"Ambassador Mu, let me introduce to you, this is the Queen."
Hearing this, Muchuan smiled, bowed and said, "It turns out she is the queen. Foreign ministers are being polite."
"Haha, Ambassador Mu, there is no need to be polite. I have always had a very good impression of Datang. Seeing Ambassador Mu's face today, I have fulfilled one of my wishes."
The queen smiled slightly, her motherly temperament clearly evident.
Muchuan also felt a little emotional.
The queen of a small country like Silla has such a temperament.
So if she were the empress of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of person would she be?
Speaking of which, his wife Princess Changle, whom he has never met, is the newborn daughter of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.
Inexplicably, Muchuan had an impulse in his heart.
After returning to Chang'an, I must find a way to meet Princess Changle.
At least you need to know what the other person looks like.
"Ambassador Mu, please speak inside."
"Queen please first."
After entering the room, the queen first chatted with Muchuan for a long time.
They were mostly just words of greetings, but they made Muchuan feel quite embarrassed.
Xue Rengui was also staring at him. If he had a choice, he would rather wait outside the house.
As for Mu Yingchen, she was not polite at all and stuffed her mouth with the cakes and fruits on the table.
Not only was this behavior caused by others, but even the queen was attracted to her attention.
"Ambassador Mu, Ling Qianjin is so cute, I love you so much when I see her." The queen looked at Muchuan and smiled lightly.
Muchuan nodded helplessly, "Xiaoying is lucky to receive the queen's love."
Muchuan did not explain his relationship with Xiaoying here.
There is no need to explain to a foreign nobleman.
Anyway, from Muchuan's point of view, after he supports the second prince and takes office, the queen may not live long.
"Ambassador Mu, actually, I have invited you here to discuss important matters."
Finally got to the topic.
Muchuan's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder what the queen said?"
The queen did not say anything directly, but waved her hand towards the servants, "Please step aside."
Seeing this, Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Xue Rengui to take Mu Yingchen away.
When Muchuan and the Queen were the only two people left in the room, the Queen spoke.
"Ambassador Mu, there is something you may not know yet."
"oh?"
"The late king died last night. I heard that he had an affair with a demon girl and angered the gods. The gods sent a cat spirit to take his life."
Muchuan noticed that when the queen talked about this matter, there was no sad expression on her face.
It seems that although the queen and the King of Silla are actually husband and wife, they do not have any feelings of husband and wife.
But this is normal, after all, the queen only gave birth to one heir, and he was also mentally retarded.
The King of Silla would naturally be resentful about this.
However, Muchuan felt a little dumbfounded by the rumors from the queen's mouth.
It was obviously Xiaoying who assassinated the King of Silla, but why did it spread that even the cat spirit appeared?
"Is there such a strange thing?"
Muchuan pretended to be sad and said: "The foreign minister feels deeply sorry for what happened to your country."
"It's just that the foreign minister doesn't know what the Queen wants to discuss with me. What does it have to do with this matter?"
Although he asked this question, Muchuan had already roughly guessed it in his heart.
It is estimated that the queen also wants to use the power of the envoys to support the prince's successful succession to the throne.
As expected, what the queen said was exactly the same as Muchuan's guess.
"Therefore, I hope Ambassador Mu can help us, mother and son."
The queen wiped away her tears and said, "My son's life is miserable. If he loses power, he will probably be killed by his brothers sooner or later."
Hearing this, Muchuan shook his head and said: "Queen, this matter is your Silla's state affairs. I'm afraid it won't be good for me to wait for outsiders to interfere, right?"
"Ambassador Mu, don't worry. As long as you are willing to help, I can make a promise that Silla will regard the Tang Dynasty as a respected country from now on."
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This development was beyond his imagination.
If this is the case, this mission has a success rate of 70% to 80%.
After all, given the prince's situation, it was the queen who was designated to listen to politics behind the curtain when the prince took office.
Unlike the new king who has just taken office, the queen's right to speak is still quite important, and those ministers may have to comply no matter how reluctant they are.
Seeing that Muchuan seemed to be interested, the queen was overjoyed and quickly added: "I know that Ambassador Mu is here to persuade Silla to attack from behind when your country attacks Goguryeo."
"Although the old king refused, if the prince takes office, I will definitely mobilize the whole country to assist the Tang Dynasty."
Muchuan could not help but struggle even more in his heart.
Compared with spending a lot of effort to support the second prince, it takes almost no effort to help the prince ascend the throne.
After all, they are legitimate, and the envoys only need to express their attitude openly, and most of the young people will lose their desire to seize the throne.
However, this would make Muchuan's plan missing a link.
Without the chess piece of the second prince, it might be difficult to provoke a war between Silla and Baekje in the future.
"Ambassador Mu, what are you still hesitating about?"
The queen was also a little anxious and said anxiously: "If someone else takes over the throne and Silla falls into war, wouldn't it be more difficult to complete Ambassador Mu's mission?"
Hearing this, Muchuan slowly looked at the queen, but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Queen, your proposal is quite tempting, but I cannot agree to it."
"Why?"
The queen's pretty face suddenly turned pale.
Muchuan waved his hand and said helplessly: "I said from the beginning that this is Silla's state affairs and it is inconvenient for us to interfere. Otherwise, how will the world view me, the Tang Dynasty?"
Although he did have such concerns, what was more important was that Muchuan was unwilling to give up the second prince as a chess piece.
Rather than being convenient now and causing trouble later, it is better to do the opposite.
The queen's face became even paler.
Didn't she know that once the prince lost his throne, both she and the prince would be in catastrophe?
After all, no matter who takes power in the end, they will try their best to get rid of the crown prince, the legitimate successor.
"Queen, the foreign ministers have important matters to attend to, so they will leave first."
"Queen, don't worry too much, maybe no one will take the crown prince's position at all."
To be honest, even Muchuan himself didn't believe this last sentence.
Not to mention others, he himself was planning to let the second prince seize the throne.
Muchuan had just stood up and was about to leave, but he heard rapid footsteps behind him.
Muchuan couldn't help but feel startled when he felt something attacking him.
Could it be that the queen was so angry that she wanted to assassinate her?
As soon as he turned around, a body full of fragrance hugged Muchuan.
"Queen, what do you mean?"
Muchuan's face turned red instantly.
Don't look at Muchuan, who usually strategizes and looks quite mature.
But whether it was this life or the previous life, he was still a virgin and had never smelled the fragrance of a woman.
"Mu Lang, please help me. As long as you help, I will give you whatever you want."
Feeling the warm air gushing to his earlobes and the charming voice in his ears, Muchuan's whole body stiffened.
