Tonight, the Imperial Palace was very lively. For the first time, the ban was lifted, which meant that the banquet could go on very, very late.
Yonghe Palace and Fengming Hall were actually two adjacent palaces, but they were separated from each other, so the situation on the other side could not be seen.
Li Yi and Ruyi were led by two eunuchs from the palace gate. They had never seen the Imperial Palace so lively. From time to time, eunuchs would lead men and women to pass by, and the number of patrolling guards in the Imperial Palace was much higher than usual.
The Imperial Palace was different from other places, where one could bring a large number of maids and guards, especially on a special occasion like tonight. Therefore, only Li Yi and Ruyi entered the Imperial Palace, while Miss.Liu and Xiao Huan stayed at home.
The two did not know any other nobles, so it was actually a little awkward on such an occasion. This was also one of the reasons why Li Yi was unwilling to attend other people's banquets, even if it was the old Emperor's invitation.
"That place is the Food Bureau, which is responsible for the meals in the Imperial Palace. Almost all the dishes that can't be bought outside can be found there." Li Yi introduced casually to Ruyi.
The Food Bureau was very busy that night, and one could see servants coming in and out at every moment. It was not easy to complete hundreds of banquets.
From the Food Bureau to Yonghe Palace, there was almost a road formed by the servants of the Imperial Palace.
At the end of the road, when the two were about to enter Yonghe Palace and Fengming Hall respectively, Li Yi suddenly felt something. He raised his head and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from not far away.
"What a coincidence, Li Xianzi. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Qin Yu slowly walked over with a smile on his face.
Several young men followed behind him. When they saw Li Yi, their expressions changed slightly.
What happened in the King of Shu's Mansion last night was still fresh in their minds. Young Duke Qin was killed by Li Xianzi. They did not expect that they would meet again after only one day. It was really a case of enemies meeting each other.
Looking at Qin Yu's happy face, as if he could not suppress the joy of meeting an old friend, Li Yi began to admire him a little.
A madman was indeed a madman. If it was a normal person, even if they didn't fight on the spot, they wouldn't have such a completely opposite attitude.
Li Yi also had a smile on his face and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that I would have such a deep fate with Young Duke Qin."
Let alone Qin Yu, even the young men behind him couldn't help but be startled when they heard this.
Young Duke Qin had almost chopped off his hand, and he had also made Young Duke Qin suffer a lot. When the two of them met, shouldn't it be tit-for-tat? Shouldn't one of them die?
How could it be related to fate?
Madman Qin was Madman Qin. It was normal for him to do things that were beyond common sense. But what about Li Xianzi?
Could it be that he was admitting defeat?
If he really wanted to give in, then he was gravely mistaken. When had those who had offended Young Duke Qin ever had a good ending? How could the enmity be resolved just by admitting defeat?
"Yes, fate is really deep …" Qin Yu murmured. When he saw the woman standing beside Li Yi, a trace of amazement flashed through his eyes. After a moment of daze, the smile on his face became even more brilliant.
"Could this be Madam Li?" The expression on his face was a little surprised, but it was just right. It seemed normal, but those who knew him knew what this expression meant.
The young men looked at each other and were slightly moved. It was obvious that Young Duke Qin had taken a fancy to Madam Li. Moreover, with his "relationship" with Li Xianzi, they were afraid that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
With his personality, if he were to do something in secret, not even Prince Li Xuan would be able to stop him.
Qin Yu walked two steps closer to Li Yi and patted him on the shoulder. With a smile on his face, he whispered in his ear, "Madam Li Xianzi is really good …"
Although he was smiling, his voice was incomparably cold.
The young men did not know what he said and looked slightly puzzled. Ruyi glanced at Qin Yu. Her expression did not change, but her eyes widened and a terrifying aura emerged.
Li Yi also smiled. This smile was somewhat inexplicable in the eyes of the young men, but in Qin Yu's eyes, it gave him a bad feeling.
Just as this thought arose in his mind, he saw that the smile suddenly disappeared and then became incomparably cold. An afterimage rapidly enlarged in Qin Yu's eyes. The next moment, it fell on his face. The severe pain instantly drowned his consciousness. Qin Yu staggered and fell to the ground.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you insult His Majesty!" Li Yi looked at Qin Yu and said coldly.
This slap came so suddenly that the young men behind Qin Yu were dumbfounded.
What the hell was going on? Why did it suddenly involve insulting His Majesty?
Could it be that what Young Duke Qin said in that man's ear was insulting His Majesty?
That was impossible!
No matter how crazy Madman Qin was, he would never dare to do such a disgraceful thing …
"Bah!"
Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that a few teeth in his mouth had loosened. Half of his face had lost feeling and seemed to have swollen.
He supported his body and slowly stood up. He could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He stood there and looked at Li Yi without any expression. Only a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He did not expect that the other party would dare to make a move in the palace under the watchful eyes of the public.
Moreover, even if he had some skills, he had to admit that he could not have avoided that slap.
"Young Duke!" Several young men hurriedly ran to Qin Yu's side. Seeing that half of his face was swollen like a pig's head, they immediately turned around and pointed at Li Yi. They shouted angrily, "How dare you commit murder in the palace. Guards, guards!"
There would be a team of guards patrolling the palace at regular intervals. In reality, before the young man shouted, a team of guards had already trotted over.
The palace was originally an important place. Tonight was a special time, so there could not be any trouble. The leader of the guards took out his weapon and a dozen people immediately surrounded the place.
"Quick, this person intends to assassinate Young Duke Qin. Quickly arrest him!" Before the leader of the guards could speak, a young man pointed at Li Yi and shouted.
The leader of the guards naturally did not believe that it was an assassination. No one dared to do so in the palace. Moreover, the person he pointed at did not even have a weapon. As for Young Duke Qin … Hiss, that slap was really ruthless!
It was only a fight between the playboys. This was very normal. The leader of the guards quickly relaxed.
"What happened?" The next moment, he asked with a serious face.
He was a palace guard. Even if the other party was the young duke, he did not need to care. If the conflict between the two could not be resolved, he would simply arrest them and leave them for His Majesty to deal with.
"Didn't you see? He wants to assassinate Young Duke Qin. Quickly arrest him!" The people around Qin Yu were also children of influential families. Although their families could not compare to the Qin family, to be able to appear here, they would not be too inferior. When facing the leader of the guards, they were completely bossy and bossy.
"Qin Yu publicly insulted His Majesty. Does he not deserve to be beaten?" Li Yi looked at the few people and said lightly.
"Nonsense. When did the young duke insult His Majesty?"
"Why did we not hear it?"
"You are simply framing him!"
…
…
Hearing this, the leader of the guards glanced at Li Yi. He thought that this person was not someone to be trifled with. If this crime of great disrespect was carried out, not only would Young Duke Qin's beating be in vain, there might be other troubles.
However, although Young Duke Qin was notorious, he still had a relationship with Prime Minister Qin. Even the leader of the guards did not want to offend him too much. With a serious face, he was about to speak to another young man when the young man took out a token from his sleeve and waved it in front of the leader's eyes. He said, "Tell me, just because he is Young Duke Qin, he can insult His Majesty?"
Seeing that token, the leader of the guards was startled. His expression immediately became solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Sir, the crime of great disrespect cannot be committed by anyone!"
