The faces of the imperial guards behind Mo Chuan suddenly changed.
"How dare you ridicule the Emperor! Do you know your crime?" The leader of the Royal Forest Army could not hold back and shouted sternly at the Northern Qi envoy.
The Northern Qi envoy raised his chin proudly, sat motionless in his chair, and snorted: "What is my crime? Is what I said not the truth?"
Shen Ning took a step forward and said in a colder tone than the Northern Qi envoy: "Whether it is true or not, let's speak with the facts. We are here this time just to find out the truth of the matter."
Her voice was as cold as ice, like crisp beads hitting a jade plate, the clearer and sweeter it sounded.
The Northern Qi envoy couldn't help but raise his head, looked at her a few times, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Woman? Who are you? This is a national matter, how can you, a woman, have any place to comment?" His tone became more contemptuous, and he said to Mo Chuan: "Your country really can't find anyone to come, and you actually let a woman come out to point fingers. ”
Mo Chuan's face hardened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The Northern Qi envoy felt a chill on his back, and he couldn't help but swallow the second half of his words.
He was originally arrogant and arrogant, but when Mo Chuan glared at him, his arrogance unknowingly dropped a bit.
"Please speak with respect, my envoy. This is my queen." Mo Chuan said coldly.
"It turns out to be the Queen. I have met the Queen." The Northern Qi envoy's expression changed slightly, and he finally stood up from his chair and saluted Shen Ning reluctantly.
"The Queen is also here. Did you find the stolen drawings? Or did you find out the identity of the thief?" The sarcasm on his face became a little more serious.
Shen Ning's eyes were always fixed on the messenger, observing every detail of his expression. When she heard this, she smiled faintly.
"I came here this time just to find that blueprint. I heard that the blueprint was placed in a box and disappeared. May I ask, your honorable envoy, where is the box now?"
The Northern Qi envoy sneered: "Of course the box is still there, but the drawings are missing. Queen, you have great powers. Could it be that you want to change the drawings out of the box?"
Shen Ning said calmly: "Please take out the box and let me take a look."
The Northern Qi envoy looked at her coldly and pointed to the table next to him impatiently.
"The box is right there. If the Queen wants to see it, just please do so."
Shen Ning looked in the direction of his finger and saw an eight-jeweled gold box open, revealing the silk satin covered inside. The box was indeed empty.
"Is this the box?"
She walked over, picked up the box, weighed it in her hands, then reached in and touched it.
The Northern Qi envoy sneered: "If you could pull the blueprint out of the box, I would eat this eight-treasure gold box on the spot!"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, almost protruding from their sockets.
Shen Ning took out one of her plain hands from the box, held a few pages of thin drawings between her slender orchid-like fingers, and shook them gently towards him.
"This, this, this..."
The Northern Qi envoy's jaw almost dropped. He looked at the drawing in Shen Ning's hand blankly with a look of disbelief.
"Excuse me, sir, are these drawings the ones that were stolen?"
Shen Ning glanced at the drawing and saw the densely drawn figures on it, and she already knew it.
Although Mo Chuan had expected it in advance, he was still shocked beyond measure when he saw that Shen Ning actually found the blueprints from the gold box.
