As soon as they heard that the Ming Emperor had arrived, everyone immediately held their breath and knelt down to wait. The person who read the list thought, "Amitabha, now it's my turn to take a break, and he immediately shut up."

When Emperor Ming sat down and said "flat", when the prince stood up again, he suddenly found that there was already a person sitting in the seat next to Zhu Zhiling, it was Princess Yinquan who had been kidnapped by Luoying Lake! And Princess Silverspring looked ahead as if she hadn't seen them at all.

The mission was almost jaw-dropping. How so? Why did Princess Silver Spring suddenly appear here?

The prince settled down, and felt that it didn't seem to be good, so he suddenly asked, "Hey, aunt, why are you here?" "It's good that I'm here as an envoy, not Shiro's mother, so I have to finish the business first.

And the business starts with memorizing the lines.

So the prince began to open his mouth to speak according to the words he had memorized before: "The Emperor of Cangwu Kingdom respectfully submits a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of Bihai Kingdom......" Balabala recited it for a full quarter of an hour. listened to everyone drowsy, only Zhu Zhijie listened to it with relish, and looked at the prince intently.

After reciting, Emperor Ming said a few more words of greeting, "Your father is in good health" and so on. Then he turned to Zhu Zhiling and said, "Today's ceremony will be presided over by you on my behalf." ”

Zhu Zhiling replied yes, then stood up, looked around the hall, and said in a loud voice: "Cangwu Country and Bihai Country have been friends for generations, and they send missions to each other once every five years, without interruption. I think that my Bihai Kingdom was ordered by the emperor twenty-four years ago to marry Princess Yinquan to Cangwu Kingdom, which is really for the friendship between the two countries. I heard that Princess Yinquan was also traveling with the mission this time, and I dared to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, why was Princess Yinquan not in the mission? ”

When the prince heard this, he was stunned. Why not in the Mission? Even though I was sitting next to you, you asked me why I wasn't in the mission? This is obviously accountability, asking the princess to be inappropriately responsible! To be honest, if Princess Yinquan wasn't here, she might be able to tell a little lie and perfunctory. But Princess Yinquan sat on it, and as long as there was a word wrong in what she said, she could immediately make herself indecent, and how to answer it. At that moment, he had no choice but to answer the question and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness Princess Yinquan to arrive at Taiye City one step ahead of the mission. Seeing that everything is fine with His Highness, I will be relieved. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiling did not relent, and asked again word by word: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, why Princess Yinquan is not in your mission." The words were domineering, and he didn't take the prince Li Chongyan's laughter seriously.

Rao is Li Chongyan has been used to such a scene since he was a child, and he was also forced to be very embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while. Who would have thought that he would meet Princess Silver Spring at this moment? The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became very awkward, and the crowd began to whisper, and some people laughed a few times, faintly sarcastic.

Su Xiaochen couldn't laugh at it, he secretly thought that this wave of offensive was still coming, but he didn't expect to ask in front of Princess Yinquan. In this matter, what happened to Princess Yinquan and how she returned safely, it is obvious that Bihai Kingdom is much clearer than the Cangwu Mission, and the prince has now fallen into complete passivity.

Su Xiaochen raised his head and looked at Princess Yinquan again, his eyes were empty and expressionless, and he was really like the amiable master and wife who had treated him in the Taishi Mansion that night.

He sank his heart, and stood up from the crowd and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Ming, Su Xiaochen, a scholar of the Cangwu Kingdom, because Her Royal Highness Princess Yinquan happened to be next to the prince on the day of the incident, please Rong Chen play on your behalf." ”

Zhu Zhiling was just about to shout out the sentence "Which round will you get a scholar...... but suddenly remembered what had just happened, and swallowed it again.

Emperor Ming looked at his face and said, "You can tell me about it." ”

Su Xiaochen said again: "That day, the mission just entered Binzhou, and I heard that there is a charming scenery of Luoying Lake nearby, and Her Royal Highness Princess Yinquan also said that she had traveled with His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and I was full of praise, so I will go to visit together." Her Royal Highness the princess was overwhelmed by her feet, and left a few steps, just then a group of Imuran gangsters suddenly attacked from all sides, and the prince was almost hit by an arrow, and when he turned back, Princess Yinquan had been kidnapped by the gangsters. There were ten guards guarding Her Royal Highness the Princess, and they were all martyred and could not resist. It's all because the Imurans are ferocious and unusual, and they are ambushed in the shadows. We are all members of the mission, not a military expedition, and it is a fluke that we can save our lives. Moreover, Her Royal Highness the princess was robbed in Binzhou, and we have neither foreign aid nor familiar with the terrain, so we can't pursue it. ”

The implication is that we don't look down on the princess when we go out to play, but we are the Wenchens, where can we resist the Imurans. And the enemy is dark and I am clear, how to prevent it? Besides, it is still an incident in the country of Bihai, and this is left to our country to notify the surrounding states and counties to encircle and suppress together, who are we looking for in your territory.

When everyone heard this, they felt that there seemed to be some truth, and no envoy could stop the Imurans. What's more, he was still ambushed. Emperor Ming listened, nodded thoughtfully, and motioned for him to continue.

Zhu Zhiling couldn't hold it anymore, turned his head to Su Xiaochen and said sharply: "Then how do you conclude that it is from Imuran?" ”

"At that time, the arrowhead had the pattern of the Golden Blade King's blade clan."

Mo Daqiu was stunned, he didn't expect Su Xiaochen to suddenly come at him, but he remembered that he was only allowed to sit and not to speak, so he had to close his mouth and look at Zhu Zhiling with fluttering eyes.

Zhu Zhiling smiled and said, "You are careful, that's right, this is indeed the work of Imuran's gangsters." ”

The prince suddenly said, "It's the Imurans sitting over there, right?" If they did it, why don't you ask them and ask us instead? ”

Zhu Zhiling smiled again: "The Imuram who is sitting not only did not kidnap the princess, but he was also a meritorious person who rescued the princess. ”

Mo Daqiu is confused again, when did I save the princess again? But he still couldn't speak, so he looked at Zhu Zhiling inexplicably.

"I don't understand this, aren't they the Blade Clan's markings on their arms? Exactly the same as the one on the arrow. The prince said.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know much about the situation in the Imuran Kingdom. Then let me answer your highness's questions. "Zhu Zhiling scolded secretly in her heart, straw bag, I will teach you a lesson today.

"Imuran's vitality was greatly injured after the Battle of Poison Jin, and the lord of the kingdom, Sully, died of illness soon after, leaving the throne vacant, and the Blade Clan, the Blood Clan, and the Eagle Clan could not hold each other. The great witch god Wen Lan replaced the regent with three kings and one possession. That is, the affairs of the state affairs on weekdays are decided by the patriarchs of the three clans, but all major events such as sending troops to fight are determined by Wen Lan after the auspiciousness is determined by the art of divination. In the past 20 years, the blade clan has been close to my blue sea, and there is more trade, so in recent years, the previous suspicions have been released. And whenever the two Blood Eagle clans want to go south to make trouble and disturb the situation, it is also the Blade Clan that mediates and keeps the peace. This kidnapping was carried out by the Eagle Clan, and after our country learned of the urgent report sent by His Royal Highness, we found the leader of the Blade Clan in the Blue Sea Country to negotiate with the Eagle Clan on our behalf. In the end, Princess Yinquan was redeemed with a ransom of 30,000 taels of gold, prince, do you say you should thank them? ”

When Mo Daqiu heard this, he cooperated and made a smug expression. When the prince saw it, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

"As for the blade clan pattern that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, it is because only the blade clan will be forged in the country of Imulan, no matter who goes to the blade clan's merchant hall to buy some weapons, there will be this pattern on it, but just because someone used their weapons to commit a crime, the account is attributed to their blade clan, right?"

Su Xiaochen felt very puzzled.

Zhu Zhiling's words were impeccable. Wouldn't it be nice to politely explain it to everyone at the beginning? Let's just say that the princess has been rescued, there is a false alarm, don't worry. Isn't that the end of it? People are sitting on it, why are they still asking us fiercely?

The prince said with a smile: "Yes, yes, fortunately, now the princess has returned safely, which is really lucky." ”

Zhu Zhiling's face suddenly sank, and said: "Although this kidnapping was spared, we have to learn some lessons." Speaking of which, people were lost in your country's mission, and although I have already paid the ransom of 30,000 taels of gold, I have paid it in advance, but it should be paid by you in the end, right? You don't have to give it to me, just give it to him. After speaking, he pointed to Mo Daqiu below.

Mo Daqiu thought to himself, it turned out that I was asked to earn 30,000 taels of gold like this, and then he put on a thank-you face to the prince very cooperatively.

The prince's heart ached, but thinking that if money could solve the problem, I agreed at this moment, and my father probably wouldn't blame him too much. Busy said: "Yes, yes, this ransom is naturally my cangwu country." ”

Zhu Zhiling said again: "I heard that Master Muyun unfortunately passed away, it stands to reason that married people should not return to the door, but this time the failure to protect the princess really makes His Majesty Emperor Ming feel at ease, if Princess Yinquan is sent back to Cangwu Kingdom, wouldn't it make His Majesty Emperor Ming worry every day and stay awake at night?" Therefore, please allow Princess Yinquan to stay in Bihai Country to live in the Blue Sea Kingdom. ”

Su Xiaochen finally realized that he had gone around in such a big circle, just to justifiably leave Princess Yinquan in the Bihai Kingdom, but why did he have to leave the Cangwu Kingdom? Could it be that Princess Yinquan encountered any disadvantages in the Cangwu Parliament? And it's not easy for the prince to call the shots in this matter.

Sure enough, the crown prince looked embarrassed and said, "This matter is very serious, and it needs to be judged by my father." When Zhu Zhiling heard this, he pressed step by step: "I heard that you have the most precious pigeon harrier, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to record what His Royal Highness said today and send it back to the Wanhua Imperial Capital, and I will wait for the good news." ”

In fact, Princess Yinquan arrived in the Bihai Kingdom, and it was impossible to ask the Bihai Country to hand over people. It's just that since the two countries are on good terms, they still have to do enough work on face, and they don't lose etiquette. What's more, Zhu Zhiling knew that this condition was originally a matter of discussion with Emperor Wen, and there was no suspense. With the letter from the pigeon harrier to bring over, Emperor Wen can also use it to block the mouths of the ministers and Li Taijun. Although the 30,000 taels of gold are temporarily attached, they are only a drop in the bucket, and they will not care.

Bihai people are Bihai people, and they will not let go if they can cut out more gold.

The most important thing to say was basically finished, and the prince memorized a large paragraph of words according to the process, which took half an hour. After that, everyone felt that it was almost time to bow and leave, but the prince suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty Emperor Ming, I am adhering to my father's order to make friends with the two countries this time, and this love will come forever." In order to bring the friendship between the two countries to a higher level, I have a request, and I hope that the Ming Emperor will grant it. ”
