The Second Prince's action seemed to have frightened the golden tiger and silver leopard beside him.
Jin Hu stepped forward, gently patted the Second Prince on the back, and said softly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please calm down."
The butler also hurried forward and shook the Second Prince's arm. "Your Highness, the Empress did not do anything to Miss Wuya just now, nor did she say she would execute him. Please calm down and talk to the Empress again."
The Second Prince's eyes suddenly froze, and he stood there in a daze.
[There's definitely something wrong with my second brother. This is too abnormal.]
After a moment, the Second Prince seemed to come to his senses, and his eyes softened.
"Mother, please leave Wuya here." The second prince said weakly.
Seeing her son acting so abnormally, the queen no longer cared about Wu Ya and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, mother promises you."
"Cheng Wan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? What's wrong with you?"
The Queen stepped forward with concern, took the Second Prince's arm, and asked him to sit down. "You must tell me the truth. If you feel unwell, don't hide it."
The Second Prince simply waved his hand and said, "Mother, I'm fine. Perhaps it's just a relapse of an old illness, plus I've been too busy and tired lately."
"As long as Wu Ya stays with me, I will feel much better, so please don't drive her away!"
The queen looked worried and said, "Tell the housekeeper to invite Doctor Yin, or ask an imperial physician to see you."
The Second Prince's complexion had improved somewhat by this time. He waved his hand and said, "I will consult Doctor Yin. Please rest assured, Mother."
"The palace must be very busy lately. Mother, please return to the palace first."
Seeing the Second Prince say this, the housekeeper echoed, "Your Majesty, I will ask Doctor Yin to treat the Second Prince shortly. Please rest assured."
The Queen knew what the Second Prince meant. He was mainly worried that if she stayed here, Wu Ya would be taken away.
Seeing that the Second Prince was so excited when it came to Wu Ya's matter, the Queen did not dare to be too tough and had to take Xia Miaoyuan back first.
On the carriage back to the palace, Xia Miaoyuan repeatedly recalled the actions of Wu Ya and the second prince, and his mind was wandering.
[This Wu Ya is definitely not simple.]
Her acting skills were excellent. On the surface, she pretended to be pitiful, but in reality, she was very scheming. She waited until her second brother was about to arrive, then knelt down and kowtowed, even deliberately begging the Queen Mother for mercy.
[She is deliberately stirring up conflict between her second brother and the Queen Mother.]
[As for her identity, she claimed to be the daughter of the high priest of the Dawa tribe. But aren't women from the Northern Frontier generally straightforward and strong?]
[Look at her whining face. How can she be considered a Northern Frontier woman?]
The queen listened quietly to her daughter's thoughts and silently expressed her agreement in her heart.
She also noticed these strange things about Wu Ya.
Moreover, the second prince is really too abnormal.
Thinking of this, the Queen said, "Miao'er, how do you feel when you see your second brother today?"
Xia Miaoyuan scratched his head: "It seems that he only has eyes for Wu Ya in his heart."
"He doesn't seem to like me as much as before."
[Ah, my second brother has changed so much. Before, he was like a stubborn, unintelligible tree, but now he has become a complete lover.]
"And his reaction, it's like he's being controlled."
When the queen heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Yes, that’s the feeling. The second prince seems to be under control.
I don’t know if Doctor Yin can find out what the problem is. I will send someone to Yin’s Clinic early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation.
…
At the same time, inside the guesthouse.
Dai Viet's Prime Minister Han Lie and Bai Zhou were sitting in the house having a secret conversation.
Bai Zhou lowered his voice and said, "Master Han, Miss Chunyu heard that in addition to doubling the number of guards in the guesthouse, they have also ambushed secret guards everywhere."
"We want to meet Liang Chaozong, so it's probably not a good idea to have him come to the guesthouse."
"If we go out to look for him, I think there's a good chance we'll be followed by the secret guards. What should we do then?"
Han Lie stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Now I just hope that Liang Chaozong doesn't get so cocky as to come to the guesthouse without saying hello."
"As for how to meet, we'll see what happens in the future."
"We have to go to the palace to see Emperor Mingxi tomorrow, so let's all get some rest early."
…
The next morning.
The Dai Viet delegation all got up very early. The dozen or so people who were about to enter the palace to meet the emperor dressed themselves neatly and put on their formal attire.
Soon, three reception envoys from Daxia arrived at the guesthouse to welcome the delegation into the palace.
Although this team was not as large in number or grand in scale as the one that entered the city, it was still very elite.
This time, the prince was still riding in front, while Han Lie and Bai Zhou were sitting in the carriage.
Just as the team reached South Street, a gust of wind blew up the curtain of Han Lie and his carriage.
At this moment, suddenly a small thing flew in from outside the car curtain.
Han Lie and Bai Zhou were so frightened that they cried out.
Both of them thought it was some hidden weapon, but when they looked carefully inside the carriage, they found that it was just a small bamboo tube.
Han Lie seemed to understand something instantly and picked up the bamboo tube and held it in his hand.
Seeing that the guards on both sides did not react, he quickly pulled out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube.
There were two lines of small words written on the note.
Bai Zhou stepped forward, looked at the note, and immediately exchanged glances with Han Lie.
When the carriage reached the next intersection, Han Lie stopped it.
The Great Xia Imperial Guards, who were on guard nearby, hurriedly pulled the reins and came over: "Sir, may I ask why you stopped the train?"
Bai Zhou said gently, "Young General, please inform your reception envoy that our Lord Han made a wish at your country's Enji Temple many years ago."
"Now, after many years, passing by Enji Temple, Lord Han wants to go in and fulfill a wish before leaving."
The young officer of the Imperial Guards looked embarrassed: "This... His Majesty is still waiting."
Han Lie smiled sincerely and said, "Young General, please tell the reception envoy that we only need a quarter of an hour. We won't be late for the meeting with the emperor."
The young general of the imperial guards had no way to make the decision, so he had to ride to the front to ask for instructions.
The Third Prince, Yan Wenjing, and Wang Siqing were all a little surprised when they heard this, but since it wasn't an unreasonable request, it was hard to refuse, so they agreed. They only repeatedly reminded him not to wait too long.
Han Lie and Bai Zhou got off the carriage, followed by two followers, and walked into Enji Temple.
Several guards from Daxia followed the four people from a distance.
