Chapter 148 Xie Nanxing, don’t you want to drink this tea?
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan took the silver pot from Xia Ling's hand and directly filled the wine glass in front of Xie Nanxing.
Since the person who toasted was Xia Ling, Xia Che was the only one who dared to speak up: "Xia Ling, Wang Heng just came and gave instructions not to let Xie Nanxing drink. If Xie Nanxing drinks too much, he will definitely be angry with you."
When Xia Ling heard this, he smiled and said, "Look, I just heard my father talk about this when I went to the main hall to toast. I drank a few more glasses and forgot about it."
"Lord Shen is the great contributor to this marriage. Mr. Xie is Lord Shen's chambermaid. I will make proper arrangements for him."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan walked to Xie Nanxing's side, poured out the wine in the glass, rinsed the glass with hot water, and then poured tea for Xie Nanxing again.
Xie Nanxing held the cup of tea in front of him, his hands shaking with nervousness.
Xie Nanxing prepared tea specially for him and allowed him to drink tea instead of wine, but he didn't know if he had the ability to do so.
He subconsciously looked towards the main hall. Shen Jinmo had just told him that if there was a situation that was out of control, he could just disrupt the drinking party and he would clean it up afterwards.
Seeing that Xie Nanxing did not pick up the wine glass, Xia Ling smiled and said, "Come, let's drink this cup together."
The people around him drank the drinks in their glasses happily, but Xie Nanxing's teacup was still full.
At Xia Ling's suggestion, Xia Cheng asked in a sarcastic tone, "The Crown Prince specially changed the tea for Master Xie. Master Xie is so arrogant now that he doesn't even want to give the Crown Prince face?"
Xie Nanxing seemed to be frightened by these words. His bright eyes contained a little panic as he looked around at the people at the table who had been entrusted by Shen Jinmo not long ago.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously avoided the target, which meant that everyone knew there was something fishy about the cup of tea, but no one was willing to offend the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace who was in the emperor's favor for the sake of Xie Nanxing.
The table suddenly fell silent. Xia Che glanced at Xie Nanxing and said, "Xie Nanxing, don't you want to drink this tea?"
Xie Nanxing naturally had no answer to this question, and Xia Che didn't need Xie Nanxing to answer.
Taking the teacup from Xie Nanxing, Xia Che smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am a little thirsty after hunting tigers. Let me help you drink it."
After drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, Xia Che savored it carefully: "Good tea."
As soon as he finished speaking, he snatched the teacup from Li Yuan's hand and drank it gulply.
Because of this action, the hearts of those standing around the table suddenly rose to their throats.
Xia Che was used to doing things without rules in Luoan, so naturally, everyone was not worried about his behavior, but about the tea that Xia Che drank.
Something unexpected happened, and it would be too deliberate to prepare tea again.
Xia Ling felt a breath stuck in his chest, and looked at Xia Che with eyes full of resentment.
But Xia Ling also understood that now that things had come to this, he could only make everyone mistakenly believe that Xia Che's subsequent reactions were due to drunkenness.
Li Yuan reacted very quickly and personally held the wine cup and filled it up for Xia Che.
"Come, I will toast King Xiaoyao three more times alone."
"The king thanks the prince." Xia Che finished drinking three cups of wine, his eyes stained with confusion: "The king toasts the prince three more cups."
As the conversation went on, Xia Ling and Xia Che finished a small silver pot of wine.
Li Yuan appeared at the right time: "Your Highness, you still have your wedding night tonight, so you can't drink anymore."
Xia Ling's steps were a little unsteady. He supported Li Yuan's hand with one hand and said with a big tongue: "I drank to my heart's content today. I will drink with King Xiaoyao next time."
Xia Che raised his wine glass and shook it, saying, "Of course, of course."
A group of East Palace attendants helped Xia Ling out of the banquet hall. When there were few people around, Xia Ling's originally confused eyes were filled with resentment.
The hand holding the silver cup exerted great force and squeezed the silver cup into a ball.
Li Yuan helped Xia Ling sit down on the veranda, patting Xia Ling's back soothingly with one hand: "Your Highness, don't worry, the minister you want will definitely be delivered to your bed."
Xia Ling's eyes were still gloomy. He took the silver pot closest to Li Yuan and poured two glasses of wine.
He held one cup in his hand and passed the other to Li Yuan: "Li Qing, I am so sad."
"Xia Che has taken too many things from me over the years."
"The emperor's favor, the daughter of Duke Chen, countless gold and silver treasures, and now he has taken away everything I wanted to do to humiliate Shen Jinmo and vent my anger."
The master and his servant drank cup after cup of wine, and as they drank, they emptied the silver pot.
Xia Ling picked up the other wine jug very naturally and continued to drink with Li Yuan while crying in the night.

Halfway through the banquet, Xie Nanxing's eyes never left Xia Che. Seeing Xia Che drinking and playing rock-paper-scissors with others as if nothing had happened, he began to doubt that Xia Ling had not actually given him that love potion.
But the next moment, Xie Nanxing no longer thought so.
Because it was just the beginning of spring, the stool Xia Che was sitting on was already soaked.
It’s not that it’s not uncomfortable, but Xia Che is too tolerant.
Xia Che was so patient because he knew what drug he had been poisoned with and he didn't want to drag Chen Luo into trouble.
Xie Nanxing was a little hesitant at the moment. He didn't know whether he should support Chen Luo's determination or Xia Che's forbearance.
But the reality did not give Xie Nanxing the opportunity to hesitate.
Because there is no way Xia Ling would give you the kind of love potion that you can get through by just endurance.
Xia Che's raised hand began to tremble, red bloodshot began to appear in his eyes, and even the hand that was playing rock-paper-scissors with his friend was shaking.
Xie Nanxing didn't dare to gamble with Xia Che's life.
The future of countless people is also carried on Xia Che's shoulders.
Xie Nanxing patted Xia Che's hand and asked, "Prince, are you okay?"
With this question, everyone's attention was drawn to Xia Che's current abnormality, and the lively table suddenly became quiet.
"I am fine." Xia Che raised his hand and said, "The prince is really drunk. I am just having a fever now."
"Come on, let's keep drinking."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lust that could completely devour a person surged over him. Xia Che grasped the porcelain cup and exerted force, crushing the cup to pieces. Fresh red blood began to seep out of his palm.
His patience was about to reach its limit. Xia Che's eyes turned bright red. One of his men pulled the curtain on the table directly, and the sound of dishes colliding was heard. Li Yuan immediately took advantage of the situation to make a fuss.
"Someone, Prince Xiaoyao is drunk, quickly send him back to Prince Xiaoyao's mansion, and quickly go to the women's section to inform Princess Xiaoyao."
As soon as these words fell, the guards of the East Palace who had been waiting in the dark came over with a soft couch.
"I'm not drunk. I want to drink more." Xia Che tore off his robe with one hand and kept shouting, but he was no match for the strength of the East Palace guards.
The guards suppressed Xia Che's resistance forcefully and did not dare to let Xia Che stay here for a moment longer.
If the imperial physician was summoned to treat the wound on Xia Che's hand, the secrets that could not be revealed would ruin the banquet.
Xie Nanxing was naturally worried about Xia Che at the moment, so he took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly followed behind the guards to catch up.
