Houyi Kingdom, Royal City, Royal Palace.

Siqin sat quietly on top of the spacious palace hall, the morning meeting had just ended, she was a little tired, the ministers had already left the hall, but she didn't get up to leave, the excitement on that beautiful face still didn't fade.

At today's court meeting, Siqin conveyed the news from the Soul Capital to the ministers: Xiao Cui had successfully completed the task and helped Xiao Zhang control the Xuanyuan Gate. Not only that, Xiao Cui met the Thirteen Princes by chance and established a precious relationship with them, so it became logical that the original plan to offer treasures to the Emperor was a bit blunt.

Indeed, Xiao Cui's encounter with the Thirteen Princes was an unexpected joy, Queen Houyi did not have the luxury of marrying the Houyi clan and the Human Empire at all, but Xiao Cui turned this unthinkable extravagant hope into a reality. What's more, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, Long Yan Dayue, happily accepted the treasure of the town and country offered by the Houyi clan, which means that the Houyi Kingdom has really been protected by the imperial court since then.

Siqin had a lot of reason to be excited, so much so that she was reluctant to leave after the court meeting, wanting to continue to experience this feeling of happiness and keep this feeling of happiness forever.

At this moment, a maid came up and said, "Your Majesty, the little prince is crying for you." ”

Siqin's heart swelled with warmth: "You ask the nurse to bring the little prince to the main hall, this king will not leave here for the time being." ”

The maid took the order, and after a while, she saw an old man carrying a child of two or three years old to the main hall, and a wrinkled old face was full of a smile of satisfaction.

"Siqin, the court meeting has been open for a long time, and it is already noon at this moment. The old man smiled and said, "It's time for lunch." ”

Dare to know the name of the queen, in the Houyi Kingdom, there is only the old leader, this old man is Siqin's father, the leader of the original Zongbu tribe.

Siqin immediately got up and said, "Father, why are you here? Just let the nurse bring the little prince here." ”

The old leader shook his head and smiled: "I'm old, I don't have a few days to live, so take two more steps if I can." So saying, he laid the little prince on the ground.

The little prince had never been to the court hall, and when he saw such a spacious hall, he was very excited, running around the hall and playing to his heart's content.

Siqin smiled happily, looking at herself and the man's son, tears flowed from her beautiful eyes. Where are you, man, will you ever come back?

"Mom. The little prince had enough of playing with the net, so he ran over excitedly and threw himself into Siqin's arms, "Mom, what kind of place is this? It's so big, so beautiful!"

In this world, mothers are called mothers or mothers, but the little prince calls Siqin so because of Xiao Zhang. Siqin remembered that Xiao Zhang once said that if he had a child with her in the future, he would call her mother and father.

Siqin remembered it and did it.

"Mommy, where is Daddy, and when is he coming to me?" asked the little prince, pouting.

Siqin raised her hand to wipe her tears and said, "Wang Er, Dad will definitely come to you." ”

The little prince nodded in agreement, then broke free from Siqin's embrace and began to jump and play in the hall again.

The old leader walked up to Siqin, sighed and said, "It's been nearly three years since Xiao Guiren left the wilderness, and your child is already two years old, but I don't know if he still remembers here." ”

Siqin's expression was gloomy for a while, and then immediately turned into happiness: "Father, the nobles will definitely not forget the Houyi clan, according to the news from the soul capital, the reason why Xiaocui was able to marry the empire was because the nobles acted as a matchmaker and matched the newcomers." Nobleman, really a nobleman of my Houyi clan!"

At the mention of marrying the empire, the old leader was also excited to tears, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, one of the guards hurriedly ran into the main hall and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to Your Majesty, the Imperial Courier has brought a message that the Imperial Visiting Mission is on its way, and it is estimated that it will arrive within an hour, please go out of the city to greet Your Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Siqin and the old leader were taken aback! Neither of them could have imagined that the imperial court would send an envoy to visit, let alone that it would come so quickly.

Happiness and excitement suddenly filled the hearts of the two, the old leader actually cried excitedly, Siqin was also very excited, and the red glow on her beautiful face fluttered.

"Got it. Siqin tried to restrain her excitement and said. The guards retreated respectfully.

However, it didn't take long for happiness to be replaced by doubt, Siqin still had some brains after all, otherwise he would not have governed the Houyi Kingdom in an orderly manner.

She felt that this visit of the so-called Imperial Mission seemed a little suspicious.

According to normal reasoning and etiquette, it should also be that the Houyi Kingdom sent an envoy to pay tribute to the imperial court, and even the queen of Houyi personally rushed to the soul capital to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

However, the Imperial Court did the opposite, and even took the initiative to send an envoy to visit the Houyi Kingdom.

Besides, even if the empire wants to send an envoy to come, it will have to send a messenger to deliver the letter half a month in advance, but this time, the messenger arrived to deliver the letter after the mission was halfway through, what is the reason for this?

All in all, it's a very weird thing.

The old leader looked at Siqin's changing face and asked, "Siqin, do you feel ...... about this?"

"Not bad. Siqin's face was solemn, and she nodded, "This matter is very weird, we have to deal with it carefully." What should be done on the scene has to be done, and at the same time, secretly send people to the soul capital to inquire to see if this mission is really sent by the imperial court. ”

The old leader nodded, his old face full of worry.

…………

In the vast field, a Houyi tribesman was flying fast close to the ground, and he was ordered by the queen to rush to Soul Capital to inquire about the visit.

The wilderness is tens of thousands of miles away from the soul capital, and even if he takes the big road, it will take three days to make a round trip without crossing those natural dangers, but Her Majesty the Queen has asked him not to take the big road, in case he is discovered, and he must return within a day.

The matter was so urgent that the Houyi realized that it would not be possible to do what the queen asked under normal circumstances, so he stopped and took out a pill from his bosom.

This elixir is the elixir prescription left by Xiao Zhang's Houyi clan: Mad Soul Pill.

After taking the Mad Soul Pill, he could stimulate his potential infinitely, and within a moment, he could quickly raise his cultivation to several times or even dozens of times, so that he could complete Her Majesty's task in one day.

However, the side effects of the Mad Soul Pill are extremely great, ranging from damaging the meridians to being completely wasted. But this Houyi tribesman was extremely loyal, and he took the pill without hesitation.
