Sui Chen's face showed surprise, and he said with a smile, "What did the Emperor of Eastern Qi do so politely, the congratulatory gift I gave to the Emperor of Eastern Qi at the beginning is not a ......."

Sui Chen's originally smiling face stiffened a little when he saw the box that Jiang Heng had opened, and even darkened a little. The national teacher knew that the situation was not right, and hurriedly poked his head out to see what the congratulatory gift Jiang Heng was holding, and when he saw the things in the box, he was also stunned.

"What do you mean by that? This is a gift from me to Zhaohua, why did the Emperor of Eastern Qi come back at this time, did he return it instead of Zhaohua? Sui Chen looked at Shen Cuobai coldly, and the atmosphere in the air was a little dignified.

"That's not the case," Shen Cuobai smiled faintly, walked to Jiang Heng's side, and took out Sui Chen's order representing the identity of the crown prince, "This token was given to Zhaohua on behalf of Emperor Daduan when you were the crown prince, and now that you are no longer the prince, this token has no meaning." ”

"What the Emperor of Eastern Qi said is that the old man thinks that since this token can reach the hands of the Emperor of Eastern Qi, it must be useless for the Lord of Zhaohua, and there is nothing wrong with returning it now."

The national teacher saluted to Sui Chen, stood up and said. The meaning of the token is also clear, but the Zhaohua County Lord jumped off the cliff, obviously not as a personal thing. In this case, there is nothing wrong with taking it back.

Sui Chen's face became better for a long time after the national teacher spoke, "Thank you Emperor Dongqi for the gift, I like it very much." ”

The national teacher breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up from his seat, took the brocade box from Jiang Heng's hand instead of Sui Chen, and gently placed it in front of Sui Chen's table. Shen Cuobai smiled faintly, and sat down in his place again.

"In fact, gifts are not important, as the saying goes, is it true that gifts are light and affection is heavy? As long as Dongqi and Daduan can coexist peacefully, it is the best gift. The national teacher wanted to adjust the atmosphere in the hall, and said with a smile.

Shen Cuobai's expression was faint, his eyes fell on the food on the table in front of him, but Sui Chen's expression was more like a cold war, drinking sip of stuffy wine. The national teacher could only shake his head helplessly, these two people were together, and there was already a difference in momentum. Rao is Sui Chen did everything possible to get the throne, but in the end he was still not as powerful as Shen Cuobai's emperor.

"Does Emperor Daduan know why Ling Zun agreed not to let Zhaohua marry in the first place? After all, Ling Zun personally ordered you to go to Dongqi to ask for a kiss, and going back on your word is the biggest disrespect to you. Shen Cuobai raised his glass and looked at Sui Chen with a smile.

"What is the reason?" Sui Chen asked eagerly, what happened at the beginning made Sui Chen entangled for a long time, always thinking that it was because of the internal affairs of Daduan at that time, but now it doesn't seem to be so simple.

Shen Cuobai drank the wine in his hand, looked at the wine glass in front of him with deep eyes, and fell into a long deep thought.

"When I first sent a letter in the form of a private message, it was not a national letter, just to let you relax your guard. I made a deal with your father, as long as you are willing to give up marrying Wei Zhaohua, I am willing to exchange ten cities in exchange! ”

“

Then why didn't we know at that time, did the ministers of Eastern Qi agree with you to do this? Does Wei Zhaohua agree with you doing this? Sui Chen's eyes widened and he said in surprise.

Shen Cuobai smiled bitterly, "What I said is that after a year, I will draw the city over, and I will use my handwritten letter as evidence. ”

The national teacher, Sui Chen, and even Jiang Heng behind Shen Cuobai were all stunned in place. A year later, if it was a normal situation, people would have forgotten about Sui Chen's proposal to marry Wei Zhaohua, and no one would have thought that suddenly cutting the land was for a long time ago. There is only one purpose for this, which is to protect Wei Zhaohua!

Shen Cuobai looked at Sui Chen's surprised appearance and seemed to be very satisfied, and then said, "But you helped me, and you also hurt me." After Zhaohua disappeared three years ago, you were imprisoned in Dongqi by Lord Su, and you went back with a word. I have received a private message from your father, the Emperor, which is the original letter I had made. ”

Shen Cuobai paused, and then said, "I exchanged ten cities for Zhaohua, and your father and emperor exchanged ten cities for you." It seems fair, but in fact, it is I who suffers in the end. At least you returned to Daduan safely, what about my Zhaohua? ”

Shen Cuobai's words suddenly made the scene silent. Neither Sui Chen nor the national teacher spoke, and what Shen Cuobai said was something they didn't know, or even thought of. Indeed, looking at it this way, the biggest loss is Shen Cuobai.

Shen Cuobai drank all the wine in the wine jug, put the wine glass on the table heavily, and left with his sleeves. And the national teacher and Sui Chen looked at Shen Cuobai's back, and they could only be stunned in place.

A banquet broke up unhappily, and when Shen Cuobai went out to the Le Palace, it was already midnight.

"Your Majesty, it's not early, let's go back and rest early." Jiang Heng said next to him, since he gave the gift, Shen Cuobai has been a little distracted. After so many years, no one can heal the pain left by Wei Zhaohua.

Shen Cuobai raised his eyes, and just saw a pavilion, with a wry smile on his face, "This Sui Chen has really done enough to act, and he even built a Bai Xu Pavilion in this Daduan Palace!" I have guarded Bai Xuting in Eastern Qi for three years, could it be that Sui Chen has guarded here for three years? ”

Shen Cuobai was slightly drunk, and his steps under his feet were messy, as if he was about to fall down if he didn't pay attention. Jiang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but was thrown away by Shen Cuobai again.

"Your Majesty, the matter has passed, the most important thing is to take care of your body!"

Shen Cuobai seemed to be a little sober, turned his head to look at Jiang Heng and smiled, "Jiang Heng, I will definitely be able to see Wei Zhaohua again." She must not be dead! ”

Jiang Heng looked at Shen Cuobai's firmness, and suddenly he couldn't come to his senses, that is, this panicked, Shen Cuobai had already fallen into the pool next to Bai Xu Pavilion. The water splashed, and Jiang Heng almost flew over, but when he caught Shen Cuobai coming up, he was still dying.

Jiang Heng hurriedly carried Shen Cuobai back to Anyun Pavilion, it was night, the Daduan Palace was in a panic, and the matter of the Eastern Qi Emperor falling into the water in the Daduan Emperor was not far away. Everyone was terrified, if this news reached Dongqi, they were afraid

I'm afraid that the big end will be over.

At this time, An Yun Pavilion was already in a mess, Rao is Sui Chen no longer wanted Shen Cuobai to live, but at this time, he couldn't let Shen Cuobai die openly at Daduan. At this time, Daduan wants to compete with Dongqi, but he is afraid that it will be a battle to the death.

"Quick! What are you doing in a daze! How can I save the emperor! Jiang Heng shouted loudly to the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground, Shen Cuobai's appearance at this time was as if Wei Zhaohua had just left, lying motionless on the bed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, if he fell asleep in a dream again, where could Wei Zhaohua save Shen Cuobai?

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground and didn't dare to take a breath, Jiang Heng's roar was enough to make them feel terrible, if they told the truth, I am afraid that Jiang Heng would be even more angry.

"Anyway, it's true! If the Emperor of Eastern Qi has anything to do in Daduan, I want you to be buried in the hospital! Sui Chen also shouted loudly, and was pulled over by the national teacher along the way, and the wine was already sober up a lot.

"There is nothing the ministers can do." The imperial physicians knelt on the ground together and bowed deeply to Sui Chen.

Sui Chen was furious and kicked the nearest imperial doctor, who fell to the ground and vomited blood and fell unconscious.

"Even if you can't do it, then you tell me, who has the way? You've been in the palace for so many years, and if you're useless at this time, what do I want you to do! ”

Sui Chen roared, and the imperial doctors knelt on the ground tremblingly, and there was indeed no one to talk to.

The national teacher also stepped forward to check Shen Cuobai's pulse, but he only shook his head powerlessly. The atmosphere in An Yun Pavilion instantly cooled down, Shen Cuobai's life was not such a simple thing.

"Your Majesty, if there is no way, you can only use the simplest way." The national teacher thought for a moment and spoke.

"What's the solution?"

"Stick the emperor's list to announce to the world, and seek the help of the people's divine doctors." The national teacher said firmly.

Sui Chen's brows furrowed, "Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?" Besides, will the Emperor of Eastern Qi be able to survive that time? ”

"The old man tested the pulse of the Eastern Qi Emperor, and felt that the Eastern Qi Emperor was just immersed in illusions, which was because he was poisoned. The antidote to this poison is not known, and the doctors do not know either, but there are many crooked ways among the people, and if there is a glimmer of hope, you should also try it. ”

Sui Chen nodded, "You can do this matter personally, if you can cure the poison of the Eastern Qi Emperor, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold!" ”

"Yes!" The national teacher answered, and hurriedly went down to prepare.

"Emperor Daduan has done his best to find a good doctor for my emperor, and if my emperor knows, he will definitely thank you. At this time, it is almost dawn, so the emperor should go back and rest early. Jiang Heng stood beside Shen Cuobai's bed and said softly, for fear of disturbing Shen Cuobai on the bed.

Sui Chen glanced at Shen Cuobai and nodded, "Commander Jiang is bothered, so I'll leave first." ”

When Sui Chen left, he did not go towards his dormitory, but walked in the direction of the Hanlin Academy. I didn't sleep at this time, one

There must be more than one Sui Chen, the two people in the Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid they haven't slept at this time.

"Since Shen Cuobai has something to do in the palace of Daduan, it couldn't be better. If we can add fuel to the fire, the war between Dongqi and Daduan can just be an excuse for us to go back! Shen Chenmo hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "If the matter of the ten cities finds the letter of the year, even if Shen Cuobai comes back to life, I am afraid that he will lose the hearts of the people again!" ”
