The next day, early in the morning—

Lin Yaoyue changed into a plain palace skirt and stepped on the carriage to the palace.

It is said that in addition to himself, Emperor Murong Ping also ordered more than a dozen noble ladies to attend the palace banquet that summoned the envoys of the Chiyan Kingdom.

Before leaving, Yi'er was still in her own room constantly studying the parchment scroll that Xiu Zhe gave her before he died, hoping to find a solution to the flower Gu on her body as soon as possible. But now, Lin Yaoyue herself has a faint feeling that even if Yi'er can find a way to solve the flower Gu on her body today, it may be too late at all.

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of Danfeng Gate, and Lin Yaoyue respectfully followed her father Lin Chaoyang towards the Xuanzheng Hall in front.

With the loud voice of the eunuchs in the palace, Lin Yaoyue and the other nobles entered the Xuanzheng Hall in turn and sat down.

When they sat down according to the arrangement, there were only four noble girls from these dozen families who came today, and they knew each other well. They are Ouyang Zhi, the second daughter of Ouyang Zhengde, the secretary of the ministry, Xu Qingqing, the lord of Xuanyi County of the Xu family, and Wang Yuan, the second daughter of the salt and iron envoy he just befriended, and Feng Xi, the youngest daughter who will be the supervisor of the prison.

Lin Yaoyue carefully observed the nobles who received the holy decree to attend the palace banquet, but there was no very obvious direction, but Xu Qingqing had not heard of activities in the capital for a long time. Lin Yaoyue thought about it and raised her eyebrows. Thinking about it, Mrs. Xu finally made a ruthless decision and expelled Xu Qingqing from the Xu family. After all, Xu Qingqing's collusion with Concubine Pei Xian to poison her own aunt with dansha is not just an ordinary petty fight. It's about betraying the family, the big thing of the clan, not just two words 'ambition', which can be ignored.

Just as Lin Yaoyue was thinking, she saw the emperor Murong Ping above appear on the top of the main hall wearing a bright yellow Nine Dragons Tengyun brocade robe.

And according to the etiquette, in the voice of the former eunuch Yan Gonggong, the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom slowly walked up to the Xuanzheng Palace.

Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but look at it, and saw that the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom was a young man with a graceful demeanor. He did not have the roughness of the northern Hu people as Lin Yaoyue imagined, but his eyebrows were beautiful. The handsome face also showed a sickly paleness, but it did not reveal a noble and elegant temperament.

I saw him respectfully and respectfully saluting to the emperor Murong in the palace, "In Xia Tuoba Hao, the sixth prince of the Chiyan Kingdom, on the order of my emperor, I have come to Dawan to discuss the friendship between the two countries forever. ”

The envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom named Tuoba Hao did not look like the Chiyan Kingdom was defeated and sued for peace at all, but was neither humble nor arrogant, and said to the emperor Murong Ping in the palace politely.

Hearing this, Emperor Murong Ping smiled and said loudly, "Sit."

I saw that under the guidance of the palace maid on the side, Tuoba Hao sat in the first place on the left hand side of His Royal Highness, but he happened to be opposite his father. And as soon as Tuoba Hao sat down, he saw his handsome eyebrows looking at him, and there was a friendly smile on the corner of his lips.

Seeing this, the uneasiness in Lin Yaoyue's heart became more and more obvious.

In a few moments, the sound of silk and bamboo music and dance sounded, and there was a peaceful image on the Xuanzheng Palace.

Lin Yaoyue got up for a moment, wanting to go to the outside of the hall for a while. But as soon as she walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, a footstep followed behind her.

"Miss Lin. ”

Lin Yaoyue was slightly stunned, and the exotic style robe looked more and more luxurious and mysterious on the body of this Red Yan envoy. Although his face was still a little pale and sickly. But Lin Yaoyue felt that the young emperor Tuoba Lian of the Chiyan Kingdom would not send a sick man to make them great.

"Is there something wrong with the envoy?"

Hearing this, he saw that the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom, who was tall and handsome, looked at Lin Yaoyue and evoked a friendly smile, "The eldest daughter of the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty has a beautiful appearance and an extraordinary temperament. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. ”

Lin Yaoyue looked at the young envoy in front of him who looked a little sickly and smiled, thinking that even today, his face was covered with a veil, and he was wary that he would be recognized by the Jizhou disaster victims who were still gathered outside the capital in small numbers on the road. And how could his new peacemaker from the Chiyan Kingdom see his appearance clearly, and now his words are a bit of a weasel's New Year's greeting to the chicken.

"The envoy is really a fool. However, His Majesty the Emperor of your country really does not like things and does not feel sorry for himself. If the little girl is not mistaken, your country's peace envoy decided to send me Dawan at the moment of your country's defeat. ”

Lin Yaoyue's words were very mean, and she almost didn't say that the emperor of the Chiyan Kingdom planned to surrender without a fight and give them over to the country. Hearing this, this somewhat sick young man just smiled and said, "Miss Lin's attitude towards this envoy is very hostile, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of marrying me Chiyan forever. Could it be that Miss Lin still hopes that General Lin will always guard the border and guard the northern border of your Dawan?"

Murder and heart-wrenching, this young envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom is really not inferior to Lin Yaoyue's sharp teeth.

Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at him carefully, and then asked, "How long does the envoy want to stay in my Dawan?"

Hearing this, the young envoy in front of Lin Yaoyue smiled, "This envoy has only been in your country for less than a day, and Miss Lin wants to drive the envoy away? ”

Looking at the smile between the lips of the handsome young man with a somewhat pale and sickly face in front of him, Lin Yaoyue also replied with a light smile, "The good wish to look forward to the friendly coexistence of the two countries is based on the fact that your country sincerely wants to coexist peacefully with my Dawan. Instead of crossing the border between the two countries with a conspiracy like now, and following my father into my Dawan land. ”

At this point, the two people standing not far from the Xuanzheng Hall were very clear in their hearts. When the Chiyan Kingdom was defeated, he did not inform Lin Chaoyang, the commander of Dawan Zhenbei, that he would send envoys to Beijing in the near future. Rather, the two sides retreated to their respective borders, relying on each other's strong national and military strength, tacitly assuming that the invasion had not happened. But just when Lin Yaoyue's father, Generalissimo Lin Chaoyang of Zhenbei, had just returned to the dynasty with his army, the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom for peace followed suit. In the eyes of others, this is not like the victory of Lin Chaoyang, the general of Zhenguo, but the appearance of a brief truce after the soldiers and horses of the two sides secretly reached some kind of deal on the border.

Kelin Chaoyang is the generalissimo of Zhenbei, not an envoy to negotiate peace, and he has not received the edict of Emperor Murong Ping.

The cold wind was blowing, and neither of them was speechless. After a while, Tuoba Hao finally said with a smile, "My emperor really wants to be with your country forever, but it may require Miss Lin to make some sacrifices." ”

Sacrifice? Sacrifice again.
