Chapter 648 A Strange but Somewhat Familiar Voice Is Right Next to My Ears

Rong Su's actions caused the originally bustling hall to suddenly become extremely quiet.

Yan Pei realized later that the two little girls had already left with him.

Li Jun also came back to his senses, opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at Yu Wenyao who also had a startled expression, snorted, turned around and caught up with Rong Su.

Rong Su returned to his seat and sat down safely. The older girl and the younger girl followed behind him, their faces full of grievance and pity.

Li Jun came back and looked at the two little maids. He was full of questions, but he didn't know where to start.

It took a long time for the atmosphere in the hall to calm down, but there were still sights coming from all directions.

The attendant returned to the prince and told him everything he heard from Yi Shui'er nearby.

Hearing this, Rong Ting raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Rong Su with scrutiny.

This time when Rong Sui returned to Kyoto, Rong Ting actually felt that there was something different about the other party. As a saying goes, the person who knows you best will always be your enemy.

After all, it was easy for Rong Ting to sense Rong Su's slight disturbances after being their old rivals for many years.

However, Rong Ting couldn't understand where the difference came from.

Looking at the two little maids behind Rong Sui, Rong Ting thought that maybe he could start from here.

Just when people in the hall had different thoughts, a high-pitched chanting came from outside the hall.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

The singer is no longer the eunuch before, but has been replaced by another voice. Those who are familiar with it can easily recognize that it is the voice of Eunuch Qi Fu, the great eunuch beside the emperor.

Today's feast officially begins.

At the same time, in the Zhaoning Palace, the queen was sitting on the throne. After hearing the report from her personal maid Shu Zhen, she knew that a banquet had been held in the main hall. She said to the female relatives below in a friendly way: "Let's go." feast."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Those who were still restrained before heard the banquet and saw the dancer Pingting arriving, so they relaxed a lot. When chatting, they could also slightly amplify their voices.

Lin Qilian sat under the queen.

As the Queen's niece, Lin Qilian naturally received the best treatment among all the female relatives of the right age.

Seeing Lin Qilian eating sadly, the queen tilted her head and asked with concern: "Lian'er, what's going on?"

Lin Qilian put down her chopsticks and nodded slightly, but said nothing.

The Queen also put down her chopsticks and patted the mat beside her.

Lin Qilian stood up, walked up, and sat next to the queen, as if she was snuggling up to her.

Many of the ladies below who were paying attention to the appearance above them all curled their lips.

When Fang Ruotong heard the young lady sitting next to him, she muttered: "What's the point of pretending?"

After the one said this, the other ladies next to him actually chuckled in agreement.

Fang Ruotong was speechless and just lowered his eyes to eat the food indifferently. However, he felt someone leaning next to him. Fang Ruotong looked sideways and saw that it was indeed Qin Zi.

Qin Zi came over with a smile and secretly whispered in Fang Ruotong's ear: "Go over and sit over with me, don't let others get in trouble."

Fang Ruotong said: "I didn't say anything."

"But if we sit together, we are afraid of being implicated." Qin Zi said, grabbing Fang Ruotong's hand, pulling Fang Ruotong, moving three places, and when he got to his own place, he ordered the maid to change the dishes.

Qin Zi was sitting with Li Yin, and now Fang Ruotong came over. Although he knew his friend's cold and indifferent temperament, Li Yin still chatted and said with a low smile: "What happened to Lin Qilian, do you know?"

Qin Zi shook his head, Fang Ruotong was speechless, obviously not interested in what happened.

But Li Yin was interested and said: "It's the Fifth Prince!"

Qin Zi opened her eyes wide: "Didn't I say before that the Queen has made the decision to let Lin Qilian and the Fifth Prince get married soon? Could this... be a change?"

"That's not it." Li Yin said: "I heard that the fifth prince did not agree. Although he did not reject the queen in person, she was always unhappy. It was said that no one went to the appointment before. Not only did the fifth prince not go, but he also refused to accept the offer. People from the palace went there, but in the end it was the queen who sent her own people to get the job."

"It seems that the Fifth Prince is really unwilling, but so what if he is unwilling. Since it is the Queen's order, there is no room for him to deal with it. But what is going on with Lin Qilian? Even if he eats at the Fifth Prince's place If she feels grievances, why should she complain in front of the Queen? Her own son, the Queen, still doesn’t know what the Fifth Prince is thinking? Since she knows, doesn’t what she said become a complaint? Will the Queen be happy? When the time comes , she is the one who suffers."

Qin Zi spoke eloquently.

Li Yin laughed: "No, that's the truth, but who is Miss Lin? She is the Queen's niece. They probably think that the Queen will treat her better than the Fifth Prince. Just wait, I'll probably have to hold it in for a while."

When Li Yin said this, Qin Zi looked at the first person expectantly, but after waiting for a long time and nothing happened, he lost his patience. He looked down and saw Fang Ruotong looking towards the door, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Ruotong?" Qin Zi called.

Fang Ruotong grabbed Qin Zi's hand and pointed to the door: "Just now, there is someone there."

Qin Zi turned to look, and then said: "There are people, there are eunuchs and maids. There are probably thousands of people in Zhaoning Palace, how can there be no one there?"

"No..." Fang Ruotong said, but didn't know how to explain it.

Fang Ruotong wanted to say that there is a person there who should not be here.

Seeing that Fang Ruotong was confused, Qin Zi wanted to ask, but Li Yin pushed Qin Zi and said: "Look, look, the Queen's face has turned cold."

Qin Zi hurried to see it with great interest.

Fang Ruotong sat on the table for a while, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, got up, and walked out of the hall.

At this time, there was a banquet, and people were coming and going in the palace. Palace ladies and eunuchs were interspersed among them. There were also a large number of dancers in the center of the palace, and the sound of silk and bamboo made this already lively place even more noisy.

Fang Ruotong's departure did not arouse anyone's attention. Even Qin Zi and Li Yin only thought that Fang Ruotong was going to clean the room.

Fang Ruotong arrived outside the palace, and the eunuchs on both sides nodded to her. Fang Ruotong casually said "hmm" and stepped down.

Go around the empty space in front of the temple, turn around, and walk towards the long corridor on the right.

After walking around the corridor two or three times, seeing that there was no way ahead, Fang Ruotong stopped, looked around, and planned to go back, but suddenly, he felt a strong wind blowing by. Fang Ruotong was startled, and there was something behind him. , already pressed against her neck.

Fang Ruotong was startled and wanted to hide, but the other party said first: "Don't move."

The strange but somewhat familiar voice was right next to her ears. Fang Ruotong was stunned for a moment, turned her back to the man, but then asked belatedly: "Three...Third Prince?"

The dagger in Rong Leng's hand moved closer to the man's neck.
