Chapter 196: The Spy
"Wow...... It turned out to be bloodstone, which could not be bought without a million taels of silver. ”
"Not really, and there are only two in the world!"
The guests were all talking, and Ye Tingchen looked up at the smiling Zhuntuer, not knowing what his purpose was in sending this bloodstone.
As soon as they saw this thing, all the guests stopped the chopsticks in their hands, and the shock in their eyes could not be concealed, and everyone stared directly at the blood-red stone, and there were some hairs in their hearts.
"King Wu doesn't have to be polite, just accept it, I heard that the emperor is seriously ill, and it took a lot of effort to get such a gem, saying that it can nourish the body and help the recovery of the dragon body."
Zhuntur said in his ear close to Ye Tingchen, with a spring breeze smile on his face all the time, and it seemed to others that it was a beautiful picture.
Many women on the side lowered their heads shyly when they saw this scene, but their eyes couldn't help but drift in the direction where the two were talking.
Listening to Zhun Tuer's words, Ye Tingchen was shocked, where did he get the news that the emperor was seriously ill.
Could it be that he still has a spy from the Northern Desert Kingdom in the palace, the emperor specially instructed him not to spread the news of the dragon's poor body, but he didn't expect him to know.
Seeing through the shock in Ye Tingchen's performance, Zhun Tuer also smiled and bowed his hand to Ye Tingchen in front of him without saying anything.
The evil smiled and patted Ye Tingchen on the shoulder, and then he took a seat, and walked over without care, enjoying Ye Tingchen's nervous appearance.
Looking at the arrogant appearance of Zhuntur, Ye Tingchen secretly swallowed this breath, now that there are so many princes and nobles, if they know that the prince of the Northern Desert Kingdom has infiltrated the Shuxia Kingdom and has come to participate in the New Year's Day banquet openly, wouldn't it blow up the nest.
It was just a small fight before, but at this moment, Juntoor can even bring out news about the palace and the like, and this matter is big enough to attract Ye Tingchen's attention.
Ye Tingchen's face really didn't show mountain dew, but there was a cold hair in his heart.
It is only possible to wait until the banquet is over to settle the matter of Dzuntuor, which should not be underestimated.
But why didn't Shen Mo come yet, Shen Li and his wife and daughter had already taken a seat just now, why didn't she come with her?
After this thought was led away by Ye Tingchen, he thought of silence again in his heart, it seemed that in addition to state and family affairs, there was only silence left in Ye Tingchen's eyes.
From time to time, you always have to take it out and mention it, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable.
I don't know when, Yue's side has already reached Ye Tingchen's back.
"Master, Master Chen is looking for Miss Shen, and now Miss Shen is about to walk to the palace with the maid."
After the moon was reported, Ye Tingchen's face relaxed a little, this girl had such a personality, she walked to the New Year's Day banquet, and it is estimated that she is the only one in the entire capital.
There was also a sadness in my heart, secretly blaming myself for being careless and not thinking about Shen Mo's situation in the Shen family, I didn't know how the little girl came alone after such a long journey, and she had to cry and cry out for leg pain after the banquet.
Walking through the crowd, Chen Xiling also quietly returned to the act and talked with the old guijiao.
It seems that Chen Xiling didn't bother the silence either, and Ye Tingchen didn't know why a trace of joy flashed in his heart.
His eyes couldn't stop drifting out of the hall, he couldn't wait left and right, Ye Tingchen was really impatient.
Although he felt worried in his heart, he said unforgivingly:
"This woman has short legs and walks slowly, and she doesn't ride in a carriage!"
muttered in a low voice, and Ye Tingchen directly stepped out of the hall.
Feng saw that his master didn't care about the overall situation, and immediately dodged in front of his master.
Feng glanced around at the stunned guests in the lobby, and the crown prince Yesheng, who was looking directly at Ye Tingchen in front of him, also showed a cautious look in his eyes and said to King Wu in front of him:
"Master, the crown prince and the other princes are in the lobby, if you leave, it will definitely cause their dissatisfaction."
Ye Tingchen was naturally already worried about what the wind said, but when he didn't see the silence, he was very anxious in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything.
If it is changed to a weekday and night, Tingchen will definitely focus on the overall situation, but as the so-called drunken revelation of his true feelings, it turns out that Ye Tingchen's heart is not only silent.
Put the silence and the country on the scales and weigh them, maybe the silence is a little heavier.
It's just that maybe no girl wants to admit that she is so heavy!
"I'll come when I go."
Ye Jun turned his head and forgot to glance at Ye Sheng with a gloomy face behind him, Ye Sheng raised his glass to him indifferently.
Ye Tingchen then arched his hand to the guests below, and a smile appeared on his face at the moment.
Throwing off this sentence, Ye Tingchen strode out of the lobby directly.
Ye Sheng looked at Ye Tingchen who came out of the door with a playful face, it seemed that he was in a hurry, could it be that he already knew that he had laid an ambush for Wu Wangfu!
Ye Sheng's face didn't show any expression, but he was secretly a little panicked in his heart, and then the rest of the guests couldn't sit still at the moment, and they all shook their heads and looked at who Ye Tingchen in front of him was going to pick up at the door?
Who has such a big face that can make Ye Tingchen put down the guests in the entire living room and go out to greet him personally?
After Ye Tingchen went out, he looked around left and right, and saw Shen Mo, who was walking towards Wu Wangfu step by step step from afar, with a tired face on his face, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
was blown by the cold wind at the door, and it was only after a few minutes of sobering up that I realized that I didn't know when I had made an out-of-the-ordinary move.
As a dignified King Wu, he would actually leave a full house of guests just to wait for a silence, if he said it on weekdays, even Ye Tingchen himself would not believe it.
At the moment, I was also looking at the silence in front of me, although my heart was full of lovesickness, and at this moment, loneliness and worry did rise faintly in my heart.
Thinking that since the last meeting with Shen Mo was a little unpleasant, he was also stunned at the moment, and he didn't know how to talk to the girl in front of him
Just wanted to turn around and walk into the house, I don't know when Yue had been hiding behind him, and gently pushed himself to close the door, showing a happy look on his face.
King Wu also shook his head helplessly, and could only stand in place and wait for silence.
"Miss, Miss...... Lord Wu ...... at the door"
Xiaohuan's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw King Wu standing at the door of King Wu's mansion.
Shen Mo didn't notice it at first because he was thinking about things, but after Xiaohuan shouted, he quickly looked up.
Ye Tingchen really threw two beams of eyes at his side, and the silence that looked at it was pounding in his heart.
Thinking that the last time they saw each other was unpleasant, maybe something will happen when they meet again.
And last time he deliberately said such a heavy thing to him, he will definitely take revenge on himself at this New Year's Eve banquet.
Looking at Shen Mo's gaze towards him, Ye Tingchen's face still showed a displeased look, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and looked at her with complicated eyes, and secretly thought in his heart: "Are you still blaming yourself for what happened last time?" ”
Thinking like this, Shen Mo unconsciously slowed down his pace, rubbing the handkerchief in his hand one by one.
"That, Xiaohuan, why don't you go over first, and I'll go back later."
Shen Mo lowered his head, he really didn't want to face Ye Tingchen, that man was arrogant and black-bellied, he definitely didn't have good fruit to eat this time.
It seems that he can think of how he will be ridiculed and teased by Ye Tingchen later, and he faintly retreats in his heart.
In the face of various conspiracies such as Shen Yan and the Yuan family, he did not take a step back in his heart, but he met Ye Tingchen's eyes and retreated.
"Miss, do you think it's possible? Besides, how can there be a reason why a maid is more advanced than a young lady! ”
Xiaohuan grabbed her young lady's arm at once, even if Wu Wangye wanted to punish her, then she would be punished together.
Xiaohuan had a fearless expression that was about to die, and thought that Wu Wangye was still angry because the young lady forced him to marry because of Bailian.
Shen Mo gritted his teeth, gently tightened Xiaohuan's hand, raised his head, and his beautiful eyes met Ye Tingchen's eyes, and he hummed softly at him and made up his mind.
"Forget it, I'll have to face it sooner or later anyway, it's a big deal!"
Shen Mo cheered himself up, his eyes stared straight at Ye Tingchen, he really couldn't afford to provoke and couldn't hide, so he just avoided him.
"Let this king see who came so late and delayed the progress of the New Year's Eve banquet."
Although Ye Tingchen's face was indifferent, his heart became clear because of the silent approach.
After approaching silently, Ye Tingchen's eyes quickly looked at her, and there was a touch of sadness in his heart, and he secretly blamed himself:
"This girl is really not worry-free, I haven't seen it for two days, and I've lost a lot of weight."
Did this woman not eat well again, how did she look thinner than a few days ago?
This dress looks new, is it because she has carefully prepared it for herself?
The fine fabric seemed to be a little familiar, and when she looked closely, she remembered that she had asked Yue to send a few fine silks to Shen Mo, but obviously she didn't use this pair of clothes and didn't know who gave it to her.
The little girl was silent and saw the prince, because ...... Because of the discomfort in the stomach, the time was delayed, and this was the latest. ”
Shen Mo took a deep breath, and then obediently saluted Ye Tingchen, lying with a face that was not red and sweet.
The smile on Shen Mo's face was very sweet, and Ye Tingchen was slightly stunned when she saw it, and she just wanted to reach out and lift her chin but she withdrew her hand when she thought of what happened last time.
"Oh? Upset stomach ......"
Ye Tingchen shook a trace of concern for a moment, but it was nothing to see Shen Mo coming from a distance, why did he feel sick to his stomach when he came to him.
Seeing Ye Tingchen staring at him suspiciously, Shen Mo hurriedly squatted down holding his stomach.
"Oops, my stomach hurts so much, Xiaohuan, why did you say you bought that broken sugar gourd just now, it made my stomach uncomfortable and delayed the night banquet in the palace, how do you say this is good!"
When Xiaohuan heard this, he immediately understood what his young lady meant, it seems that the young lady wants to act with her.
"I'm sorry Miss, it's all wrong with Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan looks at the old man who sells sugar gourds is very pitiful, and he can't sell a sugar gourd for half a day, so I bought one for Miss."
Xiaohuan hurriedly blamed herself decently, and secretly admired Xiaohuan's acting skills in his heart by leaps and bounds, seeing her like that, he almost believed himself.
Ye Tingchen stared at the two masters and servants who were acting with each other in the audience with a playful face, and the more he watched, the more interesting it became.
The two performed in front of them, but Ye Tingchen was not in the mood to pay attention to their singing and harmony, but his eyes fell straight on his silent face.
This face has been thought about over and over again for countless days and nights, and it is almost to the point that she has poured tea and does not want to eat.
It must be that Shen Mo gave himself some poison, so that after he ate it, he would never forget her, if he didn't take advantage of this little girl and spit out the antidote today, how could he let her go?
Just made up his mind to settle accounts with Shen Mo, but when Shen Mo gently raised his head and smiled at him, his heart was almost full.
Expressionlessly, he rolled his eyes in his heart and said lightly: "My God, what did this little girl eat to grow up with, so good at seducing people?" ”
Ye Tingchen showed a strange expression on his face, as if he was noticed by Shen Mo in front of him, Shen Mo was looking at him blankly, and his little hand waved lightly on his face, as if to confirm whether he was in a daze.
King Wu in front of him coughed lightly twice, and his mouth was indeed unforgiving, and he said:
"The New Year's Eve banquet is about to start, how long do you two want this king to watch you perform?"
Ye Tingchen crossed his hands on his chest, he obviously didn't blame them, and he deliberately came out to greet them, so others thought that he was bullying two weak women as a prince.
Hearing Ye Tingchen say this, Shen Mo quickly put away his grinning expression, was helped up by Xiaohuan, smiled awkwardly, and then followed Ye Tingchen into the palace.
Shen silently followed behind Ye Tingchen, but Ye Tingchen's heart was sweet, and he subconsciously reached out to pull Shen Mo's hand.
Shen Mo's face flushed, thinking that there were countless guests around him at the moment, and he shouldn't lose face for him, so he also stretched out his hand.
But Ye Tingchen retracted his hand again, and secretly thought in his heart that the last time he touched her casually, Shen Mo ignored himself for so long, if he didn't have a long memory, I am afraid that he would be coldly looked at by her for several months.
But the next moment, Shen Mo's outstretched hand had already held him!
The warmth coming from his hand also made Ye Tingchen stunned and glanced back at Shen Mo, but Shen Mo didn't react, and looked up at the scene in front of him.
Shen Mo didn't want to come to this kind of occasion too early, so he chose not to take the carriage with Shen Liyuan, but chose to walk, the appearance of Zhun Tuer was purely accidental, and getting into his carriage was also an accident.
However, because of the grinding on the road, Shen Mo also grinded until the time when the night banquet was about to start, thinking that he would sneak in after the start and leave early when it was almost over.
Who would have thought that Ye Tingchen would actually stand at the door and wait for him in person, this is really a big trouble.
Following behind Ye Tingchen, Shen Mo rolled his eyes angrily, anyway, Ye Tingchen didn't have eyes behind him.
Ye Tingchen really didn't have long eyes behind him, but there was a face in his heart that had already smiled, and there was a cold feeling in his hand, and his heart was beating wildly.
Seeing Ye Tingchen's serious face, Shen Mo was also a thing, and gently scratched the itchy flesh on his waist.
Ye Tingchen suddenly turned his head and glared at Shen Mo, Shen Mo pretended to be innocent with a cute face, and his eyes were floating around.
I thought that Ye Tingchen was waiting for him at the door because the guests had not yet arrived, but he didn't expect that the hall was full of people, and he should have passed through the back door according to his identity.
However, Ye Tingchen actually took him to the lobby, so wouldn't he have to sneak around in front of everyone?
"Lord Wu, I'll just enter from the back hall, I'll go first."
Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, Shen Mo should also be a little uncomfortable, and gently broke free of Ye Tingchen's hand, and his body wanted to go to the back hall.
Ye Tingchen didn't agree, so he pulled her back and walked forward, and the strength in Shen Mo's hand showed that the man in front of him was holding tighter!
Suddenly facing Ye Tingchen's dark eyes, there seems to be a kind of magic that makes people fall deeply.
"There is a punishment for coming late."
Ye Tingchen's thin lips spit out a few words, and two circles of redness immediately appeared on Shen Mo's face, and he looked away from his gaze.
And Shen Yan, who was sitting a little bored for a while, was sending a mouthful of longevity noodles to his mouth, but his eyes were looking around at Zhun Tuer in front of him.
But he found that after Ye Tingchen came in from the door, there was a person behind him.
The chopsticks in his hand also fell to the ground quietly, and a mouthful of longevity noodles in his mouth fell into the bowl.
The Yuan family on the side was about to reach out and pick up the vegetables, but his brows were furrowed by this mouthful of longevity noodles.
Ye Tingchen actually pulled ...... behind him Silent?!
This scene was particularly dazzling in Shen Yan's eyes, and King Wu actually made such an intimate action to her.
Shen Yan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he patted his chest vigorously, trying to calm himself down.
She kept comforting herself in her heart: "There is still a chance and a chance, that girl is just lucky." ”
Shen Yan turned to show a grim smile, how long could she be proud of her silence, and after a while, what she had worked so hard to hide was revealed, and see how miserable she cried.
"Little county lord, look at the woman behind the prince......"
Mama Gao watched the prince enter the lobby, followed by a woman who looked like a young lady, walking silently with a little maid.
Liu Yun didn't care, she looked up casually and saw the woman behind her cousin, and was stunned.
took a mouthful of food in his hand, but instead of sending it to his mouth, he touched his nose, burned a mouthful and hurriedly sobered up.
She ...... The person who stopped our carriage in the capital that day? ”
Liu Yun remembered that she urgently moved back to the palace from Jingxin Garden that day, but she didn't expect to be stopped by her and delayed for a long time.
"It's her, little county lord, do you want to tell the prince?"
As soon as Mama Gao returned home, she wanted to tell the prince that they had been stopped and wanted justice.
"No, it's really our fault that we took a shortcut to the capital market, and if my cousin knew about it, he would definitely blame me."
Liu Yun lives in King Wu's mansion all the year round, and she is naturally clear about her cousin's personality.
Since it is you who made your mistake first, you will be ruthless even if you are close.
But if she doesn't let her cousin seek justice, she can seek justice herself.
Before, because she was in a hurry, Liu Yun didn't have time to investigate the background of the woman who stopped the carriage, but now it's okay, and she comes directly to her eyes.
The person is in front of him, but why did his cousin bring her in, what is the relationship between him and Ye Tingchen?
"Mama, you asked the guards to investigate the details of the woman, and the investigation is clear and tell me."
Liu Yun arranged it like this, and Mama Gao immediately took advantage of the excitement and quietly left the palace hall.
Liu Yun drank tea dignifiedly, after all, she was the daughter of the former king of Zhongshan County, and the face of her family had to be maintained wirelessly on this occasion.
At this moment, in the shock on the faces of all the guests, Ye Tingchen also sat down in his position gently with silence.
The action was so casual, and so careless, but it seemed so dazzling in everyone's eyes.
It can make many women's eyes red, and many guests present are amazed, and their eyes drift to silence intentionally or unintentionally.
The chopsticks in Shen Yan's hand were also unstable, and they fell into the bowl with one bite, and the people at the same table as him also looked at Shen Yan in front of him and didn't know what to say.
Shen Yan also smiled awkwardly, he couldn't eat with chopsticks, and his eyes looked straight at Shen Mo and Ye Tingchen who were on the seat.
And Liu Yun on the side was also at a loss at the moment, taking a bite of food and being stunned in mid-air, not sending it into his mouth.
Liu Yun glanced casually in the direction of her cousin, just in time to see him laughing with the woman.
Such a smiling face has never appeared in front of him, if it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes, Liu Yun couldn't believe that his cousin still had such a side.
"Your punishment is too much, knowing that I deliberately walked away alone to avoid these people, and now you just take me around."
Silently watching those ladies talk about themselves, it was really a headache to be noisy.
Silent eyes floated around, as if everyone's eyes fell on themselves.
Tonight was too conspicuous, with a mixture of envy, surprise, amazement, and a look or two of resentment in those eyes.
He glanced helplessly at Yejun, who was sitting next to him, with a look of blame on his face, but Yejun was smiling like a child and constantly adding vegetables to himself.
