I'm not a scumbag

Ling Tingyu's cold snort made Qin Zuo couldn't help but look sideways.

What's going on, Queen?

Not to mention that Qin Zuo was confused, everyone present fell silent and stared at Ling Tingyu silently.

The noise that was originally mixed with all kinds of false politeness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Ling Fantian frowned subconsciously, glanced at Zhong Qingmei not far away with a vague look, seemed to have thought of something, and sighed silently.

While everyone was waiting for Ling Tingyu to say something, they saw her draw her sword from her side and shoot down the unknown object that was about to hit her head.

Qin Zuo narrowed his eyes and quickly glanced in a certain direction. Just as he was about to get up, he was reminded by Ah Kuai.

[Host, if you make this move, I'm afraid you will have to make new plans. 】

Qin Zuo suddenly realized, reached out to grab the wine glass on the table, and took a sip, concealing his previous motives.

Ling Fantian was half a step slower. At the moment, his thoughts were focused on his imperial sister, and he couldn't care less about Qin Zuo's little moves.

Everyone at the table broke into a cold sweat.

Just now, the princess was almost killed.

If that villain really succeeds, everyone here today will probably be buried with the princess.

Deng Zhuang reacted very quickly and stepped forward to care about Ling Tingyu. He stretched out his hand halfway, but had to retreat after meeting her intimidating eyes.

Ling Tingyu glanced at the people at the table with a cold face. When his eyes fell on Qin Zuo, he paused for half a minute, and then fell on Zhong Ying.

Zhong Ying had always been on tenterhooks, but now that something like this had happened, it made him even more miserable.

He knew that once this happened, he would have to hand over the military power in his hands even if he didn't want to.

I just don't know if this is just a coincidence, or if the princess specially set a trap for him today.

Ling Fantian looked at his imperial sister anxiously, and then he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that she was fine.

Ling Tingyu's usually cold face gained a hint of warmth, and she nodded to Ling Fantian and said, "Nothing."

After saying that, he turned to look at everyone at the table. The expression on his face was no longer as warm as before, and he just said coldly, "Everyone, please add some food."

An inexplicable remark made Qin Zuo confused. Before he could express his gratitude to the Queen, he was forcibly dragged away by the swarming soldiers.

"..."

Looking at Ling Fantian from a distance, he saw this guy pointing in the direction of Zhong Qingmei and saying something to Ling Tingyu in an extremely unloyal manner.

Cheng Ruyi was also taken away, but the difference in treatment was very obvious. If Qin Zuo was dragged away, then Cheng Ruyi was invited to leave.

When passing by Qin Zuo, this guy deliberately laughed at him with schadenfreude.

[Host, this extra meal is not a vegetarian dish. 】

What a coincidence, Ah Kuai also sent his 'greetings and care'.

Qin Zuo was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just looked more at the belated young butler beside Deng Zhuang.

If I read it correctly, this is the guy who hurt someone just now.

But what is Deng Zhuang’s motivation?

Compared with Qin Zuo, everyone seemed to be treated better than him, which made him very depressed.

Why, are you bullying yourself for being a foreigner?

Fortunately, he was not someone who cared too much about these things. He kept thinking about Deng Zhuang's intention in his mind, and from time to time he would think about the motives of Cheng Ruyi who suddenly appeared.

There were not many people attending this banquet, but they were all powerful people, and they brought many female relatives with them, which made it difficult for the soldiers who came out to arrest them.

But the instructions from above cannot be disobeyed, so we can only be surprised by some of the extraordinary behaviors of these family members.

It was this stability that made Qin Zuo realize that these soldiers were well prepared, and that the near-miss assassination just now might have been directed and performed by Deng Zhuang and Ling Tingyu?

The purpose is to take back the military power in Zhong Ying's hands.

But if the military power is really so easy to control, why can't it wait until now? There must be some reasons that he hasn't guessed.

Compared with the female family members, the adults who were asked to cooperate seemed particularly calm, but their eyes occasionally glanced at Zhong Ying, who had an expressionless face.

Perhaps, everyone thought that this was just for Zhong Ying. After thinking about it, they no longer felt uneasy in their hearts.

Otherwise, why would an assassin appear at such a rigorous banquet?

The self-righteous people thought they had seen through the truth of the matter, but Ling Fantian, who was regarded by Qin Zuo as a heterosexual and inhumane person, tried every means to excuse Qin Zuo.

The two didn't get along for a long time, but they felt quite sympathetic to each other.

Although Ling Fantian didn't know how Qin Zuo felt about him, Qin Zuo gave him the feeling that he understood him very well, like a confidant.

The people close to him either have various thoughts or have malicious intentions towards him. It is really rare for him to see such a pure person as Qin Zuo.

"Fan Tian, ​​you don't need to say much, I have my own arrangements."

Ling Tingyu slowed down her tone, rarely revealing her true emotions.

This made Deng Zhuang envious.

The young butler on the side lowered his head and said something in his ear. He frowned and said impatiently, "What else can I give you? Everyone has already gone in. Give that person a sum of money and let him walk as far as he wants." .”

That person?

Ling Fantian paused and said with some confusion, "Brother Zhuang, who is this person?"

Deng Zhuang was stunned. Through his plea just now, he naturally knew that Qin Zuo had a very close relationship with him. If he knew that the servant he had promised to give to him was now allowed to leave, it would be quite damaging to Ling Fantian. Because of his good impression, he said carelessly, "He's just a person who made mistakes."

Ling Fantian was only thinking about Qin Zuo, so he naturally didn't ask any more questions.

Ling Tingyu looked at Deng Zhuang thoughtfully.

......

Qin Zuo looked at the rather high-end cell in front of him and was speechless.

Cheng Ruyi outside the door was asking for credit, "Look how kind I am to you. I applied for a deluxe single room for you. Just enjoy it. No need to thank me, I'm leaving now."

After that, he jumped up and left the dark but not dirty cell.

Qin Zuo sneered, sat cross-legged quietly, and began to recall the details he had missed.
