"Present it!" Upon hearing that it was a letter from Zhaoyang Kingdom, Nalan Yun ordered.
She pondered in her heart, the last time Emperor Su Mutianjun of Zhaoyang Kingdom sent a letter of credence, it was for the purpose of marriage, and she wondered what tricks he was up to this time...
"Yes, Your Majesty!" As Nalan Yunzhi finished speaking, Guo Dongbing immediately walked towards the door of the Golden Palace.
After taking the letter from the guard, he immediately returned to the hall and presented the letter to Nalan Yunzhi.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were secretly looking at the letter held in Nalan Yunzhi's hands with great curiosity, and they were all guessing in their hearts what was written in it.
Suddenly, Nalan Yunzhi raised his head and glanced at the officials standing in the center of the hall below. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, looking submissive and submissive.
Hua Qingcheng stood straight, looked at the ministers around her, then looked up at Nalan Yunzhi who was sitting on the golden throne, and raised her eyebrows slightly at her. Her bright eyes were as full as water, and there seemed to be a questioning look in her eyes.
"Old Guo!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as Nalan Yunzhi spoke, Guo Dongbing understood his meaning and shouted at the top of his voice - "Withdraw from the court!"
"Princess, please come with me to the Imperial Study." Nalan Yunzhi threw the letter in his hand to Guo Dongbing, and after saying a few words, he left the Golden Throne Hall and walked towards the Imperial Study. Guo Dongbing followed closely behind.
Hua Qingcheng looked thoughtfully at Nalan Yunzhi as he left at a brisk pace, then followed him. All that was left was the court officials whispering in the hall, discussing what the Emperor of Zhaoyang had written in the letter.
Finally, one of the ministers could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked Situ Luoyun, "Prime Minister, do you know why the Emperor of Zhaoyang Kingdom sent a letter?"
Situ Luoyun glanced at the minister and said seriously, "Sir Liu, although I was standing in front of you during the court session, the Emperor was over ten meters away. How could I have such clairvoyant eyes to see the contents of the letter in the Emperor's hand?"
She paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, if the Emperor really wants us to know, she will naturally inform us; if she doesn't want us to know, you are asking around, aren't you afraid..."
Situ Luoyun made a gesture of wiping his neck, which immediately frightened the official so much that his face turned pale and he immediately shut up.
Situ Luoyun curled the corners of his lips slightly, straightened his official robe, and then walked out of the Golden Palace calmly.
Meanwhile, some of the generals were trying to get information from General Feng Cailan. However, unlike Situ Luoyun, Feng Cailan wasn't as bewildered as she was. She simply said, "I don't know either. Why don't you go ask the Emperor yourself?" and dismissed everyone who had gathered around her.
Feng Cailan thought to herself, she was in a hurry to go back to the mansion to see Yang Bao and the baby in Yang Bao's belly! These people were so inconsiderate...
She pushed away the crowd surrounding her and then strode away.
The ministers looked at each other, and their curiosity about the contents of the letter from the Emperor of Zhaoyang Kingdom reached its highest point.
At the same time, Hua Qingcheng also followed Nalan Yunzhi to the imperial study.
Upon entering the imperial study, Hua Qingcheng bowed to Nalan Yunzhi and then asked directly, "I wonder if the Queen Mother summoned me here in connection with the letter from Zhaoyang Kingdom?"
Nalan Yunzhi, who was sitting in front of the imperial desk, nodded slightly, and then gave Guo Dongbing a look.
"Your Highness, please take a look." After Guo Dongbing presented the letter to Hua Qingcheng, he bowed and left, closing the door of the imperial study.
Hua Qingcheng took the letter and started reading it immediately, but the more she read, the gloomier her expression became.
Seeing Hua Qingcheng's gloomy face and silence, Nalan Yunzhi then asked, "My Lady, regarding what Emperor Su Mutianjun of Zhaoyang said, that Prince Helun's biological mother, Imperial Noble Consort Shangguan, is seriously ill and wants to see her son and son-in-law, what do you think?"
Hua Qingcheng thought for a moment and then said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, since Imperial Noble Consort Shangguan is Su Mulichen's biological mother and she is dying, it is understandable that she wants to see her biological son. However, my son, Consort Su Mu, is currently pregnant. Although Zhaoyang Kingdom is adjacent to my Laifeng Kingdom, the journey is long and arduous. Whether I go or not, I still need to consider whether Consort Su Mu's body can withstand such a long journey to avoid harming the unborn child."
Nalan Yunzhi nodded slightly at this and said slowly, "Your Highness is becoming more and more thorough these days. I have no intention of interfering in this matter. You can make your own decision. However, while respecting one's mother and father is a duty, Su Mu Tianjun is not a pushover. If Your Highness truly intends to accompany Prince Helun to Zhaoyang State to visit Imperial Noble Consort Shangguan, you must be fully prepared to deal with any potential dangers."
Hua Qingcheng felt a little warm in her heart when she heard this, and her eyes softened as she looked at Nalan Yunzhi. "Thank you for your teachings, Queen Mother. I will definitely keep them in mind."
After leaving the imperial study, Hua Qingcheng returned to the East Palace. She summoned several men in the backyard to the study for a discussion.
"Amitabha!" Yu Xiaotian clasped his hands together and said slowly, "Sixth brother is not Imperial Noble Consort Shangguan's biological son. Her time is drawing to a close. Could it be that as a dying person approaches, their words are kind? Is she trying to repent to Sixth brother before she dies?"
Si Chengfeng's eyes were as charming as silk. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I think there might be another mystery behind this matter."
"Old Five is right." Situ Ye, standing by, said with a gloomy face, "Although Su Mutianjun doesn't know that Old Six isn't his biological son, he's never had any fatherly affection for him. So why would he suddenly send a letter? Besides, Shangguan Yuechan is full of evil intentions. I don't believe she'll change her ways, even if I kill you."
