Climbing up the long stairs is the Taiji Hall of the Xia Kingdom. The Taiji Hall is just like the Jinluan Hall of the Ning Kingdom. It is a place where courtiers go to court in the morning and receive foreign envoys. It has been more than three months since they arrived in the Xia Kingdom, and Yun Shang is also the first
This is the first time I have stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.
The Tai Chi Hall is paved with marble, which is bright and visible. From the entrance of the hall to the dragon chair, there is a road paved with jade, with lifelike dragons and phoenixes carved in the middle. On the top of the Tai Chi Hall is a large Tai Chi Bagua picture.
.
Yun Shang lowered her head and followed Wang Jinhuan as she walked on the jade stone. Naturally, you couldn't step on the dragon at will. When she reached the end of the dragon's body, Wang Jinhuan knelt down and said, "Ning Guo's envoy Wang Jinhuan..."
"Xiao Yun." Yun Shang lowered her head and said in a deep voice. Fortunately, Liu Yinfeng was not here, otherwise she would have attracted his attention when she heard this name. However, she couldn't think of any suitable pseudonym for a while.
"Su Shang." "Wu Meng." "Zhao Wenrui."
"Meet your Majesty." After everyone reported their names, the five of them said in unison and saluted Xia Huanyu.
"Five envoys, please rise." Xia Huanyu's voice came, with the aura of a king, but also calmly and without any emotion, "I will give you a seat at the right time."
The palace servants moved the chairs up, and Yun Shang and Wang Jinhuan sat down together. Then they raised their eyes to look at the courtiers on both sides. Yun Shang glanced lightly, and saw a bit of uneasiness in their eyes.
It's okay to be uneasy, Yun Shang thought in her mind.
"I wonder why the five envoys came here this time?" Xia Huanyu's eyes swept over the five people sitting in the hall one by one, paused slightly on Wang Jinhuan, and then fell on Yun Shang. Yun Shang lowered his eyes.
Sitting silently.
Only then did Wang Jinhuan speak, "In a few days, it will be the longevity of our Emperor Ningguo. Both the Emperor and Concubine Jin miss Princess Yunshang, so they specially asked Wei Chen to serve as an envoy to visit Princess Yunshang in Xia Kingdom. In previous years, every time
During the Emperor's Longevity Festival, Princess Yunshang always presents novel and interesting birthday gifts. However, when Weichen came from the border, he heard rumors along the way that something had happened to Princess Yunshang. Weichen wanted to ask Your Majesty what happened.
What on earth is going on..."
Xia Huanyu frowned and said after a while, "Some time ago, Princess Rirui went to Hanyun Temple to pray for blessings. She encountered a bandit on the way and was unfortunately killed."
Bandit Yun Shang's eyes flashed with coldness, he really knew how to make excuses for himself.
Wang Jinhuan also smiled coldly, "Really? Bandit? When he was in Ningguo, the emperor loved Princess Yun Shang very much. He gave Princess Yun Shang dozens of secret guards to protect her and protect her around her.
The safety of the princess. I don’t know that the bandits of the Xia Kingdom are so powerful that they can’t even defeat the secret guards. I wonder if your majesty can tell Wei Chen that they are the bandits on that mountain. Wei Chen also wants to meet him.
Last time."
Xia Huanyu never thought that this envoy from the Ning Kingdom, who looked very feminine, turned out to be an unscrupulous master, and refuted his words in front of all the civil and military officials. Xia Huanyu squinted his eyes, and there was a flash in his eyes.
After a moment of displeasure, he stroked the jade ring on his thumb.
Yun Shang also discovered that whenever Xia Huanyu was in a bad mood, he would often touch the jade ring. With a slight movement in his heart, he spoke:
"Master Wang has always been more outspoken, and I hope your Majesty will not take offense. However, something happened to Princess Huiguo three months after arriving in Xia Kingdom. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be furious. The ministers really don't know how to explain to the emperor.
After all, Princess Huiguo is the emperor’s favorite princess..."
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu said coldly, "It's a pity, but now Princess Huiguo is Princess Rui of Xia Kingdom. Something happened to her, and everyone was very angry, but she is gone. No matter how much Emperor Ningguo blames her,
, but I can’t transform myself into Princess Rui.”
"Wei Chen naturally knows this truth, but Princess Yunshang's death was so mysterious that His Majesty wanted to send us away just by saying "bandit". Wei Chen just wanted to know what kind of powerful bandit he was.
Even the secret guards can't deal with them. If the bandits of the Xia Kingdom are so powerful, why can't they dominate the world?" Wang Jinhuan has always been a person who is not afraid of trouble. He is used to being domineering in the Ning Kingdom. How can he be afraid of Xia Huanyu? What he said is simply
It can make people angry to death.
Yun Shang smiled in her heart, but saw Wang Jinhuan speak again, "Moreover, I heard that there was a funeral in Prince Rui's Mansion the day before yesterday, but in the middle of the road, someone actually came to make trouble and overturned the coffin. The most amazing thing is
Unfortunately, the coffin was actually empty. May I ask, Your Majesty, is the Xia Kingdom so chaotic that even a funeral can be disrupted by someone? Also, since the princess is said to be gone, I heard that the body was sent to Jincheng, and Your Majesty also personally
It has been inspected, why is there only an empty coffin left during the funeral? Where is the body? It is already very sad and infuriating that the princess died in a foreign land, and now there is no body left. Wei Chen has sent a letter back about this.
Ning Guo is in the hands of the emperor, I wonder how your majesty will deal with this matter?"
Xia Huanyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he did not speak.
"Presumptuous." Su Qi stood up, looked at Wang Jinhuan and scolded him angrily.
Wang Jinhuan laughed when he heard the words, "This is? Su Taiwei, right?" After a pause, he continued, "You said I am presumptuous, so I am. But, if I can't give a surprising answer,
Satisfactory explanation, our Ningguo will be even more outrageous, and we are still to come."
"You..." Su Qi was about to speak, but Wang Jinhuan interrupted him again, "By the way, I heard that Prince Jing didn't know that something happened to the princess. When he was in Ningguo, Prince Jing pampered the prince and everyone loved him.
If Prince Jing gets angry about something we know, I'm afraid he will be a little presumptuous."
"It is a great honor for our country to have Your Majesty Wang as an envoy to our country. We are deeply sorry for what happened to Princess Rui. We will also try our best to find the murderer and find the body of Princess Rui. We also ask Your Majesty Wang to be calm. Post House
It has been packed up. Sir Wang may as well take a rest in the post house. If there is news, we will inform several adults as soon as possible." The seventh prince came out and bowed his hands towards Wang Jinhuan, his words were very humble and polite.
.
Wang Jinhuan was about to speak when he heard a faint voice coming from outside, "Report——"
Yun Shang's ears twitched slightly. This should be an urgent military report from the front line. Only urgent military information can be reported directly to the emperor with the arrows in the main hall.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment. Now that Xia State and Ning State have formed an alliance, even if the father sends troops because of her matter, it will not be so fast. And the war that Xia State is fighting now is with the Ya clan.
The war is over. Could it be that there is some news from the Ya clan?
Xia Huanyu frowned and glanced at the five people sitting there. After a moment of silence, he said, "Pass."
One after another, "Military orders are sent to the audience..." rang out from near to far. A soldier wearing armor walked into the door of the hall, holding an arrow in his hand and kneeling on the ground. "Hail, Your Majesty..." With that, he held the arrow with both hands.
He raised it above his head and said, "Military information from the front is urgent. Prince Rui found out about the princess in the army, ignored military discipline and orders, and left the military camp without permission."
Yun Shang was slightly stunned. I had clearly written a letter and told him the matter. Why is he still doing this?
There was a sour feeling in her heart. When she was in danger before, she had been thinking about how great it would be if Luo Qingyan was by her side. But because she knew that was impossible, she had to force herself to do that.
She suppressed her thoughts and forced herself to be strong and bear the burden. It was precisely because of this that she suddenly discovered that in fact, many times, she was not as strong as she imagined. Every time she encountered something
Sometimes, she always subconsciously wants to rely on Luo Qingyan.
"Nonsense!" Xia Huanyu's roar suddenly woke Yun Shang out of her thoughts. Yun Shang subconsciously raised her head and saw the veins on Xia Huanyu's forehead bulging, and the long scar on his face looked a bit...
ferocious.
"Stop him and don't let him return to Jincheng. Tell him to go back to the Ya clan according to my wishes." Xia Huanyu's voice was filled with obvious anger.
Wang Jinhuan laughed out loud inappropriately, "I have just reminded your Majesty that the prince and the princess have a deep love. If the prince knew that the princess was killed, he would definitely be furious. Your Majesty thought that everyone was so unlucky.
, don’t you even care about your wife’s life and death?” After saying that, he stood up and said, “The ministers will take their leave first, your majesty is blessed.”
Yun Shang also stood up and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall. Hearing that there were ninety-nine steps in front of the Tai Chi Hall, Yun Shang followed Wang Jinhuan and heard Wang Jinhuan whisper, "I just said Luo Qingyan, that boy is not
Maybe An An can help that old fox Xia Huanyu with his life. When he comes back, I'm afraid he will cause chaos in Jincheng again, haha, I can't wait."
Yun Shang felt a few black lines appear on her forehead. Looking at Wang Jinhuan who was so happy, Yun Shang couldn't help but said to attack his confidence, "I think you may not be able to see that day. You just will
Xia Huanyu has offended Su Qi one by one, and I don’t know if you will have a chance to see the sun tomorrow."
Wang Jinhuan turned around and looked at Yun Shang with squinted peach blossom eyes, "Do you know what I am best at?"
Yun Shang was stunned when he heard this and shook his head, "What I am best at is Qinggong. My ability to escape is absolutely unmatched by anyone. Who makes Xia Huanyu ugly and old dare to touch my breasts?"
Qian, it’s already fine if I don’t draw a sword at you.”
After Wang Jinhuan finished speaking, he suddenly restrained his bohemian expression and became serious, "I just smelled a strange fragrance on the seventh prince, like incense, but ordinary people basically only use incense.
One kind, but on him I smelled the aroma of styrax, galangal, magnolia and grassgrass, and even a faint smell of Sichuan peppercorns." (To be continued)
