Jiang Xunyan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was sitting in front of the desk in the Jiang Kingdom's palace. In front of him were several respectful ministers, as well as an envoy from the Kingdom of Chen.

Chen Guo's envoy nodded and bowed, and presented a letter respectfully, officially Yan Banting wrote the letter of Chen Guogong himself.

"Your Majesty, this letter is from Princess Yan to His Majesty, and upon receipt of the letter, His Majesty called the ministers to send it to His Majesty for review day and night."

Jiang Xunyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp light flashed, and then he raised his hand lightly, and an eunuch beside him hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter from the envoy's hand, and presented it to Jiang Xunyan.

The eunuch opened the letter, spread it carefully on the table, and then stepped aside respectfully.

Jiang Xunyan turned slightly sideways, leaned on the dragon chair, glanced at the letter a few times, and then waved his hand for the eunuch to put it away.

"My lord, have you read this letter from Princess Yan?"

The envoy knelt on the ground, and before Jiang Xunyan asked him to get up, he kept kneeling, with a look of unbearable pain on his face, but even so, he was still full of smiles, if he kept wagging his tail at his master dog.

"Report to Your Majesty, as soon as the Duke received the letter, he asked his subordinates to deliver it without opening it."

Jiang Xunyan supported his forehead with his hands, showing no expression on his face.

"So, he hasn't seen it?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xunyan frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then waved his hand.

"I know, back off."

The envoys retreated respectfully, and after the door of the imperial study was closed, only Jiang Xunyan, a personal eunuch serving him, and a few confidants remained.

Jiang Xunyan didn't open his mouth to speak, and no one dared to speak first. They stood with their hands down and their heads bowed, motionless.

"What do you think this letter wrote?"

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Xunyan finally spoke, and the moment he opened his mouth, people guessed what the letter Yan Banting sent to Duke Chen was about.

An old courtier said tremblingly.

"I dare to guess, but is it a letter to solicit the Duke?"

Another younger courtier shook his head, denying the old courtier's guess.

"No one in the world knows who doesn't know. Chen Guo and I, Jiang Guo, have been friends for generations. The canal of Chen Guo is in our hands. Besides, the two princes of Chen Guo are still staying in the capital. If Yan Guo Want to solicit, it is not clear that it is fetching water from a bamboo basket?"

The old courtier shook his head, feeling that the young courtier was short-sighted.

"This statement is wrong. Although Chen Guo is indeed on good terms with our country, he has been pledged by our country all year round, so it is inevitable that he will feel dissatisfied. Now that the former crown prince rebelled, and Yan Guo repeatedly violated our borders, this old minister can't help but feel dissatisfied with Chen Guo .”

The two couldn't stop arguing, and Jiang Xunyan listened to their argument without saying a word. After a while, he stretched out his hand and patted the table lightly.

The two immediately shrank their necks, and they didn't dare to speak any more.

Jiang Xunyan glanced at the letter on the corner of the table and snorted coldly.

"He dared to send this letter without knowing what it was written in? In my opinion, this old man is too old and his brain is not bright. He has stayed in this position for too long. It is time to find someone to replace him." .”

Jiang Xunyan's meaning was clear, if he hadn't read the letter from Yan Guo to Duke Guo, how dare he send it to Jiang Xunyan for reading.

He obviously read it, but he wanted to tell the envoy to say that he didn't read it. Originally, he wanted to flatter, but he didn't want the flattery to be slapped on the ass of the flattery.

Jiang Xunyan stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, stood by the window without looking at the few courtiers behind him, and said to himself.

"The position of the queen has not been determined yet, it seems that there should be a great joy, to flush out these bad things."

A few days later, news came from Jiang Guo that the new emperor Jiang Xun made a decree that the person to marry was Xia Xiangguo's eldest daughter.

When internal strife continued and foreign troubles continued, Jiang Guo had a big celebration.

The common people were the most forgetful, and when they heard the news that the new emperor was appointed as the empress, and the daughter of Xia Xiangguo who had always supported the former crown prince, there was a lot of discussion.

When Yan Wanting heard the news, it happened to come along with another news.

Chen Guo's old Duke died suddenly two nights ago.

Yan Wanting was sitting on the edge of the bed in Jingling Palace's bedroom, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand to feed Xia Qiulian.

Yue'er curled up and sucked her thumb, lying beside Xia Qiulian, soundly asleep.

Li Fengyou informed Yan Wanting of the two news in one breath, but Yan Wanting didn't respond, but gently wiped the medicine juice from Xia Qiulian's lips with a handkerchief, and then said something lightly.

"This palace knows."

These are two major events. Seeing that Yan Banting didn't respond, Li Fengyou hurriedly called out.

"Your Highness..."

Yan Wanting shook his head, signaling Li Fengyou to stop talking.

"Feng You, after Qiu Lian finishes drinking the medicine, you and Ben Gong can go out and talk. Don't disturb Qiu Lian to wake up Yue'er."

Li Fengyou swallowed the words in his mouth, stood aside respectfully and did not speak again.

After Xia Qiulian had fed all the medicine in the bowl, Yan Banting put down the bowl and poured out a small grain of maltose from the sachet on his waist.

She put it in her mouth and bit off a small piece, then gently placed it on Xia Qiulian's lips, and gently pushed her fingertips into Xia Qiulian's lips, her eyes were full of lingering questions, she whispered softly road.

"Qiu Lian, this medicine is so bitter, it won't be so bitter after eating sugar."

Li Fengyou watched from the side, looked away, and sighed faintly in his heart.

Concubine Xian is not good every day, and His Highness will lose weight day by day.

After pulling the corners of the quilt for one big and one small on the bed, Yan Banting got up and pointed out the door.

Then Li Fengyou went out with her and stood in the yard.

"Your Highness."

Yan Wanting stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching temple.

"Jiang Xunyan is a suspicious person now that there is chaos in Jiang's country and outside. Although Chen Guo has always been a vassal of Jiang's country and has always looked forward to Jiang's horse, but now that Jiang's country is troubled by foreign troubles, he is not at ease with Chen Guo and will do this. It was within my expectations.”

Li Fengyou understood Yan Wanting's meaning, but she didn't understand why Yan Wanting's letter was not addressed to the monarch of Chen Guo, but to the Duke.

"Then why did His Highness send the letter to that useless old duke of Chen Guo?"

Yan Wanting smiled slightly, walked around a bonsai with some withered branches and leaves twice, reached out and picked off a withered yellow leaf.

"The Duke of Chen State is indeed useless, but his daughter is the most beloved concubine of the Emperor Chen State. Her father sent her to Jiang State after receiving the letter from the palace, and then died suddenly. As long as she is not a pig head I don’t know what’s going on. It’s said that what men are most afraid of is bedside wind, what’s more, I don’t think the king of Chen Kingdom is a loyal dog.”

Even a stupid king would not think that his own rights and his own country are always in the hands of other countries. Yan Banting understands this truth and Jiang Xunyan naturally understands it too.

It's just that Chen Guo didn't dare to act rashly, so she would add another fire, if one was not enough, she would add another.

She doesn't believe that fire burns her butt, and Chen Guo is still willing to shrink back and be an obedient dog.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard the sound of welcoming drivers coming from outside.

After a while, Ye Zhaoyin led two maids and swaggered in.

She saw Li Fengyou at a glance, and her eyes lit up in an instant, but she caught a glimpse of Yan Wanting beside her, so she restrained herself a little, walked over quickly, and said with a charming smile.

"Why did I meet His Highness again today? His Highness and Sister Xianfei are really close. I can meet His Highness every day in this palace."
