Chapter 218 You are the only person I can trust (Part [-])
The light in those eyes flickered, reminding her of the eyes of those young ladies from aristocratic families looking at Xiao Zhuo, with shining stars in their eyes.

That is the look in the eyes of the person you like.

Is it—

A thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and she was slightly startled.

She had heard about the prevalence of masculinity in Liang Country for a long time, but she hadn't taken it to heart.But the way Yin Zhan looked at Xiao Zhuo just now was clearly not like the normal way a king would look at his subjects.

Could it be that Yin Zhan is also masculine?

However, Song Qinghuan frowned, and his eyes fell on Song Qingyu who was beside him.

Song Qingyu was bored, when suddenly he felt a gaze, and turned his gaze to look at Song Qinghuan again. Seeing that it was Song Qinghuan, he frowned fiercely, and there was a glint of prey in his eyes, looking at Song Qinghuan as if he wanted to eat her.

Song Qinghuan didn't take it seriously, and lowered her head, but she was thinking of another layer.

With Song Qingyu's temperament, if Yin Zhan was really masculine and never touched her, she would definitely not be as arrogant as she is now.

Just thinking about it seriously, it doesn't mean anything.

Yin Zhan is the king of a country, even if he really likes men, he probably won't let others see it, otherwise how can he sit on the throne securely?Maybe those concubines in the harem were just a cover, that's why he has kept the harem vacant, and he hasn't held a draft for several years since he took the throne?

Or, is he bisexual?This is not impossible.

The thoughts in his head were a little complicated for a while, and he lowered his head with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Shen Chuhan looked at her warmly when he saw that her expression was different.

Song Qinghuan shook his head, "Go back and tell you."

There are many people here, and what she wants to say is such explosive news, it's better to be cautious.

He raised his eyes again and looked at Xiao Zhuo who was unaware.

He is playing with the wine cup in his hand, his eyebrows are lowered, even though he is far away, he seems to still be able to see the long eyelashes under him, his appearance is clear and clean, and he has a kind of deep water on his body like a deep pool after taking off his military uniform Qingzhuo temperament.

In the arena, the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music was overwhelming, jewels and emeralds jingled, and brocades were like clouds, but his whole body seemed to be covered with a cold mist, which was thin and moving, like a clear and meaningful ink painting.

It is indeed a dazzling presence in the crowd.

If he knew that Yin Zhan had taken a fancy to him, how complicated and astonished would he feel?
Seeing Song Qinghuan looking at Xiao Zhuo, Shen Chuhan followed suit.

He took a look, looked away, and looked thoughtfully at Song Qinghuan's slightly frowning eyes, without asking any more questions.

can.

Su Rao next to him didn't seem to want to cleanse him.

"Master Shen." She opened her mouth in a cool voice, looking over with bright eyes.

Su Rao has a pair of charming peach eyes, and knows how to make her eyes look innocent and charming.

Shen Chuhan's breath sank, and he turned his head to look, his face was full of depression.

"What else is there? In reality, endurance is limited." There was a layer of cold frost between his brows and eyes, and his eyes were full of disgust when he looked at Su Rao.

Su Rao's heart stabbed, and the autumn water already floated in his eyes.

"Does Prime Minister Shen hate me that much? I... What did I do wrong?" At this time, she lost all her usual amorous feelings, and only saw waves of water in her eyes, coupled with a slightly crying voice. Yes, I'm so sorry.

It's a pity that Shen Chuhan is not an ordinary person, and he doesn't like her.

"Yes." He nodded indifferently, "It's very annoying, so you'd better not provoke me and A Wan again."

Ah Wan!Ah Wan!It's Ah Wan again!

Resentment flashed across the eyes, the drooping eyes were lowered, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was already a pitiful expression on the face.

"I... I see..." She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I won't bother you anymore."

The end is a thoroughly figured out appearance.

But the hostility in his eyes surged layer upon layer, eerie and terrifying.

Shen Chuhan, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. One day, I will make you prostrate at my feet!

Shen Chu gave a cold glance, and turned his gaze away from her.

Except for this little episode that happened at the beginning, the subsequent New Year's Eve banquet was very peaceful, and nothing unexpected happened.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yin Zhan exchanged greetings and announced that the New Year's Eve banquet was over.

Everyone saluted and thanked, and got up and walked towards the gate of the hall.

Xiao Zhuo also stood up, and was about to follow the crowd out of the hall when Yin Zhan, who was at the top, called out to him, "Qin Aiqing, stay a while."

He turned around in surprise, and saw that Yin Zhan was looking at him with deep eyes, his face was hidden under the flickering lights, and he was somewhat unclear.

"I have something to say to Xiao Aiqing, you come with me." Saying that, she turned and walked towards the side hall.

Xiao Zhuo pursed his lips, turned his direction, and followed Yin Zhan to the side hall.

After walking a few steps, from the corner of the eye, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan were about to leave the hall. Shen Chuhan nodded slightly at him, quickly looked away, and left the hall with a normal expression.

Xiao Zhuo fixed his mind and followed Yin Zhan's pace.

It seems that in all likelihood, Yin Zhan wants to explain to him alone the reason for calling him to Beijing this time.

When he arrived at the side hall, Yin Zhan stopped slightly, and waved to Xiao Zhuo who was behind him, "Xiao Aiqing, stop following me, come up."

Xiao Zhuo responded, and quickly walked two steps to Yin Zhan's side.

The two did not stop at the side hall, but waited for the crowd to disperse, and left the side hall to go to Yin Zhan's bedroom.

"You haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, I'm afraid you're not getting used to it." Yin Zhan opened his mouth slowly in the deep night, with a rare gentleness in his tone.

Xiao Zhuo smiled respectfully, maintaining his usual vigilance, "Shengjing is becoming more and more prosperous now, and every time I come back, the scene changes with each passing day, which really amazes me."

Yin Zhan seemed to like the quiet compliment in his words, and the corners of his lips smiled, "You have worked hard in the Southwest in recent years, and I have seen it all."

"Your Majesty is being polite. This is the duty of a humble official." Xiao Zhuo and Yin Zhan kept a close distance, and their expressions were still respectful. Apart from respect, you can't find any expression. A little indifference will be noticed.

Yin Zhan has always been sensitive, how could he not feel it?
The smile on the corner of her mouth faded, "Xiao Aiqing is unfamiliar with me."

The corners of Xiao Zhuo's mouth twitched almost invisibly, he hadn't been back to Shengjing many times in all these years, let alone being familiar with Yin Zhan, what he said right now was really difficult for people to accept.

Embarrassed smile, "I dare not."

Hearing these obviously perfunctory words, Yin Zhan's face darkened, his sharp eyes shot towards his face, his lips parted, and he was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, his eyes narrowed, as if choked by the wind, Bending over and coughing.

Xiao Zhuo frowned slightly and looked away.

Eunuch Zhou hurriedly stepped forward, put the cloak in his hand on him, and said, "Your Majesty, it's windy at night, you'd better listen to the slave, take a step back to the palace, you are not in good health, if you fall again The wind and cold..."

Yin Zhan coughed a few times, straightened his body, waved his hand, stopped Eunuch Zhou from continuing to mutter, and put on his cloak and tied it tightly.

Eunuch Zhou smiled helplessly at Xiao Zhuo, "The emperor said that he hadn't seen you, General Xiao, for a long time, and wanted to have a good talk with you, so he wanted to walk back to the bedroom. But you also know that the emperor's health has never been very good... ..."

"Zhou Ya." Yin Zhan shouted coldly, seemingly not depressed.

Zhou Ya hurriedly fell silent, and retreated respectfully behind them.

Xiao Zhuo didn't know what Yin Zhan wanted to do, so he smiled politely, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhou is also doing it for your own good. If you are not in good health, you won't be able to catch wind."

"I know." Yin Zhan's expression darkened, "My body... I'm afraid it won't get better."

Xiao Zhuo was a little suspicious.

He always felt that Yin Zhan seemed to have something to say today.

After thinking about it for a while, he comforted him politely, "Even though your majesty relaxes, the imperial physician will definitely find a way to heal your body."

Yin Zhan shook his head with a lonely expression, "It's useless."

Looking up at the dormitory that appeared in front of him, he sighed deeply, "Here we are, let's go in and talk."

After entering the dormitory, Yin Zhan sat down at the top and glanced at the seats below, "Xiao Aiqing should sit too."

Xiao Zhuo saluted and sat down.

After the tea was served, the maids in the hall were reprimanded by Yin Zhan, leaving only Zhou Ya to wait on him.

"I don't know if the emperor called the minister to come here today, what is his order?" Since he couldn't figure out Yin Zhan's intention, Xiao Zhuo took the initiative to ask the question.

Yin Zhan sighed, and said heavily, "I don't know if Xiao Aiqing knows that I was born with poison from my mother's womb, so I have been in poor health."

"Weichen... I heard it a little bit." Xiao Zhuo's voice was clear, but his heart suddenly became vigilant.

Could it be that the reason why Yin Zhan summoned him to Beijing was really related to Dead Yeqing?
Shen Chuhan only found out about the Imperial Forest Army last night, so he hadn't had time to tell Xiao Zhuo his conjecture in the future.

"A few days ago, I got Huoyanghua, one of the four great elixir medicines in Yunqing Continent, and finally cleaned out the residual poison in my body."

Shen Chuhan's search for Huoyanghua was done in private, and Yin Zhan would not be so stupid as to let this matter spread.And he tried every means to pull Xiao Zhuo into his camp, and in front of Xiao Zhuo, he would not mention Shen Chuhan's credit.

Xiao Zhuo's heart moved slightly, but his face was only surprised, "This is really great, I am here to congratulate the emperor."

It has to be said that he is a man who has achieved great things after all, and he can hide his shy side well in front of Yin Zhan.

Yin Zhan's eyes darkened.

"Even so, the toxin has been hiding in my body for too long, and it has dragged down my body long ago, and the imperial physician is helpless." He stared straight at Xiao Zhuo, not missing any slight change in his expression.

Xiao Zhuo only slightly raised his eyebrows, acting puzzled and surprised.

Seeing Yin Zhan staring at him deeply, Xiao Zhuo had no choice but to say, "It's a pity that I'm not an imperial doctor, so I can't help the emperor. Why don't the emperor post an imperial list to see if there are any people who are good at medicine?"

Yin Zhan shook his head.

"It's useless. I've seen many imperial physicians. I don't think a quack doctor can cure my body. But..." He paused, and looked at Xiao Zhuo with burning eyes.

"Xiao Aiqing can indeed help me."

Xiao Zhuo's expression was slightly tense, and his face was as usual, "I don't quite understand what the emperor means. I don't know anything about medicine. Although I really want to do my part for the emperor, I really can't do it."

Xu did not hear Xiao Zhuo's assurance from patting his chest, Yin Zhan's eyes sank, a shadow appeared, and he quickly lowered his eyes, his voice was a little tired.

"Does Qin Aiqing know...why did Qinshui Empress of Chen Kingdom come here?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head.

"Emperor Ji Qinshui was disfigured by Empress Wuyang in Lindu, and she couldn't restore her appearance even after searching for famous doctors. There is only one thing in this world that can restore her appearance to its original state."

"What is it?" Seeing this, Yin Zhan stopped, and Xiao Zhuo spoke.

"The dead leaf green that grows in the northern border of our country." Seeing that Xiao Zhuo didn't respond enthusiastically, Yin Zhan had no choice but to continue, "And my body also needs the Qingyuan fruit that grows in Chen country. Empress Qinshui has Qingyuan fruit in her hand, as long as I can send someone to find Kuyeqing and exchange it with her, my body will be completely recovered."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo finally understood.

It turned out that they guessed right, Yin Zhan called him back to Beijing, and it turned out that it was because of Kuyeqing.

Withered leaf green grows in the northern desert, and it is one of the four great elixir medicines, so it is not easy to obtain.Qinshui Emperor Ji wanted to make a deal with Yin Zhan, so she would definitely send a letter in advance to inform her. In other words, Yin Zhan had been secretly preparing for a long time, but the deal has not yet been completed, which means that the process of getting Qingyuan fruit is not smooth.

Therefore, he needs to go to the northern border to retrieve Dead Leaf Green for him, so that he can exchange it with Qinshui Diji.

"It's just that Dry Yeqing is extremely difficult to find. I sent several groups of people to look for it, but in the end there was no news." Speaking of this, he took a long breath, stepped down from his seat, and stood in front of Xiao Zhuo. Deep, staring at him without blinking, with a bit of weird tenderness in his tone.

"Xiao Zhuo, you are the only person I can trust."
