Zhou Chen was troubled by the noise of these envoys, and his tone could not help but rise a few degrees: "The person in your prince's painting has a mole in the corner of his eye, but the Empress Chen does not. They are not the same person at all."

"I understand your eagerness, but you can't confuse people and forcibly snatch them away, right?"

The envoys were stunned, and after thinking carefully, they found that the woman they saw really did not have a mole at the corner of her eye. However, except for that mole, everything else was exactly the same.

Someone was unwilling to give up and said in a deep voice: "If it is true, let's see it and we will know. My prince is inside. If he takes a look, he will understand everything."

"How dare you!" Zhou Chen's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "The Empress Chen is His Majesty's favorite concubine. How can you just go and see her whenever you want?"

"She's just a woman," the envoy said disapprovingly, "A concubine is not a queen. Your emperor can have as many as he wants. Why does he care so much?"

These words were said frivolously, not taking Mo Xiao seriously at all.

Although they had long realized that something was wrong, their years of dominance had entrenched them in their minds, and they could not change their attitude all of a sudden.

When Zhou Chen heard this, he looked over and said slowly: "The Empress Chen said that we must abide by our rules in our place. Since you are unwilling to abide by the rules, then I will have to teach you the rules."

"Someone, take him away and teach him how to speak."

The Royal Guards pushed the door open from outside and dragged out the envoy who had just spoken rudely.

The others looked sullen, and each of them looked fierce but was actually weak: "What are you going to do?"

"Two countries at war do not kill envoys. What do you want to do to us?"

"Master Zhou, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Zhou Chen looked at them screaming and sneered, "Don't worry, I'm just teaching him the rules. I won't hurt him."

Having said that, he winked at the Imperial Guards, who immediately dragged the man away.

The remaining people looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a moment.

Until the door was opened again and Tuoba Xuan walked in from outside, these envoys gathered around him as if they had found their backbone, and told Tuoba Xuan what had just happened.

"Your Highness, they are really going too far."

"That's right. In the past hundred years, no one has dared to do this to us."

"They have no sincerity in peace talks at all."

Tuoba Xuan listened to their conversation, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Okay."

Everyone paused, and then fell silent, staring at Tuoba Xuan intently.

Tuoba Xuan took a deep breath, walked to Zhou Chen, and said slowly: "They are ignorant of the truth and have offended the Empress Chen and His Majesty. I apologize on their behalf. Lord Zhou, please let him go for the sake of our long-standing friendship."

The envoys felt uncomfortable seeing Tuoba Xuan lowering his attitude so much, but they did not dare to speak and just watched eagerly.

Zhou Chen looked at Tuoba Xuan, his tone was a little softer than before. Although he had a smile on his face, there was no room for maneuver in his words: "The Concubine Chen said that we must abide by our rules in our place, and His Majesty means the same thing."

When Tuoba Xuan heard this, he knew that the matter was settled and that person was going to suffer.
