Chapter 52 Envoy from the Kingdom of Beasts
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Let's not talk about the divorce for now. Even if there was any discord between you and Prince Lu, you shouldn't have forced Prince Lu to kill Miss Chu at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, causing them to kill each other! Miss Chu was just an innocent woman. Doesn't the Emperor have an explanation for Zhaohua's actions?"
The emperor smiled and said, "It's just a child, just joking, why should your mother take it seriously?"
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips. "Granddaughter was just joking. Everyone knows that Master Lu has feelings for Miss Chu. How could I really do such a thing? If Master Lu really did it...I would be angry."
At this time, Chu Yinyin's eyes drooped slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Lin Zhaoyue's words made it impossible for the empress dowager to continue to make things difficult for her, so she deliberately looked at Xiao Tingye.
"Master Xiao, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother thought that Old Xiao and the Princess were sworn enemies, so she deliberately asked Xiao Tingye to pick a fight with the Princess.
[Lao Xiao: How do I see? I see with my eyes]
[Hilarious! The Queen Mother has no idea that her sworn enemy is just a hobby for a young couple.]
Lin Zhaoyue frowned, her brows drawn together.
What nonsense are you talking about.
At this time, everyone else also wanted to know what Commander Xiao would say about this matter.
"Lord Xiao and Princess Zhaohua have always been at odds... I'm afraid he'll seize this opportunity to give the princess a hard time."
"I think so."
"Isn't the Empress Dowager deliberately asking Lord Xiao to pressure the princess?"
Xiao Tingye curled his lips slightly, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, I believe... Your Highness is a princess of the imperial family, and her marriage to Prince Lu was personally granted by Your Majesty. Yet, Prince Lu dared to become entangled with other women while still married to the princess... and even caused a disturbance in the princess's residence. He truly disregards the Great Xia Imperial Family, and I'm afraid... he even disregards Your Majesty."
According to the law, he should be imprisoned and executed."
He spoke the last few words slowly, but they made everyone feel a chill all over their body.
"However, Her Royal Highness is kindhearted and willing to divorce and help these two be together. Prince Lu and Miss Chu... should be thankful."
For a moment, everyone in the hall was a little surprised.
Commander Xiao was actually speaking for Her Royal Highness the Princess?!
So this must be a matter of common interest to both of them, right?
Um.
Of course!
[Forget about the rest, I’m sure you’ve asked the right person.]
[I've long wanted to chop the male protagonist into pieces]
[Big Villain: Bullying my wife?? I’m the only one who can bully my wife]
[Empress Dowager: I asked you to assist me, but you killed me?]
[Bad guys will get bad results, the hero will kill you sooner or later]
The Queen Mother's expression twitched, and she asked unnaturally, "Is it that serious?"
Chu Yinyin also clenched her hands in fear, but her eyes involuntarily looked at Xiao Tingye.
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Xiao Tingye lightly and then looked away.
The emperor looked at Xiao Tingye thoughtfully.
At this time, several officials began to speak well of Lu Chenzhou.
"Yes, Commander Xiao, you are being too kind..."
"Everyone has witnessed how Prince Lu has treated the princess over the years..."
"yes……"
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at the ministers who spoke for Lu Chenzhou.
Before she entered the Qianyuan Hall, these people gathered together with Lu Chenzhou. They pretended to greet Lu Chenzhou, but in fact they were talking to him about some matters in the court.
Why does she know.
It just so happened that they were in the same space, the subtitles told her.
Her intelligence network has been spread out to investigate all officials in the court who are related to Lu Chenzhou.
She was checking them out when she suddenly jumped out.
However, the list is not complete yet.
Lu Chenzhou did things secretly, and the guys in the subtitles who liked to see the love lines and face-slapping were unable to provide her with too much information.
Officials in the court who were related to Lu Chenzhou could only use their own intelligence network to investigate.
Lu Chenzhou's eyes were slightly stern. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I have never had any contact with the princess--"
"The envoy from the Kingdom of Beasts has arrived—"
As the eunuch's voice sounded outside the hall, Lu Chenzhou's words were interrupted.
The emperor glanced at Lu Chenzhou and said, "Well, since you two have divorced, then part ways amicably. This matter is over, and don't mention it again. Otherwise, you will be punished for contempt of the royal majesty."
The emperor's words have already made his attitude clear.
And everyone also knows that Prince Lu’s behavior has caused the emperor’s dissatisfaction.
If someone must punish him, Prince Lu will not be able to escape.
Disrespect for royal dignity can be a big or small offense.
If the charges are proven, even Marquis Xuanping will have nothing to say.
Now I just don’t want to embarrass everyone.
Moreover, it was the emperor himself who granted the marriage, and he did not want it to end in embarrassment.
When Lu Chenzhou heard this, his face turned very ugly.
But he couldn't control himself. There was an unwilling voice in his heart that kept clamoring that he didn't want to divorce Lin Zhaoyue like this!
"Your Majesty! That divorce letter is not mine at all—"
"Prince Lu," Xiao Tingye suddenly said coldly, "Are you planning to ask the envoys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts to judge for you?"
At this time, the envoys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts had already entered the hall. Lu Chenzhou looked at Xiao Tingye with a cold gaze, but in the end he gritted his teeth and held back the words he wanted to say and retreated.
[Big Villain: Shut up, you're the only one who keeps talking all day long]
[Successfully interrupted the reading hahahahaha]
[The villain said, "I did it, how can I let you tell me?"]
The emperor also looked at Lu Chenzhou coldly.
If it weren't for the Marquis of Xuanping, Lu Chenzhou would be equivalent to a hostage left in the capital, and he really wanted to kill this guy.
The Queen Mother whispered to the Emperor, "The Crown Prince is still young, so it's normal for him to be a little impulsive... But Zhao Hua, you need to teach him a lesson."
The emperor said in a low and cold voice: "Then I won't bother you, mother, with any worries."
The queen mother looked unhappy, but she said nothing more.
Talking too much would only cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.
At this time, the envoys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts had arrived at the hall.
Lin Zhaoyue also looked at the delegation. The leader was a young, handsome, and gentle-looking man. He was wearing clothing unique to the Kingdom of Beasts. Most of the clothing was made of animal skins and furs, but it was not too rough. Instead, it was exquisite and had a primitive wildness.
The higher the status of the person, the rarer and more exquisite the clothes and animal furs they wore. Therefore, the young man in the lead must be of high status.
Lin Zhaoyue found it strange. It was said that most people in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts looked rough, but this person was so feminine and delicate.
The young man bowed and said loudly, "Qi Yue, the envoy of the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom, greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."
The other envoys who accompanied him also saluted.
The emperor laughed heartily: "Master Qi, please excuse me."
"I've heard of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts for a long time, and seeing it today, I can see it's truly unique. The dishes are all here, everyone, please take a seat."
Qi Yue smiled and nodded slightly, then walked to a special seat and sat down.
Lin Zhaoyue just looked at Qi Yue a few more times, and when she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Xiao Tingye's eyes.
He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and glanced at Qi Yue.
[Is the villain jealous? ]
[Nonsense, how can the villain feel comfortable with the princess looking at a man for so long?]
[Strange, I remember that Qi Yue wasn't mentioned in the original plot. The character of the envoy from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts was just glossed over and not important. I didn't expect it to be so interesting.]
"Sister, why do the men in the Kingdom of Beasts look like women..." Xiao Qi muttered softly, "I thought they were big and strong."
Lin Zhaoyue also felt strange that the envoy from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts was so young.
However, although Qi Yue looks feminine, her appearance is only delicate. Compared with Ming Xi, a beautiful woman who is difficult to distinguish between male and female, she is still far inferior.
After three rounds of drinks and a brief exchange of greetings, the emperor slowly began:
"I've heard that the Myriad Beasts Nation possesses the ability to tame beasts, but I've never seen one. Lord Qi, could you demonstrate it to the officials of Great Xia?"
Qi Yue stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, the royal family of the Myriad Beasts Nation does have the ability to tame beasts. But ordinary people like us don't have that ability. However, even if we don't have the same powerful beast taming skills as the royal family, we have learned some simple beast taming skills through observation and practice..."
He smiled and looked at everyone, "Daxia is full of talented people. I guess there should be someone with this ability, right?"
What this means is that if ordinary people like us have learned some skills in taming animals, then your country shouldn't have that, right?
Upon hearing this, the emperor and the officials present frowned slightly.
[Appeared! The Beast Nation appears to be offering treasures, but in reality, they are also here to demonstrate their strength and suppress the Xia Nation.]
[Isn't this the plot designed for the heroine? She also has the ability to communicate with animals.]
【Ahhh, the goose girl finally has a chance to stand out and slap someone in the face! 】
[Let you see the heroine's ability, it will blind your eyes]
Lin Zhaoyue picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and her eyes fell on Qi Yue.
Qi Yue seemed to feel Lin Zhaoyue's gaze, looked back at her, and the smile on her lips deepened.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.
This person looks... somewhat familiar.
