Qi Feng has never been close to women, he only glanced at her and avoided his eyes.
is her……
He suppressed the memories in his mind and picked up the wine glass as if no one else was watching.
On Shen Zi's side, she seemed to feel that a gaze had just glanced at her, and she couldn't help but turn her head inexplicably, but still found nothing.
Not long after, I saw palace maids and eunuchs carrying wine bottles filing in.
Jiang Kaiyuan often molested palace maids in public, and he was a relative of the emperor. When he came and went, few palace maids were willing to toast him, so he was surrounded by eunuchs who lowered their heads and said nothing.
One of the palace maids paused for a moment at Gu Jingheng's place, then went to Jiang Kaiyuan and other friends to propose a toast.
Jiang Kaiyuan's true nature was immediately exposed. He grabbed the palace maid's hand and said, "She is indeed quite pretty. How about following my uncle out of the palace?"
The palace maid was not in a hurry to shake him off, she whispered back, "Here", then turned and left.
The moment she turned around, Jiang Kaiyuan touched his hand with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, none of this scene escaped Qifeng's eyes.
He was thoughtful and turned his eyes to Shen Zi. She had been staring there just now when the palace maid was pouring wine.
Doubts arose in his mind, so he drank wine calmly and observed Shen Zi silently.
Not long after, Yong Ning was seen sneaking up to Shen Zi's side and sitting down quietly.
Qi Feng took a closer look and saw that Yongning sat down and smiled proudly at Shen Zi, which showed that this matter was indeed related to them.
The wine was in full swing, and the people present were drinking and laughing. The atmosphere reached its peak amid the aroma of wine. Shen Zi looked at Gu Jingheng, who was not in his seat, with an increasingly murderous look in his eyes.
Where did Gu Jingheng go at this time?
He was on his way to Linglong Pavilion alone at night. Although Gu Jingheng was not familiar with the road in the palace, he was still familiar with Linglong Pavilion.
Linglong Pavilion is located in a quiet place. Because the banquet has already started, it feels like a cold palace. Even the palace attendants have evacuated.
Gu Jingheng didn't find it strange. Instead, he thought it was good. There was no one around, so no one knew what he did or said here.
Lu Li would definitely go when he asked her to meet him. Now she still has a certain value. As long as this incident is over, she, a person who betrayed the Lu family, will still be guilty even if she dies.
When the time comes to find an excuse to convict her, who will stand up and plead for mercy? A stupid woman.
And what about him?
He can rely on Lu Li's plan to reach the top step by step and realize his grand hegemony.
As we walked, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, the dark clouds revealed a little glimmer of light, the cold branches withered in the distance, and the north wind made people shiver.
He turned around, pushed open the door, and disappeared into the moonlight.
At this time, in Linglong Pavilion, a warm and fragrant jade suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jingheng.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gu Jingheng said coldly.
"Gu Jingheng, do you know how much I miss you." After saying that, the woman fell directly on Gu Jingheng, and streams of hot air fell on his neck.
"Bold." Gu Jingheng scolded sternly.
The woman didn't seem to care at all, but instead spoke more lightly, "Gu Jingheng, what are you pretending to be?"
The woman said that she had no intention of negotiating, and took off the man's belt with one hand. Gu Jingheng's face was furious, and when he was about to speak, the woman blocked his mouth.
Gu Jingheng was furious, but at this moment, an inexplicable fragrance came over.
Gu Jingheng had already inhaled it and felt that his body was out of control.
At this time, on the other side, the emperor and the empress had arrived. After three rounds of wine, Jiang Kaiyuan excused himself to relieve himself and followed the leading eunuch out of the palace gate.
Not long after, a eunuch rushed in in a panic and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Queen, it's not good! My uncle has disappeared. Just now he said he wanted to go for convenience, so he asked his servants to take him there. Who knows... ...Halfway through, Uncle Guo disappeared..."
"What do you mean, Uncle Guo disappeared out of thin air? He drank so much, why didn't you keep an eye on him?"
After hearing this, Shen Zi looked at the queen and felt really sorry for her brother.
The emperor also got angry and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, "What nonsense!"
The eunuch trembled and kowtowed to the emperor and queen, shouting, "Your Majesty, please calm down, Queen, please calm down..."
"Your Majesty." At this time Jiang Guozhang stood up.
"At this time, there is no point in blaming. It is more important to find Yuan'er first. The palace is heavily guarded. There is no danger in thinking. It's just that it's freezing and snowy. It would be bad if we bump into him wherever we go.
Although the palace is large, he was drunk and couldn't get anywhere. There are so many of us, so we should be able to find him soon."
What Jiang Guozhang said was reasonable. No matter what, it was his son who was missing, so he didn't care.
But he still has another worry. Jiang Kai is lustful. If...
But there is no other way at the moment, finding talents is the most important thing.
"Yes...yes...let's go look for it!"
Everyone agreed, not to mention how much resentment they had with the Jiang family on weekdays, but at least for now, they still had to show enough hypocrisy.
Shen Zi suppressed the sneer in her heart and walked slowly with Yongning behind the crowd.
I'm afraid the only ones who care here are the Jiang family.
Following the little eunuch's guidance, everyone came to the direction near Lingling Pavilion.
"ah!"
The person walking in front screamed.
Everyone looked for the sound and looked over, only to see the daughter-in-law of Duke Sui holding a lantern in her hand and staring intently at the Linglong Pavilion.
Pointing in the direction with one hand, he said with a trembling voice, "There is... there is a ghost!"
The direction of her finger reflected two figures.
"Sisi, don't look!" Mrs. Sui Guogong, who came from a family of military generals, quickly covered her daughter's eyes.
There's no ghost there, it's clearly two intertwined bodies.
When the ladies around him saw this, they all reacted and quickly told their daughters to cover their eyes.
"I can't see it, I can't see it..."
Some old people felt their eyes were dirty and quickly turned their heads. This was a New Year's Eve banquet! It was too unsightly to do such an embarrassing thing in public...
But at this moment, one or two lingering and mournful voices came from the pavilion. Not to mention the young girls who had left the pavilion and the young gentlemen who were not yet married, even the married ones blushed with shame and wished they could leave this place far away. .
Only the queen murmured in a trembling voice, "Then...then...who is...in there?"
Although the queen was asking who she was, everyone understood her worries. Uncle Jiang Guo had disappeared first, and now that something like this happened, who else but him could think of who it was!
"Is it Uncle Jiang Guo?" Someone in the crowd said something.
"No, no." Before His Majesty could speak, Zhang Guozhang spoke first.
"Your Majesty, Yuan'er is not such a person. Although he is uneducated and has no skills, he understands Dali! I think there must be something fishy in this. Your Majesty, please investigate!"
