The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

He asked His Highness to understand, but his tone was tougher than ever before.

Tuoba Xuan frowned even more tightly. After staring at Zhou Chen for a moment, Tuoba Xuan withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "No."

Zhou Chen frowned: "Your Highness, please think carefully, have you really never shown that painting to anyone else?"

Tuoba Xuan's tone was already somewhat impatient: "I said, I have never given it to anyone else."

"That's strange," Zhou Chen said word by word, "Since Your Highness has never given the painting to anyone else, how could it have been leaked? Now the incident involving the person in the painting has caused a stir, and the court is in turmoil."

Tuoba Xuan's eyes moved, and he looked at Zhou Chen: "Why, more people are helping me find people, isn't that a good thing? Once the person is found, I will sign the peace agreement, and then the two countries will cease fighting, and the people will live and work in peace. Isn't this a good thing?"

Zhou Chen: "It was a beautiful thing, but it has now brought trouble."

"Don't you know what the person in the painting looks like?" Zhou Chen said slowly, "As far as I know, you have seen Empress Chen."

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "So what?"

"Now all the civil and military officials in the court are asking Your Majesty to hand over the Concubine Chen to ensure peace between the two countries." Zhou Chen stared at Tuoba Xuan and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, please think about it. Will His Majesty agree to this? Or, will His Majesty be furious about this? At that time, what benefits can you get from it?"

"Your Highness, Lady Chen Fei, is she really the person you want?"

There was already a hint of aggression in Zhou Chen's tone.

Tuoba Xuan's expression was also very ugly, and he frowned tightly: "The person in my painting is not the Concubine Chen, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"But this painting has been leaked," Zhou Chen said coldly, "and now it's related to Empress Chen."

Tuoba Xuan: "...That has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Chen looked at Tuoba Xuan steadily: "Does it really have nothing to do with Your Highness?"

Tuoba Xuan stood up at once and looked straight at Zhou Chen: "Why, do you really regard me as a suspect under your control and want to interrogate me whenever you want?"

Zhou Chen stared at Tuoba Xuan for a moment, then took a step back and said calmly, "I don't dare."

After a pause, he continued, "His Majesty was furious about this matter and ordered a thorough investigation. If it has nothing to do with Your Highness, that would be the best."

"It would be even better if Your Highness could provide some clues."

Tuoba Xuan turned his head and said calmly: "I don't know anything, don't waste your time."

Zhou Chen glanced at him, said nothing more, turned around and walked out.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Tuoba Xuan's attendant was so angry that he kicked the door sill fiercely and said angrily: "This is really too much. Who do they think you are, Your Highness? How dare they treat you like this!"

Tuoba Xuan closed his eyes and said slowly: "Their emperor is more angry than I thought. Those ministers are still kneeling outside the Yinghua Palace... Zhou Chen didn't attack me, which is considered patience."

The servant pursed his lips and dared not say anything else.

They came to negotiate this time, feeling really aggrieved. They did not enjoy any treatment as peace envoys, but instead felt like prisoners of others, feeling humiliated and angry. From top to bottom, no one dared to speak out.
