Chapter 469: The Duchess's Hysteria
Huo Yuhao's accusation is not insignificant, a conflict that originally had an unknown cause has now suddenly escalated into the fuse for the renewed war between Sun Moon and Xingluo.
Zhu Jing, the son of the Zhu family who was looking on the side, couldn't help but look calm, he was in a high position, and after a short period of stunned, he quickly saw through Huo Yuhao's purpose.
The Zhu family and the Dai family are generations of in-laws, and he naturally cares about the news of the Dai family, and he naturally has heard about the third son of the Dai family. The story of Huo Yuhao, who was still young at the time, daring to go to the border alone to find the Duke of White Tiger for his mother, became a good story among the nobles of Xingluo.
It was also from that time that he learned that the iron-blooded Duke of the White Tiger actually had a side of love for children.
Of course, it is not a strange phenomenon for nobles to have three wives and four concubines, if the Zhu family sister of his generation married Duke Baihu and became a duchess, the Zhu family would not strictly prohibit Duke Baihu from taking concubines.
It's just that as a wife, so deliberately suppressing a seemingly non-threatening side room makes people inevitably doubt her bearing. Even if it is a queen, she will not say anything to other concubines who are not welcome.
Zhu Jing knew about the old grievances of the Dai family, but because he knew, he was even more frightened into a cold sweat.
However, it has only been more than ten years, and the Dai family concubine named Huo Yuhao has grown to the point where he doesn't know what level, and his introverted and unfathomable cultivation can't even be seen through by him. And at this moment, Huo Yuhao's profound coercion was no longer restrained, and all of it poured out, and even Zhu Jing couldn't help but shudder.
The other nobles present were also trembling, and the few worshippers who were at the edge of the banquet hall sensed this momentum, their eyes widened, and they looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.
Now Huo Yuhao's intention is obvious, he is putting pressure on the Duchess.
But the reason why he is pressing now is not for the old grudges that he and his mother did not have for many years ago.
The reason for his pressure was that the Duchess had insulted the Sun and Moon Empire in a vain attempt to disrupt the peace between the two countries.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao is the chief ambassador of Xingluo on behalf of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the purpose of the envoy is to send news of peace.
But at such a welcome banquet, a certain high-ranking nobleman from the Star Luo Empire who was so lightweight openly expressed his disdain for this, and the consequences can be imagined.
It can be said that Huo Yuhao is blatant in communiqué personal vendetta.
Although he understood Huo Yuhao's purpose, Zhu Jingju didn't dare to come forward to persuade Huo Yuhao directly, let alone ask many worshippers to come forward and capture him.
The current Huo Yuhao is not only unfathomable in cultivation, but also has a heavy identity.
Zhu Jing knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would really lead to a diplomatic accident with unknown consequences.
Huo Yuhao looked directly at the Duchess with cold eyes like this, and the strong coercion just shook others away, but what hit the Duchess was an unreserved violent wave.
The Duchess's face was already hard to see, and six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, appeared behind her, using all her soul power to resist the coercion from Huo Yuhao, but the great pressure still made her close to suffocation.
Her vicious eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao were still full of deep incomprehension, and those ice-blue eyes reminded the Duchess of an extremely unpleasant past.
Although she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, Huo Yuhao was now an adult, but the viciousness in those ice blue eyes was still so disgusting to her. The only difference is that once upon a time, Huo Yuhao was just an insignificant ant, but now he has grown into an existence that makes her instinctively fearful.
Huo Yuhao didn't make any further moves, but waited for the reactions of the other high-level stars around him.
Now, even without anyone's help, he could easily and silently take revenge on the Duchess, but he didn't choose to do so.
Zhu Jing saw that the Duchess's face became more and more ugly, and secretly said that it was not good, although the incident happened suddenly, he had to stand up and say a few words.
Just as he was about to speak, another deep coercion suddenly rolled in from outside the banquet hall, blending with Huo Yuhao's coercion, and after the two were neutralized, the pressure in the hall suddenly weakened a lot.
Huo Yuhao did not raise his momentum to overshadow the other party, but looked in the direction of the coercion and waited for the arrival of the main master. He knew that with such a big diplomatic accident, it was impossible for the Xingluo royal family to remain indifferent.
Huo Qiu'er stood in place, looking forward to the next development.
Soon, several main figures appeared in the banquet hall, led by the two naturally Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei and White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and the two were surrounded by several Xingluo high-level officials and worshippers.
Seeing Xu Jiawei and Duke Baihu, the Duchess's eyes moved slightly, and her pale face was filled with joy.
A kind-faced worshipper smiled and said, "Today, it is a beautiful day for my Xingluo to invite the sun and the moon to come and drink and talk happily, I wonder if there is any place in my Xingluo Empire that is not well entertained?" ”
Huo Yuhao put away the coercion and said calmly: "We naturally feel the sincerity of the Star Luo Empire, but among the Star Luo Empire, there are a small number of people who seem to be unwilling to let go of the prejudice in their hearts, thinking that the beautiful vision of peace between the two countries cannot resolve the four thousand years of hostility, and they have repeatedly provoked the Sun and Moon Empire. ”
The hostility between the sun and the moon and Xingluo is not only the sun and the moon against the star Luo, but also the star Luo against the sun and the moon, and it can even be said that the hatred of the three mainland countries against the Sun and Moon Empire is also a big force, after all, the Sun and Moon Empire has the strongest national strength, and it has always been pressed on the heads of the three kingdoms, and there are not a few civilian nobles who fight with the Sun and Moon Empire to the end.
Xu Jiawei naturally wouldn't be unaware of such a voice in Star Luo City, but as a ruler, his decision-making should be based on the interests of the overall situation. At present, the national strength of the Star Luo Empire is far inferior to that of the Sun and Moon Empire, and even the alliance of the Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy can be able to compete, so peace talks are the best choice.
During this period of peace talks, Xingluo has to step up his efforts to narrow the gap.
The cause of the conflict, Xu Jiawei had already listened to what Xingyun Douluo said, and now when he saw the pale-faced Duchess again, he had already understood eighty percent in his heart.
I saw him smile slightly, and said smoothly: "Ambassador Sun and Moon don't worry, as you said, it is always a small group of people who have such thoughts, and they cannot stop the general trend of peaceful relations between the two countries." ”
At this moment, a slightly sharp voice sounded.
"Your Majesty—"
The faces of Xu Jiawei and the other ministers changed slightly, and it was none other than the Duchess who made this sharp voice.
"Your Majesty, can't you see it? You just believe that he will become the ambassador of the Sun and Moon Empire? This may be a delaying tactic by the Sun and Moon Empire, so that we can relax our vigilance! ”
Before Huo Yuhao spoke, she preemptively said that with Xu Jiawei, Duke Baihu and others present at the same time, she seemed to have some more confidence.
Xu Jiawei, the always kind king, couldn't help but have a gloom in his eyes, but it wasn't because the Duchess reminded him.
The Duchess's words were absolutely true, but it was because she was correct that she made a big mistake.
Of course, the Star Luo Empire has fully discussed all possible situations in the Sun and Moon Empire, and many of them are the Sun and Moon Empire's deliberate plans to release rumors and pretend to be peaceful.
After all, Huo Yuhao, a foreigner, can climb to such a high position in the Sun and Moon Empire, which is really unconvincing. Maybe even Huo Yuhao was deceived by the Sun and Moon Empire, so he specially sent him to envoy Xingluo.
However, these discussions and coping strategies exist only between Xu Jiawei and his cronies, and should never appear on this occasion. The duchess said it with such fanfare, which made Xu Jiawei frown.
Although the Duchess is Xu Jiawei's half-sister and the wife of the Duke of White Tiger, he doesn't mind sacrificing a duchess to curry favor with the Sun and Moon Empire. Originally, members of the royal family had to have the consciousness of sacrificing for the interests of the royal family.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the Duke of White Tiger immediately drank in a deep voice: "Enough!" ”
The Duchess couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this low voice, and turned her head to look at the Duke of the White Tiger, the husband she loved and feared.
"Apologize to the messenger of the sun and moon." Duke White Tiger's tone was indiscriminate, and he ordered the Duchess in a low and powerful voice.
The Duchess did not apologize, but looked at the White Tiger Duke in a daze. He hadn't seen the White Tiger Duke for a long time, but he didn't expect the first time he saw him again, the White Tiger Duke had such an indifferent attitude.
A flame of disappointment, grievance, jealousy, and resentment burned in the Duchess's eyes, and her voice became sharper: "Dai Hao, you actually asked me to apologize to him. ”
"Ten years ago, you spoke to that slut, and today you are talking to her son!"
"I've been by your side for more than twenty years, and I've given birth to two sons for you, are you still not as good as the two of them in your eyes?"
Years of love turned into hatred in an instant, and the current Duchess, although richly dressed, looked no different from a shrew.
As one of the parties, Huo Yuhao didn't say a word, just looked at the Duchess and the White Tiger Duke in front of him lightly.
It is undeniable that Duke White Tiger is an excellent commander, but he is by no means an excellent husband.
Huo Qiu'er's voice came in her ears: "You did it, right?" ”
Huo Yuhao did not answer.
Huo Qiu'er continued: "I don't believe that anyone would disregard their image on such an occasion. ”
Huo Yuhao said lightly: "What if she is." ”
Huo Qiu'er then added: "I feel your spirit fluctuating. ”
"......," Huo Yuhao finally admitted, "Some people just can't restrain their emotions well, and I'm just adding fuel to the fire a little." ”
The Duchess was an emotional woman, and under the impetus of spiritual suggestion, she threw away all etiquette and said everything in her heart without reservation, regardless of the occasion.
At this moment, Duke White Tiger's face was already extremely pale, and he raised his right hand slightly, seeing that he was about to fan the Duchess's face.
The Duchess was not afraid at all, but instead raised her face and shouted: "Dai Hao, you fight, you will kill me today!" Tell Key Heng and Hua Bin that their mother was beaten to death by their own father! ”
Seeing this, the other Star Luo ministers couldn't help but shrink their necks, and subconsciously took half a step back. On the other hand, the other Sun and Moon Envoys all looked stunned with their mouths half-open.
They didn't expect that the famous Star Luo God of War, Duke White Tiger, would have such a lady with a distinct personality.
Duke White Tiger blushed, the current Duchess can be said to have lost all the face of the Duke of White Tiger Mansion and the Xingluo Royal Family, and she should have stunned her at the beginning to prevent her from talking nonsense. I saw that the green tendons on his right palm were bursting up, and he was really going to fight.
But at this moment, a deep voice came from the darkness.
"That's enough, don't mess around anymore."
The old man's voice instantly stopped the White Tiger Duke.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the ceiling, but there was no figure on the ceiling, and the voice came into the banquet hall from nowhere.
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, he knew that the owner of this voice was the hall master of the Star Luo Offering Hall.
That hall master basically didn't know how to take care of things, but once he spoke, all orders even Xu Jiawei could only obey.
"Yue'er is because she stays alone in the house on weekdays and misses her husband and son too much, so she unfortunately contracted hysteria."
As soon as the words fell, a strong soul power suddenly shone on the Duchess, and she was shocked, and then fainted, and was supported by a maid beside her so that she did not fall.
"From now on, stay in the palace and let Medical Immortal Douluo take care of it personally."
The voice of the worship hall master was no longer heard.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the Duchess coldly.
is called taking care, but it is actually house arrest, it seems that the royal family can't stand it anymore, and gave the duchess a decent end, and has been under house arrest in the palace from now on, which can be regarded as giving Huo Yuhao an explanation.
It's just that this dignity is temporarily given by the royal family, and Huo Yuhao has not given it yet.
In the past two days, the unit has to be busy, and it will be home at eight o'clock tonight. I'm going to work overtime again tomorrow night, so I'll try to work hard......
