The banquet ended in a very unfriendly state, and Xiao Zhan, who had come well, was detained in the palace like this, saying that he would be released the next day, but in the eyes of everyone, this was just a lie made up by Han Jian, the king of the East, and it would not be fulfilled at all. Xiao Zhan will become the second Yang Xi, and will be a prisoner of the subordinates and used as a bargaining chip for the political exchange, as for whether Xiao Zhan will exchange Yang Xi back, no one knows.

As for Xue Qian's detention, in the eyes of some people, they think that he is taking the blame for his tongue, and if he hadn't said a lot in the palace of the Wei Dynasty, he would not have been regarded as the object of detention. After all, a Xue Qian was nothing in the eyes of the people of the Wei Dynasty.

In this situation, the envoys of the Qi Dynasty, except for Xiao Zhan and Xue Qian, were all allowed back, although these people were a little restless, but the most important thing in danger was to save their lives. Now the Wei Dynasty people don't seem to have any interest in embarrassing them, so they may be safe for the time being.

But on this night, a lot of things happened that were unexpected.

The palace feast ended early, but it had just darkened, and even some people had not yet entered the rhythm of the feast. In this way, Xiao Zhan himself seemed to have taken the initiative to be taken away, and Yang Rui, who was a participant in the incident, was also a little confused, and things were a little unexpected for her.

Han Jian had an explanation in advance, and was going to knock the Southern Dynasty people hard at this banquet, at least in exchange for some food, whether it was used as military food, or to raise it for disaster relief, in short, he couldn't let that Qi Dynasty person sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in vain. But in the end, Han Jian asked Xiao Zhan to be detained, which really surprised her, for the detention of Xiao Zhan in exchange for Yang Xi, others thought it was reliable, but Yang Rui, as the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, knew that this matter was not feasible at all.

The banquet ends. Han Jian did not leave the palace, but stayed on the pretext of staying in the palace to report to Yang Rui. In the eyes of others, this is normal, but what Han Jian did when he stayed was known only to him and Yang Rui.

At the time of the last shift, in Yang Rui's bedroom in the palace, Yang Rui and Han Jian entered the palace before and after. Hui'er, who also accompanied her to the banquet, stood very carefully at the door, not letting other unknown little eunuchs and palace maids approach.

"If you don't know, you still think that the king of the east is singing and harmonizing with the princess of the Southern Dynasty, and pretending to show others a show!" Yang Rui came up and said unceremoniously.

Han Jian and Xiao Zhan's appearance in the Wenwu Hall could not be more appropriately described as excessive. One seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, and the other was adding fuel to the fire, but Han Jian knew that there was no common language between him and Xiao Zhan for the time being, and it was not true to say that it was a singing and a harmony.

“…… What did you say in her ear at the end? Yang Rui saw that Han Jian didn't speak. I added.

"Rui'er, you really want to know?" Han Jian asked slowly while sipping tea.

Yang Rui was a little annoyed and said: "Poor me is still in the dark by you, you want to continue to hide it in your heart when you want to, and don't talk to me." Is this what you call trusting one another? ”

Yang Rui was angry because no matter what she had before, Han Jian insisted on breaking the casserole and asking to the end, but now it's good, she was used as a gun. At the end of the day, I don't know anything. She herself was also very strange why Xiao Zhan, who seemed to be very excited before. will be so obedient and obedient without resistance, could it be said that there is already an "adultery" between Han Jian and Xiao Zhan?

Han Jian smiled: "It seems that Rui'er, you are a little jealous." ”

Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian without explanation, in fact, there was nothing to explain. As a woman, she still has a keen sense of her rival in love, and she can also feel that Han Jian's attitude towards Xiao Zhan is not ordinary. Some are beyond the scope of the relationship between men and women, but it is not enough to say that they are completely jealous. She mainly didn't want to be kept in the dark.

"Actually, there's nothing to say, the assassins sent by the Southern Dynasty themselves to assassinate have already arrived in Luoyang." Han Jian said indifferently, "I just reminded her." Just let her be careful. ”

"Do you really think everyone else is stupid?" Yang Rui's tone was dissatisfied.

Han Jian spread his hands and said, "Believe it or not." I just whispered a few names in her ear, all of them were the names of assassins sent by the Southern Dynasties, in fact, there were people sent by Zhu Tongjing, and if you put yourself in Rui'er's shoes, you probably understand the complexity in her heart. ”

Yang Rui was stunned, she didn't expect this. It seems that the Southern Dynasty sent assassins in the past, after all, Xiao Zhan himself had many political enemies in the Southern Dynasty. But if Zhu Tongjing also sent someone to kill her, then Xiao Zhan himself might be a little more confused, because now everyone, including herself, sees her as Zhu Tongjing's "comrade". If Zhu Tongjing wants her to die, then the meaning of her existence in the Southern Dynasty will be very embarrassing, doesn't everyone want her to die?

"Is this news reliable?" Yang Rui asked in surprise, in Yang Rui's opinion, everyone in the Southern Dynasty wanted to kill Xiao Zhan, at least Zhu Tongjing wouldn't. After all, Zhu Tongjing needs Xiao's political figures as bargaining chips, and Xiao Zhan is the bargaining chip that Zhu Tongjing has always held in his hand, how could he suddenly give up and give up?

In the Southern Dynasties, whether traitors were in power or warlords were separating, after all, it was necessary to rely on the prestige of the royal family to deter the overall situation. Needless to say, Empress Dowager He's party is her own Xiao family's bargaining chips in her hands, and her son, who is also the little emperor of the Qi Dynasty. Although Xie Rumo is arbitrary and considers himself to be half an emperor, he still wants to push Xiao Tong out of the way after all. In the end, the two factions of the Qi Dynasty, Xiao Ling and Zhu Tongjing, Xiao Ling himself is a descendant of the Xiao family, Zhu Tongjing's position is very embarrassing, he has been nominally the lackey of the Empress Dowager He before, and now he is self-reliant, and he has always been looking forward to Xiao Zhan's horse. Now that Zhu Tongjing is going to kill Xiao Zhan, in Yang Rui's opinion, this Zhu Tongjing inevitably has a feeling of cutting off his meridians.

"Rui'er, you don't seem to believe much." Han Jian said, "Actually, after I heard the news at first, I didn't believe it. After all, although this Princess Yongdan is not in the Southern Dynasty and has no power, she is a figure supported by the party surnamed Zhu after all. The surname Zhu also attracted many people because of this. But think about it again, in the political situation of the Southern Dynasty, there is no room for the existence of an eldest princess, and the reason is to talk about Rui'er, your throne, everyone is afraid that the Southern Dynasty will also come out with an eldest princess in power, in the chaotic situation, it was a means for the Xie Party to break up the enemy camp, and sent Xiao Zhan to send an envoy, but for a while it was approved by other forces. Now that Xiao Zhan has arrived in our dynasty, he has been sacrificed, and the people of the Southern Dynasty are afraid that Xiao Zhan will be detained and will be exchanged for political interests, and it is not surprising that some people want to assassinate him secretly. ”

"Then it shouldn't be someone surnamed Zhu who sent someone to kill!" Yang Rui questioned.

Han Jian sneered: "Rui'er thinks that the person surnamed Zhu is a loyal minister with a fierce and loyal heart? Looking at his two-faced posture, you should understand how untrustworthy this person is. first took refuge in the imperial court, why did the queen mother use it, and then sought self-reliance, and now in the Southern Dynasty, it has become the second Xie Rumo's existence, what else can such a person not do? Even her Princess Yongdan herself is not surprised that she will be completely abandoned by the surname Zhu, why are you surprised Rui'er? ”

Yang Rui didn't continue, because she was indeed too "unreasonable" in this matter and criticized Han Jian a little.

The main reason is that she is from the position of a woman, if she and Han Jian are just monarchs and ministers, she doesn't have to care so much about some things. On the contrary, because of Han Jian's attitude today, with her understanding of Han Jian, if the people of the Southern Dynasties really abandoned Xiao Zhan's chess piece, it is very likely that Han Jian will pick it up and use it. This is not a vain worry, but a very rational consideration.

Han Jian continued: "The reason why Princess Nayongdan agreed to stay in the palace is also because I said that there will be results tonight, I believe that at this time, those people sent by the Southern Dynasty are already being rounded up, and there will be results before dawn." When the time comes, you can see if I'm alarmist, or if it's true. ”

Yang Rui said a little apologetically: "That's because the concubine has too much heart, don't blame the husband." ”

Han Jian smiled, this time Yang Rui "admitted his mistake" so quickly, in his opinion, it was not a good thing. Yang Rui may have been forced to admit his mistakes, not from the bottom of his heart. In the final analysis, Yang Rui still cares too much about a positive reaction from the court, and ignores some things outside the court. In Yang Rui's mind, the affairs of the Northern Dynasty and the affairs of the Southern Dynasty cannot be classified together, after all, no matter how complicated the Southern Dynasty is, it has nothing to do with the Northern Dynasty for the time being. But in the eyes of Han Jian, the affairs of the Southern Dynasty are also the affairs of the Northern Dynasties, because the two are closer to one at present, and any changes in the political situation of the Southern Dynasties will be related to the political stability of the Northern Dynasties for the first time.

Han Jian roughly said what he investigated about the assassins of the Southern Dynasty, and Yang Rui nodded slightly: "I see." ”

"Now Rui'er, do you believe that I am not secretly colluding with Princess Yongdan?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

Yang Rui sighed: "You explained it clearly earlier, why did you let the concubine secretly worry?" But I can't stand my husband's temperament, I have more things hidden in my heart than anyone else, in the Wenwu Hall before, except for yourself, no one else knows, and when things come to the end, I am kept in the dark, and I want to pretend to be the same as you. I just want to laugh, and I feel very tired of laughing, has there ever been sincerity under the mask? ”

Han Jian stepped forward to comfort him, and Yang Rui's expression also improved.

To make it clear, Yang Rui doesn't have as much heart as before. At this time, Yang Rui was already a time of many hearts, after all, she and Han Jian belonged to the "matchless fornication", and they could not be brought to the table after all. For Han Jian, this may not be nothing, after all, he is young, and now he has the right to fight and speak, and Yang Rui can't think about it too much. Once this matter is known to outsiders, others can't help but wonder if she, Yang Rui, was forced by the shape and had to commit herself to the East King in exchange for the East King's support for the imperial court.
