The banquet continued, and everyone still toasted to each other and talked about some interesting things that happened recently. They all tacitly did not mention what happened just now, as if they had forgotten it.
Xiao Muyang and Gu Xing were also drinking at their respective seats, acting as if nothing happened.
Even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, they can only suppress them at the moment, otherwise the consequences may be unbearable for them. After all, the king's heart is unpredictable.
"I haven't seen the prince for a long time. Today I have the opportunity to have a drink together. The emperor's brother would like to toast the prince." I saw Cang Tianlin holding up the wine glass and smiling at the prince. The smile on his face looked very friendly, as if he was talking to the prince on weekdays.
The feeling is very good.
Cang Tianjun's eyes were slightly stern, and he looked at his imperial brother with a calm expression. Everyone thought that the second prince was in charge of the Canglong Army and was only good at marching and fighting. His control over people's hearts was not as good as that of the prince. In fact, this was the greatest contempt for Cang Tianlin. At the same time,
As a candidate for king, no one knows the second prince better than him.
Like a dragon lurking in the abyss, it is unfathomable. When it encounters a storm, it can dance around.
"It's true that we haven't gotten together for a long time. Let's find some time to get together again in private." Cang Tianjun said in a calm tone, which seemed a bit polite, and then he picked up the wine glass and drank it directly without worrying about Cang Tianlin.
Cang Tianlin's face was a little stiff, then he smiled and drank the wine in the cup.
"Father, emperor, mother, queen, my sons and ministers have not fulfilled their filial piety, and I would like to punish myself by drinking three glasses of wine." Cang Tianjun picked up the wine glass again and said to the king and queen.
At this time, many princes, princesses and ministers below seemed to realize something and stood up one after another, holding wine glasses in their hands with respectful expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, Cang Tianlin also raised his glass and looked at the king, and said with a guilty look: "My son is unfilial. I haven't come back to say hello for a long time. I hope you will forgive me."
Hearing Cang Tianlin's words, Cang Tianjun's pupils shrank slightly. Is he already so smooth now?
"The prince is benevolent and the second prince is brave. You are all doing meritorious service for Canglan. What crime are you guilty of?" The king said with a smile on his face: "It is enough for you to propose a toast. The queen and I were also a little tired, so we left the table.
The next banquet will be hosted by the prince."
"Thank you, father." The prince and the second prince said in unison, and then each drank another drink.
The king and the queen stood up at the same time and walked out of the palace. Everyone watched them leave until the two figures disappeared from sight.
"You don't have to be restrained, just enjoy yourself." The prince looked at the crowd and said, and saw a trace of relaxation on the faces of many people. Now that the king has left, they don't have so much pressure, and the atmosphere in the palace has become
Much easier.
At a certain moment, Xiao Muyang stood up, walked to the center of the hall, bowed to the prince and said: "The disciple still has some things to deal with in the school. I kindly ask the prince to allow the disciple to leave."
The prince is the honorary master of Yuncang Academy, so there is nothing wrong with Xiao Muyang calling himself a disciple.
"Correct." The prince said calmly, without much concern in his eyes.
Then Gu Xing also stood up and asked the prince to resign.
"If you have something to do, you can leave directly without asking me to resign." The prince said again.
When everyone heard this, a deep meaning flashed in their eyes. Something like that happened tonight. The prince seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Then I saw some ministers getting up one after another and bowing in the direction of the prince. Although the prince claimed that he could leave directly, they still had to follow the etiquette to avoid being criticized.
"Senior sister, let's go." Xiao Muyang said to Xue Waner, and Xue Waner nodded gently: "Okay."
Then the three of them left the hall together. As time passed, more and more ministers left together. In the end, there were only two people left in the huge Taicang Palace, namely the crown prince and the second prince.
"Tonight, the prince seems unhappy. Is there something on his mind?" The second prince looked at the prince with a trace of concern on his face.
Lord Cangtian also looked at Cangtianlin and said calmly: "There are only you and me here, why should the second emperor be so secretive?"
"In that case, the emperor will get straight to the point." The smile on Cang Tianlin's face suddenly disappeared, as if he was a different person. There was a trace of majesty in his eyes as he asked: "The prince lost a genius today.
And besides Gu Xing, I may have one more person. How confident is the prince that he can compete with me in the future?"
"The second emperor brother seems to feel very good about himself." Cang Tianjun suddenly said: "Does the second emperor brother think that Xiao Muyang will really abandon me? Also, between Gu Xing and Xiao Muyang, who is the one who calls the shots?
?”
The prince's words made Cang Tianlin's pupils shrink slightly, and his originally calm heart suddenly stirred up a wave of disturbance.
He didn't know much about Xiao Muyang. Although what happened today would make Xiao Muyang hate the prince, in the future, Xiao Muyang would still be practicing at Yuncang Academy, so the prince would have enough time to win him over in other ways.
As for the relationship between Xiao Muyang and Gu Xing, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Muyang is the one who makes the decision.
If Xiao Muyang chooses the prince, Gu Xing may be shaken.
However, even with these thoughts in his mind, the expression on Cang Tianlin's face still did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Prince, there is no need to confuse me with words. I always only look at the present, and facts have proved that the Prince cannot control everything. If
Being too attached to one thing may backfire."
After saying that, Cang Tianlin stood up and walked out of the hall. When he was about to leave the hall, his footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned back to look at Cang Tianjun and asked with a smile: "One more thing, the prince thinks Ye Chen will
Won’t he die?”
After the words fell, Cang Tianlin strode out of Taicang Palace.
I saw Cang Tianjun sitting on the throne, with a deep meaning in his eyes. Cang Tianlin's last question was to kill him.
Whether Ye Chen can continue to live will truly determine whether he and Xiao Muyang are enemies or friends.
Xiao Muyang and the other three dispersed after leaving the palace. Gu Xing returned to the Canglong Legion alone, while Xiao Muyang and Xue Wan'er returned to Yuncang Academy.
On the way back, Xiao Muyang suddenly looked at Xue Waner and asked casually: "Which of the three famous places in Tiancang City has the deepest power?"
"Why are you asking about this suddenly?" Xue Waner's beautiful eyes showed a trace of doubt.
"I wanted to ask before, but I will ask now when I think of it." Xiao Muyang said with a smile.
"In terms of background, the Shenbing Pavilion is undoubtedly the strongest, and among the three major forces, only the Shenbing Pavilion does not completely belong to the Canglan Kingdom. Tianyinfang and Zuixianju are both local forces of the Canglan Kingdom.
"Xue Wan'er patiently explained that this matter is a secret. Only the core figures of some big forces know about it, and most people have no idea about it.
"Doesn't it completely belong to Canglan Country?" Xiao Muyang's expression was frozen there, as if he had heard a big secret.
"Well, although the Shenbing Pavilion was established in Canglan Country, I heard my father mention it accidentally. The origin of Shenbing Pavilion is extremely mysterious. The power behind it is very huge. It is even more powerful than Canglan Country. The people of Tiancang City
The Shenbing Pavilion is just the tip of the iceberg."
I saw Xiao Muyang fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't think so much. You have worked too hard during this period. Go back and have a good rest." Xue Waner warned, Xiao Muyang smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Then the two of them walked together, their figures gradually disappearing into the dark night.
