I have to say that King Jin'an is really brave. The atmosphere on the field suddenly froze and became increasingly tense.

Ji Lingzhou didn't show any sign of anger on his face. As for Ji Chenan... he did it on purpose, deliberately trying to embarrass Ji Lingzhou.

but……

A light laugh suddenly broke the silence in the arena. Everyone looked up and realized that the laughter just now came from Cheng Mingran.

Cheng Mingran covered her face with one hand and smiled softly. Ji Chenan's eyes were instantly fixed on her: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just feel honored." Cheng Mingran said nonsensically.

What honor? Honored to be favored by His Majesty?

"Prince Jin'an has not been in the capital for many years. I didn't expect that he could recognize me as Concubine Shu. I was really surprised. Although Prince Jin'an has been far away from the capital for so many years, he really knows everything going on in the capital." Cheng Mingran said with a smile on her face.

Ji Chenan's eyes darkened: "I have met the queen several times, so I naturally remember her."

"Really? But it must be that I offended the prince at some point, so the prince was so impressed?" Cheng Mingran said again.

"What do you mean, Madam Concubine Shu?" Ji Chenan began to fiddle with the empty wine glass in his hand.

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Chenan: "The prince's words just now were all directed at the Cheng family. Isn't it because the Cheng family has offended the prince? Not only offended, but also offended seriously, right? So I also want to ask the prince, what is it that has made the prince remember it for so long? Why don't you tell me, so that I can apologize to the prince on behalf of the Cheng family." Cheng Mingran tilted her head, with a puzzled look on her face, as if she was really troubled by this matter.

Ji Chenan's face darkened, and he naturally couldn't answer.

But Cheng Mingran now seemed to have returned to the past, with a confused look on her face: "Why is the prince silent? Can't he remember it for a moment?" So isn't this just looking for trouble?

"The concubine Shu has a good eloquence." Ji Chenan looked unhappy.

But Cheng Mingran didn't care at all, she just smiled and said: "Are you good at speaking? Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. The Queen Mother always said that my mouth is the easiest to offend people. If Your Highness is unhappy about something, you must tell me, I'm afraid that Your Highness will bear a grudge."

Ji Chenan's tone was not very good: "Of course I will not argue with the queen."

what……

Some people almost couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. Wasn't the King of Jin'an quite arrogant? Why was his face as black as coal now? He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute, and couldn't even speak.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mingran didn't say anything else. She just casually picked up the wine glass in front of her and toasted in the direction of Ji Chenan. The meaning was already very clear.

Although Ji Chenan was somewhat dissatisfied, it was impossible for him to completely ignore it. He could only swallow this loss.

Ji Lingzhou was also a little surprised when he saw this scene off the stage. When did his concubine become so eloquent? But why did he suddenly feel happy? Cheng Mingran just now seemed to be the way she should be.

And...was she defending herself just now? Thinking of this, Ji Lingzhou's mouth immediately raised an imperceptible arc, which could not be stopped.

Cheng Mingran had no idea what Ji Lingzhou was thinking. She just felt a little dissatisfied when she heard Ji Chenan mention the Cheng family and said those words.

And if she didn't deny it, and then said something else later, what if others really thought that the Cheng family had fallen? She really didn't allow anyone to tarnish the reputation of the Cheng family.

However, precisely because of this commotion, Ji Chenan seemed quite quiet in the following time.

After the song and dance ended, Ji Chenan took some action. He stood up from his seat with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Brother Emperor," he called out.

Ji Lingzhou knew that this was ready...

"What's the matter?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"Your Majesty, you've been busy with state affairs every day, and I think you've been tired. I'd like to offer you a glass of wine." As he said this, he raised the glass in his hand.

Ji Lingzhou didn't make it difficult, and cooperated by picking up the wine at hand: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Then, Ji Chenan drank it in one gulp, and Ji Lingzhou followed closely behind.

And then at this moment...

"My royal brother has been sitting in this position for so long, I think he must be tired, so...why not let me share your worries?" His tone was gentle, as if he really had good intentions.

But because of his words, the whole audience fell silent. What outrageous words was this King of Jin'an saying?

"How dare you! Does Prince Jin'an know what he is saying?" Li Sheng looked over and spoke first, his tone full of disbelief.

But Ji Chenan was disdainful: "Royal brother, I have been coveting your position for a long time, why don't you let me sit there too?" He curled the corners of his lips slightly, with a wicked and unruly look on his face.

The same words followed...

"Your Majesty..." Li Sheng looked at Ji Lingzhou, but found that Ji Lingzhou was just looking at the people below silently: "Do you want to rebel?" His tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I'm only here to take back what belongs to me." A sinister look flashed across Ji Chenan's face, and he was determined to get everything.

When Cheng Mingran saw this scene, she was not as panicked as she had imagined, but she was still horrified in her heart.

I didn't expect that the King of Jin'an actually wanted to rebel, and he chose this time, and even wanted to say such words in public.

She carefully considered the current situation, looking at Ji Lingzhou's performance just now and the abnormality before. He should have been prepared in advance, and the people around her might have also prepared for today.

But...if that's the case, maybe she can do something with what happened today...

"Empress..." The sound of calligraphy and painting next to her interrupted Cheng Mingran's thoughts.

"It's okay." Cheng Mingran comforted her. She was not actually afraid, and she herself didn't even know why.

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou above, and suddenly became curious. How did he manage to control everything in his own hands? Such a person is really dangerous and terrifying...

In this position, how much did he not know? He had previously suspected the Cheng family because the Cheng family held military power, so he was always on guard.

At that time, she thought it was all his imagination, and she was still asking him why he was suspicious and why he didn't trust her, but now... she seemed to understand a little bit.
