Chapter 376 Gifts

Just as Xia Miaoyuan was daydreaming, three people dressed in Dai Viet costumes had already walked into the hall.

"The Dai Viet envoys pay their respects to His Majesty, long live His Majesty!" The three shouted in unison.

"Stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the envoys finished their greetings, they stood with their hands down, all of them looking respectful.

Emperor Mingxi raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Three Dai Viet envoys, welcome to Daxia. It has been many years since I have seen you, the Dai Viet envoys." After

Emperor Mingxi finished speaking, there was a whisper in the hall, and many ministers looked at the three envoys meaningfully.

The sarcasm in Emperor Mingxi's words is obvious. A few years ago, Daxia's national strength was weak, so you simply broke off diplomatic relations. Now, the entire northern border has become a vassal state of Daxia, and you, Dayue, are here again.

Han Lie said calmly, "In the past few years, we, Dai Viet, have not sent envoys to your country and have not been able to maintain exchanges with you. This is a great loss for us."

"However, in the future, we, Dai Viet, will send envoys to your country every year. I hope that our two countries can maintain good diplomatic relations forever and have more exchanges."

Emperor Minh Xi nodded slightly, "Okay, I hope so."

Han Lie and Emperor Minh Xi exchanged greetings for a while, and after saying some polite words, the Great Prince stepped forward and said, "This time, we, Dai Viet, have brought precious gifts to Your Majesty."

After that, the Great Prince waved his hand and five Dai Viet followers walked in from outside the hall.

Four people were seen carrying a huge wooden board, on which was placed an object more than one meter high, covered with a red cloth.

There was another attendant, holding a tray with a black lacquered wooden box on it.

The court officials all stretched their necks to look towards the center of the hall.

The great prince Yue Haoyun smiled proudly at the officials, and with a sudden tug, he pulled off the red cloth on the object.

A golden light immediately flashed in the hall.

Everyone subconsciously covered their eyes.

[What? So bright and shining?]

Xia Miaoyuan looked closely and saw that it was a golden tree more than one meter high.

"This is called the Jade Leaf Golden Tree, and it was made by our Dayue craftsmen."

At this time, the officials below were whispering.

"Oh, it's a tree made of gold."

"Is it gold inside and out?"

Yue Haoyun introduced proudly: "This tree is called the Jade Leaf Golden Tree."

"Its entire trunk, branches, and some leaves are made of pure gold inside and out."

"Some of the leaves on it are carved from jadeite."

"This Jade Leaf Golden Tree cost a total of 318 kilograms of gold."

Xia Miaoyuan was so excited when he heard this, "Oh my God, the Great Viet Kingdom is willing to spend a lot of money this time! This golden tree must be worth a lot of money." 】

"This jade-leaf golden tree, when placed under the sunlight, will emit a dazzling golden light, which is extremely gorgeous."

"I, the Emperor of Dai Viet, present this tree to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty good health and long life!"

Emperor Minh Xi was delighted and smiled: "Great! I like it!"

The ministers below also echoed: "What a great thing, what a great thing!"

After introducing the jade-leaf golden tree, the eldest prince took the black lacquered wooden box off the tray.

He opened the wooden box and showed it to everyone, then said, "What's in it is called the Longevity Pill."

"This is a pill made by a witch from our Dai Viet country, which has the effect of prolonging life."

"This pill uses 108 kinds of precious medicinal materials and takes 9981 days to make. It's very precious."

Xia Miaoyuan rolled his eyes, [Bah! Longevity Pill, isn't it just a pill that will kill you? ]

[It's the kind of ancient pill that contains excessive heavy metal content and harms people. After taking it, you feel very excited and energetic, but if you take it for a long time, your body will become weak and you will eventually die of poisoning. ]

[Father, you must not eat it. Just put it at the bottom of the box. 】

When Emperor Mingxi heard his daughter's thoughts, he felt a chill down his spine. It turned out to be such a terrible elixir, so he would not eat it.

He still wanted to live longer.

After the envoys presented their gifts, they withdrew.

This time, they also prepared gifts for the crown prince and each prince, but these gifts were sent directly to each palace.

As for the crown prince and the second prince, they were sent directly to the mansion.

...

Kunning Palace.

Xia Miaoyuan was with the queen, looking at the gifts that Dai Viet sent to them.

The main theme of Dai Viet this time was luxury, and the gifts they gave to the queen and Xia Miaoyuan were also very valuable.

Yin Xizi came at this time.

When the queen heard that Yin Xizi was here, she immediately asked her to sit down.

"Doctor Yin, did you go to see the second prince yesterday? Tell me quickly, how is the second prince's health? Is it a recurrence of an old illness, or is he overworked?"

Yin Xizi looked embarrassed: "The second prince is neither of those."

Early this morning, the queen sent someone to the Yin's Clinic to inquire about the second prince's condition.

Yin Xizi thought it would be better to go there in person.

So, Yin Xizi followed the palace maid who was asking for news and came to Kunning Palace together.

"What's wrong with Chengnian? Doctor Yin, please tell me quickly." The queen became anxious.

"The second prince's pulse is very strange. To be honest, I can't diagnose what disease he has."

"His symptoms are a bit like being poisoned by a snake."

"What? Being poisoned by a snake!" The queen froze.

[It turns out that the second brother was poisoned by a snake! 】

【Oh my god, no wonder my second brother is so weird and abnormal. 】

"Then how can we get rid of the Gu?" The queen looked anxious.

Yin Xizi shook her head apologetically: "I don't know how to remove the snake. To be honest, I can't even be sure if it's a snake."

The queen's anxious eyes dimmed in an instant, and Xia Miaoyuan frowned tightly.

[That's right, Aunt Yin's Da Xia people don't use snakes, and no one uses them to harm people. It's normal that he doesn't know how to remove the snake. ]

[There are more snakes in the Great Viet Kingdom. ]

[That's right! ]

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan's eyes lit up.

[After the second brother was poisoned by a snake, his heart and eyes were filled with Wu Ya, so it can be basically determined that the second brother was poisoned by Wu Ya. ]

[But that Wu Ya said that she was a woman from the Da Wa tribe in Northern Xinjiang. How could people in Northern Xinjiang use pigs? 】

【Could it be that Wu Ya lied? She was originally from Dai Yue and deliberately pretended to be from Northern Frontier! 】

Xia Miaoyuan was terrified when he thought about it.

Yin Xizi comforted the queen for a few words and then left.

"Mother, we can definitely find someone who understands the snake and help my second brother to solve the problem." Xia Miaoyuan comforted in a baby voice.

At this time, the deep voice of Emperor Mingxi rang out: "Ruoyu, what delicious food do you have for lunch today? Let's eat together at noon."

Emperor Mingxi's tone was very cheerful, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

The queen bowed and saluted, without a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Emperor Mingxi was shocked. He looked at his daughter again and frowned tightly.

"Miao'er, Ruoyu, what happened to you and your daughter? Why are you so worried?"

The empress pulled Emperor Mingxi into the inner room and said, "Your Majesty, Chengnian may have been poisoned!"
