The banquet in the front yard hadn't ended yet, and when His Highness the Crown Prince, who had disappeared for a while, came back with a chubby boy, everyone was surprised to find that His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude seemed to have changed significantly compared to just now.
Before that, he had always looked indifferent, as if sitting on a cloud, his whole body exuded an alienated aura that made people dare not approach easily;
But after only a moment, it was clear that the same indifferent face was still there, but the curvature of the corners of the lips softened a little, which made people feel close to him involuntarily from the bottom of their hearts.
This wonderful feeling almost made them think it was an illusion.
However, it turns out that this is not an illusion.
—The attitude of His Royal Highness is not only much more cordial, but also specially pulled out the sixth prince who has been with him all the time and introduced it to everyone.
This was the first time that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince who lived in the deep palace appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out that the reason why His Royal Highness changed his indifferent attitude and opened his mouth was to introduce the sixth prince. It's really brotherly respect, brotherly love, brotherly brother... Cough, something strange has mixed in.
After understanding what the prince meant, everyone in the room was naturally very supportive, using their skillful rainbow fart skills to blow up this chubby little cutie who is unique in the sky and the only cutie in the world. Even his fleshy double chin reveals the extraordinaryness of Tianjia, and his round eyes reveal wisdom.
Qi Yu held his head high and nodded his head very well. The double critical blow he suffered at Su Xu'er and his royal brother just now quickly healed, and he was active in the crowd. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
And Yuan Buwei just sat aside, didn't speak, just drank the wine in the glass calmly, looking at Qi Yu's direction from time to time.
In the eyes of many people, he is a good brother with a cold face and a warm heart who cares about his younger brother.
Of course, Qi Yu also noticed his gaze, and couldn't help but smile brightly at the imperial brother, showing his snow-white teeth. Even the previous grievances and depressions were all forgotten.
... Brother Huang is ruthless, fierce and cold, but he still values his younger brother very much in his heart :). Really want to pull that wild girl over to take a look, and want to rob him of the emperor's brother? Hmph, overestimate one's abilities!
With the pride of being the winner of the competition for favor, Qi Yu's baby-fat face swelled up with laughter.
Facing such a naive (stupid) true (stupid) protagonist, the system 999 couldn't bear it:
[Host, are you really okay? Seeing how much the protagonist relies on you, trusts you, and likes you, how dare you treat him as a humanoid camp detector and use him to identify characters from the protagonist's camp? Where is your conscience?]
"Isn't it natural for the villain to use the protagonist?" Yuan Bu asked back in surprise, with a righteous tone, "The villain has no conscience."
If the villains all have conscience, morality, gentleness, kindness, and understanding, wouldn't they steal the protagonist's route? Are the protagonists unemployed
He must never do such a thing of stealing people's jobs.
Therefore, let Qi Yu continue to maintain his kindness and innocence. As for the pain of conscience that shouldn't be borne, let him bear it :).
Speaking of this, Yuan Buwei was moved by himself.
System 999: [? ? ?]
Whenever I type a string of question marks, it's not me who has a problem, but you who have a problem.
Whenever I think the host is already a dog, I always find that the host can be a little bit more dog.
[This system is a villain whitewashing system, not a villain playing system...] System 999 is weak.
"Yeah, if you don't become a villain first, how can you clear your name?"
System 999 was speechless. It chooses to actively shield the host, and retreats into the small black room by itself.
Qi Yu still didn't know that the team members who were supposed to support him in the original plot had already been recorded in the small book by his respected and beloved emperor brother.
——The emotional changes of this chubby guy are so easy to understand, even if you don't need to ask him, you can tell which people he naturally has a deeper affection for.
What's more, Yuan Weiwei didn't really rely on Qi Yu to distinguish between the enemy and our camps. The faction identification of this chubby couple is just an extra layer of screening.
When he was basking in the sun some time ago, those hidden guards were not idle, they all investigated the important courtiers and nobles one by one according to Yuan Buwei's instructions, and now the information obtained from the investigation is still in Yuan Buwei's study .
Due to the short period of time, no overly confidential information has been investigated yet, but they have listed their past actions in exhaustive detail.
Many people may not be able to see any tendency on the surface, but combined with their past words, deeds, and actions, they have always been good at guessing people's reasons and actions, and they can always find out the true intentions of these people from clues.
Whether he is an upright minister who is dedicated to the public, or a greedy person who forms a clique, or is foolishly loyal to the emperor, he has long been developed by the emperor into a complete confidant...
This is the first screening.
There is also a part of the list given by Qin Mo after he surrendered.
Combined with today's third screening...
Yuan Buwei leaned on the seat carelessly, raised a delicate white jade wine glass obliquely, raised his head slightly, and the clear and translucent wine immediately turned into a long water line and fell accurately into his lips.
He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, not really just to attend a wedding banquet.
It's just that the prime minister's banquet invited almost all the princes and nobles with status in Beijing to the banquet, which happened to suit his wishes.
In order not to swallow the wine, his Adam's apple rolled a bit, the lips wetted by the wine became a little more bloody, and the corners of the lips curled up into a very touching arc.
"Almost... it's time to close the net."
·
As the dusk deepened, the sound of silk strings resounding through the mansion gradually stopped, the hustle and bustle subsided, and many guests left the table one after another.
As for His Royal Highness, who drank the wine all night, his pale face was also stained with a layer of drunken red, like the haze of white jade. gas.
He seemed to be overwhelmed with alcohol, stood up with his hands on his forehead, greeted Xiaopangji, and left first.
Others also walked out drunkenly, and there were guests who were too drunk to hook their shoulders, and from time to time, a few secrets about the noble family that were kept tightly covered on weekdays came out of their mouths.
However, as soon as he left the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of wolves and tigers rushed up, as if they had been prepared for a long time, they accurately found the target among the crowd, and detained some of the guests on the spot.
As soon as the cold wind blew, most of the drunken people suddenly became sober, and they all struggled and shouted.
"What is this for? Who are you soldiers who dare to mess around at the gate of the prime minister's mansion?"
"Do you know the identity of this king..."
"In the dignified place of Jingzi, there are people who are so rampant and lawless, really lawless!"
For a while, princes, nobles, civil servants and generals were all caught on the spot, and the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely lively.
Those who were ignored by the sergeants were also in shock, confused and puzzled, and looked at this scene in amazement.
And when they calmed down, they noticed that at some point, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who thought he had already left, appeared in front of them, standing in the middle of the avenue.
He was dressed in a black robe, his black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and he stood quietly in the twilight, surrounded by silent soldiers like stars surrounding the moon.
"His Royal Highness, what's going on here?"
Even the prince can't arrest people for no reason like this. Everyone looked puzzled and angry.
It wasn't because of a slight smile.
He skillfully took out a volume of imperial decree from his sleeve again, and handed it to Qi Yu who was also stunned by this scene, and couldn't recover, and said concisely: "Read."
"... Oh." Qi Yu was awakened by him.
The same thing happened once before, but this time Qi Yu was calm. He took the imperial decree skillfully, cleared his throat, and read it seriously.
The content of this imperial decree is not difficult to understand. At the beginning, he explained the poisoning of the crown prince, and everyone was shocked and silent on the spot.
"... murdering the crown prince is an unforgivable crime... the matter is so important that the crown prince can make a decision on the fly... anyone involved in this case, no matter who they are, can be arrested on the spot and wait to be dealt with."
The crisp and lively child's voice finished reading an edict, and everyone's expressions changed again and again. In the end, they all showed helpless wry smiles.
They were also very shocked by the poisoning of the prince, but they were naturally extremely unwilling to be arrested because of this, and they all shouted for injustice.
However, this imperial decree gave the prince great power. As long as he suspects that someone has a problem, he can take him away for investigation. But they couldn't resist.
If these people are truly innocent, they don't have to worry. With their status and status, the jailers couldn't beat them to death.
However, these people had ghosts in their hearts - they were either the emperor's confidantes, or they had common interests with the emperor. They had long been aware of the emperor's attitude towards the prince, and they even contributed to it by doing a lot of small tricks. If the prince finds out... the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty really made a foolish move!"
Despite the anxiety in their hearts, no one dared to disobey the imperial decree, so they could only obediently let the soldiers take them away, sighing helplessly in their hearts, hoping that the emperor would realize the problem as soon as possible and release them.
And what about Qi Yu
Before he could react from the shock and anger that his brother was poisoned by someone, and saw a long line of people being handcuffed away, this little chubby has almost fallen into a life of deep doubt.
These people are people he instinctively feels close to, and they all treated him very well during the banquet just now, and they all blow rainbow farts from the bottom of their hearts. This group of good people in his eyes is actually very likely to be the murderer who murdered the emperor's brother behind his back
Thinking about the mistaken thought that Su Xu'er had cast a demon on him before, big doubts appeared in Qi Yu's small eyes, and he fell into confusion and grief.
... Could it be that he really has a problem
When Yuan Buwei tidied up his head and tail and looked back at Qi Yu, he saw the chubby standing there, with unspeakable grief on his baby fat face.
It seems that he has been seriously ill and will die soon.
Seeing Yuan Wuwei, he raised his head: "Brother QAQ, I, I seem to be poisoned too, am I going to die?"
