Shen Ning's words were neither humble nor arrogant, threatening but also tempting, but in the ears of the Northern Qi envoy, not only did they not feel harsh, but they felt indescribably comfortable.
He had mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't tell how he felt about Shen Ning. He felt admiration, gratitude, and surprise.
Although the queen was young, she was convincing with every word she spoke, and everything she said struck a chord in him, leaving him unable to even utter the word "no".
"The Empress has cleared my grievances, and I am deeply grateful. Whatever the Empress said, I will abide by everything. Your Majesty, we can proceed with this transaction now."
The Northern Qi envoy thought for a while and respectfully presented the drawings in his hands to Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan was slightly stunned. He never expected that the Northern Qi envoy would nod his head so happily.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any silver with me. We can trade again tomorrow." He left the palace in a hurry. As an emperor, it was impossible for him to have any silver with him.
This amount is also huge and needs to be spent from the national treasury.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You can give this drawing to the Emperor first. As for the money, the Emperor can send someone to deliver it anytime. I trust the Emperor and the Queen."
The Northern Qi envoy spoke very generously and passed the drawings in his hand forward a few more times.
He is now beginning to feel that this drawing has become a hot potato. If he continues to stay with him, there may be something unexpected next time. What if the drawing is lost and he does not get the money for the transaction? , How could he have the face to return to Northern Qi to explain to the emperor
Therefore, the sooner the blueprint is sent out, the better. Even if the Queen can clear her grievances, she will never take the blueprint without paying.
Mo Chuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take the drawing, and said: "Then I will accept it first. As for the money, I will instruct the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to send it to the post house. When the time comes, please ask your envoy to collect it."
The Northern Qi envoy seemed to take a long breath of relief, with a smile on his face, and saluted Mo Chuan and Shen Ning again: "I would like to thank the Emperor and the Queen."
The arrogance and domineering air disappeared from his face, and he became very humble and polite.
If the Imperial Guards hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
The envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty was sincerely grateful to Shen Ning. When the evidence was conclusive and pointed against her in every possible way, she did not care about his rudeness to her. Instead, she exonerated herself. This kindness was worthy of his repayment. .
Otherwise, during his mission to Xichu, he failed to complete the mission assigned by the emperor, and instead was charged with being a thief. Even if Mo Chuan did not punish him, the emperor of Northern Qi would definitely chop off his head after returning home.
Mo Chuan took the drawing, put it in his arms, held Shen Ning's hand and said, "Let's go."
He glanced around and ordered: "The Royal Forest Army will continue to guard the area around the post house. They are not allowed to leave without authorization. Everyone in the post house must be strictly protected. If something happens, I will not be lenient!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your thoughtful consideration." The Northern Qi envoy was even more grateful.
He was originally worried that he would hand over the drawings to Mo Chuan. If the person in charge learned about it and sent someone to sneak into the post house again, I am afraid that this time he would not just take away the drawings, but also take away his own. Head.
With Mo Chuan's order, the lives of his people are guaranteed.
