Chapter 77 The Prime Minister and Xiao Junze's Transaction
"My lord, I've lost you!" The secret guard knelt down nervously and spoke again. "It's a master."
Xiao Junze frowned, master?
He is familiar with all the famous masters on the Fengtian Ranking. This person has been monitoring from the eaves for a long time, so he must be a middle-level master.
If it weren't for Xiao Chengen's side...
"The direction of action of the man in black is Shen's Mansion, could it be Xifeng under the Prime Minister?" There is such a skill in Kyoto. Apart from the Nanjiang girl under Xiao Chengen, the only one beside Shen Qingzhou is Xifeng.
The figure of that person looked like a man at first glance, definitely not a woman from southern Xinjiang.
"Shen Qingzhou..." Xiao Junze narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "No, Shen Qingzhou's people will not be so stupid. The envoys of Dayu have entered the capital, and I have been keeping a close eye on them for this period of time!"
Looking at Chaoyang with a cold gaze, Xiao Junze suspected that the man in black was coming towards Chaoyang.
Chaoyang stood outside the door, clenching her hands nervously, Xiao Junze suspected her...
…
Palace, banquet.
Emperor Long held a banquet in honor of Dayu's envoys, and the hall was very lively.
The dancers danced in the hall, with graceful figures and excellent dancing postures.
The envoy from Dayu took his seat. Several of them looked at each other, and someone raised his head. "We are here to pay homage to His Majesty Fengtian Long Emperor on the emperor's order. Why doesn't His Majesty come so late?"
Several people knew clearly that Emperor Long must be terminally ill.
"This..." The old eunuch wanted to explain nervously, but he couldn't figure out the situation on Emperor Long's side.
"Several envoys have come from afar, how about I give them a good reception on behalf of my father?" Xiao Junze walked into the hall with Chaoyang, his voice cold.
The envoy of Dayu's eyes fell on Xiao Junze's face, and he understood that this was the deposed prince who was about to resume his position as prince.
This is the future new emperor of Fengtian.
"I heard that Emperor Long intends to restore Prince Li to the position of Prince Li. I, Yan'er, would like to congratulate the Prince on behalf of His Majesty Dayu." The envoy leading the charge was neither humble nor overbearing, but his attitude was sincere.
Xiao Junze smiled lightly. "Thank you."
"This must be your princess, the most beautiful woman in Fengtian Kyoto? When I saw her today, I was really shocked."
The morning sun blows and we greet each other with dignity, without losing our status. "The envoy is full of praise."
Xiao Junze glanced sideways at Chaoyang, this woman...but she never had to worry about being embarrassed when she was taken out.
After exchanging a few words, we each took our seats.
"Your Majesty... the person on the roof today is the envoy named Yan'er." Chaoyang lowered his voice and spoke, his eyes falling on the envoy's face again.
As a result, the other party was also looking at her with burning eyes.
Chaoyang's heart trembled, those eyes were so familiar.
But that face and voice... were strange and strange.
This envoy named Yan'er was the leader of the envoys of Yu Dynasty. He had a great aura and was not inferior to Xiao Junze even in front of him.
But that face... is too ordinary.
Ordinary looks that people cannot remember at first glance.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Junze frowned.
"There was a slight sound of copper bells on his waist. It should be the sound of the ornaments hanging on his waist. When the man from the palace escaped, Chaoyang also heard the slight sound." Chaoyang confirmed.
Xiao Junze narrowed his eyes and stared at the envoy opposite.
"Your ears are really valuable." Xiao Junze raised his lips with satisfaction. Chaoyang could always bring surprises to him.
Dayu's envoy visited the palace at night, obviously to collect information.
Chaoyang lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Junze seemed to be praising her, but it made her feel chilled.
Bai Li is right, exposing too much edge will make others greedy.
"So far, the envoy has not shown any malice." After a long silence, Chaoyang spoke in a low voice, deliberately raising his hand to Xiao Junze's ear, creating a loving scene of a couple whispering.
Across the table, the envoy's hands were clenched tightly, and his breathing seemed to be stagnant.
He stared at Xiao Junze with cold eyes, and the cup in his hand made a slight sound.
"The Prime Minister is here!"
Chaoyang felt a strong killing intent, but before he could find it, Shen Qingzhou arrived.
His breathing stagnated for a moment, and Chaoyang's whole body went numb when he heard the Prime Minister's arrival.
Feeling Chaoyang's trembling breath, Xiao Junze squeezed Chaoyang's hand silently under the table. "Don't embarrass me."
He originally wanted Chaoyang not to be afraid of Shen Qingzhou, but the words would definitely change his taste.
I was annoyed as to why I had to meddle in my own business, and I secretly tried my best in annoyance.
Chaoyang's eyes were red with pain, and his teeth were chattering.
Xiao Junze tortured her again...
Xiao Junze forgot that he was still squeezing Chaoyang's hand, suddenly let go, and took a deep breath.
Doesn't this woman even know how to say a word in pain?
Chaoyang breathed quickly and clenched his fingers tremblingly, slowly relieving the pain.
"I heard that Princess Li is the Prime Minister's daughter. The Prime Minister is really lucky." The leader of the envoy lowered his voice, and the air pressure condensed.
Shen Qingzhou sat down and bowed to Dayu's envoy. "Thank you."
Chaoyang clenched his hands hard, not daring to raise his head to look into Shen Qingzhou's eyes.
"Yunrou, when you marry into the prince's palace, you must work hard to spread your wings for the prince." Shen Qingzhou sat on the sunny side, as if to warn.
After all, Xiao Junze will soon be the prince, and there is no fault in having a wife. This is the best excuse for Xiao Junze to abolish her position as princess.
"The princess is still young, and I cannot bear the pain of giving birth to a child. This matter is not urgent." Xiao Junze came to Chaoyang's rescue and looked at Shen Qingzhou coldly.
Shen Qingzhou raised his lips, but his eyes were on the envoy opposite.
"The new emperor of Dayu has ascended the throne, and everything in the court is waiting to be revitalized. The envoys have come to me to worship Heaven. Do you have anything to ask for?" Shen Qingzhou changed the topic and focused on the envoys of Dayu.
Chaoyang took a deep breath. The game between several foxes in this hall was really... wonderful.
Several envoys did not say anything. Shen Qingzhou, the host, was too arrogant, and Yanran looked like a strong man who had enough troops to make the people rich.
The leader of the envoys sneered, wondering how long they could last in Fengtian.
"Your Majesty invites you all to enjoy the lanterns in the imperial garden." The eunuch walked in from outside the palace, his sharp voice breaking the condensed atmosphere.
Shen Qingzhou glanced at Xiao Junze thoughtfully and said lightly, "My lord, can you lend me a step?"
Chaoyang nervously held Xiao Junze's hand, she was afraid of Shen Qingzhou...
She couldn't figure out Shen Qingzhou's intentions, and she didn't know why he suddenly wanted to talk to Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze signaled Chaoyang to rest assured, walked forward quickly, and walked to the other courtyard's path with Shen Qingzhou.
"I wonder why the prime minister is looking for this king?" Xiao Junze wanted to know what kind of medicine this old fox was selling.
"Dayu's envoy has arrived. Naturally, the matter between Your Majesty and Prince Yu cannot be hidden. If Dayu takes the opportunity to send troops to disturb the border, what will the prince do?" When there is internal and external chaos, how can Xiao Junze calm it down?
"The Prime Minister is giving me a difficult problem?" Xiao Junze clenched his hands hard.
"I am here to solve a problem for the prince." Shen Qingzhou smiled meaningfully and spoke again. "If the prince can temporarily put aside his hatred and focus on the family and the country, I am willing to assist the prince wholeheartedly to solve the internal problem of Prince Yu.
Help you ascend the throne and become emperor."
Xiao Junze was shocked. Is Shen Qingzhou crazy?
Why did he suddenly say that he wanted to assist him?
"Prime Minister, you think Junze will believe it?" Xiao Junze didn't believe it.
"I, Shen Qingzhou, have devoted my life to serving heaven. No matter who becomes the emperor, it means nothing to me." Shen Qingzhou looked at Xiao Junze with a smile.
"What does the Prime Minister want?" Xiao Junze is not a fool. There is no free meal in the world.
"I want Chaoyang's life..."
…
Royal Garden.
Chaoyang walked to the imperial garden with the important officials and people in the harem.
"Well..." Suddenly, a big hand covered Chaoyang's mouth and pulled him behind the rockery without anyone noticing.
