The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Jixiang nodded, then turned to look at Yan Henian, "Lord Yan, although it is good for us to delay this matter, the war in the northwest is imminent. We must find out their purpose of coming to the capital as soon as possible so that we can respond as soon as possible and not hinder the emperor and his army."

Xue Huai'en nodded, "Your Majesty is right. This matter cannot be delayed."

Yan Henian thought for a moment and said, "I understand what the Queen and Lord Xue meant, but Jieguo has just arrived and asked for a meeting, so they must have made sufficient preparations. If we are not careful and make mistakes, I am afraid they will take advantage of us."

Jixiang smiled.

"Master Yan, do you not trust yourself? You and Master Xue will be responsible for this matter. I think that as the two of you, the most important officials of our Great Saint Dynasty, you should be able to handle an envoy from a small Jie Kingdom, right?"

"This is certainly not a problem for this old minister!" Yan Henian was instantly led astray by Jixiang. He originally wanted to persuade Jixiang to wait for two days before meeting the envoy of Jie State, but in a blink of an eye, he became a supporter of Jixiang.

The envoy of Jie State was named Tuoba Hong, a sturdy man six feet tall, about thirty years old, accompanied by several guards. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

He arrived at the main hall and presented the documents first.

Jixiang motioned to Xue Huai'en to look at it first. Xue Huai'en looked a little unhappy after reading it, and then showed it to Yan Henian.

Yan Henian's face darkened after reading it.

The two of them looked at Jixiang, and Jixiang still signaled them to make their own decision.

Seeing that the two old ministers were hesitant and did not dare to make a decision, and that the woman in the hall did not seem to be able to make a decision either, Tuoba Hong felt proud.

"I never thought that the once famous Great Saint Dynasty would become so unbearable after two emperors met with accidents one after another. In such a huge court, no one dares to speak. Hahahaha"

His wanton and arrogant laughter echoed in the hall, making Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian's faces look even uglier.

"Master Tuoba, are you too arrogant? How dare you ask our Great Saint Dynasty for 500,000 dan of grain and 100,000 dan of salt? How dare you?!"

Xue Huai'en was very angry and questioned Tuoba Hong loudly.

Tuoba Hong was not annoyed, and looked at Xue Huai'en provocatively, "Isn't the third prince of your Great Saint Dynasty worth this price?"

Jixiang in the hall was stunned. Could it be that Tian Muqiong was in the hands of Jie State?

Didn’t Cui Hao say that he was in sole command of the Northwest Army and dominated the Northwest?

"Which third prince is Lord Tuoba referring to?" Jixiang asked.

Tuoba Hong didn't think highly of Jixiang at all, thinking that as a woman, she must have no ability in the male-dominated Great Saint Dynasty, so he said with disdain,

"Of course it is your late emperor Li Kangdi's third son, Tian Muqiong, who has now been named King of Qiong by the new emperor."

"You're talking nonsense. King Qiong is now stationed in the northwest, guarding the northwestern border for our Great Saint Dynasty!" Yan Henian immediately retorted in a voice as loud as a bell.

Tuoba Hong laughed again, "Gangding the northwest for you? Lord Yan is so sure about this, but did you see it with your own eyes?"

Yan Henian naturally knew that he was talking nonsense, but he didn't want to admit it.

"The prince of our Great Saint Dynasty cannot be in your hands!" he emphasized again.

Tuoba Hong looked at Jixiang in the hall and said, "Empress of the Great Saint Dynasty, do you think so too? Your King Qiong is not in our hands now, but is guarding the northwest for you?"

Jixiang also laughed.

"Whether the King of Qiong is in your hands or not, he is not worth the price you mentioned. Therefore, I can now answer the envoy of your Jie Kingdom that you will not get any food or salt!"

There was a firmness in the auspicious words, which made Tuoba Hong's heart tremble.

He turned his head and looked at Xue Huai'en again, "Who will make the decision for this negotiation, you two old ministers or the queen in the hall?"

Xue Huai'en quickly bowed to Jixiang and said, "Of course, it is our Queen who makes the decision."

Tuoba Hong's face turned stern and he turned to look at Jixiang again.

"Empress, don't you want to save your King Qiong? He is the brother of the current emperor. If the officials and people of the Great Saint Dynasty knew that the emperor did not want to save his brother who was stranded outside, how would they look at him?"

The provocation in Tuoba Hong's eyes was like a flaming volcano. He wished he could devour all the people in the hall immediately and then have their Jie Kingdom take over the Great Saint Dynasty.

How could Jixiang not see what Tuoba Hong was thinking? He sneered again.

"Lord Tuoba has brought false news to deceive us. According to the laws of our dynasty, we can arrest you and put you in jail and punish you according to the law."

When Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian heard this, they were worried that Jixiang would make a big deal out of it, so they tried to exchange glances with each other.

Jixiang signaled them to stay calm and stared at Tuoba Hong.

The panic on Tuoba Hong's face flashed away, and he said firmly, "Diplomatic relations between two countries never make things difficult for envoys. If the Great Saint Dynasty arrests us and puts us in jail, aren't you afraid that our Jie Kingdom will resist?"

"Since I dare to say it, I am not afraid." Jixiang said calmly, "It was your Jie Kingdom envoy who deliberately deceived first. The fault lies with you. If our Great Saint Dynasty still adheres to diplomatic etiquette to the liar, wouldn't it mean that the country does not know right from wrong and the ministers do not know how to protect the country? Such a Great Saint Dynasty is not the Great Saint Dynasty that the people want."

"Yes, yes," Xue Huai'en immediately continued, "Our Great Saint Dynasty is a country of etiquette, the people know etiquette, and the country respects the law. Naturally, we will not condone scammers to run rampant and disrupt the rule of law!"

"You guys!" Tuoba Hong knew that Jixiang and Xue Huai'en were talking about him, and he raised his hand and pointed at them angrily, "You guys are trying to frame King Qiong to death!"

Jixiang suddenly stood up, walked down from the stage and walked towards Tuoba Hong.

Her dark red court dress was intimidating, and her eyes were sharp. As she walked towards Tuoba Hong step by step, Tuoba Hong felt as if there was an invisible strong hand, gradually increasing its strength to strangle his throat.

"You, you!" He pointed at Jixiang, his face gradually turning red, "What did you do to me?! If you dare to disrespect me, our Jie Kingdom will, will..."

He felt that his breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and he felt as if he was about to explode.

"An envoy from Jie State actually dared to come to the court of my Great Saint Dynasty to threaten me. I am giving you face, am I not?!" As she said this, she slapped Tuoba Hong in the face, startling Tuoba Hong, Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian on the side.

"How dare you hit me!?" Tuoba Hong pointed at Jixiang and asked again.

He suddenly felt the stuffiness in his chest disappear, but what followed was an extremely auspicious air pressure that made him no longer feel his own height.

Obviously, he was a head taller than her, but at the moment, his knees were inexplicably weak and he bent his legs, and he even wanted to kneel down to the woman in front of him!

Tuoba Hong tried hard to control his legs that wanted to kneel down, and used all his strength to express his anger.

"I represent the Jie Kingdom. If you dare to attack me, aren't you afraid that the Jie Kingdom will send troops to attack your Great Saint Dynasty?"

Jixiang laughed.

"I dare to fight you, so I'm not afraid. Do you think we don't know that your Jie Kingdom secretly assisted the Turks in invading our northwest border? Do you think we don't know about the mean deeds your Jie Kingdom did behind the scenes?"

"Tuoba Hong, didn't you come to Beijing this time to take advantage of the fact that we don't know the true situation of Tian Muqiong and try to blackmail him? But you miscalculated. We now know Tian Muqiong's situation clearly!"

Tuoba Hong was stunned. "Impossible! The Northwest has long lost contact with your court. You can't possibly know their situation!"

Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian finally realized that Jie State had actually planned this. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when they looked at Tuoba Hong again, there was no worry on their faces.

Let the Queen do whatever she wants. After all, so far, the Queen has not done anything to harm the Great Holy Dynasty.

So Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian both turned their gazes away.

But just as the two of them looked away, they heard a scream, and Tuoba Hong's fingers were broken by Jixiang.
