Chapter 68: Sending a Letter to the Palace
It was already three days after Lu Qinuo delivered the letter, and this time he could be said to be in a hurry as fast as possible. Lu Qinuo came to the outside of the palace, he wanted to see the next king, it was not as difficult as Han Feng.
When Lu Qinuo arrived at the palace, it was almost noon, looking at the sun overhead, Lu Qinuo swallowed his throat a little thirsty, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment, he didn't even rest, and went straight to the palace gate.
The guards guarding the palace gate were still a few that Lu Qinuo saw that day, but Lu Qinuo was different from Han Feng, he drove his horse directly to the front of the guards, he didn't even get off the horse, he directly took out a token from his arms, and said loudly with a little pride: "I am ordered by the king of Chu to convey a letter to the next king, please open the palace gate!"
"This ......" Several guards looked at the token in Lu Qinuo's hand, turned their heads and glanced at each other, and after some consideration in their hearts, they hesitated to speak: "Even if it is the order of His Majesty the King of Chu, please hand over the letter to me, and this will be transmitted to the king." ”
"The stakes are very high, the king of Chu specially ordered me to hand over the letter to the king of Yi with my own hands!" Lu Qinuo refused, the matter of the letter from the King of Chu cannot be known to outsiders, if it is spread by someone and let Han Feng and them know, it will definitely startle the snake.
"Please wait, let me go and tell you!" The guards didn't dare to say anything, so they rushed to Lu Qinuo and hugged their fists and quickly went to Tongyu.
Although Lu Qinuo didn't care to wait for a while, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the guards return soon. At this moment, Lu Qinuo saw a person running away behind the guard, and he also understood why the guard returned so quickly.
"Master Kong!" It was natural for Lu Qinuo to know Kong Shaoling, although Kong Shaoling had never met Lu Qinuo, he was not surprised that Lu Qinuo would know him.
"Listening to the report of the guards, saying that there is a messenger sent by the king of Chu who asks to see the king, it seems that it is you!" Kong Shaoling was late because he discussed some things with the next king, so he left the palace gate late, but he didn't expect to meet the guards guarding the door, because Kong Shaoling was a close minister of the king's side, so he informed Kong Shaoling of this matter.
"It's down to me that this token can prove my identity!" Lu Qinuo was not restrained or arrogant, took out the token again, and showed it to Kong Shaoling.
Kong Shaoling looked at the token in Lu Qinuo's hand, and after thinking about it quickly, he arched his hand to Lu Qinuo and said, "Please follow me into the palace!" ”
Lu Qinuo followed Kong Shaoling into the palace, and along the way, Lu Qinuo was silent and didn't say anything, Kong Shaoling was not curious, and he didn't ask anything. Kong Shaoling will do things, and without Lu Qinuo's explanation, he will naturally take him to the most hidden path and go directly to see King Yi.
Just now, when Kong Shaoling left the palace, the next king was still in the imperial study, presumably he had not left at this time, Kong Shaoling directly took Lu Qinuo to the imperial study.
Outside the door of the hall, the little pendant was walking out with a saucer, and when he saw Kong Shaoling returning again, he was still carrying a stranger by his side, handing over the things in his hand to the maid on the side, and stepped forward to ask.
"Master Kong, what else do you have to do? Why did you say goodbye and come back again! Also, who is this one next to you? "The little pendant doesn't recognize Lu Qinuo, but the person who can be personally led by Kong Shaoling must have something important about him.
"This is a messenger sent by the king of Chu to see the king!" Kong Shaoling stretched out his hand and gestured to Lu Qinuo, which was regarded as an introduction to the little pendant.
"Huh? King of Chu? When the little pendant heard the word King of Chu, he immediately opened his mouth in surprise, but when he came back to his senses quickly, his face was a little tangled.
It's not that the little pendant is thinking nonsense, what happened between the king of Chu and his own king a few days ago, then he knows best. At this time, it was only a few days, and the letter from the King of Chu had already arrived at the palace of the next king, which would inevitably make the little pendant think crookedly: This King of Chu's longing is too strong, right? Is it really good for this king to treat you and me like this?
"I'll report when I go in, wait a minute!" The little pendant lowered his head, waved away the mess in his head, and hurriedly went in to report, and soon came out again to invite Lu Qinuo in.
After Lu Qinuo entered, the little pendant and Kong Shaoling stayed outside, Kong Shaoling looked at the small pendant with a dark face, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, what's wrong with the letter from the King of Chu?" I heard that you were on Yinghua Island before, and the King of Chu was also there? ”
This matter, Kong Shaoling listened to Xiao Huanyi, the green prince, told him, Xiao Huanyi got the news from Yuntian's mouth, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate, and later informed Kong Shaoling of this matter, and analyzed the development of this matter together.
"Huh?" The little pendant was startled, and then said a little dejectedly: "You know everything!" Actually, we don't know when the King of Chu went to Yinghua Island, I think it was the night before he decided to leave, the king saw the King of Chu, and then decided not to leave for the time being the next day. ”
"And then, what happened?" Kong Shaoling frowned slightly and asked.
"No, no!" The little pendant replied with a slight weakness, "After the king and the king of Chu met, they played together on Yinghua Island for two days, and then separated, and we came back!" ”
"...... like this" Kong Shaoling thought about it, knowing that the little pendant couldn't ask anything here, so he didn't say more, "I don't know if the King of Chu sent someone to deliver the letter this time, but what happened?" ”
Kong Shaoling has been guessing in his heart, and Xiao Shenzi has always been thinking about it in his heart, he thought that the king of Chu must have sent a love letter or something like that to the king, so he didn't dare to say more, so the two of them lowered their heads and became silent.
In the imperial study, after Lu Qinuo saluted the next king, he took out the letter directly from his arms and respectfully handed it over to the next king. When Xiao Chengmo got this letter, he had a trace of doubt in his heart, he didn't know what Chu Yuan was going to say when he sent the letter to him at this time, could it really be some affectionate words?
Xiao Chengmo also had a guess in his heart, but his face was indifferent, so he opened the envelope in front of Lu Qinuo, carefully read the handwriting on the letterhead, and his face slowly sank.
