highness, Second Prince, I am sorry for being rude."

"It's okay. Today is your birthday. Just be happy. Why bother about those empty formalities?" The prince said gently.

Helian Sheng agreed: "Yes, don't be so reserved."

Several people were eating, drinking and chatting, mainly Helian Mo chatting with Miss Ning Liu. It seemed as if he had endless things to say to Miss Ning Liu.

As far as he was killing enemies on the frontier and eating raw mutton after being trapped, or as recent as he ate a few bowls of rice and went to the toilet several times at noon today.

The prince and Helian Sheng really couldn't bear to watch, but they also felt a little envious of Helian Mo.

About a quarter of an hour later, Helian Chi and Helian Yu arrived late. There was a faint smell of blood on their bodies, which was light and not quite real.

"Happy birthday, this is a gift for Miss Ning."

Xingchun handed over an exquisite square box.

"Thank you, Princess Zhaoyang." Miss Ning Liu curved her eyes to express her gratitude.

"She was scared? Don't be ridiculous." Helian Chi continued, "She threw the darts very accurately, and each dart hit the assassin's heart. This little girl also poisoned the darts. All the assassins she stabbed turned into blood, and not even a bone was left."

Several people looked at Helian Yu, indescribably shocked.

Helian Sheng murmured, and asked the question that puzzled several people: "Isn't Xiao Yu'er afraid?"

"Not bad." Helian Yu was calm and composed. "My master trained me the same way. He would deliberately throw a dart for me to dodge. It was also poisoned. I'm used to it."

Xingchun lowered her eyebrows slightly and twitched the corners of her mouth. Her master was really good at spreading rumors.

It had been rainy these past few days, and the master had been teasing the Imperial Master the whole day, causing the Imperial Master to become upset. He grabbed a handful of darts and wanted to stab the master, and even threatened to poison them.

But in the end he was reluctant to do so, and the master pulled the imperial teacher's clothes and acted coquettishly. The imperial teacher could only throw away the dart and warn the master not to do it again next time.

Of course, in reality, the master will dare to do it again next time.

Xingchun had a clear understanding of his master's words. Except for clear orders, he should not believe anything that came out of her mouth.

"The Imperial Master has gone too far!" Helian Sheng stood up for Helian Yu.

"Will Second Brother help me teach Master a lesson?" Helian Yu asked expectantly.

Helian Sheng blinked and picked up the wine glass on the table: "What kind of food does Miss Ning Liu like? Let's order some food. It's getting late. Let's go to the flying bridge later. There will be an auction at the East Building. See what you like and ask the third brother to buy a few for you."

Miss Ning Liu nodded awkwardly and glanced at Helian Yu.

Helian Yu was silent, and complained to Helian Chi: "Men are really unreliable."

Helian Chi rubbed her hair: "Fourth brother is still very reliable."

Later, Red Girl led a group of handsome men and beautiful women to serve the dishes. Every move was full of beauty, and they followed the beat of the pipa, which was very ceremonial.

The dishes on the table are bright and exquisite, which whets people's appetite.

Helian Yu picked up the small wine pot, jumped to the ground, and poured a glass of wine for Miss Ning Liu first, which made her flattered. Then he started with the Crown Prince, then poured for the Fourth Prince, and finally poured her own glass. Not surprisingly, she was stopped.

"Xiao Yu'er, you are young, you are not allowed to drink."

"Wouldn't some little girl think that if she poured a table of wine, no one would notice that she couldn't drink?"

"You are drinking illegally."

Helian Yu watched the others clinking glasses and nodded: "It will take effect in two hours~"

Helian Chi looked at her: "What?"

Helian Yu said mysteriously: "You will know in two hours. Come and eat! Eat more!"

As Helian Yu spoke, he picked up a piece of duck meat that was as thin as a cicada's wing and paired it with a piece of cucumber slice that was crystal clear and carved like a phoenix. It was a visual enjoyment as well as a taste enjoyment.

Helian Yu actively fed the people, picking up food for several people, and even walked around the table, picking up a lot of food for each person.

No one understood what she was doing, and they always felt uneasy, but until the end, Helian Yu did not cause any trouble.

It's just... so wrong.

On the flying bridge.

Helian Mo embraced Miss Ning Liu and kissed her passionately, with a big, round moon serving as a backdrop behind them.

Helian Yu bit her sleeve and whimpered while sitting in the carriage: "They have a good relationship."

Helian Chi took a glance and then looked away, not understanding what the point of gnawing on it was. They had just finished their meal, and although they had rinsed their mouths, they still felt nauseous.

He covered Helian Yu's eyes, coldly extinguishing her enthusiasm: "What are you looking at? No one asked you to kiss."
