"If nothing unexpected happens, I can ask the Emperor of the Great Zhou to send Concubine Dong to the cold palace." Knowing that he could take action against Su Jinxiu, Qu Jingze felt more confident.
"This result, happens to be what I want." Ah Man spoke slowly, without any impatience, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Master Qu, please go back and rest first. Get enough energy and go to the palace at dawn."
"Princess, you should also have a good rest. I will definitely seek justice for you tomorrow." Qu Jingze strode away after saying this. Ah Man looked at his back, feeling panic in her heart, but when she thought that the man in the palace at this moment must also be busy with tomorrow's morning court, her heart inexplicably calmed down.
When one feels at ease, one tends to feel sleepy easily. Ah Man has never been one to put herself in a difficult position. She would go to bed as soon as possible after being helped to take a bath. Tomorrow, she is still looking forward to seeing a good show.
Ah Man really underestimated her own fatigue. When she woke up the next day, Qu Jingze had already gone to the palace with several deputy envoys.
It was already past noon, and Murong Zheng would probably issue an order to summon them to the palace to appease the emperor in the morning. Qu Jingze was not worried, but...
"Has Murong Kai delivered the gifts?" Ah Man was more concerned about the evidence. Only with the evidence in hand could Qu Jingze be invincible.
"The Third Prince sent someone to look for Lord Qu early in the morning. After talking for a while, the person left."
“Did that person say anything about the third prince’s leg…?” After feeling relieved, Ah Man suddenly became worried. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that the people sent by Murong Kai came and went in a hurry, and they would probably not tell them about Murong Kai’s situation.
"Master Qu told me before he left that the royal doctor had examined the legs of the third prince. He was told not to move for a hundred days, otherwise..."
"Yeah." Ah Man had expected this result, but when someone said it like this, she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart. If she hadn't sent that letter yesterday, he might have gotten better soon...
Of course, this is just an assumption. If she hadn't sent that letter, I would probably have met the King of Hell by now.
"I'll ask Lord Qu to send some supplements or something over later as a token of my gratitude for saving my life."
"Master Qu had someone escort it before he left."
"That's good, that's good." Ah Man said softly, but her heart had already drifted into the palace of the Great Zhou.
At this moment, the place that Ah Man was thinking about in his heart was cold.
Qu Jingze, the envoy from Bei'an, knelt in the court, tears in his eyes and holding a jade hairpin high in his hands.
None of the court officials dared to speak, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. The king, sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Qu Jingze with an inexplicable mind and cold eyes.
"Whether it's the foreign ministers or our Princess Bei'an Jiaoyang and Princess Jinxiu, we have never overstepped the boundaries in the Great Zhou. I don't know why we have aroused such jealousy from the Great Zhou that we have to punish them immediately."
"Lord Qu, you are too kind. Bei'an and our Great Zhou have been friends for generations. The rulers and ministers of our Great Zhou treat your envoys as honored guests and would never harm the lives of Princess Bei'an and you. Lord Qu may have misunderstood."
Finally, a minister stood up and tried to persuade him gently.
This concerns the peace between the two countries. We cannot let friendly countries become enemies just because of a fire.
"Misunderstanding? Can this jade hairpin be misunderstood? Or can the people of the Great Zhou use this Phoenix Jade Hairpin at will?"
The phoenix has always been used exclusively by women of the royal family. It is high and mighty, looking down upon the common people. How could an ordinary person dare to use one
"Although I am an outsider, I also know that this is the birthday gift that the emperor gave to Concubine Dong in the tenth year of Chenguang." Qu Jingze looked at Murong Zheng, who remained calm, and shouted.
"At that time, the emperor ordered that the pattern of the jade hairpin be spread throughout the world, and no one was allowed to imitate it, not even the Empress."
Because of this imperial edict, there was endless dispute in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the ministers were alienated. Even though Murong Zheng was forced to withdraw the imperial edict due to the situation, the court still argued endlessly about the matter. In the end, it was the Queen who came forward to mediate and the ministers stopped impeaching the Emperor for his immoral behavior.
This is the most embarrassing black history of Murong Zheng since he took power in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, it has been shouted out loudly by Qu Jingze.
Murong Zheng's expression changed, and the court officials also realized that this time, Bei'an would not let it go.
