If you think about it carefully, it seems understandable. After all, the eldest princess is the only daughter of Queen Xilin, and she will also be the future Queen of Xilin. Unfortunately, her whereabouts are unknown now, and it is still unknown whether she can be found.
But if we can get a few princes to come and look for it, I'm afraid there might be some clues showing up in Da Qi.
It's just that there were no such episodes in the previous life, and there were no envoys from the west at all. Now it is getting more and more complicated, and I don't know if Gu Hanzhang can escape smoothly in the capital.
Based on the distance between Xilin and Daqi, it takes about more than a month to get there.
If they had already set off a few days ago, it should only take about a month, and presumably it should not affect their travel.
Chaoli was not interested in the envoys from Xilin. If he was interested, it was because he felt he was an outstanding woman and admired the Queen of Xilin.
"As an envoy, we should take it seriously." Gu Hanzhang said.
Linglong still looked ugly, "But what I'm worried about is that my father, the king, may send people over and do something. If he does it secretly and something happens to the princes in Daqi, I'm afraid there will be an army in Xilin.
"
As soon as he said these words, Gu Hanzhang looked as usual and tapped the middle finger of his right hand lightly on the table. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Chaoli's expression changed, obviously understanding what Linglong meant.
"If that's the case, will Prince Gong directly attack the princes secretly?" Chaoli murmured, and immediately shook his head, "Probably not. I think that if the princes go to Daqi as envoys,
If the missing eldest princess is really found, maybe Prince Gong will take action. If Prince Gong kills several princes and takes away the eldest princess, it is not impossible. But the princes are not so stupid as they are in the royal family.
People, of course, cannot stupidly let Prince Gong deal with them. Perhaps Daqi will become another battlefield for them to fight for, a battlefield for internal fighting. I thought that Xilin would be different under the Queen's rule, but now it seems
, it’s similar to Da Qi. Sure enough, the battle for the throne never involves men or women.”
After finishing speaking, Chaoli looked at Gu Hanzhang, only to see Gu Hanzhang looking at her with a complicated expression.
As for Linglong, her eyes widened with surprise.
Gu Hanzhang and Linglong didn't speak, which made Chaoli a little confused. He didn't know what their reaction was, it was weird.
"The imperial concubine is really as meticulous as dust, and her analysis of me, Xilin, is very clear. If the imperial concubine had not been a woman, I believe she would have accomplished something even if she had entered an official career." Linglong's eyes were filled with admiration.
The first time he met Chaoli, he found this woman interesting and even considered abducting her.
Of course, it wasn't because I liked Chaoli, but I happened to hate Gu Hanzhang at that time, and I thought Chaoli was very good, so I had such an idea.
Now it seems that she is not just interesting, she is really a smart woman.
Chaoli smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually. Just listen to these words and don't take them to heart. I don't know much about things in the court, it's just my personal thoughts."
"You can analyze the situation to this point just based on my words. It is a loss for the Crown Princess not to be an official in the court. Maybe there will be something unexpected for the Crown Prince in the future, and the Crown Princess can still help. After all, you and your wife are both smart and can work together.
I will definitely be able to get things done better." Linglong said.
In fact, Linglong was joking. Chaoli and Gu Hanzhang both understood that there were no female officials in Daqi.
However, Gu Hanzhang glanced at Chaoli covertly, and quickly looked away, his eyes dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing Gu Hanzhang's expression, Linglong thought he was thinking about Xi Linchen, so she didn't bother him.
Chaoli did not disturb Gu Hanzhang and spoke a few words to Linglong in a low voice.
After a while, Gu Hanzhang spoke.
"I already know about the envoy from Xilin. I will pay attention to it. You go back first." Gu Hanzhang issued an order to expel the guest.
Linglong stood up and said, "Okay, then I will wait for the prince's arrangements."
"Um."
After Linglong left, Gu Hanzhang went to the study, called Qin Feng, and asked him to do two things.
Qin Feng naturally carried out Gu Hanzhang's order immediately. He even had doubts about one of the things and didn't understand why Gu Hanzhang wanted to check that person, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After Qin Feng left, Gu Hanzhang couldn't help but murmur.
"Should I stop it?"
Unfortunately, the entire study was very quiet, and no one could answer Gu Hanzhang. The Chaoli he was talking about had just been invited to Shaohua Garden.
After being invited over by Princess Desao, Chaoli actually had some guesses in his mind, but he still had to pretend not to know.
"Mother, I wonder why you called me here?" Chaoli looked slightly blessed.
Princess Dessau looked ugly at the moment, "Why, can't I just let you come over if nothing happens?"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare. If anything happens to my mother, she can call me over at any time. As long as it's her mother's request, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to disobey her. This is what she should do." Chaoli replied.
Although Chaoli's words were very humble, Princess Desao was obviously not very happy.
Thinking of what Gu Hanzhang told her yesterday after returning from Gongyuan, Princess Desao felt as uncomfortable as a cat's claws scratching her, and she almost didn't sleep all night.
Even though she was not very satisfied with Chaoli in her heart, she was helpless because she had more important things to ask Chaoli now.
"Daughter-in-law Hanzhang, let me ask you, what did Yue'er say to you? Do you ever know anything about her sweetheart?" Princess Desao frowned.
Chaoli smiled slightly, "Mom knows it well, why bother asking more? Yes, I do know something. My sister came over to ask me about the other party's safety."
"Who is the person in her heart? I heard from Hanzhang that he was an imperial merchant. How can a mere businessman be worthy of Yue'er!" Princess Desao almost burst into flames.
If she didn't know who this person was, she would have killed him!
After hearing Princess Desshao's words, Chaoli already understood that Gu Hanzhang had told Princess Desshao that Gu Xiyue had a sweetheart.
However, he did not say that the other party was Linglong, a businessman disguised as a woman.
It is not impossible to put aside Linglong's identity as a woman and openly propose to marry Gu Xiyue as a man. After all, he is considered to be of noble status, and the blood of the Xilin royal family is flowing through his body.
It's a pity that now he can't reveal his identity and has to continue to show off in women's clothing. Moreover, Linglong doesn't seem to have Gu Xiyue in her heart.
"Don't be anxious, mother. My sister is not without sense. She understands in her heart that she and he are not equal in status, so she doesn't behave in any extraordinary way." Chaoli comforted her.
There is no way of knowing whether this comfort has gone wrong.
