C266 Killing intent gradually rose

On the winter's day, the Emperor, in order to celebrate Duan Yunfei's triumphant return, specially set up a banquet at the palace, inviting all civil and military officials to come participate.

As the lanterns lit up, the banquet began.

Mu Chuyang had arrived at the palace early, and the reason for that was so that the people around him could act in front of the emperor, while he was here to take a few more glances at Duan Yunfei.

"Thirteen, in the next few days, I'll be back at the palace. Are you used to it?" Mu Chuyang met Duan Yunfei at the entrance of the palace gate, then they walked towards the palace gate together.

Duan Yunfei turned her head to look at Mu Chuyang, and nodded towards him with a smile. I am sorry for the worry in Young Prince Mu's heart, but everything is fine with me in the palace, I hope that Young Prince can be at ease. "

Today was the first day it snowed in the capital. It was freezing cold in the sky and the earth, so it became much more inconvenient to walk.

Snowflakes danced in the air, and suddenly fell onto Duan Yunfei's neck, before transforming into ice-cold droplets of water.

Mu Chuyang had not fully recovered from his injuries. The moment he saw such weather, the wound on his shoulder hurt as if they were piercing his heart. Walking together with Duan Yunfei, he endured the pain with force, and did not even dare frown.

Duan Yunfei was naturally able to see through Mu Chuyang's thoughts as well. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she still did not dare to ask him.

She took out a small stove from her sleeve and handed it over to Mu Chuyang, and pretended to despise him: "When I came out just now, the palace maids were all in my pocket. I felt hot, so I let you keep it for me. "

"This …" Mu Chuyang hesitated and raised his head to look at Duan Yunfei.

"I've never been afraid of cold. You know that." Duan Yunfei hesitated for a while, then raised his head and said to Mu Chuyang nonstop, "On the other hand, you, on the other hand, have not fully recovered from the injury on your shoulder. "So you should take this furnace with you."

Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Mu Chuyang naturally understood the meaning behind them. He did not say anymore and nodded his head, "Okay."

"I still have some good herbs in my house. I will send someone to deliver them to you in another day." It's getting colder, and you have to take care of yourself. " Duan Yunfei turned and said to Mu Chuyang.

Mu Chuyang replied without hesitation.

Usually, they felt that the corridor was very long and would take them more than half a day to reach it. But today, together with Mu Chuyang, they merely spoke a little more before they arrived at the entrance of the great hall.

Mu Chuyang and Duan Yunfei looked at each other and laughed, then walked towards the hall together.

"Yunfei, come here quickly." Before Duan Yunfei even walked in, Zuo Yuan excitedly waved her over, indicating that Duan Yunfei should sit together with her.

When Duan Yunfei came back in a hurry, she had never seen this good friend of her. Seeing Zuo Yuan call out to her so warmly, she nodded at her and smiled as she sat down next to her.

"Yun Fei, you've been gone for two months. There's no point in leaving me alone in the capital. This is so painful for me! " Just as Duan Yunfei sat down beside Zuo Yuanyuan, she started to nag in her ear.

Duan Yunfei gently pushed Zuo Yuan to the side, and with a stern face, she said to her: "I'm afraid the one suffering is not you, but Sir Xiu Huang."

Duan Yunfei glanced at Mu Chuyang's side as she spoke. Mu Chuyang was busy greeting the people around him, and the Young Noble beside him, who was dressed in white, sat on his seat quietly and drank alone.

"If I'm not in the capital these few days, I'm afraid you would have to move to the Yusong Institute." Duan Yunfei looked at Zuo Yuan meaningfully, and couldn't help but smile at her.

Hearing Duan Yunfei teasing her like that, Zuo Yuan's face immediately flushed red, not daring to look at Xiu Huang who was sitting opposite to her.

"Yunfei, how have you been these past few days in the Northwest?" Zuo Yuanyuan turned around and asked Duan Yunfei. "These days, you have been leading the army alone. I am truly worried that it would be bad." "

Duan Yunfei reached out and patted Zuo Yuanyuan's shoulder, and comforted her by the side, "I'm doing fine while I'm in the northwest. There's nothing to worry about, it's just that …"

"But what?" Zuo Yuan immediately pulled Duan Yunfei and asked.

Duan Yunfei laughed, and shook her head at Zuo Yuan. "Nothing."

Since it was already over, there was no need to bring it up again. Duan Yunfei hesitated for a bit, but in the end, she did not mention the matter of him meeting Xiu Heng again.

Seeing that Duan Yunfei was not willing to bring it up, Zuo Yuan did not ask any further. She smiled and said to Duan Yunfei, "It doesn't matter, whether or not you win this war, as long as you can see you return safely."

Duan Yunfei grew up with Zuo Yuan, and the two of them had long understood each other.

She smiled and nodded at Zuo Chong.

Duan Yunfei was talking to Zuo Yuan while the other princesses were late too.

Sixth Princess and Princess Fifteen did not even look at Duan Yunfei and directly went to their seats. Only Princess Eleven Duan Liusu walked over and exchanged a few words with Duan Yunfei before slowly sitting down.

The banquet was about to begin, but the empress had yet to take her seat. The emperor looked outside, his expression turning even uglier.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the Emperor could no longer hold it in and said to the Eunuch Ming beside him in a low voice, "Quickly go and take a look, why hasn't the Empress come yet?"

The Sixth Princess sat on the banquet and glanced at Duan Yunfei. She turned around and said to the emperor, "Reporting to royal father, it's probably because there's someone my mother doesn't want to see during this banquet. She doesn't want to take a seat, right?"

"How dare you!" Before Sixth Princess could finish speaking, the Emperor berated him sternly. The Empress should be present as the mother of a nation. As a princess, as the daughter of a queen, you should know your limits. "If you continue to be so rude, I will definitely not forgive you."

Yuwen Di's expression became extremely unsightly, and the entire assembly became quiet. His dragon face became even angrier, and no one dared to make any more noise. Sixth Princess also did not dare speak anymore. He hurriedly walked over to the emperor and knelt on the ground. "Royal father, this son was disrespectful. This son knows his wrongs and asks royal father to forgive this son."

No matter what, the banquet today was set up by Duan Yunfei, and the Emperor was not willing to stir up trouble again. He waved his hands towards Sixth Princess, signalling for her to leave.

"Father, this son …" Sixth Princess saw that the emperor's expression was a little off and was about to continue to defend himself.

But before she could finish, the emperor glared fiercely at her. "What else do you have to say? Do you think you're not losing enough face?"

Hearing Yuwen Di's words, the Sixth Princess dared not speak anymore, and awkwardly took a step back.

The empress had rushed over and the banquet had just officially begun.
