Chapter 384: The Queen Mother Did It On Purpose
"Queen Mother, this time we came to Yuexi with the greatest sincerity, but our two treasures of the town and country were said to be so useless, can we bring this treasure back?" One of the accompanying ministers said coldly.
"In that case, then the palace is even more suspicious of the sincerity of your Yuexi coming this time, didn't you say that you want to exchange these three treasures for your queen? If you want to bring back two gifts, would it be nice for the palace to unload two things from your queen and let you take them back? Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows and said.
What the? Even if they want to remove two pieces from their queen and bring them back, let alone those ministers who are guarding the court, I'm afraid that even the people of Yuexi will not agree.
"The Queen Mother is threatening us?" The Prime Minister of Yuexi said coldly,
"Hahaha, threat? Where did this palace threaten you, you said so, but you really slandered this palace. Chu Lixue said with cold eyes.
Hearing this, the minister of Yuexi beat a spirit and slandered Queen Beichen, this crime is really too big, but it is not something she can afford. It's just ......, it's clear that Queen Beichen threatened them first, saying that if they take away the treasure, they will take two things from the queen's body, this woman is really vicious.
"Queen Mother, I mean, since the Queen Mother doesn't like this colorful Xia Yi and the deep sea red coral, then we will bring it back so as not to obstruct the eyes of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said that she wants to take two things down from our Queen and ask us to bring them back, isn't it a threat? Niangniang is the mother of a country, and it is a bit deceitful to threaten the envoys in the court like this. ”
Hearing what the other party said, Chu Lixue hooked her lips and smiled, "Prime Minister Jia, where is the palace threatening you, it is clear that you are slandering, the palace is saying, take two things from the queen of Yuexi and let you take them back, but this thing can be on the jade pendant on the queen's body, or the hairpin on the head." It's an explanation that you brought back, don't let others misunderstand, you ran away with these three gifts. ”
Seeing Prime Minister Jia Cheng's stunned appearance, everyone really wanted to laugh, and they couldn't imagine that their queen mother's ability to mess around was really superior.
"Prime Minister Jia, don't you apologize to the queen mother soon, the mother just said that she was joking, but you took it seriously." Yue Miao reminded.
Hearing Yue Miao say this, Prime Minister Jia Cheng reacted immediately, she almost ruined the princess's big event, thinking of this, Prime Minister Jia hurriedly saluted Chu Lixue to make amends.
"The queen mother, please forgive me for my recklessness, it's better for us to take a look at the third treasure, maybe we can get the mother's liking." After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Jia hurriedly opened the third large wooden box.
When the large wooden chest was opened, there was a base made of gold, and there were four golden dragons on each side of the base, and surrounded by these four golden dragons was a huge pearl of the night.
Such a night pearl is rare in the world, but Chu Lixue just glanced at it lightly and shook her head very disdainfully. Yue Miao frowned slightly when she saw this, this pearl is rare, and many women can't stop seeing it.
At the beginning, when they got the pearl of the night in Yuexi, several sisters liked it very much, and they all begged their mother many times, but no one got it.
Now, she sent this night pearl to Beichen, but she was so disgusted by Queen Beichen, could it be that she had seen something rarer than these three treasures?
Suddenly, Chu Lixue's face changed, and she said coldly: "Princess Yuemiao, this palace sees that you don't want your mother to return to China safely." Dare to use some fakes to deceive the emperor, what a bold man. Chu Lixue said coldly.
Hearing this, Yue Miao can no longer talk to Chu Lixue calmly this time, these treasures are the treasures of the town and country in Yuexi, but they are said to be fake by this Queen of Beichen, it is simply too deceitful.
"Remnant Snow, Remnant Moon, help them, let the ministers see, what is called fake and real." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Immediately, Wanyue and Canxue stepped forward, Wanyue picked up the Night Pearl, fell to the ground, and the Night Pearl also lost its luster, and then, more than a dozen fireflies flew out from the base of the Night Pearl. Seeing such a scene, Yue Miaoden was stunned.
"This night pearl is fake." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"This ......," Moon said dumbly. This night pearl was brought from Yuexi day and night, and there were always people guarding the way, if it was said that someone dropped the bag, it should be impossible. But if it hadn't been dropped, then how did this treasure become like this?
But before Yue Miao could answer, Chu Lixue spoke again, and then the two of them, Rean Xue and Wan Yue, threw the second treasure, Red Coral, on the ground. Looking at the crystal clear substance shattered to the ground, this made everyone wonder, what is this crystal clear substance?
It stands to reason that this red coral is a deep-sea thing, how can it be crystal clear, no wonder the queen said that there is a problem with this coral, and the fragrance is weird, the queen said that it is musk, it seems that the princess of Yuexi really has no good intentions.
"Use fake coral mixed with red musk, and fake night pearls to come to Beichen, do you want to humiliate Beichen?" Chu Lixue said sharply.
Yue Miao is panicking now, when did this treasure become fake? It should be impossible on this road, and it will only be dropped when you are in the west.
Those who can use such ingenious means to know the three national treasures of Yuexi, except for the clan relatives of Yuexi and a few ministers, it is impossible for others to have the opportunity to know. As for who did it, it depends on who is usually in charge of the key to the treasury.
Yes, that's right, it must be Wu Cheng's guy, he must hate his mother for turning him into a eunuch, he knew that his mother was captured, so he stole the treasure, so that not only could he provoke Emperor Beichen to kill his mother, maybe he could also seek to usurp the throne.
Suddenly, Yue Miao knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the queen, this time we really came to the peace talks with the greatest sincerity." Yue Miao only wanted to exchange the treasure for her mother, not intentionally to change the treasure. ”
"Okay, I believe that you didn't deliberately give me fake treasures, but now, your fake treasures have been discovered by the queen, and you must at least give an explanation to our courtiers in Beichen."
"This ......"
"Your Majesty, according to the concubines, it is better to let Princess Yuemiao go back to China first to investigate the whereabouts of the treasures, and when Princess Yuemiao brings real treasures, it will not be too late to take Queen Yuexi back."
"Queen Mother, this can't work, my mother is still in Beichen, how can I rest assured?" Yue Miao said anxiously.
"Princess Yuemiao, what do you mean by that? You mean to say that Beichen will be bad for the Queen of Yuexi, right? However, there is nothing wrong with you thinking so, Yuexi and Beichen are originally hostile, and your mother is now a prisoner of the order, even if we treat her well, you will think that we have abused her. Chu Lixue said lightly.
"The queen is wise, and she asks the queen to fulfill it." Yue Miao saluted respectfully.
Chu Lixue blinked, and then said: "Wanyue, go to the heavenly prison and tell the cell boss to change a better cell for Queen Yuexi, and as for the meal, add a chicken leg to each meal." ”
Hearing this, Yue Miao really wants to cry without tears, is this queen mother deliberate, she obviously wants to take her mother back to China, how did it become an extra chicken leg per meal?
Yue Miao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted again by Chu Lixue, "Your Majesty, the doctor said that the concubine is pregnant, and she should go out and walk around more. ”
"Naturally, it's no problem, I'll go out for a walk with you." After saying that, he threw all the ministers and Yuexi envoys on the court, and walked out side by side with Chu Lixue's hand.
Seeing this, King Ning shook his head helplessly, "Everyone, let's also retreat." Yue'er, you send a team of people to send Princess Yuemiao to the border first, so that they can go back safely. ”
"Yes, Father." Nangong Yue said loudly.
Being ordered to be evicted like this, Yue Miao has nothing left behind, she must go back first to find the real treasure and dispose of that Wu Cheng, otherwise, Yue Xi doesn't know what big trouble there will be.
thought that she should have killed that Wu Cheng with a sword, but helplessly, her mother was deceived by his rhetoric, and just turned him into a eunuch, instead of killing him to prevent future troubles.
In the imperial garden, Nangong Yihan broke away from the eunuchs who were waiting, only Chu Lixue and a few cronies around her, "It's been a while, let's go sit over there and rest for a while." Nangong Yihan said with a smile.
Chu Lixue nodded slightly, the two walked to the stone table, Ning Xiang was very considerate and put a cotton cushion on the place where Chu Lixue was sitting, and then took out hot tea and a few small snacks from the basket and placed them on the table.
Chu Lixue picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite, "Okay, just ask if you have anything to say, I've been holding it for so long, I'm very uncomfortable." ”
"Those treasures brought by Yue Miao are real. I'm curious how it turned out to be fake. Nangong Yihan said lightly.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue just smiled and said nothing, and then tried to look at the waning moon. "Your Majesty, this matter is actually very simple, didn't Niangniang make a lot of imitation high-end jewelry with glass before? He also let the caravan take it to several other countries to sell, but he made a lot of silver. According to Niangniang's words, if she recognizes this imitation as the second, no one will dare to admit the first. ”
"And how do you know what those treasures look like? Can it be built in a short time? Nangong Yihan wondered.
"This is also very simple, Niangniang has been to Yuexi with our lord before, and I have already heard that there are three treasures of the town in Yuexi, and there is no way to imitate the first colorful Xia Yi, as for the other two, it is easier." Wanyue said with a smile.
