Chapter 457: Being a Shield, Are You Angry?
“Cough cough cough…”
Chu Qing covered his face and coughed violently. When he recovered, he half-lay on the table, his face red from coughing.
"Fifth brother, how are you?" Chu Yue looked back.
“Ahem…”
Chu Qing coughed again.
"Seventh Princess, it's time for the prince to take his medicine." The guard helped Chu Qing up.
Chu Qing was breathing rapidly, his whole body half leaning on the guard, and his eyes seemed unable to open.
Chu Yue saw this and knew what was happening. She gritted her teeth and said, "Send the Fifth Prince back to the post station."
"yes."
"Cough cough cough cough...Emperor...Imperial sister...everything...is left to you...cough cough cough cough...Puff..." The Fifth Prince walked to the door and turned back weakly. He spoke a few words incoherently and then coughed up blood.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
The guards exclaimed, and two of them lifted the man up and quickly went out.
Chu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, and everyone present twitched their lips.
Especially Chu Yue and Qin Huai, their faces couldn't be darker.
Only Ye Qianning knew that his illness was real and the vomiting of blood was fake. Chu Qing was probably addicted to some drug, which was why he was so weak.
It's not to the point of vomiting blood, it's just that I don't want to clean up the mess.
The Dongyi envoys were openly led by Chu Qing, but secretly the one in power was Chu Yue, and the prince was just a figurehead.
Ye Qianning sat next to Helian Chen again, this time sitting upright with a serious look, looking both funny and cute.
Helian Chen tilted his head to talk to her, and she just glanced at him pretentiously, which made Helian Chen stunned, and then he laughed foolishly.
The laughter earned another eye roll from Ye Qianning, but he didn't restrain himself at all and laughed even louder.
Prince Yu sighed inwardly, frowned, and felt like crying.
I always feel like I'm possessed by a bad luck spirit. Nothing good ever happens whenever I meet envoys from other countries. Xiyan's standards are too high, so cooperation is impossible. They look down on Nanyuan.
There is no need to consider Dongwei, as their border is also by the sea and is the farthest from Nanyuan. There are no merchants from Nanyuan who can connect with Dongwei.
I didn't want to deal with them in the first place, but they had to drag them into their plot and use them as shields. Isn't that infuriating?
"Miss Xiang knows a lot at such a young age." Xiliuyuan said suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qianning immediately sat up straight and imitated his manners, saying, "Not bad."
“…”
Xiliuyuan's mouth corners slightly raised.
Ye Qianning looked at his half-smile with a stern face. Who knows how many women he will bring harm to when he grows up. At such a young age, a smile from him can be fatal.
"Princess, the third prince of Beili is here." There was a knock on the door.
Chu Yue knew that the matter could not be accomplished, so she simply gave up and said, "Please ask the Third Prince to come in."
Not long after, Sang Yan, dressed in brocade and jade belt, walked in from outside. Seeing everyone paused slightly, he smiled and said, "The little girl asked someone to invite me to discuss state affairs. I thought the little girl was joking, but I didn't expect all the envoys to be here."
"Third Prince, please sit down." Chu Yue said with a smile.
Sang Yan glanced around, walked to the seat next to Ye Qianning, and sat down. He nodded towards Xi Liuyuan and said, "I'm sorry that the recent events in Kyoto City have frightened the envoys."
"I had thought of hosting a banquet for the envoys in two days to express my apology, but I never thought I would be treated to a banquet by the envoys today. I feel ashamed that I failed to fulfill my duty as a host." Sang Yan picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass. He held it up and said, "I will drink three glasses as punishment."
