Chapter 111: Beili Wolf King x Central Plains Prince 47
Jiang Fuwan's fingertips turned white from pinching, "Third Prince, what does this mean..."
The singing and dancing did not stop. The hall could accommodate a hundred people, and Jiang Fuwan stood a little far away from the seats.
Only she and Qian Lingxiao could hear Qian Zhou's words. His tone was a little deep, but it carried a firm aura that could not be ignored.
"My royal brother drank too much today. You, go back now."
"Do you want me to be more blunt?"
Jiang Fuwan's face turned pale, but she couldn't think of any words to refute.
General Jiang Xiaoying saw that the situation was not right and stood up to come over. Qian Zhou stood up before him and looked down at him.
Jiang Xiaoying dared to let his daughter come forward to toast because he took advantage of the fact that Qian Lingxiao needed his help, but who would have expected that the Third Prince would interfere.
His face darkened, but he didn't move forward.
Only those who have actually been to the battlefield know how powerful the Third Prince is. Jiang Xiaoying has also experienced the Third Prince's methods.
If Qian Lingxiao wants to use him, he has to consider his face.
But to Qian Zhou, Jiang Xiaoying was just a former defeated opponent.
Jiang Fuwan gritted her teeth, a vicious look flashed across her eyes, and she turned around to look at Jiang Xiaoying with a layer of water in her eyes.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoying didn't respond, she flicked her sleeves, turned around, and walked back holding the wine glass tightly.
Qian Lingxiao completely ignored the two of them, looked at Qian Zhou, and asked, "Have you forgiven my brother?"
Qian Zhou had never given him a good look since he came back, and his protection just now was like a hook, making Qian Lingxiao's heart rise again.
He never thought about what Qian Zhou was thinking, and it was just the alcohol that was getting to him.
That little bit of joy was magnified infinitely. Qian Lingxiao did not show it on his face, but he had already gently grasped Qian Zhou's wrist.
"You stay in the palace. You can do whatever you want in the future, and you won't be restricted from going anywhere you want."
"Qian Zhou...don't blame my royal brother."
If he wants to fight for that position, he must give it up, but Qian Lingxiao also feels like he has lost his mind.
But anything concerning Qianzhou becomes too indecisive.
He lowered his eyes to look at the glass of wine in front of Qianzhou, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. It's just a glass of wine."
Qian Zhou saw that Eunuch Fu was also secretly looking at him, and he glanced at Jiang Xiaoying on the other side and raised the wine glass in front of him.
"The past is gone, like smoke."
Qian Lingxiao looked up at him when he heard that. "You...really don't care about the past anymore?"
Qian Zhou picked up his glass and clinked it with his, his eyes cast in the shadows as he said, "Seriously."
Then he tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine, his Adam's apple rolling and his long hair falling to his shoulders.
Qian Lingxiao's heartstrings were suddenly plucked. He asked Eunuch Fu to pour him a full cup and drank it down with his head tilted back.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaoying suddenly stood up and left the table, his face dark and terribly black.
Jiang Fuwan's fingers, which were pinching the hem of her clothes, turned pale and her face turned blue. She looked at Qian Lingxiao's back and pursed her lips.
Eunuch Fu was completely focused on the wine that Qian Zhou drank, his eyes shining.
This is a strong drug. Even a small amount can turn a person into a beast who only cares about seeking pleasure.
Since the Third Prince drank it, he would have a reaction within half an incense stick of time.
Countless eyes in the hall were focused on this side, the atmosphere became weird, and the singing, dancing and music gradually calmed down.
Even though Qian Lingxiao had drunk quite a bit, he had been in the palace for many years and had seen too many hidden attacks and intrigues.
Then he also noticed that some people around were staring at him with obscure eyes.
A dangerous atmosphere filled the air. Qian Lingxiao stood up and grabbed Qian Zhou's wrist, looking around fiercely.
A light laugh suddenly came from behind him, and Qian Lingxiao turned around abruptly.
"Brother, I think you are really drunk."
At this moment, something strange happened!
Qian Zhou kicked over the table, spilling the food and drinks onto the floor. The dancers in the audience drew their swords from their waists, the guards turned against them, and countless black-clad assassins swarmed out of the hall.
For a moment, the hall was filled with screams and fleeing footsteps, and everyone was frightened by this sudden change.
Eunuch Fu screamed, "Someone come! Someone come quickly!!"
"The Third Prince has rebelled! Capture him now!"
Qian Zhou kicked him to the ground, "I've disliked you for a long time!"
Qian Lingxiao's face changed, and he retreated suddenly to the side of the guard beside him, but was quickly suppressed by Qian Zhou.
"Swords have no eyes, you'd better not play tricks."
Qian Lingxiao is more thoughtful than a fox. On the surface, he is on good terms with his two brothers, but secretly, no one knows what kind of persecution he has arranged.
Qian Zhou swung his right hand, grasped the dagger in his sleeve, and held it against Qian Lingxiao's neck, shouting, "Don't move—!"
The guards who were about to rush into the hall suddenly stopped. Qian Lingxiao's neck had been cut with a bloody line, and everyone gasped.
The third prince rebelled and even dared to kidnap the crown prince in front of all the officials!
"Third Prince, what do you mean?!"
"Everyone can see the Crown Prince's affection for you, yet you treat him like this!"
Qian Zhou's face was grim, and he turned a deaf ear to the condemnations from those who stood on the high ground.
He said casually, "It's always been the same when fighting for the throne."
Qian Lingxiao's eyes widened slightly. Qian Zhou was actually trying to seize that position...
Feeling the force of the dagger in his throat, Qian Lingxiao groaned in pain.
He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Everyone step back..."
Not far away.
Eunuch Fu trembled as he got up from the ground. He slipped into an inconspicuous corner amidst the chaotic crowd, his eyes darting around in panic, "No, that's not right. Why hasn't the medicine taken effect yet..."
This shouldn't be the case. He saw the white powder being added to the wine with his own eyes. How could it have no effect when he had already drunk it?!
The maid behind Eunuch Fu pulled out a rope and tied him up in two or three strokes with astonishing force.
Eunuch Fu reacted immediately.
"You changed that pot of wine?!"
She scoffed, "Who can you fool with this little trick of yours?"
The Third Prince was very foresighted and had asked her to replace all edible food.
The situation is now settled, and all areas are controlled by Qianzhou's people. The only drawback is that there is no one outside the area.
Qian Zhou made a desperate move and all his men sneaked into the hall.
Qian Lingxiao's throat was tightly clamped at this moment. Qian Zhou said coldly: "If my royal brother dared to do those things, he should have thought about the current situation."
"If you dare to threaten me with Xiao Jintian, I will take your life."
A dark glint flashed across Qian Lingxiao's eyes. "What is your relationship with Xiao Jintian?"
"A relationship closer than you and I."
As soon as these words fell, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the hall, and everyone looked towards the door.
The chaotic noise suddenly fell silent, and a deathly heavy atmosphere filled the entire hall.
Qian Lingxiao immediately recognized that it was the person he had left to serve the emperor. The young eunuch held the imperial edict and said tremblingly:
"The Emperor—He has passed away!"
At this moment, all eyes were focused on the imperial edict. It was self-evident what it was.
The young eunuch took two tries to open the imperial edict, and Qianzhou's face changed.
"Catch him!"
