Chapter 65 Drunk
After the dinner party, Chenmu Palace returned to some lively voices.Because Ning Yan said he was hungry, Xia Zhi was the only one left in the room.

Xia Zhi sat in front of the tall desk, with a straight back and a leisurely appearance, Xia Zhi was able to calm down and practice calligraphy at this moment.

However, because his wrist was weak and he was not a person who was good at calligraphy in his previous life, the words on the paper on the ground looked a bit horrible.

However, what Xia Zhi wanted was to block out the chaotic voices in her heart and calm her mind.

The wind in the autumn night was a bit strong, and the windows and doors that were not locked were easily blown open.Xia Zhi didn't raise her head, she was still practicing her handwriting.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Han Poli blushing, stepping into the door with cold steps.Hong Xiu, who had been by the second prince's side before, followed behind.

When Han Poli's dark eyes saw Xia Zhi, he froze for a moment.But soon he looked away again, and seemed to be uncomfortable, picking a chair at random and sitting down.

Frowning tightly, Han Poli's voice was a little hoarse, "I'm fine, you go back first."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Hongxiu's face who happened to be carrying Xia Zhi on his back.It was quickly covered by her.Nodding obediently, Hong Xiu put down the things in his hand and planned to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he met Shang Xia Zhi's puzzled eyes.Hongxiu smiled lightly, standing under the candlelight with her pretty face, she was very moving. "During the dinner today, General Han drank two extra glasses. It was the second prince who ordered the servants to bring sober soup."

Worried that Xia Zhi would not believe it, Hongxiu hurriedly dodged, and let her see the bowl placed beside Han Poli.

Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything.

"Go out when you're done talking." Han Poli scolded Hongxiu impatiently. He was upset when someone whispered in his ear.

Hong Xiu didn't dare to speak again, bowed her body in panic, and hurriedly backed out.

Only Xia Zhi and Han Lili were left in the room.With the open door, gusts of autumn wind poured in, and Han Poli took a deep breath with some discomfort.

"Are you drunk?" Xia Zhi looked at Han Poli coldly, took out a silver needle from her sleeve, and planned to give him one too.

Seeing Xia Zhi's actions, Han Poli shook his head indifferently, "It's okay. It will be fine after drinking the hangover soup and then sleeping."

Since Han Poli refused, Xia Zhi didn't insist, and immediately took the silver needle back.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Han Poli picked up the hangover soup and drank it down in one gulp.Drying what was left on the corner of his lips, Han Poli said coldly, "Remember to take the dagger I gave you with you. In a few days, it will be Emperor Xi Cang's birthday."

Xia Zhi nodded, without Han Poli reminding her that she knew to carry self-defense with her.

"Also, don't get too close to Xiao Jue. He is a villain." Probably because of drinking, Han Poli talked a lot tonight.After finishing talking about Xiao Jue, he continued, "If you have to find Xiao Jue when something happens, you can go to Hongxiu first. She was someone I kept by Chang Jiu's side before, but for some reason, I transferred her to Xiao Jue's side."

When Xia Zhi heard Han Poli say that Xiao Jue was a villain, she was slightly startled.It seems that between Han Poli and Xiao Jue, there are indeed some stories that she does not know.

"I have suffered several losses at his hands before. If I hadn't chosen to leave the capital in the end, I would have been calculated by him so that there would be no bones left." Curved, "However, if I hadn't regarded him as a good friend back then, and had been betrayed by him in the end, I probably wouldn't be the Han Poli I am today. If I don't break, I won't stand, and I don't want to part with it."

Han Poli sat on the chair and muttered a lot, some messy words, and he didn't care whether the listeners could understand or not.After finishing speaking, he stood up shaking his body again, and walked towards the bed in a nonchalant manner.

Before Xia Zhi could recall his words, Han Poli fell asleep on the bed.

The ear-splitting snoring immediately rang out throughout the room.Xia Zhi looked at the person lying on the bed in surprise.

It's really drinking and telling the truth. Fortunately, no one heard what he just said.

……

The cool wind wants to blow away the somewhat dull air in the house.

Xiao Jue also sat at the table with a drunken face.Whenever he got drunk, he had a habit of drinking a lot of tea even at night.

And then a whole night of nightmares, a whole night of insomnia.

Ning Yan was led in by the red leader, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Jue drinking up the tea on the table one cup after another.A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, Ning Yan smiled and said, "It's a good thing I didn't go with you today, otherwise I would definitely have a drink."

His drinking capacity is the authentic three cups. If he also went to the dinner party, he would probably be carried back.However, the people in Xi Cang are really unbelievably enthusiastic. Even if they are helping the people of the enemy country, they still need to use wine to get these guests drunk.

"It's just a custom."

Xiao Jue nodded casually, in response to Ning Yan's words.He took the hangover soup brought by Hongxiu and drank it all in one gulp.He glanced at her sideways, "Give it to Ali too?"

"Yes, after the second prince gave orders, the slaves sent them over in person." Hong Xiu bowed her head and replied respectfully.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Jue asked Hong Xiu to step back first.Glancing at the bored Ning Yan again, Xiao Jue said in a low voice, "Have you passed the news to Young Master Jimo?"

Sitting in the main hall of the room with all the windows open, Xiao Jue could just let the cool breeze blow away the restlessness in his heart.

After drinking, the heat radiating from his body forced Xiao Jue to open his clothes to relieve the suffocation around his neck.

"Yeah." Ning Yan idly flipped his forehead, not knowing what he was thinking, and seemed to be answering Xiao Jue's words casually.

On the contrary, Xiao Jue was already used to Ning Yan's casualness. After drinking another cup of tea, Xiao Jue's eyes seemed to flash with eagerness, "Then did she tell me about the deal between me and her?"

"Deal?" Ning Yan immediately returned to his thoughts, straightened his back and looked at Xiao Jue.

"……nothing."

Xiao Jue tapped his head in frustration, he forgot that he hadn't told Ning Yan about that.Sure enough, he was already so drunk today that his caution was paralyzed.Closing his eyelids, Xiao Jue rubbed his temples with some discomfort, endured it for a long time, and finally gave Ning Yan an expulsion order.

There was a sudden coolness in the gentle voice, Xiao Jue said coldly, "You will also come with me for the birthday banquet in a few days. I also sent a message to Concubine Yu, if you don't want to die, don't act rashly. As for other things The person who delivered the letter here, you can deal with it."

Ning Yan is Xiao Jue's confidant for many years, and many things are handled by Ning Yan himself.Xiao Jue trusts him very much, and it can even be said that he has reached an attitude where he can almost leave everything to him.

Of course that's just almost.There are still some things that Xiao Jue cannot let Ning Yan know.

"Yes, I see." Ning Yan stood up lazily after hearing Xiao Jue's words.After stretching, Ning Yan went straight outside.

So Xiao Jue didn't see the calculating look in Ning Yan's eyes.

……

Next, Han Poli didn't attend the dinner that Xi Cang arranged for Dong Ling.He stayed in Chenmu Palace, or took Xia Zhi to the market in Xi Cang Kingdom, and soon, it was Emperor Xi Cang's birthday.

Even Dong Ling, a hostile country, sent people to congratulate, not to mention some other small countries attached to Xi Cang.Therefore, Emperor Xi Cang's birthday this year was held in a grand manner.

Although Xia Zhi was not in Dong Ling's list of envoys, Emperor Xi Cang still specially sent a post to invite her.

This is only one invitation post.

Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked at the gold-plated red post in her hand, and heard that it was written by a group of old ministers of Xi Cang who forced Emperor Xi Cang to write it.

It seems that the title of Jimo is still easy to use.Even though they have retired for hundreds of years, anyone with a little knowledge knows something about the Jimo clan.The purpose of posting this post is to see what the only descendant of her looks like.

Han Poli saw that Xia Zhi was staring at the invitation in his hand, with a strange smile on his lips, and asked suspiciously, "What's written on it?"

Xia Zhi handed the things in Han Poli's eyes, and there was a piece of paper sandwiched between the gold-plated invitations.The above words were obviously written by a young person, weak and feeble, but the content surprised people.

"Be careful of Concubine Yu. She will attack you on your birthday."

I don't know who sent this letter, but I know that Concubine Yu Gui wants to surprise her.

"I only had one face-to-face meeting with Concubine Yu Gui on the day I first arrived in Xi Cang, and I have no contact with her during the rest of the time. I have no grievances or enmities with her. Why do you think Concubine Yu Gui will attack me?" Xia Zhi was a little puzzled propped his head up.She looked at Han Poli's side face who was also contemplating, and felt depressed again. "A stranger wants to attack me, and it's on Emperor Xi Cang's birthday. Do you think this sounds ridiculous?"

On the birthday of the king of a country, every corner must be heavily guarded.Unless this Concubine Yugui has the power to overwhelm the sky in the palace, it is not easy to attack someone like her who was specially invited to the palace for a banquet.

Han Poli also felt that Xia Zhi's words made sense, but since this person sent a letter to remind her, he must have got some news.

His eyes darkened slightly, and Han Poli said coldly, "If you don't believe me, then throw this paper away. But you still have to prevent someone from doing anything wrong to you. You must keep that dagger hidden on your body. It might come in handy when it comes to emergencies.”

After finishing speaking, Han Poli took out a small chimney from his arms.Putting it in Xia Zhi's hand, Han Poli said sternly, "You must stay by my side on my birthday. If I happen to have something to do and walk away, you can use this to find me."

Even though Han Poli gave her many things for self-defense.But for some reason, Xia Zhi still faintly felt something was wrong.It is a strange thing that this letter will be sandwiched in the invitation.

From this point of view, it is really what Ning Yan said, and there will be a lot of fun.
