"Who wants to send an envoy to the country of Qi?" Wu Hou asked again.

There was still a dead silence in the court, and there was no sound.

At this critical juncture, no one really has the courage to stand up, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all some wine bags and rice bags. If the man was still there, he would have stepped forward and been ordered at this time, she thought to herself.

Thinking of him, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, his eyes moved sideways, and he saw the figure on the white jade bridge outside the hall that was stopped by the guards. The already heavy mood became more subtle and complicated.

He's gone, but his baby is still there.

Jing Ge was kept outside the temple and was not allowed to approach, because he did not enter the temple on time, nor did he wear formal robes, which was not in accordance with etiquette.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of your highness going to court." Jing Ge said.

"Master Hou, the master of ceremonies said, please go back and wear court clothes and come back." The guard said, he recognized Jing Ge.

"After going back and changing clothes, I forced others to finish dressing." Jing Ge muttered quietly, quite helpless, he didn't expect that he would be blocked if he didn't wear court clothes.

"For the sake of His Highness being so handsome, you go and report it again. Let's just say that I have something urgent to play. Jing Ge continued.

Empress Wu watched him through the beaded curtain arguing with the guards, looking like he was chatting on the street.

She didn't like Jing Ge very much, and even had some disgust. Not because of his temperament or what he did, but because he was the child of that man and another woman. For years, she couldn't let go.

It's hard to describe this emotion.

He was very much like that man, and he also inherited his mother's insidious cunning. The two extremely contradictory temperaments blend together, but they are not too abrupt.

"Let him in." Empress Wu commanded in a low voice.

The eunuch next to him trotted out, and the Empress Wu also came back to her senses and packed up her emotions, at this time, it was more important to be a major national event.

Before the little eunuch ran out of the hall, a figure had already turned out at the entrance of the main hall, and the phoenix hairpin jade ring collided slightly with the steps, jingling bells.

"The child is willing to carry the letter of the country of the festival to the country of Qi." In the dead silence, she whispered.

When all the officials heard the voice, they all tilted their heads slightly, looking for the person who spoke.

I saw that out of the door of the main hall, a woman was dressed in a phoenix robe and feather robe, with a phoenix hairpin in her head, a long body and a jade body, the shape was like a shock, the face was like a round jade, and she slowly walked into the hall, both majestic and gentle and generous.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

"Princess, please leave the hall." A celebrant stepped forward to stop him, and not everyone could participate in the court meeting at will.

Li Man didn't answer, just glanced at the person who came, and walked straight forward, perhaps because of her momentum, the person was stunned and didn't dare to continue to stop it.

"The child is the eldest princess of Great Qin, and now she is in a time of crisis, so she should share her worries for the country. The reason why the State of Qi raised troops was because the prince and princess were killed in the imperial capital. Although this is Xiliang's conspiracy, if you send others to explain to King Qi, it will be unconvincing. And my status with the royal family who was killed is enough to show my sincerity in Daqin. So there's no better fit than me. She stood in the middle of the temple and spoke aloud.

Empress Wu stood up and stared at Li Man below, and only after a long time did she speak: "Do you know that this trip is difficult? It's not as simple as saying a few words to King Qi. ”

"The child knows." Li Man raised his head and said, she is not stupid, how can the hardships and dangers be unclear.

"Then you, aren't you afraid?" Empress Wu looked at her and asked, she was rarely seen in the palace on weekdays, her biological mother had long since died, and every time they met, she would respectfully salute herself as a child.

Other than that, there is little overlap. She is very low-key, so low-key that people often can't recall such a number one person.

"I'm afraid, but I'm the princess of Great Qin. It is our duty to try to shelter our people so that they can live and work in peace and contentment from the scourge of war. Li Man replied calmly, she had already made up her mind.

Empress Wu's eyes swept the audience, there were hundreds of officials in the hall, including the eldest son of the king, the third prince, the fourth prince, and her own son Li Qi.

But none of them had the courage to stand up, let alone think about those people of Great Qin.

"Okay, who wants to escort the eldest princess there?" Empress Wu asked.

There was still silence in the hall, no one had wanted to be an envoy before, and no one was willing to escort her there. What is the difference between being an envoy and an escort? Isn't it just as dangerous?

"Huh." The Empress Wu laughed angrily, and the people in the audience who bowed their heads not only did not express their position, but also did not even have the slightest shame.

Especially the remaining princes, after seeing Li Man take the initiative to ask to go to the Qi Kingdom, as a man, not only did he not feel ashamed, but even flashed joy, which was really indifferent.

"I would like to escort Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to the Qi Kingdom." Jing Ge, dressed in green clothes, finally walked into the main hall and stood next to Li Man.

"You? This trip is too dangerous, so it's better not to go. Li Man turned around in surprise and saw that it was Jing Ge, and immediately whispered.

He was the only son of the Generalissimo, so how could he be put in danger.

Jing Ge smiled and did not answer.

"Okay, I'll send him to escort him." Li Qi saw that it was Jing Ge who took the initiative to send him to death, and he was so happy for a while that he got carried away, and said loudly at the moment.

"Shut up." Empress Wu scolded coldly, and the disappointment in his heart had reached the extreme. Where does he have the appearance of half a royal family, he is stupid and cruel, not to mention compared to the two standing below. Even compared to the rest of the princes, he was far inferior.

She suddenly realized that she hated the woman so much, that Aiwu and Udi hated his son together. It's just jealousy, jealousy of her incomparable talent, jealousy that she has a firm grip on that person's heart by doing nothing, as if she has everything so much better than her own.

Even the son.

"With the eldest princess Li Yao as the envoy of the state, Feiyang Hou Jingge led the elite escort of three thousand city guards to the Qi country, ready to leave on the same day and retreat from the dynasty." Empress Wu announced that she did not want to stay in this hall for long.

Jing Ge left as soon as the court meeting dispersed, and he didn't look at the officials from beginning to end.

Out of Weiyang Palace, Qianxue, who was waiting, greeted him.

"What's wrong? A sad face. Qianxue asked strangely.

"It's not much, it's just that the limelight is outstanding, and Li Mana Nizi actually rushed ahead of me and said that he was going to envoy to the Qi country, what a loss." Jing Ge said indignantly.

"Oh, Your Highness, you are really..."Qian Xue laughed speechlessly.

"They're already preparing, they will come out soon, and they haven't seen their mother yet, so let's go home quickly." Jing Ge said.

"Madame already knows that you are back, so you don't have to go back, she will come from the house to see you off." Chiyuki grabbed him and said.

Not long after, the gate of Weiyang Palace was opened, and Empress Wu personally led hundreds of officials out of it, and three thousand city guards who were strong and stubborn were also assembled.

"Be careful." Empress Wu took Li Man's hand, and finally gave her a gentle instruction and sent her to a luxuriously decorated carriage.

Jing Ge and Qianxue stood on the side of the street outside the palace gate, and the generals of the escort army approached and dismounted.

"See Hou Ye, please give an order."

"Get up, just line up to escort Her Royal Highness the eldest princess out of the city." Jing Ge said, these three thousand city guards are like clouds, and they are in the imperial capital, so there will be no danger.

"Huh? Zhao Xian's father-in-law is also there? Jing Ge was a little surprised.

"Yes, Empress Wu Niangniang ordered the old slave to go with her to protect Her Highness and the princess." Zhao Xian nodded and said.

"Then the father-in-law will stay next to the princess." Jing Ge said with a smile, Zhao Xian is the most trusted confidant of the Empress Wu, and he is also an unfathomable powerhouse of the King Realm, with his help, this trip will be a lot safer.

"Yes." Zhao Xian retreated.

"Madame is here." Qianxue on the side said softly. "Your Highness, you talk to Madame first, and I'll go and prepare some things."

The imperial capital is thousands of miles away from the Qi State, and it is a long journey, and as a sword attendant who takes care of Jing Ge, she naturally has to prepare something that can be used.
