When he saw that on the holy decree written by himself, "Gao Xun, the sixth son of the emperor" turned into "Gao Heng, the third son of the emperor", Emperor Zhou squinted his eyes solemnly, staring at these eye-catching big characters, the hand holding the handle trembled slightly, and his face became gloomy for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

seems to feel that what he is holding at the moment is clearly a hot potato.

But with the naked eye, there is no sign of any change in the handwriting on the ground, and Gao Heng's name is indeed written in black and white.

For a moment, Emperor Zhou even almost held his forehead, suspecting in his heart that he must have drawn up a "false holy decree".

He raised his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials and clan royals who were stretching their necks and waiting for them, especially the two brothers and sisters Yuan Peng and Yuan Xi who were standing in front of him, and the breath in his chest suddenly stagnated, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Do you want him to admit in front of these courtiers and foreign guests that he really made such a low-level mistake?

This is not only the face of him, the emperor, but also the face of the entire Great Zhou, no matter what, he must find a step for himself.

But now, it can be said that he has to send an arrow, even if he knows in his heart that this matter is likely to be the conspiracy of these two Chu people, but at this time, there is no evidence, and the most embarrassing and embarrassed person is himself.

As far as Emperor Zhou is concerned, even if Gao Heng really wants to marry Princess Yuanxi, it is not a big deal, the key is that he, as the emperor of the Ninety-Five, must not lose face.

And seeing the look of disbelief on Emperor Zhou's face, Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Heng had already realized that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty... What's going on? Is there really anything wrong with this decree?"

Empress Zhao saw that Emperor Zhou's face was very ugly, so she hurriedly leaned over and lowered her voice with concern to greet her, but saw that Emperor Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped the holy decree heavily on the table in front of her, which shocked everyone below, and they all bowed their heads to the ground in fear.

Although Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi also bowed their heads together, there was clearly a hint of smugness hidden in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has read the Holy Decree, you must already know in your heart, how to decide, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

Yuan Peng saw that the timing had coincided, so he respectfully performed a courtier gift to Emperor Zhou in a hurry, as if he was confident of victory, and deliberately attached a sentence like a reminder after finishing his words.

"My father always said that this time, your country and my Great Chu can conclude a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and they will be a close family in the future. Your Majesty has always been wise and decisive, and I hope you don't wronged your subordinate's sister. ”

Yuan Peng's words seemed to be just a request, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear it, and he was clearly forcing Emperor Zhou to make a decision, and by the way, he admitted his mistakes in front of everyone.

If the person Princess Yuanxi wanted to get was another prince, not her husband, Cheng Jinzhi would just stand still at the moment, and she was just watching a lively scene.

But now that such a threat is imminent, and it is closely related to herself and Gao Heng, she can no longer stand idly by.

Even if you have to risk your life, it is better than standing here like this and having nothing to do but let others slaughter you.

She stabilized her mind, and quickly thought about various countermeasures in her mind, and when her eyes came into contact with the holy decree that Emperor Zhou threw on several cases, her eyes suddenly flashed.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly took a step back, and while everyone's eyes were focused on Emperor Zhou's body, he quickly turned around and disappeared into the shadows, and walked briskly towards the apse.

When he reappeared, he already had a gilt tray in his hand, and on top of it were four cups of wine made of gold silk glass cups.

"Princess Yuanxi, you really have such a deep affection for my third prince, do you have to make a promise to get your wish?"

Seeing that Yuan Peng was aggressive and refused to back down, Emperor Zhou could only ignore the content of the holy decree for the time being, and deliberately changed the topic.

And after noticing that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly disappeared from his side, Gao Heng couldn't leave without permission because of his identity, so he could only stand in place and eagerly search for her shadow, thinking that she couldn't stand the blow of this incident, so she left first.

After hearing Emperor Zhou's question, he just came back to his senses and wanted to make his position clear, but he saw Cheng Jinzhi walking out of nowhere, holding the tray in his hand unhurriedly, and kneeling towards Emperor Zhou.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty just said, 'There are friends from afar, it is very happy', we have a lot of resources and resources, and welcome guests from all over the world, and this hospitality has always had the custom of meeting friends with wine, so as to show the hospitality of the host. Therefore, the courtiers dared to advocate and deliberately let people prepare this high-quality palace wine, so that the guests of Chu could also deeply feel His Majesty's imperial grace, and also wish that the love between Zhou and Chu would be eternal, the people would be happy, and the world would be peaceful. ”

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly appeared on the top of the main hall with a wine without a head, Emperor Zhou was obviously very surprised and frowned.

If it were according to normal times, he might blame Cheng Jinzhi for his rude behavior, but now that the situation is urgent and difficult to maneuver, Cheng Jinzhi's appearance will undoubtedly temporarily relieve him of this urgent need.

Moreover, her words sounded both in line with the matter and the number of courtesies, and it had the meaning of Chu weak and Zhou Qiang's attachment, so she nodded happily and smiled loudly.

"Haha, a good people are happy, and the world is peaceful. Well, it's rare that Princess Yan is so kind, how can I refuse you a kind offer? ”

Cheng Jinzhi bowed, and then slowly stepped onto the steps and walked towards the dragon seat where Emperor Zhou was.

According to etiquette, these four cups of wine must be taken by Emperor Zhou first, followed by the queen who is the mother of a country, and finally it is the turn of Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi.

Although outsiders don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Cheng Jinzhi's gourd, Gao Heng, who has a keen mind, has already guessed a few clues in his heart when he sees her trip, and the expression on his face has begun to become more and more solemn.

The gazes of countless stares behind him burned his back, and the wine in the cup trembled slightly, just like Cheng Jinzhi's heartbeat that was also speeding up at this time.

Just as she was stepping up the third step, she suddenly slipped under her feet, and if it weren't for the cases in front of her that she could reach out to support, she would have fallen all over the ground in front of everyone to find her teeth.

But at the same time, the wine in the four wine glasses also toppled over at the same time, all of which were sprinkled on the holy decree that Emperor Zhou had placed on the table before, and soon soaked into the silk of the brocade.

With the sound of surprise one after another, Cheng Jinzhi raised his head from several cases with some difficulty, and after seeing Emperor Zhou's "black and white impermanence" face that wanted to kill, he hurriedly endured the pain in his feet and fell to the ground with a thud.
