Chapter 281 Conspiracy Again
When the Holy Envoy of Nanyue arrived in Xiajing, he had already heard that Feng Feixu had been kneeling in front of the Xixia King's study for several days, but the Xixia King had never seen any news from Feng Feixu.
After Furong heard the news, she said with some satisfaction: "This Xixia King will not dare to anger us, Nanyue."
Handan glanced at her and said nothing.
When the Holy Envoys of Nanyue came to Beijing, the person in charge of receiving them, Lord Ma, was already waiting at the entrance of the post house. When he saw the Holy Envoys, he hurried forward and smiled apologetically: "The Holy Envoys must be tired after the long journey. Come into the post house and rest."
Furong saw the Xixia official being so humble to her, and her vanity was satisfied again: "Then go in and rest first."
Lord Ma looked at Furong's face and asked tentatively: "Holy Envoy, the emperor already knows about Princess Feixu's matter. Why don't we go to the palace later and explain this matter clearly?"
Furong was about to agree when Handan spoke up: "This news will probably be passed back to South Vietnam soon. The Queen will definitely know about this. When we return, you will be responsible for reporting this to the Queen."
Furong has always been good at shirking responsibility. This matter is of great importance and involves the Princess of Xixia. If she doesn't handle it well, she will definitely be punished by the Queen.
Thinking of this, Furong immediately changed her tone: "Your Excellency should discuss this matter with Holy Envoy Handan."
Lord Ma's heart sank. This Holy Envoy Handan didn't look like someone who could be easily fooled. But for the sake of his master, he still went up to him. "Holy Envoy Handan, when are we going to enter the palace?"
Handan replied calmly, "Just now the Lord himself said that we are all exhausted after the long journey. Let's rest for a few days before entering the palace."
Lord Ma felt bitter. If the Holy Envoy did not enter the palace, it would mean Feng Feixu would have to kneel for a few more days. It seemed that this Holy Envoy Handan was deliberately trying to embarrass Feng Feixu.
Even though he knew this, Lord Ma didn't dare to say anything and could only respond: "Then the Holy Envoys will rest for a few days."
After everyone was settled, Lord Ma immediately went back to report.
Furong looked at Handan's unhurried appearance and asked her, "What are you thinking? Why don't you enter the palace now?"
"What's the point of entering the palace now?" Handan asked, "Are you forced to pretend that you don't care about the birthday gift?"
"But if we wait a few days, nothing will change about this matter."
“Have you forgotten that Princess Dayu will be arriving in Xijing in a few days? Feng Feixu was the one who had the conflict with them first, and we were the ones who were implicated. The real victim has not appeared, so we are inevitably weak and outnumbered.” Handan’s idea was very simple. After Su Chenyu arrived in Xijing, people from both countries would go to meet the King of Xixia. What’s wrong with letting Feng Feixu kneel for a few more days?
Furong thought about the purpose of her trip and became a little hesitant. Feng Feixu was Feng Huailue's sister, and Feng Huailue was on good terms with the Black Mountain Underground Palace. If she really held on to Feng Feixu's mistakes, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to the Black Mountain Underground Palace?
Handan saw Furong's hesitation and said, "Furong, we came to Xixia on the orders of the Emperor and the Saint. If we admit defeat in this matter, then Nanyue will definitely be looked down upon by other countries."
Furong was suddenly enlightened: "Forget it, I won't ask about this matter, you handle it."
After saying this, Furong walked out directly. Handan watched her leaving, stroking the rim of the teacup with her fingers. It seemed that Furong and the Xixia man really had a private connection, but who was this person?
Furong returned to the room and just closed the door. When she turned around, she saw the third guardian sitting on a chair wearing a black mask with gold edges: "Why are you here?"
