At this point, the envoy of the State of Chu has also given all the gifts and sat on the seat given by Nalan Zhi.

Nalan nodded after hearing this, took the box and looked at it a few more times, his eyes moved, and then slowly closed the box.

"Thank you messenger," Nalan Zhishu opened his mouth in a deep and magnetic voice, and after a pause, he said, "This moon cake will be given to Concubine Yue." ”

Nalan Zhi said as he looked at Ling Tiange with soft eyes and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly called by Nalan Zhi and rewarded, Ling Tiange was suddenly a little confused.

When he reacted, the box of moon cakes had already been handed to Ling Tiange. She couldn't help but slowly stand up and saluted Nalan with all her respects.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nalan Zhi shook his head slightly, with a lot of pampering.

Ling Tiange couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and took the moon cake and sat down.

Everyone was stunned when they saw that Nalan Zhi had given the moon cake to Ling Tiange, and subconsciously looked at Liu Ruoxin, but saw that she was still indifferent, her face full of alienation. It's as if this matter has nothing to do with me.

In fact, it had nothing to do with it, but it was clearly Liu Ruoxin who won face for Nalan Zhi when he saw that the move was demolished, and everyone never thought that Nalan Zhi would give a gift to Ling Tiange.

From this point of view, Ling Tiange was really very favored by Nalan Zhi. And Liu Ruoxin Rao is both talented and beautiful, and he can't compare with Ling Tiange.

For a while, everyone couldn't help but discuss, and a few concubines looked at Liu Ruoxin as if they were watching a joke, and there was a thankless hint of Liu Ruoxin's words between them.

Ling Tiange naturally heard some of these words, and his delicate smile was full of smugness and provocation. She looked at Liu Ruoxin proudly with a pair of eyes, and her heart was full of disgust.

Liu Ruoxin was a little stunned by this, although Nalan Zhi's reward was nothing to her, there would still be waves in her heart.

Liu Ruoxin's eyes were dim, and he lowered his head, and the whole person looked a little gloomy, but after a while, Liu Ruoxin figured it out, and the haze dissipated, and when he raised his head, the whole person was relieved, and then looked indifferent.

And the corners of Nalan Zhi's eyes slightly skimmed towards Liu Ruoxin, and the corners of his mouth were raised proudly, as if he felt that his actions had angered her, but when he saw Liu Ruoxin, who was leisurely and complacent, he didn't cheer up.

With the lively shouting, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended like this, and at the beginning of the lanterns, Nalan Zhi was sitting on the jade chair in the imperial study and was looking at the book in his hand, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

Hearing this, Nalan Zhi put down the book in his hand and raised his head.

"Enter."

After the words fell, the door was opened, and a secret guard quietly walked in, whispering in Nalan Zhi's ear for a while and then quickly disappeared.

Nalan Zhi, on the other hand, set his eyes on a certain place, smiled coldly, and there was a touch of ruthlessness on the corner of his lips.

The prince of Chu State, I never thought that you would be so bold, thinking that if you were mixed in, I would not know?

The next morning, in the palace where the envoys of the Chu State lived, several eunuchs entered with the will of Nalan Zhi.

When the envoys entered the main hall, they saw Nalan Zhi sitting on the top seat, and raised his hand to signal them to sit down.

"I don't know if the envoys ate well yesterday and are they still used to living there?"

When the envoy heard this, he hurriedly got up and handed over: "Back to your majesty, everything is fine, thank you for your hospitality." ”

After hearing this, Nalan waved his hand magnanimously: "No need to say thank you, your country has brought so many gifts, I naturally want to pay the above gifts." I hope you have enjoyed this breakfast today. ”

The envoys of Chu all shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty" and then saw the palace maids beside them come forward to make fragrant tea.

This tea is rich and fragrant, but it makes people like it very much. The messengers hurriedly picked up the teacups and tasted them carefully.

Just as the tea was being tasted, a group of dancing girls walked in from outside the main hall and danced to the music.

The dancers were beautiful and danced, and the messengers couldn't help but enjoy it.

Although Nalan Zhi was also closed, the afterglow fell on the envoys of the Chu State. Seeing that they were all relaxed physically and mentally, they couldn't help but hook their lips slightly and smile evilly.

But when Nalan Zhi picked up the teacup in front of him, a dancing girl in the hall suddenly pulled out a dagger from the inside of her long skirt and stabbed Nalan Zhi.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and immediately stood up and ran towards Nalan Zhi, but the guards around Nalan Zhi attacked faster, and instantly pulled out the long knife at his waist and shot down Wu Ji's dagger.

The dancer's hand shook, and suddenly her body was unstable and fell to the ground, and the guard next to her saw this, and stepped forward and slapped the back of the dancer's neck.

Before the dancing girl could react, she fainted, and Nalan Zhi stood on the seat unsettled and gasped for breath, as if she didn't expect that there would be an assassin hidden in the dancing girl, and it took a long time to reluctantly walk down the high stairs and come to the dancing girl with the support of her father-in-law on the side.

When the envoys of the Chu State saw that the assassin had been subdued, their hearts were relieved, and they were about to speak to appease them, but when they saw Nalan Zhi's eyes glaring, they suddenly became angry.

"What is this!"

Hearing Nalan Zhi's roar, the envoys of the Chu State also hurriedly looked over. It didn't matter what he looked at, but he saw that the guards searched for a waist card engraved with the word "Chu" from the fainting dancing girl.

Looking at the gold-plated waist card, the envoys were horrified, dazed and panicked.

"Can you please explain to me what this is all about?"

Nalan Zhi's voice fell on the ears of the envoys like thunder, and looking at Nalan Zhi's angry appearance, the envoys couldn't help but be a little afraid.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about it!"

The envoy at the head explained this with a look of trepidation, but Nalan Zhi didn't listen at all, still with his sword eyebrows raised, and his eyes looked at him like a knife.

"The waist cards of this Chu State are all on the body of this assassin, you still dare to quibble!"

When the envoys of Chu State heard this, although they were aggrieved and scared, they still opened their mouths to explain.

Nalan Zhi's face suddenly darkened, and he waved his big hand and said, "Someone!" Arrest these villains! ”

As soon as Nalan gave the order, he saw that the guards outside had entered the main hall with long swords in hand, and stood in two rows behind the envoys on both sides.

The envoys did not expect that Nalan Zhi would really arrest them, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Nalan Zhi.

"Your Majesty, we are really wronged, to put it mildly, if it is really us who did it, why do we still have to tie such a waist card on our bodies, isn't it easy to expose?"

When the other envoys heard this, they quickly nodded in agreement. However, Nalan Zhi still had a cold face, and turned his back with the dragon card.

"The facts are already in front of me, how can I believe you!"

With that, Nalan Zhi walked back to his seat in a few steps, and indifferently ordered the guards to suppress the messenger.

The envoys were all held hostage by the long sword, and they did not dare to speak again, and their faces were full of resentment, as if they had suffered a lot.

Nalan Zhi didn't look at their expressions, but only suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the people below.
