Chapter 423： Hongmen Banquet

Chapter 423 Hongmen Banquet

Si Yuan was incoherent in excitement.

"Father, if you make your mother angry again, I will definitely spare no effort to help you."

Si Yan let out a "tsk".

"How to talk, when did I make your mother angry."

Shen Li sneered after hearing this.

"you sure?"

…

Anyway, it's decided to go to Xiliang together. Si Yan brought a lot of good things from the storeroom at home, because he didn't have time to prepare anything else. When Si Yan was about to get somewhere, he would buy other things .

A group of people set off in a mighty manner, full of posture.

Shen Li and Si Fu were at home waiting for news.

A few days later, Shen Li reckoned that Si Yan and his party should have arrived, and was still curious about the reaction there.

But at this moment, something happened suddenly in the capital, leaving Shen Li with no time to care about other things.

Early this morning, Shen Li received a post from the palace, saying that the female family members of officials in the capital were invited to attend a banquet in the palace.

One must know that it has not been long since the last palace banquet. When did the palace hold such frequent banquets? This is really strange.

Moreover, this time the banquet didn't even have a title, it only said that everyone should go to the palace before sunset, and the tone was as strong as if they were going to tie people into the palace.

Shen Li usually went to the palace with Si Yan to accompany her, this time she was asked to go by herself, she felt inexplicably flustered, but the emperor's order was hard to break, she couldn't escape this time.

Mother and daughter Shen Li dressed up and went to the palace. The further she walked in, the deeper her doubts became, because not only was there no banquet atmosphere in the palace, but everyone looked dignified.

When Shen Li arrived at the palace banquet and heard other people's comments, he knew what was going on.

It turned out that after the last palace banquet, the Holy Majesty's health not only did not improve, but went from bad to worse, and now he has to drink soup every day.

In history, every generation of emperors has a common dream: that is to live forever.

Zou Yuan scoffed at this when he was young, but as he got older, he also believed in the art of metaphysics.

Recently, he was introduced to a Taoist priest who claimed to have "eyes to reach heaven".

After some divination, the man said that the Holy Majesty shouldn't have done this. It was because a female family member had a fate that was against the emperor at the last banquet, which made the Majesty's condition worse.

No, His Majesty called all the female relatives in the capital to see if there is any way to change the fate.

Shen Li felt a little absurd after hearing this, the Holy Majesty has not been in good health for a day or two, why now he believes in this fate-defying number.

There was no singing and dancing at the banquet, it was like gathering people together for a meal, but the meal was so delicious that it made people shudder.

Because the Taoist priest invited by the Holy One was sitting right in front of them, looking at them without blinking.

Just when everyone was about to eat, the main event finally came.

I saw the Taoist priest picked up the Sanqing bell on the table in front of him and shook it twice vigorously. As the crisp bell rang, the Taoist priest immediately lit a talisman with strange characters written on it.

When the Dao Talisman was ignited, there was a "boom", which made everyone present couldn't help but back away. Si Fu moved back, shrank behind Shen Li, and couldn't help muttering.

"Mom, this... is scary."

Shen Li didn't speak, just held Si Fu's hand to reassure her.

After the Taoist talisman was burned out, the Taoist took another wooden sword, making plausible words while gesturing.

That posture, although I can't understand it, is quite bluffing.

Just as everyone was holding their breath, the Taoist priest suddenly stopped what he was doing, and pointed the wooden sword in his hand at Shen Li.
