However, Zhuge Ke was still cautious. Since there was some risk, why should he take it? Originally, he was very energetic and instructed him to be in charge of the palace. However, when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhuge Ke was a little uneasy when he was disturbed by the black cat. Sun Jun also persuaded him to go back to rest. Zhuge Ke was about to go down and go back to the house. Teng Yin rushed over and saw Zhuge Ke's car and chariot turning around and said strangely: "Since the Prime Minister has arrived at the gate of the palace, why don't you enter?"

Sun Jun's assassination plan was a top-secret plan. Teng Yin certainly didn't know that Zhuge Ke's return to Beijing was a major event. As the chief minister, Zhuge Ke had not returned to Beijing for more than a year, and the entire Taiwan Pavilion could not function normally. Many of the reports had to be sent to Xunyang, and Zhuge Ke could only be implemented after approval. This round and time, I don't know how much delayed it.

After finally waiting for Zhuge Ke back, the Pavilion could operate normally after meeting the emperor, but what surprised Teng Yin was that Zhuge Ke turned around and left as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace. What was going on?

Teng Yin had just come out of the palace and knew that Sun Liang had set up a banquet for Zhuge Ke in the palace to welcome him. No matter how high Zhuge Ke has, he is still a minister. It would be rude to ask His Majesty the Emperor to wait like this. If he broke the appointment again, it would be disrespectful.

Zhuge Ke couldn't bring that bloody rhetoric to the table. If it was really spread, Zhuge Ke was afraid of a dead cat, wouldn't it make people laugh at the world? So Zhuge Ke said ungratefully: "As soon as I entered the city, I felt unbearable abdominal pain. Maybe it was because I was not adapting to the local environment. Why not go back and raise it for a few days and come to see Your Majesty again."

Teng Yin was stunned by it. Is it possible? Zhuge Ke was born and raised in Jianye. After returning from more than a year, he was actually not adapting to the local environment. Isn’t it a strange thing?

Teng Yin saw that Zhuge Ke's face was a little pale, but it was not the sick look. He said, "Your Majesty has not seen you for many days. Today, when the Prime Minister returned to Beijing, he specially arranged a banquet for the imperial kitchen to welcome you early in the morning. How can you brush it off with such kindness? If you really feel uncomfortable in your body, you can leave after seeing Your Majesty, and you will not be rude."

Zhuge Ke had no choice but to agree, saying, "I should do my best."

When he met the emperor, Zhuge Ke naturally could not bring so many soldiers into the palace, so he left most of the people at the entrance of the palace, and only brought his counselor Zhang Yue, the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry, and his nephew Zhang Zhen into the palace.

When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, the Yulin guards stopped them and asked them to hand over the sword they carried with them. Zhuge Ke's face changed. In the past, he had been traveling freely when he entered and left the palace. Now he has not come back for more than a year. The guards in the palace have changed, but they dare to stop him. This is outrageous!

Zhuge Ke was about to have an attack, and Sun Jun had already stepped forward and angrily scolded: "This is Prime Minister Zhuge. You are blind and you may be afraid to apologize to the Prime Minister!"

The guards quickly knelt on one knee and apologized to Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke was proud of his identity and was embarrassed to be as knowledgeable as them. He snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Sun Jun's position at this time was General Wuwei, who was in charge of the palace guards. He smiled and said to Zhuge Ke: "These guards are blind and don't blame them. However, they are also considering the safety of His Majesty. The prime minister has a noble status and can naturally go to the palace, but we don't have this honor."

Zhuge Ke glanced at Sun Jun. Sure enough, he did not have a sword. Among the civil and military officials in the court, it was probably only Zhuge Ke who was treated like this. Zhuge Ke turned around and ordered Zhang Yue and the other two to hand over the sword, and then he stepped into the hall.

Emperor Sun Liang had already been waiting in the hall at this moment. Although Sun Liang was just a twelve-year-old child, he was extremely intelligent since childhood and was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Ke's autocracy. Therefore, Sun Liang acquiesced the matter of Sun Jun plotting to get rid of Zhuge Ke. At this time, luring Zhuge Ke into the palace was clearly a Hongmen banquet, but Sun Liang was calm and unsatisfied.

"I am Zhuge Ke and see Your Majesty." After Zhuge Ke entered the hall, he went forward to salute.

Sun Liang sat high on the dragon bed and nodded slightly and said, "I am calm, I am working hard for national affairs, guarding the border, and working hard and making great contributions. I feel so relieved. People come and give me wine. Today, I am happy to drink with you and Zhuge Youyou. I will never return until I get drunk."

Zhuge Ke sat down, and the tables were filled with delicacies. The nearby servant brought a pot of imperial wine in a tray and delivered it to Zhuge Ke.

Zhang Jun secretly gave Zhuge Ke a wink, telling him not to drink this wine. If the wine is poisonous, wouldn’t it be a death.

Zhuge Ke usually eats and drinks at home. In order to prevent anyone from poisoning, there are special people coming to try it before the meal every day. Only after confirming that it is not poisonous can he dare to eat it. After all, be careful, and he is in a high position. What he is most worried about is that others are poisoning it. If the people in the mansion are bribed, it is really hard to be careful.

Haven't you seen that from ancient times to the present, many heroes have been poured on a glass of poisonous wine. Zhuge Ke never dared to take it lightly.

However, when facing Sun Liang's wine gift, Zhuge Ke was very confused. Only God knows whether this wine is poisonous. From a safety perspective, it is best not to touch this wine. However, if the emperor gave the wine, if he didn't drink it, it seemed that he would not give the emperor face. Moreover, Zhuge Ke could not send it to try whether this wine was poisonous or not. So Zhuge Ke said: "Your Majesty, today I am unwell and it is not convenient to drink. Please forgive me."

Sun Liang immediately looked unhappy and snorted softly, saying, "Zhuge Aiqing is worried about my bar. Someone will come and take the wine."

The nearby servant brought the wine to Sun Liang. Sun Liang did not need to work with him, and poured a glass in person and said, "I will do it first." As he said that, he raised the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Sun Liang is a child after all, and is prone to act irritable. Although his move proved that the wine in the pot was not poisonous, it made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly become a little awkward. Zhuge Ke did not drink it because he suspected that there was something wrong with the wine, and Sun Liang took the initiative to drink it first to prove that there was no problem with the wine. If Zhuge Ke drinks it again at this moment, wouldn’t that be denied the reason why he had previously claimed that he could not drink alcohol if he was sick?

But if he insisted on not drinking, would Sun Liang put his face there again?

The hall suddenly became a little cold, and the atmosphere became solemn and fell into a deadlock.
