A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

For a moment, everyone looked in the direction of the North Rong envoy.

Tuoba Rui's mind went blank for a moment. The emperor's sharp gaze, as if carrying a thousand pounds of pressure, fell on him. When he came to his senses, he subconsciously knelt down.

"Little Wang..." How could Tuoba Rui dare to say that he was looking for Mingyue Xian?

He wanted to quickly find an excuse to get by, but in his haste, his mind went completely blank.

Just then, the North Rong envoy beside him came to his rescue.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is looking for wine." The envoy from Beirong said with a smile, "The wine of Dajing is delicious, and the Third Prince likes it very much, so he drank a little too much."

"Looking for wine?" Xie Xuanjin continued to stare at Tuoba Rui.

Tuoba Rui knew this wasn't a good excuse, but he had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes."

A moment of silence fell over the main hall.

Tuoba Rui was unsure whether Xie Xuanjin believed his story, and remained tense.

Finally, Xie Xuanjin withdrew his gaze and instructed the palace servants, "Then serve Prince Tuoba more wine."

Tuoba Rui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to his seat, the wine was served one after another, but Tuoba Rui was still filled with fear and guilt.

As the palace banquet began, court officials and envoys from both countries successively offered their birthday greetings and gifts.

Xie Xuanjin sat in the main seat, his mind focused on finishing quickly so he could return to Jinhua Palace to be with Song Qingning.

However, the birthday greetings from courtiers and envoys from both countries continued.

Xie Xuanjin was absent-minded. When his gaze fell on Tuoba Rui in the seat of the Beirong envoy, Xie Xuanjin narrowed his eyes again.

"Third Prince, please drink."

The Northern Rong envoy beside Tuoba Rui kept pouring wine for him.

Tuoba Rui was clearly already drunk, and he tried to stop him from continuing to drink, but the envoy from Beirong whispered a reminder, "This wine was bestowed by the Emperor of Dajing. Has Your Highness forgotten the Emperor's instructions before we left?"

Tuoba Rui frowned.

Before his departure, his father instructed him to show goodwill towards the Great Jing Dynasty and not to make any mistakes.

He didn't know the new emperor of Dajing and was worried that if he didn't drink, he would displease him. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up the wine cup, tilt his head back, and drink the wine in one gulp.

The intoxication intensified.

Alcohol eroded his brain, and suddenly his stomach churned. Realizing what was happening, Tuoba Rui immediately disregarded everything else and ran out of the hall.

The commotion drew everyone's attention.

The envoy from Beirong, who had been pouring the wine, immediately rose and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. "Your Majesty, please forgive him. The Third Prince was a heavy drinker and drank too much. He lost control while drunk. Your Majesty, please punish him."

Punishment?

"He's happy today, and so am I. He's just drunk and feels like vomiting. Why should he be punished? Guards, take Prince Tuoba to change his clothes."

Xie Xuanjin had a rare smile on his face tonight.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I will go and take care of the Third Prince," the envoy from Beirong requested.

He was going to take care of Tuoba Rui, and Xie Xuanjin did not stop him.

As soon as the envoy from Beirong left his seat, a fierce glint flashed in Xie Xuanjin's lowered eyes.

As Wan Liang poured him wine, Xie Xuanjin whispered an order, "Follow those two and see what Tuoba Rui, no, see what that Bei Rong envoy is up to."

"Yes."

Wan Liang quietly accepted the order and left.

The discovery just now somewhat eased the unease that had been lingering in Xie Xuanjin's heart.

He knew about Tuoba Rui, the Third Prince of Beirong.

When the Northern Emperor was young, he came to Dajing and was saved by a peasant girl. The woman not only saved his life, but also gave birth to his son.

Afterwards, the Emperor of Beirong returned to Beirong, and a few years later, he sent people to bring the mother and son back to Beirong.

The Northern Royal Family values ​​bloodlines and has always refrained from intermarrying with other ethnic groups.

Tuoba Rui and his mother faced a difficult situation in the harem of Emperor Bei Rong.

Everyone in Beirong knew that the emperor of Beirong did not love that foreign woman and her son, but Xie Xuanjin did not think so.

If she didn't love him, a foreign woman with a son would have died countless times in the barbarian land of Beirong.

However, Tuoba Rui grew up peacefully into adulthood.

Even he could see that the Emperor of Beirong had secretly done a lot for this mother and son, so how could the other princes and concubines of Beirong not see it?

The envoy from Beirong was pouring wine for me earlier; he probably had some ulterior motive.

He wasn't plotting elsewhere, but rather within the Great Jing Imperial Palace...

Xie Xuanjin lowered his eyes, as if finding solace for the unease in his heart.

Having goals is a good thing.

Xie Xuanjin held his wine glass, his gaze sweeping over the seats of the envoys from Nanlin and Beirong, a smile playing on his lips, the meaning of which was ambiguous.

Outside the palace banquet.

Tuoba Rui found a place and vomited for a while before the churning in his stomach subsided.

He reeked of alcohol and looked utterly disheveled.

As the envoy from Beirong approached, his usual ingratiating expression turned to disgust, but then, remembering what he had to do, he quickly put on a concerned look.

"Third Prince, you are...you are covered in filth. What are we going to do? It would be so disgraceful to return to the banquet like this. What if you are accused of disrespect in front of the emperor..."

"Third Prince, I will take you to change your clothes."

The North Rong envoy helped him to his feet.

Tuoba Rui was not a good drinker, and after vomiting, he was still not very sober.

"Thanks to you, once we return to Beirong, I will not accept any reward from my father. I will attribute all the credit to you and secure a high-ranking official position for you."

Tuoba Rui said.

These words startled the North Rong envoy slightly, but soon his eyes showed a resolute determination.

Tuoba Rui is a good person and also very clear-headed.

Knowing that he had the bloodline of the Great Jing Dynasty and was ineligible for the throne of the Northern Rong Dynasty, she never thought of competing for it. Unfortunately, he also had the blood of the Northern Rong royal family flowing in his veins.

Even if he doesn't fight for power, as long as he poses a threat to the other princes, he will still not escape death.

This time, their emperor sent Tuoba Rui as an envoy to Dajing. The princes were all worried that he would gain merit and power because of this, and they all wanted him to make a mistake, and even wanted him to die in Dajing.

The princes dared not send assassins for fear of being discovered by the emperor, so they kidnapped his family and forced him to act according to circumstances in Dajing.

"Third Prince..." The envoy felt guilty, but had no other choice.

He helped Tuoba Rui along, following the layout map of the harem given to him by the envoy from Nanlin, and searched all the way.

"The Jinhua Palace is just ahead..."

The North Korean envoy deliberately misled them.

Tuoba Rui: "Jinhua Palace?"

"I've heard that the one residing in Jinhua Palace is none other than the Fairy Mingyue..."

"Mingyue Xian?"

A faint light shone in Tuoba Rui's drunken, hazy eyes.

The envoy from Beirong, seeing this, continued to coax, "Didn't the Third Prince like her paintings? I thought I would be able to catch a glimpse of them at the palace banquet earlier, but unfortunately, she didn't attend."

"She wasn't at the palace banquet; she must be in her bedchamber."

"Would Your Highness like to see him?"

Want to meet?

Tuoba Rui frowned; he naturally wanted to see him.

However, the harem of Dajing was different from that of Beirong.

If word got out that a palace concubine was having an affair with a man, it would cost Mingyue Xian her life, and it would cost him his too!

Tuoba Rui suddenly snapped to attention, realizing something, and sobered up considerably. "Why did you bring me here? This is the Great Jing Imperial Palace; we can't just wander around!"

Having said that, he braced himself and prepared to turn back.

The North Rong envoy frowned, knowing that one plan was not working, so he began to consider another approach.

So he picked up a stone and threw it at Tuoba Rui.
