With his abilities, he can get in touch with many people, but the ones who can talk to the King of England are... not very...
What is the temperament of this King of England? Not to mention that he is just a small aide, even if the General of the Auxiliary State is here, he has to be careful when facing the King of England.
Other officials might care about the fact that the Auxiliary General holds a large number of troops, but the King of England would not. Although he is in the capital now, he has more military power on the border than the Auxiliary General, and in name the Auxiliary General is also under his control. As a general king, he is a level higher than other generals.
"Am I the only one who can go?" asked Prince Qi Lie. He had his reasons for having to go to the Ling Anbo Mansion. This reason was acceptable to other people, but might not be sufficient for the King of England.
"We can only rely on Your Highness." Mr. Xiao said with a wry smile. This matter had nothing to do with the King of England, but now that the King of England had taken a strong action, Prince Qilie had no choice but to accept it.
The room suddenly became quiet. The more Prince Qi Lie thought about it, the more complicated it seemed. Could it be that the woman had really changed her mind and felt that she would have a bright future if she followed Pei Yuanjun? So she told Pei Yuanjun everything in order to gain his favor
If this is really the case, he cannot keep this woman.
Now nothing is known, and no one knows where that woman has gone. Even if he wants to ask, he can't get any information for the time being. Prince Qi Lie is in a dilemma.
"Your Highness, why don't you go and pay a visit to His Royal Highness the King of England first. When you first came to Beijing, it was the King of England who came to pick you up on behalf of the Great Zhou. Although it was not him you came into contact with later, as the prince of Northern Frontier, it is only right for you to thank the King of England on behalf of Northern Frontier." Mr. Xiao saw that he was frowning, so he thought of a way for him.
"Okay." Prince Qi Lie had no other choice but to do this after thinking about it.
At first, he felt that there was no need to contact Pei Yuanjun directly, and he was still very satisfied. Now he realized that if the King of England wanted to make a move, he really had no way to stop him.
"Is there really no one in your Great Zhou who can cure him?" Prince Qilie frowned and complained.
"It seems that there is no way. The emperor... has always trusted the King of England." Mr. Xiao's voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.
"Why? Could it really be the old Princess of Yun?" Prince Qilie said unhappily. He had done his business well, and everything was ready, but suddenly it didn't go as planned. How could he not be annoyed
There are rumors outside that there is something going on between the Princess of Yun County and the Emperor.
"This... is impossible. Our general has mentioned this before." Mr. Xiao shook his head.
Prince Qi Lie stood up, turned around a few times, cursed fiercely, and then sat down on the chair again: "Mr. Xiao, don't you have any other way to know this?"
Prince Qi Lie looked at Mr. Xiao unkindly: "When I saw you, didn't you seem to be well-informed? You could even handle something like that, but why can't you handle such a small matter now?"
Mr. Xiao's face turned pale, and he showed a bit of fear on his face. He hurriedly shook his hand: "Your Highness, please don't say such things. This kind of thing is not... my credit. I dare not take away the credit of heaven."
"Mr. Xiao, you are too cowardly. It's been so long since this happened, and the prince doesn't care about it anymore. Why do you still care?" Prince Qi Lie curled his lips sarcastically and said disapprovingly, "The prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom... hehe... is really stupid!"
Mr. Xiao didn't dare to respond, and didn't know how to respond.
He was an aide to the general of the Great Zhou Kingdom. In a sense, Pei Luoan was also his master. Speaking ill of his master, even if it was just on the surface, made him uneasy, especially since this was the capital, right under Pei Luoan's nose.
"That... what concubine... died?" Prince Qilie asked about another matter.
"He is really dead." Mr. Xiao said affirmatively. He had secretly investigated the matter.
"What a pity, otherwise it might have come in handy this time." Prince Qi Lie said, and then he felt annoyed again. How come the people or things that were originally agreed upon changed once he entered the capital? The capital of the Great Zhou was different from what he had imagined, and now because of Pei Yuanjun, there were many more inconveniences...
However, he must go to Ling Anbo's Mansion...
Prince Qi Lie came with Pei Yusheng.
After waiting outside for a long time, they saw the eunuch from the King of England's palace come out and lead them in with a smile.
Prince Qi Lie looked at Pei Yusheng's face calmly and saw that there was no anger on his face, which showed that it was not the first time that he had to wait for such a long time.
"Ji Hai, where is Uncle Wang now?" Pei Yusheng asked.
Ji Hai led the way and said, "It's in the study outside."
"Princess Ying has returned home, and Uncle Wang is still so dedicated to the public!" Pei Yusheng sighed.
"I don't know about this." Ji Hai laughed.
Pei Yusheng was not sad for him, "The Princess of England has now recognized her ancestry, and Uncle Wang has less trouble."
The Qu Mansion and the Qu Clan had quite a few troubles. Pei Yusheng felt aggrieved by the repeated incidents. These incidents... really made people speechless.
Fortunately, the British princess was in poor health, otherwise she would not have been allowed to pass so easily.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that the fate of the Princess of England was really good. She was lucky no matter how you looked at it. If she had been in good health at that time, Pei Yuanjun would have been angry with her.
Pei Yusheng never thought that Pei Yuanjun had a good temper.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, you are joking. Our prince never cares about such things." Ji Hai said with a smile. He was Pei Yuanjun's personal eunuch, who had followed him out of the palace and had served Pei Yuanjun since he was a child. His words must have been Pei Yuanjun's meaning.
"How is your princess' health now?" Pei Yusheng asked again.
"It's much better now." Ji Hai said vaguely.
"That's good. My princess was originally going to come over to visit the patient, but she felt a little unwell after returning from Qingyun Temple that day. Let her come over to visit Princess Ying after a while." Pei Yusheng said with a smile.
Prince Qi Lie's heart moved. He had been silent and just observing Prince Ying's Palace. The reason why he could ask Prince Jing for help this time was because both parties had the intention of getting married. Although this matter was still under discussion, both parties actually knew about it.
It would be more convenient to ask King Jing for help on some matters.
But Princess Jing? From what his sister said, Princess Jing was the most suspicious. Why did she go to Qingyun Temple for no reason? She even stayed there for a night. Was this woman really harmless
Before going to the capital, he had classified the Princess of Jing as one of the people who could be used, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. He was not aware of the jealousy of women, but he would not ignore his sister's words.
If this Princess Jing really couldn't be used, he wouldn't be polite and would at most leave her with a life, but as for the rest, there would be nothing else...
"Thank you King Jing and Princess Jing for your concern. In fact, our princess is really much better now. Please ask our princess to visit King Jing's mansion one day." Ji Hai said politely with a smile.
As they were talking, they had already reached the door of the study. Ji Hai stepped aside and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Second Prince, please!"
Pei Yusheng and Prince Qi Lie looked at each other, smiled slightly, and strode into the study.
In the study, Pei Yuanjun was not reading the documents on the table. He was leaning there lazily, with his eyes slightly closed, and seemed to be asleep.
Ji Hai came in, took two steps forward, walked to Pei Yuanjun's side, and called in a low voice: "Prince...Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Jing and the Second Prince of Northern Frontier are here."
Pei Yuanjun's eyes moved twice, and then he slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at the two people in front of him and snorted softly, as if he was half awake.
Prince Qi Lie had imagined Pei Yuanjun in many ways: murderous, brutal, gloomy and cruel, but he did not expect that Pei Yuanjun at this moment looked like he had not yet woken up.
There was a hint of laziness and casualness in his description, but even though he looked like he had just woken up, with his hand slightly raised, he showed the nobility and elegance of a son of an aristocratic family.
"This king is so tired waiting for you two to come."
Two people hurried forward to salute.
Pei Yuanjun waved his hand, motioning for them to sit aside, and the servants brought them tea.
After taking a sip, Pei Yusheng spoke first: "Uncle Wang, Prince Qi Lie came here specially to pay a visit to you."
"See me...what's the matter?" Pei Yuanjun asked lazily, picked up a grape from the fruit plate in front of him, threw it into his mouth, and asked casually.
"I wanted to come and see you before, but I heard that you have a lot of things to do, so I didn't dare to come." Prince Qi Lie said with a smile, "I'll give you a small gift to show my appreciation."
A guard following behind him came forward and presented the gift list.
Ji Hai came down to take it, and then brought it to Pei Yuanjun's desk.
"You are too polite, Second Prince..." Pei Yuanjun glanced at them calmly, "Many of these things look familiar. I also occasionally found them when I was at the border."
In a word, Prince Qi Lie's face turned red, not because of shame, but because of anger!
The items on this gift list were all carefully selected by him. They are all fine products from their Northern Frontier. It is impossible to have so many of them in other places, or they may not be available at all.
Pei Yuanjun had it a long time ago. How did he get it? He must have snatched it from the northern border a long time ago.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, King Ying. The northern border has always been a cold place, and it's hard to find good things there." Prince Qilie suppressed his anger and reacted very quickly, saying respectfully immediately.
"Uncle Wang, although the Northern Frontier cannot compare to the Central Plains, there are still some things that we in the Central Plains do not have. Your nephew is not as knowledgeable as you, and everything he sees seems to be good." Pei Yusheng hurriedly helped out with a word, which resolved the awkwardness between the two.
"The things are quite good, but I heard that the best things in Northern Xinjiang are not available here. Could it be that the Second Prince is reluctant to give them up?" Pei Yuanjun raised his handsome eyebrows and asked.
At this moment, even Pei Yusheng turned around to look at Prince Qilie, secretly blaming the Second Prince of Northern Frontier in his heart, telling him to just send in any good things he had. As long as Pei Yuanjun was satisfied, what else could not be accomplished
It was just a visit to the Ling'an Marquis's mansion to pay homage, which was not a big deal. Why did his uncle take it so seriously and even block Prince Qilie's itinerary
The second prince of the Northern Frontier was the same. He clearly said that he would get the King of England to give in no matter what, but he just didn't come up with his best offer.
The most embarrassing thing is that the gift you give is not the best and then people point it out.
Pei Yusheng felt ashamed and somewhat unhappy.
