Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 271 Angry Xiao Yichen

After the morning court session ended, Xiao Yichen came forward to request to resign from his official position, stating that he would leave Dayan and return to Northern Qi in the afternoon.

Emperor Suwen had his own independent intelligence system. He couldn't help feeling a little unhappy when he recalled that the Crown Prince of Northern Qi arrived in Kyoto quietly and only revealed his identity later.

So, Emperor Suwen tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Prince of Northern Qi, you have only been here for a short time. There are many interesting places in the capital of Great Yan, and perhaps you have not had time to visit them yet.

I can arrange for my sons to accompany you to have fun. There is no need to rush back to Northern Qi. You may as well stay for ten days or half a month to enjoy the sights. There is no need to rush. "

Xiao Yichen had never expected that Emperor Suwen would try to keep him, and his words revealed his reluctance to leave. Xiao Yichen knew that it would not be easy to leave the capital of Yan Dynasty this time.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I really miss my father and mother. Moreover, I just received a letter, informing me that my father is in poor health, and summoning me to return to the country immediately to serve him. Therefore, Your Majesty, please help me."

Xiao Yichen used the Northern Qi Emperor as an excuse, hoping to convince Emperor Suwen to stop making things difficult for him.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I was afraid that after you returned, you would say that we in Dayan did not take good care of you. What do you think, my dear ministers?" Emperor Suwen said with a forced smile.

Each of the ministers was very shrewd. They immediately understood Emperor Suwen's intention and stood up to make trouble.

"Your Majesty is right. Your Highness should stay here for a few more days to get a good feel for the customs and culture of Dayan!"

"Yes, yes. In two days it will be the third day of March. Every year at this time, a grand spring poetry festival is held. It would be such a pity if Your Highness missed it!"

The ministers were talking at once, and Xiao Yichen had no reason to refuse, and he didn't even have a chance to interrupt. These ministers seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and spoke one after another, not giving Xiao Yichen any room to refute.

They have only one goal: to do everything they can to keep Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen cursed secretly in his heart, but he had to put on a smile on the surface, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.

He was extremely anxious and kept winking at Luo Shoufu, hoping that he could come out to help him out. However, Luo Shoufu pretended not to see it and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Suwen looked at this scene and became more and more happy. He coughed lightly, and the ministers immediately quieted down and waited quietly for Emperor Suwen to speak.

"Prince, you see everyone likes you very much. The palace is preparing a farewell banquet tonight, you must come. No matter what, this farewell banquet must be held. You are the crown prince of a country, and you have come to my Great Yan Dynasty. How can my Great Yan lose in etiquette? Officials above the fifth rank must attend tonight. The court is adjourned." After saying this, Emperor Suwen left immediately.

The ministers were left confused, including Xiao Yichen.

The third prince thought of Xiao Yichen's method of poisoning himself, and looked at Xiao Yichen like a venomous snake and said.

"Your Highness, let me accompany you for the tour. Your fourth brother can come along." The third and fourth princes naturally knew what Emperor Suwen meant.

"Third brother, let's go to the Royal Academy. I heard that there is a debate today. Your Highness, please come in," said the Fourth Prince like a shrewd man.

"My two princes, I have important things to do, so I won't bother you to accompany me. Let's have a drink together at the farewell banquet tonight." Xiao Yichen fled from the palace without waiting for the two princes to reply.

Emperor Suwen was in a good mood and went to the Queen's palace to tell her that he would arrange a farewell banquet tonight. He also made love with the Queen in broad daylight, which was unprecedented. The Queen blushed and was as happy as a child.

In the palace, Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi were boredly discussing where to go for fun in the future. Now that the weather was getting warmer, the two of them planned to live in Sanmianshan for a while and check out the situation there.

Yan Lingxi arrived and saw a handsome man in white in the garden of the palace. Although he was just a background figure, he deeply attracted Yan Lingxi. Jing Zichu originally thought that the flowers in the garden were very beautiful and wanted to pick some to give to Yun Yuxi, and by the way, ask Yun Yuxi for some silver and land in the south of the city.

Yan Lingxi was stunned. Every movement of Jing Zichu was so graceful. His appearance was so stunning and he looked like a handsome man. It was not until her personal maid reminded her that she reacted. However, her blushing face and pounding heart betrayed her. She fell.

At this moment, Jing Zichu was completely unaware that his spring was about to arrive. On the other side, Yan Lingxi was worried that Jing Zichu would notice something unusual, so she quickly left towards Nuanyu Pavilion with her personal maid.

At the same time, Yun Yuxi learned an important piece of information from Yan Wuque: Xiao Yichen cannot drink a lot. It happened that there was news in the palace that a palace banquet would be held tonight. So, she came up with a plan to play a trick on Xiao Yichen, and asked Yan Wuque to find a way to remind the emperor to let the ministers give Xiao Yichen more wine.

Yan Wuque felt helpless in the face of this request, but he still agreed to Yun Yuxi's request and passed the message through the spies in the palace. Finally, a note successfully appeared on the emperor's desk.

When the emperor returned to Longwu Hall with a radiant look on his face and prepared to review the memorials, he saw the note on the table at a glance. The handwriting on the note was crooked, and it clearly read "Xiao Yichen cannot drink alcohol" in large characters.

Emperor Suwen smiled slightly, looking at the unique handwriting. He knew in his heart that the person who could have such ability to send the note here could not be anyone else except Yan Wuque. However, he did not delve into the matter, but continued to devote himself to the busy government affairs.

When Xiao Yichen returned to Sifang Pavilion, he was so angry that he smashed everything in the room. He had never felt so aggrieved before. He knew that the dog emperor must be taking revenge on him for not informing him in advance when he came to Yan. Now that he wanted to leave, he deliberately delayed his departure.

"Chen'er, what's wrong? You're so angry as soon as you come back. Who made you angry? What happened?" Wu Xi asked with concern.

Xiao Yichen concealed nothing and told everyone about the palace, his eyes spitting fire.

"Okay. You have to go to the farewell banquet, so don't drink too much. Be careful. We will leave tomorrow and we will be back to Northern Qi soon. We can't delay any longer."

"Godfather, everything has been arranged for today. We must leave tomorrow at the latest. Father's health is getting worse and worse. If he dies suddenly, it will be bad for me," Xiao Yichen asked.

"Well, I'll accompany you to the palace banquet tonight," Wu Xi said softly.

Xiao Yichen nodded.
