Yongye laughed softly: "Cao Han, Cao family...... This time, you will surely die. ”

"What kind of move is this?" Although Ah Feng was excited, he still didn't believe her words, "You don't want to take advantage of this matter of the Shengyu Clan, do you?" Although the woman meant that it was someone in the palace who instructed her, she didn't know who it was, if you just said that Cao Han did it, maybe she would bite her back......"

"Am I going to be so stupid? Let her bite me? Eternal Night asked rhetorically, "Don't worry, she's not that smart, and she wouldn't have thought we'd blame her for this......"

Feng: "I don't think so—"

"I don't think so—"

Chu Zhaoying's face instantly became a little ugly because of the words of the person in front of her, but she had to hide it, and forcibly suppressed the anger that surged up in her heart and said, "Tianqi's envoy...... What do you mean? ”

At the end of his words, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Yongjun on the side.

Yongjun received his eyes, immediately understood, and immediately said directly: "Even if your Tianqi Princess Zhenli was still dignified and polite when she met my Majesty Shen Chu, why did you speak so wantonly and recklessly when you were a little envoy?!" ”

Yongjun was originally a military general, and he was born with a mighty appearance with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and when he frowned tightly, it made ordinary people feel a little frightened when he saw it.

But the one opposite him is not an ordinary person - Chu Yang is Ning Zhongji's protégé, and while he has seen a lot of things, he has also seen many big people and big people, and this time he is the official messenger who came to Shen Chu with Tianqi's talisman, so naturally he can't fall behind in Shen Chu at any time no matter what.

"Princess Zhenli? Her Royal Highness the princess has been raised very strictly since she was a child, and she is naturally polite. Chu Yang smiled lightly, still looking respectful and cautious, but his words still did not have the slightest sense of restraint, "Before the minister set off, His Majesty had instructed his subordinates - 'Zhenli's temperament is weak and easy to be emotional', and when she faced such a fierce general as General Shangyong, Her Royal Highness was inevitably in awe." ”

"You!"

Yongjun frowned, and wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Chu Zhaoxi: "Shen Chu and Tianqi just concluded a marriage again, and Tianqi sent an envoy, which I really didn't expect - since you are Tianqi's envoy, why are you here to Shen Chu?" ”

"On the orders of His Majesty, I am here to welcome His Royal Highness Zhenli back, and I am here to send some things back to Shen Chu...... Chu Yang still smiled, turned sideways to the people behind him, and then turned his head to look at Chu Zhaoxi on the high position, and said gently, "Shen Chu Guojun knows, what is this?" ”

Chu Zhaoxi didn't know him

What does it mean, but subconsciously feels that the "thing" in his mouth is not a good thing: "What is the messenger referring to?" ”

"This is a special explanation from His Majesty Tianqi, and we must give you a big gift." The smile on Chu Yang's face remained unchanged, and he took the brocade box presented by the hands of the person behind him, and said while gently opening it, "For this great gift, Your Majesty has put a lot of thought into it......

"It's a ...... A cherished 'national gift'. ”

Ignoring his very ambiguous words, when he saw the "thing" in the brocade box clearly, Yongjun's expression changed instantly, which was very exciting.

Chu Zhaoxi frowned, and said angrily, "What do you mean by this?!" ”

Chu Yang smiled silently, and no longer moved, just looked at him quietly, quite sympathetic.

In fact, it's really not that Chu Zhaoxi is irritable, but the things in the brocade box in Chu Yang's hand are really too outrageous - the brocade box is extremely exquisite, but the appearance is like a pile of gold and jade, how can it be "cheesy".

According to Chu Yang, this is a gift from Luo Xi's dignitaries to Chu Zhaoxi, which is a gift from the monarch to the monarch, and it is a national gift.

But just looking at the extremely cheesy appearance of this brocade box, Chu Zhaoxi was angry, and the "thing" contained there, a bloody human head, made Chu Zhaoxi even more creepy.

The man's eyes were still open, and he still had the look of disbelief on his face at the last moment before he died.

At a glance, you can see how he was killed.

Kill with a single sword. It is even very likely that the head was cut off with a knife.

And more importantly, Chu Zhaoxi and Yongjun both knew this person, or rather, the owner of this head before his death.

"This ...... This man is one of my Shenchu people! Chu Zhaoxi was so angry that his whole body trembled, his ten fingers clenched tightly into fists, and he squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth with hatred, "Tianqi Guojun's move - is it to declare war on us Shen Chu?!" ”

Yongjun's brow furrowed even deeper, and he shook his head irritably, continuing to remain silent.

But Chu Yang was not in a hurry at all, smiled gently, and said gently: "Shen Chu Guojun is still a little restless...... Our Majesty has said - 'As long as Tianqi and Shen Chu have an in-law relationship for one day, Tianqi will not go to war with Shen Chu for one day'. ”

"You guys say it nicely-" Chu Zhaoxi laughed angrily, and stood up directly, pointing to the brocade box he was holding in his hand, and said angrily, "This human head...... This is someone from my Shenchu family...... What do you mean?! ”

"Yes, this is a member of the Shen Chu family, and the force he belongs to is ......" Chu Yang said this, deliberately lengthening his voice and pausing for a moment

, his eyes pretended to glance at Yongjun on the side casually, and then said softly, "The master behind the force to which this person belongs is Empress Cao of Shen Chu." ”

Yongjun narrowed his eyes, as if he sensed something, forced himself to hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to be silent.

Chu Yang, who had been looking at him, naturally didn't miss his small action, and even smiled at him lightly, as if he was sending him some kind of message.

"Queen?" Chu Zhaoxi heard Chu Yang mention his queen Cao Han, and his heart was immediately full of doubts, "This person has indeed always belonged to the Cao family's supporters...... Now that the Cao family is in decline, there is only one queen left...... Just, so what? What are you trying to express? ”

Shen Chu is completely different from Tianqi - in Tianqi, although it is expressly forbidden for royal women to inherit the throne, it allows women to be officials and gives women the opportunity to enter the court and take power; In Shenchu, although women are not forbidden to show their heads, they still uphold the concept of "women cannot be political" as thousands of years ago, even if the queen is the mother of the country, she must not speak about the government, let alone appear in all official court occasions with the emperor.

This is also the reason why Cao Han did not follow Chu Zhaoxi to meet Chu Yang, the Tianqi envoy, because this belongs to the "outside", belongs to the national government, and it is not something she can interfere in.

Therefore, Chu Zhaoxi didn't understand why Chu Yang would hold out such a person's head, and he suddenly mentioned Cao Han - in his heart, there were some conjectures and bad thoughts.

"The ministers came down in a hurry, originally just to bring His Royal Highness Zhenli back to Tianqi safely. But on the way, he suddenly received this order from His Majesty, and naturally he did his best to handle it...... "Chu Yang said sincerely, but in Chu Zhaoxi's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue, "Your Majesty learned what happened on the night of the wedding between Prince Shen Chu and Lord Li Ran, because the matter involved His Royal Highness Zhen Li, Tian Qi naturally would not sit idly by and watch—'How to deal with that person is naturally a decision made by Shen Chu Guojun, but my Tianqi treasure has been injured, and it is absolutely impossible to write it off'. ”

Chu Zhaoxi's brows were almost wrinkled into the shape of "Sichuan", and he was silent.

If he thinks that Luo Xizheng and Luo Liyao are just half-brothers and sisters with weak family affection, then this sentence "Tianqi's treasure" simply shocked him from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, he understood Chu Yang's meaning now - because Luo Liyao was injured at the wedding banquet before, Luo Xizheng came to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, and directly asked Chu Yang to kill this person and send it......

Although this matter was Shen Chu's fault and failed to protect Luo Liyao, a guest, Luo Xizheng was so bold and reckless in Shenchu's territory to kill the people of his Shen Chu family, and he also cut off his head and sent it to him, this, doesn't this make it clear that he wants to lose face as a monarch directly in front of everyone?!

Chu Zhaoxi

He took a deep breath and slowed down for a while before he said to the people beside him: "Go and invite Princess Zhenli here." ”

"Your Majesty, don't bother like this—"

A soft woman's voice suddenly sounded in the main hall, startling the surrounding ministers to cast surprised eyes - this is the place where Emperor Shenchu and his courtiers discuss state affairs, and for many years, no woman has ever been able to walk into this hall!

In an environment with extremely strict etiquette like Shen Chu, "women can't be political" has already decided this.

But at this time, Yongye was wearing a white dress, holding a brocade bag that had turned yellow because of age in one hand, and Luo Liyao's hand in the other, and slowly entered the hall.

Chu Yang smiled slightly and saluted Luo Liyao dignifiedly.

Everyone including Yongjun was so surprised that they were a little speechless - as orthodox Shenchu people, they never thought that they would meet a woman on such a "serious and formal" occasion in their lifetime, and it was two.

It's just that they want to think about it, Yongye doesn't have the slightest intention of "interfering in politics", so they only let go of the hand holding Luo Liyao, holding the brocade bag, and bowed down to Chu Zhaoxiying: "The concubine knows that the Shangzheng Palace is not allowed to break in, but the concubine has no choice but to tell the public about the snake tide on the night of the wedding banquet and the death of the Empress Yuan that year!" ”

"Yongjun!" Chu Zhaoxi was furious, turned his head and said to Yongjun, "Look at the people raised by your Yong family!" How can you be so rude and frivolous - what kind of wedding banquet snake tide, and the death of Empress Yuan, you ......"

Yongjun was silent, and only when he mentioned the words "Yongjia" and "Empress Yuan" did he have some reactions.

"Your Majesty-" Yongjun Zhengse, kneeling down on one knee and saying, "Concubine Yonggui suddenly went to the palace this time, and she also knew that she was guilty, presumably there was a reason for it, please listen to it." ”

The Yong family was already extremely powerful in the Shenchu court, and now even if the emperor was furious, when Yongjun spoke, there were still some people who followed Yongjun's actions and knelt down to second.

"You ......"

"Your Majesty, please listen to me." As if he had finally made up his mind, Luo Liyao opened his mouth with a complicated expression behind Yongye, "I, Tianqi, have no intention of participating in Shen Chu's national affairs, but only for the sake of the overall relationship between Tian Qi and Shen Chu, as far as the matter of the wedding banquet snake tide is concerned...... I hope Your Majesty will give a clear answer-"
