Chapter 32 Assassination(1/2)

The night is already deep.

The palace was full of singing and dancing, and it was as bright as day.

Emperor Hui was worshiped by hundreds of officials and awarded a reward to General Mu, who was tired of his career.

Gu Huaizhi was sitting somewhere, holding a glass of wine and talking to Father Sheng next to him with a calm expression.

"Your aunt went to your place?"

"Um."

Father Sheng pondered for a moment: "That's fine."

He wanted to say something else, but a colleague came over to propose a toast, so he had to stop thinking.

Gu Huaizhi pinched a piece of snack and took a bite.

It's sweet but not greasy, and the craftsmanship in the imperial dining room is extremely good.

He thought for a while, then took off the purse from his waist. He put it in piece by piece as if there was no one there, until it couldn't fit anymore.

Prince Zhou Huan came over with a glass of wine. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ridicule.

"If you like it, I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more copies."

Gu Huaizhi was not embarrassed, he was ashamed for him. The dignified prince even had to put back his snacks, like a beggar on the street.

Gu Huaizhi slowly raised his head and glanced at him.

"Who said I like it?"

"If it's not you, then who is it? Can you bring it back to the Duke's wife to taste it? You are so filial."

Gu Huaizhi pulled the rope to seal it, tied it back to his waist, and said calmly.

"Small gray."

Zhou Huan was stunned: "Who is that?"

Gu Huaizhi's expression did not change, but what he said made Zhou Huan extremely angry.

"Is Mr. Chi's leg okay?"

Seeing Zhou Huan walk away with a dark face, Yi Lin was happy.

"He is a prince after all. You let the dog bite his cousin, but you said it in front of him. You should restrain yourself."

Gu Huaizhi's dark eyes were dark, obviously very surprised after hearing this.

"How many times have I told you to call it Xiao Hui."

Yi Lin:……

Bring the pastries from the palace back to the dogs to eat. Who dares to believe it if you tell me?

"Gu Huaizhi, look, that dancer is really tall."

Gu Huaizhi frowned and glanced casually: "Ugly."

"Come on, I've never heard of a girl from your mouth that I like. You're too picky."

Pleasing to the eye?

Gu Huaizhi's eyes flashed.

There is one.

He pursed his lips and didn't want to think about it anymore.

Emperor Hui, who looked old, had taken several Qi-tonifying pills made by the Taoist Priest and was now full of energy.

"You have an injury on your leg, sit down and talk." He said to General Mu.

"The doctor said it's nothing serious. We just need to rest for a while." General Mu said cheerfully.

Emperor Hui sealed his reward and looked at Mu Hansheng, who had sharp edges and unhealed wounds on his face.

This battle with Japan is really dangerous.

"Does Han Sheng have a girl he likes?"

Mu Hansheng cupped his fists and saluted: "No."

"You have been away fighting with your father for many years. It is rare to come back. There are deputy generals guarding the frontier. Japan is seriously injured this time and will not invade. It is better for the two of you to stay in Lin'an for a while. It is also a good family reunion.

"

"Your mother is also very anxious. This Flower Festival, please be careful. If you fall in love with any girl, I will marry you. This will prevent your mother from going to the queen to cry."

Mu Hansheng glanced at General Mu.

General Mu was sitting in a wheelchair and could not get up. He clasped his fists and said, "My child is stupid. I thank Your Majesty for him."

Father Sheng glanced at Mu Hansheng and then at Gu Huaizhi who was standing aside.

"The Mu family is a month younger than you."

Gu Huaizhi: "Oh."

"If he marries a wife, and there's still no movement on your side, your mother will definitely make a fuss."

Gu Huaizhi was silent.

After a while, he moved his lips: "Uncle."

"how?"

"If you have time to worry about whether my mother will cause trouble, you might as well hope that Sheng Qinan will stop thinking about becoming a monk."

Father Sheng's face darkened: "Don't mention him to me. If he hadn't been the only son in my name, he would have been removed from my family tree long ago."

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music is heard, and the dancer's figure is delicate and soft, with lotus flowers growing every step, and the twists and turns of each step make people's hearts itch.

Prince Zhou Huan sat down and watched for a while, and was attracted by the woman in pink in the middle.

The Crown Princess next to her held back her anger. She clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves and let her nails dig into her flesh, feeling no pain at all.

She looked coldly at Zhou Huan, who was disappointed and had been hanging out with him all day long.

"How can you let her come up to dance? Aren't you embarrassed enough on this day?"

The singer who came back from the dirty area like Manchun Yuan had already aroused Emperor Hui's anger, but this singer's clever tricks made Zhou Huan lose his way.

On such an important day, it would be better for him to bring people out to show their faces.

Zhou Huan didn't like hearing this.

"Xiao Wu is gentle and considerate, but you, a poisonous woman, don't want to see her. She can dance better than the dancers in the palace. Why would it bother you if I let her come out and dance a song?"

The two of them sat close to each other, and their every move was in the eyes of Emperor Hui.

Before Emperor Hui could say anything, Eunuch Zhao, who was beside him, took a step forward and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, I dare you, this old slave, that pink dancer is the singer that the prince rushed you to bring back not long ago."

Emperor Hui looked grim at the moment.

The queen beside her also changed her expression.

After all, it was a royal scandal. He turned his head and stared at the queen with a smile.

"Look at the good son you trained."

The queen looked at the prince with hatred, and was very reluctant to scratch the little goblin's face.

"It's my concubine who neglected her duties."

"You are derelict in your duty! Look at him, does he look like a prince at all? He has no merit, no means, and no talent!"

The queen was about to speak but stopped.

She really wanted to ask, are you the same material?

Apart from other things, are there still a lot of people in the palace?

I saw the dancer's body as light as a swallow, her sleeves raised together, and she danced gracefully.

Emperor Hui's anger had mostly dissipated, and he became fascinated as he watched.

This waist is so soft that it can be folded into two pieces.

He watched the dancer step closer and closer. His cloudy eyes finally saw the dancer's appearance clearly.

Emperor Hui hesitated.

There was no other reason. The dancing girl looked very similar to Princess Jing who had passed away many years ago. Emperor Hui's silent and dirty thoughts could not be escaped at this moment.

His eyes burst out with joy. He saw the beautiful woman's charming smile, which attracted three of his seven souls.

But at this moment, the dancer took out a dagger from her sleeve. She looked as frail as before, and she faced Emperor Hui and stabbed him hard in the heart.

Just now, Eunuch Zhao bent down to pick up the handkerchief that fell on the ground a second ago.

The queen was sitting closest. She was so frightened that she was about to scream, but she covered her mouth with her hands and did not dare to speak.
