Chapter 72
During the dinner, Gu Yin took the initiative to toast Emperor Wen and Bai Jiuxiao three glasses of wine each, repeatedly emphasizing his apology and gratitude.

Emperor Wen was naturally happy and accepted them one by one.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't make a sound, his face was stern, and his emotions were unclear, but he didn't make things difficult, and silently accepted Gu Yin's toast.

As a result, after a few glasses of wine, Gu Yin became a little drunk, and when he got up to toast again, he almost fell down, but Ning Shiqian who was beside him had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly supported him.

"My lord, you don't drink well, so you can't drink any more."

Gu Yin's face was flushed, his eyes were drunk, and he insisted on holding the cup: "Although...although I can't drink it, but I must show my sincerity."

"But if you drink any more, the prince will be drunk." Ning Shiqian frowned.

Seeing Gu Yin staggering and drunk, Emperor Wen also raised his hand to stop him: "I have seen the sincerity of the Fourth Prince, just drink to your heart's content, and don't force it too much."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Shiqian nodded to Emperor Wen in thanks, took the cup from Gu Yin's hand and put it down, and helped him sit down.

Sitting there, Gu Yin obviously felt a little uncomfortable. He supported his head with his hands for a while, and then lay down on the table.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Wen said: "It seems that the fourth prince is not lightly drunk, why don't you just stay in the palace and wake up tomorrow morning before leaving the palace?"

Ning Shiqian was a little embarrassed, stepped forward and tried to help Gu Yin, but found that he was already unconscious and soundly asleep.

"My lord, my lord"

Called a few times and there was no response.

Ning Shiqian had no choice but to respond to Emperor Wen's proposal: "I can only disturb you."

Emperor Wen ordered the palace servants to take the two of them to Guilai Palace.

Guilai Palace is a palace specially used to receive envoys from other countries.

Two young eunuchs came over, one left and one right supported Gu Yin to leave, and after Ning Shiqian finished his ceremony, he followed closely.

After leaving the Weiyang Palace, Ning Shiqian turned his head and found that under the dim night, a man with black hair and a rustling cloak was walking behind them.

Ning Shiqian's eyes narrowed slightly, a little surprised that Bai Jiuxiao also followed.

Then he stopped and waited for a while, waiting for Bai Jiuxiao to approach.

Wei Wei saluted: "The Ninth Prince is too polite, there is no need for the Ninth Prince to personally send it."

Bai Jiuxiao glanced at him lightly: "It's not that Mr. Ning doesn't know that this is the only way to go to Nuanxiang Pavilion."

Nuanxiang Pavilion?
Ning Shiqian remembered the last time in Nuanxiang Pavilion, when he grinded ink and beat her back for her.

Thinking about it now, she must have done it on purpose, to let him know that there were no unhealed injuries on her back, so that he could dispel the suspicion that she and Hei Yunwai were the same person.

"So, is the prince staying in the palace tonight?"

The two walked forward together, Ning Shiqian asked.

Bai Shixiang said that the Nuanxiang Pavilion was specially built by Emperor Wen for Bai Jiuxiao, and she would sometimes read memorials and rest in it.

Bai Jiuxiao glanced at him again: "Young Master Ning, it seems that he really doesn't want me to stay in the palace?"

Of course not, he and Gu Yin finally performed such a drunken scene, and they stayed as they wished. They wanted to take this opportunity to do something, but they didn't want to be messed up again.

Ning Shiqian's expression remained unchanged: "No way, this is Da Zhao's palace, how dare Ning think about it."

Bai Jiuxiao sneered: "I see you dare to think very much! But I didn't expect that the Fourth Prince's drinking capacity is so light."

Of course Ning Shiqian heard what she meant and was not afraid.

"It's much better now. A few years ago, I poured a cup. I heard from him that he often drank with Heiyunwai and practiced it. Presumably the Ninth Prince also knows that Heiyunwai is invulnerable to a hundred poisons, and a thousand cups can't be poured." .”
