Chapter 243 Who is it?

The envoy from the state of Chu was welcomed into the post house by the officials in charge.

The Chu people did not come empty-handed, they pulled several carts full of gifts alone.

The car was not unloaded in the post house, so the envoy of Chu State sent it to the palace.

"The new emperor of Chu has ascended the throne. Before I sent congratulatory gifts, the emperor of Chu sent tribute. I have seen the sincerity of his heart." Seeing the envoy from Chu, Chai Xian nodded with a smile.

When the envoy from the Kingdom of Chu heard the words, he quickly corrected them, "Your Majesty the Great Zhou, what you said is wrong!"

All the accompanying officials in the hall immediately frowned, looking at the envoy from Chu State vigilantly.

The indifferent smile on Chai Xian's face has not changed, "Oh? What's the difference?"

"We waited for the envoy to come to visit, and what I sent was the heart of our country. It was a congratulatory gift to congratulate the Holy One on his ascension to the throne. It was not a tribute." The envoy said.

Chai Xian smiled slightly.

The ministers below buzzed and discussed in a low voice.

Brother Xuan changed into his court clothes and walked into the hall quietly, only listening to the voices of discussion, but didn't understand what happened.

Then he tugged at the corner of the clothes of the person beside him, and asked that person, "What did the people of Chu state say?"

The man glanced at him, didn't speak, but smiled first.

Brother Xuan didn't hear an answer, but glanced at him, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Why are you?"

After all, he stood aside in disgust, and blew on the fingers that he had grabbed the corner of the sleeve.

Yun Ziyi froze, and said helplessly: "Now we are all serving the Holy Majesty, we are officials in the same dynasty, why is Brother Xuan still so prejudiced against Yun?"

Brother Xuan snorted softly, "I am also named by you? You are just a member of Zhongshushe, I am indeed an earl! The princess is my sister, and I am a relative of the emperor, a prince and nobleman!"

He rolled his eyes hard at Yun Ziyi.

Yun Ziyi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I have seen Uncle."

The two spoke very quietly, the discussion in the hall suddenly stopped, and the hall was silent.

The two of them couldn't speak again, so they stood upright and looked at the envoy from the Kingdom of Chu in the palace.

"Whether it's a tribute or a congratulatory gift, you are a guest if you come from afar. All you come, just stay at ease. My Great Zhou capital is beautiful. Ji Xiang can arrange for people to bring you here to experience my great Zhou capital. Don't treat the guests from afar." Chai Xian said with an unchanged smile.

Ji Bocai surrendered and took the lead.

After the envoy from the state of Chu came to bow down and thank him, the monarch and his ministers were polite again.

Chai Xian asked the current emperor of Chu, Ma Wenzhao, if he was doing well, and if there were any difficulties in Chu.The state of Shu may still invade the state of Chu, and so on.

The envoys from the state of Chu answered one by one.

The words revealed that the relationship between Chu State and Shu State is now extraordinary.

Chai Xian remained calm on the surface, but secretly exchanged glances with Ji Bocai.

When people sent the envoys from the state of Chu back to the inn to rest, Chai Xian left Ji Bocai behind, and the monarch and ministers talked in the hall.

Brother Xuan was not left behind, but he also asked to see him outside.

"Call him in." Chai Xian nodded.

Ji Bocai pursed his lips, stood up straight, and looked back at Brother Xuan who was walking into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Cousin, what is the meaning of this Chu countryman bringing so many gifts?" Brother Xuan said.

"They pretended to be businessmen, and they sneaked into my Dazhou territory, and when they approached the capital, they suddenly revealed their identities." Ji Bocai said slowly, "They explained that they wanted to avoid unnecessary troubles on the way. I think they want to take the opportunity to find out the actual situation in Da Zhou."

Brother Xuan nodded, looked up at the sage, frowned and said, "Anyway, Ma Wenzhao used to be your confidant and my master. He ordered someone to come here to harm Da Zhou, right? ? He can regain the throne now, relying on the soldiers and horses of Dazhou!"

Ji Bocai pursed his lips, did not speak hastily, but carefully observed the face of the Holy Majesty.

Chai Xian lowered his eyes, "At the beginning, I hadn't experienced so many things, my mind was not very mature, and I was very eager to achieve success in doing things. In order to show my talents in front of the father as soon as possible, after knowing his identity, I still risked using him. He promised to cede the city, but now the envoy has not mentioned it again. I'm afraid he won't recognize it."

Brother Xuan opened his mouth, "I don't know about the matter between the Holy Majesty and him, so I don't know much about it. Although he is my master, he has become a native of Chu after all. I just want to tell the Holy Majesty, He...he used to be in love with my sister, but now that he's the emperor, I'm afraid he can't let go of his original feelings."

Hearing this, Ji Bocai suddenly looked up at Brother Xuan.

Chai Xian's eyes also fell on Brother Xuan, "What does Brother Xuan mean?"

"Although I used to have the intention of bringing my sister and master together, but later found that my sister really didn't like him. And he also used me to drive a wedge between my sister and other people, making me confused and almost hurting my sister, so... If a person from Chu State asks for a marriage, the Holy Majesty must not agree!" Brother Xuan said with a blushing face.

Ji Bocai hooked the corners of his mouth and lowered his head.

Chai Xian let out a long sigh, "I thought you wanted the princess to marry far away."

"How is that possible? I'm just such a big sister! Even if the sage is willing, the minister won't!" Brother Xuan shouted immediately.

"Brother Xuan!" Ji Bocai quickly scolded him, "This is the Golden Palace, watch your words and deeds!"

Brother Xuan sticks out his tongue, correcting his posture as the earl.

"Your Majesty still has business to do, why don't you leave immediately after you finish speaking?" Ji Bocai reminded him in a low voice.

"I'm done talking, I'm leaving!" Brother Xuan cupped his hands.

Chai Xian nodded, "Ji Xiang also went back first, and arranged all the things in the post house, and sent someone to pay attention to see what the Chu State envoy has in mind."

Ji Bocai bowed his hands and retreated with Brother Xuan.

The two walked on the palace road outside the palace, Ji Bocai kept staring at Brother Xuan.

"Why is my cousin looking at me like this? It makes me feel uncomfortable!" Brother Xuan frowned.

"How many people have you matched with your sister?" Ji Bocai asked with a smile.

Brother Xuan felt embarrassed, "Only my master and cousin you! That's not too many, I want to drive away many people from my sister! Sigh, it's not easy to be a younger brother! My sister is still waiting for me Call her back. I won't talk to my cousin any more!"

Brother Xuan made a face at him and left quickly.

Ji Bocai shook his head and smiled lightly, walking slowly.

Brother Xuan didn't go to the princess mansion again, but went back to his own mansion.

When he entered the door, he saw the two attendants he sent to send Chunlu and Nianen away, waiting outside the hall.

Brother Xuan stepped forward, but before he could speak, the two suddenly knelt down at him.

Brother Xuan was taken aback, "What is this?"

"The lowly position insults the uncle's mission, I beg the uncle to punish him!" The two kowtowed and said.

Brother Xuan waved his hand, "I don't blame you for not sending people out of the capital. I have already visited the palace, and it is indeed because of the visit of the envoy of Chu State that the city gates were sealed off. I can't get out today, so it will be delayed." One day is nothing, but tomorrow is the departure.”

The two exchanged glances in a panic, and then hurriedly leaned down, "Return...report to Uncle...Chunlu and Nian'en, they...they..."

Brother Xuan frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, "What's wrong with them?"

"They lost..." the two whispered.

Brother Xuan was taken aback, "Lost it? Two big living people, if you say you lose it, you lose it? What is lost? How did you lose it?"

"Bizhi wanted to take them back to the Earl's Mansion, and it would be more convenient to start together tomorrow. But Nianen refused, saying that he was ashamed to live in the Earl's Mansion. But going back to Ji's house is really troublesome. After discussing with them, the humble officer decided Stay in an inn near the South City Gate." One said with a nod.

Brother Xuan frowned and listened carefully. Hearing this, he couldn't help but snorted softly, "And then?"

"Then I went to the princess mansion to report to the uncle." Another person said.

Brother Xuan's eyes fell on the person who spoke earlier, "He went to the Princess Mansion, aren't you still with them? Why did you lose them?"

"Xiaozhi went to ask Xiao Er for water, and then went to the backyard. When he came back to bring water to the two of them," he took a deep breath, "the room between the two of them is already empty!"

Brother Xuan frowned and remained silent for a moment, "Did they leave by themselves? Or were they taken away? Are there signs of a fight in the room?"

The entourage swallowed, and shook his head, "There was no trace of a fight. I asked Xiao Er about it, and Xiao Er said that I didn't hear anything, and I didn't even see anyone passing by the front lobby..."

"There are no traces of fighting, but no one saw them leave?" Brother Xuan narrowed his eyes, "There is no need for them to leave you and leave by themselves. If they were taken away by someone, who would it be? "
