All the ministers below stretched out their necks to watch, but couldn't see what was written on it after looking for a long time, so they had to quietly wait for Huo Qi to speak by himself.

Concubine Yan was concealed by him for a long time beforehand, Huo Qi kept saying that the Queen Mother must be happy and moved, so she didn't care about it, but after looking at it now, he doesn't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.

Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyelids, the cold temperature of Huo Qiu's palm still remained in the palm of his hand, he had no other intention to read Huo Qi's jokes, but his voice only pierced into her ears.

"Returning to my father, I know that my grandmother is dedicated to the Buddha, and I heard from the master of Tibetan dialect that engraving a book with blood is the most sincere, but my son is dull, so I present a volume of scriptures to congratulate my grandmother on her birthday."

The words were so loud that Emperor Qiong Yuan's eyes glided gloomyly, he smiled lowly twice, and asked Concubine Yan in an unclear manner: "Lao Liu has a good idea, what trick did you give him?"

Concubine Yan smiled modestly and respectfully, "How does my concubine know what he thinks? Lao Liu is used to making his own decisions."

Emperor Qiong Yuan nodded, his expression indisputable.

Tang Zhuozhuo didn't care to watch everyone's reaction, but saw Huo Qiu reaching out to refill the wine for himself a few times, and drinking it by himself, his face was still calm and expressionless.

She gritted her teeth bitterly, thinking that his temper would hurt to death.

After all, she still felt a little stuck in her heart, she just touched her hand when Huo Qiu pinched her wrist severely, Huo Qiu held the wine glass in one hand, frowned and looked over, cold snow fell in his eyes, rustling .

"What is the system?"

Tang Zhuozhuo was almost laughed angrily by him, he caught a glimpse of the black and purple color on his hands disappearing, so he forced out a smile, and stopped looking at him.

Huo Qiu's face trembled, and without changing his expression, he hid that hand in his sleeve robe, and followed her gaze to Huo Qi standing in the center of the hall.

It's really an eyesore.

The Marquis, the minister at the bottom, whispered to each other. Tang Zhuozhuo listened carefully, and he was saying that the sixth prince was unique, filial, and touching, and suddenly lost interest.

Those civil servants were talking nonsense, but those generals who were used to fighting on the battlefield all held their faces and said nothing.

Those who were a little bit more temperamental had a deep disdain on their faces.

They killed many enemies on the battlefield, and each of them crawled out of the dead. How could they not be able to distinguish the difference between human blood and animal blood

How dark is this sixth prince's heart? Isn't it afraid that such a thing will shorten the life of the empress dowager

The Empress Dowager looked at the presented bamboo slips with a complicated expression on her face, and said after a long time: "Lao Liu's thoughts are known to the Ai family, he is a good boy."

Huo Qi and Concubine Yan were overjoyed when they heard the words.

"I'll go to the Aijia Palace to get some nourishing things to nourish my body."

How much blood did it take to carve this scripture

Those who don't know are secretly speechless in their hearts.

Tang Zhuozhuo looked at Huo Qiu, he praised Huo Qi so high, is it time to fall down

Sure enough, there was a man on the other side of the general who was drunk, and stood up staggeringly with a face full of drunkenness, attracting everyone's attention.

A smile flashed across Tang Zhuo's burning apricot eyes, knowing that the fun was about to begin.

At the Empress Dowager's palace banquet, no matter how courageous the generals were, they would not dare to drink to their heart's content. What's more, although they looked not as smart as the civil servants, they were all bold, careful, and thoughtful.

To be able to get drunk like this, 10% is just pretending.

Sure enough, the general stood up and cupped his hands first, then pointed at Huo Qi with a smile on his face and said: "The sixth prince is really unkind!"

Liu's face turned pale with fright, but Huo Qi looked normal, frowned and said: "Did General Chang drink too much?"

Only then did Tang Zhuozhuo realize that he was from the Chang family!

That was Huo Qiu's hidden help. On the surface, he was a neutral faction. Several generations of loyal ministers and famous generals had already stood in Huo Qiu's camp.

The military commander's eyes were full of anger, his hand pointing at the bamboo slip was a little unsteady, his tiger eyes were full of power, his voice contained the unique vague tone of drunkenness, but it was enough for the people in the palace to understand.

"Sixth Prince, don't fool us rough men. The smell of human blood and animal blood will come out as soon as you smell it. If you are reluctant to let out so much blood, you can exchange it for a birthday gift. This animal blood smells bad, and you can't bear it." Aren't you afraid of dirtying the eyes of His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"

That General Chang was drunk and spoke the truth, but he managed to make the three people sitting at the top shamefaced.

The Queen Mother and Emperor Qiongyuan were angry, and Concubine Yan was anxious.

Emperor Qiong Yuan scanned the pile of bamboo slips on the desk, and frowned deeply, "Lao Liu, is what Chang Xuan said true?"

There was obvious displeasure in the words.

Huo Qi quickly burst into a smile, he bowed and said: "I tell my father, General Chang is probably drunk and out of his mind, and I will not dare to deceive my father and grandmother with this."

In order to carve these scrolls of bamboo slips, he did cut a few cuts on his hands, squeezed out some symbolic blood, supplemented with some other livestock blood and mild medicinal materials, and combined them flawlessly , it is absolutely impossible to be smelled like this.

Even if the imperial doctor came to test it, they couldn't find out why.

Thinking of this, Huo Qi straightened his back a little more, and his face became more and more gentle.

Emperor Qiongyuan glanced at the general for a few moments, then his gaze paused on Tang Xuanwu, who was smiling and silent, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Why is Tang Qing laughing?"

Tang Zhuozhuo looked at his father, and found that he drank the strong wine in one gulp, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he straightened his sleeves and stood up calmly, his slightly rough voice exploded like a muffled thunder.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty." He clasped his fists together, and continued: "This beast's blood has a strong smell, and the smell is a little bit smelly. The longer the time, the stronger the smell, but human blood is different. After a long time, the blood will dry up, and it will be a stream of blood. sweetness."

Tang Zhuozhuo turned his head silently, he had never heard of the sweet smell of blood.

Emperor Qiongyuan gave him a look, and the chief eunuch behind him went up to smell it, and then replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, the smell is stronger."

Huo Qi felt questioning eyes from all directions, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Father, there is absolutely no son or minister. If you don't believe it, you can send the imperial doctor to test it."

Everything is counted, why didn't the noses of these generals be counted

Huo Qi's face turned red, he hardly dared to look at Concubine Yan's questioning eyes.

Tang Zhuozhuo was worried about the Gu on Huo Qiu's body, and thought about going back to the East Palace to inquire carefully, but he didn't pay much attention to Huo Qi's affairs, but when Huo Qi wanted to announce the imperial physician, he heard the immobile man beside him snorted coldly .

What happened after that was like a drama, the imperial doctor quickly identified the animal blood, Huo Qi's face was ashen and yelled at being wronged, Tang Zhuozhuo was not in the mood to watch it again, until finally Huo Qi was ordered by the furious Emperor Qiong Yuan to ground his feet and meditate on himself After a while, the palace banquet slowly came to an end.

Such a moth appeared at the birthday banquet that had been carefully prepared for a long time. When Emperor Qiong Yuan left, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Huo Qi was grounded, and all the errands he had on hand fell into Huo Qiu's hands. Tang Zhuozhuo blinked, and finally heard Huo Qiu click his tongue in satisfaction.

Sure enough, things were going according to his calculations.

Tang Xuanwu walked a little slowly, Tang Zhuozhao and Huo Qiu saw such a shadow of Xiao Suo when they left the hall.

The tip of Tang Zhuozhuo's nose was sore, before he could speak, Huo Qiu turned his eyes and said: "The time for a stick of incense, make a long story short."

Only then did Tang Zhuozhao smile, and seeing Tang Xuanwu sneaking into a very dark small pavilion, she also carefully ducked in and hid in it.

"Daddy."

The night wind was a little cool, and Tang Xuanwu's black sleeve robe fluttered, and he turned sideways to let out a corner of the pavilion.

"Mother?" Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes were wide open, both surprised and happy, but Liang's tears fell down when he saw her, as if he couldn't wipe it off, and he didn't dare to cry for fear of attracting people to see her .

"Zhao Zhuo is suffering!" Liang Shi embraced Tang Zhuo Zhuo in his arms, his voice choked up, he stroked her delicate face, and asked repeatedly: "Is everything in the palace still getting used to? Is Your Highness treating you okay?"

Tang Zhuozhao only had time to nod his head before being interrupted by Tang Xuanwu. He said in a rough voice, "Why are you crying? Since your Highness made a promise in front of you and me, can it be voided?"

Tang Zhuozhao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he wanted to ask him what promise Huo Qiu had made, when Tang Xuanwu frowned and said, "The letter you sent home last time was true?"

It just so happened that a gust of cool wind blew by, and it seemed that it could go straight to the bones when it blew on a person. Tang Zhuozhao flinched slightly, then nodded firmly and said: "Father, the Wang family can't be trusted, you don't have to take care of them in the future."

That group of big-hearted blood-sucking insects are never satisfied. They suck your blood and still think about how to step on you to the top. Whoever helps others will be unlucky.

Tang Xuanwu's deep brows were frowned, he cast a vague look outside the pavilion, and then said: "Before, I felt guilty towards the Wang family. I made a lot of effort out of it, but I didn't expect it to be a dog that can take advantage of people."

Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyes, nodded silently, and asked after a while, "Are you all okay, brothers?"

Mrs. Liang held her little daughter's hand and refused to let it go, crying over and over again while saying: "They are all good, but they always miss you, this palace is no better than at home, daughter-in-law should restrain her temper, be good with His Highness, be careful Some of the concubines and housemates below."

Tang Zhuozhuo was so bored by these words in her previous life that she wanted to escape immediately, but now she heard tears in her eyes. She held Liang's hand and said in a low voice: "I understand, father and mother will also be well."

Tang Xuanwu raised his beard, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Okay, it's time for your mother and I to leave the palace."

After leaving the palace late and being seen by others, it will not have a good impact.

"Zhao'er." Tang Xuanwu walked a few steps before turning back, the cold moonlight cast layers of veils, Tang Zhuozhuo raised his eyes, and felt that the distance from his parents seemed to be separated by a galaxy.

"Whoever treats you with sincerity, you should treat others with sincerity, do you understand?"

Tang Zhuozhuo smiled slowly, resting his green fingers on the armrest of the pavilion, shining brightly under the moonlight.
