Chapter 135 The Envoy from Xizhao 6
Long Yan was furious, and there was a dead silence in the hall.

The emperor cleared his throat, calmed down his anger, and said, "According to what His Majesty Wang said, appeasement is the most important thing. The envoys from Xizhao should be received with the highest standard. Admiral Su, you are responsible for the safety of the palace, and you must not live too long." There is something wrong, retreat!" After speaking, he waved his long sleeves and left angrily.

Knowing that Xingchen had arranged everything properly, Chuyue changed into the maid's attire in full swing, and Xingchen tidied Chuyue's clothes. "Sister Huang, those who follow me, just get out of this door while the chaos is happening. Today, the envoy of Xizhao is here, so it is inconvenient for me to be with you, so I will go to the other end to prepare first." Chuyue nodded, thinking about it countless times when she was a child She fled here together with Xingchen, and when she grew up, she thought that Xue's mansion was the home she was looking for, but she didn't expect that it was Xingchen's younger brother who accompanied her to go out from here, to escape for her life, to escape to freedom.

Chuyue lowered her head, obediently followed behind the guards arranged by Xing Chen, walked through several palaces, looked at the majestic city gates and the court ladies coming and going, under the sun, the palace had red walls and golden tiles, the guards were awe-inspiring, and the courtyard was deep, she felt nervous And look forward to.

At the palace gate, Chuyue was led by the guards sent by Xingchen, and waited in front of the palace gate together with everyone.The guard said in a low voice: "The gate of the palace will open immediately. You are here to wait for the Xizhao mission. The prince is right in front. When the mission arrives and everyone gets busy, they will try to take you away."

Chuyue nodded.At the front of the line of maids and attendants, there was another group of high-ranking officials waiting for the Xizhao mission, and the figures of stars could be faintly discerned among them.

A loud and long horn sounded across the high sky, and the vermilion palace gate slowly opened.Chuyue held her breath and waited for the arrival of the Xizhao Mission.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes came, orderly and low, shaking the ground slightly, and a group of guards of honor gradually came into everyone's sight.The leading cavalry straddled the brave horses, majestic and majestic, all wearing black iron masks, shining cold light in the sun, a scene of awe-inspiring gold and iron horses.After the cavalry, a carriage decorated with gold and jade, surrounded by servants, came slowly.

"The Xizhao Mission has arrived—" the master of ceremonies said, and everyone moved in response. The maids and attendants went up first, ready to welcome the mission.The crowd walked to Xingchen, Chuyue's heart beat like a drum, and she unconsciously turned her head to look at Xingchen.The two looked at each other and nodded in greeting.

This one glance ruined everything.Admiral Su on the side had been looking at the stars with cold eyes early in the morning, now following his gaze, he felt that the appearance of the little maid in the crowd seemed familiar, and he suddenly became suspicious.He moved to step forward, and said, "That maid over there, you, come here!"

Chuyue secretly thought something was wrong, she turned her head and saw that the palace gate was close at hand, she simply got upset, buried her head and ran out quickly.The formation was disrupted, and the crowd suddenly became agitated.

The Xizhao mission had already arrived, and Chuyue slammed into the chaotic crowd like a headless fly, when a war horse suddenly appeared in front of him, with its front hooves raised high, it was about to trample Chuyue under its hooves.She let out an exclamation and closed her eyes in despair.Suddenly, the ground was empty, Chuyue hadn't reacted yet, the whole person had already soared into the air, and in a blink of an eye, he was picked up by the knight on the horse and thrown aside.

Chuyue managed to get up from the ground, and Admiral Su had already arrived.Seeing her face clearly, Admiral Su hurriedly called everyone to surround her: "Princess Chuyue, you dare to escape from the palace privately, what should you do!"

"Who said I escaped from the palace privately?" Chuyue clapped her hands pretending to be calm, "My princess is just curious and wanted to see the demeanor of the Xizhao Mission, but unexpectedly, I was swept away by you!"

Admiral Su didn't bother to listen to her argument: "Arrest Princess Chuyue first, so as not to offend the Xizhao mission. After the court has seen the mission, I will ask the Holy Majesty to make a decision!"

"Who said she ran into the mission?" Everyone was about to make a move, but they heard a female voice from the direction of the mission, as cold as a clear spring, but with a decisive killing spirit.

Chuyue turned around in astonishment, and saw that the knight who had just rescued her had reined in his horse and stopped, and raised his hand to take off the black iron mask underneath, revealing a beautiful and heroic face with distinct features.There was a hint of impatience in the clear eyes of glass color.

Admiral Su said: "Who are you?"

The woman on the horse's gaze fell on Chuyue lightly, and then looked away in a blink of an eye.She turned her head to look at Admiral Su, her high bundled black hair swayed in the morning light, her heroic posture said, "I am this time's envoy, Princess Xizhao Naxi."
