Chapter 324 Set up another prince
Shen Chuhan's eyelashes closed, his voice was light, his slender jade fingers played with the cup in his hand, "It's been more than half an hour."

He didn't pay much attention to Jun Wan, but he has always had an amazing memory. When Jun Wan was leaving, he happened to see her with a casual glance, and remembered the time when she left Jinrong Hall.

Song Qinghuan frowned, suspicion flashed in his eyes, "It's been so long?"

Before she came, she was worried that Jun Wan would do something wrong at the palace banquet.After all, based on what she knew about Jun Wan, she was not someone who gave up so easily.

The setback in Prince Han's Mansion last time will not only not make her retreat, but maybe it will stimulate her to do some crazier things, so she is inevitably worried.

Besides...

She glanced at Biyu who was kneeling behind Jun Wan's seat.

Biyu is Junwan's personal maid. If Junwan just went out to get some air, she should take Biyu with her.Of course, it's not ruled out that she thinks it's annoying to be followed, so she goes out for a walk by herself.

However, Song Qinghuan still prefers not to think Junwan too simply.

Was she planning something?

Song Qinghuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Biyu calmly.

Biyu was lowering her head at this time, clasping her hands nervously in front of her body, it could be seen that her expression was a little nervous.

Could it be that she didn't know what Jun Wan was doing?Seeing that she has been away for a long time, so you are also worried?

"Ashu..." After thinking for a moment, Song Qinghuan looked up at Shen Chuhan, and said in a low voice, "Do you think Junwan is planning something after he hasn't come back for so long?"

"You and I and Xiao Zhuo are both here, even if she really intends to do something, she will definitely not succeed, Ah Wan just relax her mind." Shen Chuhan was as indifferent as ever, his eyes were clear, like a vast starry sky, giving people a feeling An inexplicable sense of tranquility.

In his eyes, a small character like Jun Wan is not qualified to be his opponent.

Song Qinghuan was infected by Shen Chuhan's indifferent mood, and quickly settled down.

As long as Shen Chuhan is still by his side, he is not afraid that Junwan will make something famous.What's more, she is a smart person, even if she wants to do something, she will not leave a big excuse for her delay in returning.

As for Xiao Zhuo——

She looked up at Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo was sitting at the end of the table at this time, drinking alone, he seemed to be at ease, and his expression was not cramped.He is a general, but most of the important ministers who came were civil servants, so naturally he couldn't talk about it.

What's more, it hasn't been long since Xiao Zhuo came, and he is not an important official position, and no one wants to initiate a conversation with him.

Of course, for Xiao Zhuo, such a clean situation is exactly what he wants.

Song Qinghuan looked at his handsome profile, feeling a little puzzled.

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhao specially asked him to attend this palace banquet, but why?It stands to reason that Xiao Zhuo is now just a small armored guard captain, and he is not qualified to participate in this kind of palace banquet where the royal family's important officials gather.

Besides, most of the palace banquet had already been carried out, but Emperor Zhao seemed to have forgotten this person, and didn't even look at him. Could it be that Emperor Zhao specially asked him to attend this palace banquet, and it was really just a random thing?Or, just to give Shen Chuhan a face?
However, Song Qinghuan quickly denied this idea.

Emperor Zhao was the most thoughtful person, thanks to his scheming, he would never do something without reason and without benefit.

As if feeling that someone was looking at her, Xiao Zhuo looked up, Ling Ran's eyes met Song Qinghuan's in the air, seeing her, the coldness in her eyes dissipated, and a shy smile appeared on her cheek.

Song Qinghuan also smiled back.

Seeing the interaction between the two of them, Shen Chuhan suddenly coughed lightly from the side, and his cool eyes swept over Song Qinghuan's face.

Seeing Shen Chuhan's expression, Xiao Zhuo's eyes panicked, and he quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at Song Qinghuan, as if he couldn't avoid it.

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips helplessly, turned her head to look at Shen Chuhan, with a dumbfounding expression on her face, "Ashu, do you want to eat Xiao Zhuo's vinegar?"

But Shen Chuhan didn't speak, he just took a sip of the wine cup, there was an elegant stream of light from the corners of his eyes, and there was a curve on his lips that looked like a smile but wasn't a smile.

Knowing that he was meant to be joking, Song Qinghuan didn't bother to argue with him, she turned her eyes, reached out and grabbed the wine cup in his hand, brought it to her lips and took a sip, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing her relax her mind, the smile in the corners of Shen Chuhan's eyes became wider, and the eyes looking at her were as gentle as water.

This kind of Song Qinghuan, who is so cute and smiling, is what he wants to see.As for Jun Wan or Xiao Zhuo, they have to deal with it by themselves, and he doesn't want her to worry too much.

The wine in Zhaoguo Palace is sweet and mellow, not inferior to the fine wine in Qianzhan Pavilion. Song Qinghuan was snatched from the wine cup by Shen Chuhan just now.

Seeing that the glass in her hand was empty, she glanced quietly at Shen Chuhan, and she had already stretched her hand towards the jug on the table.

Shen Chuhan glanced coldly.

Seeing that he caught him straight, Song Qinghuan smiled ingratiatingly, and stretched out a finger, "Ashu, just have a drink."

She is very good at drinking, and she is not addicted to alcohol on weekdays, but the wine in the palace today is so delicious that she wanted to drink a few more sips, but Shen Chuhan refused to allow it, which made her feel more itchy.

Shen Chuhan opened his thin lips, and was about to speak, but there was a burst of crying behind him.

Song Qinghuan collected her thoughts and looked back. It turned out that the baby girl in the nurse's arms woke up. Maybe it was because the hall was too noisy, which made her feel a little bad, so she burst into tears with a "wow".

Song Qinghuan hurriedly held out the wine cup in his hand, and stretched out his hand to the wet nurse, "Oh, I'm so sad, don't cry, mother hugs me."

"Princess, the little princess is probably hungry." The wet nurse looked at her and smiled, and handed the little princess over.

"Hungry?" Song Qinghuan held her daughter in her arms and patted her for a while, finally coaxing her to quiet down a little.

She had enough milk, and most of the time the little princess was breastfed by herself, but it was not convenient for the child to be still in the palace.

After thinking for a while, he gently handed the little princess back, "Wen Niang, go down and nurse with worry, I'll let Shen Xing accompany you."

Saying that, he looked at Shen Xing again, "Take Wen Niang to the side hall next to you, be careful."

Shen Xing was familiar with the terrain in the palace, Song Qinghuan felt more at ease with her accompanying her nurse.What's more, the nurse doesn't know martial arts, so it's better to be cautious at this time.

Shen Xing nodded yes, stood up and led Wen Niang to the side hall.

Not long after the two went down, Emperor Zhao picked up the wine glass and tapped it with the jade chopsticks on the side. The noisy hall gradually became quiet. Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at Emperor Zhao, waiting for his next words.

"This banquet is held to clean up the dust for Lao San and Qing Huan. Come, let's toast them and welcome them back." Emperor Zhao said loudly, holding up his wine cup.

Song Qinghuan's eyebrows moved slightly.

Emperor Zhao is determined to support them. It seems that the recent collaboration between the Xue family and Jun Che really made him a little anxious, and that's why he spared no effort to change the direction of the wind.

For them, this is naturally a good thing.

The two also picked up the wine cups, stood up, and bowed to Emperor Zhao, "Thank you, Father, for your trouble."

The others also followed suit, raising their wine cups and toasting to Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan.

Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan had a drink, nodded their thanks, and sat down again.

"Recently, the second and third sons have helped me a lot in government affairs, and I am very pleased." Emperor Zhao also raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and spoke in a deep voice.

Jun Che answered, "These are what the ministers should do."

Emperor Zhao nodded, "With your assistance, these days are indeed much easier. In the future, I hope you can continue to be my right-hand man and make the country of Zhao more prosperous and prosperous."

Jun Che's expression did not change, he lowered his eyes and lowered the strange color in his eyes, and smiled agreeably, as if he answered the words.

Shen Chuhan also nodded, his expression still calm.

The people below hurriedly echoed, shouting long live.

Song Qinghuan frowned.

What did Emperor Zhao mean by these words?
Continuing to be his right-hand man, Zhaodi said so, clearly putting Shen Chuhan and Junche in the same position, today he just expressed his support for Shen Chuhan, but now he suddenly said this, what is he trying to do?
Song Qinghuan was somewhat confused about Emperor Zhao's intentions.

Looking up at Shen Chuhan, he saw that his expression was as indifferent as water, and his eyes were covered with a layer of faint frost, as if he was not affected by Emperor Zhaocai's words just now.

Song Qinghuan couldn't hold back a bit, and quietly said through sound transmission, "Ashu, what does Emperor Zhao mean by these words?"

Shen Chuhan hooked the corners of his lips sarcastically, and played with the cup in his hand. After a while, his deep and magnetic voice came to Song Qinghuan's ears, "It's very simple, he's telling everyone that he doesn't plan to establish a crown prince in a short time. .”

Song Qinghuan was shocked.

Don't plan to establish a crown prince?It turns out that what Emperor Zhao said just now meant this?

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that Shen Chuhan's guess is very reasonable.

For Emperor Zhao, as long as he maintains the current state of mutual checks and balances between Jun Che and Shen Chuhan, he will be the biggest beneficiary.

Both of them wanted to show themselves in front of him, and they would do their best in political affairs, but because of the restraint of the other party, it was impossible for their power to expand too quickly.

In this way, Emperor Zhao's position is still firm and unshakable, and there is no need to worry about Shen Chuhan and Jun Che's actions to usurp power.

Because no matter who has this idea, the first one who refuses to agree is the other party.

At this time, she suddenly remembered something again, and her brows frowned even tighter.

Leaning towards Shen Chuhan, he lowered his voice and asked again, "Ashu, was there an audition held in the palace last year?"

Shen Chuhan nodded calmly.

An idea suddenly appeared in Song Qinghuan's mind.

It is said that Emperor Zhao has been very fond of the beautiful women who were selected into the palace last year.As far as she knew, Emperor Zhao was not a lustful person, and in his heart, power was far more important than beauty.

Besides, those beautiful girls entered the palace last year, but they only started to favor them at this time. This timing is really too strange.

All along, they thought that the candidate for the crown prince would inevitably be chosen from among Shen Chuhan and Jun Che, but... what if Emperor Zhao had other plans?
For example, support another person to take over the position.

Because Emperor Zhao didn't value female sex, he didn't have many heirs. Apart from the few princes who died young, only Jun Che, Jun Han, Jun Xi, Jun Wan and Shen Chuhan survived to adulthood.

After Jun Han died, Jun Xi was a woman, so everyone agreed that only Jun Che and Shen Chuhan were the ones who could inherit the great line.

But everyone forgot that Emperor Zhao himself was not yet 40 years old. If he wanted to, he could have another prince.

Even, for Emperor Zhao, this is the best choice.

He can choose a few concubines with less outstanding backgrounds to favor, and once someone gives birth to a prince, it will be easy to raise him.Both Jun Che and Shen Chuhan were too difficult to control, no matter who took the crown prince's position, Emperor Zhao's position as emperor would definitely be less secure.

Instead of making them support the superiors against himself, it is better to retrain an obedient prince.

The prince is young and his mother's family is not strong, so the power will not fall aside. He, Jun Wuyin, is still the one who firmly holds the supreme power.

This, I am afraid, is Emperor Zhao's real plan.

Thinking of this, Song Qinghuan's face became more and more gloomy.

Shen Chuhan glanced at her, "What did Ah Wan think of?"

Song Qinghuan then told Shen Chuhan about her conjecture just now through sound transmission.

Shen Chuhan pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Ah Wan's words are very reasonable. I will ask someone to check on the concubine who has been favored recently. He has a good plan, but how can we do what he wants?"

Song Qinghuan nodded, feeling relieved immediately.

For some reason, to her, Shen Chuhan always had a special magical power. As long as he opened his mouth about anything, even if he was flustered, he could quickly calm down.

He has always been the big tree beside her that shelters her from wind and rain.Although she tried her best to stand side by side with him, many times, when she was aware of it or not, he still blocked a lot of wind and rain for her.

When she first got together with Shen Chuhan, because of the events of her previous life, she always cared a little bit about it, and felt that she should not hide under Shen Chuhan's protective umbrella.She was always worried that if one day he left her side, like the last time he led the army to go out, she would easily become a target for others.

But gradually she discovered that, in fact, when two people are together, there is no need to care about so much.When they are two, she can stay under his wings safely, and when they are alone, she can also fight fiercely. This is the most ideal state.

The people present were all human beings. Song Qinghuan could hear the implication behind what Emperor Zhao said, and the others naturally also sensed the clues, and not only did their hearts thump.

Jun Che lowered his head, his eyes were not bright, he only held the wine cup in his hand and swayed slightly, his eyes were shrouded in mist, and there was anger from the corners of his eyes.

Xue Yuqing looked at his sullen look, and didn't dare to show his breath.

She didn't know much about the situation in the court, but she was sensitive to the fact that the atmosphere in the palace changed as soon as Emperor Zhao's words came out, but she didn't know why.

But her previous experience told her not to disturb Jun Che when he was in a bad mood, so she kept her mouth shut knowingly, and only glanced outside the hall from time to time, guessing what Jun Wan was doing.

After Emperor Zhao finished what he said just now, he said some other gossip, covering up the topic.

Song Qinghuan was thinking about the little princess, so she didn't listen carefully.

Fortunately, Shen Xing and the wet nurse soon came back with the little Princess in their arms. Seeing that they were as usual at first sight, Song Qinghuan was relieved.

"Your Highness." The two entered the table behind her again, but Shen Xing leaned forward and called her in a low voice.

Song Qinghuan looked back.

Seeing that her eyes were fixed, she seemed to have something important to say.

"What's wrong?" She also moved back and listened.

"Just now... the servant seems to have seen Yun and Diji." Shen Xing knew that Song Qinghuan was talking about Jun Wan with Shen Chuhan just now, so he immediately told her about it.

"What?" Song Qinghuan raised his brows and looked at her suspiciously, "Where is it?"

"There was someone in the side hall just now, so the servant took Wenniang to the Qiushuang Palace not far away, and found an empty room for Wenniang to go in and feed the little princess, while the servant was guarding outside."

The Autumn Shuang Hall is a palace not far from the Jinrong Hall. Because the Jinrong Hall is the place for banquets in the palace, the Autumn Shuang Hall is usually empty for the guests attending the banquet to rest and change clothes temporarily.

"Did you see Yunhe in Qiushuang Palace?" Song Qinghuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Xing shook her head, "I didn't see it in the Qiushuang Palace, but outside the palace." She settled down and organized her words, "When the slave girl was standing outside the palace waiting for Wenniang, she suddenly saw There was a shadow flashing in front of him, it seemed that a person passed the Qiushuang Palace with lightness kung fu, and there was another person in his arms, the servant girl looked at that person as if they looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be Yun and Diji."
