The "guard" gave him a cold look, and Chu Ci shrank his neck and suddenly dared not speak.
The "guard" briefly recounted the news he had received, basically covering all the major and minor events in the imperial city of Qi Dynasty.
Including how Xiaocao has come to where he is today, including the fall of Prince Heng, the restoration of Prince Duan, etc.
"It seems that this Princess Anguo is really quite extraordinary." Chu Ci smacked his lips and touched his chin, "She is also very beautiful. Why don't we have such a capable and beautiful girl in Xichi?"
"In that case, marry her."
Chu Ci coughed and said, "Brother Emperor, it's a good thing that this person has ambitions, but if they are too ambitious, then it's wishful thinking and daydreaming. If I really say this, I might make the Emperor Qichao so angry that he might chop me off directly."
"Everything depends on human efforts." The "Guard" said calmly, as if it was not a big deal.
Others were silent. No matter if this guy was arrogant or just joking, it was absolutely impossible. Qi Chao was a rich and powerful country, and Xichi had always been wary of it and did not dare to challenge it easily. It was said that when Emperor Xuanren ascended the throne, Xichi wanted to form an alliance and ask to marry Princess Qi Chao, but was not agreed. Now Princess Anguo, with her superb medical skills, would have to be crazy to agree to marry her to another country. Xichi did not have the ability to force Qi Chao to agree.
Everything depends on human effort, but that also requires prerequisites. If there are no basic conditions at all, then, haha...
Chu Ci also knew what kind of personality his brother had. He was straightforward and didn't need to do anything, so he didn't say much about this matter. However, "Is this all the news? These should all be pretty straightforward. We should be able to figure it all out if we spend a few more days. Brother, do you have nothing else, or are you just not convenient to talk about it?"
The "guard" looked at him with hostility.
Chu Ci was startled again, but recovered in an instant, "Brother, did you not get more secret information? Brother, you can't do this. The spies you sent are too useless. Why are you still thinking about this? I know you are powerful, but you can't..."
"Shut up!" The "guard" picked up the cup and threw it at him.
Chu Ci quickly dodged, then shut his mouth obediently and said nothing.
The hostility in the "guard's" eyes became even stronger, and he was distracted for a moment, as if he thought of something, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.
From the spies that Wei Tingyu had caught before, it was known that other countries had indeed sent people to Qi Dynasty. However, due to that thorough investigation, many of them were removed through both crackdowns and elimination.
However, judging from the fact that someone sent Xichi a message today, not all of them have been eradicated. But we also know that these people cannot touch the key things, so they probably dare not act rashly.
Perhaps this is what the "guard" is angry about.
Xichi did not follow the rules, and Emperor Xuanren seemed to be really going to leave him alone. Not only was Xichi not summoned before the other members arrived at the Qichao Imperial City, they were not summoned even after they arrived. Although the entire Xichi delegation was resentful, they could do nothing about Emperor Xuanren.
However, the imperial court still opened the court as expected, and at the same time, it had issued an order to pay closer attention to the envoys from various countries and not to allow any more mistakes.
Emperor Xuanren refused to summon him, but the people of Xichi were not restricted. They could enter and leave the post station freely, the entire imperial city, and most places. However, Chu Ci was most interested in what Xiaocao was doing.
Unfortunately, they couldn't get in touch with people who knew the details of the matter. Although other people outside were talking about it, it was not an exaggeration to say that they knew nothing about the actual situation. Chu Ci wanted to get closer to Xiao Cao, but he couldn't help but go out. Xiao Cao was followed by at least four guards.
—The grass has been “working” since the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, and it doesn’t have much time to spend on irrelevant people.
Chu Ci once again met Xiao Cao, but this time it was really just a coincidence. They just nodded. Even if they said hello, they should have just passed each other and had nothing to do with each other. But a girl dressed as a maid who was originally following Chu Ci jumped out and pointed at Xiao Cao, "Why are you so rude? Or are you Qichao people so arrogant that you don't take us Xichi seriously at all?"
There was a lot of chatter, but I couldn't understand many words, but the meaning was very clear.
Xiaocao's guards remained silent and stood in front of Xiaocao with their swords half drawn. With just one command from Xiaocao, they would send the man who dared to be so rude in front of their princess to hell.
The woman was startled, but then she felt embarrassed and annoyed. She stiffened her neck and stared at Xiaocao, looking fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.
Chu Ci was the one who was frightened by this unexpected change and hurriedly pulled the person back, "Don't be rude! - Princess Anguo, I'm sorry, it's the king..."
"Brother, why are you apologizing to her? It's obviously her..."
"Shut up!" Chu Ci couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. He was so stupid.
Xiao Cao asked the people to leave, and glanced at the girl again. He roughly understood the words "royal brother", and then said to Chu Ci, "Since she is a princess of your country, you should tell her clearly. If nothing else, you should arrange a separate place for her to stay in the inn. Otherwise, what will happen if a princess lives with a bunch of grown men? If it gets out, it will be disrespectful to us in the Qi Dynasty."
Chu Ci was so embarrassed. Normally, the appearance of a princess in this delegation was no big deal. However, when it comes to willfulness, this imperial sister was the truly willful one. Because she was favored, she had her own princess mansion before she got married. As a result, she secretly ran away from the imperial capital and fell behind the delegation. The people in the imperial capital failed to find her in time until they were about to enter the territory of Qi Dynasty. She showed up and insisted on following them, even as a maid. This is why the situation today has happened.
Chu Ci apologized to Xiao Cao and asked her to forgive him.
Xiaocao didn't say much, but just sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to explain the matter and didn't ask any more questions.
