Chapter 518 Maid Dongxue
He always knew that Song Qinghuan was smart, but he never thought that she would be so clever.

When she said this just now, she clearly guessed that she was instigated by someone to come here today, what's more, she seemed to have guessed who that person was?

Song Qinghuan glanced leisurely at him, "If I remember correctly, Zhou Shilang's eldest son seems to be over eighteen?"

Zhou Zhen felt a "thump" in his heart, and looked up at Song Qinghuan cautiously, not knowing what she wanted to say, but saw that Song Qinghuan was still smiling at Yan Yan, with a harmless face.

He had no choice but to nod his head in response, feeling somewhat vigilant in his heart.

"Have you ever been engaged?" Song Qinghuan asked again with a slight smile.

Zhou Zhen frowned almost invisibly, and a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart. He wanted to make up nonsense, but when he saw Song Qinghuan's bright eyes, he felt that he had no confidence to lie, so he had to clear his throat. He opened his mouth in fear, "Yet...not yet..."

Song Qinghuan curled her lips into a smile, took a sip of tea from a cup beside her, and said leisurely, "Haven't you been engaged yet? I remember that there was a prostitute daughter in the family of Hu Shilang from the Ministry of Industry. It has to be beautiful and beautiful, but also knowledgeable, rational and gentle."

After a pause, a pair of beautiful almond eyes bent into a crescent shape, and looked at Zhou Zhen with a half-smile, "I heard that Zhou Shilang and Hu Shilang have a good personal relationship. If Zhou Shilang is willing, I can be the matchmaker."

As he said that, he chuckled, half joking and half serious, "In this way, Zhou Shilang will not keep staring at the emperor if he is busy with his son's marriage. You know, the emperor doesn't like being influenced by others. Zhou Shilang If you continue to focus on the draft, it's hard to guarantee that the emperor won't get angry, so why don't I find something for Zhou Shilang to do. Zhou Shilang, what do you think?"

The sweat on Zhou Zhen's forehead flowed more and more, and his back was soaked.

Although the daughter of Hu Ruian's family is good-looking, but I heard that she has a big temper, she has a high self-esteem, and she never takes her son seriously.

If he was really given a marriage to his family, there would definitely be a disturbance in the house in the future, and Hu Ruian would also be jealous of him, so this marriage is not worth it.

What's more, there is the black gauze hat on his head.

The empress's meaning is very clear. If he mentions the draft again, she will send him a difficult daughter-in-law, and the black hat on her head will not be guaranteed. Although he is angry at such a naked threat, he is more concerned about it. Fear.

After getting in touch these days, he also has a general understanding of the empress's character, and he is definitely a master who speaks one word.

Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he repeatedly pleaded guilty, "The empress is so kind, and I appreciate it. It's just that the dog is naughty, and he really doesn't deserve Miss Hu. I need to worry about the empress."

As he spoke, he paused, and then continued, "The empress is right, the matter of talent selection still depends on the emperor's will. In the future, I must obey the emperor's orders, and dare not do things like acting on behalf of others."

The corner of Song Qinghuan's mouth curled into a sarcasm smile, and after a fleeting moment, he still looked at Zhou Zhen warmly, with a gentle description, "Since this is the case, then I won't force myself to be a matchmaker. If Mr. Zhou has a girl he likes, If you need a marriage from me, feel free to come and talk to me."

"Definitely, thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Seeing that Song Qinghuan finally let go, Zhou Zhen also heaved a sigh of relief, bowing to thank him again and again.

"Okay." Song Qinghuan lazily put the teacup on the table, "As for the Liangguo Mission, please ask Minister Zhou to be more careful. In addition, I don't want any rumors about what happened today. "

"I understand." After all, Zhou Zhen has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how could he not understand what Song Qinghuan meant?I was in a hurry to respond, and dared not say more.

Song Qinghuan waved his hand, "Zhou Shilang go down first. Shen Xing, send Zhou Shilang out of the palace."

Zhou Zhen saluted and withdrew respectfully.

As soon as he left, Song Qinghuan softened and lay on the back of the chair, lost in thought.

Naturally, she wasn't worried about the draft. After what happened today, Zhou Zhen should be able to calm down for a while. What she was worried about was, what exactly did Su Rao want to do?
I don't know if Xuanying found anything?
Frowning, he stood up and entered the inner hall.Liu Yue looked at her figure, pursed her lips, and followed her.

In the evening, Shen Chuhan returned to Huaqing Palace.

Seeing him come back, Youyou, who was playing with Ah Lin in the hall, ran over, hugged his leg, and called happily, "Father!"

Shen Chuhan hugged her up, and said in a warm voice, "Is Youyou good today?"

Youyou nodded vigorously, "Well, good boy."

Song Qing stepped forward with a smile, "Youyou, come down first, let Father change into clothes."

Youyou complied obediently, and was put down by Shen Chuhan. She blinked her big eyes and sat aside, watching Song Qinghuan take off her coat for Shen Chuhan.

Liu Yue took a set of normal clothes and came over, while Shen Xing followed Song Qinghuan's instructions and went down to deliver dinner.

After changing their clothes in the inner hall, several people went out of the inner hall together, Shen Xing was already outside directing the maids to prepare dinner.

Song Qinghuan asked Liuyue to carry Ah Lin to the wet nurse, then sat down beside the table with Youyou, and then sat down beside her.

Although Youyou is only less than three years old, she has a bright and lively personality, and she is eloquent. After a meal, Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were coaxed into smiles, and Liu Yue and Shen Xing who were beside her couldn't stop laughing. Di Ji's temperament is much more outgoing than His Highness and Emperor.

After eating, Song Qinghuan had something to say to Shen Chuhan, and played with Youyou for a while, so she asked Shen Xing to take her back to her bedroom.

After taking a bath, she asked Shen Chuhan to go down to take a bath first, and sat on the soft couch by herself, letting Liu Yue twist her hair for her.

Liuyue was very quiet today, silently wringing out Song Qinghuan's hair.

Song Qinghuan flipped through the book for a while, seeing that her hair was almost dry, she put the book down, motioned for Liuyue to come to her, looked at her with a smile and joked, "Liuyue, why aren't you worried today?"

Liu Yue grinned, her eyes were clear, "Before, the servant girl was thinking about it. Your Highness is right. As long as the emperor does not agree, what if the others call the sky broken? So the servant girl should stop worrying."

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, and was about to speak when she suddenly heard footsteps, followed by Shen Chuhan walked in with the sound of curtains ding-dong.

"What are you worrying about?" His cold eyes swept across the Liuyue face, and he spoke heavily.

Liu Yue grinned and glanced at Song Qinghuan, not knowing how to reply.

Song Qinghuan waved his hand, motioning for her to go down first.

Liu Yue bowed to Shen Chuhan and exited the inner hall.

Song Qinghuan picked up a silk scarf, tied her hair behind her head, looked at Shen Chuhan and smiled softly, "Have you washed it?"

Shen Chuhan responded, walked to her side, and sat down on the soft couch, "What are A Wan and Liu Yue talking about? Why did I keep silent when I came?"

Song Qinghuan took the handkerchief, knelt down on the couch, and helped him wipe his wet hair, "Speaking of Zhou Zhen coming to see me today."

Shen Chuhan blinked his long eyelashes, said "um" at the end, and slightly closed his eyes, "What did he say?"

Song Qinghuan told Shen Chuhan about the carrier pigeon.

Shen Chuhan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her wrist in his arms.

Song Qinghuan let out a low exclamation, and she fell into his arms.

Shen Chuhan stretched out his hand and stroked her smooth and small chin, with a half-smile, "Ah Wan just said that, isn't that the case?"

Song Qinghuan rolled his eyes, glanced at him, and said angrily, "I really can't hide anything from you." Then, he moved his body and changed into a more comfortable position, "Isn't it about the draft? I'm coming."

Shen Chuhan's brows and eyes darkened slightly, "I think Zhou Zhen has sat in this seat for too long, and this kind of thing will bother you."

Song Qinghuan put her arms around his neck and said with a light smile, "I've already threatened him, I think...he shouldn't dare to mention this matter for a long time."

Shen Chuhan stretched out his hand and gently scratched her delicate Qiong nose, and took her into his arms with the other hand, and said in a low voice, "I didn't want you to worry about this."

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, "How can we hide this kind of thing? Even if Zhou Zhen didn't rush to tell me, the rumors in the palace would have already reached my ears."

Seeing Song Qinghuan's expression as usual, Shen Chuhan felt relieved, and tightly held her waist, speaking in a low voice, "Ah Wan, tell me, what exactly does Yin Zhan mean?"

If Song Qinghuan was an ordinary woman, what he had to do might be to calm her down.Fortunately, Song Qinghuan is not an ordinary woman. Her insight and vision can make Shen Chuhan speak freely in front of her. Sometimes, her few words can even give him a brand new perspective.

Song Qinghuan frowned, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this series of things has nothing to do with Su Rao."

She looked up at Shen Chuhan, "Is there any news from Xuanying?"

"Spy from the Liang Kingdom came to report that Yin Zhan has been sick for the past few days and has not attended the court. I heard that his health has been deteriorating recently." Shen Chuhan said.

Back then when Shen Chuhan was Prime Minister of Liang Country, he stole Huoyanghua from Yu Country's treasury for Yin Zhan and cured the poison he brought from his mother's womb.

But Yin Zhan has been poisoned for a long time, even if the toxin in his body has been detoxified, his body is still very weak. This is why Shen Chuhan later sneaked into Chen Kingdom with Song Qinghuan under the guise of obtaining Qingyuan fruit for Yin Zhan.

Later, Qingyuan fruit was obtained, but Shen Chuhan did not give it to Yin Zhan.One was given to Emperor Yu, and the other was also used on Ji Liuyun some time ago.

Yin Zhan naturally didn't know the inside story, he had been tricked by Su Rao before, not only did he not get the Qingyuan fruit, but Su Rao also stole the dead leaf green in his palace.

I just don't know what method Su Rao used to make Yin Zhan abandon the past grievances and agree to marry her as the queen. No matter how I think about it, it's unbelievable.

But having said that, could it be that Yin Zhan's physical deterioration this time is still related to his previous illness?
Frowning, Song Qinghuan asked again, "Then, after Su Rao married to Liang Kingdom, what is the relationship between the emperor and empress?"

"According to Yinwei, the two seem to have a good relationship. Yin Zhan stayed in Su Rao Palace for at least half a month. Only recently, due to physical discomfort, he spent most of his time in his bedroom to recuperate."

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes and met Song Qinghuan's gaze.

Song Qinghuan naturally thought of what he thought of, and blinked her long eyelashes thoughtfully, "It seems that Su Rao is really not in Shengjing anymore."

No matter what method Su Rao used to hold Yin Zhan back, but now it seems that Yin Zhan fell ill as soon as she left, probably, Su Rao found some medicine for Yin Zhan.

If this is the case, then...Su Rao may have controlled Yin Zhan since she married to Liang Country.

It's no wonder that Ning Le Changdi Ji was selected for this marriage meeting, and it's also no wonder that Yin Zhan and Yin Qing's expression suddenly changed when they mentioned Yin Zhan and Yin Qing that day. In all likelihood, most of the power in Liang Kingdom has been seized by Su Rao.

Shen Chuhan nodded, "It's just that Su Rao's whereabouts are too secretive, so far, no clues have been found." After a pause, his expression became serious, "It seems that we still have to send some hidden guards in the hall."

Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement.

Before, they only let the people from the Ministry of Rites watch, because they were afraid of revealing clues, and it would not be beneficial to spread Yu Zhaoguo's reputation, but now, Su Rao obviously came prepared, and they can no longer take it lightly.

"Tomorrow, I will call Yin Qingrong into the palace to have a chat." Song Qinghuan thought for a while and said again.

Although she only spoke a few words with Yin Qingrong that day, she could feel that Yin Qingrong must know something else.Since Su Rao didn't reveal any flaws for the time being, it's better to start with Yin Qingrong first.

"Okay." Shen Chuhan nodded, "When the time comes, let Liuyue and Shenxing follow."

Song Qinghuan agreed, and chatted with Shen Chuhan about other things, seeing that it was getting late, the two of them turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next day.

After eating breakfast and playing with Youyou and A Lin for a while, Song Qinghuan sent people to the meeting hall to announce Yinqing into the palace.

Not long after, Yin Qingrong was called.

The ones who followed her into the palace today were Dongxue and Chunlu who had dealt with Song Qinghuan last time, Xia Yu and Qiushuang did not follow.

Yin Qingrong entered the hall under the leadership of the little maid, and saluted Song Qinghuan.

"Emperor Ji, don't need to be too polite." Song Qinghuan smiled and asked Shen Xing to watch.

Thank you Yin Qingrong, she sat down next to her, and the two women named Dongxue and Chunlu stood behind her.

A little maid served tea and then withdrew again.

Song Qinghuan picked up the teacup, took a sip without haste, and then casually raised her head to look at Yin Qingrong, "Why is Changdi Ji so pale? But Zhao Kingdom is not acclimatized?"

Without waiting for Yin Qingrong to reply, she said slowly, "How can this be good? Changdiji will live in Lindu permanently in the future, so she should get used to it as soon as possible."

While speaking, he glanced at the maid named Dongxue, "Dongxue, can you invite a doctor for your master?"

Dong Xue was called out unexpectedly, she was startled, and hurriedly came out to reply, "Responding to your mother's words, Your Highness said that she is fine and doesn't want to trouble her."

Song Qinghuan looked at her coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Is it because your master doesn't want to trouble you, or you don't want trouble?"

Dong Xue's eyes moved slightly, knowing that Song Qinghuan was coming for her, and she didn't dare to argue, she just lowered her head and acted timidly.

Song Qinghuan turned his gaze back to Yin Qingrong, with a light smile, "Changdiji, you should have heard that I know a little bit about medicine, if Changdiji doesn't mind, how about... let me feel your pulse see?"

She spoke kindly, and Yin Qingrong couldn't refuse, otherwise she would look like a ghost in her heart, so she nodded and forced a smile, "Then I will have to trouble the empress." She said, standing up.

Behind her, Dongxue hurriedly took a step forward, walked around to her side, supported her seemingly attentively, and walked up.

Song Qinghuan glanced at the maid named Dongxue calmly, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, she quickly raised her eyes and looked at Yin Qingrong who was walking up to her, "Sit, Changdiji."

Yin Qingrong sat down on the couch as she said, and stretched out her hand at Song Qinghuan's gesture, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Empress Dowager."

Song Qinghuan smiled faintly, and put his hand on her wrist.

Yin Qingrong's wrist was a little cold, but her pulse was still beating strongly. After listening for a while, Song Qinghuan withdrew her hand.

Originally, she suspected that Su Rao had given Yin Qingrong some kind of medicine, but now, Yin Qingrong didn't seem to be poisoned, but just weak.

Withdrawing her thoughts, she looked at Yin Qingrong, "Emperor Ji is fine, maybe it was caused by the exhaustion of the journey. Later, my palace will send some old ginseng to the Huitong Hall, and you will make ginseng soup and drink it. "

Yin Qingrong seemed a little moved, Yingying raised her eyes and glanced at Song Qinghuan, "Thank you, empress."

Song Qinghuan patted her hand, sat up slightly and looked at her, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly, with a bit of a stern aura, "Today, the palace invites Changdi Ji to come into the palace. In fact, there is another matter. .”

Yin Qingrong's fingers trembled almost invisible, and she raised her head, "Please speak, Empress."

"I heard that... Changdiji wants to marry the emperor as a concubine?" Song Qinghuan said leisurely.

Yin Qingrong's complexion changed when she heard the words. Just as she was about to speak, Song Qinghuan suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes, and shot her cold eyes at Dongxue, "I have something to say to your Chang Di Ji, you Let's go down first with Chunlu."
