Murong Xuan took his adopted son Gong Yichu to the East Palace and successfully rescued the hostages. Murong Xuan stayed by his side and Gong Yichu was unable to go to the rescue.
This time the ancient Wu Kingdom sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty, King Zheng would not be so stupid as to hurt the princess of the ancient Wu Kingdom.
Now that Dieyi's identity has been exposed, Gongyichu also believed that Murong Xuan also knew his identity, but it was unbelievable that he didn't reveal it.
"Father, clear out all the people in the east hall."
"Chu'er, take the people and rush to meet King Zheng."
Si Wushang watched Amai take Man'er away. It was not convenient to untie Yingluo's acupuncture points at this time, so he ordered someone to take a thicker thin quilt and put it on her.
This place is deep in the mountains, so there must be a carriage going down the mountain. I ordered someone to prepare a carriage.
At this time, Murong Xuan came to return to life with his adopted son. Seeing his daughter who was safe and sound in King Zheng's arms, he said, "The princess is injured."
"General Murong, don't worry, the princess is just sleeping."
Gongyichu's eyes fell on the corpses on the ground, the captured Dieyi and Mai Fusheng. Dieyi just glanced at him and did not speak.
Gongyi didn't see Man'er and Amai at first, so he asked, "Prince Zheng, why didn't you see Mai's guard?"
"The princess of the ancient Wu Kingdom has a noble status, but she was coerced to come here. Mai Guard has sent the princess away."
Gongyi's first eyes were full of confusion, but he couldn't get into the details. In addition to finding a way to save Dieyi, he also had to pass the news to Young Master Arnold as soon as possible so that he could prepare.
The matter has been resolved and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. "General Murong, it will be dawn in a few hours. This matter is related to the relationship between the two countries. I am currently detained in the military camp. I will make a decision after reporting it to the emperor."
"yes!"
When the group arrived at Yingchuan City, Murong Xuan personally escorted them back to the military camp to guard them, while Si Wushang led the people straight into the city.
Cheng Feng was very puzzled, "My lord, if you detain people in a military camp, even with Murong Xuan guarding you, Gong Yi Chu is a hidden danger."
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
The carriage did not enter the palace, but went directly to Prince Zheng's Mansion. He was still worried about Yingluo, so he sent him back to Qingfeng Garden in person, and ordered Zhen'er to take good care of her.
He led Cheng Feng straight to the palace. At this time, in the royal study, the emperor was also upset. King Zheng made the whole court restless because of a woman.
Murong Xuan and Prince Zheng did not attend the morning court. The crown prince of the ancient Wu Kingdom had been in trouble all morning and had a headache.
The eunuch reported: "Prince Zheng has arrived!"
Si Wuyue was looking for him when she said in a cold voice: "Xuan come in!"
Si Wushang walked into the imperial study and saw the emperor's gloomy face. He took the initiative to come forward and salute: "Prince Zheng has met the emperor!"
"You still have the nerve to come see me!"
It is not difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts. He led troops to surround the embassy and consulate but did not prevent them from traveling. The crown prince only resisted at first and then became quiet.
The emperor must have gone through a hard fight in today's morning court, but he directly found a seat and sat down. He reached out and picked up the bitter tea on the table and poured a cup.
"I'm a little thirsty after a hard night's battle. I'll wait until my brother drinks some tea to moisten his throat before presenting himself to the Emperor!"
Si Wuyue just looked at Prince Zheng carefully. His face was slightly bearded and stained by travel dust, but the corners of his clothes were stained with mottled scarlet. "Where did Prince Zheng go last night?"
Si Wushang just put the tea to his lips without drinking it, just to alleviate the emperor's dissatisfaction.
"Last night, my brother and General Murong captured the spies of the ancient Wu Kingdom. Now they are detained in the military camp, waiting for the emperor to be punished."
Si Wuyue was in a dilemma. If he let him go, he would be letting the tiger go back to the mountain. If he killed him, he would be demonstrating against the ancient Wu Kingdom and stirring up trouble.
If Si Wushang hadn't learned from Amai today that the ancient Wu Kingdom had any intention of making peace, he would have weighed things like the emperor did.
"Does Your Majesty know the purpose of the ancient Wu State's mission to Cheng Han?"
"Of course it's revenge!"
"No! The ancient Wu Kingdom came here to make peace! To marry the princess to the emperor as his concubine."
Si Wuyue's headache worsened after hearing this, and his face turned pale. Not to mention his physical condition, the princess of the ancient Wu Kingdom at the banquet was cunning and eccentric. If she entered the palace, there would be no peace and she would be a disaster.
Si Wushang saw the emperor's solemn expression and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have already solved it for you."
"It's rare that Prince Zheng has the heart to share my worries and is willing to marry that unruly princess as his concubine." Si Wuyue completely misunderstood Prince Zheng's meaning.
These words gave Si Wushang a chill in his heart, and he explained: "It's not what the emperor thought. Last night, my brother captured four people, and the princess was among them. She was not willing to marry the emperor, and she only wanted to marry him.
I have feelings for the guards. My brother simply lets them elope."
"Second brother did a very good job in this matter! Very well!" Si Wuyue praised.
Si Wushang came to see the emperor because he had other matters. There was Gongyichu lurking in Chenghan, and he wanted to use the emperor's help to get rid of Gongyichu.
"Your Majesty, you have ordered General Wu Yang to go to the military camp and be responsible for secretly guarding the spies."
"My brother, do you want to get rid of Gongyichu? That's fine! King Zheng will eliminate the spies and bring peace to the Han Dynasty. King Zheng is the blessing of the Han Dynasty and the luck of the people. I have King Zheng as my assistant."
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Since some things cannot be avoided but faced, it is better to take action than to be attacked everywhere. "Your Majesty, since it was my younger brother who led his men to imprison the crown prince of the ancient Wu Kingdom, I will leave this matter to my younger brother."
Do it, my brother, please retire!"
Si Wushang wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible, but he didn't know if Yingluo's eyesight had recovered. Before that, he had to go to the embassy or consulate.
At this time, Arnold already knew that Dieyi and Mai Fusheng had been arrested, and his sister's whereabouts were unknown. "What a bunch of idiots!"
His Highness's temper was so bad that no one dared to come forward. Someone outside the door reported that King Zheng had arrived. It was King Zheng who captured his men last night. Now Man'er's whereabouts are missing, and all plans have been ruined.
Arnold and others rushed to the front hall. Seeing Prince Zheng sitting in the hall with a leisurely expression, the anger on his brows became more solemn.
"Since King Zheng was ordered to protect me, he was guilty of dereliction of duty by leaving his post without permission yesterday!"
King Zheng stood up calmly and said warmly: "It was rude of me to leave without saying goodbye yesterday. However, I have obtained the whereabouts of the spies, and I went to arrest them under orders. Now that the spies have been caught, I am ordered to do so."
Come and withdraw the troops upon the emperor’s order.”
Arnold's eyes were stained with blood red, and he pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at King Zheng, "Cheng Han led the troops to besiege, and just wanted to get through with a few words. It would be too disrespectful to the ancient Wu Kingdom. This is a provocation! Our ancient country is not vast.
, but absolutely not afraid of a battle with Cheng Han!"
Si Wushang looked at the green-edged sword in front of him, but it was a good sword. "It seems that the envoy has misunderstood. It is not a provocation for me to protect the envoy under the emperor's order! But I have something to tell you. The guards in my palace
Amai, please tell this king a message to the envoy. He said that he did not want the princess of your country to jump into the fire pit! So he took the princess and left."
