Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 239 Emergencies

"Sweet and sweet, weak wine?" Xiao Li muttered something, and when he heard the word "Queen", he suddenly raised his head, "You said, the envoy and the Empress are on good terms, and Huangfu Haobo personally came to remind me that it might be a grand banquet. Bar?"

Huangfu Haobo was also taken aback, and nodded slightly.

"Anyway, be careful."

Xiao Li looked at Huangfu Haotian's firm eyebrows and nodded.

After a few days of peace, Huangfu Haobo and Xiao Li became familiar with each other day by day, and there was no longer any strangeness in the past. Xiao Li still did not give up the chance to find the antidote, but the miracle doctor had no news anymore, so he had to give up.

But at first he thought it would be so peaceful, but he didn't expect Xiao Li to be invited into the palace on the second day when the envoy from the chieftain came.

In addition to announcing that a huge wine appreciation event will be held in the inner city of the capital three days later, many nobles will appreciate this rare item. At the same time, it is also different from previous years.

But such a rare and expensive wine is afraid of being stared at by people from all walks of life. The empress's suggestion to the emperor to let some other important officials guard it is a big deal, and the big man who goes to the battlefield is not thoughtful, so this honor And the arduous task naturally fell on Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Aiqing, you are fully responsible for this fine wine!" The emperor smiled and asked the chief eunuch to hand a box to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li looked up, and it turned out to be a brown bottle. Looking at the vaguely familiar English, Xiao Li was dumbfounded.

This this……

wine!

No wonder the empress likes it.

In the past, wine appreciation parties were also held in the palace, but this time...

There must be a reason.

Xiao Li was a little at a loss looking at the box handed over, and stuttered in panic: "I...I can't..."

"I believe in you. Little Aiqing Xiao Li has given me many surprises all this time, and this event is none other than you!" The emperor looked at Xiao Li's flushed little face and smiled.

Xiao Li lowered his head and pondered for a while, then took the heavy box: "Thank you, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will do my best!"

Back in the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Li recalled that in modern times, he once stole a bottle of this kind of wine. At that time, the most expensive wine in the world in 1995 was presented at the commercial appreciation meeting.

This wine is almost black in color, with a strong aroma of cassis, fruity and thick. More than 1000 years of gestation and commercial hype have caused the original price of hundreds of thousands to soar to tens of millions.

After reading the materials, Xiao Li understood that the purpose of this exhibition was nothing more than to hype it up again and increase its commercial use. Although this was not Xiao Li's favorite method, she understood that in today's money world, even if it is Noble cultures will also compromise when exposed to money.

And that snatching was just an innocuous joke made by the seller on the opponent, and the purpose was also to deter them.

However, Xiao Li took a closer look at this kind of wine at the appreciation meeting, and when he saw it again after traveling this time, his heart was full of ups and downs.

"I heard that the idea this time is the queen." Huangfu Haotian reminded from the side.

"You mean?" Xiao Li's eyes widened.

"Yes, I have to suspect that she wants to take this opportunity to make you resign."

"But no matter what, I will definitely let her see that I am not so easy to mess with."

Xiao Li's angry look turned cute in Huangfu Haotian's eyes.

Huangfu Haotian had a faint smile on his lips, and wanted to talk, but seeing Xiao Li's serious look, he refused to interrupt such a peaceful moment.

"Qingfeng, go and see when the envoy's carriage from the restaurant will arrive. Xiao Li probably has already left, so you are ready to pick it up anytime!" Huangfu Haotian looked at Xiao Li's closed door and said.

Qingfeng frowned when he received Huangfu Haotian's task: "The prince actually asked me to pick up such an important person, so you are not afraid that I will steal that bottle of priceless wine halfway! Besides, it is the princess, the prince Won't you pick it up yourself?"

Although the two of them respected each other like guests all day long, Qingfeng clearly felt the difference between the master and Xiao Li these days.

In the past, it was the trend that the princess wanted the moon in the sky, and the prince could think of ways to go to the sky!

"Haha! That's not right. The ready-made gimmicks will be spread in our Daling Country for free. At that time, you Qingfeng will be a formidable character!" Huangfu Haotian didn't seem to take the sky-high price of wine seriously.

After Xiao Li was arranged to go to the restaurant to pick up the envoy from the Emirates, she hurried to the exhibition site, and immediately began to make arrangements.

From the layout of the venue to the appointment of guards, the people Huangfu Haotian sent to her from the Prince's Mansion seemed inexperienced and could not help her at all. Besides, there were many people on the venue, and it was still a mess after a busy morning.

But according to the emperor, the time for the time exhibition is the day after tomorrow, and they seem to have no time left.

But fortunately, Xiao Li already had rigorous and professional management training in modern times, so he insisted on managing this group of people submissively.

One day later, there was still half a day before the wine appreciation party. After nervous arrangements, the wine appreciation party started as scheduled. A big stage was erected in the inner city of Ruoda, which was magnificently arranged.

The priceless fine wine is placed on a gold utensil, and the center and surroundings are covered with pearls, which is extremely luxurious.

At the beginning of preparations for the wine appreciation party, a large group of people rushed to the front, and the scene began to get out of control.

Xiao Li frowned, and ordered to go down and look after those common people, so as not to mix in criminals.

In the evening, all the lights in the street were turned on, Xiao Li was told that the emperor and empress were coming soon, so he quickly ordered to open the facilities of the venue.

Xiao Li walked up to the stage, stood in front of the stage covered with red silk and began to render the scene, looking at the dark crowd in front of her, Xiao Li felt inexplicably flustered.

There was a hint of eagerness in his gaze, Huangfu Haotian hadn't come yet...

Xiao Li lightly tapped the marigold filled with fine nectar with her fingers, her eyes sparkled.

"fine……"

However, at this moment, all the candlelight in the audience suddenly went out with a pop, even the lanterns hanging on the tall poles went out all of a sudden, Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, she clearly felt the sound of a foreign object piercing through the air. After a burst of panic, everyone exclaimed, waiting for the guards to light up the candlestick lanterns, but the bottle of expensive red wine on the golden cup was not easy to fly away...

"It's gone!" Someone in the crowd pointed to the empty marigold, and when they saw that it was empty, they suddenly boiled.

"Who is stealing wine and doing it?"

"That wine is sold at a sky-high price, priceless! I heard that the empress really likes it."

"Isn't it Mu Qingyang, the gangster who has made a lot of noise recently?"

"How could Mu Qingyang steal this thing!"

Listening to the discussion below, Xiao Li felt a little vain on the soles of her feet.

Someone was able to steal the fine wine without knowing it. It seems that this queen has really lost her money.

The palace guards quickly arrived at the venue and checked everyone in the venue. Xiao Li also acted in a timely manner as if his soul, which had already been frightened, had drifted away somewhere, and stood there with a pale face in a daze.

The priceless wine disappeared in an instant, and she, the main person in charge, was the first to become the object of suspicion. Wine is not like gold, silver and jewelry. People who are not knowledgeable can't really analyze its true value.
