After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

Qiao Niannian noticed Du Heng's attitude and whispered a few words beside her.

When no one was paying attention, Mammy threw a note to Du Heng and then left.

Du Heng opened the note and saw a line of words written on it.

Du Ruo has entered the palace and is safe.

Du Heng suddenly raised his head and looked at Qiao Niannian, but Qiao Niannian didn't look at him.

But Du Heng saw the nanny who had just sent him a letter, standing behind Qiao Niannian.

Just then the dancing girl left.

In the distance, the third prince narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene, and then said loudly: "Du Heng, what are you holding in your hand? It seems to be a note. Could it be conveying some message?"

After everyone heard this, their eyes all fell on Du Heng's hands.

It doesn't matter whether he accepts the note in Du Heng's hand or not.

The emperor looked at Du Heng with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

The third prince sneered: "Could it be some shameful news?"

Du Heng's expression changed, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Although the content of this note was not some shady news, it was afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion. However, Du Heng was not stupid, so naturally he could not admit what the third prince said.

"The Third Prince is serious. It's just a note, there's nothing shameful about it."

This was what the third prince was waiting for. He looked at the eunuch waiting beside him: "Since Du Heng said there is nothing shameful, go and bring it over and show it to your father."

Du Heng clenched the note and couldn't help but look at Qiao Niannian.

Qiao Niannian's expression was calm, as if she didn't know what was going on here.

The next moment, the eunuch took away the note and handed it to Li Furui. Li Furui took it and presented it to Emperor Jing'an.

Emperor Jing'an opened the note, glanced at the contents, and then smiled.

Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, he put the note away.

"It's not important news, it's a private matter of the Du family."

After saying that, he looked at the third prince: "Zeqi, don't make fun of Du Heng next time."

Xia Zeqi's face froze.

He glanced at Du Heng. The content on the note should have something to do with Du Ruo. Maybe Du Heng already knew that Du Ruo was in danger.

How come my father not only did not doubt Du Heng, but actually taught him a lesson.

The third prince didn't know what was going on, but he could only respond: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and glared at Du Heng.

Du Heng himself was confused, but the emperor's expression didn't look angry at all. No wonder the emperor didn't suspect that he was colluding with people in the palace.

Before Du Heng could figure it out, the emperor looked at him kindly and asked him to take a seat.

Du Heng hurriedly sat down, feeling shocked and confused.

This Miss Qiao is a bit unpredictable.

Qiao Niannian had no expression from beginning to end, like an outsider.

On the other hand, Xia Rongyu, who was sitting in front of the prince, his eyes stayed on Du Heng's face for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze.

He looks pretty good, but he's too old.

The little girl probably discovered something, so she came to help.

Du Heng's matter was just a small episode. Seeing that the emperor showed no expression, everyone present put this matter behind them.

The Queen was about to let the next dancer come in to perform when she saw the guard hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, an envoy from the Yue Kingdom, a vassal state of Western Chu, is visiting." Yue State, the most powerful vassal state of Western Chu.

If it were normal, there would be no problem.

The problem is that just half a month ago, General Qiao of their Great Xia Dynasty led troops to destroy the 50,000-strong army of Western Chu. Now Western Chu hates their Great Xia Dynasty.

At this time, the envoy from the Yue Kingdom came, and it was really unclear what the purpose was.

Emperor Jing'an just pondered for a moment and then asked the guards to invite the envoy in.

Because of the arrival of the Yue envoy, the originally lively palace banquet became quiet at this moment.

Taking advantage of this time, Emperor Jing'an asked everyone: "My dear friends, what do you think of the sudden visit of the Yue envoy?"

"Your Majesty, the Yue Kingdom is on the border between Western Chu and Daxia. The Yue Kingdom has become more powerful in recent years. In addition, Western Chu has lost 50,000 troops. Could it be that they want to join forces with us to attack Western Chu?"

"I feel that Western Chu lost a large army and sent Yue envoys here deliberately to cause us some discomfort."

"That's wrong. The Yue Kingdom is just a vassal state. How dare you go against our Great Xia Dynasty? I think he intends to make good friends with us."

……

The ministers started to argue over this matter, and the final result was that they either came to make friends or to avenge Xi Chu.

Emperor Jing'an had almost the same idea in his mind.

At this time, the eunuch from outside came in to report that the envoy had arrived outside the imperial garden. The emperor scolded everyone and asked the eunuch to bring the envoy in.

Everyone looked at the door curiously.

They saw the eunuch leading three people in. The one walking at the front was a tough-looking man. He looked to be only in his twenties, but he was full of majesty.

He strode into the Imperial Garden, put one hand in front of him, and bowed to salute, which was the rule of the Yue Kingdom.

"Yuan Bruqi of the Yue Kingdom has met the Emperor of Daxia. Our monarch has always admired the culture of Daxia Dynasty. He never had time before. Now he specially sent me to see the heritage of Daxia Dynasty."

Emperor Jing'an asked Yuanbululu to stand up, welcomed him, and gave him a seat.

Qiao Niannian's eyes fell on Yuan Bruqi. Although this person had a tough face, he was definitely not a pedantic and stubborn person. On the contrary, he was very good at strategy and his status in the Yue Kingdom was definitely not low.

Moreover, the person who came to Daxia Dynasty this time was not a good person.

As the Lord Shangshu said just now, this envoy was sent by Western Chu to add trouble to the Great Xia Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be a bad time to come, but he would come at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Not only do they come, they also cause trouble.

Qiao Niannian glanced at the other party and then looked away. In the book, the arrival of this envoy did not actually cause any substantial harm to the Great Xia Dynasty.

He made things difficult for Da Xia Dynasty, and finally had a musical competition, but finally gave it to Qiao Yueying in vain.

The whole plot seems to be designed to give Qiao Yueying a chance to make a name for herself.

I don’t know if the plot this time will proceed as in the book.

Qiao Niannian glanced at Qiao Yueying without trace, and saw that the other party looked excited, and there was excitement in the excitement, but there was no surprise.

[It seems that Qiao Yueying knew in advance that the Yue envoy was coming to Daxia Dynasty, so she was not surprised at all. 】

Qiao Chushan and Huo were nearby, and they heard their daughter's voice all of a sudden. They almost subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Qiao Yueying.

It was just as my daughter said.

I was excited and excited, but there were no surprises.

If she hadn't known it earlier, what would she be excited about?

Qiao Chushan glanced sharply at Mrs. Xu. He thought that there was only a mysterious person beside Mrs. Xu, but now it seemed that there were many things he didn't know.

The emperor didn't even know about the Yue envoy, but the Xu family had actually gotten the news.

The person behind this must not be simple.

It seems that after he returns, he should interrogate the mysterious man locked in the dungeon!
