Yu Jin had seen Prince Xiang approaching from the corner of his eye, but he ignored him.

Although he had already expected and anticipated that this idiot would do something weird, he couldn't let the other party see it.

I've seen it, but I'm so scared that I can't come out. What should I do?

"Prince, I offer you a toast." It was Prince Kang who spoke.

The two chatted for a few words when entering the palace. Yu Jin didn't mind giving him some face and raised his glass to drink it all.

Prince Kang Xiao smiled and said, "You are such a straightforward person. I hope you will come and enjoy my drinks with me in the future."

Prince Xiang, who was walking over, felt very unhappy when he heard these words.

Even though Prince Kang's father was only a prince, he still had considerable respect in the royal family. Prince Kang had never been so flattering to him in the past.

The dissatisfaction grew deeper and deeper, dispelling the last bit of doubt of the King of Xiang.

He strode over and called out, "Seventh Brother."

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

The King of Xiang raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Since we parted that day, I haven't had much chance to talk to you. Today I offer a toast to you, Seventh Brother."

Yu Jin looked over with a somewhat nonchalant smile.

"Will Seventh Brother not be disrespectful?" Prince Xiang suddenly became nervous.

This bastard Lao Qi doesn't like to play by the rules. If I don't drink this glass of wine with him, all my plans will be in vain.

Just when the King of Xiang was nervous, Yu Jin chuckled and said, "How could that be? My eighth brother is willing to drink with me. I couldn't ask for more."

Prince Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the palace maid standing beside him.

A palace maid came forward immediately, carrying a tray.

The King of Xiang picked up the white jade wine jug on the tray and said with a smile, "I'll fill it up for Seventh Brother."

Yu Jin had been drinking with Prince Kang before, and his glass was already empty, so Prince Xiang's action would not attract any attention at all.

While pouring the wine, the King of Xiang used his sleeve to cover the wine and sprinkled the powder into the wine with his fingertips. While doing all this, his heart was pounding like thunder, as if it would jump out of his throat at any moment.

"Seventh brother, please--" After doing all this, King Xiang handed the wine glass to Yu Jin, trying his best not to show any abnormality.

Yu Jin lowered his eyes and stared at the glass of wine.

The jade cup was filled with amber wine, which was a royal wine that was not available on the market.

He stared for quite a while, which made the King of Xiang feel relieved again.

Lao Qi is very cunning, could he have noticed something unusual?

Prince Xiang couldn't help but follow Yu Jin's gaze and look at the glass of wine with added ingredients.

The wine was still amber in color and looked no different from the wine in his glass.

No, Lao Qi won’t find anything unusual.

Prince Xiang secretly comforted himself, but his back was still soaked with cold sweat.

At this moment he realized that it was impossible not to be nervous when doing many things personally.

Seeing that he had been frightened enough, Yu Jin finally reached out and picked up the glass of wine and raised it to the King of Xiang.

The King of Xiang felt relieved and immediately clinked glasses with Yu Jin.

Yu Jin raised the cup to his lips with one hand, lifted up his fist with the other, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The King of Xiang stared at the lips that were red and moist from the wine, and his heart finally settled down.

Just drink it. As long as the medicine is as effective as Fourth Brother said, Seventh Brother is bound to make a fool of himself today.

The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and Prince Xiang showed a genuine smile and prepared to return to his seat.

Yu Jin glanced at him with a half-smile: "Eighth brother, don't rush."

The King of Xiang did not show it on his face, but he was alert in his heart.

Yu Jin picked up the wine pot that the Prince of Xiang had just put back on the tray of the palace maid and directly filled the empty glass of the Prince of Xiang.

This action was quick and decisive. By the time the King of Xiang reacted, the cup was already full.

Yu Jin filled his own glass again, raised it and said with a smile: "Brother, let me toast to you, Eighth Brother, too."

The King of Xiang held the white jade wine glass in his hand, feeling a little flustered for a moment.

Yu Jin's face darkened slightly, and he said unhappily, "Why, Eighth Brother, you don't want to drink?"

The King of Xiang was startled and said with a smile: "How could it be possible?"

He came over to toast Lao Qi in full view of everyone. Lao Qi toasted him back and said that if he refused, Lao Qi might make a fool of himself later and someone might suspect him.

Thinking of this, the King of Xiang dared not delay any longer and quickly raised his cup and drank it all.

"Eighth brother is such a straightforward person." Yu Jin chuckled and drank the wine in the glass.

The Prince of Xiang was able to escape and secretly exchanged glances with the Prince of Qi.

King Qi came over and toasted as well.

Seeing that Yu Jin accepted all offers and drank several glasses of wine in a short period of time, King Xiang finally put his heart back in his stomach. He secretly wiped the sticky sweat from his palms, and in order not to appear special, he quickly started drinking with others.

While drinking, he did not forget to secretly observe Yu Jian.

Fourth brother said that the medicine would take effect a quarter of an hour after drinking it, but why hasn’t Seventh brother reacted yet?

The time was almost up, and Yu Jin was still chatting and laughing with others. The King of Xiang became uneasy, and finally couldn't help but approach the King of Qi and asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, why haven't you moved yet?"

King Qi was also somewhat uneasy, and frowned, saying: "Maybe it has something to do with a person's physique..."

The seventh brother is a martial artist, so he is presumably in good health, so the medicine will take a longer time to take effect.

The King of Xiang felt relieved when he heard this and kept an eye on what was happening over there.

After a while, the King of Xiang's expression suddenly changed. His originally clear eyes seemed to have lost their focus and looked dazed and dull.

"Eighth brother, what's wrong with you?" King Qi noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly.

The King of Xiang suddenly stood up.

The King of Qi's heart sank, and he quickly grabbed the King of Xiang's sleeve and whispered, "Eighth brother, what are you going to do?"

At this time, the hall was bustling with activity, with clinking of glasses and the sound of string music. For a moment, no one paid attention to what was going on here. Even if someone looked over here, they would have thought that the Prince of Xiang was going to propose a toast.

On the high platform, Emperor Jingming said to the empress dowager considerately: "If you are tired, your son will take you to rest."

The Queen Mother is already in her seventies and may not be able to sit for long periods of time.

In the past, the Queen Mother would have left early on such occasions, but now she shook her head and said, "Year after year, I don't know how many times I can see such a lively occasion. I am very happy to see it."

"As long as you are happy, when the weather gets warmer, let the Queen hold a few flower viewing banquets. It will be even more lively than now. Your mother wants to see all kinds of excitement, so please don't say these things."

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, her eyes flickering over Yu Jin with a look of inquiry in them.

Was the string of agarwood Buddhist beads presented by King Yan a coincidence or intentional?

At this moment, Prince Xiang stood up, suddenly reached out and tore off his outer shirt, then ran towards the platform with red eyes.

He continued to pull down his clothes as he ran, and in the blink of an eye he was left with only a snow-white undershirt.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the people in the hall forgot to scream or to stop it. They just stared at the Prince of Xiang running towards the platform with a dazed look on their faces.

Even the guards standing by in charge of protecting the emperor were startled for a moment. Their brains were working rapidly, and they were struggling to think of a question: Is the Prince of Xiang going to commit rebellion? But it seems that he is going to run naked, so where is the weapon hidden?

No matter what, even if there is no weapon, Prince Xiang cannot be allowed to rush to the emperor.

The servants and guards who had figured it out attacked together and held down the Prince of Xiang who was almost undressed.
