251 Envoy of the Great Liang
It's not unreasonable for him to say this, Jade Feilong is a smart person, after this assassination of Qu Wurong misses, he won't come again, and it will probably be even more difficult to catch his handle.
Qu Wurong was not worried about this problem, "He didn't show his feet, so we forced him to show it." ”
"There's no rush in this matter, let's talk about it later." Xiao Nansheng didn't plan to continue discussing this topic, "You better take care of the injury on your arm first, I have already mentioned it on Yu Ruyi's side, she should advise her brother not to attack you again." ”
Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong didn't ask him what he said to Yu Ruyi, but just nodded to indicate that he knew, "I hope things can really develop according to our plan." ”
"Yes, definitely!" Xiao Nansheng gently patted her hand under the quilt, "By the way, there is one more thing I think I should sue you." ”
"What's the matter?" Qu Wurong looked at him strangely.
Xiao Nansheng didn't answer her immediately, but looked at her with a meaningful look for a moment before he slowly spoke: "The war between Daliang and Xisai is over, and the Xisai Kingdom submitted a surrender to the defenders of Daliang half a month ago, and the envoys sent by Emperor Daliang to accept their surrender should arrive in a few days." ”
I didn't expect it to be this matter, Qu Wurong was stunned for a while, blinked and asked puzzledly, "What does this matter have to do with me?" Why are you suing me about this? ”
"If it weren't for the war between Daliang and Xisai, you wouldn't have come to my Bailiao to make peace, wouldn't you?" Speaking of what he did at the beginning, Xiao Nansheng showed a slightly surprised look on his face, "I think you should care about the outcome of this war, so I came to sue you." ”
"Oh." After listening to his reason, Qu Wurong replied without a compliment, with the army of the Bailiao State as an alliance, it was a matter of time before the Xisai Kingdom surrendered to Daliang, and she had already expected this.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be in high spirits, Xiao Nansheng was a little unsure whether to continue to finish the following words, but after hesitating for a while, he still continued: "In the second half of this war, Bailiao also made some efforts, and when the envoys of the three countries will sit together to discuss the matters after the surrender, and the envoys of Daliang will come to Bailiao first, so I want to ask if you want to meet them?" ”
Hearing him ask, Qu Wurong couldn't help but be stunned, but she quickly understood Xiao Nansheng's intention of asking her, "Who is the envoy sent by Da Liang?" Could it be that the people she knows are not successful?
"It is said to be An Lehou."
An Lehou? Hearing this name, Qu Wurong didn't know what to say for a while, she knew very well that although An Lehou had the title of a marquis, he never participated in the affairs of the court, at most, he just ran errands for Shen Wu'an when it was inconvenient for him to come forward; But this time, An Lehou traveled thousands of miles to Bailiao, saying that he was here to accept the surrender of the Xisai Kingdom, but even Xiao Nansheng could see the real intention, how could Qu Wurong not think of it?
Thinking of this, Qu Wurong couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, when she left Daliang, it was to prevent Shen Wu'an from continuing to worry about her, so she endured her heartache and told him the truth, and said so many hurtful things, I thought that Shen Wu'an would hate her and resent her, but I didn't expect that he still remembered her, even if he sent envoys to discuss business, he didn't forget to let him deliberately go to Bailiao Country to visit him, how can she repay this look now?
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Xiao Nansheng didn't bother her silently, looking out the window and not knowing what she was thinking, until she suddenly remembered her voice in her ears, and then slowly turned her head.
"Then please ask the lord of the country to help me arrange it after the envoy arrives in Bailiao." Qu Wurong said.
Xiao Nansheng nodded, he had already guessed that this would be the result before deciding to tell her about this matter, "Okay, I will let someone arrange it." After speaking, he stood up and shook his clothes, "Then you should take care of your injuries, otherwise when the time comes, let the envoys of Daliang see that you are injured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain!" ”
Hearing his words, Qu Wurong turned his head and glanced at his arm, pouted, "Don't worry, even if this injury really doesn't heal by then, I won't say that it was because of you." ”
Xiao Nansheng was so choked by her that he couldn't speak, flexed his finger and knocked her forehead, then flicked his sleeves and strode towards the outside of the dormitory.
Covering his sore forehead, Qu Wurong thought to himself: This man really likes to move his hands and feet more and more!
Three days later, the envoy group of Daliang arrived in Bailiao Kingdom, Xiao Nansheng led the ministers to hold a grand welcoming ceremony, and then settled all the envoys, and An Lehou took the initiative to find Xiao Nansheng.
Before he could speak, Xiao Nansheng took the initiative to speak: "I know what Hou Ye is here for today, but I need to make arrangements, and when the arrangements are made, I will go and inform Hou Ye, okay?" ”
Hearing him say this, An Lehou naturally had no objections, and arched his hand: "Then there is the Lord of the Country!" ”
Because of the preparations, the meeting between the two was arranged by Xiao Nansheng on the second day, and after receiving the return of the little eunuch, Qu Wurong went straight to Xiao Nansheng's Qingfeng Hall specially used to entertain foreign envoys without even changing his clothes.
An Lehou arrived early, and was sitting in the hall waiting, when he saw her enter the door, he quickly stood up, and the previous title to her turned around on the tip of his tongue, no matter which one of them was not tried in this case, he finally had to choose the same title as his wife, "Sister is good lately?" ”
"It's good." Qu Wurong motioned for him to sit down, and he also sat down opposite him, "What about you?" ”
"We're all okay too." An Lehou said, took a sip of the cup in front of him, and then frowned uncomfortably, "What is this?" "It's so bad!
Seeing this, Qu Wurong smiled and handed him a handkerchief, and explained to him by the way: "This is the unique milk wine of Bailiao Country, you must not be used to drinking it when you first came here, I have already asked people to prepare tea, and it will be delivered soon." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Huang Li's crisp inquiry: "Madam, the tea is ready, can the slave and maid come in?" ”
"Come in."
As the door was pushed open, Huang Li walked in and put an ancient wood-colored tray between the two, on which was placed a set of white porcelain tea sets that Qu Wurong was accustomed to, "Madame and Master Hou use it slowly, and the slave and maid go down first." ”
There were two of them left in the hall again, and Qu Wurong asked seemingly casually while lifting the teapot on the tray to pour tea for the two of them: "You have never interfered in the affairs of the court, this time he asked you to come to this troubled water, is it for me?" ”
She would guess Shen Wu'an's thoughts, and An Lehou was not surprised at all, "That's right, the emperor really wanted me to visit my sister instead of him, so he sent me here." ”
"Why is he doing this?" Although he had already guessed that this was the case, after hearing the affirmative answer from his mouth, Qu Wurong couldn't help but sigh, "The fate of the two of us is over, and he is just worrying about himself by holding on like this." ”
"The emperor just can't rest assured that his sister is gone." Hearing her say this, An Lehou didn't know how to answer, but thinking of Shen Wuan's entrustment to him before leaving, he could only say stubbornly.
Qu Wurong smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said after a while: "Then please tell him when you go back, just say that I am doing well here, let him rest assured." ”
It's not that she is ruthless, it's just that the word "love" hurts too much after all, if Shen Wu'an insists on holding on to it, the result will only be deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself, in this case, she will have no way to continue to stay in Bailiao with peace of mind, and I am afraid that it will cause irreconcilable contradictions between the two countries.
Hearing her say this, An Lehou knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be useless, so he stopped continuing the topic: "By the way, before I left, I specially asked me to bring some things for my sister, and when I went back, I would have someone send them to my sister." ”
"You two have a heart." He no longer continued to talk about Shen Wu'an, which also made Qu Wurong's depressed mood rise a lot, and he was no longer as heavy as just now, "By the way, how is he leaving?" It's supposed to be a little older, right? ”
Hearing him ask about Xiao Shen Li, An Lehou showed a smile on his face, "The little prince is very good, and he has grown up a lot, and the missing pearl will enter the palace every other day to visit him, and several girls are also taking care of him with all their hearts, so my sister doesn't have to worry." ”
"Then I'm relieved." Qu Wurong nodded, having said that, a mother can't stay by her child's side, even if she knows that he is well taken care of, how can she really put her mind at ease?
The two talked for nearly an hour before An Lehou got up to say goodbye.
After he left, Qu Wurong sat alone in the Qingfeng Hall for a while, and then returned to Yuxin Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a little palace maid greet him, "Madam, are you back?" Lady Li and Lady Wu have been waiting for you for a while. ”
"Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu are here?" Qu Wurong asked this, but he already understood the purpose of these two people coming to him, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace and walk towards the hall.
Seeing her enter the door, the two women who were sitting in the hall chatting hurriedly stood up, and Mrs. Li, who was closer to the temple door, took the initiative to say hello: "Sister is back?" ”
"Well, there are some things to deal with, so the two sisters have been waiting for a long time." Qu Wurong said as he motioned for the two of them to sit down, "I don't know what the two sisters came to me for today?" ”
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu glanced at each other, and it was still Mrs. Li who spoke, "Since my sister asked, then the two of us won't go around in circles with you, here's the thing......" So he briefly said the intention of the two of them, which was basically the same as Huang Ying's guess a few days ago.
Qu Wurong had already been mentally prepared for this, so he didn't show too much surprise after they finished speaking, "The two sisters came to me today to discuss this matter, and they also value me, but I can't make a decision on this matter right away, I hope the two sisters can give me a few days to think about it, and then give the two sisters a clear answer after I think about it, I don't know what the two sisters think?" ”
It was reasonable for her to say this, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu exchanged glances, and both of them agreed to her request, "Okay, then we'll wait for my sister's reply!" ”
