Xiao Mubai took Xiao Muhong to sit at Taifu Wu's table. Taifu Wu looked him up and down, frowned, stroking his beard and said to him: "His Royal Highness, King Mo, today is indeed a bit inappropriate."
Xiao Mubai smiled and said nothing, but Xiao Muhong muttered nonchalantly: "Why don't you wear white? It's something everyone would say."
"Hey, what the Ninth Princess said is wrong. Today..." When Prime Minister Ju, who was sitting next to Xiao Muhong, heard this, he inevitably wanted to remind her. Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mubai asked him: " Didn't seventh brother come to watch the ceremony today?"
Prime Minister Ju pursed his lips and sighed: "For some reason, His Highness, the Seventh Highness, suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford to fall ill. Everyone from the hospital went to see him, and they said there was nothing wrong with him, but he was so lost that he couldn't eat. , I don’t know why.”
Xiao Muhong was quite familiar with Xiao Zimu because of Xia Chu. After hearing what Prime Minister Ju said, she asked with concern on her face: "Seventh brother is sick?"
Xiao Mubai lowered his eyelids: "It seems that he is seriously ill."
Xie Jiming's eyes suddenly lit up at the side: "I heard that the young Marquis is very skilled in medicine. He is already on good terms with His Highness the Seventh. When he returns to Beijing, why don't we let him go to the palace to have a look?"
Xiao Mubai glanced over with a cold look, and Jie Jiming felt an inexplicable chill all over his body.
He and Xiao Mubai looked at each other and saw the coldness in Xiao Mubai's eyes. After thinking about what he just said, there was nothing wrong with him.
Although Xia Chu was acquitted of the crime of burning corpses, his medical skills under the alias Yi Dao were indeed highly praised by the Zhao family's officers and men.
Xiao Muhong happened to be listening, and felt that Xie Jiming's words were reasonable, so she agreed: "Then when he returns to Beijing, I will go with him to see Seventh Brother."
Xiao Mubai and Ji Ming were two places apart, and he couldn't do anything to Ji Ming at the moment. Xiao Muhong bumped into her, so Xiao Mubai held her wrist and said with gritted teeth: "You are quite fond of him. .”
Xiao Muhong didn't notice anything strange about him and acted as if it were natural: "Of course, the three of us often go out together..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a tightness on her wrist, stood up and exclaimed: "Hey, brother, it hurts!"
Xiao Muhong's voice was very abrupt.
Xiao Yanjun and Aodenge Rile, who were worshiping each other as husband and wife, were so shocked that they froze up, and Wu Getai who was beside them also looked towards them.
When Xiao Muhong heard the music playing in her ears, she paused. Everyone looked at her, stuck out their red tongues, shrunk their necks, quickly covered their lips and sat down, not forgetting to gouge out Xiao Mubai's look. Smart and cute.
Accompanied by a sound: "The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber."
Amidst the congratulatory greetings, Concubine Li was thinking about what the emperor had just said about making the decision for her, and then continued to complain: "Your Majesty, look at the two brothers and sisters, they are deliberately trying to stir up trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, amid the roar of gongs and drums, an emergency message suddenly came from outside the hospital.
Shi Fuqiu saw Li Fei's expression gradually becoming colder. As the head of both men and women today, he naturally had to stand up and speak. He glanced at the clothes of the visitor and scolded Kong Changhui: "Is Dali Temple so busy?" Do you dare to come here to make an emergency report on this day?"
There were echoes everywhere, and all the civil and military officials came in full force today, and they all talked about it: "What urgent news can be expected from Dali Temple?"
Taifu Wu's table also looked at Kong Changhui with a little worry. If this was not a big deal, I am afraid that Concubine Li would not let him off lightly.
After hearing Shi Fuqiu's words, Kong Changhui turned around and stood up in a hurry in the eyes of everyone.
When he saw the person coming, his expression suddenly turned frightened, and he walked towards the kneeling man and asked, "Guan Xi, why are you here?"
The person who came to report urgently was Kong Changhui's personal attendant, who had escorted Xia Chu all the way to exile. He looked sad and blamed himself: "The young Marquis was assassinated a few days ago and fell off a cliff. The cliff is bottomless, I'm afraid... "
Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning was already known to everyone.
The civil and military officials were in an uproar and looked at the emperor cautiously. When Xia Chu was exiled, the marquis was critically ill.
Now acquitted, he was assassinated on the way...
How can this emperor explain to the Marquis
After Shi Fuqiu heard the news, he naturally couldn't blame Kong Changhui anymore. He pursed his lips and said to the emperor: "Why don't you block the news first so that the Marquis doesn't know about it?"
Kong Changhui retorted in a bad tone: "In addition to Dali Temple to welcome the young Marquis back to Beijing, the Marquis Mansion must also have sent people to welcome him. You still want to hide it? Now, I am afraid that the Marquis Mansion already knows."
Xiao Yanjun, who had just finished worshiping, had a happy expression on his face, frowning and looking at Concubine Li's back. She always did things neatly, how could someone slip through the net and rush back to Beijing at this time, and then be exposed at this time? News of Xia Chu's death.
Li Fei also gritted her teeth. She didn't know what those people did so badly. She would definitely skin them when she turned around.
But now, she had to pretend to look at the emperor with a worried look.
The emperor's face was terrifyingly dark. He slapped the table and said angrily to Kong Changhui: "Check, check for me! If you dare to assassinate the young marquis, I will cut him into pieces with a thousand knives."
Kong Changhui accepted the order and said "yes" and retreated hastily. Concubine Li beside the emperor and Xiao Yanjun behind him swallowed involuntarily.
"If Prince Yu hadn't forced the young Marquis into exile, how could such a thing have happened?"
Someone in the crowd said this. The officials who were talking in low voices were silent for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Yanjun, who was wearing a red wedding robe and a stiff face.
The officials who had just gathered together to praise His Royal Highness King Yu for his extraordinary beauty and celestial appearance, the look in their eyes at this moment was somewhat meaningful...
Concubine Li watched the emperor stand up, lift up his robe and leave the banquet. She reached out and grabbed his sleeves. With an aggrieved look on her face, she asked softly: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
The emperor snorted coldly, took out his sleeves from her hands, looked calm, and replied in a bad tone: "If something like this happens, I will naturally go to the Hou Mansion to visit. Is it possible that I will stay here to drink the wedding wine?"
Li Fei was startled by his scolding and sat down slumped.
Once the emperor said this, who would dare to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion to have a drink
Wu Taifu and others naturally followed the emperor out to the Hou Mansion. Even those in Xiao Yanjun's camp did not dare to stay and continue drinking at this moment. They all walked towards Concubine Li and Xiao Yan to finish their crimes and leave.
The Prince Yu's Mansion, which was originally bustling with lights and colorful decorations and filled with people, only had a few scattered people left in Sumeru. Except for Shi Fuqiu and Yu Bangzhen who stayed, even Min Zhisong pleaded guilty and left.
Xiao Muhong had already stood up. Seeing Xiao Mubai still sitting in his original position, she couldn't help but tug on his sleeves. She looked at the officials filing out and asked him, "Brother, aren't we leaving?"
