Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 30 Su Jinxiu

Zhang Yu's death eventually reached the palace, because Academician Zhang came and "reported illness at home".At first, the emperor didn't pay much attention to it, but as time went by, he noticed something was unusual. He sent the imperial doctor to diagnose it and found that Academician Zhang was indeed seriously ill and was bedridden.

When Prince Song Ningyu got the news, he immediately rushed to the East Palace and asked about the situation.

Song Ningyu looked solemn and said: "Father, Zhang Yu was assassinated to death. This is definitely not an accident. Zhongdu is the capital of Dazhao. Now that something like this happens, the blow to Academician Zhang will be huge. If not If we find out the truth as soon as possible, we may cause panic among the people.”

The emperor frowned and ordered: "Publish my decree and order the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation."

After Chen Zhong, the Minister of Punishment, received the order, he hurriedly went about it.

……

Half a month later, it was the day of the palace banquet.

Huo Qingluan, wearing a servant's clothes, followed Song Jiyang, and on his right was Ling Gang.Unlike others who enter the palace, Ling Gang can enter the palace with a sword. In the words of Emperor Song, "As long as you don't put the sword on my neck, you can do whatever you want."

Huo Qingluan could only sigh that the Emperor of Song Dynasty treated his nephew so well. Not only did he let him do politics, but he also allowed him to come and go everywhere at will. It could be said that he gave him enough face.Moreover, he was allowed to bring along his subordinates who were highly skilled in martial arts. This was simply ignoring the other princes and was considered a special way of favoring him.

But Song Jiyang didn't seem to be very happy about this. He just said lightly: "He is just guilty." and refused to mention it again.

Although today's palace banquet was apparently a spring appreciation banquet, it was actually an excuse for the emperor and the empress to choose concubines for the princes.Therefore, in addition to the major officials, there are also ladies and ladies from various families.

The officials sat down in the front hall to listen to music, while the ladies went to the queen's home in the harem.It will take about half a stick of incense to appear in the banquet hall one after another.

As the regent, Song Jiyang's status was naturally superior, and almost every official would toast him as a sign of goodwill.Regardless of whether he is willing or not, at least he has done enough on the surface.

After the three of them waited there for an hour, an official greeted them to the banquet hall. The men and women were separated, and a gauze curtain formed a natural barrier.

Not long after Song Jiyang sat down, several veiled girls came to greet him.Huo Qingluan felt uncomfortable for no reason, and her way of expressing her discomfort was... to kick Song Jiyang hard with her foot.

"Yeah!" Song Jiyang groaned and looked somewhere.The eyes revealed a strong coldness, like knives, which frightened the veiled ladies and retreated in panic.

Huo Qingluan curled his lips, retracted his legs, and pretended as if nothing happened.

"I'm disabled from being kicked, so I'll have to work hard to take care of me in the future." Song Jiyang smiled broadly and spoke in a gentle tone. He didn't look like he had been kicked just now.

Huo Qingluan rolled his eyes: "Haha, isn't there Ling Gang?"

Song Jiyang raised his eyebrows, looked at Ling Gang and said, "What about you?"

Ling Gang was speechless at these two childish guys, but looking at his master's "If you dare to say the wrong thing, you will be punished by me" look, he could only bite the bullet and said: "This subordinate is already weak. I also want to find a marriage."

Song Jiyang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ling Gang. After a moment, he chuckled and said to Huo Qingluan: "I have to trouble Madam. After all, a husband still needs to avoid suspicion."

Depend on!What are you two grown men trying to avoid, why are you so careless? !

Huo Qingluan was so angry that he stopped paying attention to the master and servant for a while.

Song Jiyang glanced at Huo Qingluan again, lowered his eyes, and outlined an evil arc at the corner of his mouth.

……

In the banquet hall, a melodious flute sound suddenly sounded, which was melodious and attracted everyone's attention.I saw a masked woman in a black dress standing on the stage playing the flute. She folded her arms in front of her chest and held her slender waist in a graceful posture.The song "Feng Qiu Huang" flows slowly, making people intoxicated.

The ministers and young ladies present all cast approving glances, and countless young men looked fascinated.Huo Qingluan's eyes fell on the masked woman, feeling a little familiar inexplicably.

"She is Su Jinyu, but now... her name is Su Jinxiu." Song Jiyang explained as if he saw Huo Qingluan's confusion.

Hearing this, Huo Qingluan was slightly startled, and then he suddenly came to his senses.No wonder it felt familiar, it turned out to be her!
"How did you bring her out of the brothel? This is the palace." Huo Qingluan asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I won't let others suspect that I have a relationship with her." Song Jiyang said.It did take him a little effort, but it wasn't too difficult.

"What do you want to do? What do Su Jinyu want to do?" Huo Qingluan asked with a frown.She vaguely felt that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

Song Jiyang laughed and said: "Luan'er doesn't have to worry, I won't harm her. And compared to living in pain like this, revenge may be her best choice."

Huo Qingluan was silent and did not ask any more questions.She knew that since Song Jiyang said he wouldn't hurt her, he definitely wouldn't.

"Huh? Look, His Majesty and the Queen are here." A voice of surprise suddenly came from not far away.

Suddenly, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

The emperor led a group of concubines towards the banquet hall.He wore a black dragon robe tonight and a golden crown on his head. His facial features were handsome and deep, his figure was slender and straight, and his manners were elegant, just like a god.

"Long live my emperor! Long live my queen! Thousand years live my queen!" Everyone knelt down respectfully to pay homage to the emperor and queen.

The emperor raised his hand, gave it some support, and then sat down on the throne.He glanced around and saw Su Jinyu kneeling on the stage.There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.

The queen stood beside the emperor dignifiedly and virtuously, with a slight smile on her beautiful face, very dignified and elegant.But when her eyes fell on Su Jinyu, there was a faint cold light in her eyes.

"My dear friends, please be safe." The emperor's majestic voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone present stood up one after another and then returned to their places.

Huo Qingluan's eyes fell on Su Jinyu on the stage, and he secretly shook his head.Is her move a blessing or a misfortune?

"She chose her own path." Song Jiyang's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Huo Qingluan turned his head and looked at him without speaking.

At this time, Su Jinyu finished playing the music, stood up and saluted, preparing to leave.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly said: "Miss Jinxiu, please stay."

Su Jinyu stopped, turned around, looked at the emperor, and saluted.

The emperor pointed to the empty chair below him and said: "Girl Jinxiu, give me a seat!"

After Su Jinyu hesitated for a long time, he stood up and sat down.As soon as she sat down, she felt strange eyes from around her.She couldn't help but frown, but she always remained calm.

After Su Jinyu sat down, the emperor announced the start of the banquet.For a time, there was a lot of people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.
