Chapter 50 Hongmen Banquet?
[You can’t drink it. In the original work, the heroine put the medicine on the glass cup, which almost got the villain hooked. 】

Li Qing's dark eyes froze, and he glanced at the glass cup in his hand.

Sure enough, beautiful things are dangerous.

Put medicine on the cup?
Was it Murong Qing's own idea or Marquis Bo'an's?
While thinking, a hand reached out.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little thirsty. Let me drink this cup." Nan Xi really couldn't think of any other way.

[Just drink it. Anyway, the poison that the heroine gave to the villain in the original work was not poison. At worst, if you spend some merit to detoxify it, you must not let the heroine take advantage of the villain. 】

Li Qingmo took the glass cup aside, avoided Nan Xi's hand, and then handed over the cup he had just used.

"Drink this cup."

Nan Xi was a little anxious.

【What happened to him?Is the plot really irreversible?The villain is destined to drink this cup of spiked tea? 】

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Li Qingmo handed the glass cup back to Murong Qing.

His tone was slightly cold, which was completely different from when he spoke to Nan Xi just now.

"drink."

Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why Li Qingmo didn't drink the cup of tea like in the original work, it was still good.

She drank all the tea in her hand, completely forgetting that this cup was used by Li Qingmo just now.

Murong Qing was slightly startled, but she didn't expect Li Qingmo to hand the cup back.

He was about to drink just now!
"Your Majesty." Murong Qing smiled lightly, trying to maintain the dignified temperament that she had practiced countless times, "Your Majesty, you think this tea is a bit cold? I will pour another cup for Your Majesty right now."

Li Qing's eyes were full of sarcasm, and he placed the glass cup heavily on the table, but the tea inside did not spill out at all.

"drink."

The atmosphere suddenly condensed.

Murong Qing could no longer calm down, "Your Majesty, I..."

Murong Tao was eager to protect his daughter, "My lord, what do you mean?"

He's not grumpy either.

Even if the other party is the regent, it is absolutely impossible to bully his daughter.

Li Qingmo snorted coldly, her mocking eyes falling on Murong Qing's face, "Don't you dare to drink? I thought Miss Murong was very brave, otherwise how could she dare to give me medicine?"

"?"

Murong Qing's eyes widened and she looked at Li Qingmo in disbelief, not knowing when her little scheme was seen through.

Murong Tao and Bai both believed in their daughters.

Murong Tao, in particular, was even more furious, "Prince Regent, if you don't want to be an alliance with me, I won't force you to do so, but you shouldn't insult my daughter's reputation like this!"

Although Bai didn't say anything, his expression showed anger.

Murong Qing looked over with tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly: "My lord, you have really wronged me."

With such a pitiful appearance, no man could help but believe her.

It's a pity that Li Qingmo was described by the original author as a world-weary man who was cold-hearted, cold-blooded, and had a desire for destruction. He had no reaction at all to Murong Qing's hypocritical manner. "Since you are unjust, then drink it." His tone was straightforward, but there was a force that could not be refused.

Murong Qing trembled, and for the first time she felt the coldness of this man face to face.

She slowly picked up the glass cup and slowly brought it to her mouth, but she couldn't bring herself to actually drink it.

With such a reaction, anyone can guess what is going on.

Bai looked at her daughter in disbelief, "Qing'er, are you serious?"

Murong Tao couldn't believe that his daughter, who had always been knowledgeable and courteous, would do such a thing.

"My lord, this, this is all a misunderstanding. My daughter has absolutely no intention of hurting your lord, and I don't dare to do it." He could only try his best to explain, and angrily scolded Murong Qing: "Hurry up and admit your mistake to your lord!"

Murong Qing put down the glass cup, took a step away, lifted up her skirt slightly, and knelt on the ground.

"Please forgive me, my lord."

Li Qingmo's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he glanced at Murong Tao with a half-smile.

"Marquis Bo'an is hosting the Hongmen Banquet today?"

Murong Tao and Bai Shi also stood up quickly. They couldn't help but think of the eunuch who tried to poison Li Qingmo a few years ago. In the end, he was cut into pieces by five horses. The body was hung at the gate of the city for seven days and seven nights. It was taken down after it smelled bad. For several months, the people in the city did not dare to pass by the road in front of the Regent's Palace.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, today I really just want to discuss matters with the Prince about Prince Gong's Mansion in the name of Taohuajiang." Marquis Bo'an didn't hold back and got straight to the point.

"Prince Gong secretly bribed the killers of Mi Meng Pavilion to ambush the prince, causing the prince to almost suffer. But does the prince know that the deputy master of Mi Meng Pavilion is your former bodyguard Li Jiang, his code name is Kui, and the people who died in his hands over the years are not here. There are only a few, and among them there are many who are loyal to the prince."

Li Qingmo had already anticipated the purpose of Murong Tao's appointment with him, and was not surprised by his remarks.

"So? This can be the reason for Hou Bo'an to plot against me today? Do you want to tell me that you have become one with King Gong and want to kill me, or... frame me as a coveted court official? His daughter’s unjust villain?”

Marquis Bo'an knelt down in panic: "I don't dare to do this."

Bai also knelt down.

Their hearts were in their throats, as if they were holding their breath, for fear that they might offend the regent somewhere and cause trouble to the whole family.

Li Qingmo turned the walnuts in his hand, and every friction sound was like a knife stabbing the bodies of Bo'an Hou and his family, making his heart tremble with shock.

After a while, he spoke leisurely, his tone still indifferent, as if nothing here could interest him at all.

"Marquis Bo'an wanted to take sides, but he found the wrong person. I am dedicated to serving the court. When I become the emperor, my authority will naturally be transferred to the throne and I can live a more leisurely life."

Li Qingmo's words made Marquis Bo'an confused for a while.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Prince Gong's attack on the Prince Regent, surrender to the Prince Regent, work together to deal with Prince Gong, and seek a stable future for the Marquis of Bo'an, but now that the prince's words made him a little uncertain.

However, he was also unambiguous when it came to expressing his opinions.

"The lower official is naturally loyal to the emperor and devoted to the court." Murong Tao said with cupped hands.

Li Qingmo pondered for a moment and then said: "Everyone knows that I am not a lenient person to others. Anyone who offends me will be repaid a hundred times. King Gong has been holding the post of Salt Road for ten years. It is time for someone to change." Come take care of it.”

Murong Tao thought for a moment and understood Li Qingmo's hint, then he cupped his fists and raised his hands: "I know what to do, thank you for your trust."

After getting up, Li Qingmo glanced at Nan Xi behind him and prepared to leave. When passing by Murong Qing, he coughed a few more times, as if he was choked by the smell of her body, and distanced himself in disgust.

"If Marquis Bo'an wants his wish to come true, he still needs to restrain his family and control the family tradition, otherwise it will be in vain."
