Chapter 676: Poison
The clothing of Nanyue Dynasty is very different from that of Dasheng Dynasty.
In the eyes of the people of Dasheng, their clothes were no different from strange costumes.
Such a large group of people in strange costumes wandering around the streets of Shengjing immediately attracted the attention of Jingzhao Prefecture.
After Xiao Xixi bought clothes, she was walking out of the clothing store with everyone else when she was stopped by a group of soldiers.
The soldiers asked them who they were, where they came from, and what they were going to do.
Yue Gang took the initiative to step forward and introduced his identity and purpose in the stiff Da Sheng official language, and took out the letter given to him by King Nanyue.
Upon learning that it was an envoy from Nanyue, the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Prefecture softened their attitude a lot, but they still did not dare to let their guard down.
Matters such as receiving foreign guests have always been the responsibility of the Honglu Temple.
The officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Prefecture immediately conveyed the matter to the prefect Mei Guangtao. When Mei Guangtao heard about it, although he was curious about the purpose of the Nanyue delegation, he did not intervene too much and directly sent someone to notify the Honglu Temple.
The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple personally came out to receive the Nanyue delegation and arranged a place for them to rest.
Afterwards, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple went to the palace in person.
He reported the matter to the emperor.
"The Nanyue delegation consists of fifty-two people, led by Princess Nanfeng of Nanyue. I have already had someone investigate. They have been in the city for three days, but they did not reveal their identities until today."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Have you found out their purpose?"
The Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple said truthfully, "They said they came to see Your Majesty on the orders of the King of Nanyue, and they also brought a letter from the King of Nanyue."
After saying that, he took out a letter and presented it with both hands.
Eunuch Chang walked over, took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and presented it to the emperor.
Luo Qinghan unfolded the letter and quickly read the contents.
It turned out that there was a civil strife in Nanyue, and the Great Witch and the King of Nanyue were fighting.
The Great Wizard asked Mobei for reinforcements, so King Nanyue wanted to ask Dasheng to send troops to help.
King Nanyue promised many benefits in the letter.
But Luo Qinghan was obviously not interested.
He casually put the letter aside and said, "You can go back first. Guests are welcome. Treat them well."
Not mentioning a single word about wanting to meet the Nanyue delegation meant that he wanted to leave them alone.
The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple understood, bowed in response, and retreated respectfully.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
The Nanyue delegation did not wait for the summons from Emperor Dasheng.
This is definitely not a good thing.
Yue Gang was anxious. He was afraid that Dasheng Dynasty would not agree to help, so he quickly ran to find Fang Wujiu and Xiao Xixi to discuss the matter.
Fang Wujiu was not surprised by this result.
"Now we are the ones who need help. The more anxious we are, the better it will be for Dasheng.
When we get too anxious, they will definitely agree to any condition, and then Dasheng will be able to get the most benefits from Nanyue."
Yue Gang said anxiously, "How much benefit do they want before they agree to send troops? We can wait, but Nanyue can't."
If the reinforcements from Mobei really reach Nanyue, the outcome would be unpredictable.
He stood on the side of King Nanyue. If King Nanyue was defeated, his entire family would be doomed.
Fang Wujiu: "The only thing we can do now is to submit a few more memorials and try to be more humble. At least ask the Emperor of Dasheng to meet with us."
Yue Gang glanced at Xiao Xixi cautiously, then asked in a low voice.
"Should we mention the princess in our memorial? For the princess' sake, the Emperor of Dasheng might agree to summon us."
Fang Wujiu indeed shook his head: "No."
The memorial they submitted had to go through several hands. If he told everything about Xixi in the memorial, it would be equivalent to letting everyone in the court know.
This is definitely not a good thing for Xixi.
Now that she has changed her identity, she has fewer disputes and there is no need for her to take on more things.
As for the emperor's unwillingness to see them, that was actually not a big problem.
In the final analysis, the emperor just wanted to leave them alone, not that he really didn't want to see them. Just wait a little longer, when the time is right, the emperor will naturally meet them.
Fang Wujiu continued writing the memorial.
He has excellent writing skills and the content of his memorials is very convincing.
However, the memorials were sent to the palace one after another, but there was never a response.
Yue Gang would go to the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple every day to ask when he could see the emperor.
The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple only said that the emperor was very busy recently and asked us to wait a little longer.
Yue could bear it at first, but later he couldn't bear it anymore and asked angrily.
"What on earth is the Emperor of Dasheng busy with? After so many days, why hasn't he finished his work yet? Are you deliberately making up excuses to fool us?!"
The Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple said hurriedly, "Our emperor is busy with the selection of concubines recently and really can't spare the time. You should wait a little longer. After this period of busy work, he should be able to spare the time to meet you."
As a country bumpkin from Nanyue, Yue Gang had no idea what a talent show was.
He went back angrily, but not willing to give up, he ran to find Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu and asked them what the talent show was.
Fang Wujiu and Xiao Xixi were both stunned.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Where did you know about the talent show?"
Yue Gang then told about his conversation with the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple.
When Xiao Xixi learned that Luo Qinghan was going to participate in a talent show, her heart suddenly felt like a mixture of all five flavors, with all the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty feelings flooding into her mind all at once.
Her whole body paused at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her eyes dimmed.
Fang Wujiu's face didn't look good either.
"You came all the way here to find him, but he was busy filling his harem."
Xiao Xixi was already feeling bad, and when she heard this, her eyes immediately turned red.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Fang Wujiu felt so distressed that he patted her head and comforted her, "Don't cry, it's not worth it."
Xiao Xixi wiped her eyes and said, "In fact, even if there is no selection, there are already quite a few people in the harem."
Fang Wujiu: "Then you still want to go back to find him. Don't you feel bad about sharing a man with so many women?"
Xiao Xixi: "I just want to go see him. I like him, so I want to see him doing well. As long as he's doing well, I'll feel at ease."
Fang Wujiu: "What do you do after you finish watching it?"
Xiao Xixi couldn't answer.
Fang Wujiu: "If you enter the harem, it means that he will be your only choice in the future, but he still has countless choices. You will not be his only one."
This is really heartbreaking.
Xiao Xixi felt like she was about to die.
There was a dull pain in my heart.
Then, she felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up her throat.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Fang Wujiu and Yue Gang both changed their expressions.
Fang Wujiu picked her up, put her on the bed, and took her pulse.
He frowned and looked at Xiao Xixi with a serious tone.
"Judging from your pulse, you are poisoned."
Xiao Xixi said weakly: "It's the poison left in my body by the incarnation Gu."
