Chapter 57
After watching the play for an hour, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet finally began.

And the prince was called away by Emperor Xuan, and he hasn't appeared again until now.

Everyone sat at the table one by one, and soon all the seats that should be seated were filled. Finally, the emperor and queen arrived with the queen mother. The banquet began, but the seat next to Qin Wei was still empty.

This is the palace, and that person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although he thought it was impossible, Qin Hao couldn't help but think, something will happen to the prince, right?

The second prince and the third prince spoke harshly before, could it be that they really prepared a big move in the palace?
The prince is very powerful, and he kills without blinking an eye, but this is the palace, and the elder brother of the third concubine is the commander of the imperial army.

No matter how powerful the prince is, he is still a mortal, and his kung fu is not invincible.

Jingzhe and Jingshuang can protect the prince, but how many people can they resist?Besides, who said that it must be a competition of force?

Conspiracies and schemes to hurt people are hard to guard against.

And there is...

Qin Hua watched the empress calmly, the prince didn't show up, should the empress be anxious?It's impossible for the emperor not to see it, right?

But now the two of them didn't seem to have much reaction, and ignored the fact that the prince didn't show up.

This also made Qin Hua more affirmed the guess in his heart.

In this palace, conspiracies and tricks may not be able to keep the prince, but what if the emperor punishes the prince?
No matter how good your martial arts are, you have to restrain yourself in front of the emperor.

And the Empress Sitting dignifiedly next to Emperor Xuan, she didn't seem to be in a hurry. Could it be that she already knew the inside story?
"Wen Wang congratulates the Empress Dowager for a long time, and sends a congratulatory gift, a pair of cranes!"

The eunuch's sharp voice pulled back Qin Hua's thoughts, surrounded by voices of exclamation one after another: "Wow, is this really a crane?"

"No, just like the touch on the painting, this is the first time I've seen something alive."

"Where did you find this? King Wen is amazing."

The Empress Dowager was obviously very satisfied with the gift, with a clear smile on her face: "King Wen has a heart."

The medium-sized and slightly fat King Wen cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It is right to work hard for the Empress Dowager. It is their good fortune that these cranes can be liked by the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager smiled even more, and immediately asked people to take the crane down to raise it properly.

Qin Hao looked at this person, but his appearance was not outstanding, not to say he was good-looking, but he was also upright. He didn't look like a cunning person, but he was such a person, and secretly tortured many people to death.

From the mouths of those criminals, I learned that Wen Chengyi would send people to King Wen's mansion every two months, sometimes three or four, sometimes six or seven.

For five years, only people went in, but no one came out.

But after sending so many people in, none of them were seen in King Wen's Mansion.

On the other hand, there are mass graves in the north of the city, and there are many tragic deaths every year.

There are countless people who died in vain, but this animal in human skin is extremely noble and glamorous.

Hell is open and open, and evil spirits are in the world.

Qin Hua turned the cup and accidentally applied a little force, and the cup burst open.

"The King of Lu congratulates the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, and presents a pair of Tianshan Snow Lotus, a Snow Ganoderma lucidum, and a pair of warm jade bracelets."

The queen mother gave birth to two princes and one princess, one was Emperor Xuan and the other was King Lu. The only princess married far away and married Yan.

King Lu made a mistake a year ago. It is said that he killed an official. The literati knew about it.

This can be called covering up, but no one really dared to force the emperor to kill his brother.

A year has passed, and the matter has cooled down.

However, King Lu still didn't come back in person today, he just sent someone to deliver a gift.

The queen mother did not smile when she received the congratulatory gift, she just looked at the emperor, a little dissatisfied.

Obviously he wanted his younger son to come back, but if his wish was not fulfilled, he could only blame his elder son.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the queen mother only took a look, and soon returned to normal, and the banquet continued.

Qin Hua didn't want to worry about the prince, and didn't think there was anything to worry about. It's just that half an hour into the banquet, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up and went out quietly.

After eating and drinking, most people went to Gong's room, so her departure was not abrupt.

Just after walking out of Xianyao Terrace, I heard the eunuch's shrill voice shouting: "My lord, congratulate the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, send..."

Qin Hao couldn't understand what was said next, but Qin Wei was surprised by the Master of the State Teacher.

Turning his head to look to the south, at this very moment, he could see the top of a seven-storey building with a faint golden light shining. It was the South Star Tower, where Yuan Chen, the national teacher, lived.

The age of the national teacher should be around seventy years old. He has worshiped Taoism since he was a child, and his Taoism is profound. It is said that he has touched the door of immortality and devoted himself to cultivation. He is only one step away from becoming an immortal.

This mysterious national teacher served two generations of emperors, Xiandi and Xuandi, and it is with his support that the current emperor has secured his throne.

The Nanxing Building was built by Emperor Xuan with a huge sum of money. It was built at the south gate of the palace, and its height even surpassed many palaces in the palace.

Since the day it was built ten years ago, the national teacher has lived in it, and it seems that he has never come out.

Although Xia Guo didn't have a great way to practice Taoism, his status as a national teacher was really detached. He pursued the immortal way and never met ordinary people. It is said that the emperor had to go there in person if he had to make calculations.

Qin Hua maintains an attitude of awe towards ghosts, gods and demons, and does not slander or delve into them.

People who have nothing to do with her are quickly forgotten. She came out to find the prince.

Although she felt that she was completely unnecessary, she couldn't sit still.

I originally came out with a dispensable mentality, but I didn't expect to find out where the prince was when I asked casually.

Fengxian Hall - the place where the royal family is enshrined as the first emperor in the palace.

What is the prince doing there?
Qin Hua went over with doubts. She had guessed that the crown prince was punished. The Fengxian Hall was dedicated to the ancestors, and they were usually punished by kneeling.

But she only guessed half right, the prince was indeed punished to kneel, but he didn't kneel inside, but kneeled in the open air in the courtyard of Fengxian Hall.

The lights are flickering, the cold wind is blowing through the hall, and it is not yet dark, but it can still make people feel the penetrating cold.

The prince knelt in the courtyard alone, his back straight and motionless.

There is an inexplicable kind of aloofness and desolation, alone in the world.

No one can get close, no one can get close.

I always feel that the prince I saw at this moment seems to be much more real.

Fengxian Hall is not a place that can be entered casually. Qin Wei didn't step in, but stood outside in the corridor.

The main reason is that she can't do anything even if she went in, the prince was punished by the emperor, she thought she didn't have that much face to make the emperor take back his order.

Thinking about the reason why the prince was punished, it was because the second prince and the third prince were assassinated but implicated others. Is this also a crime?

Qin Hao didn't understand the emperor's thoughts, and he didn't dare to say whether the prince was really innocent.

It's just that the prince, who was always arrogant and arrogant, was punished to kneel obediently. Why do you think it's a little funny?

Ah, is she gloating?

Tsk tsk, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.
