This year is the first year that the Tianshan Kingdom has paid tribute to the Great Xia Kingdom. The envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom came to the imperial capital of the Great Xia Kingdom with sufficient tribute to meet the emperor, and the emperor had already ordered the relevant ministers to arrange the pavilion for the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom to live.

It is said that on the day the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom arrived in the imperial capital, the emperor received him, and the scene was very grand, which shows that the emperor still attaches great importance to the relationship between the two countries.

In the evening of the same day, the emperor held a banquet in the Guangxian Palace, and invited the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom to the banquet, and the person who hosted the dinner was still the queen.

However, on the grounds that she was too busy, the queen asked the emperor to be gracious and release the jade concubine who had been confined to Zhongqing Palace, and made meritorious contributions to assist herself in organizing a dinner together.

I have to say that the queen is really very good at figuring out the holy will, at this time, the emperor is in a good mood, where will he investigate the previous matter, naturally it is the most important thing to entertain the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom, so he didn't think about it, so he agreed to the queen's request, and in this way, the jade concubine was released from Zhongqing Palace.

That night, Yun Xiao and Xia Rui attended the dinner together.

Yun Xiao looked up, and Concubine Yu sat on the seat closest to the queen, and the other concubines sat under her.

Although Concubine Yu has been grounded for a period of time, with the queen and the Gao family supporting her, her demeanor is still better than that of other concubines. In this way, she is still the most noble one among the concubines.

Yun Xiao couldn't help but secretly say: A woman who has a family to rely on is good!

When the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom came in, Yun Xiao curled the corners of his lips slightly, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The leading envoys, three in all, were followed by retinues, dressed in tight-sleeved suits, with amber eyes, and their hair, though also black, was all disheveled.

Not only that, but the envoy who walked in the front cut all his hair short, leaving only a long braid at the end, which was tied with a headband.

Yun Xiao had long heard Xia Rui say that the customs of the Tianshan Kingdom were very different from ours in the Great Xia Kingdom, but he didn't expect that there was such a big difference between them.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, if someone dares to cut their hair, it is a great unfilial piety, and they will sue the government, but they will go to prison. Moreover, the people of Daxia like to wear wide-sleeved robes, and such narrow-sleeved tight-fitting clothes are very inconvenient for the people of Daxia.

However, although Yun Xiao was surprised in his heart, he would not talk about it like other concubines, even if it was just a few words with Xia Rui, because this would only make him seem lonely.

The envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom stopped in the center of the main hall and made a state salute to the emperor.

The envoy who walked in the front was named Azab, and he said to the emperor:

"Honorable Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, on behalf of our Monarch of the Tianshan Kingdom, I greet you and thank you for your hospitality!"

The emperor said with a pleasant face: "The envoy does not have to be polite, you have come from afar and brought so many things to our country, I should treat you with courtesy, and when you go back, remember to say hello to your monarch on my behalf, if there is a chance, I hope that I can join your monarch to drink and enjoy singing and dancing!" ”

When Azabu heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, your words, as soon as I return to China, I will convey them to my monarch as soon as possible." I hope that our Tianshan country will always get along with your country in a friendly way, exchange trade, and prosper together. ”

The emperor nodded, and then said: "Tonight, the envoys don't have to be polite, these wines, food, songs and dances are specially prepared for the envoys, you can enjoy them to your heart's content." ”

The envoys gave another state salute to the emperor, and then Azab continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but our monarch has specially asked me to bring a national treasure of our Tianshan Kingdom to present to the Emperor, and tonight, I have brought it." ”

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What is it?" ”

As soon as Azab signaled to his entourage, someone immediately presented the national treasure he had spoken of on a plate.

Liu An took the plate from the hands of the envoys, and there was a box inlaid with precious stones on the plate, and the emperor opened the box, only to see that there was a transparent ball the size of a juju in the box, which exuded a little halo under the brilliant lights in the hall.

The emperor looked at Azabu and asked, "Is this ...... The pearl of the night? ”

Azabu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the Night Pearl, it just looks like the Night Pearl." This is the national treasure of my Tianshan country, the holy water beads, the legend is that the ancestors of our country are the most famous great wizards, collecting the water of the yin and the water of the sun on the Tianshan Mountains, in the coldest Tianshan Mountain, it can also be tentacled to generate temperature, but no matter how it is heated, this holy water beads will not be hot, you can reach out now to try! ”

Oh, there are such magical beads in this world, it can't be Azab's nonsense!

After hearing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help frowning.

On the other side, the emperor had already reached out and touched the holy water droplet, which was really warm to the touch, very magical, and the emperor couldn't help but have his eyes shining, and praised:

"This holy water droplet, as the envoy said, is warm, and it is very comfortable to touch!"

Azab added: "Actually, the magic of this holy water bead is more than that. This holy water bead also has the effect of prolonging life, people who suffer from severe cold diseases, as long as they put this holy water bead on the bed, within half a year, the cold disease can be cured. ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will accept this holy water droplet." The envoys are invited to take their seats, and the dinner will begin immediately. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Today's dinner is still lively, the wine is intoxicating, the food is tempting, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, which is unforgettable.

--------------------

After the dinner was dispersed, he returned to the East Palace, and Yun Xiao was still thinking about the holy water beads offered by the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom.

Yun Xiao is familiar with the history books of various countries, in her memory, there is no record of this "holy water bead", if it is really as Azabu said, it was refined by their ancestors' great wizards, not now, then, how can it not appear in the history books of Tianshan Kingdom?

Or is it ...... This holy water bead is too mysterious, and the superior does not allow it to be recorded in the history books?

Xia Rui saw that she was fascinated, so he asked, "Xiao'er, what are you thinking?" ”

Yun Xiao heard the sound, came back to his senses, and replied with a smile: "The concubine is thinking about that holy water bead, is there really such a magical thing in the Tianshan Kingdom?" Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you ever heard of such a bead before? ”

Xia Rui smiled: "This is the national treasure of the Tianshan Kingdom, and it is a very important thing. Under normal circumstances, it would not be easy for outsiders to know, if it weren't for the envoys! The holy water beads were sent and introduced in detail, how could I possibly know? ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "It turns out that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, alas, ......"

Seeing this, Xia Rui raised his eyebrows: "Xiao'er, are you very interested in this holy water bead?" Do you want to touch it too? ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to shake the wind at Yun Xiao.

As a result, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly changed.

Yun Xiao immediately stretched out his tone and said angrily: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really good at teasing the concubines, the holy water beads are now at the father's place, do the concubines still have to go to the father's place and forcibly ask for a touch?" ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately laughed: "I see that my father has a very good impression of you, if you go to your father to ask for it, he will definitely give it to you!" ”

"You ......" Yun Xiao glared at him a little angrily.

However, Xia Rui didn't care: "Hahahahahahaha......ha

Seeing this, Yun Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and walked inside.

--------------------

After such a fuss, what happened to the holy water, Yun Xiao let it go.

And the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom, after staying in the Great Xia Kingdom for three days, also set off to return to their homeland.

Everything, it seems, doesn't seem to be a problem.

However, on the night after the departure of the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom, the emperor's body felt unwell.

At first, he was just tired, and the emperor thought that he was working on state affairs and was too tired, so he didn't announce the imperial doctor, but went to bed earlier than before.

In the early morning of the next day, when the emperor got up, he found that his fatigue had not subsided, but was accompanied by dizziness and headache.

By mid-afternoon, the situation had become even more serious. In addition to the above symptoms, the emperor also began to vomit, and many red rashes appeared on his skin one after another, although these red rashes were not itchy, but they made the emperor feel extremely uncomfortable.

After the joint consultation of all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, it was still impossible to determine what kind of disease the emperor had this time.

None of the imperial physicians could give a definite answer.

However, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that in the Chengqian Palace, the palace maids and chamberlains who served the emperor closely appeared one after another, and even the imperial doctor Chen of the imperial hospital also had the same symptoms, that is to say, the emperor's illness is very contagious.

According to the palace rules of the Great Xia Kingdom, as long as the palace people who are sick must be immediately sent to Le'an Hall to be grounded, and food and water will be uniformly distributed by special people.

The palace is a place where you worship high and step on low, and see the wind and steer the rudder.

No one would want to take the risk of a sick minion.

Three days passed quickly, and the news of death came out in the Le'an Hall, and the dead people were all palace people who had served the emperor in the Chengqian Palace, and there was no way to get medicinal materials for themselves, including palace maids and chamberlains.
