Zhuang Wanyan was silent, and if she looked closely, she could see that the fingertips of her pinching the wine glass were slightly white.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to refill your wine."

As he spoke, Wang Fan took down the wine glass in Zhuang Wanyan's hand, carefully poured another glass, and put it on the table for her.

"Then if according to what you say, the prince and Xu Ruqing disappeared together for so long, how should you explain it? Isn't it because of the prince that Zhuhua will send troops to besiege Kefa? ”

This step-by-step questioning was negotiated by them in just half a day.

They expected that Zhuang Wanqin's side would give a reasonable explanation, but the empress's side was different.

No matter how Zhuang Wanqin explained, the empress would rather believe that she had it than that she didn't. This principle can directly convict Zhuang Wanqin.

"Gongzi Xu is a person from my Nanguo, and it is natural to help this king. What's more, Xu Gongzi is no longer in Nanguo now. What are your intentions in playing right and wrong like this and stirring up the relationship between His Majesty and this king? ”

She wasn't afraid that Zhuang Wanyan wouldn't believe her, she just didn't want them to casually label Xu Ruqing as Zhuhua. Think of him as a Zhuhua person.

Obviously, when he welcomed Zhuang Wanyan back, he told them in public that Xu Ruqing was a descendant of the Zhuhua Duanmu family and was absolutely loyal to Nanguo.

These people, in order to suppress themselves, really do everything!

"Alright, let's stop."

Zhuang Wanyan put the empty wine glass back on the table and glanced at the chaotic situation below.

"What kind of system do they become? This banquet is to welcome the warriors of my Nanguo, and you are good enough to make the banquet look like this. ”

Seeing that the people in power were angry, these ministers were silent and did not dare to squeak anymore.

However, Zhuang Wanqin naturally filled his wine glass and toasted in the direction of Zhuang Wanyan.

"It's not easy to set up a banquet, and I'm tired of thinking about Your Majesty. Sister courtess Your Majesty with this cup of wine, I wish my Nanguo will prosper forever! ”

Glancing at her, Zhuang Wanyan did not brush her kindness, and followed her words and said: "What the imperial sister said is very true, I am also tired, so I won't play with you, you can just go back with yourself."

Standing up from the dragon chair in the midst of the crowd's salute, Shi Shiran walked to the apse.

Glancing at Wang Fan, who had been following him, Zhuang Wanyan said in a low voice: "Go check Xu Ruqing's movements."

And Wang Fan's eyes flashed when he heard this.

It seems that it was taken the bait.

"Wechen will go."

Quietly exited the hall, and hurried away after leaving the field of view of the guards in front of the palace.

And here, after Wang Fan left, another figure left from the side hall.

There was no empress at the banquet, and many people left one after another. However, those people must be people with higher official positions than Zhuang Wanqin.

After sending them away one by one, Zhuang Wanqin said hello to Kang Rui and left the hall.

At this time, the empress must be waiting for her in the study.

Sure enough, as soon as I left the palace gate, I saw a small palace maid waiting on the side of the road. Looking at that posture, I must have been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go."

This person was the person who stood beside Zhuang Wanyan when the military order was issued. I think it should be Zhuang Wanyan's newly cultivated cronies.

followed her all the way to the study, and saw Zhuang Wanyan quietly writing there.

But I don't know what she writes about what determines her life and death.

"What does my sister think of this step?"

As for what this said, it is naturally about Wang Fan.

No matter what Wang Fan says about her, Zhuang Wanyan will still choose to cooperate with Zhuang Wanqin first. After all, blood is thicker than water.

For them, no matter what Wang Fan's identity is, he is an outsider after all. Moreover, he is still an outsider who has a glimpse of the throne.

If you want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you also have to see if she has the ability!

To deal with it, it is also to eradicate her, a foreign enemy, first.

"It seems that Wang Fan followed the path we had in mind. However, can the royal sister explain what you did in the days when you and Xu Ruqing disappeared together? ”

The ink smudges on the rice paper, creating a stain.

"It's a pity that a good piece of paper is discarded because of this mistake."

With that, he crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it into a corner.

It is always said that the companion of the king is like the companion of the tiger, these kings talk half of the speech, leaving the remaining half for you to guess for yourself. If you guess correctly or guess wrong, then you have to use your own head to make up for it.

This kind of worrying day is really tiring to live.

"The imperial sister should know that Xu Ruqing will never do anything to be sorry for Nanguo."

The room was quiet, except for the sound of the two talking, which was the friction of the palace maid's grinding. Zhuang Wanqin dipped in new ink and continued to bow her head to write something.

Time seemed to stand still, Zhuang Wanyan didn't speak, and Zhuang Wanqin, as a courtier, couldn't say anything.

"Then can the imperial sister tell me more specifically, where did Xu Ruqing go?"

This kind of questioning made Zhuang Wanqin's heart feel like it was blocked.

She kept telling herself that it was okay, that the queen's sister was like this, and she didn't mean it. However, the question in front of me really chilled people's hearts.

She couldn't help but think about what would have happened if she hadn't insisted on returning to Congcheng at the beginning, but had left with Xu Ruqing?

But she knew she wouldn't do it, because Congcheng still had brothers waiting for her. They are still waiting for her to take them home, to this place with good memories, to this place where they once met and knew each other.

So, she's back.

So, everything that comes with it, she is willing to accept.

"Xu Gongzi is him, and his sister doesn't know."

Indeed, when he said goodbye, he left Red Frost by his side to protect him secretly. But he was dumped off soon after.

I still remember that when she came back, she was surprised by the ability of the people around Xu Ruqing. It only took a day and a half for his secret guards to evacuate from Congcheng to when they appeared around Xu Ruqing.

This speed is only half a day slower than Zhuang Wanqin. In other words, Xu Ruqing's ability should not be underestimated.

This time Kefa retreated, maybe he really had an inextricable connection with him.

But this matter, as a certain factor, really can't be said to the empress's sister. Once the empress's sister knew about this, she was afraid that she would directly send someone to kill Xu Ruqing.

Although she believes in Xu Ruqing's ability, it is a little less troublesome. After all, he had his own way to go, and she didn't want him to be troubled by himself.

However, for Xu Ruqing, what is bothering him, I'm afraid only he knows.
