Chapter 687

Chen Ning gave an "un" sound and then closed her eyes.

The secret guard led doctor Ye out of the stone room and locked the stone door. The footsteps of the two gradually faded away.

She laid down on the bed and looked at the lamp on the table, letting out a faint sigh.

Letting doctor Ye help her send a message was the only method she could think of, but doctor Ye could not be trusted. Whether he would help her send a message or not, she did not know and could not guess.

The so called money moves people's hearts. Perhaps doctor Ye was a greedy person and would help her send a message for the sake of the golden hairpin. If he was as timid as a mouse and was afraid of Chu Shao Yang, then he would turn around and sell her out.

No matter what the result was, she had to take a gamble.

Because this was her only chance!

She did not let doctor Ye go find Mo Chuan because she knew doctor Ye was a commoner. He had no way of entering the palace and could not see Mo Chuan, but it was much easier to see Chu Shao Bai. She believed that once Chu Shao Bai knew of her situation, he would definitely come to save her!

She had already done what she could, now all she had to do was wait.

As for whether she could win this gamble or not, it was hard to predict.

She decided not to guess the result of this gamble. She relaxed her mind and did not think about anything else, falling asleep not long after.

At the same time, in the royal palace's Qing An Hall, it was filled with candles and wine. There was a grand banquet being held in the palace.

In the large hall, there were all sorts of delicacies, fruits, and wine. The ministers were drinking the wine, tasting the delicacies, and enjoying the moving song and dance.

Chu Shao Yang was sitting in the middle of the crowd, looking very spirited and radiant. His purple robe made him look very handsome and outstanding.

There were ministers coming to toast him from time to time, flattering him and praising him and his princess who was ill and could not attend the banquet. Everyone's praises almost drowned him.

Speaking of this, this celebration banquet was set up for him and Chen Ning.

His face was filled with smiles as he drank the wine, appearing to be in a very good mood. He had never had this kind of glory in his life before. Although this glory was given to him by her, he also felt proud.

This was because she was his princess. Everyone praising his princess made him happier than praising himself.

East Qin and West Chu had been at odds for many years, but West Chu had always been in a situation where they could not retaliate. They had never been able to gain the upper hand in East Qin.

But today, Chen Ning had made a beautiful comeback for the West Chu Country.

Although there were still two more rounds to go, the victory of the first round was enough to boost everyone's confidence, giving them greater hope for the next two rounds.

Compared to Chu Shao Yang's glory, the emperor Mo Chuan was much more silent.

From beginning to end, he had barely spoken a word. He sat alone on the dragon throne facing the north, drinking the wine in his cup in solitude.

Cup after cup, he couldn't remember how many cups he had drunk. Every cup of wine that entered his mouth was extremely bitter, but it wasn't as bitter as his heart.

Mo Chuan remembered that when the banquet started not long ago, Chu Shao Yang had arrived late. He couldn't sit still and couldn't help looking at the door until the eunuch loudly reported.

"Ding Yuan is!"

He couldn't help but stand up from the dragon throne and raise his head in anticipation.
