On the throne, Chu Yan looked thin even in a heavy king's dress, his pale face was as good as ever, and he covered the corners of his mouth and said weakly: "Ahem, cough...... The king was not in good health, and originally wanted the prince Chu Zhao to attend the reward ceremony a few days later instead of the king, but Chu Zhao was also sick and could not move, so the king wanted to choose another reward ambassador among the crowd and allowed himself to be recommended. ”

After Chu Yan finished speaking, the officials of the various departments standing below, except for the king's faction represented by Shen Chongshan, the rest of the people all had slightly moved their faces.

Especially the four cabinet ministers who supported Chu Zhao glanced at each other with complicated expressions.

The foreign minister who belonged to Chu Yan's faction immediately raised his voice respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, General Shen Chongshan has made countless contributions to this great victory and support the country, and General Shen should be the reward ambassador. ”

More than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense agreed: "That's right, although His Royal Highness is more noble, but after all, he has no military merits and is seriously ill, Shen Chongshan is indeed the most suitable general!" ”

Several ministers who supported Chu Zhao wanted to say something to refute it, but they couldn't say it after thinking for a while.

Since Chu Zhao was inexplicably ill, even their door-to-door requests were refused, and at this moment, they couldn't figure out Chu Zhao's condition, and it was useless to speak rashly.

So just shut up.

After hearing the officials' words, Chu Yan pretended to cough a few more times, and then made a decision: "Since you all nominated General Shen, then this king will appoint General Shen ......"

"Who says I'm too sick to attend the ceremony?"

Outside the meeting hall, Chu Zhaoren did not enter the door, and his raised voice sounded first.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zhao's body in a red prince's dress walked into the hall neatly, and his face, which was over forty years old but still handsome, was full of arrogance.

After a cursory salute to Chu Yan on the throne, Chu Zhao turned to look directly at the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had just spoken, and his voice was cold: "You can see clearly, this king is in good health, what does it look like he is seriously ill?" ”

Foreign Ministry officials looked at each other.

Those ministers who supported Chu Zhao instantly carried the wind under their feet, and their faces were proud!

"Ahem, ahem...... Chu Zhao, your attitude seems to be too strong. In fact, it's not just them, even this king has heard that you have a sudden illness and can't go out......"

Chu Zhao raised his head high and interrupted Chu Yan's words with words: "Your Majesty, the rumors outside are not credible, I just had a rheumatic attack, and I have been cured by inviting an expert in this field to treat it." Unlike His Majesty, who is still sick, and even struggles to speak, I don't know how much time I have left......"

After speaking, Chu Zhao seemed to suddenly realize that he had said the wrong thing, and his face was remorseful: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, I just told the truth." ”

Chu Yan's eyes were suddenly sharp.

Secretly exchanged a look with Shen Chongshan, who was standing at the head of the officials, and suddenly felt strange in his heart, why did Chu Zhao seem to have changed today?

Although Chu Zhao is usually arrogant, in front of Chu Yan, he still knows restraint.

Today, however, he is especially rampant, and it seems that he wants everyone to know that he intends to take the throne!

Chu Yan was puzzled in his heart, but his face did not show it at all.

And as if echoing Chu Zhao's words, he coughed desperately a few times, his face became even paler, and he said weakly: "Chu Zhao, since you have nothing to do, then the reward ceremony is still presided over by you, this king is not feeling well, you can retreat if you have nothing to do." ”

After Chu Zhao heard this, the smile on his well-defined face couldn't be hidden.

After the meeting ended, Chu Yan took Shen Chongshan back to the heavily guarded dormitory, and at a glance he saw Helan Sulfone sitting on the sofa coldly.

Chu Yan changed his terminally ill state in the council hall, and walked towards Helan Sulfone with a high spirit, and his voice was loud: "Sulfone! ”

Helan Sulfone suddenly got up and saluted Chu Yan: "Father." ”

Shen Chongshan also gave Helan a rare salute: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Helan Sulfone glanced at Shen Chongshan coldly and complicatedly, staring at the newly grown beards under the bridge of his nose, with strange eyes.

Shen Chongshan frowned, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

But soon, his mind was attracted to Chu Yan.

The three of them sat down on the couch, and the maid stepped back with tea and snacks.

Chu Yan held the delicate teacup with a pondering face: "This Chu Zhao doesn't know which master he met, not only was he paralyzed, but even his whole personality changed, and his ambition was revealed. In today's council hall, he dared to directly mock my life! ”

"Chu Zhao is healed, isn't it just in line with Your Majesty's wishes? You also said a few days ago that if he hasn't been treated before the reward conference, let Qinghan help him. ”

Chu Yan glanced at Shen Chongshan with a smile, "If he doesn't recover, wouldn't the great gift that this king prepared for him useless?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Shen Chongshan and Chu Yan glanced at each other and laughed out loud.

Helan Chuan sat on the single sofa by herself, her expression on her fair and beautiful cold face was slightly dignified, especially when her eyes always swept to Shen Chongshan inadvertently, and the whole person looked very depressed.

Chu Yan soon discovered Helan Sulfone's abnormality.

Putting down the teacup, he asked earnestly: "Sulfone, what are you always staring at General Shen?" ”

Shen Chongshan also looked at Helan Sulfone with a puzzled face, and he also felt Helan Sulfone's quiet gaze.

Helan suddenly looked away, and his tone was indifferent: "It's okay, it's just that I saw General Shen shaved his beard, and I didn't feel comfortable." ”

was mentioned again, and the corners of Shen Chongshan's mouth twitched.

Chu Yan sneered very unceremoniously: "Haha...... Don't say it's you, even when I suddenly saw General Shen without a beard, I secretly wondered for a long time. ”

Shen Chongshan coughed dryly, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction.

Chu Yan glanced at Helan Sulfone and motioned for him not to mention this matter again.

Then he changed the topic and looked at Helan Sulfone with an old father's extremely expectant look: "Sulfone, you have been living in the little divine doctor's house for this time, I don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Helan was caught off guard, and was choked by the tea in an instant, her fair face quickly flushed, and her ears were red!

When Shen Chongshan heard this, he was full of excitement, and almost subconsciously retorted: "Your Majesty, my niece is only eighteen years old this year, and she is still at school age, and His Royal Highness the Prince is twenty-four, and the two are not a good match!" ”

When he said this, Chu Yan was not happy, and immediately made a tiger face: "General Shen, what do you mean, sulfone is not worthy of Shen Qinghan?" ”

"Your Majesty, my niece is still young, and she should focus on her studies."

"You are an uncle, what qualifications do you have to interfere in Shen Qinghan's affairs?"

Chu Yan's words hit Shen Chongshan's heart, and he was speechless!

He's an uncle......

This feels so wronged!

Suddenly, there was tension in the air, and Chu Yan and Shen Chongshan did not give in to each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.
