Chapter 108

In the early morning, the four gates of the capital that had been closed for several days finally opened slowly.

Under the leadership of the new commander of the forbidden army, Lan Qinshuang, [-] sturdy soldiers entered the city in an orderly manner and completed the defense change.

At the same time, King An Su Yuling, who had been "sick" for a month, finally reappeared in the court.

Su Hailing quietly watched groups of soldiers passing by the door, and the bloody aura brought from the battlefield made her blood boil.

For three years, she has been silent for three years. The battlefield of the past, which was full of artillery fire, seems to have been sealed into the depths of her memory.

"What's wrong?" Mei Junhan came behind her.

"Jun Han, do you want to be a general?" Su Hailing blurted out.

"What?" Mei Junhan was dumbfounded.

Su Hailing couldn't help laughing, although it was just a casual sentence just now, but after thinking about it, he found that it was really good.

During these days, she has only set a general direction. The specific matters in the capital are all controlled by Mei Junhan, who turns the situation into a direction that is beneficial to her.With his talent, there will be room for both civil and military careers!

"Don't be stupid, I'm a man." Mei Junhan said flatly.

"What's wrong with the man?" Su Hailing said disapprovingly.

A modern woman can be the head of state...

"I'm going back to Xuanming Palace when I understand the matter in the capital." Mei Junhan said after being silent for a while.

"What?" Su Hailing was startled, turned around abruptly, and said viciously, "I won't let you go!"

"So what if you don't leave?" Mei Junhan gave a wry smile and turned her head away, "Stay here and be your servant, locked in the deep palace to watch the sunrise and sunset outside the high wall, looking forward to your arrival every night? Hailing ...where did you put me..."

Su Hailing clenched his fists tightly, his nails sank deeply into the flesh, causing a sharp pain.

Mei Junhan, this strange man in the world of women, he should be a pot of wine, a sword, free and easy, indulge in the rivers and lakes, how can he be locked in the harem and break his wings like a boudoir man?He is not as calm as Mu Qingchen, no matter where he is, he can be peaceful and free from dust.

"Hailing, I actually don't understand." Mei Junhan turned around, turned his back to her, and said softly, "Both Mu Qingchen and Haoyue are not weak who need to rely on women to survive, they both have the power to protect themselves, Even... let's live happily together, isn't it good? Is the throne, power, really so important?"

"No." Su Hailing stepped forward and held him in his arms from behind, "What is the throne, what is the power, do you think I care about those illusory things? What I want... is to step on the world under my feet The pleasure of life, I think... what I can't let go of is the ambition engraved in my bones, and I can't be willing to be ordinary."

"Woman..." Mei Junhan sighed softly.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to go where I can't see you." Su Hailing said domineeringly, "Also, the wedding must be completed, I will marry you!"

"How can you be so...forced to marry!" Mei Junhan bit her lip, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.

"I don't care." Su Hailing grabbed his shoulder and turned him around, "If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry? Which woman has the courage to marry, I slapped her flat!"

Mei Junhan finally couldn't help laughing out loud with a "puchi".

"It's a good thing you two still have time to flirt here!" Suddenly, Situ Ye's gnashing of teeth sounded from behind.

"What's the matter?" Mei Junhan struggled slightly, but without seeing how hard he was, he broke free from Su Hailing's embrace.

"Prime Minister Qin sent someone to post a message, please come to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet tonight." Situ Ye said angrily, turned his head and left.

"What is that old fox thinking again?" Mei Junhan frowned.

"Maybe it's a showdown." Su Hailing thought for a while, "I haven't seen most of the officials in the court. At this time, my blood of the Holy Emperor should show up!"

"Maybe I can bring a beauty back!" Mei Junhan glared at her.

"Uh..." Su Hailing couldn't help but feel ashamed.

In fact, she didn't understand, Mei Junhan didn't take jealousy from Mu Qingchen or Haoyue, and seemed indifferent to Situ Ye's attitude, why did she dislike Qin Yuxuan so much?

"Why, did I hit the mark?" Mei Junhan raised his eyebrows.

Su Hailing shook his head with a wry smile, then pinched his face: "You are much prettier than him, why should I go outside to look for it?"

Mei Junhan was taken aback, and blushed unconsciously.

"You...you can even blush!" Su Hailing looked at him curiously.

"Idiot!" Mei Junhan stomped on her hard, turned her head and left.

"Hiss—" Su Hailing took a deep breath, this girl is really vicious, she is absolutely furious from embarrassment!

"It deserves it." Mei Junhan dropped a sentence from a distance.

"Accompany me to the banquet tonight!" Su Hailing raised his voice.

"No!" Mei Junhan refused flatly, and then closed the door with a bang.

Su Hailing shrugged and limped towards the room.

Anyway, this guy is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. In the end, he must still be worried about her going to the Hongmen Banquet alone.

"Miss Su! What's wrong with you?" Mu Xin, who was bringing over the bird's nest porridge, couldn't help crying.

"It's all right, don't make a fuss." Su Hailing went up to smell it, and took the tray, "It smells so good! For Qingchen? I'll take it."

"Oh." Mu Xin agreed, and walked away bouncing around.

Su Hailing turned and went back to the room, only to see Mu Qingchen was about to get up, with a lazy and dazed expression on his face, his clothes were not neatly dressed, which looked very seductive.

"Hailing?" Mu Qingchen saw the person clearly, and staggered out of bed.

"You!" Su Hailing was angry and funny, quickly put the tray on the table, stepped forward to help him get dressed, and cleaned up.

Really, can a pregnant woman become a sleepy slob?

"It's bird's nest again." Mu Qingchen frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly, but still obediently finished the porridge in one gulp.

"I only want this child, and I definitely don't want you to suffer like this again." Su Hailing sighed distressedly.

Mu Qingchen resisted the churning feeling in his stomach, and tried his best not to spit out the food he just swallowed.

"The weather is fine today, let's take a walk in the yard and enjoy the sun." Su Hailing said.

"Too lazy to move." Mu Qingchen leaned against her, and after a while, said again, "Lan Qinshuang has entered Beijing?"

"Yes." Su Hailing nodded.

"Lan Qinshuang will definitely be invited to Xiang Qin's banquet tonight, what are you going to do?" Mu Qingchen asked.

Hearing this, Su Hailing couldn't help being stunned.

Indeed, she hadn't considered this question.Now Lan Qinshuang and her [-] soldiers have become the biggest force in Beijing. Anyone who wants to gain status must get her support. Never miss her.

So... what attitude is she going to adopt?Pretending to be hostile, or simply reassuring Qin Xiang and showing his own strength?

Seeing that she was already deep in thought, Mu Qingchen didn't say much.

There are some words, you don't need to point them too clearly, as long as you remind her, she will naturally understand.

Different from the private invitation last time, since it is a formal banquet at the prime minister's mansion, it can't be done casually, especially Su Hailing has already made a plan, and he no longer hides it, and simply changed to the big red palace of the royal family I just used a cloak to cover it up, so as not to be too ostentatious on the road.

Mei Junhan was also helplessly put on a gorgeous light purple dress. The thin veil looked like a cloud of purple mist from a distance, her long black hair was meticulously pulled back, and a The long purple jade hairpin, with a shining pearl on the head of the hairpin, set off that delicate face like a fairy.

Neither of them had any weapons, only Meng Ruyan drove to the prime minister's mansion and handed over the post.

Su Hailing jumped off the ground, helped Mei Junhan's hand to let him get out of the car, his gentle and caring expression made everyone who saw it jealous.

Mei Junhan gave her a secret look.

Although he sometimes changes his appearance for some tasks, what he hates the most is pretending to be a delicate and weak lady!
Bear with it!Su Hailing smiled and comforted him.

"Please, both." A middle-aged woman who looked like a manager greeted her with a smile.

Su Hailing smiled, put his arms around Mei Junhan's waist, and followed her into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The Prime Minister has ordered that if Ms. Su comes, please sit in the study for a while, and it will not be too late to go out after the banquet ahead." The woman said respectfully.

"Your Majesty Qin is really troublesome." Su Hailing nodded lightly.

The woman smiled, led them to the study room, brought them tea and fresh fruits, and then closed the door and retreated.

"It's dead!" Mei Junhan complained.

In fact, he doesn't wear many ornaments on his body, but he never wears jewelry, and he is used to being light.

Su Hailing looked at him with a smile. In terms of appearance, Situ Ye was one of the best, otherwise he would not have been favored by the queen and invited to the Fenghexuan banquet.But Mei Junhan is still superior in comparison, but it's a pity that he is almost slovenly on weekdays, and he really feels a bit reckless.

"It's not like I haven't seen anything interesting!" Mei Junhan said angrily.

"I've never seen Jun Han like this before." Su Hailing said seriously.

"It's so ugly!" Mei Junhan said while uncomfortably arranging the gauze on her body.

Su Hailing could only smile wryly, well, she also admitted that although she was dressed up like this, she was glamorous, but she was not the Mei Junhan who had the character of a plum blossom that she liked.

In the distance, there was a faint commotion.

"Guests are starting to come." Mei Junhan straightened his face.

"Dong dong dong." At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Come in." Su Hailing frowned.At this time, who would look for her alone?Qin Yuxuan is not so bold yet.

"Excuse me." As soon as the door opened, the person who walked in was beyond her expectation.

"Lord Situ?" Su Hailing wondered.

Situ Zhen's expression was a little anxious, a little hopeful, and a little scared. He hated her so much that he looked at her for a long time and didn't take the initiative to speak.

"I don't know what Master Situ has to teach you?" Su Hailing coughed dryly.

"I..." Situ Zhen opened his mouth, spit out a word, and then swallowed it back, as if he was thinking about what to say.

"If you have something to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here." Su Hailing faintly sensed what she wanted to say, and said lightly.

"Ye'er...is he alright?" Situ Zhen finally asked.

Su Hailing was startled, but immediately understood that Qin Xiang must have told her his true identity.

"Tell me, that person... is that boy who came to the Ministry of Punishment that day Ye'er!" Situ Zhen asked eagerly.

"Yes." Su Hailing thought about it for a while, and answered simply.

Presumably yes or no, she already has the answer in her heart, and asking herself is just to prove it for peace of mind.

"Ye'er, my Ye'er is still alive." Situ Zhen's eyes gradually filled with crystal tears, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Su Hailing sighed softly in his heart, how pitiful the parents of the world are...

"Your Highness, I want to see Ye'er." Situ Zhen suddenly knelt down with a "plop".

Chang Hua was taken aback by her actions, and quickly pulled her up.She is a martial artist, Situ Zhen, a literati, can't resist her, so she was forcibly dragged up.

"Your Highness..." Situ Ye looked at her pleadingly.

"I will let him go back, but not now." Su Hailing said.

"Why?" Situ Zhen blurted out.

"Now, in what capacity do you want him to go back?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows, "As we all know, Mr. Situ is dead, and he is now buried in the imperial tomb."

Situ Zhen opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

In fact, she knew the problem as soon as she opened her mouth, but... she knew that her lost and recovered son was close at hand, but she couldn't meet her...

"Lord Situ, I believe that day will not be long." Su Hailing said with deep meaning.

Situ Zhen was shocked, she was not a fool after all, she could be one of the six Shangshu, and immediately understood the hidden meaning of her words.

The capital... I'm afraid the sky will change!
"The banquet is about to begin." Mei Junhan suddenly reminded.

"Exactly." Su Hailing said with a smile, "Master Situ, let's go back to the front first, I'll be there later."

"Yes." Situ Zhen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing..."

"Huh?" Su Hailing was taken aback.

"That..." Situ Zhen said in embarrassment, "The officials who came to the banquet today all brought the boys who have not yet left the cabinet..."

Su Hailing was stunned when he heard the words...

Qin Xiang, what is this?Seeing that she didn't like Qin Yuxuan, so she prepared a large number of men for her to choose?Does she have to install someone in her harem...

Situ Zhen shook his head and went out with a worried face.

Mei Junhan curled her lips, grabbed her hair and pulled it fiercely, and cursed softly, "Disaster water!"

"Oh!" Su Hailing exclaimed, pulled back from the reverie by the severe pain, and smiled wryly, "Don't make things worse for me! I have all of you and I'm not interested in those men!"

"It's better to do what you say." Mei Jun snorted coldly.

Su Hailing shook his head and straightened his hair.

This guy is getting more and more violent...

"Miss Su, the banquet has begun, and the Prime Minister is here to invite you." It was still the same steward.

"Understood." Su Hailing restrained his smile, nodded indifferently, and pulled off the cloak, revealing the red palace attire.

The steward's eyes flashed brightly, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Let's go." Su Hailing took Mei Junhan's hand, with a noble and indifferent expression on his face.
