"When the banquet is over, come with me."

Xiao Qiran suppressed the discontent in his heart, he only cared about the big picture.

Knowing that Xiao Qiran had the intention to cure his father's throat, Gu Mingyan nodded his head, if he could see the handsome uncle carefully, it would not be bad.

It was a pity that the dancer in front of him had charming eyes like silk and a body like a snake. Even she could not take her eyes off it and was too lazy to look at anything else.

She didn't understand how to show mercy to the fairer sex. She only felt that this winter's dress was indeed very persistent, so she appreciated it a little more.

They could hear the chatter in their ears, as if no one was talking about the assassin anymore.

Just as she was lost in thought, she saw Eunuch Bai walk over slowly. She was anxiously thinking about how to deal with the big red man beside the emperor when she heard him whisper, "Eldest Miss has done a great service. The Emperor invites you to go to the side chamber."

Last time, although she was smashed by the little girl in front of her, she was after all lively and innocent. Thus, her voice became a bit softer.

Seeing him, Gu Mingyan's eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed as he slowly stood up.

"I'll go with you. It's just that I find it strange that Eunuch Bai is a popular person by the side of the emperor. How should I address him? Please consult him."

Xiao Qiran calmly followed as he pinched the white jade wine glass, nodding slightly towards Baizhu, "She knows about etiquette, but she doesn't know much about the ways of the world. I hope that Eunuch Bai can take care of her."

Do I not understand the ways of the world? I understand!

It's just that in my day, there was no father-in-law...

Gu Liuyan couldn't speak clearly, so he could only hold in his anger and glare at Xiao Zhiran.

Xiao Qiran just turned around and continued watching the song and dance, listening to the prince introducing the children of the various families, he recorded everything down.

Bai Su had been in the palace for a long time, and what he liked the most were Seventh Prince and Gu Mingyan's straightforward personality.

Along the way, he brought people to the gravel path in the backyard. Seeing that Gu Mingyan was not looking around, and was following quietly, he said softly: "Young miss has a noble identity, you should be the one walking in front."

"Alright." Gu Mingyan quickened her pace and walked in front of him, yet she looked back at him with expectation: "Do you still need me to pay attention to anything?"

"There's nothing else. I just think that Eldest Miss should know about etiquette. Even if it's the emperor's favorite, etiquette cannot be wasted."

However, he did not know that Gu Mingyan had walked some distance behind this servant, and was also probing him.

How could Gu Mingyan understand how to make such twists and turns? In this Shengan, she really did seem like a country bumpkin girl, but she was the one who started laughing instead.

"Thank you, Eunuch Bai, for your advice. Ming Yan, I've remembered it."

The corners of his eyes curled up, making him look cute and mischievous, causing Bai Yu to laugh along as well. After instructing the emperor with a few words of courtesy, he brought his men into the side hall, and upon seeing the handsome uncle in the bright yellow dragon robe sitting in the main seat, Gu Mingyan forced out words of praise as he bowed and bowed.

Looking at it from up close, he was still very handsome!

Gu Mingyan bowed and waited for a long time, but he did not wait for the two words to change. He raised his head slightly.

"Eldest Miss …"

Bai Yu hurriedly said in a low voice.

"No need for formalities."

The Emperor instead opened his mouth in a cold voice, and his face was gloomy and gloomy as if he was about to be enraged.

Gu Mingyan quickly straightened his body and wiped away the wrinkles on his clothes. Seeing that the white-haired eunuch was looking at him with a worried look, he lowered his head to look at his own clothes.

There was no mistake in the salutation, and her attire was neatly arranged. Where did the mistake come from?

The Emperor took a good look at her little movements and lightly coughed a few times. When he saw her raise her head to look at him, he continued, "What do you think about the assassination earlier?"

Why should I?

Gu Mingyan subconsciously tilted her head, and started to seriously think about it. Right now, she could be considered as someone who knew about the Mountain and River Diagram, so the emperor probably had a lot of probing intentions in calling her over, but this assassin's background was unknown, so she didn't know how complicated the power of Shengan was, nor did she know how to explain it.

After thinking for a moment, she lifted her head. "Ming Yan thinks this matter is fishy."

The Emperor raised his eyes, indicating that she should tell him what she knew.

"That person poisoned the wine, but he didn't put it in the cup on the spot. Instead, he placed it in the wine earlier and brought it over. That's why Ming Yan was able to see the inklings." If it wasn't for the fact that the people behind this were powerful, and that the assassination attempt on His Highness the Fourth Prince was just a front, and that the timing was before the emperor and Empress arrived, the goal might have been someone on par with his Highness the Fourth Prince. And the failure this time caused the assassination to fail, which was why there was no next step, and the real assassin might still be inside the palace, but there's no chance left for them to make a move, it's just hard to find. "

Gu Mingyan had smelled that faint scent when he left the eunuch's side, and no matter what, it did not seem like he was carrying the medicinal powder on him, nor was it a temporary dagger. Furthermore, the dagger in his bosom, was not a kitchen knife, for it to be brought along with the palace feast, it must be someone from behind, but with such a high profile, it was more likely to cause a ruckus.

He thought what he said was right, yet he saw the king's face suddenly darken as if he was holding back his anger. His voice rose up too.

"So you were the one who alerted me?"

Being questioned in such a way, Gu Mingyan did not have any reason to take the blame, he only had a cold expression.

"If it is really like that, then I will not alert them, but cut off their movements."

"If we alarm the snake with such a move, how can we catch the big fishes behind us?"

"The only person who would dare to come to the palace and assassinate us is a Death Soldier. Even if I did not do anything, if an adult of a higher status were to be injured in the future, the big fish would not be able to catch him."

As Gu Mingyan said this, he saw that the emperor's face was even worse. He realised that this was not a society governed by the rule of law, and quickly added on, "I do not disagree with your words, I am just anxious to defend myself. Speaking of which, it's possible that Ming Yan's guess is wrong. If the Emperor's actions are really interrupted by someone alerting him, then Ming Yan will be punished. "

Gu Mingyan bent down and did not dare to say anymore, and immediately felt that he could not keep his little life.

A challenge from the same emperor was far more dangerous than a challenge from one's own elders!

Bai Yu looked anxiously between the Emperor and Gu Mingyan, and after a long while, he heard the Emperor speak up again.

"Forget it, you can go find Qi Ran."

Before Gu Mingyan could react, she was dragged out by Bai Yu and a group of eunuchs.

Bewildered, Bai Zhen wiped away the bean-sized sweat on his forehead in the middle of winter and became even more baffled. "I said I've received my punishment, is the emperor still angry with me?"

Bai Yu almost did not catch his breath, seeing how Gu Mingyan had explained everything clearly just now, and was now in a daze, he sighed a few times, "Eldest Miss … It would be best for you to learn more from His Highness Seventh Prince. "

"Many thanks to Eunuch Bai for his good intentions, but in Ming Yan's opinion, the emperor is a man of his word. It would be better to lie than to speak lies as quickly as possible."

Don't let me be your daughter-in-law.

The little scheme in Gu Mingyan's heart cracked loudly.

This young miss was not simple at all, but she was such an intelligent person that she was able to go further.
