Wanyan Yuan held the wine glass over with trembling hands, his movements were extremely slow, as if the wine glass in his hand had a mighty force, but when it was close to his mouth, he stopped, with a look of extreme struggle on his face.
Soon other people in the hall also realized the abnormality, and looked at him in surprise. Some careful people even started to guess, is there something wrong with this wine
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely strange again. Seeing that Wanyan Yuan hadn't drank, Wanyan Quan's anger rose again, and he snorted coldly: "Why doesn't King Changsheng drink?"
The expression on Wanyan Yuan's face seemed to be of great determination, he put the wine glass on the table, and replied: "Brother Huang, I have been ill recently, the doctor told me not to drink alcohol, I hope Brother Huang will forgive me. "
"Is your body sick?" Wan Yanquan sneered, "Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan is here to show King Chang Sheng what disease he has."
Wanyan Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "My brother has suffered from insomnia and night sweats recently, and he has been having nightmares all night, so the doctor told me to cultivate myself and avoid drinking alcohol, so I don't bother the doctor." It's not a complete wimp, but he came up with a plausible reason at the critical moment, even if the imperial doctor came later, he wouldn't be afraid, as long as he insisted that something was wrong in his head, no matter how clever the imperial doctor was, he would not be afraid. There's no way to tell if he's telling a lie.
"Really?" Wan Yanquan was noncommittal, and looked at him quietly. When all the ministers began to worry about whether Long Yan would be furious, he smiled, "Since King Chang Sheng is ill, then I I won't persuade you to drink."
"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Wanyan Yuan hurriedly thanked him, but his heart was icy cold, he really knew his elder brother too well, the more he laughed, the stronger the murderous intent in his heart.
The banquet was able to continue again, but after the episodes of Yang Guo resisting the marriage and Wanyan Yuan refusing to drink, there was always a strange atmosphere in the eyes of the ministers.
After staying for a while, Wanyan Yuan knew that it was too dangerous to continue to stay. He was able to deal with the poisoned wine just now. If the emperor did something else, he might not be so lucky. The more he thought about it, the more timid he became. Wan Yanquan narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything, and waved his hand to signal him to go quickly.
After Wanyan Yuan left the banquet, the hall fell into a short period of tranquility again, until a eunuch hurriedly ran to report: "Report to the emperor, King Changsheng said... say..."
"What?" Wanyan Quan frowned like a Sichuan character.
"Slave... I dare not say it." The eunuch was sweating profusely, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Bastard! I asked you to tell me!" Wanyan Quan slapped the dragon chair heavily, "If you hesitate again, believe it or not, I will cut you?"
"King Chang Sheng said that he... said that he was unwell, so he took his leave first, and now he has left the palace." As soon as the eunuch's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
Don't say today is the emperor's birthday, it is an ordinary day, as a courtier enters the palace to face the saint, there is no reason to leave casually without the emperor's willingness, King Changsheng's move is tantamount to blatantly contemptuous of the emperor, completely tearing the face off with the emperor up.
bang!
Wan Yanquan threw all the flagons and quilts on the table to the ground: "Come on! Who will catch this bastard for me?"
All the ministers in the palace looked at each other in blank dismay. They all knew that the open and secret battle between the emperor and Chang Sheng Wang had reached a fever pitch recently. Although the emperor now seemed to have the upper hand, Chang Sheng Wang also had considerable strength. Who would know who would win at the last moment
These people who can sit in the palace now are all old foxes. The reason why they dare not express their opinions easily is because they are worried that King Changsheng will settle accounts after the fall, but the main reason is that this is a matter between their two brothers. Who knows? Will the emperor suddenly come to some kind of brotherly harmony? Those who express their opinions in advance will be tragic. In history, the emperor turned around and was given by the emperor. Such things happen endlessly. None of these old foxes are willing to take this risk.
"No one is going out, do you want me to go out in person?" Wanyan Quan was furious when no one responded for a long time.
"I would like to go." Yang Guo suddenly got up.
Song Qingshu was secretly startled, since when did this kid Yang Guo become so enthusiastic about the court battles in the Kingdom of Jin
Only then did Wan Yanquan turn his anger into joy: "I have heard that Bingde's martial arts are very strong, so it is very appropriate to entrust this task to you. You bring fifty guards and 'invite' Chang Sheng Wang back. If he has any objections on the way, I allow you to use force."
"Okay." Yang Guo left a word coolly, then turned and walked out.
Then everyone in His Highness whispered to each other, discussing whether Yang Guo's move meant that Zhao Wang's family had completely broken with Chang Sheng Wang, but Song Qingshu judged from the expressions of the officials of Zhao Wang's family that they should also be deceived. in the drum.
The banquet continued, but no one was interested in watching the dancing maids, and everyone unconsciously glanced towards the entrance of the palace.
Song Qingshu shook his head secretly, so many things happened, and now in this weird atmosphere, it is better to end the banquet early, it is too much to suffer here.
Soon the sound of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the hall, and all the ministers turned their heads to look back, but only the head of the guards who had followed Yang Guo came back, and they couldn't help showing puzzled expressions.
Wan Yanquan frowned: "Where is King Changsheng? Where is Bingde?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Bingde, he...he..." The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, as if he was thinking about how to speak, "As soon as Lord Bingde left the palace gate, he used his light skills and ran away without a trace. We tried our best to catch up with you." There was no trace of him."
Wanyan Quan laughed back angrily: "Okay, that's great, my two brothers are both very good!" After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing, Yang Guo is really good at it, he was forced to marry by the emperor, he simply took a walk as the best policy, he really has character.
There was a bang sound not far away, it turned out that Pucha Qiucao couldn't hold the cup in her hand, and fell directly to the ground, but at this time, no one had the time to pay attention to her, they all gathered together in twos and threes, whispering, and felt a storm Want to come to the momentum.
A banquet broke up unhappily like this, and everyone left the palace one after another.
"Brother Huang is really angry this time, and I don't know why the second brother got into such a fight with him." After returning home, Ge Bi said with a worried face. Although she and Wan Yanyuan were not born to the same mother, they are still brothers and sisters after all, so naturally they don't want to see the situation where brothers can kill each other.
"After all, it's not because of that seat..." Song Qingshu hurriedly comforted him. After a while, someone suddenly sent a secret letter. Song Qingshu opened it, and his expression changed: Great changes in the palace, come!
