If it wasn't for the fact that they were at the Lian Clan, Xiao Zhenhai would have killed that idiot Xiao Xian Min with a single slash.
”Big brother, this is all my fault, it's all my fault. I've implicated you, little sister …” Your little sister deserves to die a thousand deaths. ” Xiao Xianmin covered her swollen face and carefully apologized.
”Things have already come to this point. Only by using an even bigger matter to cover up this matter will the Emperor not think too much about it.” Xiao Zhenhai's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together as he spoke. He couldn't let the Emperor be more wary of him. The so-called accompanying a tiger was something that once buried in the Emperor's heart, it would never be dispelled.
When the Xiao family heard this, they let go of the hands that covered their cheeks and asked, ”Does big brother have any methods?”
”A few days ago, the Emperor inadvertently mentioned this to a few cabinet ministers. Before the flood in Jiangnan, he dreamed that there was a crow hovering above the palace, and after four days and four nights of dreaming, the crow's cry was sharp and ear-piercing. At that time, he already had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, but within a few days, a flood appeared and refugees flooded into the north.
The Xiao family's old patriarch's heart trembled as he said in an excited voice, ”Big brother means …”
”The moon can no longer stay …” Xiao Zhen Hai said with an ice-cold voice.
Because of the sudden arrival of the emperor, a few more dishes were added to the banquet. Princess Thirteen, Feng Yao, sat beside her father, talking about something that caused the emperor to smile brightly.
Imperial Concubine Su sat at the side watching, feeling extremely gratified in her heart. Although she was unable to keep the little prince, at least he had gained a blessing from her misfortune.
Even his mother and the others were carefully eating and drinking, occasionally exchanging a few words with Imperial Concubine Su.
He really did not expect that Imperial Concubine Su would return to peace, and even attract the emperor's attention. This could be considered a great honor.
Lian Yanqing had always felt that the Emperor's sudden visit was not because he missed Princess Thirteen too much. Although he doted on Princess Thirteen, it was still far from her level. After all, he was the ruler of a country.
His gaze fell on Xiao Zhenhai, who had just returned from the restroom. He could faintly sense a trace of conspiracy from this old monster's body.
Only, under the emperor's watchful eye, during the period when Imperial Concubine Su was at peace, what could he do?
Xiao Zhenhai raised his eyes and saw that Lian Yan Qing was looking at him. He openly raised the wine cup in front of him and toasted him. Lian Yan Qing slowly raised his wine cup.
Lian Ruyue's right eyelid suddenly jumped a few times; her hand trembled as the chopsticks fell from her hand; her heart suddenly began to panic —
”Eldest Miss, what's wrong?” Qing Dai, who was serving him at the side, bowed and asked in a low voice.
”Don't worry, no worries.” Lian Ruyue picked up the chopsticks again, thinking, an inexplicable panic, something must have happened, what could it be?
She slowly looked at Xiao Zhenhai — he definitely wouldn't be willing to accept being tricked by her. He would definitely think of a way to eliminate the bad impression he had of the emperor in front of him.
What did he want?
”Ah!” Ah! ”Yah!” At this moment, from who knows where, a few shrill crows' cries suddenly sounded out.
The expression of Zhou Cheng Di, who was talking to Princess Thirteen, suddenly changed. The wine cup in his hand fell on the table with a 'pa' sound, and the wine spilled out.
”Your Majesty …” Imperial Concubine Su quickly said in a low voice and immediately ordered Senior Servant Wan to clean the wine stains on her body.
