The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Yiheng took a sip of his wine and said, "I can swear! In addition, if Xiao Jing loses his reputation, it will be good for you. You have one less opponent, so why not do it?"

Xiao Rui nodded and asked, "Okay, then it's a deal. Now can you tell me how you plan to deal with Xiao Jing? How can I help you?"

"I have my own plan, and I will explain it to you when the time comes." Xiao Yiheng smiled gloomyly, as if he wanted to deal with Xiao Jing wholeheartedly.

Xiao Rui said quickly: "That's good! Then I'll wait for the good news! Farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, when they left Chu Palace, they suddenly saw the carriage of Li's Mansion pull up, and Li Xiu'er was slowly getting down from the carriage.

Chapter 394: The Mission of the State of Qi

Xiao Rui didn't expect to meet Li Xiu'er by chance.

Not seeing each other for a few days, Li Xiu'er's beautiful appearance became more refined, and she also saw Xiao Rui, and a look of joy immediately appeared between her beautiful eyebrows, but considering that she was in front of the Chu Palace, she hid the joy in her heart.

"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Rui stepped forward and said a very reluctant address.

Li Xiu'er nodded, suddenly feeling strong stimulation and excitement in her heart.

"When did His Royal Highness Xian come to the mansion? You are really neglectful." Li Xiuer asked softly.

Xiao Rui said: "Second brother invited him to a banquet, so he hurried over here. Sister-in-law just came back from Li's residence?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui blinked secretly.

Xiao Rui naturally knew that Li Xiu'er didn't live in the Chu Palace at all, and either stayed with her great-grandmother or lived in Jingyuan. Why did she suddenly return to the Chu Palace today?If nothing happened, she would definitely not come back.

Li Xiu'er saw Xiao Rui's concern, and she was happy in her heart, but she couldn't answer, so she could only say: "Your second brother has something urgent, so he hurriedly called me back."

It was inconvenient for the two of them to talk too much standing in front of the mansion, so Xiao Rui took the initiative to leave, and Li Xiuer also entered the Chu Palace.

In the carriage, Xiao Rui's eyes flickered.

Li Xiuer herself didn't want to go back to the Chu Palace, but the King of Chu called the Palace tonight. It must be that the King of Chu used some means to force her to rush back.

"Yuan Fang, you stay here and secretly contact Zhong Ling, asking him to take you into Chu Wang's mansion, and see what the Chu king's plot is in calling Li Xiu'er back!" Xiao Rui was worried and immediately arranged.

Fortunately, the Yang organization has fully cooperated with Xiao Rui, and Zhong Ling is hiding in the secret passage of the Chu Palace, asking her to take Li Yuanfang into the safe.

This time he was able to overthrow Duke Xi and found so many ironclad evidences, Dongchang contributed more than half of his efforts, and the Yang organization contributed less than half of the credit!They supported the king of Chu, so they naturally knew the evidence of Duke Xi's crimes in detail. Looking for evidence from the inside has always been the fastest way since ancient times. Otherwise, even if Jia Xu was clever, it would be difficult to dig out so much evidence.

Li Yuanfang immediately disappeared into the night.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanfang returned to the palace.

"Your Highness, Miss Li didn't see the King of Chu after she entered the palace of the King of Chu, so she went back to her own house to rest, but the King of Chu drank very late and got very drunk." Li Yuanfang said.

Xiao Rui nodded, he had to meet the Qi State Mission today, and there was a dinner tonight, so he didn't have time to see Li Xiu'er, so he had to wait for now.

"Notify Zhong Ling to protect Li Xiu'er for the king. If the king of Chu intends to misbehave, don't be afraid of being exposed, just take Li Xiu'er away!" Xiao Rui ordered.

Li Yuanfang clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

If Xiao Yiheng were here, he would definitely growl and shout, Li Xiuer is my concubine, so what the hell is my intention to do anything wrong?Xian Wang, you bastard, which one of us has evil intentions!

Next, Xiao Rui changed into formal clothes and left the palace with Jia Xu and Guo Jia. The Shaoqing from the Honglu Temple outside the mansion and the Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites had been waiting for a long time. Xiao Rui got into the carriage, and a group of people went out of the city to meet the Qi State delegation. .

Ten miles north of Kyoto, the Qi State Mission is repairing here.

In the center of the mission, a spacious and exquisite carriage was parked, surrounded by a large number of expert guards, and the guards were tight.

In the carriage, a middle-aged man sat quietly, and beside him a woman disguised as a man was making tea, and the fragrance of tea spread throughout the carriage.

"My lord, the guards are here to report that King Xian of Xia Kingdom has brought people out of the city to meet him." The woman's voice was slightly hoarse, as if her voice had been injured, but it was not unpleasant and very magnetic.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, and Xiao Rui's appearance was quite familiar to him. This person was Ye Wendao, Xiao Rui's biological uncle.

As the saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle, and there is a certain truth to it.

Ye Wendao picked up a cup of tea and drank it down, and then said: "When my sister Ye Qianlan died, my father and I were unable to see her for the last time. This is my father's regret, and it is also my regret. Fortunately, Qianlan Ying has always been in Xia Guo, protecting him secretly. Xia Huang also ignored him in order to protect him. Although he suffered some grievances, suffering can make people grow! Now that he has grown up, he believes that Qianlan is in the spirit of the sky, and also I can be pleased."

The woman hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what is your majesty's intention in letting you be the envoy of this mission?"

"Our new emperor has used many methods in the past three years since he ascended the throne. He wanted to be a sage and enlightened ruler, so he started drastic reforms in the second year. He wanted to lead Qi to glory, so the grievances between Qi and Xia can be counted again. What? In addition, our Majesty has opinions on the aged Emperor Zhao, and because of the big differences in cooperation, the marriage and alliance between Qi and Zhao have cracked for many years, and it may be interrupted one day. This There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in this world." Ye Wendao said.

The woman nodded and said: "So His Majesty sent the prince to try his best to promote Qi and Xia's alliance!"

Ye Wendao shook his head and said, "No way!"

The woman was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Ye Wendao said with a smile: "Qi and Xia have grievances, they are enemies, so the people of the two countries hate each other. Along the way, you have also seen the attitude of the people of Xia towards us. But if Emperor Xia supports Qi and Xia's alliance Who would dare to oppose Xia's civil and military ministers and people? This is Xia Huang's courage and ability. But what about our new emperor? Sending this king to Xia this time has caused a lot of trouble, even turmoil in the court. The countless nobles and veterans in the court are all hostile to the State of Xia and are keen to continue to form an alliance with the State of Zhao. Your Majesty is under great pressure. Moreover, the State Council of Zhao tolerated the betrayal of the covenant by the State of Qi and turned to the State of Xia? The aged Emperor Zhao is a vengeance How can he not make trouble?"

Only then did the woman understand, and said: "So, Your Majesty sent the prince here just to make a formality?"

Ye Wendao nodded, and said: "That's right, it's a wading, to see the situation, Your Majesty needs to see which civil and military ministers and nobles are the loudest in the court, and who is Zhao's hard-core ally. Xia Guo sent out a signal, and beat Zhao Huang as well!"

Speaking of this, Ye Wendao looked at the woman and said, "It's you, why did you come with me?"

The woman smiled: "It's just that I came out to see the world. I have long heard about the prosperity of the Xia Kingdom, and I have been fascinated for a long time."

Ye Wendao nodded and didn't say much.

At this moment, the guard's voice sounded from outside the carriage: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Xian of Xia Kingdom has come!"

"Let's go out and meet him!" Ye Wendao got up and got out of the carriage.

At this moment, in front of the mission of Qi State, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was communicating with the deputy envoy of Qi State. After going through the routine procedure, Xiao Rui patted his horse forward and finally saw Ye Wendao.

Ye Wendao stepped forward, Xiao Rui got off his horse, and the two relatives who were related by blood met for the first time.

"King Yejun! This king is Xiao Rui, the Seventh Prince of Great Xia. I have been ordered by His Majesty to serve as an envoy to entertain your country's diplomatic mission!" He revealed his identity.

Ye Wendao cupped his hands in return, and said with a smile, "I've heard about King Xian's name for a long time, but seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Xiao Rui said: "Prince Yejun Liao praises him. I don't know how Prince He's health is? I've heard of Prince He's name for a long time, but it's a pity that the journey is so far away that it's hard to see him."

Ye Wendao smiled even more, and said: "My father is in good health, His Royal Highness King Xian can rest assured. There will be a chance to meet in the future."

Xiao Rui nodded, his eyes moved to the woman beside him, and he looked at the woman, the woman smiled back, then staggered her eyes, bowed her head slightly to show respect.

"This is Ye Qianqian." Ye Wendao only mentioned a name, but did not reveal her identity.

Being able to stand with Ye Wendao, and his surname is Ye, presumably he is also a member of the royal family of Qi, but Xiao Rui didn't ask carefully.

On the other side, the deputy envoys of both sides had already completed the process, Xiao Rui said: "Young Lord Ye, please get on the carriage, I will escort your country's mission into the city!"
