Chapter 259
The emperor's eyes fell on Concubine Xian from the beginning to the end, even though he was talking to Li Jing, he didn't give him half of his eyes.

Li Jing rolled her eyes fiercely from the bottom of her heart, the emperor's method was really incomprehensible.

Although the guard who just carried out the execution was beating him with a wooden stick, he only felt slight pain. It can be said that he was beaten more than [-] times, and at most it was only a little bruised.

Li Jing couldn't see through the emperor, did he want to attract the attention of the concubine Xian?Thinking of the appearance of Concubine Xian angrily leaving, he laughed mockingly in his heart, he didn't know whether to praise the emperor for his great wisdom, or laugh at him for not being able to understand women's hearts.

He couldn't see through the emperor, did he really care about Concubine Xian?On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, would he still order someone to raid the palace?

Li Jing's heart was filled with anticipation, if the emperor showed mercy, he would be able to stick to this shallow father-son relationship.

If not, no wonder he stood by and watched.

When Li Jing returned to Duke Liu's mansion, Cui Yuexi checked his body up and down, and was relieved to make sure that he hadn't hurt his vitals.

Seeing Cui Yuexi's appearance like this, Li Jing could not help but groan while supporting his waist.

"Eh..." Cui Yuexi suddenly became nervous, and anxiously went to untie his coat, knowing that when she saw the bruise on his naked back, her eyes were filled with deep distress.

"How can the emperor do it? You are his own son." Cui Yuexi couldn't help but feel aroused when she thought that the previous emperor copied Li Jing's palace. , it is not good to say now.

Cui Yuexi asked Jiaojiao to bring the ointment for promoting blood circulation and dispelling stasis, and gently applied it on Li Jing's bruised area. The two of them were silent, thinking about the ransacking of the house in their hearts. After a long time, Cui Yuexi saw that it was too late, so he left and went back Room.

Time flies, and it will be Mid-Autumn Festival in ten days. The Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom and Cui Jinchao still have no intention of going back. They obviously want to take advantage of the chaos in the capital and do something about it.

The Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom seems to be at peace in the station, but his every move secretly is under Li Jing's surveillance.

In order to show the friendship of the landlord, Li Jing ordered people to send invitations to the crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom, and he entertained their brothers and sisters in the palace.

Cui Jinchao couldn't figure out Li Jing's intentions, knowing that it was a Hongmen banquet, he persuaded the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom not to attend the banquet.

The crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom looked at Cui Jinchao with cold eyes. Compared to Cui Yuexi, this woman is extremely stupid. If they don't go to the banquet, it will be Li Jing's face and will only arouse Li Jing's suspicion.

In any case, they must go to this banquet, not only to go but also to go with confidence, the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom told Cui Jinchao.

"Be careful when you arrive at the palace. If Cui Jinchao shows any signs of weakness, he will definitely not let you go when he comes back."

At dusk, the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom took Cui Jinchao to the palace, followed their carriage, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Li Jing received the news that the prince of Haoyue Kingdom had set off, and ordered Xingchuan to confirm how things were going.

Soon I received a reply from Xingchuan.

"Master, everything is ready." Li Jing ordered the housekeeper to wait for the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom and Cui Jinchao at the gate of the mansion, while he waited with Cui Yuexi in the hall.

Soon the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom and Cui Jinchao came to the palace, got off the carriage and did not see Li Jing and Cui Yuexi, their expressions were ugly.

The steward stepped forward steadily, bowed and said, "This slave is the steward of the fourth prince's residence. By the order of my master, I am here to welcome the crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom and Princess Changle. Please invite the prince and princess."

Cui Jinchao couldn't help being furious, "It is said that Dayuan is a state of etiquette, especially the fourth prince who pays attention to etiquette the most. My brother is the future heir of Haoyue Kingdom. As an ally, he should greet him in person, right?"

The butler showed a decent smile, "Princess Changle is serious, my master has important matters to deal with, if there is any negligence, please forgive me." The butler mocked Cui Jinchao unreasonably.

The Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom raised his eyebrows, but did not say anything. Cui Jinchao was irritated, and was unable to calm down for a while, but he wanted to say something, and the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom cast a look at her.

Cui Jinchao immediately shut up, and obediently retreated behind the crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom.

The Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom had a warm smile on his face, and nothing unusual could be seen, "Please ask the housekeeper to lead the way."

The butler made a gesture of invitation, and led the way ahead, and the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom and Cui Jinchao entered the mansion together.

The Prince of Haoyue Kingdom looked at the layout of the mansion and smiled indifferently. The entire palace is very large, with regular layout and orderly layout. There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions with cornices and red tiles, nine winding corridors, intertwined, twists and turns, and there are all kinds of precious gardens. The flowers and plants fully embody the royal family's glorious and rich demeanor and the folk's elegant and simple charm. They pass through the corridor to the living room inside.

Li Jing and Cui Yuexi sat at the main seats in the living room, and saw the housekeeper bringing the Haoyue Crown Prince in.

Li Jing got up to greet him, "Excuse me, I just had an important matter to deal with, so I sent a butler to greet him, and I hope the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom doesn't mind."

The Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom smiled lightly, "Fourth Prince, you are too worried, you and I are not the ones bound by this red tape."

Cui Yuexi also came to Li Jing's side and saluted calmly, "I have seen His Royal Highness, and I have seen the princess."

A trace of hatred flowed in Cui Jinchao's eyes, but she quickly covered it up with a decent smile on her face, "Miss Cui, don't be too polite."

Although Cui Jinchao concealed it quickly, Cui Yuexi saw the resentment in her eyes, Cui Yuexi squinted and smiled at Cui Jinchao.

Seeing Cui Yuexi's expression, Cui Jinchao couldn't help but feel a chill down his back. Does this damned woman want to play any tricks?

Even so, she always looked at Cui Yuexi with a decent smirk on her face, at least in terms of aura, she must not lose.

When the eyes of the two were meeting, the butler appeared at the right time, "The banquet is ready for Your Highness."

"Okay, Your Royal Highness, Princess, please move to the dining hall." After Li Jing finished speaking, he took Cui Yuexi to lead the way, and the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom followed closely behind with Cui Jinchao.

A group of people came to the dining hall, where tea cups and snacks were already placed, and the four sat down one after another.After drinking some tea and exchanging pleasantries, Li Jing glanced at the housekeeper.

The butler immediately ordered the dishes to be served, and as the servants came in one after another, a table of sumptuous dishes was quickly served, and Li Jing greeted the crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom for dinner.

Cui Yuexi winked at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper retreated in time, when an older servant came in with a bowl of soup.

This servant caught Cui Jinchao's attention as soon as he entered, Cui Jinchao felt that this servant looked a bit like Yang Shi, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
