Chapter 287 Something Happened

Regarding his late arrival, although Emperor Yu was slightly displeased, he didn't say much, and ordered him and the delegation to be seated.

With the appearance of Shen Chuhan, the focus of the audience immediately shifted to him. Everyone's eyes fell on him intentionally or unintentionally.

There was a hint of impatience in his eyes, Shen Chuhan frowned fiercely, and tightened his hand holding the wine glass.

He has always been obsessed with cleanliness, and his obsession with cleanliness makes others feel disgusted if he takes a second look at him.

Therefore, he never liked his exaggerated appearance.

During the whole banquet, except for the routine greetings at the beginning, he didn't say a word, just lowered his head, and occasionally took a sip of the wine in the glass with a calm expression.

He sat there, with black hair and star eyes, and the winter's coldness between his brows and eyes. Just looking at him, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his heart was so cold that people couldn't help shivering.

There was an aura of not getting close to strangers all over his body.

Unfortunately, some people are so unlucky.

After the song in the palace, the dancer left the stage with a twisting and enchanting figure, and the maid standing behind her stepped forward and filled everyone's wine glasses.

The little maid behind Shen Chuhan was probably frightened by his cold expression, the hand holding the flagon trembled a little, she lowered her head, and leaned forward to pour wine for him.

The closer he was to Shen Chuhan, the more intense the unreasonable fear in his heart, and the more violent his hand trembled, he accidentally knocked down the silver wine cup in front of Shen Chuhan.

The wine cup fell onto the table with a "clang", and the liquid in the cup flowed out, and flowed onto Shen Chuhan's brocade robe along the smooth surface, instantly dyeing a small piece of crescent white brocade cloth red.

When the little palace maid saw it, she also panicked, and hurriedly took her sleeves to wipe Shen Chuhan.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was very hot, and when everyone was pushing cups and exchanging cups, they suddenly heard a loud "bang", followed the reputation, and saw a maid in Tsing Yi fell to the ground, her face was pale, and blood was still flowing from the corner of her mouth. hurt.

Everyone looked astonished, and followed the terrified sight of the little maid.

Sitting in the upper corner of her was Shen Chuhan, Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom. His deep eyes hid bottomless loathing, and he didn't even look at the maids on the ground. He took out his handkerchief, and wiped his hands slowly.

Emperor Yu, who was at the top, also heard the movement and looked over, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Shen Chuhan stood up and gave a slight salute to Emperor Yu, his eyes were dark and his tone was calm, "I'm sorry for disturbing Emperor Yu's pleasure. Shen's robe is dirty, please let Emperor Yu allow Shen to go down and change."

Emperor Yu's eyes fell on the wine stain on his waist, his brows frowned even tighter, his eyes were slightly cloudy, he paused, and looked at Zhong Huai beside him, "Zhong Huai, take Shen Xiang down to change clothes. "

Zhong Huai bowed in response, walked up to Shen Chuhan and saluted, and said respectfully, "President Shen, please."

Shen Chuhan responded coldly, attended and entered the side hall, there was darkness floating between the light sleeves of his sleeves, like a black cloud, which made his heart sink for no reason.

As soon as he left, the originally silent hall became lively again.

The injured maid was helped down, and there were whispers from the crowd.

"What just happened?"

"It seems that the maid spilled the wine on Shen Xiang, and when she was about to wipe it off for him, Shen Xiang slapped it away." The person who had been paying attention to Shen Chuhan explained.

"So cruel?" Others were speechless.

"The palm of Prime Minister Shen just now was not light. Isn't he a civil servant? How can he know martial arts?" Others raised different opinions.

"Who knows? But in my opinion, this legendary Prime Minister Shen is not someone to be trifled with."

The words of everyone's discussion reached Song Qinghuan's ears.

She lowered her head slightly, her expression was calm and unwavering, like a clear pond with no wind blowing, without a single ripple.Only under the eyebrows of Qingdai like a distant mountain, there is a pair of clear pupils, hidden under the long eye feathers, there are occasional light flashes.

She had naturally heard about Liang Guo's intention to propose marriage this time, but she never expected that the envoy sent by Liang Guo would be such an unpredictable person.

He has a handsome face.

Even before crossing, Song Qinghuan had never seen such a person with the world's lakes and mountains in his eyes. It was just an ordinary brocade clothes and jade belt, but he was dressed like an exile.

However, it is said that the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are.

This Prime Minister Shen who was born in Liangguo was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

Thinking of Jun Liang's cruelty, tyranny, and sickness, and the number one person in the country with such a vicious temperament, Song Qinghuan knew that this marriage with Liang Country was by no means an easy task.

Originally, she wanted to be a little excited, thinking about taking this opportunity to escape from the prison of the deep palace, but now it seems that even if she went to Liangguo with her relatives, she would just jump into another pit of fire.

After all, compared to Queen Song Qingyi and Song Qingyu, this mysterious Prime Minister Shen was obviously more difficult to deal with.

His eyes turned slightly, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the hall became quiet again, and looking up, it was indeed Shen Chuhan who came back after changing his clothes.

This time, he changed into a snow-blue brocade robe and a jade belt with hollows. Against the background of the dark clothes, his stern features became more profound and stern, and there was a pure arrogance hidden between his brows.

The stream outside was bright and bright, and the hall was brightly lit, but standing there, it was clearly a dark night wind, but it was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Chuhan nodded to Emperor Yu, and took his seat quietly.

Because of what happened just now, everyone dared not look at him blatantly again, the silk, bamboo, shengxiao resounded in the hall, and the scene of singing and dancing was restored again.

At the end of the song again, the dancer withdrew, and the musician also stopped, leaving only lingering sounds in the hall.

At this juncture, I suddenly heard a female's voice, soft and gentle, and the lingering music sounded pleasant to the ear.

"Father, today is your birthday. My son specially prepared a piece of piano music to congratulate Father on his birthday. I wish Father a blessing like the East Sea and a longer life than Nanshan."

Everyone followed the prestige and saw that the one who spoke at this time was Song Qingyi, the concubine of Pingyang Emperor who was quite favored.

Today, she is wearing a lake-blue palace skirt, the skirt and sleeves are embroidered with Chiba begonias with gold and silver thread, which complements the snow on her skin, and her eyes are clear and graceful.

Emperor Yu was a little surprised, but obviously liked it, "haha" smiled and said, "Pingyang has a heart, then I will wait and appreciate it."

Song Qingyi nodded slightly, revealing a section of snow-white neck, showing a bit of charm and elegance.While leaving the table, a servant brought in the guqin and put it away in the hall.

After all, she is the imperial concubine, and she is a well-prepared talent. Song Qingyi played this piano piece really well.When the last syllable fell, everyone applauded.

Except for Shen Chuhan.

A flash of smugness flashed in Song Qingyi's eyes, and he looked around, his eyes fell on Shen Chuhan's still cold face, he was startled, his eyes were full of light, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction.

She has always been proud of herself. Since she was a child, she has always wanted to be the first in everything, and she rarely misses.

In the beginning, she really prepared this piano piece for Emperor Yu, but when Shen Chuhan appeared, her mind throbbed.

With her temperament, since she wants to be the first in everything, what she wants is naturally the best.

Now that she was old enough, recruiting a son-in-law for her was on the agenda.

However, Song Qingyi's heart was very high, how could an ordinary man like it, he dragged it back and forth, until now.

She naturally knew about Liang Guo's intention to marry Yu Guo, but she was not interested.One is that she has always been favored, so how could she be willing to marry all the way to Liangguo to endure hardship?The second emperor of Liang, Yin Zhan, has a poor reputation outside the world and has a sickly body. No matter how you look at it, he is not a good match.

But what she didn't expect was that the person Liangguo sent to discuss marriage was actually Prime Minister Shen who was in the limelight recently.

He had heard many rumors about Prime Minister Shen, but he never thought that he was so handsome and so young.It was probably because Shen Chuhan didn't like people talking about his appearance, so people who had met him didn't dare to spread it.

The moment he saw Shen Chuhan, Song Qingyi's heart froze, as if his ideal son-in-law had become real in an instant, and he stood alive in front of him like that.

So for this song, she made up her mind to attract Shen Chuhan's attention.

Unfortunately, Shen Chuhan didn't buy it.

Even during the few glances she intentionally or unintentionally glanced over while she was playing, she never saw Shen Chuhan raise his head, he just lowered his eyebrows like that, occasionally sipping his drink, cold and independent.

After hearing this, Emperor Yu didn't know that she was troubled in her heart, Long Yan was overjoyed, and ordered someone to give a reward, but Song Qingyi still went back to the table without mentioning it.

Before he could speak, another person stood up and said the same words.

This time, it was Anyang Emperor Ji Song Qingyu.

When the people present saw it, they couldn't help smiling a little playfully, and they all wanted to watch the play.

Today there are envoys from the four countries, the two concubines are doing this to celebrate Emperor Yu's birthday in name, but in fact they are just trying to get a good name through the mouth of the four countries' envoys.

Song Qingyu danced a song, no merits, no faults, it's better to be tricky, and Emperor Yu still appreciated it.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Song Qinghuan who was the only one who hadn't performed. Even Emperor Yu looked at Song Qinghuan rarely, as if there was hope in his eyes.

Song Qinghuan's face was a little cold.

Although Song Qingyi and Song Qingyu came here with the desire to be famous, but more, they just wanted to see her make a fool of themselves.

She hooked her lips in a funny way, raised her head, stood up and looked at Emperor Yu, "I also wish my father a long life." As she spoke, she drank all the wine in her glass, but there was nothing to say.

The smile on Emperor Yu's face stiffened, and he waved his hand, motioning for her to sit down.

Song Qingyu looked triumphantly, with disdain that couldn't be concealed in his eyes.

Yes, what she did today was what she and Song Qingyi had discussed a long time ago, and the purpose was to make Song Qinghuan embarrass herself in front of her father.

Although my father doesn't like Song Qinghuan, but for so many years, Mrs. Qingxuan has been an unspeakable taboo in the palace, which means that my father has never forgotten her, so for the only daughter she left behind, I might think of it someday Pampered.So before she gained power, he had to trample her into the mud so that she could never stand up again.

It's not that Song Qinghuan doesn't know what the two of them are thinking, it's just that she somehow transmigrated into this world. Although it has been many years, she still has the desire to protect herself in her bones, and she doesn't want or want to participate in their intrigues.

What's more, Prime Minister Liang Guo was present today.Since Song Qingyi and Song Qingyu are in a hurry to perform, let them perform well. It is best to catch Shen Xiang's eyes and directly select them with their relatives.

At this time, she didn't know that it was her unreasonable disposition to play cards that made Shen Chuhan interested in her again.

After that, things were very uneventful.

Emperor Yu's birthday banquet was successfully concluded, and the matter of marriage with the Liang Kingdom was also brought to light. The only episode was that the envoys of the Liang Kingdom were attacked by unknown assassins on their way back to the Sifang Pavilion that night. Fortunately, Prime Minister Shen No problem, there were no casualties among the envoys, and the Dali Temple's long-term investigation was fruitless, so the matter was left alone.

But what Song Qinghuan didn't expect was that she was the one who finally decided to marry her relatives.

When she heard the news, she, who had always been cold, lost her composure.

why?
Even if his father didn't like him and wanted to marry him off, Xiang Shen was not someone who would be easily manipulated. If he disagreed, his father would definitely not be able to force him.

Obviously she was unknown and not outstanding at the birthday banquet, why did Prime Minister Shen take a fancy to her?

……

"Ash?"

The fog cleared in front of his eyes, and there was a deep sobbing sound in his ears, with a bit of hoarseness after crying hysterically.

Shen Chuhan came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan who was in his arms.

The slightly cold face in memory overlapped with the appearance like the moon and snow in front of him.

She cried a lot, her almond eyes were red and swollen, and they were as clear as if washed by water, with pitiful fragility.

Shen Chuhan took out the veil and wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, "Ah Wan, I know you are feeling uncomfortable, but...you have to take care of yourself."

Song Qinghuan nodded in a daze.

The loud cry just now seemed to cry out all the grievances and anxiety in her heart.

After crying, she understood even more that even if she was reborn, some things were not completely under the control of herself and Shen Chuhan. She needed to become stronger in order to protect all the people she wanted to protect.

Shen Chuhan let go of her waist, stood up and poured her a cup of tea, "Moisten your throat."

Song Qinghuan didn't reach out his hand, just took a sip from his hand, his eyes were foggy.

Taking a deep breath, the fragility in her eyes just now has receded, only the faint light made her face a little pale.

"How is Junxi?"

"Don't worry, after receiving your letter, Jun Xi has already taken Xiao Shizi out of Jian'an." Shen Chuhan comforted in a warm voice.

"The coffin of Brother Five?" Song Qinghuan was a little worried.When Jun Xi went to Yu Country, he didn't dare to store Song Xuan's coffin in Lindu, so he secretly transported it to Jian'an with the team.But now that the emperor has passed away, Jian'an is obviously no longer safe.

"Jun Xi and Xiao Shizi evacuate first, and I will arrange for the coffin of Brother Wuhuang to be transported out later."

Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Shen Chuhan changed his life against the sky and begged for her in this life, maybe there really is a way to bring people back to life on Yuheng Island.

Even if she couldn't, she couldn't leave Brother Wuhuang's coffin under Song Yan's nose.

"Originally Jun Xi persuaded Xu Jieyu to go with her, but Xu Jieyu didn't want to leave Jian'an and voluntarily stayed to cover for Jun Xi." Shen Chuhan glanced at her and continued to speak.

Song Qinghuan's eyes were sour.

During Junxi's stay in Jian'an, Xu Jieyu was allowed to go out of the palace to take care of Junxi and Xiao Shizi, and a deep relationship must have been established between the two.She voluntarily stayed in Jian'an. Once Song Yan found out the fact that Jun Xi had escaped, she would definitely vent her anger on Xu Jieyu. It can be said that her fate in Yu Country was already very bad.

Taking a deep breath, he swallowed back the tears that came up.

Now that the Quartet is ready to move, there is no time left for her to be weak, she must work together with Shen Chuhan to take back Zhaoguo's power.

Previously, because of her pregnancy and childbirth, she was slack in dealing with other matters, and Shen Chuhan didn't want her to work too hard, so many things directly bypassed her, which inevitably made her analysis of the situation biased.

She raised her head, "Ashu, if you need me to know about Zhaoguo's affairs in the future, please tell me." Although her father's death made her sad, it couldn't stop her from moving forward.

Shen Chuhan looked at her tough eyebrows, and remembered what she had said.She doesn't want to depend on him to live, but wants to watch the floating world with a smile by his side.

"Okay." He nodded heavily and agreed.

Calling Liuyue to fetch water and wash her face, Song Qinghuan regained her spirits and was about to follow Shen Chuhan to the study when she suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps outside the door.

Looking up, Xuanying's figure appeared at the door, and there was a hint of panic on his usually solemn face.

Song Qinghuan's heart sank suddenly.

Could it be that something happened again?
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuhan had already opened his mouth before thinking about it.

Xuanying glanced at Song Qinghuan, a little hesitant to speak.

Shen Chuhan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Say it." Seeing Xuanying's expression, it was clearly not a good thing, but since he agreed to Song Qinghuan, he would no longer try to block all the wind and rain for her.

Xuan Ying pursed her lips, and said gloomily, "Master, Young Madam, something happened to Mr. Ji and Miss Ye."
