Chapter 372 Head-to-head confrontation (second update)
His voice was not loud, but it carried an inexplicable chill, which made everyone present shudder, and no one dared to look up into his cold eyes, as if he could see through all the calculations in their hearts with just one glance.

"Why don't you talk?" Seeing that no one made a sound, Shen Chuhan opened his mouth again, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"My lord, I don't believe it. The Concubine De is not such a person, and neither are you." It was Shu Deyi who spoke first, looking at Shen Chuhan with a firm expression.

Shen Chuhan hooked his lips lightly, and opened his mouth unhurriedly, "I don't know the reason why the father is unconscious. But the queen said so firmly, she must know something."

These words were somewhat profound, and everyone lowered their heads knowingly.

Indeed, even the imperial physician didn't know what the emperor's illness was. How did the empress know that King Han instructed Concubine De to administer chronic poison to the emperor?Unless...she was yelling, "Stop the thief."Thinking of this, the doubts about Shen Chuhan in his heart dispelled a little.

Shen Chuhan paused, and then said, "There is one more thing that you may not know."

His eyes swept across the faces of the people with different expressions, "Xue Yanchen, the son of the Xue family, has an affair with Ruan Zhaoyi. And the father, because he saw the scene of the two having an affair, he became so angry that he passed out."

The matter between Xue Yanchen and Ruan Yingying was suppressed by the Xue family and Wang Xi, so the ministers did not know the details.

Shen Chuhan added, "This incident happened at the previous flower viewing banquet, which is why the father suddenly left the banquet."

When everyone heard the words, there was an uproar.

Originally they thought it was a bit strange that Emperor Zhao was obviously fine at the beginning of the flower viewing banquet, but then suddenly left the stage due to physical discomfort. Thinking about it carefully, they always felt a bit weird. inside story!
"Once Father wakes up, the first thing to investigate is the Xue family's responsibility." Shen Chuhan said lightly again, "Everyone is a smart person, so they must be able to figure out what is right and wrong."

What Shen Chuhan said was correct, he raised a few important points, and these courtiers connected the events together.

Therefore, it was Xue Yanchen and Ruan Zhaoyi who had an affair first, and made the emperor dizzy. After that, the Xue family had no idea, and feared that the emperor would use this matter to deal with them after waking up. Then, together with King Duan, they poured dirty water on King Han , and raised troops to revolt in the name of "King Qin", in fact, what was done secretly was an act of conspiracy.

If King Han hadn't been vigilant and made arrangements in advance, King Duan's scheme might have succeeded at this moment.

The ministers who were originally on Jun Che's side began to tremble.

Neither Xue Qingyun nor Xue Qi came to the morning court today, so they must have learned that King Duan will raise troops today.But looking at the current situation, it is clear that King Han has the upper hand.

In today's battle, someone will always win and someone will lose.

If it was Duan Wang who failed, their fate might not be so good. Thinking of this, his face turned pale.

Shen Chuhan's expression was cold, and his cold voice penetrated into everyone's ears word by word, "You can choose to leave, but King Duan's current military strength is still outside the palace. If you leave this Chongzheng Hall, your safety is guaranteed. But there is no guarantee."

That's a polite way of saying it.

On the surface, it is said that everyone is not restricted to stay in the Chongzheng Palace, but if they leave the palace, in such a chaotic situation, whether they live or die, they can only resign themselves to fate.

The people present are all people who cherish their lives, so how could they risk their lives to leave the palace?So, I'd rather stay here.

It was obviously the same situation as before, but from Shen Chuhan's mouth, it seemed that he was giving them a favor, rather than forcing them to stay here.

Shu Deyi sighed more and more.

Sure enough, he didn't miss him, King Han is definitely not someone in the pool.He even felt that a small country of Zhao would not be able to keep him at all.

Seeing that everyone expressed their willingness to stay here, Shen Chuhan curled his lips coldly, called Xiao Zhuo in, and ordered him to bring people here to protect the ministers.Then without another word, he just took Song Qinghuan's hand and strode towards the outside of the hall.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of medicine Shen Chuhan was selling in the gourd, but the situation was unclear at the moment, all they could do was wait here, for the one who would win in this battle.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan left the Chongzheng Hall, stopped, "Ah Wan, let's go to the Queen's Palace."

He knew that Liuyue died because of the queen in the previous life.Song Qinghuan regards Liuyue as her own sister, and she will not easily bypass the queen.

"Okay." Song Qinghuan nodded with a firm expression.

Today, the queen must die, and she will not let her die easily.

After calling twenty personal guards and taking Liuyue with them, the group walked quickly towards the queen's bedroom.

When she arrived at the Queen's bedroom, Song Qinghuan felt something was wrong before she got close.

Quiet, too quiet, too quiet to hear a human voice.

Shen Chuhan obviously also noticed the clue, waved his hand, stopped the progress of everyone, narrowed his brows and eyes slightly, and looked at the guards who followed, "Go in and see the situation."

The personal guard agreed, and entered the hall like a ghost.

After a while, the personal guard who went to inquire about the situation jumped out lightly, stood still in front of Shen Chuhan, cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, I have checked everything, the beauty in the palace."

no one?

Song Qinghuan frowned, why was there no one?Could it be... the queen saw that the situation was not right and ran away?Thinking of this, his face suddenly collapsed, and he walked into the hall, "I'll go and have a look."

Shen Chuhan didn't stop him, but also followed.

Stepping into the hall, it was really quiet, only the occasional wind blowing through the hall made a whistling sound in my ears.

The Queen's bedroom is both familiar and strange.In the previous life, after Shen Chuhan went to war, Song Qinghuan had to come here on the first and fifteenth day of every month to make peace with the queen. How many difficulties he had suffered here, it can be said that every table and chair here was deeply imprinted in Song Qinghuan's psychology.

That is, outside this palace, Liu Yue was ordered to be beaten to death by the queen because she pleaded with the queen on her behalf.

With a flash in front of my eyes, my heart felt a little heavy and I couldn't breathe.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked towards Liuyue behind her, her eyes were lingering, she stared straight at Liuyue, with gratitude and joy in her eyes.Fortunately, fortunately, Liuyue is still alive and well, and fortunately, in this life, she did not repeat the mistakes of the previous life.

Seeing Song Qinghuan stop suddenly, Liu Yue was taken aback and blinked blankly, "Your Highness, you... what's wrong with you?"

Song Qinghuan smiled happily, her cold eyebrows and eyes softened a bit.

"It's nothing. It's good that you're still by my side."

Liu Yue became more and more confused, she frowned, and replied without thinking, "It's natural, as long as His Highness needs it, the servants will always be by His Highness's side at any time."

Song Qing smiled happily, revealing white teeth like rice grains.

Liu Yue didn't understand what she said just now, but Shen Chuhan understood.He tightened Song Qinghuan's hand slightly, hoping to give her some misses.

Song Qinghuan looked up and smiled at him, took a deep breath, and stepped into the inner hall.

Sure enough, there was no one in the inner hall.

It seems that the Queen realized that something was wrong and dismissed all the people in her palace.So where did the Queen herself go?
Liu Yue looked around suspiciously, and asked, "Your Highness, is the Queen secretly hiding somewhere in the palace?"

Song Qinghuan didn't make a sound, and his sharp eyes never let go of anyone in the hall.

I looked it over several times, but didn't find anything.

She frowned, her face darkened, and she looked up at Shen Chuhan, "Where does Ashu think the queen will go?"

"Our people are guarding the gate of the palace. The queen should not be able to leave the palace. Don't worry, I'll have someone search around. As long as she's still in the palace, we can definitely find her."

Song Qing sighed happily, at the moment, this is the only way to go.

Walking out of the main hall, just about to go to the Chongzheng Hall, suddenly saw someone running towards them with a solemn face, it was one of Shen Chuhan's personal guards.

The personal guard stopped in front of Shen Chuhan, took a deep breath, and quickly said, "Your Highness, King Duan has lost to Mu Bai, and he has brought troops to the palace now."

Shen Chuhan's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and a sneer flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Understood." He said lightly, "Ask Xiao Zhuo to keep 20 people in the Chongzheng Hall, and then bring the rest to meet me at the palace gate."

"Yes." The guard agreed, and left quickly, his figure disappearing into the distance.

"Ah Wan." Shen Chuhan turned his eyes to Song Qinghuan, his cold eyebrows were gentle, "Do you want to find a place to rest?"

It will be a fierce battle with Jun Che later, Shen Chuhan doesn't want Song Qinghuan to be in danger.

Song Qinghuan thought for a while, lowered her voice slightly, looked up at Shen Chuhan, blinked her bright eyes, "Can I go?" She asked in a questioning tone, with longing in her eyes.

She knew that Shen Chuhan was worried about her safety, so if Shen Chuhan disagreed, she would not force her.

Unfortunately, Shen Chuhan didn't want her to suffer any grievances, not to mention, with him around, no one could touch Song Qinghuan.Thinking of this, he pursed his lips helplessly and compromised, "Since you want to go, then go."

Song Qinghuan had an overjoyed look in his eyes, he curled his lips into a smile, and took his arm affectionately, "Okay."

Liu Yue looked at the two from behind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Right now, the atmosphere is obviously tense, why are these two masters talking about love here instead?If King Duan saw this, wouldn't he be mad?

While muttering to herself, Song Qinghuan turned her head to look, "Liuyue, what are you thinking? I shouldn't even talk to you."

Liu Yue suddenly came back to her senses, and smiled embarrassedly, "What did your Highness say?"

"Do you want to go with us?" Song Qinghuan asked with a smile.

Liu Yue nodded, "Naturally, the servant girl just said that as long as His Highness is willing, the servant girl will always be by His Highness's side."

Song Qinghuan smiled sweetly, "Okay, let's go then."

The three of them walked to the gate of the palace, Xiao Zhuo had already brought people to wait here.Seeing him coming, his eyes lightened slightly, and he came forward to meet him.

"Jun Che is coming soon."

Xiao Zhuo nodded, "I have already sent someone to watch."

"Okay." Shen Chuhan replied, without another word, just standing under the shadow of the tree with Song Qinghuan, looking straight ahead.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the line of sight in front of him. From his appearance, he seemed to be a spy sent by Xiao Zhuo.

Sure enough, the man walked up to Shen Chuhan and told him that Jun Che was fleeing towards the palace with the remaining soldiers.

Shen Chuhan let out an "um", waved his hand, and let him go down.

It was already noon at this time, there was no wind, and the sun was a little hot.With a glance in Shen Chuhan's eyes, he saw beads of transparent sweat oozing from Song Qinghuan's forehead.

He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his fingertips, and took her hand to avoid it deep in the shadow of the tree, "Ah Wan, I shouldn't have promised you to come." There was a touch of regret in his tone.

Song Qing laughed happily, his eyes were clear, "It's already too late."

Now, not only Liuyue, even Xiao Zhuo was surprised.The postures and expressions of the two of them really don't look like they are facing a big enemy. It has to be said that after being together with Song Qinghuan, His Highness's previous hostility has subsided a lot, but it is this cold and cold feeling that makes him People are more afraid.

Because I can't figure it out.

Thinking of Shen Chuhan who used to have a vicious temperament, and thinking of Shen Chuhan who occasionally smiled now, Xiao Zhuo felt a little sigh in his heart.

After being with the princess, His Highness has indeed changed a lot.

While he was in a trance, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him, his expression froze, he closed his mind, and looked forward.

Soon, a large group of people appeared in sight, and the leader was indeed Jun Che.

The smile on Shen Chuhan's face faded, and he waved his hand back, signaling for everyone to hide, and then pulled Song Qinghuan to hide behind the tree, just waiting for Jun Che to come over.

The armored guards led by Jun Che quickly arrived at the gate of the palace.

He got off his horse and looked at the palace gate that was wide open in front of him, with suspicion in his eyes.

There are no guards.

Logically, the guard at the gate of the palace should belong to him, why is there no one now?Could it be... something happened in the palace?
Jun Che's heart suddenly became vigilant, he waved back, and two people rode forward, "My lord, what's your order?"

"Go in and have a look." Jun Che pointed to the inside of the palace gate.

The two should be, got off their horses, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and walked cautiously towards the palace gate.

Just passing through the palace gate, before taking a step, he suddenly heard two muffled groans, and Jun Che watched the two people in sight fall to the ground.

His heart froze, and with a "swipe", he pulled out the sharp sword in his waist.

"Who?!" He shouted loudly, tightening his sword hand.

no answer.

His eyes slowly fell on the two armored guards who fell to the ground.There are two leaves stuck in their chests, they are just very ordinary leaves, but they have become sharp weapons for killing people.

Jun Che took a breath.

Killing people with leaves, this person's martial arts must be bottomless.

Who is it?
Could it be Shen Chuhan?

He knew that he had martial arts, but he didn't know how far his martial arts had reached, so he couldn't help hesitating in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.For some reason, an uncontrollable wave of timidity emerged.

But, there are also chasing soldiers.

Moreover, he also knew the leader, he had seen him beside Shen Chuhan before, he seemed to be his personal bodyguard, called Mu Bai.

Jun Che didn't know where Shen Chuhan got his troops, but the facts were right in front of him, so he couldn't help but believe it.Mu Bai's martial arts are excellent, and the soldiers he leads obviously look like they were fought on the battlefield, and they are obviously not in the same order of magnitude as the iron armored guards who patrol the capital.

He quickly retreated steadily. In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat to the palace, preparing to hold Emperor Zhao in his hands, and then use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Shen Chuhan.

But now, he is stuck here, unable to get up or down.

Jun Che felt very annoyed!
The plan he had planned for so long, in Shen Chuhan's eyes, seemed to be nothing, and it was easily deciphered.The jealousy in his heart was blazing, and his face was a little distorted.

Why...why does he always get what he wants easily? !

Jun Che's eyes were red with evil, and he stared at the movement in the palace through the palace gate. He raised his voice, with gnashed hatred in his tone, "Jun Shu, I know you are here! Don't hide if you have the ability! "

After finishing speaking, he actually saw a long and tall figure appearing at the palace gate, falling into his dark eyes.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he fixed his eyes on the person who appeared in his line of sight.

It really is Shen Chuhan.

He was dressed in a silver and white brocade robe, and his posture was as calm as ever.

Looking at his calm and breezy appearance, Jun Che felt that his lungs were about to explode.Why did he still look like a banished immortal when he was in such a mess?

"Second Brother looking for me?" Shen Chuhan stared at him and said coldly.

"Jun Shu, why, don't you hide?" Jun Che was jealous in his heart, but he didn't want to show a look of defeat on his face.

Shen Chuhan smiled, with a bit of sarcasm, "Why did I escape? It's the second emperor brother, who looks a bit like a bereaved dog now, why did he come into the palace in such a hurry?"

Hearing the words "a lost dog", Jun Che's face sank suddenly, and the hand holding the rein burst out with veins.

He raised his hand, took a few steps forward on the horse, and stood a few steps away from Shen Chuhan, looking down at him condescendingly, trying not to show any timidity, "Jun Shu, what are you thinking?"

"I should ask Brother Erhuang this. Brother Erhuang is so impatient? Father is still in a coma, and you are in a hurry to rebel?" The word "rebellion" was bitten so hard that Jun Shu's eyelids fluttered when he heard it. It's a jump.

He sneered, "You're wrong, I'm not a rebel, I'm King Qin." After a pause, he stared at Shen Chuhan, "Jun Shu, you know exactly what your purpose is when you come back to Zhao Kingdom."

"Oh?" Shen Chuhan raised his voice, "It seems that the second brother is also very clear?"

Jun Che couldn't see his calm and relaxed appearance, he was already out of breath. Seeing Shen Chuhan staring at him, he didn't notice anything, the hand hanging by his side moved slightly, raised it suddenly, and a silver light flashed across , flying straight towards Shen Chuhan's chest with a diamond-shaped dart in his hand.

There was no panic on Shen Chuhan's face.

He tilted his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and actually caught that sharp dart directly!

Jun Che stared at his two slender fingers holding the dart, his eyelashes trembling violently.To catch the hidden weapon with bare hands, how much effort would it take to do this?
He suddenly felt a chill rise up his back, it was mid-day, but it seemed like he had fallen into an ice cave.

How many secrets does Shen Chuhan have in him that he doesn't know?
When he was slightly distracted, he suddenly saw a silver light flashing in front of his eyes. Before he could recover, he saw that the dart in Shen Chuhan's hand had already been released, and a sharp light was emitted in the air, and it sank into the belly of the horse under him in an instant.

The thousand-mile horse under him neighed in pain, raised its front hooves and struggled for a while, suddenly its front hooves softened, and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

Jun Che might as well, let go of the rein, and was thrown out violently!
