The day before, the envoys of Beili Kingdom had sent a invitation to visit the Crown Prince of Nanyue Kingdom in a private capacity.
This kind of behavior often happens in exchanges between countries. After all, as the next monarch, it is necessary for the prince to communicate with the envoys of various countries in advance.
At the same time, sons and servants can not only have a personal relationship with the prince, but also communicate with other princes. The reason is self-evident, and these are also unwritten regulations of various countries.
It's not yet the appointed time, and the prince is handling official business in the study.
Kuang Yingzhe entered, "I have seen Your Highness."
The Prince continued to write, "What's the matter?"
Kuang Yingzhe said, "King Li and Princess Qianxue entered the palace just now, stayed in Yongxian Palace for more than half an hour, and are now leaving the palace."
The prince thought of Gu Qianxue whose temperament had changed drastically, and felt very disgusted, "Can you find out what they said?"
"No, the door was closed when they were talking, but I heard that after the conversation, Concubine Qin felt depressed and went back to her room to rest."
The prince stopped writing, squinted his delicate eyebrows, his eyes half hidden between his eyelashes were gleaming with misery, "Why is Concubine Qin depressed? Could it be that King Li made a decision to make her unhappy? King Li is really weird, and I don't know why. Being so fascinated by Gu Qianxue, knowing that Gu Qianxue's affair with Su Lingxiao is still acceptable, knowing that Gu Qianxue is vacillating between him and the crown princess, and still chasing after him, oh, stupid."
Speaking of this, the prince thought of Gu Qianxue, and the experience and relationship between the two of them, but a faint unhappiness flashed in his heart.
He frowned even deeper, "A person...how can he change at will, and become another person who doesn't look alike?"
As a confidant, Kuang Yingzhe understood the prince's thoughts to some extent. It can be said that the prince was also infatuated with Gu Qianxue before, but since he discovered that his temperament had changed drastically, he gave up.
Although I give up now, it is also a lie to say that I have not thought about it at all.
At this moment, a eunuch came forward outside the door, "His Royal Highness, the envoy of Beili Kingdom, Tang Xuansie Tang, please see me."
The two agreed to meet before noon and have lunch together by the way.
The prince stood up, "Bring Tang Xuansie into the main hall, and the palace will be there soon." Bypassing the table, the prince whispered to Kuang Yingzhe, "This palace is inexplicably uneasy, you send someone to Yongxian Palace, and try to find out more about it." Just now, I want to know what they are discussing."
"Yes, Your Highness." Kuang Yingzhe said.
The prince strode out of the study and went to the main hall.
In the main hall.
Tang Xuan, the envoy of Beili Kingdom, saw the prince coming, and stood up to greet him, "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince."
The prince smiled and said, "Your Majesty Tang is exempt from courtesy. Now that you and I are meeting in private, let's put aside our identities and just be friends."
Tang Xuan said a few more polite words, and the two invited each other to their seats.
There was a court lady who brought tea, but was sent out by the eunuch, and there were only the prince and Tang Xuansie in the main hall.
The prince took the lead and said, "After all, this is the second time you and I have met. The last time was on Father's birthday."
Tang Xuan responded, "Yes."
"Nanyue Kingdom and Beili Kingdom can formally make friends, thanks to Mr. Tang, this relationship, I will remember." The prince said.
"Where, where, His Highness the Crown Prince is really humble. In fact, the lower officials have done far less than His Highness the Crown Prince." Tang Xuan said meanly.
The prince smiled and said, "It's all for the people of the two countries."
Tang Xuan's stingy voice suddenly paused, the polite smile on his face disappeared, and his complexion darkened, "His Royal Highness is busy with business, and I don't want to delay too long. In fact, I was entrusted by the monarch and wanted to discuss a cooperation with His Highness. "
"Oh? What kind of cooperation, let me hear it?" The prince was secretly startled, but he didn't show it.
Tang Xuan said miserably, "The monarch wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help."
"Master Tang, please tell me." The smile on the prince's face disappeared completely. This action really confirmed his premonition that the sudden establishment of diplomatic relations between Beili Kingdom is definitely not that simple, and there must be a story behind it.
Tang Xuan glanced at the door mischievously, the prince immediately understood, got up and said, "If Mr. Tang doesn't mind, why don't you sit in my study?"
Tang Xuan stood up immediately, "I'm so happy."
So, the two left the main hall and went to the prince's study.
The court lady brought the tea again, and unlike the main hall, the prince's study room was hidden.
The prince closed the door himself, and the two sat on chairs, talking in low voices across a table.
"I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Tang is talking about?" the prince asked.
Tang Xuan said with a serious expression, "The monarch wants to be alone."
The prince frowned, "Who is it?" The person whom the king of Beili Kingdom wanted must be a difficult person.
"Gu Qianxue."
The prince was taken aback, "Gu Qianxue? How does your monarch know about Gu Qianxue? What is the purpose?"
Tang Xuan did not answer the prince's series of questions, but said, "In return, the monarch is willing to send tens of thousands of taels of silver, as well as a batch of weapons that can cut iron like clay."
weapon!
The crown prince frowned, "Your Majesty Tang is joking, what does the Palace want those weapons for?"
Tang Xuan said mischievously, "Your Highness, please don't think too much, our monarch has no other intentions, but weapons are what all forces need. These weapons are definitely superior to the famous sword villa. As long as the strong soldiers use them, I dare not say One against a hundred, but one against five is definitely more than enough. These weapons were originally equipped by our Imperial Forest Army of Beili Kingdom, and they were never leaked out, but to show our sincerity, we took them out."
It has to be said that the prince was moved.
"Master Tang doesn't want me to ask why your lord wants Gu Qianxue, right?" The crown prince was in a dilemma, but he didn't deliberately pretend, "To be honest, although Gu Qianxue is only a woman, she has a very high status in Nanyue Kingdom." It's special, let's not say that her father is an official of the imperial court, but only that her grandfather holds military power. In addition, she is the princess bestowed by the emperor and the former Princess Li. If she disappears out of thin air, it will definitely cause an uproar! What's more, she and Li The king is always inseparable, it is really difficult to make a move."
Having said that, there is still a cloud of fog in the prince's heart.
Tang Xuan said miserably, "weapons, add 10,000 more." As he spoke, he took out a blueprint from his sleeve, "Please look at it, Your Highness."
The prince received the paper, but saw that it looked like a weapon.
There are five kinds of weapons in total, and the shapes are different according to the purpose.
Let's not talk about the materials used and the workmanship, just talk about the design, the power must be huge.
The prince is a martial artist, so he can't make a mistake.
The crown prince was very moved, not to mention holding these weapons in his hands now, even if he ascended the throne in the future, they would be useful. Beili Kingdom...is indeed full of treasures.
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Although Gu Qianxue's identity is complicated, and although he is inseparable from King Li, who is the prince? If he wants to make a move, he still has a 70 to 80% chance of winning.
However, compared to this, the crown prince wants to know more about how the mysterious monarch of Beili Kingdom has something to do with Gu Qianxue. Gu Qianxue is clearly not a woman but a mystery, and the crown prince is the first person in this life who can't figure it out. , it was Gu Qianxue.
