Chapter 68: The Envoy Dies

"Niangniang-the prince of Chu just sent something again." The mandarin duck pushed the door in and spoke.

Hearing this, Ripple couldn't help but put down the work in his hand, and couldn't help but say: "This Prince Chu is really persevering, is it a letter this time?" ”

The mandarin duck shook his head: "It's not just the letter, but a box was also sent this time." ”

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, raised her hand slightly, and motioned for the mandarin duck to bring the things over, only to see that under a letter, there was a box. When I opened the wooden box, it was a black jade, and the surface of the jade was very smooth and transparent, as if it had aura. Kou Shu gently reached out and touched it, and the object felt cold to the touch, making Kou Shu shiver.

"He's generousβ€”he actually gave you Heqingyu." Behind him, Song Jinyan's voice was a little sour.

The mandarin ducks were stunned, and they all couldn't help kneeling, kowtowed, and said, "The emperor is auspicious." ”

When Kou Shu saw Song Jinyan, she raised her eyebrows and quipped: "I think it's time for the people in the palace to change, and when the emperor arrived, no one passed it on." ”

Song Jinyan waved his hand: "Don't blame them, it's me who is not allowed to pass it on," his eyes rolled, and his eyes fell on the box, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have seen that Prince Nanzhao was so hearted to give such treasures to the queen." ”

Kou Shu's eyes were lazy, and he casually threw the box aside, and said, "The emperor knows about this jade?" ”

"This jade is called Heqing jade, the jade body is black, it is a unique jade in the Xuanwu Mountain of Nanzhao, and it is regarded as a holy stone by the people of Nanzhao, which has the effect of calming and purifying the heart, warding off evil spirits and blocking evil." After that, Song Jinyan casually flipped through Chu Li's letter on the side and swept it in ten lines.

The ripples on the side of the mandarin duck looked worried, if Prince Chu said something outrageous in the letter, wouldn't the queen be speechless.

Who knew that after Song Jinyan finished reading it, his face remained unchanged, and he just snorted coldly: "This Chu Li is kind to the queen, and he actually sent a lot of jade that can calm the Gu poison in the queen's body." ”

Kou Shu spread her hands, indicating that she didn't know. He tilted his head slightly to look at Song Jinyan, and then asked: "Today is not the big day of the fifteenth day of the new year, the blue sky and the white day, how can the emperor remember Changle Palace?" ”

Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "What, my harem, what else can't I go, my queen, when else can't I come?" ”

Kou Shu shook her head and didn't speak, but her face obviously didn't believe Song Jinyan's words.

Song Jinyan pursed his lips, but he didn't explain much, and said: "I do have something to do with you, and the news came early in the morning that it was said that an envoy suddenly died in Nanzhao's mission. ”

"Nanzhao's envoy?"

Song Jinyan nodded: "It is said that the death is very strange and cruel, the mountain is full of scars, and his hands have been cut off and his tongue has been pulled out, it seems that the murderer has a deep hatred for him." ”

Kou Shu frowned, Nanzhao's envoy didn't have much contact with him, except for Chu Shi, the third prince of Nanzhao, he didn't have a deep impression of anyone else.

"The man who died is called Si Yeming, and he is the one who presented the true beads of Lan Ming at the banquet that day." Song Jinyan looked at Kou Shu and said meaningfully.

Kou Shu's eyes moved slightly, and she understood what Song Jinyan meant in a blink of an eye, her eyes were raised, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice: "The emperor suspects that this palace is dissatisfied because of the foreshadowing of the Lan Ming true beads, so he sent someone to kill the person who offered the pearls?" ”

Song Jinyan shook his head, picked up the teacup on the table, and said leisurely: "Of course not, the queen is not so stupid." ”

Kou Shu smiled coldly: "It's just that I'm afraid that even if the emperor doesn't believe it, the rumors outside are now spreading like this." Everyone will say that this matter was done by a person who became a queen who was not a phoenix's life, cut off his hands because he hated him for holding the tray in his hand, and pulled out his tongue because he introduced the Lan Ming True Pattern Bead to everyone that day, but I was afraid that the rumors would become more and more intense, and I would be said to be a heinous person, with a small temperament and vicious methods. ”

Song Jinyan nodded slightly, although the matter was not as scary as Kou Shu said, there was not much difference, and a look of approval flashed in Song Jinyan's eyes.

Kou Shu and Song Jinyan both understand that many times, it doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is what people see and say. Regardless of whether Si Yeming's death has anything to do with Kou Shu or not, the most important thing now is that everyone thinks that Empress Daxuan is narrow-minded and vicious, even if Kou Shu has nothing to do with this matter at this time, I am afraid it will only get darker and darker.

"Who does the queen think will do this?" There was a hint of playfulness in Song Jinyan's voice.

Kou Shu shrugged: "The emperor thinks that if this matter is a big trouble, who will benefit the most?" ”

Song Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, did not speak, paused and continued: "I just came here this time to remind you, the queen is now a big tree, I am afraid that she has attracted the attention of others, and the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." The queen should also understand this truth. ”

Kou Shu was stunned for a moment, but when she looked up, she saw Song Jinyan's meaningful eyes, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart, thinking that her father's affairs had always been obsessed with Song Jinyan. I didn't expect Song Jinyan to be kind enough to remind herself, and she looked at things more thoroughly than herself, and she couldn't help but be a little impressed.

It's just that when the Nanzhao delegation came, this matter was faintly strange, and the Lan Ming Zhenwen beads sent by Nanzhao that day were even more strange, and it seemed to be premeditated, and it was logical to wash away Lan Ruoxuan's previous notoriety. Now he has taken advantage of the situation to degrade himself to a great traitor, and Nanzhao's visit this time seems to be aimed at himself everywhere.

Kou Shu was still thinking about it, but Song Jinyan didn't wait for her to react, and after saying what she wanted to say, she raised her feet and left.

"Master-" Song Jinyan had just walked out of Changle Palace and walked to the shadow under the tree, and a figure flew to Song Jinyan's side, only to see the shadow bow his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yan San just came with the news, and found out that the Alien Ghost Sect originated in Nanzhao, and now the leader of the Alien Ghost Sect is also from Nanzhao. Nanzhao came to make this coming, and it seems that there are also strange ghosts who are mixed with them to fish in troubled waters, and have bad intentions. ”

Song Jinyan's eyes sank, and then he nodded and said, "You continue to let people stare at Master Chu, who he sees and what he says, every move must be reported to me." ”

Yan nodded, and then there was a slight movement under his feet, like a gust of wind drifting, and disappeared very quickly.

Song Jinyan turned his head and looked at Changle Palace deeply, he had read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and all he thought about was the safety of the people in the world, and the love between men and women was rarely worried in his heart. It's just that I don't know when the safety of the one in Changle Palace will faintly affect my heart.
