Chapter 217 The Undercurrent at the New Year's Eve Banquet

Song Qinghuan frowned slightly.

Su Rao suddenly wants to toast herself, why?
Could it be... just simply want to provoke yourself?But this kind of thankless thing, if it is called Song Qingyu, it may be possible, but from Su Rao's mouth, it is really a bit suspicious.

She has never been the temperament to act quickly and act without thinking.

With a twist in his eyes, the smile on his lips became colder, and he casually glanced at Su Rao, "Is there a reason why Empress Qinshui suddenly wanted to toast me with this glass of wine?"

The light and shadow in Su Rao's eyes were a bit messy, but the smile at the corners of his eyes was just right to seduce people, and he wore a charming mask all the time, "This glass of wine is for Di Ji to make amends."

Song Qinghuan frowned, "All ears."

"I didn't intend to disrupt the wedding banquet between Diji and Shen Xiang that day. If there is any offense, please forgive me." She stared at Song Qinghuan closely, apologizing, but her eyes were full of hostility .

But no matter what, she made this low profile.

On that day, Su Rao dropped such a thought-provoking sentence at their wedding, and within half a day, it spread throughout Shengjing.Everyone is wondering if there is some unspeakable past between the three of them.

In all fairness, Song Qinghuan was a little annoyed.

But she knew that Su Rao had nothing to do with them right now, so she could only use this method to disrupt their wedding to vent her dissatisfaction.

But she suddenly came out like this again today?
"So Empress Qinshui didn't intend to disrupt the situation? I thought you would be ruined if you don't get it." Her voice was cold, with obvious displeasure.

Su Rao frowned fiercely.

She didn't expect that Song Qinghuan would still be so disrespectful to her after she had given in in advance in front of everyone.

"I won't drink this wine. In the future, Qinshui Diji should stop staring at other people's things." Song Qinghuan curled her lips coldly, and stopped looking at her.

Su Rao has the right to toast, of course, she also has the right to deny it.

In terms of status, she is comparable to Su Rao, so she doesn't need to worry about anything, so why bother to compromise?
Su Rao's face darkened.

Apparently, he didn't expect to run into a wall here with Song Qinghuan. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Song Qinghuan closely, "Wuyang Diji doesn't give me face?"

Song Qinghuan glanced at her, "I thought Empress Qinshui was a sensible person. Today is the New Year's Eve banquet, not my wedding banquet. Empress Qinshui still wants to hold me hard? If that's the case, I doubt it. Did Shui Diji come to apologize sincerely, or did she come here again to make me feel uncomfortable?!"

Her pupils were pitch black, but her eyes were pitch black and cold.

Such a tough attitude surprised everyone.

Everyone knew that she was the one who won the Cangxie Sword, but since coming to Liangguo, Song Qinghuan has been keeping a low profile, and people's impression of her is only her amazing appearance, but they don't think that she has such a On the cold side, with such an expression, it was exactly the same as Shen Xiang.

Curious and surprised at the same time, all eyes were on Song Qinghuan.

Su Rao's face turned even darker.

As soon as Song Qinghuan said this, it seemed that she was a bit of a nonsense. If she continued to talk, it would only be annoying.This is in Liangguo's territory, she better restrain herself, no matter what, she still has to rely on Emperor Liang to find Kuyeqing.

Reluctantly hiding all the resentment in his heart, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since Empress Wuyang won't give me this face, then... I'll force it."

As he spoke, he squeezed the wine glass in his hand vigorously, his expression became more and more gloomy.

Originally wanted to force her to drink, but she sent her back with a few words.However, her strong words were only due to Shen Chuhan's status in Liang Country.

only--

She glanced at Yin Zhan's direction thoughtfully.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?Shen Chuhan is so powerful in Liang Country, how could Yin Zhan tolerate him for too long?
Although she likes Shen Chuhan, she hates Song Qinghuan even more.As long as Shen Chuhan is dealt with by Yin Zhan, will Song Qinghuan and others still be a problem?

Thinking about it this way, I finally felt a little more at ease.

However, I was really unwilling to force Song Qinghuan's words out.

At this time, Yin Zhan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his eyes, his sharp and scrutinizing eyes wandered for a moment in front of Song Qinghuan and Su Rao, then he suddenly opened his mouth, raised the wine cup in front of him and said, "Both of you are from our Liang country. My honored guests, I won’t mention the past, come, let me respect you with this glass of wine. After drinking this glass of wine, for my sake, it will be regarded as turning hostility into friendship.”

Shen Chuhan's eyes turned cold, and he raised his head to look at Yin Zhan, "Ah Wan is not good at drinking, so this wine, Your Highness, I should drink it for her."

His voice was always cold, but the word "A Wan" was called out by him with a lingering and gentle meaning. Hearing it in everyone's ears, he felt more and more the weight of Song Qinghuan in Shen Chuhan's heart. The good-natured person also lowered his head at this time, fearing that he would be caught on fire.

Yin Zhan frowned almost invisibly, his hands were fixed in the air, he didn't speak, he just looked straight into Shen Chuhan's eyes, as if he wanted to see something.

Su Rao rolled her eyes and said "Hey" suddenly, "Diji Wuyang is not good at drinking? How could I remember that Diji Wuyang really likes to drink." To her, Song Qinghuan was a thorn in her side. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your friends can you win a hundred battles, so she specially ordered someone to check Song Qinghuan's information carefully.

Without waiting for Shen Chuhan or Song Qinghuan to speak, she suddenly sneered, and looked closely at Song Qinghuan's cold side face, "In the end... Is it because I'm not good at drinking? Or because I don't want to drink?"

Her tone of voice was somewhat meaningful, as if implying something.

Yin Zhan's expression became more and more unhappy.

No matter what, he is the king, and Shen Chuhan is the minister.How could he not be annoyed by not giving him face so much in front of everyone, and then thinking of Shen Chuhan's constraints on him in the court, his face darkened, and he put the wine cup on the long table heavily.

The wine splashed out, and everyone's hearts jumped.

Yin Qingrong turned pale even more, and stared at Yin Zhan without blinking, fearing that the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart would burst out in the next moment.

At this very moment, someone Qingqing Lingling suddenly opened his mouth.

It's Song Qinghuan.

She played with the empty wine cup in her hand, glanced at Su Rao, and then looked back at Yin Zhan, "Diji Qinshui is right, it's really inconvenient for me to drink."

With the word "inconvenient", Yin Zhan's eyes covered with icy scum immediately shot at him, "Maybe Empress Wuyang speak more clearly?"

Song Qinghuan turned her eyes to look at Shen Chuhan, and blinked her eyelashes.

Shen Chuhan understood, and took over the conversation coldly, "Your Majesty, Ah Wan is pregnant, so she is not suitable for drinking."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Su Rao's eyes suddenly became sharp, piercing towards Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan inconceivably, feeling a dull pain in her heart.Song Qinghuan, she... She is indeed pregnant.

It's just that she originally wanted to make a fuss about this matter, but when Shen Chuhan said it so frankly, she couldn't help but hesitate a bit.

Yin Zhan was also stunned for a moment, and Fang regained his sanity, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't find out what was in his heart at all.

The muscles under his eyes trembled, and he forced out a smile, "Diji Wuyang is pregnant? Congratulations! Xiang Chen is really lucky."

As a result, there was a sound of echoing in the field, but the expressions on everyone's faces were not the same, and the atmosphere became quiet and a bit weird.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of "Congratulations", a cold and slightly hoarse voice suddenly interjected, "Emperor Wuyang is pregnant? But, didn't you and Shen Xiang just get married?"

Song Qinghuan looked back and saw that Su Rao was looking at her triumphantly, with a curious expression on her face.

She suddenly realized.

It turned out that Su Rao had this idea!
She and Shen Chuhan have only been married for about twenty days, even if she was conceived on the wedding night in the bridal chamber, it is unlikely to be diagnosed after more than 20 days.Su Rao just wanted to use this matter to make a fuss and tarnish her reputation outside.

However, Liang's national style is more open than the other three countries, and she doesn't care what others think of her, so as long as Yin Zhan doesn't have any thoughts, this matter has no threat to her at all.

It's just that having said that, it doesn't mean that she will suffer this blow in vain.

Raising her brows, her voice became colder, "Has Emperor Qinshui forgotten what happened at the Sword Seizing Conference in Lindu?"

Su Rao frowned, a bad premonition rose in her heart.

"What happened at the Sword Seizing Conference?" Yin Zhan stared straight at her with dark currents in his eyes.

"It's nothing, it's just that Emperor Qinshui used some tricks. I thought I...in the end, it made me and Ah Chu..." There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and Lingling's eyes fell lazily on On Su Rao's face, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Although what she said was cryptic, none of the people present was a human being. After thinking about it twice carefully, they figured out the hidden meaning in it.

Underhand means...

Originally thought of myself...

Coupled with what Qinshui Diji said at Shen Xiang's wedding banquet a few days ago, everyone immediately made up a big drama.

Probably Qinshui Diji likes Shen Xiang, but Shen Xiang only has Wuyang Diji in his eyes. Qinshui Diji can't ask for it, but she is not reconciled, so she wants to drug Shen Xiang, trying to cook cooked rice, but I don't know why , Going just fulfilled the marriage contract between Shen Xiang and Wuyang Diji at that time.

As a result, the focus on the field shifted from Song Qinghuan's pregnancy to Su Rao's unscrupulous temperament to achieve her goals, and she looked at Su Rao with a bit of guard.

Su Rao was so angry, "You..."

Before the words could be uttered, Song Qinghuan blocked his throat, "What about me? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"I clearly want you and Xuan Ying..." Su Rao lost her sense of control when she pressed her every step of the way, and blurted out the words choked in her throat.

Song Qinghuan smiled wickedly, "So, you admit that you drugged me then?"

"I..." Su Rao was annoyed, and belatedly realized that she had fallen into Song Qinghuan's trap, and her face was red and purple all of a sudden, very ugly.

"Okay." Yin Zhan had watched enough of the drama, seeing that Su Rao's aura was completely suppressed by Song Qinghuan, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he finally said in a deep voice, "Today is the New Year's Eve banquet, and Empress Wuyang is pregnant again. Good thing, everyone is happy, let's enjoy the New Year's Eve banquet tonight."

As he said that, he winked at the servant who was waiting by his side.

The waiter understood, and clapped his hands in the air.

Soon, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music resounded in the hall. Accompanied by the music, a dancer with a voluptuous figure entered the hall with a twisted body, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yin Zhan was obviously acting in a friendly manner. Although the others became more and more curious because of this breaking news, it was difficult to show it. They suppressed the exuberant curiosity in their hearts and turned their attention to watching the wonderful dance performance in the hall.

Seeing everyone's eyes gradually withdraw, Song Qinghuan took a sip of the tea cup calmly, looked at Shen Chuhan, and smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't discuss it with you in advance..."

"It's nothing." Shen Chuhan stroked her hair, "It's fine this way, everyone knows you're pregnant, and they probably think twice before trying to target you. As for that..." He glanced at Su Rao's side with a look on his face There was a sudden chill, "I think she has to deal with it as soon as possible."

Keeping Su Rao in the world is a disaster after all. On this point, Song Qinghuan quite agrees with Shen Chuhan's thoughts, "Yeah" and said in a low voice, "Now we know the purpose of her coming to Shengjing, but it's useless to keep her. .”

"Wait until tomorrow, I'll let Xuan Ying make arrangements."

The sound of singing, dancing and instrumental music is endless, and the dancers are changing gracefully in the hall, which deeply attracts everyone's attention.

However, the protagonists of the New Year's Eve banquet were not looking at the enchanting dancers in the arena, but were somewhat absent-minded.

Song Qinghuan covered his face with his sleeves, and looked up at Yin Zhan calmly.

What he did just now was clearly to use Su Rao's hand to suppress himself and Shen Chuhan, but seeing that Su Rao's method didn't work, he hurriedly came out and made a few words of sloppy words, and dismissed the matter.

I don't know about him, what is he thinking?

Sure enough, Yin Zhan's eyes were not on the field, but——

Looking in the direction where Yin Zhan's line of sight was fixed, Song Qinghuan couldn't help being slightly stunned, staring at the person who appeared in his line of sight, with puzzlement flashing in his eyes.

What does Yin Zhan see him doing?
She thought she was wrong, and under the cover of the wide sleeves, she pretended to drink tea and observed Yin Zhan carefully for a moment.Seeing this, there was a strange feeling in my heart.

She was not mistaken just now, Yin Zhan was really looking at someone—Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo didn't watch the dance either, but poured and drank alone, which seemed a bit out of place in such a lively and noisy atmosphere.The flickering light hit his face, making his eyebrows and eyes more delicate.

On weekdays, despite the murderous aura brought about by fighting on the battlefield, Xiao Zhuo is also a young master.

Because of this, many young ladies who followed the court officials couldn't help but look at him, their eyes were shining bright red.

But also understandable.

Originally, before Shen Chuhan got married, he was the number one candidate for the noble daughter Ruyi in Beijing, but now that Shen Chuhan is married, and he has shown such affection for him in front of others, others know that they have no chance, so they have to choose another son-in-law.

Naturally, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Zhuo.

Although Yin Zhan is also a man of the right age, he has a dark temper after all, and entering the palace is not an easy task after all, so Xiao Zhuo has become the most popular candidate for the son-in-law in the palace.

It is understandable for those young ladies to stare at Xiao Zhuo, but why is Yin Zhan looking at him so directly?
The reason why Yin Zhan asked Xiao Zhuo to return to Beijing... Could it be because she and Shen Chuhan guessed it?
Thinking of this, she signaled Shen Chuhan to get closer, "Last time you asked Xuanying to investigate the matter of the Royal Forest Army in the palace, is there anything to follow?"

Shen Chuhan nodded, "I just got the news yesterday. But recently, several batches of imperial guards disappeared inexplicably from the palace. It seems that our guess is indeed correct."

Song Qinghuan nodded.

Su Rao's move of exchanging Qing Yuanguo and Yin Zhan for Withered Yeqing must have been discussed before coming to Shengjing.Yin Zhan didn't have Dead Leaf Green in his hands, so he would definitely send someone to the northern border to look for it.

Counting the days, it is probably just enough to go back and forth quickly.

But Su Rao is still sitting here with a veil on her face, but none of the imperial forest soldiers who were sent out came back. It seems that it is not so easy to find Dead Yeqing.

and this--

Probably the reason why Yin Zhan called Xiao Zhuo back to Beijing urgently.

He wanted to send Xiao Zhuo to find Dead Ye Qing.

Withered leaf green is a elixir, not something that can be obtained easily. Since the imperial forest army sent out has been wiped out, Yin Zhan can only turn his attention to Xiao Zhuo, who is very skilled and seems to have nothing to do with Shen Chuhan. .

My heart sank slightly, and I looked at Yin Zhan calmly.

If Yin Zhan really gave Xiao Zhuo an order, Xiao Zhuo would definitely not be able to refuse.At that time, Yin Zhan will take advantage of this time to insert his confidants in the military camp, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, her eyes flicked on her face inadvertently, but she was slightly stunned.

Because she saw Yin Zhan looking at Xiao Zhuo with strange eyes.

His expression seemed to be a little confused, his eyes were dark and dark, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

This expression...

Song Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, his heart stopped suddenly.
