Chapter 833: Lobbyist

Her heart trembled, and Mrs. Sun sank like water behind her, and said: "There is no inside story, but the concubine persuaded the mourning family a few words, and the mourning family didn't listen, so she arranged for someone to do it first." Unexpectedly, Dr. Leng was armed with martial arts and escaped a catastrophe. The mourning family thought, since they have been offended, then simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and save the disaster. Who would have expected that this incident would attract the revenge of the King of Chu, and he really regretted it at the beginning. ”

"Although this matter has something to do with the concubine, but she is here to help the mourning family, Your Majesty should not blame it, all the responsibility is borne by the mourning family." Empress Dowager Sun closed her eyes, sighed in twilight and said, "Three days later, the king of Chu will come again, and the mourning family will go to tell him in person." ”

Emperor Dongwan was helpless, and left with a heavy heart, and Empress Dowager Sun sat quietly for a whole hour before asking Mama Fang to find Concubine Li.

Emperor Dongwan, who returned to Qixia Palace, kept his face blue, which made Empress Wei even more worried: "Why is Your Majesty's face so ugly?" But what did the King of Chu say to offend His Majesty? ”

I didn't want to talk about it, but Emperor Dongwan was upset, and finally told Queen Wei what the Queen Mother had learned. The latter was also shocked, and only then did he know why the king of Chu came all the way to the capital this time and delayed for a month before entering the palace, it turned out that he went to collect evidence.

"In the final analysis, this incident was also caused by Master Chu Wang, if it wasn't for his greed for royal treasures, how could he have caused this murderous disaster? I'm afraid that the king of Chu didn't investigate clearly, or ...... He already knew the inside story, but he deliberately didn't say it, he just wanted to avenge the master? ”

Empress Wei complained and guessed two sentences, and her tone changed comfortingly: "If Your Majesty says this, and gives some compensation, maybe the King of Chu will give up?" ”

"Moreover, who is the King of Chu? Something happened to his master, how could he not know about it, and he had to wait until now to seek revenge? Maybe Emperor Xichu gave him some task and wanted to get benefits from our Dongwan, so he deliberately exaggerated this matter, not forcing His Majesty to give him an explanation, but actually just wanting benefits. ”

"If that's the case, it's easy." Emperor Dongwan nodded and said in a deep voice.

Even if Nalan Ye pursued this matter, he wanted to use Leng Ting's death to ask for benefits and make profits for Xi Chu and himself, these Dongwan Emperors could not care about it. As far as he is concerned, he can back down at the cost of some money or other aspects, as long as it does not involve the issue of principle, dignity and face.

After all, the master of the king of Chu died under the order of the queen mother, which has become a fact.

After thinking about it, Empress Wei said: "If the King of Chu really wants to ask for compensation, then Your Majesty will take a step back and give money or anything." The words of the concubine and the woman, if there is anything wrong, Your Majesty will think about it again. Moreover, the concubine also thought of a way to try it. ”

Looking at Emperor Dongwan's eagerness, Empress Wei seemed to have Luo Qingluan's smiling appearance in front of her eyes.

This bright-eyed, bright-toothed, intelligent and clever woman once cured her illness with her wonderful medical skills, so as to avoid being harmed by Concubine Li. In the final analysis, Luo Qingluan still has a favor with her.

She is so kind and generous, and she is favored by the king of Chu, if she asks her for intercession, maybe this matter can be properly resolved.

Nodding slightly, Empress Wei's red lips opened, and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the prince and Princess Chu have a good relationship, the last time Princess Chu came to Dongwan, the prince helped her a lot, if Your Majesty asked the prince to intercede with Princess Chu, maybe ......"

"yes, why didn't I think of that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Dongwan frowned again: "But I don't know, whether the princess of Chu came with the king of Chu this time, if the princess of Chu is still in Western Chu, there are only three days left, I am afraid of ......"

In any case, you must also try, send someone to inquire first.

Soon, Bao Quanan, the chief eunuch, went to the prince's mansion, whispered for a while, and informed Xiao Yuqi of Emperor Dongwan's message.

I was guessing why the King of Chu came to Dongwan before, but now Xiao Yuqi knows the truth. After thinking of the seriousness of the matter, even if it was Xiao Yuqi, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yan Wu, you immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book, let the spies of Western Chu check whether the princess of Chu is still in the palace of Chu Wangfu!" Soon, Xiao Yuqi wrote a letter and handed it to his confidant, if he found out that the princess of Chu was in Western Chu, let him send it out immediately, otherwise not.

For two whole days, Xiao Yuqi was anxious and irritable, like an ant on a hot pot, losing his cool for the first time.

If you can't think of a way, I'm afraid that Nalan Ye will really make a big deal out of it. His imperial grandmother, as well as Concubine Li Guifei, all did not die well. But if the father wants to oppose it, he is afraid that it will involve a war between Dongwan and Xichu, and it is really impossible to agree, and it is not okay to disagree, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

No matter what, I can only beg Princess Chu, hoping that she can persuade King Chu to make a big deal smaller.

Waiting until the third day, there was finally news, Yan Wu came back, saying that the people from the Western Chu side had checked, and the Chu Palace's mansion had not seen the figure of the princess of Chu for a long time. And they searched and investigated closely in Dongwan Capital and found a strange thing.

"There is a new pharmacy near the Three Princes' Mansion, and it is a woman who sits for a consultation, and she is also skilled in medicine?"

Xiao Yuqi heard all the experiences, analyzed them one by one, and finally determined that Luo Qingluan also came to Dongwan Capital. And the woman who is called the medicine god Niangniang is eighty percent likely to be her!

After some inquiry, Xiao Yuqi finally understood how King Chu learned the truth of the matter.

The matter has come to this, Xiao Yuqi immediately entered the palace to ask for instructions, Emperor Dongwan agreed after thinking twice, and then opened the imperial treasury to prepare a gift, and Xiao Yuqi sent someone to the place where Nalan Ye stayed, saying that this thing was given to Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu.

In the backyard, Luo Qingluan opened the wooden box that was sent, Nalan Ye stood aside and watched, and had already guessed something: "Qingluan, you opened it directly, aren't you curious about who sent it?" Although the person who came did not say it explicitly, he already knew a little.

I am afraid that it was sent by Emperor Dongwan or Prince Xiao Yuqi to make amends, but it was directly given to Luo Qingluan instead of him, obviously knowing that she was coming and wanted to intercede with her.

Luo Qingluan also had some guesses, the mahogany box in front of her was exactly the same as what Xiao Yuqi showed her when she was in Xichu before. If she guessed correctly, after this box was opened, it was the Hanyu box inside. And what is contained inside is the world's greatest treasure - Hanyu silkworm!

When Luo Qingluan opened the wooden box and revealed the white jade box inside, the guesses in his heart became reality, and it was self-evident who gave this thing. Except for the crown prince Xiao Yuqi, who else would know her preferences and give such a gift that makes her heart move?

"This is ......" Nalan Ye looked at the jade box in the middle.

Luo Qingluan smiled faintly and shook his head: "It seems that in order to eliminate your anger, they have done all their kung fu to me." What's in it, even if you don't need to say it, you can just open it and see it. ”

Hearing Luo Qingluan say this, Nalan Ye was also a little curious and picked up the cold jade box.

The moment the tentacle was reached, he only felt cold and penetrating, he frowned, and the answer had already appeared in his heart. When he opened the box and saw that there was a white and fat, translucent silkworm-like insect inside, he knew.

Cold Jade Silkworm!

His master, Leng Ting, died because of this worm!

Looking at the small jade silkworm in the palm box, the coldness in Nalan Ye's eyes diffused, no matter what kind of treasure this insect was, the Empress Dowager Dongwan and the Sun family used this excuse to assassinate his master Leng Ting. And in order to take care of the big thing and consider the face of Emperor Dongwan, he has not yet told the truth of the matter, otherwise......

Once Emperor Dongwan became angry, he was afraid that he would really make a big move.

Putting down the box coldly, Nalan Ye snorted softly: "They sent this thing, just to calculate what you like." But since this item is rare and useful to you, you can also ask for some interest if you want it. ”

The jade silkworm in the box suddenly came into contact with the outside temperature and had slowly woken up.

Slowly squirming, the body twisted and twisted, it looked chubby, very cute. The translucent body seems to be able to see internal organs, as well as a small black digestive tract as thin as a hair. The ruddy mouth was only a little bigger than the tip of a needle, and the jade silkworm swayed, raising its head only a little higher than a grain of rice, and secreted a drop of transparent spiritual liquid.

In an instant, Luo Qingluan had already smelled a refreshing fragrance, and Nalan Ye also moved his eyes and looked at it a few more times.

Reluctant to waste the spiritual liquid, Luo Qingluan quickly felt the hollow silver needle on his body, absorbed the drop, and poured it into a clean jade bottle to put it away. Then he closed the jade box and continued to let the cold jade silkworm sleep peacefully until it secreted the spiritual fluid for the second time.

"It's such a treasure, which makes your master's heart move, and it causes the disaster of killing." Infinite emotion, the deceased has passed away, and Luo Qingluan doesn't know how to comfort Nalan Ye.

As for Xiao Yuqi's intention, she knew that even such a treasure had been sent, and she had to meet and make it clear.

"Qingluan, you said that Xiao Yuqi sent this treasure, what do you want to ask you for?" Nalan Ye looked at her and said this deliberately, his face was a little dark.

He was actually worried that if Xiao Yuqi came to her to intercede, with the friendship between the two, what should he do if she really couldn't refuse? Anyway, he didn't want Luo Qingluan to be embarrassed, but he didn't want his master to die unclear.

Luo Qingluan said: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, and I won't agree to anything casually." One yard at a time, no matter how good my friendship with Prince Xiao is, he has helped me countless times, I can repay him with all my might, but I will not let you violate the principles of being a man. ”

With a soft heart, Nalan Ye had a little more tenderness on his face, this is his woman, always on his side, and will not embarrass him.

"Qingluan, you go early and come back early, don't talk to him for too long." Nalan night admonished.

……

In the prince's mansion, he waited until the next person came to report that Princess Chu was coming, and Xiao Yuqi's heart that had been hanging fell down.

"Who did Princess Chu bring, and did she bring anything with her?" He immediately asked.

It's strange why the prince asked this, but the subordinate still said: "Back to the prince, the princess of Chu came alone, and she didn't bring anything, empty-handed." ”

"That's good." Xiao Yuqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Qingluan was willing to come to see him, and he hadn't sent the Hanyu silkworm back yet, which meant that there was hope. He had been thinking about how to say it for a long time, but when it came to the end, there was still a feeling that he couldn't speak.

asked his subordinates to invite Luo Qingluan in, Xiao Yuqi immediately got up to greet him, and said with a smile on his face after a few words of greeting: "Princess Chu, have you received a gift from this king?" ”

Since Xiao Yuqi didn't take the initiative, Luo Qingluan wouldn't speak first.

She smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, I received it, so I came over to thank His Royal Highness the Prince." I am really grateful to the prince for such a precious gift. By the way, didn't you say last time that you still want to treat the third prince, why don't you send someone to invite the third prince, I happen to be free now. ”

"Uh...... This, indeed, is not necessary. ”

Knowing that Luo Qingluan deliberately mentioned this, he just pretended not to understand, but Xiao Yuqi always wanted to get to the point, and said with a wry smile: "Princess Chu, I'm really embarrassed, this king specially invited you to come this time, because there is another matter to ask for, but it has nothing to do with the third brother." ”

Sure enough, it was inevitable, Luo Qingluan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to smile: "But it's for Nalan Ye's business?" ”
