However, Yuzhu looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and several princes and said, "I would like to thank Your Highness Prince Duolun. Yuzhu is only a commoner and does not dare to eat at the same table with His Highness."

Prince Duolun grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him:

"Miss Yuzhu, there's no need to belittle yourself. I'm here, just sit there boldly. If you have any problems, I'll take care of it for you."

Yuzhu was caught by Prince Duolun. She subconsciously wanted to look at Chu Ye, but when she was about to turn her head, she turned back abruptly.

Chu Ye seemed to have not seen the interaction between Prince Duolun and Yuzhu at all. He lowered his eyes lightly and peeled the oranges in his hands with a serious expression.

Princess Gu Lun saw that her brother had brought a prostitute to the table on such an occasion. She didn't want to be embarrassed by Prince Duolun in public, so she stood up and came to Shen Lance's table.

Because Shen Lance's table was on the right side of Chu Ye, Princess Gu Lun chose to sit at the same table with Shen Lance without much thought.

She bowed to Shen Lance and said, "I'm going to pay tribute to Prince Rong. I wonder if I, the princess, can sit with you?"

Shen Lance got what he asked for. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he said: "This king is honored. Princess, please take a seat."

Seeing Princess Gu Lun sitting down gracefully, she quickly ordered the little maid to bring a new set of tableware to Princess Gu Lun.

Prince Duolun raised his eyes and gave Princess Gulun a warning look.

Princess Gu Lun stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Look at what I'm doing, I'm not making room for that beauty of yours."

Shen Lanzhong laughed loudly when he heard this: "The princess is straightforward and frank. When we meet her today, she really lives up to her reputation. I can't help but propose a toast to the princess."

With that said, he raised his wine glass to Princess Gu Lun.

Seeing this, Shen Lance poured another glass of wine for Princess Gu Lun.

The two of them had a drink, and Gu Lun took a bite of the food and said, "I am an outspoken princess. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."

Shen Lanzhong smiled and nodded: "As we gather here today, you don't have to be too restrained, just go as usual."

Princess Gu Lun smiled and said: "In this case, Gu Lun will thank His Highness the Crown Prince in advance."

She turned her head and said to Shen Lance: "I heard that the prince and the princess are deeply in love as husband and wife, and there is no concubine in the backyard. I admire you greatly, and I would like to give you a toast."

Shen Lance paused after hearing this, with a gentle smile on his thin and handsome face: "Everywhere, it's just hearsay from the people in the city who don't know what happened. Princess, don't take it seriously."

Today, he was able to come alone, so he had a glimmer of hope for Princess Gu Lun. If he could get the princess to be his concubine, it would be a great help for him to seize the throne.

He raised his glass and approached Princess Gu Lun to clink the glass with her.

Princess Gu Lun didn't even look at him, she directly raised her wine glass and drank in one gulp.

Then she showed the bottom of the cup, smiled lightly at Shen Lance and said, "I have a drink, Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want."

This princess is sitting next to you just because she wants to see Ning Yu and Chu Ye interact. Your Majesty, please don't cause any misunderstanding.

Shen Lance frowned slightly when he heard this, and drank the wine from the glass calmly.

Princess Gu Lun turned to look at Chu Ye and Ning Yu. She coughed lightly and filled the wine glass again, raised her glass and said with a smile:

"I had breakfast at Prime Minister Chu's house yesterday, and Gu Lun hasn't thanked Prime Minister Chu yet."

Chu Ye raised his eyes, watched Princess Gu Lun raise her wine glass, and said calmly: "As long as the princess is satisfied, there is no need to be more polite."

When Prince Duolun heard this, he let go of Yuzhu from his arms and also raised a glass: "Gu Lun caused a lot of trouble yesterday. Please don't blame Prime Minister Chu."

When Chu Ye saw everyone looking at him, he paused slightly, then smiled lightly and said:

"Prince Duolun is overly worried. Princess Gu Lun is innocent and straightforward, and she relies on Yu'er like a brother. How can I blame the princess for the truth?"

In just a few words, Chu Ye revealed the reason why Princess Gu Lun was in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and eliminated everyone's unfounded speculation about her and Ning Yu.

Ning Yu: "..."

Princess Gu Lun: "..."

As expected of a powerful prime minister, this ability to confuse right and wrong is really not small!

Several people drank from the glasses with their own thoughts.

Yuzhu looked at the person opposite him who looked like a banished immortal, and his eyes slowly turned red.

She hurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a covert sip.

Unexpectedly, he choked and coughed accidentally.

Prince Duolun hurriedly put down the wine glass and gently stroked Yuzhu's back: "Why are you drinking so fast? Don't choke."

Yuzhu coughed and shook his head.

Zhao Zhen saw his sister's gaze lingering on Chu Ye's face, completely ignoring Prince Duolun's movement of holding Yuzhu.

He couldn't help but remind: "Yan'er, you can do whatever you want now, why don't you go and toast Prince Duolun with a drink."

Zhao Yan suddenly came back to her senses. She frowned slightly and said calmly: "Brother, don't worry, this has just begun. There will be plenty of time soon."

However, Zhao Zhen pushed the wine glass to Zhao Yan and pushed her out.

"Everyone will be gone in a while. Where are you going to talk to people?"

Zhao Yan held the wine glass. She looked at everyone, then at Prince Duolun and Yuzhu, bit her lip and said, "Yan'er has a drink for Prince Duolun."

Prince Duolun held Yuzhu's waist and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, please."

After the two had a drink facing each other, Zhao Yan bowed and stepped away, walking to Chu Ye.

She picked up Chu Ye's wine bottle and poured herself a glass. She said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, Yan'er will also have a drink with you. I wish you success and peace, and good luck always."

When she was picking up Chu Ye's wine flask just now, she had no idea she had put medicine in it.

As long as Chu Ye drinks the wine from the pot, he will be tricked.

That medicine was specially given to me by my brother in the morning. It is a rare and good medicine; it is not only difficult to detect, but also makes people want to stop taking it.

Two hours later, when the effect of the medicine had fully taken effect, he found an opportunity to lure Ning Yu away, and then approached Chu Ye without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile.

Princess Gu Lun looked at the greedy expression on Zhao Yan's face, and the doubts in her eyes flashed away.

What's her expression? !

She looked at Chu Ye and Ning Yu, and then at Zhao Yan; she always felt that something was about to happen.

She also raised her wine glass and said with a smile: "In that case, I will also offer a toast to Prime Minister Chu."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan said angrily: "Why are you everywhere? Why do you want to mix in the wine that people offer to Prime Minister Chu?"

Princess Gu Lun swung the wine glass and said, "What bad thoughts can I have? I just want to offer a glass of wine to Prime Minister Chu."

She looked at Zhao Yan mockingly and said, "Does Miss Zhao think that Prime Minister Chu is only worthy of drinking your wine, but not my Princess Gu Lun's wine?"

Zhao Yan is the younger sister of Queen Zhao, so her status is higher than that of the Crown Prince and the two princes. They looked at each other and all showed a wry smile.

A few people couldn't say more, so they stayed silent to see how Chu Ye would respond.
