Watching the carriage leave, Nanny Xu looked worried, hoping that Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing would be safe and sound this time.
Gingko patted Madam Xu and said, "Madam, look at the attitude of the princess and her husband. They are not going to meet the King of Xixia. I'm afraid they are going to beat Xixia up. Don't worry. Is our princess someone who will suffer a loss?"
Aunt Xu glared at her and said, "You are also a talker."
Ginkgo smiled and said, "Mr. General, please don't worry."
It took less than half an hour to drive from Jinyan Tower to the imperial palace. Soon, the carriage stopped at the palace gate. Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing got out of the carriage, and Mucheng and Muyuan also got off their horses. Lian Shizhao stood behind them, looking more like an attendant than an envoy.
The palace servant guarding the door immediately came forward to greet them and led Su Chenyu and others into the palace.
During the whole process, Su Chenyu and the other three followed the palace servant without looking away, and walked forward with an expressionless face.
The palace maid wanted to say something, but she was so oppressed by the aura of the few people that she couldn't say a word. Her calves were shaking. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart that Su Chenyu didn't seem to come to celebrate the birthday, but rather to mourn.
In the Qinqi Palace, the King of Western Xia, royal relatives and ministers were all waiting for the envoys from Dayu and Nanyue. When they heard the palace servants report that the envoys from Dayu had arrived, they all stood up straight, waiting to see the show.
Su Chenyu and the others walked in, and under the gaze of everyone, they stood in the middle of the hall, raised their hands and bowed: "Greetings, King Xixia."
The King of Xixia was somewhat displeased when he saw that Su Chenyu did not kneel down, and asked, "Is this the etiquette of your Dayu?"
The King of Western Xia was not a good person, especially when he started questioning others, he would do so with an irresistible sense of coercion.
Under such pressure, Su Chenyu looked up at the King of Xixia with a normal expression: "Excuse me, King Xixia, what etiquette do you want us to follow?"
The King of Xixia did not answer. The Third Prince Feng Zhaolin, who was standing on the other side, asked, "Is it not possible to even kneel before His Majesty?"
Baili Yanqing looked at Feng Zhaolin and said, "Dayu is not a vassal state of Xixia, why should we kneel?"
Feng Zhaolin had no answer, so Feng Huailue said something malicious: "A guest is a guest. If the guest doesn't want to kneel, then he doesn't have to kneel."
This was said as if Su Chenyu and the others were so rude.
Su Chenyu took a look at Feng Huailue and said, "I think this is the eldest prince. Since I came to Xixia, I have heard the most about the eldest prince's reputation for virtue and ability. Seeing is believing."
These words made the King of Xixia's eyes darken a few shades. If a prince was praised by the people for his ability and virtue, wasn't it a mockery of the emperor's incompetence?
Feng Huailue didn't expect Su Chenyu to point the finger at him directly. He felt bitter in his heart: "These are just exaggerated words. Princess, please don't believe them."
"Does it matter whether this princess believes it or not?" What matters is whether the King of Western Xia will care.
Being scolded by Su Chenyu again, Feng Huailue could only smile and smooth things over: "Princess Fengyi really likes to joke."
Su Chenyu ignored Feng Huailue and turned to the King of Xixia: "King of Xixia, we are here to seek justice today."
Seek justice?
As soon as these three words came out, everyone almost burst into laughter. The King of Xixia looked at Su Chenyu, and his tone was indistinguishable from joy or anger: "I wonder what kind of justice Princess Fengyi wants?"
"Princess Feixu insulted our Dayu envoys, and Princess Xinning tried to murder our Dayu soldiers!"
