Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 163 You make me very conflicted!
The queen was slapped in public, and she was on pins and needles. However, her status as the mother of the world required her to maintain dignity and dignity at all times, which made her face so dark that it seemed like it could drip water. She looked at Yu Qinghuan with cold eyes, wishing she could Yu Qinghuan was crushed to death, and she didn't understand how a little concubine could attract the Queen Mother, King Qi, and the eldest princess to protect her.

She must kill this arrogant thing!
The Queen Mother gave Princess Zhenli a few words and then sent her to find the eldest princess. Then she sent Jingxin to Chang Sun Tao and asked: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked you where you feel unwell, is it important?"

Changsun Tao said: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for your concern. My king is not seriously ill."

Jingxin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, mother and son are connected. The pain in my son's body is in my mother's heart. Your safety and health are the best comfort to the Queen Mother. Please take care of yourself, and if you need anything, please contact the Queen Mother." speak."

Changsun Tao nodded and said no more.

Yu Qinghuan was silent. She felt that the Queen Mother's concern for Changsun Tao was a little awkward and deliberate, not like the natural relationship between mother and son, and she felt even more strange in her heart.

At this time, in order to ease the tense atmosphere caused by the little episode just now, the emperor announced that the dinner party had officially begun. The palace ladies in green and red clothes filed in carrying delicacies, and there were even well-trained actors dancing. There was a scene of singing and dancing.

In order to cooperate with the emperor, most people smiled vigorously, exaggeratedly and falsely, hypocritically and flatteringly.

Yu Qinghuan had a faint smile on his lips, and his heart was full of sarcasm and contempt - a plague broke out in Qizhou, but the court turned a blind eye. In order to catch a group of unidentified thieves, he actually sacrificed the entire population of Pingcheng, and now the plague has It calmed down, but I felt that their blessings had blessed the people of Qizhou. They were singing and dancing, changing cups and cups, and it was so unpleasant, as if they were the gods who saved the world!
How can there be such disgusting people in the world?

Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel like poking her eyes, and she lost her appetite for the table full of delicacies. Finally, she turned around and asked: "King Qi, when Qizhou is in trouble, the more than 20 doctors and the people have been through thick and thin. After the matter is completely over, are you ready?" what to do?"

Changsun Tao said: "I have made a good greeting to Bai Li and will meet all their needs. If they want to pursue unremitting pursuits in medicine, the Bai family will provide them with conditions. If they want to revitalize their family shop, I will provide them with the conditions." I will provide them with resources in my own name. If they want their descendants to take the imperial examination, I will recommend them to study at the Royal Academy and then directly participate in the examination."

Yu Qing said with a smile: "In this world, there are always a group of people who give silently, and there is always a need for someone who is grateful for their silent efforts. King Qi, you are really an upright man, just like those great heroes described in folk tales. Justice is awe-inspiring and right and wrong are clear.”

"I know how good I am, no... I don't need your praise." Changsun Tao took a few sips of the cup of tea, and finally turned his head back unnaturally.

From Yu Qinghuan's perspective, you can see a slight blush at the base of his ears. Yu Qinghuan obviously didn't drink, but she felt drunk.

After going through a formality, the banquet reached its final stage. Emperor Jiayou told everyone to do whatever they wanted, so everyone held their cups and went to connect with people they knew.

"It seems that we are not going to talk about business today." Yu Qinghuan felt a little greedy when she smelled the wine on the table. However, her "birth mother had recently lost her mother" and it was not suitable to drink in public. She tried her best to restrain her desire to drink, otherwise she would be sensitive. Changsun Tao, for example, would definitely be able to find clues. Although she had conveyed the truth to him in a dark way, it did not mean that she was not conflicted at this time.

On the one hand, she hopes that Chang Sun Tao will understand the truth and stay away from her, but on the other hand, she is afraid that Chang Sun Tao will be discovered by Yu Qian after knowing the truth.

Changsun Tao saw that she, who had always been an alcoholic, did not drink at all. His eyes flashed slightly and he replied: "It's not time to settle the general accounts yet. The purpose of holding this dinner is to appease the people and give Qizhou a clear name." After finishing this matter, whether it is rewards based on merit or punishment according to law, they will be kept private." Yu Qinghuan was a little worried: "So, will the death of Captain Lin affect you?"

Changsun Tao said: "No, the higher-ups are hoping that Northern Qi will take the blame for him. After all, if we really want to dig deeper, Pingcheng was sealed off, the dozens of soldiers who died in Pingcheng, and Lin Xiaowei led his troops to kill each other, all of them will be revealed one by one. If you pull a shocking case, the boss won’t be that stupid!”

Yu Qinghuan lowered his eyelids: "My grandfather hopes that I can rescue my father, let him get rid of the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, and return to the Yu family safely."

Hearing what Yu Qinghuan said, Changsun Tao's eyes were slightly startled, and he asked: "Then what kind of result do you hope to get?"

Yu Qinghuan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I have no father-daughter relationship with him, but my biological mother has just died, and if something happens to my father, then I will definitely not be able to escape the fate of my parents."

Even the royal family is taboo about punishing their parents. Although she married into Prince Qi's palace, she can be divorced at any time if she is charged with such a "crime". Who said she is a woman?

In today's Great Qin, if men were described as like the sky, women would just come and go, dispensable white clouds that could only exist depending on the sky.

Changsun Tao withdrew his gaze and put it on the cup in front of him: "Don't worry, your father's collusion with the enemy is a matter of fiction. The Ministry of Punishment is not a decoration, and it will not be able to find out this."

Hearing such an answer, Yu Qinghuan not only felt no joy, but was tortured by a deep sense of guilt.

She should not test Chang Sun Tao's attitude towards this matter, nor should she take advantage of Chang Sun Tao... Yu Qinghuan believed that she had always been selfish, but when she met Chang Sun Tao, she would always make exceptions again and again.

For her, there are exceptions to everything, and Chang Sun Tao is that exception.

Just as Yu Qinghuan was about to say something, several military generals came to propose a toast to Chang Sun Tao. Since Chang Sun Tao had always been friendly with the military officials in the court, he could not refuse and reached out to pick up the wine glass.

Yu Qinghuan held down his hand, then raised a cup of tea, touched the wine glasses of the generals, and drank from the glasses: "Your Majesty is not feeling well and should not drink alcohol. Please allow me to offer you tea instead of wine." .”

Literati are people who hold pens, so their minds are as small as the pen barrels. Military generals are people who hold swords, so most of them have very straightforward personalities. Seeing Yu Qinghuan's behavior, he did not jump up and accuse her of being disrespectful like an old pedant with a sour smell. He understands the rules, but instead teases Changsun Tao about "strict control over his wife."

Changsun Tao let out a long sigh: "The princess is young, so I have to give way to her."
