Shen Ning said "hmm" and closed her eyes.
The secret guard led Ye Langzhong out of the stone house, then locked the stone door, and the footsteps of the two people gradually faded away.
She lay flat on the bed, looked at a lone lamp on the table, and sighed quietly.
Letting Ye Langzhong report for her was the only way she could think of, but Ye Langzhong was not trustworthy. She had no idea whether he would help her report, and she had no way of guessing.
The so-called money moves people's hearts, maybe Ye Langzhong is a greedy person, and he will send her a message for the sake of the gold hairpin. If he is as timid as a mouse and is afraid of Chu Shaoyang, then he may turn around and send her a message. She sold it.
No matter what the outcome, she would take the gamble.
Because this is her only chance!
She did not let Ye Langzhong go to Mo Chuan because she knew that Ye Langzhong was a commoner. He had no way to enter the palace and could not see Mo Chuan. But it would be much easier to see Chu Shaobai. She believed that Chu Shaobai After Bai knows the news about her, he will definitely come to save her!
She had done what she could, and now all she had left was to wait.
As for whether she can win the bet, it is difficult to predict.
She simply didn't speculate on the outcome of the gamble, relaxed her mind, didn't think about anything, and fell asleep soon after.
At the same time, in the Qing'an Hall of the imperial palace, candlelight was shining brightly, people were drinking wine, and a prosperous palace feast was going on.
The huge hall was filled with delicacies, fruits and wine. The ministers drank the wine, tasted the delicacies and enjoyed the moving songs and dances.
Chu Shaoyang was sitting among the people, high-spirited and beaming. He was dressed in a purple slow robe, which made him look extraordinarily handsome, refined and outstanding.
From time to time, ministers came to toast him, flatter him, and praise him and his princess who was unable to attend the palace banquet due to illness. He was almost overwhelmed by the praises of everyone.
Speaking of which, this celebration banquet was set up just for him and Shen Ning.
He was smiling all over his face, his wine was dry, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He had never been so glorious and glorious in his life. Although she brought him this glory, he was also proud of it.
Because she is his princess, he is happier when people praise his princess than they praise himself.
Eastern Qin and Western Chu have been at odds for so many years, and Western Chu has always been beaten and unable to win, and it has never been able to gain the upper hand over Eastern Qin.
But today, Shen Ning made a wonderful turnaround for the Western Chu Kingdom.
Although there are two more games to come, the victory in this first test is enough to inspire everyone's confidence and give them greater hope for the next two games.
Compared with Chu Shaoyang's proud appearance, Mo Chuan, as the emperor, seemed much silent.
He barely spoke from beginning to end, sitting alone on the dragon chair facing north, drinking the wine in his glass alone.
One cup after another, he couldn't remember how many cups he drank. Each cup of wine was extremely bitter in his mouth, but it was not as bitter as his heart.
Mo Chuan remembered that when the banquet started not long ago, Chu Shaoyang arrived late. He could not sit still and could not help but look at the door of the hall, until the eunuch announced loudly:
"Prince Dingyuan has arrived!"
He couldn't help but stood up from the throne, looking forward to it.
But all he saw was Chu Shaoyang's figure, stepping into the palace gate under the candlelight.
