The news that Lin Jiuqing had rudely dismissed the envoys reached Mo Xiao's ears two hours later.

Zhou Chen was standing below, laughing as he spoke: "Those envoys are still clamoring for Your Majesty to hand over the woman who destroyed the peace between the two countries and give them an explanation."

Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing when he recalled the scene of himself meeting those envoys in the afternoon.

When he went there, he happened to see the imperial guards dragging the envoys back. It would have been fine if they were just dragging them, but the envoys had handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths. If their hands were tied with ropes, they would look like prisoners, which stunned Zhou Chen.

When the envoys saw Zhou Chen, they acted as if they had seen a savior. They hummed at him and stared at him with bright eyes.

After Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, he coughed and asked the imperial guards: "What's going on?"

The leading imperial guard clasped his fists to Zhou Chen and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhou, these people have trespassed into Yinghua Palace. We have been ordered to send them all back."

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "On orders? On whose orders?"

According to his understanding of Mo Xiao, these people should not be able to get close to Yinghua Palace, let alone see Mo Xiao. Therefore, it is impossible that they were following Mo Xiao's orders.

As expected, the imperial guard said softly, "It is the order of Consort Chen of Lanyin Palace."

Zhou Chen staggered and almost fell, his eyes widened.

He coughed lightly, moved closer to the imperial guard, and asked in a low voice, "Did you meet the Concubine Chen?"

The Imperial Guard nodded, his eyes full of admiration, and lowered his voice to say to Zhou Chen: "The Concubine said that when we are in our place, we must abide by our rules. Don't be too polite to them."

Zhou Chen burst out laughing, then muttered softly, "I really didn't realize she had this side."

When he looked at the envoys with handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths, he felt relieved.

However, you still have to do your best to save your face.

Zhou Chen stood up, coughed lightly, and said to the imperial guards: "Okay, the people have been sent back, let's forget it."

The royal guards were also smart people. They simply pulled the handkerchiefs out of the envoys' mouths and turned away.

As soon as those ferocious imperial guards left, all the envoys gathered in front of Zhou Chen, criticizing the emperor's favorite concubine and making solemn protests, demanding that the emperor give them an explanation.

Zhou Chen managed to calm the man down and immediately ran to Yinghua Palace.

Zhou Chen held back his laughter and looked up at Mo Xiao's expression. He saw that the emperor, who was usually as cold as an iceberg, was now almost grinning.

Mo Xiao didn't even bother to read the memorial. He threw it aside, leaned back and said with a smile, "Although Qingqing looks gentle and kind, she has a bad temper. Those envoys who provoke her will naturally not have a good ending."

"You don't know how much I suffered at her hands when I first went to Jiangnan."

These words seemed like complaints, but to Zhou Chen they sounded like bragging.

"Yes, yes, the Concubine Chen does not look like that kind of person." Zhou Chen agreed dryly.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but ask Mo Xiao: "Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?"

The envoys clamored for an explanation from the imperial court, otherwise they would be destroying the peace and start a war when they returned.

Mo Xiao sneered: "Didn't Qingqing say that? In our place, we must abide by our rules."
