Mu Tuo chuckled, and the sound reached the ears of the ministers and generals who were itching to act, instantly making them understand His Majesty's meaning.
He gritted his teeth, sat up straight, and stopped listening to them. He would endure the humiliation and bear the consequences, knowing that one day the Fengluo Kingdom would avenge their disgrace.
The military officers, feeling frustrated, drank a lot of wine, while the civil officials snorted coldly, but their faces didn't show enough anger.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting."
A clear, calm voice suddenly rang out in the main hall.
Mu Tuo couldn't help but look at Mu Xi, who had been pushed in. If it weren't for his leg ailment, this younger brother would probably be a handsome and talented man, making him even more powerful.
A hint of regret flashed across Mu Tuo's eyes, but he couldn't help but smile and say, "The journey is long, and it's understandable that you're late, my virtuous brother, due to your leg ailment. I know that foreign envoys aren't such petty people, and they will understand."
Upon hearing this, the foreign envoy's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied, "Your Majesty is right. If Prince Mu is not afraid to come with a limp, how could we possibly look down on him?"
Mu Xi was pushed to his seat by Dou Shiliu. His face was refined and calm, showing no emotion despite the foreign envoy's sneak attack.
Mu Xi slightly tilted the wine pot, and Dou Shiliu stepped forward to lift the wine pot and fill the glass in front of him.
Mu Xi raised the glass cup with her jade-like hand, her eyes fixed on the envoy on the other side: "You're late, so be punished with three cups."
So he drank three cups in front of all the ministers.
Despite being unable to move his legs, Mu Xi remained composed and upright, a sight that everyone could still discern from him that he had straightened his back.
"Hahaha, Prince Mu is so generous! It is said that the people of Fengluo Kingdom have an excellent capacity for alcohol. Today, shall we not let ourselves drink to our hearts' content?"
The envoy's eyes were filled with a smile, and his wine glass was full. Everyone knew that this prince couldn't drink too much and always ate vegetarian food, otherwise his leg ailment would be difficult to control.
However, at this time, it was naturally not Mu Xi who spoke. He pretended not to hear and after drinking three cups, he did not move his hand again. Instead, the military officers came into play.
"Foreign envoy, you are right. We Fengluo people are indeed good at drinking. Come, let me drink with you first. In Fengluo, a man must empty his glass at a drinking party, otherwise he will lose his own morale."
Upon hearing this, the envoys exchanged glances. It was just drinking, after all; they had to drink together.
"No matter how reasonable your words are, General, let me offer you a drink. And Your Majesty, and Your Highness, let's drink until we're drunk. Anyone who doesn't get drunk is disrespecting our foreign country."
After the foreign envoy finished speaking, he laughed loudly a few times, then drank it in one gulp.
Are you forcing people to drink?
Mu Tuo's eyes flashed as he looked at the ministers below, who were comparing their drinking capacity with that of the foreigners, and clapped his hands.
Suddenly, the music began, and one after another, beautiful women entered the hall, swaying their hips and bewitching the ignorant foreign envoys.
The honey trap worked well.
Would Mu Tuo let himself suffer a loss? No, he looked at those beautiful women, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
With beautiful women by their side, and the foreign envoys being a group of powerful men, they were naturally overcome by lust.
No one argued anymore, and after the banquet, each person left carrying one.
Mu Tuo naturally left, leaving some palace maids to tidy up.
Muqi didn't leave. He finished eating the pomegranate in front of him, and the ministers came over one by one to say a word to him.
"Your Highness, you've worked hard. Fengluo Kingdom will know what you've done. I hope you'll be patient tomorrow."
"Your Highness, you've worked hard."
"Your Highness, you've worked hard."
They finished speaking one by one and then left.
Mu Xi remained unmoved, leaving him alone in the main hall.
The last pomegranate, its color as red as jade, fell into my thin lips.
Mu Xi calmly patted some juice off his hands, and a handkerchief with a faint fragrance appeared in front of him.
Muqi took the bag and wiped her clean hands. "Let's go."
Dou Shiliu helped him up and steadily placed him in the wheelchair.
"Is Your Highness cold?"
Mu Xi shook his head, his eyes catching sight of a white garment falling to his knees. He calmly raised his gaze: "Take it."
"It'll be cold outside, and your legs will hurt from the cold."
Dou Shiliu barely grasped the general idea of his soft target.
Mu Xi glanced briefly at the clothes she wore, which still carried a faint fragrance of her daughter, and said softly, "Mm."
Dou Shiliu pushed Muxi out, and sure enough, the weather was unusually cold after the rain.
Dou Shiliu was not afraid of the cold until her death, after all, she had internal strength, and Mu Xi also had it, but that didn't mean his legs didn't hurt.
It was another slow regression; she and he hadn't had a proper conversation yet.
The continuous gloomy fog created a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
"Master, will you be coming again tomorrow?"
Did you accept the punishment?
One sentence completely extinguished Dou Shiliu's desire to chat.
Mu Xi smiled, and the guard beside her became intrigued. "Why don't you accept the punishment?"
An Yi used to be very obedient.
"Cough cough, the wind is too strong, I can't hear what you're saying, Master. Let's go back quickly, it's a bit cold outside, it's not good for your legs."
Dou Shiliu quickly pushed Muxi along. Why didn't she accept the punishment? She wasn't a secret guard who strictly adhered to the rules.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to go to Dark Two to receive her punishment.
Mu Xi felt the wheelchair being pushed forward, looked up at the oppressive atmosphere in the sky, her eyes empty and hopeless.
...
The next day, Dou Shiliu did not push Muxi. She hid in the shadows, mainly because she was afraid that Muxi would bring up the fact that she had not yet been punished.
When Muxi saw Xiao Wu in front of him, he looked away without saying anything and got into the carriage with Xiao Wu's help.
This time, there was a touching song, and inside the car, there was a small table with snacks and tea.
This time, Muqi did not close his eyes to rest. He picked up the warm tea and carefully looked at the tea leaves floating in it.
The leaves, floating and swirling, are just like the foolishness of the world.
Upon arriving at the palace again, the weather was exceptionally fine. Although Dou Shiliu couldn't understand why it was sunny and clear today, after a torrential downpour yesterday.
Muqi was being pushed around by Xiao Wu, while several foreign envoys over there were laughing incessantly, seemingly discussing something.
Dou Shiliu overheard a bit and found it was nothing more than the secrets of last night. A look of speechlessness flashed in his eyes. These men were just animals who thought about their bodies.
Also, think about why Mu Tuo would give them beauties.
Those beauties, however, carried syphilis…
Dou Shiliu also learned from the system that there are no changes in the early stages of syphilis. However, considering the time when the envoys took them away and the time when they arrived in the foreign country, they probably just got infected. So, it won't be long before the disease develops in the foreign country.
He died of syphilis, which had nothing to do with Mu Tuo's Fengluo Kingdom.
This way, the person who wanted to be killed is dealt with, and the peace between the two countries will not be affected.
Mu Tuo's move was quite clever, and Dou Shiliu couldn't help but nod in approval.
Where are you envoys headed?
Mu Xi was pushed forward and spoke calmly. Seeing that they were discussing something with great enthusiasm, he, with his profound skills, naturally knew what they were talking about.
