The treacherous, despicable, and very selfish image of the envoy left a deep impression on Xiao Man, she naturally hated this kind of person, otherwise she would not have refused so simply, but now, ......

Xiao Man's eyes were full of suspicion, and there was a hint of shock and incomprehension.

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but smile lightly at the corners of his lips, he held Xiao Man's hand and put it to his heart, "You touch, I have a conscience here." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiaoman didn't understand.

"That envoy is treacherous and selfish, and he secretly came to force you to sign a contract while Holley was away, such a person, even if he kneels down and begs me, I will definitely not forgive him." Lu Li smiled and continued: "Don't blame me. ”

When he heard that King Canglan came to visit today, Lu Li guessed that the other party had brought the envoy to apologize to him, but he never expected that the king of Canglan did not protect the envoy at all, but had a good conversation with him.

Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but smile again, and told Xiaoman what happened in the afternoon and the conversation between himself and King Canglan 1510.

"Really?" Of course, Xiao Man was also very shocked and surprised, "It's as simple as that, if you don't forgive, then King Canglan didn't say anything else?" And the envoy, he didn't argue for himself? ”

Lu Li kept nodding his head and patiently answered Xiao Man's every doubt: "Of course not, don't you still believe what I said?" ”

When the other party said this, Xiao Man still couldn't believe it in his heart, what he had been worried about for so long was so quietly annihilated? I didn't say anything unscathed, and Lu Li also became friends with King Canglan?

The direction of this development was too good, indeed beyond her expectations.

Seeing how quickly Xiao Man's expression changed, Lu Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Man, you have to believe that King Canglan has absolutely no intention of shielding the envoys, but because they are now on Donglan's territory, it is not easy to fight among themselves." ”

After speaking, he said to Xiaoman seriously: "King Canglan is different from what we imagined, he is a good monarch, a good commander, I believe that if you go to Canglan, you will definitely be treated very well." ”

"And Hua Li, although the envoy may have deceived King Canglan with rhetoric, but when Hua Li went back and told the truth, didn't King Canglan bring the envoy to apologize?" He rubbed the woman's little hand and analyzed it a little bit: "The emperor doesn't have to be anxious about getting along with each other, you can also discuss cooperation with Huali with peace of mind, isn't it good?" ”

This is a good thing, Xiao Man nodded, and the big stone that was pressing on her heart finally moved away, so that she could relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Man couldn't help but think of Wangshu and Old Man Xia going to travel again, so far away from Shangjing, and so remote, a small town that can't be found on the map, and there are still a few days to go, her heart is like a stone has fallen, so she can't relax at all.

Seeing Xiao Man turn from relaxed to worried, Lu Li could also guess what the other party was thinking, but Wangshu had his own idea, and their parents had already agreed, so naturally they couldn't go back, so even if they were worried now, there was no way.

Lu Li whispered a few words of persuasion to the other party, promising that he would send some more people out to surround Wangshu and the others, and the rest did not dare to guarantee it. After listening to this, Xiao Man sighed leisurely and didn't say anything more.

The two sat quietly face to face, Lu Li clenched Xiao Man's hand, occasionally kneading it twice, but there was no word.

It gradually deepened, and the sound of beating the watch sounded outside, Lu Li sighed secretly and got up, "It's late at night, let's go rest first." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Man returned to the couch, Lu Li blew out the candles, and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Lu Li received an order from the emperor asking him to enter the palace with his wife before noon to attend the banquet with King Canglan and others.

After the father-in-law in the palace read out the edict, Lu Li and Xiaoman received the order, and then thanked the father-in-law and sent each other away, and then the two went back to the room to change their clothes and prepare to enter the palace.

Xiao Man sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting Pearl re-tie her hair in a bun, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked, "Lu Li, do you think the emperor has already agreed with King Canglan?" ”

Lu Li just entered the palace last night and recommended Xiao Man to the emperor, and this morning the emperor sent someone to let him and Xiao Man enter the palace before noon, this is a little too early, right?

King Canglan no longer lives in the palace now, and the palace and the post house are not next to each other, even if King Canglan enters the palace early this morning to ask for peace, this announcement that he and Xiaoman should not come so quickly.

Thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head, "My father-in-law came too early, the emperor shouldn't have discussed it with King Canglan so early." ”

"Then how can it ......" Xiaoman wondered.

"Maybe the emperor wants to take advantage of this banquet to announce this matter." According to Lu Li's understanding of the emperor, he guessed like this: "Maybe the emperor is afraid that King Canglan will regret it, so he wants to use such a big scene to make it difficult for the other party to ride a tiger." ”

This has always been the emperor's style, taking advantage of the large number of people to sit on the matter, so that the other party has no chance to regret it.

But what he did just showed that the emperor did not have enough confidence in what Lu Li said, and he also had doubts about the loyalty of King Canglan.

However, Lu Li firmly believed that he was not wrong about the meaning of King Canglan, otherwise he would not have rushed to the palace yesterday to explain all this to the emperor. So today's banquet must not be a big problem.

"Madame, please change your clothes." Pearl reminded.

Xiao Man nodded, then got up, and changed into a more solemn bean green jacket and long skirt, covered with a white fox fur, fortunately, on the way to the palace, it was not cold, after all, the weather outside is getting colder and colder, and it is likely to snow today.

Lu Li changed into a long shirt of the same color as Xiaoman, but instead of criticizing the fox fur, he ordered someone to bring a crescent white cloak.

Seeing that the time was not early, the people outside had already prepared the carriage, Lu Li took Xiao Man's hand, only took the pearl alone, and went straight into the carriage, and Wei Xiuyuan and his wife, who were also invited, took two carriages and rushed to the direction of the palace together.

Because the two families took two carriages, they couldn't discuss on the road, and only after getting off the carriage from the palace did Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li meet.

"The emperor suddenly invited us to a banquet, what's going on?" Taking advantage of the fact that the eunuch leading the way in front didn't pay attention, Wei Xiuyuan walked to Lu Li's side and asked quietly.

He didn't know that King Canglan visited Lu Li yesterday, so he was very surprised, after all, the emperor had invited King Canglan to a banquet in the past few days, except for the reception banquet on the first day, they didn't receive an invitation for the rest of the few times, why was they suddenly invited today?

Just when Wei Xiuyuan was wondering about this matter, Lu Li lowered his voice and said, "Maybe it's because of the matter of making peace with King Canglan, the emperor has made a decision and wants to announce it today." ”

"What?" Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but snort, he looked sideways at Lu Li, his eyes widened slightly, "The emperor has already made a decision?" Whose daughter did the emperor choose, could it be that the families of the courtiers will also come at the banquet today? ”

As soon as he asked this, Wei Xiuyuan reacted.

Yes, the emperor must have made a decision and wanted to take advantage of this palace banquet to announce the matter, otherwise how could he let himself and Lu Li bring their families? It seems that the matter of harmony has become a big situation, and there is no way to change it.

"Not what you think." Lu Li hurriedly interrupted Wei Xiuyuan's conjecture, covered his lips and said softly: "Don't worry, the emperor won't force anyone to kiss." ”

"And what does that mean?" Wei Xiuyuan was stunned again.

Lu Li pressed Wei Xiuyuan's wrist, handed the other party a reassuring look, and immediately shook his head, signaling the other party not to ask, and never spoke again.

After all, this is in this palace, even if they are deeply trusted by the emperor, but after all, there is a eunuch in front of them, if they talk too much, they will inevitably get into trouble for themselves, so it is better to be silent.

How could Wei Xiuyuan not know this truth, so when Lu Li motioned for him not to ask again, he had to sigh, lowered his head and walked forward, pondering what Lu Li had just said in his heart, and his brows were tightly locked.

It is to announce the result of the marriage, but it does not need anyone to marry far away......

These words seemed contradictory to him, so until he arrived in front of the hall, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

"Lord Wei, Grandpa Guo, two ladies, this is the place for today's banquet, the slave will take you to sit down first." The eunuch leading the way in front stopped, lowered his head and asked the meaning of the four people.

Lu Li nodded, "Then it's troublesome for my father-in-law." ”

They came early, there was no one in the hall, only a few courtiers had already sat down, but they were far away from the position of the four, they had not communicated too much before, only greeted each other, and returned to their positions.

Fortunately, Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li's positions were extremely close, and seeing that there were not many eunuchs around, he couldn't help but get close to Lu Li and asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by what you just told me?" Lu Li, do you know something? ”

"King Canglan came to my house yesterday, which shows that he is not stubborn about being friendly, but just wants our majesty to help him." Lu Li lowered his voice, and while paying attention to the movements around him, he whispered: "So yesterday evening, I hurried to the palace and explained the matter to the emperor. ”

"Don't need to be kind?" Wei Xiuyuan was even more confused, "Then why did he send envoys to negotiate peace before?" And our Emperor His Majesty has no choice but to pretend to be sick and delay? Lu Li, don't tell you that you are on the same line as this Canglan King. ”

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but glance up at the other party, and sighed helplessly, but he still had to explain: "You think too much, I just knew what King Canglan meant, so I am so sure." ”
