The Cao faced the spring light outside the hall, and smiled, "Since they insist on running down the road of death, I will grant their wish, what do you say?"

"Bitch, you will die a horrible death!" The series of attacks on Ling Mu Qian Xue had made him hysterical. If not for the fact that she was tightly grabbed by Xiao Ruo Ao and unable to move, she would have pounced on him and devoured her flesh!

Xiao Ruo Ao pushed Mu Qian Xue to the ground and fiercely kicked both of her legs. After the pain made her unable to move, she said without any emotion: "Mu is resentful and disobeying the order, although this trip to Guan Hu didn't had Lu and Huo Feng;

Cao's eyes flashed with glee, and immediately said: "Men, strip her and make her submit!"

Like evil tigers, they ignored Mu Qian Xue's struggles and forcibly stripped her of her Nine Phoenix Imperial Robe. Mu Qian Xue, who had been reared and raised as a poor child, had never been humiliated by someone stripping her of her clothes in public before. The tears that had been held back for a long time finally fell down!

In a single day, the world flipped upside down!

"Your Majesty!" A internal supervision came in and said respectfully: "Someone from the inn has come to report, Northern Week's envoys are outside the palace asking for an audience!"

"The envoy of the Northern Week? What is he doing? " Xiao Ruo Ao was surprised, the Northern Week was the strongest nation on this continent, its border with the West Chu was also the most terrifying enemy to the West Chu, but because of the restraints of the Qi and the Tung Ling, the Northern Week had never found the chance to swallow the West Chu, and so they maintained a delicate balance.

internal supervision lowered his eyes and said: "This servant asked the envoy, but he said that he will only be able to say it after meeting the Your Majesty."

Cao's gaze turned and she said softly: "Could it be that Northern Week sent an envoy here because he found out that Your Majesty annihilated Nanzhao and wanted to test the waters? However... There is a huge gap between Northern Week and Nanzhao, and there is also a huge mountain blocking the way, so logically speaking, we should not have received the news so quickly. "

"Do you want to test the waters? Tell that messenger to come in and ask and you will know." With that, he turned to internal supervision who was waiting at the side and said, "Send the envoys in."

After the internal supervision obeyed and left, Xiao Ruo Ao swept his gaze across Mu Qian Xue in disgust. He then spoke to the internal supervision Chief Steward Li Chang who had been standing by his side the entire time: "Bring her to the Yongde Palace and imprison her together with the other palace maid s.

"Yes." Li Chang respectfully replied, ordering the palace maid to drag Mu Qian Xue out by force. Hearing the latter's venomous curses, the Cao glanced at the Xu Huifei in the hall, and asked sternly: "What, is there anything else the Xu Huifei can do?"

Xu Huifei's body stiffened, she immediately lowered her head and bowed to Xiao Ruo Ao, "Chenqie will take her leave." With a speed that bordered on escape, she left the Myriad Temple. Behind her, the Cao smiled at her in disdain.

Xiao Ruo Ao who was seated on the Nine Dragons Palace throne frowned. He was also a fourth stage official, it had to be known that normally, envoys from other countries would at least be third stage, second stage or even first stage envoys. If the Northern Week Emperor randomly assigned a fourth stage official to send an envoy to the West Chu, he would really not put him in his eyes!

Xiao Ruo Ao's thoughts had always been deep, he did not expose any of this, and politely replied: "No need for formalities."

After Jiang Yue straightened his back, the internal supervision pointed to the Cao beside Xiao Ruo Ao and said: "Honorable envoy, this is my dynasty's Imperial Concubine."

What he meant was for Jiang Yue to bow to Cao, but who would have known that the latter only raised his head arrogantly, without any intention to bow at all, causing internal supervision to feel extremely awkward.

The Cao saw Jiang Yue's rudeness, so she was angry and resentful. Since it was inconvenient for him to act out in public, she could only secretly vent out her anger by pulling on the silk cloth.

Xiao Ruo Ao let out a light cough, and broke the awkward atmosphere within the hall.

Jiang Yue took out a folded book with a yellow silk mask. Both parties held it high and said in a clear voice: "Chiang Mou, under the orders of Your Majesty, has come to submit a letter. Please have a look!"

Jiang Yue lowered his eyes and said: That's right, I hope Chu Di can hand over Princess to you and welcome you back to my country!

Hearing that, Cao immediately said: "No, Mu Qian Xue is the Queen of our country, how can I give it to you!"

Jiang Yue glanced at Xiao Ruo Ao, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "This is the first time Chiang Mou is here, but I didn't know that your country is so open, even a woman can participate in political discussions!"

was not happy to be stabbed so harshly. However, it was true that the Cao was being rude, and Jiang Yue was not wrong. He could only say: "Imperial Concubine, this is a matter between the two countries, you cannot speak carelessly!"

Cao realized that she had made a mistake in her moment of carelessness, bit her lips, and kneeled down: "Chenqie knows that you are wrong, but chenqie thinks that what you said was not wrong. Everyone knows that Mu Qian Xue is the queen of Your Majesty, and is her mother.

"I know." After saying that, he turned to Jiang Yue and said, "What Imperial Concubine said is not unreasonable. Mu Qian Xue is our queen, yet Emperor Zhou wants to bring her to the Northern Week. What kind of logic is this?" On that letter of credence, the Emperor Zhou only wrote the request but not the reason for it.

Jiang Yue smiled slightly, lowered his eyes and said: "In fact, this is not the will of our Your Majesty, but the will of our Nanzhao!"

Xiao Ruo Ao took a deep breath. Almost all of the Nanzhao's capital city's royalty were slaughtered by him, only one person had disappeared, and that was Prince Zhuang's Mu Lin Feng.

He was well aware of the principle of "endless wild fire and fresh wind", so when he found that the Prince Zhuang was gone, he immediately called for people to search everywhere, but it was as if he had found the news out of nowhere, he could not find it at all. Seeing that time had passed, he decided to return to the imperial palace and leave behind a group of soldiers to continue searching the Nanzhao.

"When did Prince Zhuang go there?" Faced with Xiao Ruo Ao's inquiry, the smile in Jiang Yue's eyes became even more pronounced than before, "Naturally, when the Chu Di was exterminating the Nanzhao, Prince Zhuang was also considered lucky. That day, he coincidentally left the city to hunt, avoiding the calamity that killed his own body. In the entire Nanzhao, I heard that he was the only one who survived this calamity; As someone who came from a orthodox Confucian family, he had always advocated mutual respect, trust, and respect. He had always viewed Xiao Ruo Ao's treacherous and unscrupulous actions with contempt.
