Chapter 103 Encounter with Du Heng

This was Qiao Niannian's first time attending a palace banquet, and Mrs. Huo specially assigned her nanny to accompany Qiao Niannian to prevent her from doing anything wrong.

On the way, Mrs. Huo kept comforting Qiao Niannian and told her not to be nervous.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate.

The next journey required everyone to walk to Yu Garden.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a banquet in Yu Garden. In addition to singing and dancing performances, there was also a troupe of actors entering the palace to sing. After dinner, they could also enjoy fireworks, which made Qiao Niannian look forward to it. Mrs.

Huo took Qiao Niannian for a distance and then separated from Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu was going to see the queen mother with Qiao Yueying, and then go to the banquet.

This is also a kind of grace.

Mrs. Huo and Qiao Niannian did not need to go there without being summoned.

Qiao Niannian thought this was a good idea. After all, she had to bow when meeting the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother didn't know that her savior was not Qiao Yueying, so she treated her mother badly.

If they really went to see the Queen Mother, they would only suffer losses.

The distance from the palace gate to Yu Garden is not short.

Mrs. Huo is used to walking, and Qiao Niannian is a cultivator, so this distance is nothing to her.

The two of them arrived at Yu Garden soon.

Several ladies who were familiar with Mrs. Huo came over. Mrs. Huo took Qiao Niannian around and introduced her to everyone. Qiao Niannian was really not good at dealing with these elders, so she found an excuse to leave the banquet.

She planned to go to Yu Garden for a stroll.

Anyway, there were palace maids and eunuchs waiting here, so nothing would go wrong. Mrs. Huo did not stop her, but told the nanny who followed Qiao Niannian to keep an eye on her.

Qiao Niannian did not care, and left the banquet and went straight to a quiet corner.

She liked quietness and was somewhat uncomfortable with the lively environment.

But she avoided quietness, but she did not expect that there were already people in this place.

Qiao Niannian was originally planning to leave, but when she left, she glanced at the other person's face and could not help but stop.

This person's forehead was dark and heavy, and it was obvious that he was doomed to die!

But the other person has a handsome appearance, clear eyes, and a gleam of fortune and wealth, especially wealth, which is particularly obvious. This person should often deal with money.

Qiao Niannian thought about it. The people attending the banquet this time are basically officials and powerful people. The only one who deals with money at the whole banquet should be the Du family of Jiangnan Weaving.

The Du family is an imperial merchant, and most of the brocade cloth used in the palace is contributed by Jiangnan Weaving.

So, this is the Du Heng who died early in the novel!

And the person who really saved the empress dowager was Du Heng's sister, Du Ruo.

But before they died, neither of them knew that the person Du Ruo saved was the current empress dowager.

But in the novel, Du Heng was more than a month away from death.

The reason is that the hero in the book, the third prince, knew that Du Ruo was the one who saved the queen mother, and he felt that the existence of the Du family was a threat to Qiao Yueying.

So he asked his men to find the ghost gate that helped people seek revenge in the martial arts world, and paid 200,000 taels of silver to wipe out the entire Du family.

In the novel, everything is done from Qiao Yueying's perspective.

So it mentioned the scene of Du Ruo saving the queen mother, and then the Du family was wiped out.

At first, Qiao Yueying was also worried that the queen mother would discover her lies. Later, after knowing that the Du family was wiped out, Qiao Yueying was relieved.

Later, Qiao Yueying was with the third prince, and the men around the third prince accidentally revealed the whole story of the incident. Qiao Yueying's first reaction was to be moved.

She actually didn't know that the arrogant Third Prince would quietly help her clean up the mess behind her back.

In addition to the Du family, there is the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Everything Qiao Yueying did was not without trace. The General's Mansion almost found out the truth, but unfortunately it was dealt with by the Third Prince.

However, this incident happened a month later. After all, according to the Kyoto in the novel, the Third Prince and Qiao Yueying have not met yet.

But Du Heng's death was clearly tonight.

Could it be that the chain reaction was caused because the plot changed too much!

Qiao Niannian pondered for a moment, and took the initiative to walk in front of Du Heng.

Du Heng was not resting here, he just happened to pass by here and saw the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in full bloom.

Sweet osmanthus can be seen everywhere on the streets in the south, and it is not that rare. However, it is different in the north. The winter in the north is cold, and sweet osmanthus cannot survive in the north.

There is a sweet osmanthus tree in his home, which was planted when his father married his mother. Now it is in full bloom. Because of this different feeling, he has also learned a lot of ways to grow sweet osmanthus.

When he passed by the sweet osmanthus in Yu Garden just now, he saw that the sweet osmanthus was blooming luxuriantly and the petals were bright. For a moment, he was curious about how this sweet osmanthus tree was raised. As soon as he saw it, he was late.

If Qiao Niannian had not come and disturbed him, he might have been silent.

If he missed the emperor's palace banquet, it would be even more troublesome.

Especially the little girl in front of him looked soft and tender, which made people feel warm at a glance.

Moreover, the little girl looked at him, and it was obvious that she had something to say, so he could not help but speak patiently.

"Little girl, what's the matter?"

Qiao Niannian was somewhat surprised at her ability to read people's expressions when she asked, but since she asked, she spoke directly.

"You are doomed!"

"Tonight."

"Based on your face, it may be related to the things you brought today."

Du Heng: ...

He has an active mind and is very good at speaking.

But he didn't know how to respond to Qiao Niannian's words!

He laughed dryly: "Who asked you to say these words?"

Although he was surprised that Qiao Niannian suddenly said this, he felt that a child didn't know anything, and it was probably taught by others!

Qiao Niannian shook her head: "It doesn't take much effort to take a closer look. If someone really tampered with it and angered the emperor, it would be a capital crime."

After saying that, Qiao Niannian turned and left.

Du Heng watched Qiao Niannian leave, and at this time two people walked out from the side.

They were Du Heng's guards. They had just followed Du Heng here, but they had been standing not far away and did not come forward.

However, the conversation between Qiao Niannian and Du Heng could not escape their ears.

Seeing Qiao Niannian leave, he immediately walked to Du Heng's side.

"Master, do you need someone to keep an eye on her?"

This little girl suddenly ran out, talking nonsense, maybe with some purpose.

Du Heng refused.

"No need, send someone to keep an eye on our stuff. By the way, let Ruoruo wait outside the palace with the stuff and wait for the call at any time."

The two men heard this and immediately flashed a flash of shock in their eyes: "Master, do you really believe what that little girl said? She is only ten years old."

Moreover, they are here to pay tribute, which is the case every year.

Now they are in the palace again. Could it be that someone has tampered with the palace?

If this is discovered, will they die?
