Chapter 268 Envoy
His tone was stern and his face was grim, and it was evident that he was determined to deal with the matter.
Zhao Hai was taken aback, raised his head and said, "Back to the emperor, Ziwei Pavilion is the place where the holy woman lives, how can there be a murder case?"
The emperor sighed, and said with a gloomy face, "This is also what I don't understand, I heard that the man still died in the holy woman's room."
After that, he pointed his finger at Zhao Hai and solemnly ordered, "So I let you do everything to find out the real culprit, and you must not let such a female evil person hide in my palace."
Zhao Hai nodded: "The minister knows, the minister will definitely live up to the emperor's trust."
And with that, he withdrew from the temple.
Seeing him leave, the queen provoked a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.
A moment later, King Rong came to Fengyang Palace.
The queen asked someone to make good fragrant tea and prepare his favorite melon and fruit snacks for his arrival.
"Queen Mother, you hurriedly called your sons over, what is the matter?"
Li Wenyuan entered the hall, saluted and asked curiously.
The queen smiled heartily, and made a look to let the idlers retreat, and her mother and son spoke considerately.
"Yuan'er, have you heard about the dead people in Ziwei Pavilion?"
Li Wenyuan nodded, picked up the fragrant tea in his hand, took a sip and said, "Erchen has indeed heard of it, and this person still died in Su Yiyuan's room."
The queen nodded, and said with great interest, "The queen mother knows, haven't you always been interested in the concubine of the Qin Deputy Pavilion Master's family? And she also likes this girl, and every time she sees me, she is very polite."
Li Wenyuan's expression moved.
He did have plans to make Qin Sitong the princess before, but recently, every time he saw Su Yiyuan, he had the urge to snatch her back to the mansion, especially when he saw Li Moxing getting closer and closer to him.
"The queen mother and prime minister of the sixth palace, you still have to worry about the affairs of the son's backyard, the son-in-law is really ashamed."
As soon as she heard what he said, the queen knew what she meant, and wondered, "Don't you want to make her a concubine? I think this girl has a good trick, as long as Su Yiyuan is pulled down from the position of the saint this time, she will be able to ascend to the throne smoothly, and it will also help you in your future planning!"
Li Wenyuan was stunned, looked at her and said, "The queen mother means that someone has been arranged to design Su Yiyuan?"
The queen rolled her eyes and skimmed the corners of her mouth disdainfully.
"This person is dead in her room, can she use the design of the main palace?"
Li Wenyuan looked at her, not knowing whether this matter had anything to do with her, and after a pleasant greeting, he left the palace.
Back at the palace, he called his henchman into the room: "You send someone to find out, what happened to the person who died in Su Yiyuan's room?"
The henchman immediately gave up: "Yes."
When the words fell, he disappeared in a flash.
On the other side, Li Moxing also got the news of the dead man in Ziwei Pavilion.
Bai Yuexiu had already gone back to his Xiaoyao Valley, and there was no reliable person around him to help, and when he was thinking about how to learn the truth, he heard someone from outside report that the Yin Yang Pavilion ghost envoy Su Yubai came to visit.
Li Moxing was stunned, immediately guessed his identity, and immediately went out to greet him.
When I came to the flower hall, I saw Su Yubai drinking tea in the position, and saw him get up and salute.
"I've seen the prince."
Li Moxing nodded, gestured for him to sit, and motioned for the others to stand down.
After a while, there were only two of them left in the flower hall, and Su Yubai said solemnly: "Have you ever heard that the envoys of the Yan Kingdom are coming?"
Li Moxing groaned, nodded and said, "This king knows that he originally planned to come last year, but unexpectedly, winter came early and heavy snow closed the mountain, so King Yan postponed the time of the envoy until now."
Su Yubai put down the teacup and said, "Then does the prince know that there is a Netherworld Sect disciple in Beiyan's mission?"
Li Moxing's eyes were cold: "Isn't there no one in Kyushu who has anything to do with the Heavenly Realm Peak? Why did the Nether Cultists join the Yan Mission?"
Su Yubai said: "This matter was only learned about by Weichen not long ago, the Pavilion Master Sect
I traveled to Kyushu to learn about the movements of other countries. Not only Beiyan, but also Liguo and Tang Guo also have contacts with Tianjing Peak, and they have basically reached a cooperative relationship."
Li Moxing's fists couldn't help but clench.
In his previous life, Heavenly Realm Peak had also risen, but it was only five years later.
He originally wanted to settle his personal grievances and go to the Heavenly Realm Peak Cult to bring disaster to the world, but he didn't expect them to act in advance.
Looking at his expression, Su Yubai knew that he didn't know about it, and said, "The Netherworld Cultist who came with the Yan Kingdom Mission, the prince may have also heard of it, is a monk named Chonglou."
Li Moxing was even more caught off guard, frowning and said, "Didn't Tianjing Peak threaten not to participate in the battle in Kyushu? Why did you suddenly go to another country with the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom?"
Su Yubai's face became a little heavier: "This Weichen is not clear, but within the Four Kingdoms, only our Da Ming has not joined forces with Tianjing Peak, and the current situation is very unfavorable for us."
The four countries of Kyushu have been evenly matched for many years, so they can coexist peacefully, but now as soon as Tianjing Peak intervenes, there is an obvious gap between the forces of all parties, which is not only unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, but also has the meaning of fish and meat.
"When will the envoy of the Yan Kingdom arrive? Does the Emperor know about this?"
Su Yubai shook his head and said with a heavy face: "I may not know, it is the soldiers of Chaotianwei who were sent to greet the mission this time, I don't know if there will be any accidents."
Only then did Li Moxing know that Su Yubai came to him at this time, probably because he was afraid that Su Jiuli would have a conflict with Chonglou.
After all, Chonglou made a big fuss in the Daming Palace a few days ago, and killed many innocent soldiers.
At the same time, in the woods on the outskirts of the capital, Su Jiuli was waiting on the road with a team of men and horses.
After a while, the sound of carriages and horses approached, and Su Jiuli followed the sound and saw the carriage of the Yan State Mission slowly approaching.
The carriage headed by it looked extraordinarily luxurious, it should be the carriage of Bai Ziqi, the prince of Yan Kingdom, and in the two carriages that followed, it should be the other members of the mission.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Yan Guo's convoy immediately stopped, and the coachman said something to the back through the curtain, and someone immediately lifted the curtain to look out.
"Ahead of you, the Ming courtiers who came to greet the mission?"
Su Jiuli immediately turned over and dismounted, arched his hand at him, and said without humility or arrogance: "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to my Ming Dynasty as an envoy, the minister is the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Heavenly Guard, Su Jiuli."
Bai Ziqi glanced at him a little arrogantly, stood on the carriage and said, "This prince personally sent an envoy, and your Ming Dynasty sent a commander of the Heavenly Guard to greet him, isn't it a dog looking down on people?"
Su Jiuli saw a lot of such arrogant people, and said in a calm tone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood, my third son of the Ming Emperor has already led people to line up at the city gate to welcome him, and he has not moved out of the city to greet him, just for fear of disturbing His Royal Highness the Prince."
