The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 458: Jie Kingdom Envoys Enter the Capital

Jixiang rushed to one of the clinics and saw that Cui Hao was unrecognizable.

His face was cut by the knife, with blood and flesh turned inside out, making it impossible to tell who was in front of him.

"Lord Cui?" Jixiang asked tentatively.

The old man on the hospital bed groaned twice, and then uttered a few words with difficulty: "Queen, save this old minister." Then he fainted.

"Ni Xia, prepare for surgery." Jixiang ordered and hurried out of the clinic. Cui Hao had to go to the operating room on the second floor, where the necessary equipment and medicines to save him were available.

By the time Ni Xia and the shop assistants brought Cui Hao to the operating table on the second floor, Jixiang had already changed into surgical gowns. She signaled Ni Xia to help her, and she began to clean Cui Hao's wounds.

After the facial wounds were cleaned, the results of the examination of Cui Hao's internal organs came out.

"There is bleeding in the lungs and a ruptured liver. The murderer is really cruel." Jixiang looked at the test results and saw that Ni Xia had already prepared the surgical instruments.

So she continued to cut open Cui Hao's stomach.

The blood in Cui Hao's abdomen must be drained out quickly, otherwise once the blood accumulates in the abdominal cavity, it will affect the injured lungs and liver. By then, even if Ji Xiang had the medical skills of Hua Tuo, he would probably not be able to wake Cui Hao up.

The reason why Jixiang was so anxious to rescue Cui Hao was not only because she insisted on being a compassionate doctor, but she also wanted to know who had injured Cui Hao so badly. After all, Cui Hao no longer had any military power, and all his accumulated money was divided up by her and Tian Muqiong.

At this time, someone still attacked Cui Hao. There must be some unknown reason behind it.

And the reason might be what Jixiang guessed.

Two hours later, Jixiang finally finished the operation.

As soon as the door of the operating room on the second floor opened, Xie Dongnan hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from Jie State has arrived in Beijing and said he wants to visit you in the palace."

"The Jie Kingdom's envoys have come to Beijing?" Jixiang was surprised. "Why did they suddenly come to Beijing? Why didn't they inform us in advance?"

Xie Dongnan shook his head.

Jixiang thought, "If other countries want to come to my court to pay homage, don't they need to send a notice six months in advance? What does it mean for the Jie Kingdom to launch a surprise attack?"

Xie Dongnan speculated: "Maybe they know that the emperor is personally leading the expedition to the northwest, and that you, the queen, are the only one in charge of the capital, so they want to..."

Jixiang laughed, "Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to bully us orphans and widows?! I will return to the palace now. Xie Dongnan, go contact the two adults Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian and inform them of the Jie Kingdom envoy so that they can be prepared."

"Yes," Xie Dongnan agreed.

When Jixiang came to Xuanyi Pavilion to see patients, she always disguised herself as Doctor Xue, so when she returned to the palace, there was no need to disturb the guards and palace maids. Only a few people around her, such as Guard Li, Erya, and Zaohua, knew about it.

Erya was a little surprised to see that Jixiang returned to the palace early this time. "Are there very few patients in the Xuanyi Pavilion today?" Erya asked as she brought tea to Jixiang.

"Erya, find me the clothes that the emperor wore at the coronation ceremony." Jixiang took a sip of tea and immediately ordered Erya.

Erya was stunned, but this time she didn't ask any more questions and quickly went to find the clothes.

The dark red throne robe was embroidered with a fire phoenix. The gold threads on the phoenix's wings sparkled as the clothes shook.

Arya found it along with the golden crown.

"Madam, shall I change it for you now?"

Jixiang waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment and then we'll talk."

Soon, Guo Ziyi came to report, "Your Majesty, Lord Yan and Lord Xue want to see you."

"Let them in."

Guo Ziyi originally thought that he would follow Emperor Tian Muyu to the northwest to lead the army in person, but Tian Muyu asked him to stay, saying that he did not need the service of eunuchs when leading troops to fight, and that having the guards around him would be enough.

He asked Guo Ziyi to stay in the palace and obey the Empress in everything, and to keep an eye out for evil spirits and monsters for the Empress to prevent them from harming the Empress and the three babies.

So these days, he was more nervous than ever, and he had been carefully keeping an eye on the things happening in each palace, fearing that something might happen in the palace and cause the queen, three princes and the little princess to be disturbed or hurt.

But at the same time, he also had to pay attention to what was happening outside the palace, for fear that someone with ill intentions like Kou Peilin would appear again and bring turmoil to the Great Saint Dynasty.

He had been sending people to keep an eye on Cui Hao, and he was aware of Cui Hao's sudden death. But he felt that it was inappropriate for Cui Hao, a veteran minister of three dynasties, to have the intention of treason, so even though he knew Cui Hao was assassinated, he did not intend to help him.

Unexpectedly, just as Cui Hao was carried into the Xuanyi Pavilion, someone in the capital saw the envoy of Jie State entering the city.

The Jie State is the country that the emperor wants to target this time. Although they are just a small country hiding behind the East Turkestan State, they have been providing food and fodder to the East Turkestan cavalry, so their relationship with the East Turkestan State can be said to be quite close.

They must have some ulterior motive in sending people to Beijing at this time.

As soon as they entered the capital, they rushed to the palace without even entering the post station, insisting on seeing the Queen Mother. This made Guo Ziyi's heart alarm bells ring, and he was worried that they would do something inappropriate.

Officials such as Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian had already been waiting outside the palace, so as soon as Guo Ziyi's men called them, they rushed over at full speed.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Queen." As Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian entered the hall, they knelt down to Jixiang.

At this time, Jixiang was dressed in court robes, solemn and majestic, sitting on a chair next to the dragon throne on the stage, looking like he was overlooking the world.

"Stand up." Jixiang extended his hand to signal Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian to stand up. "I called you two here in a hurry because the envoys from Jie Kingdom are coming to the capital. I want to ask you two for advice. How should I respond later?"

Xue Huai'en was stunned and looked at Jixiang with disbelief.

Yan Henian did not react to Jixiang's words. He stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Jie State is a hidden danger to our dynasty. If they come to the capital at this time, they must have ulterior motives. Your Majesty, you don't have to see them."

Jixiang waved his hand, "No, since the two adults also know that they have bad intentions, I think we should meet them as soon as possible."

Yan Henian was startled.

Xue Huai'en nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, what you said is correct. The envoy of Jie State should be summoned immediately."
