Chapter 388 Closing the Net

The second prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the crown prince: "Crown brother, I am just too happy today. Can't I drink a few more cups?"

After saying that, he stood facing the crown prince with his hands on his waist. That look showed that he had no respect for the crown prince at all.

"Today is a palace banquet, not a family banquet. Moreover, there are foreign envoys present. You are so presumptuous. Where is the face of my father and mother?!" The crown prince pointed at the second prince and threatened.

[Wow! Big brother's acting skills are also very good! It's a pity that you don't become actors. ] Xia Miaoyuan tried hard to hold back her laughter and quickly took a large piece of peach blossom cake to cover her mouth.

At this time, Han Lie, who was sitting opposite the second prince, calmly made a gesture to Wu Ya, indicating that the time had come and she should act quickly.

Wu Ya nodded slightly, then she narrowed her eyes, put her two palms together, moved her lips, and began to chant a spell to drive the insects.

Then, she took out a very small needle from her sleeve, pinched it with two fingers, and aimed her eyes at the back of the second prince's neck.

At the same time, the envoys of Dai Viet sitting opposite were concentrating on the second prince, waiting for the insect poison in his body to take effect.

At this moment, the prince took a deep breath, flew up, and landed in front of Wu Ya.

Wu Ya's entire energy was on the second prince, and she was completely unprepared.

With lightning speed, the prince strangled Wu Ya's throat with one hand, and with the other hand, he firmly grasped Wu Ya's hand holding the needle.

"Bold witch! How dare you murder the prince!"

The prince's sudden action really frightened the guests present.

Everyone followed the prince's eyes and noticed that the second prince's maid was actually doing a weird action.

"What is that maid doing?"

"Just now I seemed to see her lips moving."

"Is she chanting a spell?"

"Who is she?"

"Does she have something in her hand?"

The Dai Viet envoy, who was just waiting to see the worm's outburst, was stunned and his face changed drastically when he saw this scene.

Wu Ya was so frightened that her face turned pale. She trembled and said in defense: "I didn't do that! I just wanted to dissuade the second prince!"

At this time, the Chiyu soldiers wearing armor and holding swords came forward and held Wu Ya firmly.

The prince took the thin needle from Wu Ya's fingers and shook it in front of her eyes, saying coldly: "No? Then what is this? Do you think I'm blind?"

Wu Ya pretended to be calm: "That...that...is just a needle for acupuncture...I wanted to help the second prince sober up."

Xia Miaoyuan looked down at Wu Ya with interest, "Oh my god, you are really good at making up stories! Do you believe such a lame statement? 】

At this time, the five, six, seven or eight princes sitting next to Xia Miaoyuan felt that their eyes and ears were not enough.

They knew nothing about what happened today. While listening to their sister's voice, they stared at Wu Ya intently, but they were still confused.

What is going on today? I really don't understand!

Wu Ya had her hands handcuffed by two Chiyu soldiers. She couldn't move at all and was in a very desperate situation.

She turned her head hard to look at the second prince, trying to put on a coquettish expression, "Second Prince, save me? Xiaoya was wronged!"

"Hurry up and save Xiaoya. Xiaoya only has Your Highness in her heart. How could she hurt you? This is a misunderstanding!"

As she spoke, Wu Ya deliberately stared into the eyes of the second prince.

[Oh my god, you damn spy, you are about to die, but you still want to confuse my second brother!]

[Do you think that my second brother still has your parasites, and he will desperately protect you if you just hook your finger at him?]

The second prince suddenly stood up straight, as if he was a different person, and the drunkenness and insolence just now were completely gone.

Even his eyes were clear and shining, without any drunkenness.

He looked at Wu Ya steadily, and when Wu Ya met his eyes, her heart suddenly turned cold.

"Second Prince, save me..." Wu Ya's voice for help instantly became low.

She understood that the second prince was no longer under her control, and his indulgence and rudeness just now were all pretended.

The second prince smiled at Wuya contemptuously: "Wuya, do you think the young prince is really that stupid?"

Wuya seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant, and her whole body went limp. She did not fall to the ground because of the Chiyu soldiers on both sides.

At this time, everyone in the hall was stunned.

They seemed to understand something, but they were full of confusion.

"What's going on?" Emperor Mingxi asked at the right time.

Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the gloomy Emperor Mingxi, covered her mouth and laughed, [Dad, you are also good at acting, it seems that you don't know anything. ] When

Emperor Mingxi heard his daughter's complaints, he cleared his throat without moving his eyes and immediately covered it up.

"Report to the emperor. Some time ago, this woman pretended to be an orphan and deceived my sympathy, so I kept her as a maid." The second prince answered loudly.

"But later, I found out that she was a spy, and she poisoned me in an attempt to control me."

Emperor Mingxi stood up, pointed at Wu Ya and shouted angrily: "Bold witch! How dare you poison the prince? Put her in prison and interrogate her strictly!"

After hearing this, the Akabane Army responded and immediately carried Wu Ya out of the hall.

Han Lie and his group were already scared to death, but they were at the palace banquet after all, so they couldn't show it.

Several people suppressed their nervousness and pretended to be calm.

Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the Dai Viet envoy as if he was watching a show, and keenly noticed that Bai Zhou's hands were shaking slightly.

[Hahaha! Those idiots from Dai Viet, today's show is exciting! 】

【You are so evil-minded, yet you still want to watch our show? I want to watch your show! 】

At this time, there was a whisper in the hall, and all the officials could not suppress their shock and were discussing in twos and threes.

Emperor Mingxi cleared his throat and said loudly: "I'm really sorry for what happened just now, the envoys from Dai Viet. It was supposed to be a joyful palace banquet, but an unexpected situation frightened you."

"Come, I'll toast you a glass, just as a way of giving you a scare."

Han Lie had an ugly face, and he forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't say that."

The prince and Bai Zhou also followed suit.

The palace banquet continued.

But since Wu Ya was taken away, the atmosphere of the palace banquet was not very good.

The princes and ministers were all focused on the Wu Ya incident, and the envoys from Dai Viet were also uninterested and very nervous.

After waiting for the banquet to end, Emperor Mingxi said a few more words to keep the situation in mind, then took the Empress's hand and went back to the bedroom.

The guests also quickly left.

...

In the prison.

Wu Ya was locked up in the most secure cell, with her hands and feet chained.

Although she was arrested less than an hour after the banquet, her face was already full of fatigue.
