Chapter 215 Envoy Liu: ...

Although the Chen State delegation had thought that the Xia State was not easy to deal with before they came, they did not expect them to be so powerful.

In ten days, they negotiated three times and were beaten badly most of the time. Not only could they not get the two cities back, they almost lost a lot of supplies.

So when they received the letter from Chen State again, the Chen State delegation was depressed and did not dare to reply.

Someone said bitterly: "It's too difficult. No matter how well we speak, it can't compare to the murderous aura that the generals of Daxia have unleashed in this battle."

The other members of the delegation sighed in sympathy.

Seeing that his colleagues were exhausted, Envoy Liu took a sip of tea indifferently.

She was not in a hurry. Negotiations were never done overnight. A true hunter should lie in wait for the best opportunity.

Envoy Liu soothed them, "Everyone, let's fight steadily and steadily. Before the next negotiation, let's try to use Xia Guo's national teacher as a breakthrough point..."

Envoy Li suddenly stood up and said: "We can no longer fight steadily. We are almost at the point of retreat. I will use my last resort. I have decided to contact the Queen Mother."

Envoy Liu was startled and asked, "What?!"

She stood up suddenly: "No. It's too early." This is their trump card. As long as this line is used, the State of Chu will have a reason to annex a piece of land on the border!

Envoy Liu even thought that the higher-ups were crazy! She had originally planned to never use this line again!

However, Envoy Li ignored him and left. His younger brother followed him.

Envoy Liu frowned, and she prepared to discuss with her companions how to stop it.

At this moment, news suddenly came that the Minister of Rites wanted to see him.

Envoy Liu walked out and looked up to find the Minister of Rites standing at the door, smiling at her.

Envoy Liu felt a sense of mystery in her heart, and she bowed and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?!"

The Minister of Rites smiled and said, "Please speak in private."

Envoy Liu sensed something was wrong.

She subconsciously took a half step back and said, "Sir, please speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Are you sure?" The Minister of Rites approached Envoy Liu and said in a voice so low that it was barely audible, "Sir, you don't want your identity as a woman to be discovered, do you?"

Envoy Liu's pupils trembled.

Who leaked her identity? Uncle? Impossible, he would only want to kill me, not expose the family scandal. Could it be that person? That's impossible, too. He wanted to detain her in Chen State, not let her be controlled by Chu State. So who is it, who else could it be?

Envoy Liu broke out in cold sweat, but he remained calm and said, "Nonsense. You are provoking the Chen Kingdom..."

The Minister of Rites interrupted him softly, "Your Excellency, don't get excited. Many people know your true gender. If you return to Chen State, you will be involved in conspiracy and controlled by others. Are you really willing to do that?"

Envoy Liu: ...

The Minister of Rites added, "We also know that your biggest backup is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager will return to the palace tomorrow. Your Excellency has a few days to think about it."

Envoy Liu's pupils trembled: !!!

How come he even knew about the Queen Mother's collusion with the states of Chen and Chu?!

To what extent has Daxia's intelligence system been invaded!

…

The Minister of Rites did not stay for long. He turned around and went back to the Ministry of Rites to report and started to get busy.

It was not about the diplomatic mission, but the Queen Mother's guard of honor was already ten miles away and would arrive at the palace the day after tomorrow.

They had to prepare for the ceremony first.

Note: I'm super busy today, ahhh... One update. I'll update twice tomorrow. I love you guys.
