Chapter 53 Or, should I call you Emperor Ji?
A few more days passed.

Emperor Yu had just finished his morning court, when he heard his servant come to report to Prime Minister Shen for an audience, he paused while changing his dragon robe, and frowned.

"Where is Prime Minister Shen now?"

"We have arrived at the Nanhua Gate of the Inner Dynasty." The servant replied.

Emperor Yu changed into his ordinary clothes, and the palace maid helped him straighten his clothes, her brows furrowed even more.

"Zhong Huai, you went to Sifang Pavilion that day, did you see Prime Minister Shen?" He turned his head to look at Zhong Huai.

Zhong Huai took two steps forward, and bowed, "If you go back to the emperor, when the slave went to the Sifang Pavilion that day, Prime Minister Shen came out to greet him in person."

"What's his attitude?"

"Shen Xiang looked a little weak, but his attitude was respectful, and he asked the servant to thank the emperor for his concern."

"Hmm." Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the servant who reported the letter, "President Shen, please come to Chengming Hall."

"No." The waiter backed down.

Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhong Huai, "Let's go, follow me to Chengming Palace."

The Chengming Hall is also located in the Jianzhang Palace, where Emperor Yu handled the memorials and summoned the ministers on weekdays, not far from the Xuanshi Hall.

As soon as he took his seat in the hall, he saw a person coming here led by the servant from a distance.

The visitor was tall and tall, dressed in a heavy purple flowing brocade robe, with a sapphire belt around his waist, and the sleeves fluttered lightly, creating a breeze.

It was Shen Chuhan.

The servant led Shen Chuhan to the gate of Chengming Hall, bowed, and invited Shen Chuhan to enter.

Shen Chuhan nodded slightly, and walked into the hall without haste.

A gust of wind blew up his wide sleeves. Under the sun, the silver-white ripples of flowing clouds and water loomed, very delicate.

Emperor Yu's eyes paused on his cuffs, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

Unlike Yu Kingdom, which respects bright yellow, the color of Liang Kingdom's royal family is silver.In order to avoid taboo, ordinary people seldom use silver on clothing.But Shen Chuhan is so blatant, it seems that Shen Chuhan's status in Liang Country is higher than he thought.

Emperor Yu calmly closed his eyes, moved his gaze upwards, and landed on his slightly pale face.

His eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, his face is exquisite, his thin lips are slightly curved, and he has an indescribably elegant appearance.Only the pair of deep pupils like lacquer dots, like a century-old cold pool, are deep and indistinguishable, revealing the coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Before this, Emperor Yu had never met Shen Chuhan, but only heard people talk about how iron-blooded and ruthless Prime Minister Shen of the Liang Kingdom was, how he blazed a trail for Yin Zhan in the tragic battle for the heir apparent.

He also knew that Shen Chuhan was still young, but he didn't expect that besides being young, he was also so... handsome.

"Shen has met Emperor Yu." Shen Chuhan stood still and saluted Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu came back to his senses, walked down the high steps quickly, with a friendly smile on his face, "President Chen is here, hurry up, your body is just right, sit down quickly."

Zhong Huai hurried forward and led Shen Chuhan to his seat.

Shen Chuhan nodded his thanks and sat down.

Emperor Yu also sat down, looked at Shen Chuhan, with a smile on his face, "Is Prime Minister Shen feeling better?"

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, it's much better."

"That's good." Emperor Yu seemed to heave a sigh of relief, paused, apologetic, "I have been busy with government affairs these few days, and I haven't had time to visit Prime Minister Shen, yet I taught Prime Minister Shen to enter the palace in person."

"Your Majesty is being polite." Shen Chuhan bowed his hands.Although his mouth was polite, his expression was indifferent, and Emperor Yu looked at it, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know why Prime Minister Shen entered the palace today?" The smile on the corner of his mouth also faded.

"I don't know how the emperor's investigation of the mission's assassination case is going?"

Emperor Yu frowned slightly, and said haha, "I have already sent people to investigate this case, I believe there will be a result soon." Meng Qi investigated for a few days, but there was no progress, and was killed by Shen Chuhan and the others that day. No clues could be found on the dead man in black, and the case fell into a stalemate for a while.

But of course, he couldn't say this to Shen Chuhan, so as not to be suspected of being ineffective in arresting the murderer.If it affects the diplomatic relations that the two countries have finally established, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"It seems... there is no progress yet." Shen Chuhan's tone was calm, and his expression was still dull, but it made Emperor Yu feel terrified.

Emperor Yu was startled suddenly.

It's just the prime minister of a country, and he's so young, where does this awe-inspiring aura come from?It almost made him lose his sense of proportion!
After settling his mind, his tone was slightly lowered, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Shen, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

Shen Chuhan raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yu, but suddenly changed the subject.

"The Liang country mission was originally scheduled to leave in ten days."

Emperor Yu thumped slightly.

Originally scheduled?

Could there be another disturbance?
"My emperor attaches great importance to this marriage with your country, and specially sent Shen to come here. I didn't want to but encountered this. My emperor was furious when he learned about it, and once wanted to cancel the marriage with your country." He glanced at Yu. The emperor's expression said, "However, Shen feels that if this matter is a personal grievance, it has nothing to do with your country. If it is a public enmity, it is more like an act of sabotage by other countries because they are jealous of the relationship between you and me."

Emperor Yu smiled dryly, "Shen Xiang is a sensible person."

"So Shen persuaded my emperor, and the mission still followed the original plan, and took Anyang Diji back to Liang ten days later."

Emperor Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to express his thanks, but Shen Chuhan's cold voice sounded again, "However, Shen will stay in Jian'an for a while until the person behind the case is found out."

The heat is hot, the sun is gradually rising, and the dazzling sunlight shines in. Emperor Yu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly felt a burst of irritability in his heart.

At this point, he had no choice but to agree.Otherwise, it may be difficult to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"Okay." Staring at Shen Chuhan for a moment, he finally nodded and responded gloomily.

At this time, Song Qinghuan was bringing Shen Xing and Liu Yuexing to the Nanhua Gate.

Here, a harnessed carriage was waiting for them.

After Song Qinghuan and Shen Xing got into the carriage and sat down firmly, Liu Yue raised the whip, and the carriage drove towards the city quickly.

Not far away, under the city wall, there was still an inconspicuous carriage parked.As soon as Song Qinghuan's carriage left, the "coach driver" who was leaning against the wall and dozing off suddenly raised his head, and glanced in the direction of the carriage, a flash of light flew across his eyes.

Liu Yue drove the carriage all the way to the gate of Qianzhan Pavilion before stopping.

Qianzhan Pavilion is as lively as ever.

Song Qinghuan got out of the carriage, waited for Liuyue to park the carriage, and led the two of them towards the building.

"A room in the Accord." Song Qinghuan instructed the Xiaoer who came up to him with ease.

"Okay, one room in Yage, please go upstairs to guest officials." He said, leading Song Qinghuan and the others upstairs.

She was free to come here today, apparently to thank Gong Ling for her previous help, but in fact she wanted to get to know Gong Ling's bottom line.She always felt that there was some vague connection between Gong Ling, or Gong Ling's mother, and the concubine.

Before reaching the second floor, they felt that someone was watching them at the stairs.

Sweeping away from the corner of the eye, I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart.

How did you meet him again?This man is really lingering!
Song Qinghuan didn't want to deal with him, she lowered her head slightly, followed behind Xiao Er, turned her body slightly, and walked past the man with normal expression.

"Miss Qin."

The moment they passed by, a joking voice wafted into their ears.

Song Qinghuan frowned, but kept walking.But I heard a clear voice coming from my ears, "Or, should I call you Emperor Ji?"
