Concubine's poisonous plot

Not long after the person who announced the decree left, Queen Ye in the palace sent something else. It was said that the people in Daxia were tired and worked hard all the way. As a result, the emperor fell ill and did not see them in time. In order to express his apology, he sent these things. I hope the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Daxia will accept it.

Such reasons naturally make it difficult for people in Dong Qi to find fault.

After all, Nanchu had treated them wholeheartedly for so many days, and there was a palace banquet when they arrived. At least compared to Daxia, they still felt somewhat superior.

When the prince and the second prince followed Queen Ye's example and sent things over, the people in Dong Qi felt something was wrong.

What skills do this young couple from the Great Xia'an Prince's Palace have that can make the people of the Nanchu Royal Family pay such attention to them?

The emperor was about to see him after he recovered from his illness. The queen sent things to comfort him, and the prince and the second prince also sent things to express their feelings. Not only the royal family, but also an invitation from the Duke Protector's Palace made the people of Dong Qi feel upset.

They obviously came first, and even sent a princess to come over for marriage. They were extremely sincere. But in the end, Daxia just came to be with the crown prince and crown princess. How could such status be compared with that of a prince and a princess? And they haven't met the emperor since they arrived, so they were accepted by the royal family so easily?

The more Murong Tuo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The prince and concubine must be hiding something from them.

He deliberately stopped the last group of gift-givers, handed over the gold, and asked: "May I ask this noble official how the prince and the prince's concubine got the favor of the palace, and why everyone is giving them things? "

The chamberlain had already been instructed not to get too close to Dong Qi's people. In the end, he just told him that because the imperial concubine had cured the young prince, this could be regarded as fulfilling the regret that the royal family had always had, and now the emperor could be serious. She helped him find a marriage. This move by the crown princess not only saved the protector's wife, it was also a great contribution to the royal family.

Although this statement is a bit suspenseful, it is similar to the gossip that Murong Tuo and the others got. The emperor has been grateful for the heroic feat of the Duke of Guo in protecting them out of the city over the years, so the affairs of the Duke of Guo's Mansion are indeed of concern.

This Crown Princess is really lucky.

He then thought about it, could it be that Mr. Mo had specifically told her about this before, so she was already prepared to treat the young father-in-law?

If that's the case, if Daxia sent someone to negotiate this time, it's also a conspiracy, and it's all calculated.

Now the only thing left that can turn the situation around is to allow his sister to marry the young father-in-law.

After all, my sister is also a serious princess of Dong Qi. It is ridiculous that she still needs to fight for her marriage.

He asked cautiously: "I wonder who your Majesty has chosen for the young master?"

The chamberlain understood his thoughts in an instant and said: "In the past few years, there were a few candidates of similar age and suitable family backgrounds. However, the situation of the young master was not good at that time, and the Duke's wife was kind. I don’t want to delay someone else’s daughter, so I’ve put it on hold. It’s really hard to find a suitable woman among the right people... so the emperor and the queen are also having a headache..."

The chamberlain talks a lot. This is beyond the scope of what a person working in the palace should say to these distinguished guests from other countries. But someone has warned him before, of course he should know how to say it, and what Murong Tuo just gave him You can keep the gold yourself.

After Murong Tuo got this answer, he felt that he should be prepared.

My sister is undoubtedly the most suitable one due to her family background, and she can represent the relationship between Dong Qi and Nan Chu.

"Thank you, officer, please..."

After the people in the palace left, Murong Tuo told Murong Qingwu when he returned that he must find a way to go to the banquet at the Protector's Mansion and that he must fight for this marriage no matter what.

Murong Qingwu heard this and asked what happened. After Murong Tuo's introduction, she became anxious.

She began to be jealous, why on earth was this princess?

She also believed what her brother said. It was possible that they had made up their minds from the beginning to use the young master as a breakthrough. This kind of invitation to win people's hearts would definitely be disgusted if the Duke's wife knew about it.

When the time comes, those who expose them may gain the favor of the Duke's wife.

At this time, Murong Qingwu did not feel that her idea was dangerous. If she wanted to win the position of the young master's wife, she would naturally have to use some means.

That night, everyone in Dongqi seemed to be quiet, and no one came to cause trouble for the entire afternoon. This was a bit out of character.

However, Huangfu Yunzhao and Xiao Jinyao have no time to talk to them now, after all, they have to enter the palace tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright. The day here was longer than that in Daxia, so when they got up, it was already busy outside.

After breakfast, they tidied up again, and the carriage from the palace to pick them up arrived.

Seeing that they were about to go out, Dong Qi's people still didn't come over to talk, as if they didn't recognize them after one night.

Hu Yuelong originally wanted to go along, after all, he was the official from the Ministry of Rites responsible for the handover this time.

However, when he saw that Xiao Changfeng did not move, nor did he indicate that he would follow him into the palace, he understood at that time that it was not necessary for him to follow this time. The Emperor of Nanchu had already said that the people he wanted to summon were the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. It’s not just a palace banquet to entertain the Daxia envoys.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are here, just don't worry..."

Hu Yuelong's words sounded awkward.

However, Xiao Jinyao and Huangfu Yunzhao did not care about this. Instead, they asked them to stay well in the post house, or they could ask their officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to take them around. They should not go out with others casually, lest they be treated as inferiors because their status was not high enough. People command.

Hu Yuelong and Xiao Changfeng knew that this person was from Dong Qi.

After the carriage set off, Xiao Jinyao and Huangfu Yunzhao were a little confused.

"I don't know how long it will take to get out of the palace today. Although everyone in the palace knows our identities, the palace and the chamberlains still need to pay more attention to who knows who is the spy of which minister..."

Huangfu Yunzhao never felt that he was shameful, but he didn't want Daxia to know the news too early, which would affect his revenge.

Xiao Jinyao grabbed her hand and said, "Uncle, of course, has a way to prevent it. He must have experienced a lot of thrilling things to be able to take back the throne in one fell swoop over the years. He must be able to take these precautions."
