"Since Miss Shen can't make a choice, then she can join our family in the palace!"

After saying this, the father-in-law turned around and left.

Biyun was worried in her heart. She tugged on Shen Chenbi's sleeves and whispered: "I'm going to find the prince. Miss, please hold me back first!"

Saying this, Biyun ran away.

Shen Chenbi pulled her back and shook his head, "No need! This trip is dangerous, so you can stay!"

After saying this, she left with her father-in-law.

Since the emperor could let her make a decision openly, Ye Xuanchen must have been called away by the emperor.

Now, all she can do is delay time and come up with a perfect solution in this short time!
Seeing Shen Chenbi leave Shen Mansion, Biyun was so anxious that she stamped her feet, but she couldn't think of a way.

Not long after, Shen Chenbi arrived in front of the emperor.

The father-in-law whispered something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's eyes fell leisurely on Shen Chenbi.

"Miss Shen is a smart person and should know what to do!"

After hearing this, Shen Chenbi's heart skipped a beat, lowered his eyebrows, and responded softly: "In this case, I naturally choose to protect myself!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor smiled a bit, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and even contained a bit of murderous intent.

I saw the emperor warning Shen Chenbi, "What tricks will Miss Shen have to play in front of me!"

Hearing this, Shen Chenbi pursed her lips and replied, "Yes."

There were guards standing outside the royal study room. No matter what, she might not be able to escape today.

Unexpectedly, what she said in the past hit the nail on the head.

Shen Chenbi curled his lips in self-mockery.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly walked in from the door.

She knew this man very well.

It was Ye Xuanchen who was in a hurry.

Seeing Shen Chenbi here, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

"The King of Chu is here!" Seeing Ye Xuanchen coming, the emperor greeted him calmly.

At the same time, he also signaled Shen Chenbi with his eyes.

Shen Chenbi naturally understood what he meant, and just pretended not to see it, standing still in place.

"Miss Shen brought a pot of good wine and asked me to taste it. But by coincidence, I have been in poor health these days and I really can't drink. How about King Chu taste it for me?"

Seeing that Shen Chenbi was indifferent, the emperor had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.

After saying this, he said to Shen Chenbi with a slight threat: "Xu'er, hurry up and pour the wine!"

For a moment, Shen Chenbi had no choice but to slowly pick up the jug beside him, pour a glass of poisonous wine out, then pick up the wine glass and walk towards Ye Xuanchen.

Just when she was about to reach Ye Xuanchen, Shen Chenbi's index finger tapped the wall of the wine glass slightly from an angle that the emperor could not see.

The emperor was a little further away, so he naturally didn't see this subtle movement.

But Ye Xuanchen noticed it.

Shen Chenbi stepped forward, handed the wine glass in his hand to Ye Xuanchen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please taste it!" Hearing this, Ye Xuanchen took the wine glass from her hand and sniffed lightly at the rim of the glass.

This move made Shen Chenbi's heart rise to his throat.

The emperor's eyes also shone with excitement.

Ye Xuanchen naturally took in all this. He nodded and sighed: "It is indeed a rare and good wine. It is a pity that the emperor cannot taste it."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's the same thing for King Chu to taste it for me!" The emperor squeezed out a smile from his face and stared at him intently. His purpose was not to be too obvious.

Suddenly, Ye Xuanchen raised the cup in his hand.

The emperor thought he was going to drink it, but he never thought about it. The next moment, Ye Xuanchen poured the poisonous wine in the cup on the emperor and snorted coldly, "Good wine should be given to heroes. This cup of wine should be given to Duke Shen on behalf of the emperor." !”

Originally, the emperor was a little angry because of his actions, but as soon as these words came out, an imperceptible panic flashed across the emperor's face, as if he understood the meaning of his words.

But soon, the emperor calmed down and questioned Ye Xuanchen with a cold face.

"What does King Chu mean by this? Although you have military merit, is it too much to be so rude to me?"

After hearing this, Ye Xuanchen smiled instead of being angry, staring straight at the emperor, and asked: "Does the emperor think that this glass of wine should not be a tribute to Duke Shen? Duke Shen has guarded the country for the emperor for half his life, and in the end he ended up with nothing. All the people in the world feel sorry for Mr. Shen because of his tragic death. It is appropriate for the emperor to propose not only a glass of wine but also a pot of wine."

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious, except that the death of Shen Guogong was related to the emperor.

Once this matter spreads out, the emperor's hypocritical face will be revealed. By then, the people will complain, the courtiers will be afraid, and Huang Wei may not be able to sit for a long time.

Ye Xuanchen must know something!
Impossible. He did this very covertly, so how could Ye Xuanchen find out the evidence?
But regardless of whether he has evidence or not, he definitely can’t stay!

This time, the emperor felt a little scared.

But Ye Xuanchen's martial arts was so strong that he couldn't surrender, so he looked at Shen Chenbi beside him.

The expression on the emperor's face gradually turned sinister, and he ordered the guards on the side, "Come here, pour some wine for Miss Shen! Since even Duke Shen has paid respects, Miss Shen should also drink with you."

The guard on the side did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly poured a glass and handed it into Shen Chenbi's hand.

Shen Chenbi took it and stared straight at the glass of poisonous wine in front of him.

While she was struggling, Ye Xuanchen snatched it away.

Shen Chenbi was shocked because he wanted to drink for her, so she quickly stopped her, "No!"

But Ye Xuanchen ignored her at all, and raised the wine in his hand again, looking directly at the emperor, "This glass of wine is dedicated to my father. My father has devoted his life to his duties and worked hard to maintain the peace of the two countries. Without my father, If we mediate among them, I’m afraid that Daxia has long been conquered by the Yun Kingdom, so this glass of wine should be toasted!”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face turned a little pale.

He was even more certain in his heart that Ye Xuanchen might have started to investigate a long time ago, otherwise how could he possibly know everything? !

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly slumped down in his chair, with a look of decadence on his face.

"What? The emperor is not feeling well? Or is it because the emperor did not drink good wine and feels regretful?" Ye Xuan was obsessed, looking at the emperor with red eyes, revealing murderous intent.

The emperor opened his lips, and after a long time he uttered a sound, with a wry smile on his face, "King Chu was joking, I just suddenly felt unwell. I'm afraid it will disturb everyone's enjoyment today, so I'd better wait for another day to drink." Drink more!"

After hearing this, Ye Xuanchen's face didn't look much better.

He stretched out his cold hand, pulled Shen Chenbi to his side, and saluted the emperor, "In this way, I will not disturb the emperor! Farewell!"

After saying this, he turned around and left with Shen Chenbi.
