Chapter 445 Not bad
Just when the commotion in the hall was getting out of control, a high-pitched eunuch's voice suddenly sounded in front.
A young eunuch raised his neck and shouted, "Your Majesty and the Empress have been delayed for a moment. Please wait a moment. To entertain you, please enjoy the song and dance performance."
The envoys present here...
Why watch a song and dance show at this time? Is it because there are not enough melons or the melons are not fragrant enough?
Put Moduo and Prince Teng here, they can watch for a whole day and a whole night, okay?
However, criticism is still criticism. After the young eunuch finished speaking, the sound of stringed instruments began to play, and dancers, waving their sleeves, gathered from both sides of the hall to the middle dance floor.
One of the dancers, I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement or what, was obviously resisting, but was forcibly dragged out by other dancers.
Other dancers wore long dresses with long sleeves, flowing like clouds, but this dancer had her arms and thighs exposed, with a full four fingers' width of her slender waist visible between her top and pants.
He Chao observed these envoys with keen eyes.
Because of the previous commotion by Moduo and Prince Teng, all the onlookers were sitting here in a very relaxed manner, just watching the show. Until the group of dancers came out, one person in the crowd suddenly changed his expression.
The stiffness only lasted for a moment, and then he grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it to calm himself down.
However, this instantaneous change in expression was enough for He Chao to pick him out from the crowd.
This person is indeed a prince of Zhao State, and his identity is exactly the same as what Su Qingqing had found out before.
He Chao turned his head and whispered a word to the follower standing behind him. Just when the melodious music and the seductive dance were about to dispel the tense atmosphere in the room, there was suddenly a commotion among the people sitting in the seats.
Everyone, including the dancers, looked at Su Heng.
On Su Heng's side, a young man was lifted from his seat by two guards, one on each side, and dragged out.
The young man was caught off guard and was dragged away. He struggled and shouted.
As the action started, the girl who was reluctant to dance on the dance floor immediately rushed forward in two steps and almost subconsciously shouted, "My Lord!"
Oh no!
In one sentence, the matter was settled. He Chao was completely certain that he had not arrested the wrong person. Now, not only was the prince arrested, but the girl was also arrested.
The scene was in chaos for a moment, and the discussions that had originally subsided suddenly erupted again.
sky!
What is going on?
The guards moved quickly. Once they had taken the prince and the dancer away, the other dancers automatically dispersed and left. Su Heng sat down and said to the noisy crowd, "Let me explain to everyone."
Not only did the envoys from other countries want to hear an explanation, but the envoys from Zhao State also wanted to hear an explanation, because the person who was taken away was the crown prince of their dynasty.
Su Heng smiled and played with the cup in his hand, looking nonchalant, "The one who was taken away was indeed a prince of my Zhao Kingdom. Why was he taken away? Because the dancer just now was his spy planted in the Great Yan Kingdom. And that spy wanted to kill my sister when the Great Yan Kingdom suffered an epidemic caused by the flood in Guangdong and Guangxi last time.
The reason why I arrived at the palace banquet earlier than you all was that I had received the invitation before you all did.
Of course, this was not because my sister was the empress of the Great Yan Dynasty, but because when my father, the emperor, and my mother were all unaware of the news, a Lord Shen in our court had foresight and knew about this palace banquet, so he sent me out.
After he came out, he designed a scene of a bandit robbing a woman, trying to place someone in front of me.
So this happened just now.
My sister caught someone for me and took revenge!
Everyone, continue, it's nothing serious."
Su Heng finished speaking calmly, but these few light words carried a thunderous momentum that made everyone's heart tremble.
Someone in Zhao State had evil intentions and wanted to harm Su Qingqing. He even tried to attack Su Heng, but Su Qingqing used this mocking and teasing method to take him away on the spot.
Is this revenge?
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
Every one of those present felt that they were implied.
By capturing this prince, Su Qingqing's purpose of hosting this banquet has been half achieved. Once the person is taken away, there will naturally be someone to interrogate him.
Su Qingqing followed Rong Que, and after Su Heng finished speaking, the two of them entered the hall together.
The originally messy banquet hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop when the couple came in.
The envoys, who were influenced by the idea of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, were all silent and began to wonder how serious this banquet was, and what evil plans this dog emperor and dog queen were up to.
Only Prince Teng, because Yu Yang was missing and Mo Duo exposed the scandal of Da Qi on the spot, had a face as cold as an ice storage when he saw Su Qingqing and Rong Que.
However, Rong Que and Su Qingqing didn't spare him a glance. After crossing the long dance floor, the Emperor and Empress arrived at their seats. Rong Que carefully helped Su Qingqing to her seat, then stood up and said to the envoys, "Something has delayed us. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Who dares to say anything.
As soon as Rong Que finished speaking, the leaders of several envoys from neighboring countries hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
Rong Que waved his hand and sat down. "Just before I came in, I heard you guys were having a good chat. What were you talking about?"
He turned his body and looked at Su Heng.
Su Heng disliked Rong Que, but he would not deny Rong Que's respect in such an occasion. He said respectfully, "What about General Yu Yang? He was fine, but he suddenly disappeared."
Rong Que raised an eyebrow, "Suddenly disappeared?"
Rong Que was puzzled. "What do you mean he disappeared suddenly? I just ran into him when I came here."
The envoys of Da Qi all looked at Rong Que.
Rong Que said, "Your Lord Wang said he had something important to discuss with him, so he took him out."
Prince Teng clenched his fists tightly and slammed them on the table angrily. "Your Majesty, it's amazing that you have such a good memory. You even remember our Lord Wang..."
Rong Que smiled and said, "Even if my memory is not good, I still remember it. After all, it is quite difficult to forget Wang Yunli. "
Prince Teng raised his eyebrows and waited for the other party to continue.
Rong Que said, "When Wang Yunli arrived, my Great Yan Dynasty promised us many things. Who wouldn't remember the boy who gave away money?"
He Chao immediately laughed, "Everyone says that Lord Wang is greedy for money, but I don't think so. Lord Wang is a good official. Although he is greedy, he has never used any of the money he has embezzled for himself.
All of this is for your prince to save as a family fortune.
Without Lord Wang's greed for money, your prince would have had a hard time developing over the years."
After saying that, He Chao looked at Mo Duo.
Mo Duo smiled faintly , "Wang Yunli is indeed good."
