Chapter 15: A Clever Showdown

"Thank you, you go to Yan Kingdom in person and give this letter to the emperor of Yan Kingdom. Xie Chengxuan handed Xie Ci a letter, Xie Ci took it, and the envelope was written with the words "His Majesty Yan Guo personally opened" in a neat and neat small seal.

"That emperor Lao'er didn't dare to embarrass Su Wanning anymore when he saw my jade pendant and this letter, but you must wait until Su Wanning is released from the prison and returns safely to the Prime Minister's Mansion before you come back. ”

"Yes. He put away the envelope and took his orders.

"Come back!"

Xie Ci was just about to leave, but Xie Chengxuan called him back again.

Different from the serious look just now, Xie Chengxuan's current expression was slightly unnatural.

"Ahem. Xie Chengxuan coughed, and he squirmed as if he was shy and took out a wooden box and a letter from his sleeve.

The wooden box was exquisitely made, and the wooden box made of rosewood was painted dark brown, and it was carved with the pattern of red plum blossoms.

There was nothing special about that letter, not even a word of opening.

Xie Chengxuan seemed to be embarrassed, this was the first time he had given something to a woman.

"There are a few hairpins in this box, all of which are for Su Wanning, I think girls should like these things. You tell her that the hairpins she wore before were very old-fashioned, and they were all cheap broken copper and iron, which were not worthy of Miss Su's identity at all, so let her stop wearing them, and she would wear them in the future. ”

"This letter, you must deliver it to Su Wanning, if you don't deliver it, or peek on the road......"

Xie Ci trembled and held the wooden box and the letter, holding it like a holy decree, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that if he missed the slightest mistake, this ancestor would kill him.

"The minister didn't dare to look at it. Xie Yu hurriedly replied.

Xie Chengxuan smiled evilly, "Also, if she asks who sent these things, you will say that 'Tang Yu' sent them, understand?"

"Yes......" Xie Ci complained in his heart that His Highness did not speak of martial virtues, and actually deceived other girls, and actually used a fake name.

But Xie Ci knew in his heart that Xie Chengxuan really liked that woman, because he had never attached so much importance to a woman, more precisely, Su Wanning was the only woman Xie Chengxuan valued, and it seemed that soon, the East Palace would usher in a new hostess.

"Go ahead. Xie Chengxuan waved his hand.

"Yes!" Xie Ci was like an amnesty, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly said goodbye to Xie Chengxuan and rushed to Yan Country lightly.

"Su Qing, if you still come to intercede for your daughter, then there is no need to say it again. ”

A middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe was reviewing the folds, and Su Wangjie had been kneeling on the ground for a long time.

But the person on the dragon chair didn't even raise his eyes, he kept reviewing the folds, and when he saw that Su Wangjie was so tired that he couldn't kneel, he said a word.

"I personally gave the crown prince and your daughter a marriage, but your daughter disgraced the royal family and slapped me in the face directly, I have already said: Give Su Wanning death, the Su family is not guilty, this matter is not negotiable, you don't have to intercede for Su Wanning anymore. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister came this time not to intercede for Wanning, but to give His Majesty something. Su Wangjie's old voice sounded.

"Oh, what is it?"

Su Wangjie trembled and took out the jade pendant from his sleeve, and the eunuch Li Gonggong, who was following the emperor, had a very strong look, and he hurriedly took the jade pendant.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. Gonggong Li presented the jade pendant.

The emperor was still reviewing the fold, and glanced at it, but he only glanced at it and his face changed, put down the fold that had been approved, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and then looked shocked.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" The emperor's expression was a little flustered, obviously he also recognized this jade pendant, and he also knew that the owner of this jade pendant was Xie Chengxuan!

"Back to Your Majesty, that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Wan Ning was alone in a room with a man, and this jade pendant was that person's thing, and the man gave the jade pendant to Wan Ning and said to transfer it to you. Su Wangjie knelt on the ground, and the old man's voice was very calm.

In fact, with Su Wangjie's old scheming, he only glanced at it, and knew that the emperor was already panicking, he was afraid of Xie Chengxuan, as long as he recognized this jade pendant, then he would not dare to give his daughter to death.

"Su Qing, do you know the origin of this jade pendant?"

"This is the jade pendant of Xie Chengxuan, the crown prince of Qi State. Su Wangjie's voice was calm.

"How did your daughter and him meet?"

"The man was seriously injured and left in the Su family, but it was Wanning who saved him. ”

"So he developed affection for your daughter, and Xie Chengxuan even gave this jade pendant to Su Wanning in order to keep her. ”

"......" Su Wangjie was silent, why did he think that His Majesty's words were not a simple question?

He weighed left and right and said: "The man said that as long as the minister presents this jade pendant to you, you will not give Wan Ning the death penalty, and the minister thinks that he has no affection for Wan Ning, just to repay Wan Ning for healing him." ”

"Su Qing, have you ever wondered why he came to Yan Kingdom, and why he was injured in Yan Kingdom?"

The cause of the war five years ago was because Xie Chengxuan was assassinated in Yan State, and now, Xie Chengxuan was wounded in Yan State again, could it be that Xie Chengxuan wanted to start another war against Yan State? Or did he come to Yan State to find out the enemy's situation and wait for an opportunity to start a war?

Su Wangjie felt more and more that something was wrong, and he was also deeply worried about Xie Chengxuan's arrival, "The minister thinks that although the Qi State won the war five years ago, but it has been fighting for many years, and the Qi State is poorer and weaker than the Yan State, and Xie Chengxuan will not go to war." ”

Five years ago, although he won the war with Xie Chengxuan's outstanding military talent, the Qi State has been losing the battle for the past three years, so the Qi State is hungry and cold, and the people are living in dire straits, so Su Wangjie thinks that Xie Chengxuan will not act rashly and save the backyard from catching fire.

"Su Qing, you must know that Xie Chengxuan is the biggest enemy of Yan Kingdom, he has always been eyeing Yan Kingdom, what if he has to go to war?"

"This ......"

"Su Qing, assuming that Xie Chengxuan's crown princess is from Yan Kingdom, and Xie Chengxuan has a wife of Yan Kingdom on his side to persuade him, do you say, will Xie Chengxuan still start a war against Yan Kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, Wanning has only had a one-sided relationship with Xie Chengxuan, Xie Chengxuan is not close to women, how can she marry Wanning?" Su Wangjie was shocked, and he hurriedly pleaded.

It was not that there was no other country to send women to Xie Chengxuan, but what was the result? The result was that those women were directly dismembered by Xie Chengxuan's five horses and thrown back, how could he watch his daughter go to death? And even if Xie Chengxuan was interested in Su Wanning, how could he bear to let his daughter marry such a demon?

"Su Qing, if he has no intention of your daughter, how could he give her this jade pendant in order to save her? ”

"Your Majesty, Wanning must not go, please take back your order. ”

"Prime Minister Su, what are you anxious about? Did I order Su Wanning to go and kiss?" the emperor smiled cunningly.
