Chapter 420: Hongmen Banquet
"Since you have reminded me, I will naturally not tolerate traitors anymore, and I must thoroughly investigate this matter."
After saying that, he ordered the head of the guard to send additional personnel to patrol to prevent the thieves from sneaking in again.
After Jiang Shaolan left, Feng Chongwu's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Go and check who the princess has contacted recently!"
"Yes." The secret guards were hiding in the air and disappeared into the night.
Feng Chongwu sat on the chair with a serious expression and a dangerous luster flashed through his eyes.
It seems that someone has already set his sights on him.
"Come." He whispered, "Send someone to check immediately, how did the assassin from the palace come tonight."
"Yes." The guard agreed and left quickly.
Feng Chongwu stood up, paced in place with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing contemplation.
Who is so anxious to get rid of him?
If he dies, who will benefit him more?
The next day, the sun shone through the gauze curtain on the ground, leaving mottled shadows.
A knock on the door came: "Miss, have you gotten up?"
The owner of the sound was Mei'er. Sheng Zhiyao yawned lazily, stretched her waist long, and then slowly got up.
"I will serve you to wash up." Mei'er walked over with a copper basin. "What do you want to eat today? I will let the kitchen people do it."
Sheng Zhiyao shook her head: "I don't want to eat anything."
Mei'er was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Sheng Zhiyao touched her stomach and said sadly: "I'm too supportive."
Mei'er chuckled when she heard this: "Miss, you have been eating last night, so you will definitely be over!"
Sheng Zhiyao sighed, took Mei'er's hand, and begged softly: "I'm really uncomfortable. Can you accompany me to take a walk in the yard?"
Seeing Sheng Zhiyao's expression was painful, Mei'er had to agree.
The two left the house and walked slowly along the corridor.
Suddenly a figure broke into her sight, and she paused under her feet, and Yuan Che's face came into her eyes.
She asked in surprise, "Won Che? Why are you here?"
Yuan Che's eyes fell on her round cheeks and bright big eyes, and her heart moved slightly, but soon calmed down and returned to normal.
"Sister Zhiyao, it was Brother Yuanchen who took me over." He said lightly, "Brother Yuanchen said that I will live in his mansion in the future and will not go to the academy. Brother Hanmo will come to teach me how to study, so I am here to pay my respects to Sister Zhiyao."
Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Yuanchen had never mentioned this to her, but since it was his decision, she respected him.
"Sister Zhiyao, are you okay?" Yuan Che asked with concern again.
Sheng Zhiyao smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yuan Che nodded: "Then I will say goodbye first. Brother Hancheng will come to teach me how to practice martial arts later."
"You go quickly."
After Yuan Che walked away, Sheng Zhiyao turned to Mei'er and asked in confusion: "Did you know about this early in the morning?"
Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Yes, the prince told us not to tell you so that you won't worry."
Sheng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows lightly and bent his mouth.
This guy...
"Okay, let's continue walking." She greeted Mei'er, but her feet accelerated a little.
Mei'er quickly caught up with her and helped her walk out.
Sheng Zhiyao felt that today's sunshine was particularly warm, and the whole world became more vivid.
The spring breeze blows on the face, the fragrance of flowers refreshes the nose, making people energetic.
She took a deep breath of fresh air and couldn't help but squint her eyes. It seemed that even the air was stained with the fragrance of spring, which made people feel refreshed.
Unfortunately, this beauty ended soon.
The servant in front of the mansion came to report: "Miss, King Wu sent someone to send a post."
"Hmm?" Sheng Zhiyao was stunned, "Wu King invites me?"
She was not familiar with the eldest prince at all. Apart from a quick glance at the last birthday party, how could she suddenly come to invite him?
"Take it and see it." she said.
The servant presented an invitation to her.
Sheng Zhiyao unfolded, and just glanced at him, and couldn't help frowning.
King Wu actually wanted to invite her to the royal palace dinner, which was tomorrow and accompanied by her family.
"I got it, I thanked King Wu for me, but told the visitor that the princess is the youngest in the family and has no right to make decisions for grandpa, father, mother and brother, so I will go to dinner tomorrow."
The servant agreed and stepped down.
Sheng Zhiyao fell into silence while holding the invitation.
"Miss Wu Wang suddenly invited me. The matter is suspicious. Why don't we discuss it with the prince?" Mei'er suggested.
After all, she has been following Sheng Zhiyao for many years and is very clear about Sheng Zhiyao's personality.
"No need, we can't refuse the invitation from King Wu. It's better to be straightforward." Sheng Zhiyao said calmly, "Besides, I will be more careful tomorrow, you can prepare my clothes and jewelry for me."
"Who said I can't avoid it!" Feng Yuanchen walked behind them at some point. When he heard the conversation between the two, his eyebrows raised, "You can't go."
When Mei'er saw him, she hurriedly bowed: "I've seen the prince."
Feng Yuanchen waved his hand and signaled her to exempt him from the gift.
He looked up at Sheng Zhiyao and said with a harsh reproach: "The invitation from King Wu to attend a dinner is not a simple party. What if you make a mistake?"
Sheng Zhiyao looked at his serious appearance and couldn't help laughing: "I just want to see what he sells in the gourd!"
Feng Yuanchen frowned: "At this time, any movement may become a fatal threat. You must be cautious, even if you take risks."
Sheng Zhiyao was scolded and speechless.
"Prince, in fact, Miss, isn't a reckless person, you don't have to worry too much." Mei'er spoke out to relieve the situation.
Feng Yuanchen glanced at her and said indifferently: "I know she is not a reckless person, so I know these things better than you. I advised her not to go to the banquet because I don't want any accidents."
Mei'er shut up embarrassedly.
"I know it's Hongmen Banquet, I want to meet you." Sheng Zhiyao suddenly smiled and his eyes fluttered. "Anyway, I can't hide from you, so I might as well welcome you calmly."
Feng Yuanchen's face turned slightly white, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Since you insist, I will accompany you, but..."
"I know." Sheng Zhiyao smiled softly, "But don't be angry, right?"
Feng Yuanchen pursed his lips and lowered his head to ponder for a moment: "I will accompany you, but it does not mean that I agree to you to attend the banquet. I have a premonition that this dinner is not as calm as you imagined."
Sheng Zhiyao nodded slightly: "I know."
"And I, the emperor, are not such a docile person. How despicable his methods are, you can't imagine, and there are no disgusting things that he can't do."
Sheng Zhiyao burst out laughing: "You just don't trust my abilities?"
