Chapter 214 That Thing (Part [-])
Xiao Zhuo Qinghan's eyes swept away, and soon fell on Shen Chuhan's face, and complex emotions suddenly surged in his eyes.

"Your Highness..."

He knelt down in front of Shen Chuhan with a "plop", his voice trembled, and his eyes turned red.

"Get up quickly." Shen Chuhan supported him, "There is no need to be polite between you and me."

Song Qinghuan also stood up, walked forward, and bowed to Xiao Zhuo, "General Xiao, I have long admired your name."

Xiao Zhuo turned to look at her, with a handsome and respectful expression, "Ma'am."

Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows playfully, but she never expected that Xiao Zhuo would be so respectful when they met for the first time in this life.

"I have admired the great name of General Xiao for a long time." Song Qinghuan said with a smile, lowering the strangeness in her eyes.

Xiao Zhuo raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his head again, "Madam, please call me Xiao Zhuo." His voice was a little erratic, and Song Qinghuan was surprised, when he saw a blush on the base of his ears, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Xiao Zhuo is - shy?

Shen Chuhan said, "Let's sit down and chat first."

Song Qinghuan replied with a "Yes", and they walked to the long table in the Accord and sat down.Song Qinghuan sat next to Shen Chuhan, and Xiao Zhuo was opposite them, still hanging his head.

"How have you been in the past two years?" Shen Chuhan looked at Xiao Zhuo, and spoke heavily, with deep emotions in his eyes.

Xiao Zhuo slightly raised his head, nodded, and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your relationship, I'm fine. It's just that I missed your highness's wedding, and I have some regrets."

Seeing him like this, Song Qinghuan was even more surprised——

Because, from Xiao Zhuo's faint smile, she could see a bit of shyness.

She raised her eyebrows curiously, how could she not know that Xiao Zhuo is such a shy person?Although the appearance of his previous life has been blurred in his mind, there is no such memory.

However, it is also possible that he subconsciously regarded Shen Chuhan as his master, so he couldn't let go?

"A Wan and I both received your wish, so you don't have to feel sorry."

"Yes." Song Qinghuan nodded, with a little interest in his heart, he looked at Xiao Zhuo with a smile.

"Are you still used to it after returning to Beijing?" Shen Chuhan asked again.

Xiao Zhuo finally raised his head, and sighed slightly, "I haven't been back for two years, so I'm still a little strange."

Because of Xiao Zhuo's repeated military exploits, Yin Zhan gave him a mansion. He is now living in the General's Mansion in the middle of the capital. If we talk about it in detail, it is not too far from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"If there is anything, just send someone to tell Mu Bai, and I will arrange it here."

"Okay." Xiao Zhuo and Shen Chuhan are friends in need, and they will never retreat.After a pause, the blush on his face receded, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuhan, and said in a low tone, "Your Highness, do you know the reason why the emperor suddenly summoned me to Beijing?"

When it came to serious matters, the greenness on Xiao Zhuo's face faded in an instant, leaving only seriousness and depression, as if he was a different person.This appearance is just like the young general who was on the street in fresh clothes and angry horses that day.

Song Qinghuan moved slightly, blinked her long eyelashes, and observed Xiao Zhuo more and more curiously.

What is going on with this lovely contrast?

Could it be that Xiao Zhuo is a shy person in life?

Hearing Xiao Zhuo's question, Shen Chuhan's smile also faded, "I haven't found out the news yet. But there is one thing you need to know in advance."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Did you hear about Qinshui Emperor Ji of Chen Kingdom?"

Xiao Zhuo frowned, with a serious face, "Emperor Ji of Qinshui? I seem to have heard of this name before."

"The Empress of Qinshui is not an ordinary character. Ah Wan and I have dealt with her when we were in Lindu. Although she is a woman, she is very ambitious."

Xiao Zhuo nodded, but there was a little surprise in his eyes, he didn't understand why Shen Chuhan suddenly mentioned Qinshui Emperor Ji.

"Empress Qinshui came to Shengjing recently, just a few days before the emperor ordered you to come to Beijing." Song Qinghuan's words just now made Shen Chuhan suddenly have some guesses——

Ah Wan was right, it was not just a coincidence that the two of them entered Beijing so close in time.

Xiao Zhuo frowned, very puzzled, "But, I don't know Emperor Qinshui, and we haven't even met each other before, so how could we have anything to do with her?"

"Awan and I haven't figured this out yet. But..." Shen Chuhan paused, his expression becoming more serious, "The relationship between Qinshui Empress Ji and me and Awan is not good."

Xiao Zhuo frowned even tighter, "How do you say?"

Song Qing laughed happily, and took over the conversation with a clear voice, "Su Rao is disfigured now. The two ferocious welts on her face were caused by me."

Xiao Zhuo's pupils opened slightly, looking in surprise, he obviously didn't expect Song Qinghuan to be such a "ruthless character".

Song Qinghuan didn't avoid it, her eyes were full of smiles, her eyes were bright and intelligent, her expression was calm, no matter how you looked at it, she was just an overly beautiful girl.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's gaze, she curled her lips together, "I think I was too light-handed at the beginning, otherwise, how could she have so much energy to deal with these moths?"

When she said this, she obviously still laughed at Yan Yan's expression, but Xiao Zhuo didn't miss the coldness and cruelty that flashed in her eyes.

He was both surprised and stunned.

To be honest, when he first heard that His Highness asked to marry Princess Wuyang of Yu Kingdom, he was very surprised and also very disapproved.

His Highness is like a god in his heart, and his wife is naturally the best woman in the world.However, among so many imperial concubines in the Four Kingdoms, Wuyang Empress is one of the most obscure existences.

If a person is really good, how can there be no splash for so many years?

What's more, the emperor just married the sister of Wuyang Diji as his wife, and at this time His Highness suddenly came out like this, without even thinking about it, it would definitely anger the emperor's sensitive nerves.

So in the letter, he implicitly expressed his disapproval.

However, the result was as he expected - no one could stop what His Highness wanted to do.Not only did he succeed in persuading the emperor and Emperor Yu to agree to such a marriage, but he even went to the country of Yu to welcome the marriage in person.

When he heard the news, he knew that this Empress Wuyang might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Sure enough, when he glanced up in the street that day, he sighed in his heart——

The people His Highness likes are never simple.

Although it was only a glance, the calm and generous demeanor was impressive.His Highness is a person who achieves great things, and the woman standing beside him should also be a person of great courage.

So when they met today, he showed due respect to Song Qinghuan.

But just a few words just now overturned his view of Song Qinghuan in his mind.

She is the Empress Dowager, so no matter whether she is dignified or majestic, it is expected by Xiao Zhuo, but her stern and icy aura when she mentioned Qinshui Empress just now is exactly the same as His Highness.

That is the aura of a king looking down on the world!
Only then did he suddenly discover that Empress Wuyang was really not that simple.It turns out that the side she is showing now is really just the tip of the iceberg of her character.

I am sincerely happy for Shen Chuhan from the bottom of my heart.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo staring straight at him, the emotions in his eyes surged, and Song Qinghuan's eyes became even more interesting.

In this life, the first meeting between her and Xiao Zhuo seemed not as bad as last time.

Shen Chuhan glanced at them, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Zhuo, with a cool voice, "Drink water."

Xiao Zhuo came back to his senses suddenly, realized that he had stared at Song Qinghuan for too long, hurriedly lowered his head, took a sip of the water offered by Shen Chuhan in a panic, and blushed again at the base of his ears.

Seeing his cute appearance, Song Qinghuan couldn't help but want to laugh, but when she thought of the "Vinegar King" sitting next to her, she finally held back, adjusted her expression slightly, and smiled sweetly at Shen Chuhan, her eyebrows and eyes curled into crescent.

Shen Chuhan hooked the corners of his lips, his eyes flashed slightly, he looked back at Xiao Zhuo, "Did you receive the post for the New Year's Eve banquet in two days' time?"

Xiao Zhuo settled down and nodded.

"Diji Qinshui will definitely attend the New Year's Eve banquet. You will know when you see her. No matter what, be careful." Shen Chuhan warned in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"I estimate that after the New Year's Eve banquet is over, the emperor will call you into the palace and tell you the real purpose of letting you return to Beijing."

"En." Xiao Zhuo nodded in response, "If I have any news, I will send someone to notify His Highness immediately."

"Okay, it's rare to see each other, so I won't mention these things for now. I'll let someone serve wine." Shen Chu's cold expression softened a little, and he called the hidden guard guarding the door to come in and give some instructions.

The hidden guard led the order to retreat.

Since Shen Chuhan said that he would not talk about business, but only talk about Fengyue, Xiao Zhuo had something to say in his heart, so he let it go for the time being.Besides, Song Qinghuan was here, and he didn't want her to be bored, so he racked his brains to find a suitable topic to talk about.

It's just that he really isn't proactive in life, and Song Qinghuan is too radiant, so he doesn't know how to speak for a while.

It was Song Qinghuan who saw his embarrassment, and spoke first with a smile. "I heard that General Xiao and Ashu lived together in Wuyou Valley?"

Hearing her question, Xiao Zhuo knew about Shen Chuhan, and Song Qinghuan probably knew everything about it, so he didn't hide anything, nodded, and looked at the cup in his hand, "After my Highness and I escaped, the situation was not very good. Fortunately, I found Wuyou Valley by accident, and was taken in by Senior Ye."

"Master Ji and Luo Luo have also come to Shengjing, you can meet me if you have time."

"Really?" Xiao Zhuo was slightly surprised, and looked at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan nodded, "Now that Luoluo has reached the age of Ji, Master is not as restrained as before. In addition to my big marriage a while ago, Master allowed them to leave the valley."

Xiao Zhuo felt a little emotional, "In a blink of an eye, Luoluo has grown into a big girl."

Counting, Xiao Zhuo left the valley at the age of 15, and Luo Luo was only 11 years old at that time.No wonder she said earlier that she only met Ji Liuyun and Shen Chuhan in the valley, Xiao Zhuo was shy and young at that time, so she couldn't think of love in terms of love no matter what.And since Xiao Zhuo came out of the valley, he has been stationed at the frontier, and Ye Luo has never seen him.

Shen Chuhan obviously also thought of the past, his expression was clear, his eyes warmed up, and together with Xiao Zhuo, they chatted about the past.

At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Come in."

The one who pushed the door and entered was the hidden guard who went down just now, with several wine jugs on the tray in his hand.However, there was another person behind him, Mu Bai, with a slightly dignified expression.

After the hidden guard put down the jug and stepped back, Mu Bai saluted to them, exchanged a few words with Xiao Zhuo, and then looked at Shen Chuhan.

"What's wrong?" Shen Chuhan asked aloud when he saw that his expression was different.

Everyone here is trustworthy, so Mu Bai didn't shy away from it, and said directly, "Your Highness, Emperor Qinshui has come to Zuixianlou."

All three were slightly startled.

Su Rao actually came?Really what to say.

"She alone?" Shen Chuhan asked.

Mu Bai nodded, "I only brought a maid."

"Send someone to keep an eye on it." Such a good opportunity to come to your door, naturally you have to make good use of it.

"Yes." Mu Bai agreed, went to the door to give some instructions, and then turned back, "One more thing, there is news about Lei Chong, the son of Lei Shilang, that His Highness asked to investigate last time."

"How to say?" Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and looked at it with great interest.

"Last time Lei Chong molested a young master here and got into a conflict with him, and that young master cut off his left hand." After a pause, "That young master is the Qinshui Empress who disguised herself as a man. The red clothes, but the face is changed, it seems... Wearing a human skin mask, so the hidden guards did not recognize it at the first time. Later, during the investigation, they recognized the maid named Hongxiu next to her, so they followed the vine Check it out."

"When did this happen."

"Just two days before the wedding of the young master and his wife."

Song Qinghuan understood.

It seems that that time should be when Su Rao first arrived in Shengjing, but her attention was attracted by another matter.

Logically speaking, Su Rao disguised herself as a man, and the scars on her face didn't matter. On the contrary, it made her identity more credible. Those two scars.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and his face became solemn.

Could it be that Su Rao came to Shengjing all this time because of that thing?

　That thing, which thing?
