Chapter 468 The Prince of Nanchu
Chapter 468 The Prince of Nanchu
Xiao Jinyao nodded, and then said: "As long as you know this in your heart, don't tell the Shangguan family yet, because we still have no way to determine what the mother-in-law took back then. Her maid is in such a state that we can't tell anything. , that maid’s brother, you’ve also seen it, maybe he has something to hide, and he refuses to reveal what happened back then.”
Although Xiao Changfeng was shocked, he still thought about it.
"I understand, now we have no way to judge what the court's attitude is towards them, and whether that thing will affect the government of Nanchu... As long as we cannot determine this matter, we must be cautious.
Xiao Jinyao nodded, it was easier to talk to smart people.
With just a few words of his own, he understood what he meant.
They stayed at the border for two days, and even Luo Bing felt it was time to leave before they set off again.
The moment he entered the border of Nanchu, Luo Bing's mood seemed to be different.
That kind of relieved expression made Xiao Jinyao even more curious.
It's just that Luo Bing is not easy to talk about. If he doesn't want to tell, others can't ask.
Hu Yuelong finally became active and entered Nanchu. After passing through various inns, he, a member of the Ministry of Rites, needed to deal with them first.
He actually enjoyed doing something for himself, otherwise he would look at Xiao Jinyao and the others' relaxed state during the journey and feel that they would not be able to complete the mission this time and would take the blame when they return...
Since Luo Yan entered Nanchu, his reaction seemed to be stronger.
After final discussion, Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao agreed that they should leave first and let Luo Bing take Luo Yan and Du Wenkang back to the place where they lived, so that Luo Yan could recover.
After the three of them left, Hu Yuelong was also surprised to think that those three people were from Nanchu? Otherwise, how could they enter the territory of Nanchu, and the prince and his concubine let them leave, and the woman's condition was obviously not normal...
He had come all this way just to send a woman with an unqualified IQ back to Nanchu. Why did he feel that everything about this mission was weird?
After all, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, it was not their turn to know this kind of thing first, so it was better to just think of something else.
The closer they got to Jiangdu, the capital of Nanchu, the warmer they felt.
There is no winter here all year round in Nanchu, and the climate is very pleasant, but it suffers a bit more in the summer.
"In two days, we should arrive near Jiangdu..." said the Nanchu official responsible for escorting them.
Every time they arrive at a station, there will be relevant people who will send them to the next station.
They had an unimpeded journey along the way, and it was obvious that the people from Dong Qi had no chance to stumble them.
But after entering Jiangdu, that may not be the case.
After fifteen days of trekking and two days of rest, they finally arrived in Jiangdu.
When he was stationed outside the city, people from Nanchu came out to greet him. The person who came this time turned out to be Huangfu Huai'an, the crown prince of Nanchu.
They were led by a heir apparent. In fact, all they had to do was ask an official from the Ministry of Rites or an ordinary prince to come forward. Unexpectedly, the other party came directly to show off the biggest advantage.
Hu Yuelong was confused. No wonder their prince was not in a hurry along the way. It turned out that he was already sure.
In fact, he really thought too much. Xiao Jinyao himself didn't know why the other party wanted to create such a big battle.
"Nice to meet you……"
Huangfu Huai'an didn't even wait for them to say hello, he rushed over directly and talked to them very enthusiastically.
That expression was like that of a long-lost brother.
This scene made Xiao Jinyao even more confused. The prince of Nanchu, this operation should be to test them, right?
They still followed the etiquette that they should do and did not give Nan Chu any chance to find fault. Then they agreed with Huangfu Huai'an's words.
Shu Yunzhao also behaved gracefully and did not directly roll his eyes or express any contempt for the feudal royal power.
Huangfu Huai'an glanced at her and asked curiously: "I heard that Princess An has superb medical skills and can have such attainments at such a young age. At first, we all thought it was a lie, until I heard Mr. Mo's confirmation, He said that he had personally seen the Crown Princess perform a long-lost acupuncture technique, and the Crown Prince is indeed extremely lucky to have such a wife."
Xiao Jinyao always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions.
They will arrange to stay at a posthouse outside the city today, and they will just enter the city early tomorrow morning.
Unexpectedly, after the prince settled everything, he did not leave directly, but chose to live with them.
The guards in this inn are so full that not even a fly can get in.
Huangfu Huai'an stayed up all night and came to chat with them. He said that he had always wanted to visit the Central Plains. He longed for the mountains and water there. He also heard that Daxia has four seasons, and they are distinct. They basically only have one season here and it will be very monotonous.
Huangfu Huaian's talkativeness made Xiao Jinyao even think that he was a prince in disguise. He was already overqualified when he came to greet the delegation.
As a result, not only did he not feel depressed, he seemed to enjoy it quite a lot.
"May I ask the prince, who is responsible for welcoming Dong Qi's envoy?"
Xiao Jinyao still asked. If he didn't interrupt Huangfu Huaian, he would tell them they were sleepy.
This is the first time I have seen such a talkative prince. It has nothing to do with being aloof and caring about words like gold.
"Oh, it's my second brother. We drew lots, and he got Dong Qi. He was depressed for a while..." Huangfu Huai'an was still a little gloating when he said it.
"I heard that they are a prince and a princess. They are just greeted by a prince. But for us, the prince is sent out. Isn't this inappropriate?" Xiao Jinyao asked.
He didn't want to directly let others set things off, at least he was not naive enough to think that they were naturally more popular than the people in Dongqi.
"They are here for marriage, and they are here for me. In fact, we all understand that they want to form an alliance with Nanchu and deal with Daxia together. Do you think we should give them too much courtesy? To be honest, we Nanchu has just been quiet for a few years and doesn’t want to get involved in those messy things.”
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Huaian was so direct, which made Xiao Jinyao and the others a little unable to resist.
Hu Yuelong felt happy in his heart. This trip to Nanchu was really worth it.
At this time, Xiao Jinyao was still thinking whether the other party's words and deeds really came from the heart, or whether he wanted to make them relax their vigilance.
"Your Highness, there seems to be no need to tell us these words." Shu Yunzhao reminded.
Huangfu Huai'an asked very patiently: "It doesn't matter, we will talk about whatever you want to hear."
