The atmosphere at the banquet was inexplicably strange.
It seems that the unparalleled beauty of Prince Xiqi really seduced Her Majesty the Empress, after all, Her Majesty has already taken advantage of him.
But His Majesty just touched him, then pushed him aside and the banquet continued.
Now, Prince Xiqi and the envoy sat there obediently, without mentioning anything about marriage, and His Majesty kept them there without even looking at them again.
There is definitely something fishy going on here, but no one can guess what it is at the moment.
It's so painful to see a huge secret right in front of you but not be able to solve it.
Suddenly I felt that the food no longer tasted good.
A group of people around were worried and anxious, but only Her Majesty the Empress remained as still as a mountain.
Finally, the banquet was almost over and the empress stood up and left.
"Your Majesty, wait for me."
Nezha Timo immediately stood up and chased after him, shouting loudly, as if afraid that others would not know.
Her Majesty the Empress did not turn her head, but did not let anyone stop her.
Her Majesty the Empress did not stop...
The Prime Minister just stood up a little but sat down again. Lou Yan and Rong Qing stood up and followed him without hesitation. No one dared to breathe.
Tonight, it feels like blood is going to spill out in the palace.
After the experience of the collective death of the melon eaters last time, no one dared to stay here this time and hurried home with their own gifts.
Anyway, you will definitely know it in the future. You can't sacrifice your dignity because of momentary curiosity.
Xiao Li stopped, looked back at the man who had been staring at her, and frowned.
"What do you want to do with that face?"
Zhatimo leaned forward slightly, smiling seductively: "Your Majesty, don't you like my face?"
Xiao Li also smiled, but that smile was strange and cold: "Yes, it is very beautiful, so beautiful that I want to peel it off and make a fan, just to admire it every day."
Instead of being angry, Zhatimo laughed: "Your Majesty is so vicious, I am extremely happy."
Xiao Li raised his hand: "If you don't speak human language, I will peel off your skin and you won't have to speak anymore."
Zhatimo stepped in front of Xiao Li, showing off his beauty in all its glory. "Then your majesty, tell me first, how did you recognize me?"
He believed that this face did not resemble his own at all, and he even controlled his voice and expression deliberately. Why could Xiao Li recognize it at a glance?
Xiao Li raised his eyes: "You can change your appearance, but you can't change your aura and eyes."
Lu Ling had shown that kind of determined and obsessed look countless times.
Lu Ling was not panicked when he was recognized. He took a step forward and tried to confuse Xiao Li with this face.
"Your Majesty doesn't like my previous face, so I'll change it to a completely different, better-looking one. Isn't that good?"
"I am now the Prince of Xiqi. As long as Your Majesty marries me, Xiqi will naturally submit, and Your Majesty won't have to waste a single soldier. Isn't that great?"
He held Xiao Li's hand, his eyes full of affection: "Your Majesty, can't you really see my affection?"
He put Xiao Li's hand on his neck, his eyes full of desire.
Xiao Li squeezed it tightly, and he frowned in pain instantly, but his eyes were full of joy.
"Your Majesty, you are reluctant to kill me. I am so beautiful and I love you so much. No one loves you more than I do."
He spoke of his love in a bold manner, and as Xiao Li's hands tightened, the madness in his eyes grew more intense.
Xiao Li suddenly pushed him away: "Catch him!"
The silver-armored guard stepped forward immediately, and he instantly lost his previous alertness.
"If your majesty wants to take action, I will naturally surrender, but the same cannot be said for others."
Lou Yan and Rong Qing stepped forward, weapons drawn, murderous intent surging. Lu Ling was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, I have several infectious diseases that can spread. You don't want the capital to be overrun by plague, do you?"
Xiao Li frowned: "Why are you here?"
Lu Ling raised his head: "I came for His Majesty, and I want to marry His Majesty."
Xiao Li: "I never accept threats from anyone."
Lu Ling suddenly smiled: "Then what if I ask His Majesty?"
Xiao Li: "You don't have that much nerve."
Lu Ling looked at Rong Qing on the side and said, "Your Majesty still owes me one."
Xiao Li raised his hand, and all the silver-armored guards retreated, with Lou Yan and Rong Qing protecting them on the left and right.
Her cold eyes fell on Lu Ling with a heavy intimidation: "I haven't forgotten, but I am not threatened."
Lu Ling looked at her and Xiao Li looked at him. Without too many words, they could understand each other.
Lu Ling really...really...can't help but like the empress.
No one has ever understood his thoughts just by looking at him.
He performed a Xiqi salute and said, "It is already late at night, so I will not disturb Your Majesty's rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."
Lu Ling retreated all the way out without any obstruction.
Lou Yan sheathed his sword: "Your Majesty is afraid of him?"
Lou Yan is not just jealous, he can also understand things.
Xiao Li: "Can't kill him."
Lu Ling wanted to die and wanted to die at her hands, but he was poisoned. If Xiao Li killed him, she would have to die with him.
If it wasn't Xiao Li who killed him, he would have let more people be buried with him.
A pure madman.
But every time Lu Ling appears in the capital, it is not a simple event. This year...I am afraid it will be a very lively one.

Jiang Zhou was not from the Ministry of Rites, but he was assigned to manage all matters concerning the Xiqi envoys.
Before he could take over the process, he was told that he only needed to manage Prince Xiqi, and then he was sent directly to Prince Xiqi's room.
Jiang Zhou: “…”
No, this is a bit wrong!!
It was normal for him to receive envoys and meet with Prince Xiqi, so why did he go to Prince Xiqi's room and have everyone leave?
