Chapter 272 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 41
Xie Wanheng had been looking at Shen Weicang. When he saw Tan Yuan drink the wine, he immediately felt gloating in his heart.
Shen Weicang observed Tan Yuan's expression. Apart from the redness of his ears, there seemed to be no changes.
Thinking about what Xie Wanheng had said to her, that Tan Yuan would do things she couldn't imagine after drinking, she wondered in her heart, was it because he didn't drink enough?
She poured another glass of wine and brought it to his lips: "This wine is quite fragrant, Tan Yuan, have another glass."
Alarm bells were ringing in Tan Yuan's mind. He didn't drink much and his alcohol tolerance was very low. He must not drink anymore.
His cultivation was completely suppressed, and his mind was not clear after drinking, so he would be easily exposed.
He stretched out his fingers to take the glass of wine and looked at Xie Wanheng with cold eyes.
He must have said something in front of Cang Cang.
When Xie Wanheng saw him looking at him, he not only did not avoid him, but raised his glass to him with a provocative look.
Tan Wuning had been secretly watching Xie Wanheng, and seeing that he was always paying attention to Shen Weicang, his heart gradually grew cold.
Did she miss the fate in her previous life completely because she didn't cherish it?
Several dancers filed in. She clenched her fists, bit her lips, and was a little hesitant.
One of the dancers spun around and came to the table of Shen Weicang and Tan Yuan. She seemed to have accidentally sprained her foot and fell to the ground. The wine and dishes on the table were smashed to pieces, and Shen Weicang and Tan Yuan were stained.
"This slave deserves death!"
The sounds of stringed instruments in the hall suddenly stopped. Lan Zhinian looked at the dancer kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face. His sharp eyes swept through the people in the hall and finally fell on Tan Wuning.
Cang Cang pleaded with him, saying that he would teach her a lesson. He wanted to let this ignorant person go, but he didn't expect that she was still unwilling to give up and tried to plot against Cang Cang.
Tan Yuan was already unable to control his emotions after drinking, and he just drank another glass of wine. At this moment, the shadow of animal pupils faintly flashed in his eyes. He closed his eyes patiently.
"Your Majesty, I am being rude."
Shen Weicang also lowered her head like him, looking at a loss. Under her wide sleeves, she held the letter in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Just now, Tan Wu Ning had the opportunity to signal the dancer to stop, but she didn't seize the chance, so you can't blame her for not stopping the show.
This New Year's Eve dinner would be so boring without some excitement.
Lan Zhinian had just had an argument with Xie Zheng, and now he couldn't help but say sarcastically: "I can't believe your country's dancers are so skilled. Are you trying to dance on the table?"
"This slave deserves death..."
The dancer knelt on the ground and trembled.
The Emperor of Chen also looked unhappy, and ordered the palace maid, "Take the Imperial Master to change his clothes."
"The dancer is disrespectful in front of the palace, drag her out..."
"Wait a minute," Lan Zhinian interrupted the Emperor of Chen's words about sentencing the dancer, and said with a half-smile.
"It's unlucky to kill someone on New Year's Eve. It's better to lock him up first and then interrogate him to find out why such a mistake happened."
The Emperor of Chen also forced a smile: "What Zhinian said makes sense, so let's save her life for now."
Cold sweat broke out on Tan Wuning's palms. She tried her best to tell herself to stay calm. She had already arranged a retreat for the dancer, so she would be fine.
Suddenly she realized someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw that it was Xie Wanheng who was staring at her coldly.
Seeing her looking at him, Xie Wanheng turned his eyes away indifferently.
Tan Wu Ning was extremely afraid that he would misunderstand him and was eager to explain, but he suddenly stood up, told the emperor that he wanted to go out for some fresh air, and then walked out.
Seeing this, Tan Wu Ning also walked out, but was pulled by the sleeve by the wife of Pingnan Marquis: "Ning'er, where are you going?"
"Mom, the person next to the Imperial Master just now is my good friend. I want to go see her."
She eagerly pulled her sleeve away from the hand of Lady Pingnan and walked out.
"Master, please wait here. Someone will bring the clothes soon."
The maid brought Tan Yuan and Shen Weicang to a palace room, bowed respectfully to Tan Yuan, and said to Shen Weicang, "Miss, please come this way."
Shen Weicang couldn't help but hold Tan Yuan's hand tightly: "Tan Yuan, I want to be with you."
Tan Yuan forced himself to endure the discomfort in his body. He didn't want Cang Cang to be separated from him. Hearing this, he held her hand and said, "It's fine as long as she stays with me."
The palace maid knelt down to salute and then left, and silence returned to the palace.
"Why are your hands so hot?" Shen Weicang asked in surprise, "Tan Yuan, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Tan Yuan's steps were still steady, but his consciousness was a little unclear. He fell on the bed, holding Shen Weicang's hand tightly. Only by holding her could he regain some consciousness.
"Don't worry, Cang Cang. I'm just a little drunk. I'll be fine after a rest."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
There was no such thing as an unexpected thing. Shen Weicang felt bored and tried to pull his hand away, but the man held it very tightly and it took a lot of effort to pull his hand free.
Soon, a maid brought clothes over. Shen Weicang fiddled with the clothes for a long time and changed them. She walked out of the palace. There was a maid guarding outside. When she saw her come out, she asked, "Miss, are you going back to Shunhua Palace?"
Shen Weicang calculated the time, smiled lightly, and said softly: "I want to get some fresh air outside. You don't have to worry about me. I know how to get back."
After sending the palace maid away, not long after, Tan Wuning came over with a worried look on her face.
"Miss Shen, have you changed?" She sighed, "I came late, and I wanted you to change into my clothes."
The spring breeze behind her was holding a set of clothes. Shen Weicang only took a look and smiled tolerantly: "It's okay. I'm sorry to have troubled you for me."
Tan Wuning walked up and held her hand:
"Ms. Shen, I have been wanting to apologize to you for a while, but I couldn't find a chance and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Today is a rare opportunity for us to talk."
She led Shen Weicang inside: "It's too cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
"Why is the light off?" Shen Weicang said in surprise after pushing the door open again, "It was on just now."
Tan Wu Ning comforted her, "It's okay, I just have a few words to say to Miss Shen, I'll be done soon."
The man on the bed breathed evenly, and a pair of white fox ears appeared on his head and moved sensitively.
Tan Yuan noticed as soon as Shen Weicang pulled out her hand. After she walked out, he turned off the lights in the house, worried that someone would break in and see his appearance.
"Miss Shen, I'm very sorry about what happened that time," Tan Wu Ning said apologetically, "I quarreled with you without finding out the reason."
Shen Weicang smiled in agreement: "Miss Tan, don't take it to heart. I said at the time that I didn't intend to pursue the matter."
Tan Wuning clenched the medicine bag in his hand. Things had come to this point. Since he had already missed Xie Wanheng and could not get him back, he should at least avenge his past life self.
She looked embarrassed and seemed very conflicted, waiting for Shen Weicang to ask.
Shen Weicang found it funny and deliberately said, "We've been out for a long time, why don't we go back?"
"Wait," Tan Wu Ning grabbed her wrist, then remembered that she had a black snake, and quickly pulled his hand away in fear, forcing a smile.
"I have something I really don't know how to say, but I have to do what His Royal Highness Prince Yi has asked me to do."
Yan Qizhao?
Shen Weicang became a little curious. Why did Tan Wuning suddenly mention Yan Qizhao? Didn't she like Xie Wanheng?
Tan Wuning whispered:
"His Royal Highness Prince Yi and I... have been engaged since childhood, but we have only met each other a few times. He found me a few days ago and said that he fell in love with Miss Shen at first sight and hoped to break off the engagement with me and marry Miss Shen as the Princess of Yi."
