On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Eunuch, do you know why the emperor summoned me this time?"

Lian Zhao felt inexplicably uneasy and asked the palace maid beside him for some information.

The eunuch just had a cold expression on his face and said quietly: "How can a servant like me know what the emperor means? Your Highness, just go."

Lian Zhao felt flustered when he heard these vague words.

"Ouch, ouch..."

Suddenly, Lian Zhao stopped walking. His face was flushed red, and he held his stomach tightly. "Eunuch, I'm really sorry. I have an emergency. My stomach suddenly hurts so badly. Can you let me go to the bathroom? Otherwise, it would be a serious sin to lose etiquette in front of the palace."

Such tricks were nothing in the eyes of people in the palace.

The eunuch just glanced at him, then sneered: "Your Highness, now it's not just the civil and military officials who are waiting for you, His Majesty is also waiting for you. If you delay, you and your country will not be able to afford to offend them."

"Besides, everyone knows that Your Highness Lian Zhao is the most knowledgeable about etiquette. I believe that you will not lose your manners in front of the palace and let the civil and military officials laugh at you."

After hearing this, even if Lian Zhao still wanted to refuse, he had no reason to do so and had to follow him in disappointment.

In the Taiji Hall, the eyes of all civil and military officials were closely following Lian Zhao.

"Foreign minister Lian Zhao pays homage to His Majesty the Great." Lian Zhao slowly stepped forward, placed his hands on his chest, and respectfully performed the state salute.

Ji Xunchuan did not speak in a hurry, but cast a glance at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple standing beside him.

Shao Qing came forward slowly and asked, "Your Highness Lian Zhao, there are messages everywhere in Dacheng now. Is it your work?"

Lian Zhaoyun was confused by these words. He frowned and looked at the Shaoqing beside him: "Your Majesty, is it possible that all the officials in Dacheng are so incompetent? Don't they even have a method to ask questions?"

Ji Xunchuan concealed the displeasure on his face and pretended nothing had happened, picking up the teacup beside him.

Seeing this, Shao Qing snorted coldly and walked forward slowly: "Your Highness, there is no need to sneer at me. Now the situation is urgent and I am too lazy to argue with you about other things."

"I wonder what rumor you are talking about, sir?" Lian Zhao frowned slightly and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Having handled many criminal cases, looking at Lian Zhao's expression - either he was really unaware, or he was pretending to be very conscientious.

The Dali Temple Shaoqing suddenly forced a smile on his face and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I misunderstood Your Highness."

"I'm really sorry to bother you with this trip today. Someone, send your Highness back and take good care of him!"

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple called out.

Lian Zhao was a little confused, but he was sure that there must be a big chaos in Dacheng.

On the way back, there were many more palace maids around Lian Zhao. Judging from the situation, he definitely couldn't go out casually.

But now, if you want to know what exactly happened, it is best to ask Shen Wantang.

Late at night, the people guarding the Hostage House became a little slack, and a black figure jumped out from the Hostage House.

We walked along the alley all the way to the Shen Mansion, but now the Shen Mansion was deserted. Even the corridor of the courtyard where Shen Wantang used to live was covered with cobwebs.

"Why is there no one here? Did they flee?"

Lian Zhao was puzzled and murmured to himself.

But just as he uttered a word, a big hand covered his mouth. The man was very strong and in a few moments, Lian Zhao fainted.

"Miss, this person came to the Shen Mansion stealthily. I don't know what he wants to do."

Bai Ge carried a man in black back to the Cen family and reported in a cold voice.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly, walked forward slowly, uncovered the veil covering the man's face, and sighed helplessly -

"Lian Zhao, the hostage of Rong State." Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Somehow, seeing Lian Zhao lying on the ground so quietly, I always feel an inexplicable sense of joy.

"It's okay, go down." Shen Wantang waved his hand.

Bai Ge sighed helplessly and left.

A bowl of cold water was poured on Lian Zhao's face. He suddenly woke up, jumped up, and was about to rush forward with his bare hands.

Fortunately, Cen Xiao grabbed his hand and said, "Look carefully, who is in front of you?"

Lian Zhao focused his eyes and saw Shen Wantang sitting next to him. He then let out a long sigh of relief: "I was really scared to death. I thought that your Majesty had discovered that I had escaped secretly..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang frowned: "Your Highness is being monitored?"

Lian Zhao nodded helplessly, sighed, and sat down. "That's right. I was summoned to the court for no apparent reason today. An official even asked me if I was the one who spread the rumor. It's really ridiculous. I don't even know the content of the rumor!"

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao and Shen Wantang looked at each other.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lian Zhao suddenly stood up and said, "You two must know something about this. What is going on?"

Shen Wantang thought for a moment, then slowly stood up: "Nothing, Your Highness is from Rong State, it is not appropriate for you to ask about my state affairs. It's late at night, I will ask someone to send you back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Wantang stood up. However, before she could take two steps, Lian Zhao rushed forward and said with a frown, "Wait a minute! I came here to ask you about this matter. You and I have an agreement. Miss Shen, do you want to break the agreement? If you tell me this matter, I can also exchange information with you."

There was no emotion in Shen Wantang's eyes. His expression rose coldly, and he said, "Your Highness, I really don't know. If I knew, I would tell you right away, okay?"

Then, Shen Wantang walked around Lian Zhao who was blocking his way, pushed open the door and blew the bone whistle.

White doves emerged from the darkness.

"Send His Highness Lian Zhao back to the hostage house." Shen Wantang ordered in a cold voice.

Although he felt that there was something fishy going on, Lian Zhao didn't say anything else.

After the people left, Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "In my opinion, this Lian Zhao, who knows, he may be able to help us in some way."

help?

Shen Wantang didn't understand what was going on, and thought that what Cen Xiao said was just a fantasy: "What do you expect a Rong countryman to do for us?"

At that time, Cen Xiao had already started to make plans in his mind. He kept silent but raised a satisfied smile on his face: "This matter still needs to be discussed with His Highness. Tomorrow, I will ask His Highness for instructions."

It was late at night and Shen Wantang had no interest in talking about this matter.

"It's getting late, please go back, Your Highness." She pointed coldly at the door, then turned and walked towards the inner hall.

"I heard that you haven't been resting well recently, so I brought you some calming incense." Cen Xiao came back to his senses and spoke slowly while looking at Shen Wantang's back.
