"They didn't let you go, how could this king agree. (hua. advertisement), the latest chapter of the visit wèn:. "Chu 'Yu''s eyes were so shiny and radiant, as if they had shone into Mu Xiaoluo's heart, sweeping away the 'yin' haze.
Xiao Luo felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer. Mu Xiaoluo spoke in a low voice. Speechless, Chu 'Yu' straightened his body, then got up, returned the salute to Zhao Shun, and then turned to look at King Xia.
"King Xia can afford to look down on Chu's 'jade', which is the blessing of Chu's 'jade'! Chu's 'jade' promised King Xia that when he succeeds in the future, he will know how to repay his kindness. "Since Chu 'Yu' was relieved, Zhao Shun ordered someone to bring the written national document to the two of them, which was signed by King Xia and Chu 'Yu', in duplicate, and kept separately.
The big thing was settled, and King Xia was happy, so he ordered Zhao Shun to arrange the dinner and prepare to set up a banquet in the Royal 'Flower' Garden of the Summer Palace to entertain Chu 'Yu' and Mu Xiaoluo. Chu 'Yu' did not refuse, and then left the Chenggong with Mu Xiaoluo.
Zhao Shun is also a bright-eyed person, and the accommodation arranged for the two of them is opposite, only separated by a small stone arch bridge, the so-called stone arch, which is pure 'flower' granite, so it can be expected that the state banquet in Daxia is really not expected.
In the room, Yin Xue 'handed' the silver ticket of 100,000 taels of gold to Mu Xiaoluo.
"Master, my subordinates don't understand, why did you say that to Di Feng when you left the prison, and Di Feng didn't nag a lot later. Di Feng's words were too mean, and Yin Xue didn't dare to tell Mu Xiaoluo all of them.
"It's just a matter of covering people's eyes, if this palace doesn't say that, believe it or not, someone will sneak into the prison tonight and ask for Di Feng's life!" Mu Xiaoluo explained with a light smile, as for Di Feng's disrespectful words, she remembered the account first.
"Master Yingming, if you say that, those who framed Di Feng can rest easy!" Yin Xue suddenly said.
Body (. Chapter 374 This palace wants to see Zhao Shun
"Yin Xue, you make arrangements for the palace, after the dinner, the palace wants to see Zhao Shun. Mu Xiaoluo folded the silver ticket in her hand and put it in her sleeve, and solemnly ordered, Yin Xue took the order and retreated.
At this time, Ting Yue, who was carrying tea from outside, walked in.
"Niangniang, the slave maid inquired, the eight princesses and concubines will participate in the banquet in the evening, and there will be some important ministers in the court, Feng Yi and Zhao Shun will be present. Ting Yue reported according to the truth.
"This palace really can't understand why King Xia is so eager to sign a letter of state with Chu 'Yu', doesn't he plan to observe it anymore?" Mu Xiaoluo was puzzled.
"Niangniang, when the slave maid came back from fetching water, I heard that King Xia Guoping's 'daughter' met Lin Shoucheng when she was playing on the street, and then she was taken to the museum by his subordinates. "Ting Yue has only heard so much.
"Really...... Oh, this Lin Shoucheng is really, even if the Xia Kingdom is poor, but the royal family is the royal family, how can he be allowed to be humiliated, if the palace is not mistaken, then Lin Shoucheng may have been killed by King Ping in a rage, plus the news of Chu 'Yu' to Xia Guo can't contain the fire, even if King Xia wants to explain, with Chu Yunzhao's suspicious personality, he will not believe it, instead of living in fear, it is better to bet on Chu 'Yu', and it can be changed. Mu Xiaoluo swept away her doubts, and her mouth suddenly opened.
The dinner party is indeed ordinary and can not be more ordinary, but the scene is very lively, the eight princesses of King Xia have brought their horses into the table, Mu Xiaoluo feels that these eight princesses are gentle and lovely, and they can pick out any one that is more pleasing to the eye than Xia Furong, and I don't know if King Xia's eyes are not without problems, the most favored one, Xu is the most tricky one. Standing in the center at this moment is the fifth princess and her concubine Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan in front of him is a talent, graceful, with bright eyebrows, and a 'strong' posture, perhaps because he loves the house and Wu, Mu Xiaoluo has a good relationship with Feng Yihan, and naturally has good intentions towards Xiahou Yuan, who has also been persecuted by Concubine Hua. After the fifth princess and Xiahou Yuan were seated, the eldest princess and Feng Yuanshan were late.
Mu Xiaoluo deliberately looked at Feng Yuanshan, her complexion was dark, her sword eyebrows were starry, and she had an indescribable domineering aura on her body behind the 'door', which made Mu Xiaoluo look sideways.
Seeing that the eight princesses had arrived, Mu Xiaoluo subconsciously glanced at King Xia, only to see that although King Xia had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of sadness, Mu Xiaoluo knew that he was hurt.
Next, the important ministers of the court and the central government entered the table, and to Mu Xiaoluo's surprise, the wife carried by Feng Yi was not the original match.
"The wife of the chaff doesn't go to court, this Feng Yi is inevitably a little ruthless. Mu Xiaoluo muttered quietly.
"How do you know that the one next to Feng Yi is not his bad wife?" Chu 'Yu' leaned over to Mu Xiaoluo's side and said disapprerovingly.
"Does the prince think that beautiful woman with twenty-eight graces can give birth to a burly and sturdy son like a big horse?" Mu Xiaoluo felt that Chu 'Yu' was asking this question almost idiotically.
"How does this king know that the big horse is Feng Yi's son!"
"The blind can see that the beauty next to Feng Yi is only in her early twenties, will she be a dross? If it is true, it can only mean that Feng Yi matured too late. Mu Xiaoluo shook her head, she always thought that Chu 'Yu's logical thinking was okay, but it turned out that she was wrong.
"Mother, the big colt seems to be upset. Ting Yue leaned over to Mu Xiaoluo's ear and whispered. Mu Xiaoluo raised her eyes when she heard the voice, and saw that the eldest princess sitting on the left side of the opposite side seemed to be appeasing Feng Yuanshan who was angry.
"It looks like it's not light. Mu Xiaoluo seemed to have deep meaning and murmured.
Let's say that at the banquet, everyone raised their glasses and drank freely, and occasionally sang and danced to help the fun, which looked peaceful, but most of them were also smiling at the 'meat' and not laughing, so after this banquet, everyone also felt tasteless.
Until the end of the banquet, when Mu Xiaoluo returned to the room, Chu 'Yu' also followed.
"Is there something wrong with the prince?" Seeing Chu 'Yu' walking in, Mu Xiaoluo raised her eyebrows and asked.
"It's okay, just a cup of tea. "Chu 'Yu' said it as a matter of course, and the smile was light and light.
"Isn't there any tea in the prince's room? If not, Xiaoluo will let Ting Yue brew it and send it over, it's not too early, it's better for the prince to rest early." Mu Xiaoluo politely refused.
"You...... Don't you welcome this king?" "In my memory, this was the first time Mu Xiaoluo had rejected him, and Chu 'Yu' chuckled in his heart, as if he had dropped something, which was very uncomfortable.
Xiao Luo just felt that it was too late. Mu Xiaoluo smiled gently.
"Oh...... Then you should rest earlier. Chu 'Yu' nodded subconsciously, then turned around, and hesitated for a moment before stepping onto the stone arch bridge.
It wasn't until she watched Chu 'Yu' close the 'door' of the room that Mu Xiaoluo turned around.
"Mother, in fact, the slave maid thinks ...... It's still early!" Ting Yue laughed dryly, but she didn't see Mu Xiaoluo respond, so she had to smile boredly and wait respectfully by Mu Xiaoluo's side.
"Ting Yue, have you noticed that after the entire banquet, almost every important minister in the court toasted Zhao Shun, except for Feng Yi?" Mu Xiaoluo sat down on the chair with a solemn expression.
"Yes, the slave and maid only watched the big pony and the five ponies, and the rest of the people didn't pay much attention. But what does this mean?" Ting Yue wondered.
It shows that the relationship between Zhao Shun and Feng Yi is not harmonious, even if they are just acting on the spot, they are unwilling. Mu Xiaoluo's eyes were tinged with a faint 'color'. At this moment, Yin Xue came and nodded at Mu Xiaoluo.
"Ting Yue, you stay and guard Chu, if anyone asks, just say that the palace is asleep, do you know?" After Mu Xiaoluo instructed Ting Yue, Zhuan Er and Yin Xue left the summer palace together and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Generally speaking, a sealed place like the stone room of the stone room is extremely dark, and Chu Mingzhu is the best lighting choice, but unfortunately at this moment, five torches were lit in the entire stone room, and Mu Xiaoluo's eyes were uncomfortable with the green smoke coming out of the torches.
"After the old man knocked on Chu, I don't know what is the important matter for the old man to meet after Chu?" Zhao Shun saw Mu Xiaoluo walk in and saluted respectfully.
"Zhao Xiang, please take a seat. After Mu Xiaoluo sat down, she raised her hand to signal Zhao Shun. Zhao Shun was not pretentious, got up and sat opposite Mu Xiaoluo.
"The dignified Prime Minister's Mansion can't even take out a Chu Mingzhu?" Mu Xiaoluo looked around and spoke softly, Zhao Shun was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"If there is something to do after Chu, you might as well speak out, and the old man will listen to him. "In the end, it was a prime minister, and there were still some city governments. Speechless, Mu Xiaoluo Ying's lips smiled lightly, and then put the silver ticket of 100,000 taels of gold from her sleeve on the stone case.
"This is ......" Zhao Shunhu looked at the silver ticket on the table suspiciously, and when he saw the amount on it, he couldn't help but gasp, but he recovered in a moment.
"What does Empress Chu mean by this? Although Great Xia is poor, people are not short of ambitions, and Empress Chu doesn't have to insult the old man with this kind of thing!" Zhao Shun was furious.
"Zhao Xiang misunderstood, this 100,000 taels of gold is just a deposit, and this palace wants to order 500,000 rattan chairs in Great Xia. Mu Xiaoluo had expected that Zhao Shun was not a short-handed master, so even if he had the intention to bribe with money, he had to think of a good rhetoric.
"Rattan chair? What did Empress Chu say...... But this kind of rattan chair?" Zhao Shun was surprised, and pointed to the chair sitting under his buttocks.
"Yes, it's this kind of rattan chair, but the rattan chair on Zhao Xiang's house is too simple, if you put some effort into the preparation, I believe it will sell very well." Mu Xiaoluo briefly put forward her opinion.
"Empress Chu is not joking, don't say 500,000, even if it is 5 million, it is not worth 100,000 taels of gold. Zhao Shun smiled bitterly.
"Whether it's worth it or not is a matter of the palace, whether you do this business or not depends on Zhao Xiang's meaning. Mu Xiaoluo's beautiful eyes were like stars, and the light that burst out during them was as sharp as a blade.
"Zhao Xiang didn't know that my master was not only the Empress of Chu, but also the big boss of Mangyuan's 'Jingmu', with the strength of 'Jingmu', 500,000 rattan chairs could be sold in the blink of an eye. Yin Xue lost no time in adding.
"Are you the big boss of the 'Jing Mu'?" Zhao Shun's eyes widened sharply, and he slapped the case violently, and looked at Mu Xiaoluo with excitement. Regarding Zhao Shun's reaction, Mu Xiaoluo felt that it was too 'excited', she thought about it repeatedly, 'Jing Mu' didn't seem to have offended Da Xia, right?
"What's the problem?" Mu Xiaoluo choked on her throat and spoke.
"The old man is looking for you so hard!" As the prime minister of a country, Zhao Shun didn't want to take off the hat of the first poor country, but there was no way out, and then heard the prestige of the 'Jing Mu' from the mouth of the Xia State Jujia, so he thought that he could get acquainted with the big boss of the 'Jing Mu', and discussed a win-win situation with him, but after several setbacks to no avail, Zhao Shun gave up, but he didn't want to meet him in his secret room today, how not to let him 'excited'.
"Ahem...... Then did Zhao Xiang agree to this business in this palace?" Mu Xiaoluo sighed secretly and raised her eyebrows to look at Zhao Shun.
"I can't ask for it! I wonder when these 500,000 rattan chairs will be 'delivered'?" Zhao Shun was pleasantly surprised and put away the silver ticket of 100,000 taels of gold. Seeing that Zhao Shun took the silver, Mu Xiaoluo opened her mouth.
"It's not in a hurry to 'deliver' the goods, Zhao Xiang just orders someone to do it, and send it to Mangyuan after it's done, it's just ...... It's just that there is something in the palace that I want to ask Zhao Xiang for help. As soon as Mu Xiaoluo's words turned, Zhao Shun suddenly knew in his heart, although the smile on his face was not as exaggerated as just now, it was still very bright.
"If Empress Chu has something to do, as long as the old man can help, he will definitely not refuse. Zhao Shun felt that there was a Bodhisattva in front of him, and he couldn't afford to offend.
"The matter of Princess Shuorong, this palace has heard a little, but this palace still knows a lot about Prince Di, and with his 'nature', he should not do such a hurtful thing, so ......" Before Mu Xiaoluo finished speaking, he saw Zhao Shun take out the silver ticket in his hand and push it in front of Mu Xiaoluo.
"If it's something else, the prime minister can help, but the matter of the ninth princess, the old man can't do anything. I believe that Empress Chu should have heard that the emperor's favor for the nine princesses is unparalleled, and now that the nine princesses have died unjustly, the emperor will not let go of the nine horses if he says anything. Although Zhao Shun was reluctant, sometimes, money was really hot.
"What is Zhao Xiang doing, what this palace says is not in conflict with the business between us, Yin Xue. Mu Xiaoluo didn't expect Zhao Shun to be so resolute, so she glanced at Yin Xue. Yin Xue understood his intentions, and insisted on 'handing' the silver ticket to Zhao Shun.
"But ......" Zhao Xiang was in trouble.
"Zhao Xiang is afraid that he has misunderstood the meaning of this palace, if Di Feng is really the murderer of the ninth princess, this palace will naturally not protect his shortcomings, and if he wants to kill him, he will only rely on the words of King Xia, but if Di Feng is wronged, it is not good for this palace to watch him be a substitute for others, right?"
"Empress Chu suspects that the Nine Horses are wronged? This is unlikely, isn't it? At the beginning, all the subordinates in the Princess's Mansion saw the Nine Horses coming out of the bedroom with a dagger in hand, and the dagger was full of blood, and when the people entered, the Nine Princesses had already been stabbed several times, and died a miserable death!" Zhao Shun briefly described the scene at that time, sighing from time to time.
"Sometimes, even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not be true, it is better to beg Zhao Xiang to suspend the death penalty of Di Feng and give this palace a few days, how about it?" Mu Xiaoluo looked at Zhao Shun begging, her expression solemn.
"This matter is difficult to do, King Xia was originally scheduled to execute Di Feng Ling Chi at the noon 'gate' the day after tomorrow......" Zhao Shun's eyebrows were entangled, and Mu Xiaoluo could see that he was not lying.
"The day after tomorrow...... I'm afraid it's too late the day after tomorrow!" Mu Xiaoluo frowned and spoke worriedly.
"In this way, Benxiang will find a way to postpone the execution date by ten days, if after ten days, Empress Chu still can't find evidence to overturn the case for Jiu Yuma, then the old man can't do anything. Zhao Shun was a little helpless.
"Then ten days, Zhao Xiang's kindness, Xiaoluo will report it one day!" Mu Xiaoluo nodded fiercely, and then exchanged a few words with Zhao Shun before leaving.
To Mu Xiaoluo's surprise, Chu 'Yu' actually robbed the prison and single-handedly.
