Chapter 207: Chapter 207
"She...she is your wife? Between you..." Xia Cun didn't think about this reason at all. After Yin Hanchu said this, thinking of her attitude towards Luo Yin, he suddenly felt that everything was over. explain.
"Go to my Huayue's history, which empress loves a woman? There is no express rule in the entire Three Kingdoms that women and women cannot marry each other. Why are you so surprised." Compared with Xia Cun, Yin Hanchu looks incomparable Calm down, although he felt strange about Xia Cun's surprise, he didn't think there was anything to be angry about.
"No, that's not what I mean." Xia Cun immediately explained in a panic, "I'm not saying that women and women can't get married... it's just you and her... I'm a little too surprised. I didn't expect the Queen of Huayue Such a relationship with Lord Regent Luo unexpectedly."
When I was still in Huayue, didn't Her Majesty still choose a husband?Although this incident ended without a problem in the end, there was still such a layer of cause and effect.I remember that their relationship was still a bit tense at that time. At that time, I thought they were trying to seize power... In fact, they were just... little lovers who were at odds?
Let Quan Huayue's people guess like this...the two of them are also very powerful.Xia Cun didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yin Hanchu obviously didn't intend to talk about this topic with him again. Originally, this was a matter between himself and A Yin. If it wasn't because Xia Cun had other plans to compare himself with him before, he might as well take this opportunity to make it clear now. If you don't have this thought, you can simply break it clean, at least you won't have any troubles in the future.
"Okay, now that I've told you about Ayin and I, you should know why I have to go to Qingcoffin City to find her." Yin Hanchu glanced at the stunned Xia Cun said slowly, "I won't talk nonsense to you, I will join in tomorrow's dinner no matter what. After you know this, how to make a choice is up to you."
Xia Cun was silent for a while, and then looked at Yin Hanchu's expression, which was still a bit intriguing, and used the respectful name that was discarded before to deceive people's eyes and ears: "Your Majesty the Empress."
Yin Hanchu's expression also became somewhat unnatural, he looked away, and hummed in a low voice.
"Am I so untrustworthy?" Xia Cun sighed, and suddenly his tone became very strange, "I admit that I did have other thoughts about you before, but now I know what I want , I won’t be so attached to things that don’t belong to me, especially now that I know that you’ve always been to Master Luo... Anyway, we came together, I think we can barely be regarded as friends now.”
Although Xia Cun's words sounded a bit incoherent to others, Yin Hanchu really understood what he meant, and a little guilt slowly surfaced in his heart. He seemed to have been using him all the time, to be honest. Some feel sorry for him.But at this time, Yin Hanchu didn't know what to say at all, so he could only look at Xia Cun with an apologetic look.
But because of this glance, Xia Cun's mood suddenly became very bright, and the haze just now was swept away.What I want is nothing more than Yin Hanchu's attitude, and now that I have got this attitude, other things are not important.
"Don't worry, since I have promised you to help you, I won't give up halfway. Tomorrow night's dinner party originally asked you to follow me, but I don't know who will appear tomorrow. After Master Luo appears, you It's better not to get too excited, so as not to be discovered by them." Xia Cun's words were a little more confident than before, and the concern in his tone was also a little bit more.
Yin Hanchu suddenly felt a little emotional.
Although the second day was a dinner party, the people in the entire Qingcoffin City began to prepare after noon.Even these guests were not idle, many people came in and out, watched Xia Cun change his clothes, and briefly checked whether the people around him had brought anything they shouldn't have.
Yin Hanchu knew that this was a necessary procedure, so he didn't make too many embarrassments, and he didn't pretend to be smart enough to wear hidden weapons for self-defense on his body. Instead, he touched the silver ring on his left hand, something given by sister Jiu, They were treated as ordinary accessories and completely ignored, Yin Hanchu also had a bottom line in his heart.When passing by Xia Cun's side, the footsteps that had already stepped out of the door suddenly paused, and then retreated.
By accident, she found out the pair of earrings that sister Jiu gave to herself and A Yin when she was still in Shiyue Valley, and solemnly put them on her ears, adding a touch of charm to her plain face after changing her appearance. The radiant temperature.
After a while, Xia Yan also followed, and sat on the main seat with a carefree look, looking well-dressed at first glance, and chatting with Xia Cun.Yin Hanchu always felt that the pair of brothers seemed to be at war, and what Xia Cun said before was about to die, but if they really bumped into each other, they probably wouldn't be able to fight.
"The final security check is still going on over there now. Because the Dark Emperor and that woman have to go through the meeting, the inspection is much stricter than usual." When Xia Yan talked about Luo Yin, he still couldn't hide the disgust and disdain in his eyes. "The Dark Emperor didn't have such a grand occasion when he traveled before. This time, he just met the guests. What is he doing so grandly? I'm afraid others won't know that he dotes on that woman, isn't he?"
Although Xia Cun didn't want to see Xia Yan, but thinking that the woman he was talking about was Yin Hanchu's lover who had just reached a new round of agreement with him, he reluctantly stayed and decided to gather more information.Sure enough, this move he made made Yin Hanchu who was behind him feel extremely gratified.
"Girls, you should be more careful than us big men." Xia Cun followed suit, and then asked, "Didn't she say she was sick the day before yesterday, and she can come to see us at the dinner party today?" ?”
"Hey, her illness." Xia Yan waved her hands, looking impatient and indifferent, and said, "Her illness is just a movement that scares people to death. It's been several years and I haven't seen anything wrong with her. That's it. The dark emperor has been protecting her like something, sending all good medicines to her, and forming a ladylike appearance in the green coffin city. Being treasured by the dark emperor like this, he still wants to restrain other people in the green coffin city ? Tsk tsk."
The hidden meaning in his words was not expressed, but everyone understood it.The dark emperor protects her so much, even after she succeeds to the throne, there will be such a continuous protection, so that other people can't move, unless she grows to the point that no one dares to bully her, or the dark emperor dies suddenly, the current situation will be different. will be relieved.
Yin Hanchu reluctantly put away the disappointment in his heart, and maintained a smile without any warmth on the surface.
"Are you going to the dinner party with us this time? When they entertain us, do they also need people from the family to accompany us? So those young masters and ladies from the six major families who came to Qingcoffin City in the early years will also be with us. Family members attending together?" Xia Cun was relieved to see that Yin Hanchu didn't ask him to talk about Luo Yin again, and changed the subject.
Although Xia Cun felt from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for that idiot Xia Yan to know what they really wanted to ask.
"Well...not really." Xia Yan's expression became a little unnatural, but he still insisted on explaining, "There is no hard requirement for this, you want to spend more time with your family, it's okay to attend a banquet together, don't want to go It doesn't matter. It's like Yan Shuo. His Yan family has been wiped out. This time, no one from the Yan family will come in, so he can come to play, or he can choose to practice and rest in his own room. No one will because of this. decided to blame him at all; there is also the woman from the Kong family, she and the Kong family have always been at odds, and it is said that she came to Qingcoffin City because she used some tricks to crowd out the son who was supposed to come. The Kong family has not contacted at all, and it is estimated that they will not come this time..."
Standing behind them without saying a word, Lan Zichan, who was quietly observing the surrounding situation, heard the words "a woman surnamed Kong", and her heart was suddenly pulled. She looked up at Xia Yan, and then looked at Xia Yan as if nothing had happened. Elsewhere, I suddenly felt a huge loss in my heart.It's just a woman of the same clan as her, what else is he fantasizing about?Kong pities her, she is dead.
Xia Cun looked at Xia Yan suspiciously and said nothing, but it was enough to make Xia Yan angry.
Although Xia Cun didn't say it clearly, the look in his eyes clearly responded to Xia Yan's words just now.He didn't think that Xia Yan came here to find him because of his brother Xia Cun's deep affection and wanted to reunite more.
"This king is just because the life in Qingcoffin City is too boring, and I want to have some fun by your side." Xia Yan suddenly became confident, "There is one more important thing! I am afraid that you may say the wrong thing, so I came here specially to remind you that I am doing this for your own good, but you don’t appreciate it at all, I really overestimated your conscience.”
Xia Cun looked at Xia Yan, couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice, after all, he still didn't break Xia Yan's mind, and pretended nothing happened.
Xia Yan: "..." I suddenly wanted to hit someone.
Time passed bit by bit, the sun was gradually heading towards the west, and a personal guard who announced the news came outside, saluted the distinguished guests politely, and then reminded: "The banquet hall is ready, and all distinguished guests are invited to go there earlier. .”
Yin Hanchu tried his best to restrain his impatience.Chu Ruo was short of breath by Yin Hanchu's side, but at least she was a martial arts practitioner, so it was only for a moment, and she looked as if nothing had happened.Now is not the time to act rashly, and it must not affect the overall situation.
After Xia Yan took Xia Cun and sat down in the living room of the banquet, only then did he realize that the owner of the banquet had not yet arrived.Guests came outside in twos and threes, and the maids welcomed them in, took them to their proper seats and sat down, some people they knew had already begun to chat skillfully, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Yin Hanchu and the others stood in a cluster behind Xia Cun.Because Xia Yan has been talking to Xia Cun whenever he has something to do, and even sat with Xia Cun, Yin Hanchu still couldn't find a chance to talk to Xia Cun, so he simply gave up.After all, there is no reason for a maid to rush to teach her master how to do things.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was at its peak, a tall figure suddenly walked in from the outside, and the hall was silent for a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the man, but it was only a breath In the meantime, everyone chatted about their own affairs as if nothing had happened, but their eyes kept wandering towards him.
When Yin Hanchu and Lanyue's wife saw Yan Shuo, they also had weird expressions on their faces.Relying on her changed face and her identity as a maid, she took a few extra glances in Yan Shuo's direction.
There were also some whispers about him around.
"Hasn't their Yan family been exterminated? It is said that the boy from the Liu family did it. When the people from the Liu family come, I am really worried that there will be some unhappiness between them. The banquet tonight is not a trivial matter, and we can't help it." He's messing around."
"Come on, fighting is prohibited in Qingcoffin City, nothing will happen. Who dares to act wild in front of the Dark Emperor? This anger has been going on for three years, and it's about to explode early. I haven't heard of Liu's family in Qingcoffin City. What is the discord between Young Master and Yan Shuo..."
"Hush... I heard a gossip before." Someone lowered his voice, pointed to the sky, and said, "I heard that this matter was ordered by the higher-ups, so he didn't dare to have an opinion, but no know if it's true."
Another person anxiously covered her mouth, and tried to persuade her: "Are you crazy! How dare you say these words here! You don't want to go back alive, do you? Can we guess these words? Shut up now! "
The man who had his mouth covered nodded his head and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Yin Hanchu focused his attention on Yan Shuo.When he was in Shiyue Valley three years ago, he was still a teenager, but now he looks no different from his age. Perhaps it is because he has grown up, the innocence and childishness that lingered on him have almost disappeared. It's gone, the eyes that were so clear and shining before have become as calm as a pool of clear springs, and it's impossible to guess what's going on in his heart at a glance.
In the meantime, Yan Shuo glanced aimlessly around, then sat down quietly, looked straight ahead, and waited for the person who should come to arrive.
Everyone came here by pinch, so not long after everyone arrived, I heard a servant who reported the news running in, and said in a steady tone: "The city master and the young master are already on the way, please Get ready for it."
Someone had come over to talk to them about the process before, so after hearing what the attendant said, the entire banquet hall became silent instantly, and everyone exchanged glances with each other, then stood up in unison, They looked in the direction of the door together.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and everyone's breathing was stuck in their throats. It was only when they saw the figure outside slowly approaching that they felt that their breathing was even more stagnant, and a strong sense of oppression lingered in their hearts.
An octogenarian, his footsteps are more steady than ordinary people, walking in front of everyone, with an inviolable coercion, just a light glance, the body of the person he has seen can't help shaking He stood up, as if he was being judged, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and no one dared to lie under his invisible eyes.
When Yin Han first saw the old man, he felt that he was not an easy person to provoke. The instinct of the body told her that it would be better not to provoke this person as much as possible.But in the next moment, all her senses froze, and she stared intently at the familiar figure behind Andi.
Luo Yin wore a red dress, which gave her an illusion of loneliness, and the expressionless face was set off by the bewitching red color, which made her feel a sense of pressure. After passing the terrifying appearance of the Dark Emperor, he actually found that the aura of this woman was not inferior to anyone, it was eye-catching, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The An Emperor sat down in the middle position, and then Luo Yin also sat down in a position slightly lower than his right hand. His movements were so smooth that no one could find any faults that could be described.
"Sit down, everyone, it's just a welcome banquet for you, so you have to sit down if you are so serious." An Emperor glanced at the people below, then waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down and talk , so many people are all standing, it makes people feel uncomfortable to watch.
The masters were all seated at the banquet, but the attendants behind them were still standing firmly.Without those standing people blocking him, Yin Hanchu could just keep his eyes on Luo Yin.Perhaps it was because Yin Hanchu's eyes were too greedy. After staring at Luo Yin for a while, he felt several breaths coming towards him, so he could only look away as if nothing had happened, treating himself as someone who had never seen the world before. , The ignorant maid who doesn't understand the rules is finally no one suspects.
She lost weight.How could she be so thin.She is colder than three years ago. Three years ago, it was still cold outside and hot inside, making people actually want to get close to her; but now, she is cold from the inside out, so people don't want to get close at all.
Yin Hanchu pinched his arm fiercely, and the severe pain woke him up.No, you can't be impulsive, you have to be patient.
No one would deliberately pay attention to a group of servants. The moment Luo Yin walked into this banquet hall, he felt something strange, but he couldn't find the source of the strangeness.In the past three years in Qingcoffin City, what Luo Yin has learned most thoroughly is turning a blind eye to many things.
"Everyone, don't be so nervous." An Emperor took the lead in holding up the wine glass, and there was a faint smile in his tone, but everyone knew that his smile might be murderous at any time, so they could only follow his movements and He raised the wine glass in his hand, waiting for what he would say next.
"First of all, everyone has come from afar, and you have worked hard. This glass of wine can be regarded as a cleansing for everyone." The smile in the dark emperor's tone became more obvious, "The day after tomorrow is the succession ceremony of Yaoyin. You have to retire and take good care of yourself.”
Immediately, someone shrewdly heard the words of the dark emperor, and couldn't wait to follow the words of the dark emperor and continued flatteringly: "The city lord is always strong and strong, it is a pity to give the position to young people like this!"
The An Emperor chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture with a smile.Everyone suddenly felt a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, that person had already been pushed into the middle of the banquet hall, and was held tightly, but everyone obviously didn't understand what was going on.
The man's smile froze on his face, he didn't know what he said wrong, he could only look at An Di blankly, with a little panic in his eyes.
"Well, what you said is very good." The dark emperor's smile made everyone feel something was wrong, and even the dark emperor's praise seemed to be full of traps.Sure enough, the next moment, Andi quickly changed his face.
"It's just, it's a pity, it's not up to you to decide." As soon as this sentence was finished, the two guards pressing down on the man cooperated closely, one of them held the knife, and cut the man's throat neatly, the other One person brought a white cloth like clouds and flowing water, wrapped the corpse before the blood spurted out, and then the two of them dragged the corpse out together.
Everyone saw that the person who was talking well just now turned into a corpse in an instant, and they all felt that the wine in their mouths was a bit bitter, and the smell of blood seemed to still linger at the tip of their noses. It was hard to swallow this sip of wine.
"I'll say it again, I hope you will remember." The Andi still smiled, but the laughter made everyone panic, "Yaoyin is my only granddaughter, I gave this Qingcoffin City to her, she is my blood , How could it be a pity that this green coffin city is in her hands! He said something wrong, so he should be punished."
The smiling expression looked like a naughty child making trouble in front of him, and the old man dotingly slapped him and said angry words.
Luo Yin sat in her seat without any movement, not even raising her eyelids, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with her.Yin Hanchu didn't know what kind of mood he was in, but he always felt more distressed.If she hadn't seen these things a lot, how could she become what she is now.
"Okay, let's not talk about the naughty words of these ignorant children. I haven't seen you for a long time. Naturally, this friend should be happy when he meets." An Emperor himself changed the topic again, and raised his hand with a smile. Cup, "For this second cup of wine, Yaoyin is still young after all, and you will need to take care of her by your side in the future. From now on, Yaoyin will be the lord of the Green Coffin City, so you must not take her lightly."
That tone and expression clearly belonged to an extremely doting elder, but what he said made people feel terrified.
Everyone drank the glasses of wine with mixed emotions.
Yin Hanchu went around behind Xia Cun, pretending to pour new wine for Xia Cun, but deliberately gave Xia Cun a look, pretended to be worried, and knocked his cup to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Everyone's eyes are all gathered over.Xia Cun pretended to be angry, reprimanded him a few words, and then looked at Andi with a lost smile: "My maidservant has never seen anything big in the world, but I couldn't bear it, so I brought it here, and I am so clumsy that I make everyone unhappy. , I would have left this girl in Xuyang if I knew it earlier! It's just a pity for this wine glass!"
Everyone thought of Yin Hanchu as a concubine-like relationship, and they all smiled knowingly, as if everyone understood.
The An Emperor didn't notice any clues either, he said "youth" with a smile, and asked his subordinates to replace it with a brand new cup.
But Luo Yin's eyes did not move away from the maid.Yin Hanchu raised his head, just in time to bump into Luo Yin's cold gaze.
Four eyes facing each other.
Luo Yin suddenly laughed.
The author has something to say: we met, we met, we met.
