Chapter 23 Banquet Assassin
As night fell, the banquet was a lively scene.

Chu Yaoyao stared at the food in front of her and drooled.

[Wow, what a big roast duck, sucking, sucking, isn’t it so fragrant? 】

【I want to eat it. 】

Chu Yaoyao touched her growling stomach, took out a candy from her purse and stuffed it into her mouth.

[Hey, if my father doesn’t come, we can’t have a dinner. 】

Emperor Qixuan heard these words as soon as he entered the room.

The teeth haven’t grown in yet.

Have a banquet?
Think beautiful!
He picked up Yaoyao and said, "Let's go and sit with our father."

"Mother concubine!"

[No, no, no, I want to be with my mother and concubine. 】

Chu Yaoyao tried her best to kick her calves, but she was small and weak, so she was suppressed by Emperor Qi Xuan's force in just a few clicks.

When the ministers saw this, they immediately started talking.

"That must be Princess Yaoyao. She seems to be quite favored by the emperor."

"The emperor only has one princess like this, so of course she will be favored."

"Speaking of the emperor's heirs, there are still a few..."

……

"Today's banquet is to welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace. You can do whatever you want."

After Emperor Qixuan finished speaking, the banquet officially began.

The music sounded, and a group of dancers entered the stage and danced gracefully.

Looking at the roasted chicken, Chu Yaoyao swallowed her saliva, rolled her eyes, and realized that her father had not noticed her, so she quietly extended her little hand.

He quickly pulled off a chicken leg and was about to stuff it into his mouth when a big hand snatched it away.

Chu Yaoyao looked over angrily, her big eyes full of accusations.

"Bad guy!"

[Tyrant father! Bastard! 】

Scold me?
Emperor Qi Xuan placed the chicken drumstick in front of Yaoyao's nose, shook it a few times, then put it to his mouth and took a bite.

"Well, today's roast chicken is good."

【So angry! 】

Chu Yaoyao jumped off the chair angrily and ran to the Queen Mother.

"Royal grandmother, my father is evil and won't give me seven."

In fact, she regretted it after she complained.

I was really pissed off. As an adult, she would go to her parents if she couldn't win. It was so embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Chu Yaoyao buried her head in the Queen Mother's arms.

The Queen Mother looked at her little face that was flushed with anger, touched her little head distressedly, and waved her hand, "Don't be afraid, he won't give it to me, the Queen Mother will give it to me!"

Emperor Qi Xuan said disapprovingly, "Mother, Yaoyao is still young and cannot eat these."

He turned around and shouted, "Su Maowen, hurry up and get your little princess's food out."

Su Maowen leaned over and took out a snack box.

Chu Yaoyao stretched her neck and looked over.

There are two layers, and the top is a bowl of soft minced meat porridge.

[Hmph, you want to send me porridge again! 】

The lower floor was opened, Emperor Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows, and took out a small plate from inside.

"Oh, it seems that this roasted sweet potato can only be enjoyed by me."

Chu Yaoyao immediately jumped down from the Empress Dowager's arms.

【Roasted sweet potato! 】

Deng Deng Deng ran over.

[Put down that piece of roasted sweet potato and let me do it! 】

Chu Yaoyao was about to grab it and chew it, but Emperor Qixuan raised his hand to avoid it.

【What's the meaning?】

Seeing her expression of 'Are you going to fight with me?', Emperor Qixuan said helplessly:
"Let Su Maowen feed you."

Emperor Qi Xuan shook his head inwardly when he thought of Yaoyao's last act of boldness.

In public, as a dignified princess, it is better to pay attention to your image.

Su Maowen picked up a piece with a spoon, and Chu Yaoyao smiled at him with a grin, "Thank you Suzhuangguan."

"Hey, little princess, don't say that. This is what a slave should do."

Hearing that thank you, Emperor Qi Xuan felt unbalanced.

The food was obviously prepared by me.

Chu Yaoyao was very satisfied with eating one bite after another. Suddenly, her index finger felt slightly hot, and a few lines of small words appeared in front of her eyes.

[What’s wrong, Daddy’s wine is poisonous! 】 Emperor Qixuan was about to drink. When he heard these words, he immediately put down his wine glass.

"What are these slaves doing? Serving this wine tepid?"

Chu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

[Fortunately, Daddy Zha has the habit of drinking warm wine, otherwise he would have been poisoned. 】

[It’s really strange, it’s such a hot summer, and you still have to drink warm wine...Hey, it seems to be true. 】

Emperor Qixuan:......

You can’t get past this word, right?

"This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

All the palace people knelt down to apologize.

【It turns out to be a small road! Could it be that because of Cui'er's death, he had a grudge against his scumbag father? 】

Small road?
Emperor Qixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to Xiaoluzi with a cold gaze.

Su Maowen, who was kneeling on the ground, found it strange that the emperor didn't have the habit of warming wine except in winter?
Could it be that in the wine... Su Maowen's eyelids jumped up.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Luzi who looked panicked.

This damn thing is really going to kill him!

"Go down and reheat the pot!"

Emperor Qi Xuan glanced at Su Maowen calmly and said meaningfully, "Go and do it yourself."

Su Maowen suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Was the Emperor... suspicious of him?
Su Maowen knew that the emperor was asking him to personally search for evidence of guilt and catch Xiaoluzi with his own hands to prove his innocence.

He also knew that this was his only chance to clear his suspicions.

"The slave obeys the order."

With that said, Su Maowen led Xiao Luzi and several palace people down.

"Emperor?" There was a lot of movement here, and the Queen Mother looked over with concern.

Emperor Qixuan shook his head slightly and said, "If the Queen is tired, she might as well go back to Ci'an Palace first."

Who knows if other meals were poisoned?
It would be better to end this banquet as soon as possible.

On the other side, after the banquet, Su Maowen asked a few young eunuchs to seize the path.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Don't call us master! We don't have a rebellious apprentice like you!"

After that, let someone search Xiaoluzi.

But nothing was found.

"Lock him up first!"

At the banquet, the singing and dancing had ended, and a group of dancers came forward to salute.

System: Host, something is wrong. The dancer on the far right seems...

Just then, something unexpected happened.

A dancing girl pulled out a soft sword from her waist and rushed towards Emperor Qi Xuan.

"what!"

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"Here comes someone! Escort! Escort!"

……

There were screams and shouts at the scene.

Emperor Qi Xuan looked at the oncoming sword and picked up Yaoyao beside him. While dodging to the side, he raised his leg and kicked the assassin away.

The assassin who was kicked away knocked over several tables and fell to the ground, where he was surrounded by the imperial guardsmen who came over.

The female assassin stared at Emperor Qi Xuan fiercely and moved her mouth.

"No, she's going to take poison!"

But the assassin did not succeed, and his jaw was removed by the imperial guard on the side.

The right commander of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "I'm waiting for help to come too late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qixuan asked him to stand up, "I remember that you are Zhao Jingwu's son."

Zhao Chengwen did not expect that the emperor would remember him, so he immediately knelt down again excitedly, "Zhao Chengwen meets the emperor."

Emperor Qixuan nodded, "Get up."

【Zhao Chengwen? Wasn't that the vanguard who later killed countless enemies on the battlefield and annihilated several enemy troops by himself? 】

When Emperor Qi Xuan heard this, he looked at Zhao Chengwen with great interest. He didn't expect that the seemingly gentle man was actually a general.

Staying in the Royal Guards would be a derogation of one's talents.

[It is a pity that such a heroic figure died in the persecution of traitorous ministers. 】

Emperor Qixuan was so angry that everyone he could use was killed. How could Daqi survive?
The next moment, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

"Father!"
