"How is this possible? This plan was only drawn up last night, how could Shen Hanxin have prepared this beforehand? " Shen Hansheng frowned, disagreeing with the other party's words. With Shen Hanxin's reaction in the throne room, it was likely that he did not know of his plans. Otherwise, with his temper, he would not have put himself in such a difficult situation.
"There are only two possibilities. First, Shen Han Xin was prepared for a rainy day. She had already expected that you would have such a move, so she made her preparations. Second, there is a spy from the Han Residence!" Cai Die unceremoniously analyzed it.
"Cai Die, don't randomly guess!" Peony lightly berated, but in her heart she was thinking the same thing as Cai Die.
"What do you mean randomly guessing? It's basically!" If Shen Hanxin had not known about this beforehand, how could the Mu Family not have a sweep of the floor …? cause us to come here for nothing. " Cai Die anxiously said.
"This King will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Thank you all for your hard work. Go to your rooms and rest first. Han Sheng will host a banquet to entertain everyone in a while!" Shen Hansheng suppressed the doubts in his eyes and lightly replied.
"Oh yeah, is the Han Dynasty going smoothly?" Peony's words returned to their original meaning as they closed their mouths. The eyes of the seven Holy Maiden also landed on Shen Hansheng.
"Thanks to everyone's help, this king ascended the throne ten days later!" Shen Hansheng's thin lips slightly pursed, a look of relief flashing across his eyes. He originally thought that he would have to undergo a tough battle in order to gain the throne, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
"Then I must congratulate you, Your Highness!" Peony bowed slightly to show her respect.
After Peony and the others left, Shen Hansheng sat quietly in the main hall, his eyes filled with gloom. If it was as Cai Die had said, there was really a spy in King Han's Manor, then this was no small matter. With his understanding of Shen Hanxin, he believed that he would not let this go easily. It seemed that it would take some time for the throne to settle down. Thinking of this, Shen Hansheng immediately called for Ye Li.
"Since last night, is there anyone suspicious in the manor?" Ye Li was also aware that the seven saints had missed their target at the Mu King Manor. He knew of Shen Hansheng's intentions, but he didn't think that there was anyone suspicious.
"In reply to Your Highness, this subordinate did not discover anything unusual, but …" However, this morning, Miss Meng Yan had secretly left the palace to meet the Mu King on the street. However, the two of them did not interact much, and this subordinate has always been there. " Ye Li didn't doubt Duan Mu Yan's intentions, but he did report it to his.
"Meng Yan …" It couldn't be her! "Alright, you can leave now. Tell the kitchen that This King will entertain the Holy Maiden tonight, and tomorrow, you can move into the Imperial Palace with this king so that you can prepare for the inauguration ceremony ten days from now!" Shen Hansheng instructed in a low voice before waving his hand to withdraw from Ye Li. Waiting until Ye Li had left, Shen Hansheng couldn't help but feel vexed. Perhaps he had overthought things. Shen Hanxin had always been crafty and scheming, so it was understandable that he had a plan after this.
At ten in the evening, the main hall of the Residence of Han was filled with delicacies, all kinds of delicacies. Beautiful nectar, fine grapes, fine wine, and a luminous cup all added to the elegance.
"Smelling the aroma of wine before even coming in? Young Master Shen is truly generous. This wine is quite aged …" She was dressed in a long dress that revealed his neck and dragged the floor along her waist. The hollow design on her waist accentuated his figure perfectly, and when he walked into the main hall, Shen Hansheng slowly stood up. He thought that the other Holy Maiden would follow, but after waiting for a long time, he still did not come.
Young Master Shen does not need to wait any longer. Big Sis has already left, and Yue Hua Palace has some matters to settle in the near future. Since Han Wang has temporarily put an end to this matter, then Big Sis will naturally return to take care of her own affairs. But Young Master Shen need not worry, the sisters have asked Feng Jiao to stay behind. The delicate Feng Yun gently spoke as she sat down.
"He left? Could it be that you're mad at This King for not greeting you properly? " Shen Hansheng's eyes darkened as he asked awkwardly.
"Of course not, Young Master Shen and our Palace Master are close friends. We came to help Young Master Shen according to Palace Master's orders, so we're not too picky. It's just that Moon Flower Palace has been in trouble recently, that's why Big Sis went back. Young Master Shen, please don't think too much about it!" The delicate phoenix gently explained. Her phoenix eyes were like silk, and the light within them constantly carried an intoxicating charm that would make one yearn for it.
"Since Miss Jiao Feng has said so, then I don't have to worry …" Shen Hansheng nodded slightly, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. At this moment, Leng Bingxin and Ye Li also walked into the main hall.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Meng Yan said that she is not feeling well and will not come out to eat." Leng Bingxin spoke truthfully. Upon hearing those words, Shen Hansheng's body shuddered uncontrollably, worry and worry evident on his face.
"Not feeling well?" Have you looked for an imperial physician? " Shen Hansheng spoke in a rush, but due to the banquet where he was invited, he didn't rush out immediately. By the side, he noticed his anxiety and couldn't help but sneer.
"Since Young Master Shen is worried about Meng Yan, you can accompany her. It's enough for Jiao Feng to have Ye Li." Jiao Feng was a person of the martial arts world, he did not care about these things. Furthermore, she felt that it would be boring to eat with Shen Hansheng, so he suggested a way out.
"I'm afraid I have neglected this young lady …" Even though Shen Hansheng had this intention, he did not stand up.
"If Young Master Shen is so courteous, then Jiao Feng can't stay any longer!" Just as Jiao Feng was about to get up, he was stopped by Shen Hansheng.
"Since that's the case, Ye Li, Bing Xin, you two stay here and accompany Lady Jiao Feng. I'll go see Meng Yan first. If there's nothing serious, I'll come back immediately!" After which, he stood up and headed straight for Duan Mu Yan's room.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly turned incomparably awkward. Ye Li woodenly sat opposite the delicate phoenix. Leng Bingxin did not want to stay, but since the prince had ordered it, she could only choose a seat and sit down.
"Little big brother, how are you going to accompany me to taste the wine when sitting so far away …" Seeing that Ye Li was sitting far away from his, he stood up and went straight to Ye Li's side. His soft and jade-like fingers subconsciously rested on Ye Li's body, and a strange fragrance assaulted Ye Li's nose. Ye Li couldn't help but choke as he shot an unnatural glance in the direction of Leng Bing Xin.
There was an indescribable depression in her heart. He clearly didn't like the man in front of his, but when he saw how attentive and attentive Jiao Feng was, Leng Bing felt as if a fish bone was stuck in her throat, making his feel extremely uncomfortable. When he thought of how Shen Hansheng looked so anxious just now, a bitter feeling flashed across Leng Bing's heart. She knew that he would never be able to be together with the man he loved in his entire life, and that knowledge caused her heart to feel as if it was being hammered by a heavy hammer. Thinking of that, Leng Bing Xin gulped down the wine in his cup, but when the wine entered her throat, there was only bitterness.
Seeing Leng Bing Xin like this, Ye Li felt extremely upset. He knew very well that the depression between Leng Bing's brows was not because of him, so he could not help but feel lonely. He knew that he could not get her, but would he still persevere? Ye Li's heart suddenly began to waver.
"The expression on little brother's face really makes Jiao Feng at a loss. If little brother hates Jiao Feng, then you don't have to follow the wishes of your highness." His eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making his seem so lovable that it would attract tender affection towards his. The bitter smile on her face made it harder for people to leave.
"Lady Piaomiao is too serious, Ye Li doesn't have such an intention!" As a man, there were a few who did not have a tender heart for the fairer sex. Ye Li immediately denied it when he saw Jiao Feng act this way. He lifted the wine pot with one hand and poured his a full cup.
"Young Big Brother, are you really sincere about this goblet of wine?" The delicate phoenix blinked its watery eyes, and a gentle light shot straight into Ye Li's eyes.
"Of course I am sincere. I only hope that young lady can enjoy the wine to her heart's content." Ye Li nodded his head slightly. Just as he was about to put down the wine jug in his hand, he was received by her.
"Drinking alone is boring. Little brother will accompany Jiao Feng to drink a few cups …" The jade wrist that was resting on Ye Li's body had no intention of moving away from him at all. While he was pouring Ye Li a cup of wine, Jiao Feng deliberately shifted his body to Ye Li. The proud curves of his body were even more enticing when matched with his tight clothes, and he inadvertently rubbed against Ye Li's chest.
"Ye Li will do it himself …" As a man, this kind of teasing was undoubtedly fatal. Ye Li instinctively wanted to retreat, but Yu Feng's hand was on his shoulder, so he could only endure it silently, ignoring Yu Feng's teasing.
"Isn't it different who has come? Come, let's toast our tender phoenixes to you. You have taken care of the seven of us since we entered the Residence of Han. Here, let's toast our sisters!" As she spoke, she suddenly raised her chin and gulped down the entire cup of wine. When she placed the cup down, her red lips seemed to accidentally move closer to Ye Li.
"Little brother, drink up …" A humid and hot Qi slowly pounced on Ye Li's ears. A numbing feeling caused Ye Li's heart to beat even faster. It was difficult to refuse such a passionate request. Ye Li hurriedly picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, and just as he lifted the cup, the delicate phoenix filled it up. By the side, Leng Bingxin was already depressed, and after seeing Ye Li and Jiao Feng once more, her mood worsened to the extreme.
When she heard the sound of someone knocking on her door, Duan Mu Yan's eyebrows slightly raised. She knew in her heart that someone was coming, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Please come in …" Outside the door, Shen Hansheng pushed the door open and entered. He closed the door behind him and placed the tray on the table.
Hearing Bing'er say that you are not feeling well? Where is the discomfort? This King will call the imperial physician over right now! " Shen Han Sheng worriedly asked, before turning to leave. However, he was called back by Duan Mu Yan.
"Duke of Han shouldn't worry, Meng Yan just doesn't have any appetite, nothing serious will happen to her." As she spoke, she got up from the bed and walked towards the table. Looking at the food on the tray, her eyes were like the autumn moon, rippling with ripples.
"Your highness is about to become the Ninth Paragon, and now you're even deigning to bring food to Meng Yan. Meng Yan really can't take this anymore. In the future, Meng Yan can just come by herself with all these trifling matters …"
"Do you and I still need to be so courteous? If it was not for the fact that This King had yet to learn the art of crafting, I would have personally made two for you to taste! " Seeing how unfamiliar Duan Muyan was with him, Shen Hansheng felt a bitter pain in his heart. However, when he thought about it again, this might not be a bad thing. As long as he was patient enough, he would definitely get back the heart of a beauty.
"Actually... Has Your Highness ever thought of bringing Meng Yan back home? " Duan Mu Yan didn't seem to have the intention to speak as she subconsciously glanced at Shen Hansheng's handsome face. Even though it only went that way, she was still able to catch a glimpse of the conflict and gloominess in Shen Han Sheng's eyes.
"How can you think like that?" Shen Hansheng's black eyes flickered as the light in them dimmed.
