Chu Yao was still thinking about how to get close to Duan Heye, and the opportunity came to him by himself.
Prime Minister Wen Guo Duan sent someone to send invitations to invite King Ning to a banquet at the mansion. Duan Heye and Prince An Ran were also invited.
Xiao actually put down the invitation in his hand and said, "What do you think?" The question was about Prime Minister Duan's banquet.
"It stands to reason that the nobles from several countries have come to the Wen Kingdom. Since Emperor Feng is inviting relatives, she should be hosting the banquet in person, but now there is no movement at all, and Prime Minister Duan is here to hold the banquet. There must be articles in it." Chu Yao bowed his head and muttered, Sidu said, "I'm afraid it's a grand banquet."
"Then go and see what kind of Hongmen banquet it is." Xiao Jing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked sideways at Chuyao: "Your complexion is not good, did you not sleep well last night?"
Chu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.
Xiao Jing's obsidian-like eyes darkened. How could he not know what happened this morning? This question was just to see if Chuyao would tell him that she deliberately concealed it, so she meant to leave. Being able to do such a thing while avoiding the eyes of his hidden guards in the hotel, it seems that the dark tide is about to start surging. Who did it? Duan Heye, Prince An Ran or Feng Zheng?
At night, Duan Xiangfu.
Chuyao pretended to be a servant boy and followed Xiao Jing into the prime minister's mansion.
"I have admired King Ning's reputation for a long time, and this old man is lucky to see you today." Prime Minister Duan politely greeted Xiao Jing and entered the table.
Duan Heye has already arrived at the table, still covering his face with half a silver mask like yesterday, exuding a sinister aura all over his body. It has to be said that Duan Hekang is better than him in restraining his breath, and he seems to be able to calm his mind.
In addition to Duan Heye, there were also several Wen Guo officials and some talented people who attended the table. Standing behind Xiao Jing, Chuyao quietly looked at everyone one by one.
"Second Young Master Duan He, as expected of the younger brother of Major General Duan He, he is indeed very imposing." It was rare for Xiao Jing to say some kind words, but this opening was enough to kill anger.
Chuyao saw Duan Heye's complexion suddenly changed, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Duan Hekang and Duan Heye are twin sons, but they are different in age. Yuanhou's heir, and Duan Heye has no title yet. No matter who you are, you will have a grudge, let alone the two who are compared with each other since they were born.
And Xiao Jing seemed to mention it on purpose, calling him the second son of Duan He, and calling Duan Hekang a major general, and he made all the differences clear in one sentence.
"King Ning is too famous." Duan Heye stood up and cupped his hands, obviously not wanting to talk to him again.
With such a temper, it is difficult to make a big deal, Chu Yao secretly came to a conclusion. But this is a good thing for her, it is easier to get the antidote.
Xiao Jing took his seat, and Chu Yao waited beside him, pouring wine from the pot.
"Everyone appreciates the honor today, and I respect the old man first." Duan Xiang raised his glass and drank.
"It seems that Prince An Ran hasn't arrived yet." An official reminded.
The country of Li is weak, and it has been in a weak position in diplomacy in the past few years. Apart from Mongolia, it has less contact with other two countries. Prince An Ran's trip to Wen country this time can be described as an excellent opportunity to establish diplomatic relations between Wen and Le. will not appear until now.
Chu Yao also noticed that according to the situation of each country and the purpose of Li Guo's visit, it is really not appropriate for the Crown Prince An Ran to be late.
All the people below were whispering and discussing.
At this time, a servant hurried to Prime Minister Duan and whispered a few words in Prime Minister Duan's ear. Prime Minister Duan frowned and said to the table: "Your Majesty An Ran is ill and it is not appropriate to come here today, so let's start the banquet."
Duan Heye slightly evoked a mocking smile. Mongolia and Li are close and have close contacts. In recent years, Li has been slightly out of Mongolia's control, but still pays a large amount of tribute to Mongolia every year. In Duan Heye's eyes Here, Li Guo sent his son here this time, it is simply beyond his control. What's more, he is still a son who has been bedridden and sick all the year round.
"A month ago, the dancer sent by our country assassinated Emperor Huai. Please ask King Ning to investigate clearly. The Wen and Yan countries have always had good relations in the past few years. Don't ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries because of others' deliberate blaming." Prime Minister Duan Raise your glass and say to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing didn't expect to say it so clearly. Now the Mongolian envoy is also here. Duan Xiang said that the two countries have very strong diplomatic relations, and also hinted that a third party can destroy the relationship between the two countries. Isn¡¯t this just pointing at the nose and saying that the assassination may have been done by Mongolia ?
"Duan Xiang has a heart, this king will definitely do his best to investigate thoroughly." Xiao Jing raised his glass and touched him lightly, then drank with his head up.
Duan Heye naturally heard this passage, and his expression became even more displeased.
Everyone sat down, singing, and dancers filed in.
Chuyao was thinking about how to get close to Duan Heye, but when pouring the wine, he accidentally spilled it on the corner of his clothes. Xiao Jing looked sidewaysGlancing at her, he said in a deep voice, "Don't act rashly."
Chu Yao lowered his eyes, it seemed that he knew her plan. When he raised his head again, his eyes happened to be on the man in green clothes standing behind Duan Heye, just for a moment, as if he had no intention of doing so, he lowered his head again to pour wine for Duan Heye.
Duan Heye nodded to him, his expression slightly relieved.
In Chuyao's eyes, this tiny situation felt strange. According to Duan Heye's temperament, how could he be so polite to a servant. The identity of this man in Tsing Yi is definitely not simple, could it be
After a while, the wine was hot, and the man in Tsing Yi quietly left the table and retreated. Chu Yao frowned, and also quietly left from the table. She felt that this man might be a breakthrough.
The man in Tsing Yi walked to the rockery and stopped. Chuyao was afraid of being discovered, but just looked at it from a distance, and did not approach, so he stopped there and said something to the person hidden in the rockery. She couldn't hear it at all. I saw that in the end he handed the package to the person in the rockery.
Chuyao frowned, Duan Heye's behavior in Duan Xiang's mansion was too weird, could it be that Duan Heye had secret operations in the Xiang's mansion?
It's a pity that the distance is too far to see the people in the rockery. Chuyao bit her lip and took a step forward, but happened to step on a branch.
"Who?" The man in Tsing Yi turned his face and looked in her direction.
Chuyao cried out inwardly that it was not good, and was about to pretend to be lost when he saw a person walking out from under the shadow of a dark tree near him.
It was Su Yan.
I saw him dressed in red, with his black hair loose, and he looked extraordinarily coquettish in the moonlight.
The man in Tsing Yi frowned, unable to figure out Su Yan's identity, nor did he know if he had heard anything.
"Ah, Mr. Suyan, you are here. The eldest son is waiting for you in Jiyage." At this time, a young man hurried over from the eaves of the corridor.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is too big, and there was a banquet in the front hall, so I didn't enter through the main entrance, so I got lost." Su Yan smiled at the boy.
The man in Tsing Yi looked at Su Yan for a while, then loosened his brows and left.
When Chuyao waited for the man in Tsing Yi to leave and was about to leave, Su Yan smiled slightly in her direction, it seemed that he wanted to help her.
When he returned to Xiao Jing's side, the man in Tsing Yi was already standing behind Duan Heye.
From a banquet to Haishi, Prime Minister Duan repeatedly hinted that Emperor Feng fell in love with Xiao Jing. , Wen and Yan will join forces. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
