Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Walking up the long stairs is the Taiji Hall of Xia Kingdom. The Taiji Hall is like the Jinluan Hall of Ningguo. It is the place where courtiers go to court and receive foreign envoys. It has been more than three months in Xiaguo, and Yunshang is also the first. Stepping into this Tai Chi Hall for the first time.

The Taiji Hall is paved with marble, which is very bright. From the entrance of the hall to the position of the dragon chair, there is a road paved with jade, with lifelike dragons and phoenixes carved in the middle. On the top of the Tai Chi Hall is a large Tai Chi Eight Diagrams.

Yun Chang lowered her head and followed Wang Jinhuan on the jade stone. Naturally, the dragon could not be stepped on at will. When the dragon body was about to end, Wang Jinhuan knelt down, "Ningguo envoy Wang Jinhuan..."

"Xiao Yun." Yun Chang lowered her head and said in a deep voice. Luckily Liu Yinfeng was not there, otherwise she would have attracted his attention when she heard this name, but she couldn't think of any suitable alias for a while.

"Su Shang." "Wu Meng." "Zhao Wenrui."

"Meet Your Majesty." After everyone reported their names, the five people said in unison and saluted Xia Huanyu.

"Five envoys, please stand up." Xia Huanyu's voice came, with the aura of a king, but also lightly, without any emotion, "Give me a seat for the five hours."

The palace man moved the chair up, Yunshang and Wang Jinhuan sat down together, then raised his eyes to look at the courtiers who were separated on both sides, Yunshang glanced lightly, and they all saw a little uneasiness in their eyes.

It's right to be uneasy, Yun Chang thought in her heart.

"I don't know why the five envoys came this time?" Xia Huanyu's eyes swept over the five people sitting in the hall one by one, paused slightly on Wang Jinhuan, and then landed on Yun Chang, who lowered his eyes, Sitting in silence.

Only then did Wang Jinhuan open his mouth, "In a few days it will be the birthday of our Emperor Ningguo. Both the emperor and the imperial concubine Jin miss Princess Yunshang, so I specially asked Weichen to come to Xia Kingdom to visit Princess Yunshang. During the Emperor's Longevity Festival, Princess Yunshang would always present novel and interesting birthday gifts. However, when Weichen came from the border, he heard rumors along the way that something happened to Princess Yunshang, and I wanted to ask His Majesty. What is going on..."

Xia Huanyu frowned, and said after a while, "Princess Rui went to Hanyun Temple to pray a while ago, but she met a bandit on the way and unfortunately died."

Bandits. There was a flash of coldness in Yun Chang's eyes, but she would really make excuses for herself.

Wang Jinhuan also smiled coldly, "Really? A bandit? When he was in Ningguo, the emperor loved Princess Yunshang very much. He gave Princess Yunshang dozens of guards to protect him, and protected her around her. The safety of the princess. I don't know that the bandits in Xia Kingdom are so powerful that they are no match for the hidden guards. I don't know if your majesty can tell me that it is the bandits on that mountain. I would like to meet them Last time."

Xia Huanyu never imagined that this envoy of Ning State who looked very feminine turned out to be a master who didn't like oil and salt, and he refuted his words in front of all civil and military officials. Xia Huanyu narrowed his eyes, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and stroked the jade wrench on his thumb.

Yun Shang also discovered that when Xia Huanyu was in a bad mood, he was used to touching that jade finger. With a slight movement in my heart, I opened my mouth:

"Your Majesty Wang has always been outspoken, and I hope His Majesty will not take offense. It's just that something happened to Princess Huiguo in Xia Kingdom three months ago. If the Emperor found out, she would definitely be furious. The humble ministers really don't know how to explain to the Emperor. After all, Princess Huiguo is the emperor's favorite princess..."

Xia Huanyu heard the words and said coldly, "It's really a pity, but now Princess Huiguo is Princess Rui of Xia Kingdom. When something happened to her, the widows also feel very angry, but she is gone, no matter how the Emperor Ningguo blames her. But the widow can't change a Princess Rui either."

"Of course, I also know this truth, but Princess Yunshang's death is so inexplicable, His Majesty wants to send us away with a word of bandit. Weichen just wants to know what kind of powerful bandit it is. Even the hidden guards can't deal with it. If Xia's bandits are so powerful, why don't you worry about being able to rule the world." Wang Jinhuan has always been fearless, but he is used to being domineering in Ningguo. He is not afraid of Xia Huanyu. Can piss people off.

Yun Shang smiled in her heart, but Wang Jinhuan opened her mouth again, "Besides, I heard that the funeral of Prince Rui's mansion was held the day before yesterday, and someone came to make trouble on the way and overturned the coffin, the most amazing thing What's more, the coffin was empty. Excuse me, Your Majesty, Xia Kingdom is so chaotic, someone can disturb even a funeral? Also, since the princess is gone, I heard that the body was sent to Jincheng, and His Majesty also personally It has been checked, why are there only empty coffins left at the funeral? What about the corpse? It is already very sad that the princess died in a foreign land, and now there is no body left. Wei Chen has sent a letter back Ningguo is given to the emperor, how will His Majesty deal with this matter?"

A murderous intent flashed in Xia Huanyu's eyes, but he didn't speak.

"Presumptuous." Su Qi stood up, looked at Wang Jin and rebuked angrily.

Wang Jinhuan laughed when he heard the words, "This is? Su Taiwei, right?" After a pause, he continued, "You say I'm presumptuous, so I'll be presumptuous. But, if you can't give a surprising Satisfactory confession, our Ningguo is more presumptuous, and we are yet to come."

"You..." Su Qi was about to speak, when Wang Jinhuan interrupted him again, "By the way, I heard that Prince Jing didn't know what happened to the princess. When he was in Ningguo, everyone loved him so much. Knowing things, if Prince Jing gets angry, I'm afraid he will be a little presumptuous."

"It is a great honor for our country that Mr. Wang is on a mission to our country. We deeply regret the matter of Princess Rui. We will also try our best to find the murderer and find the body of Princess Rui. Please stay safe, Mr. Wang. Posthouse It's already packed, Lord Wang might as well take a rest in the post house, if there is any news, we will definitely inform the adults as soon as possible." The seventh prince came out, and cupped his hands towards Wang Jinhuan, speaking very modestly and politely .

Just as Wang Jinhuan was about to speak, he heard a faint sound coming from outside, "Report—"

Yun Chang's ears moved slightly, it should be that there is an urgent military report on the front line, and only an emergency military report can be reported to the emperor directly above the hall with the command arrow.

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, now that Xia Guo and Ning Guo have formed an alliance, even if her father would send troops because of her affairs, it would not be so fast. And the battle that Xia Guo is fighting now is a battle with the Ya clan. Could it be that there is some news from the Ya clan?

Xia Huanyu frowned, glanced at the five people sitting there, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Broadcast."

One after another, "Military orders to meet..." rang from near to far, and a soldier in armor walked into the gate of the main hall, knelt down on the ground with a command arrow in his hand, "All blessings, Your Majesty..." After saying that, he held the command arrow with both hands. He raised it above his head, "There is an urgent report from the military ahead, Prince Rui knew about the princess in the army, he has already left the barracks without authorization in disregard of the military order."

Yun Chang was slightly taken aback, I had clearly written a letter to tell him the matter, why did he still do this?

Immediately, a sour feeling welled up in her heart. When she was in distress before, she kept thinking how great it would be if Luo Qingyan was by her side. But because she knew it was unrealizable, she had to force herself to suppress that thought, and force herself to be strong and bear it. It is precisely because of this that she suddenly discovered that in many cases, she is not as strong as she imagined. Every time she encounters something, she always subconsciously wants to rely on Luo Qingyan.

"Nonsense!" Xia Huanyu's roar suddenly woke Yunshang out of her thoughts. Yunshang raised her head subconsciously, and saw the blue veins on Xia Huanyu's forehead, and the long scar on her face looked a bit strange. ferocious.

"Stop him, don't let him go back to Jincheng, pass on the will of the widow, let him go back to the Ya clan." Xia Huanyu's voice was obviously angry.

However, Wang Jinhuan laughed out of place, "I just reminded His Majesty that the prince and the concubine are deeply in love. If the prince knows that the concubine died, he will be furious. Your majesty thinks that everyone is so lucky." , Don’t you even care about the life and death of your own wife?” After speaking, he stood up and said, “The humble ministers will take their leave first, all blessings, Your Majesty.”

Yun Chang also stood up and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall. Hearing that there are ninety-nine steps in front of the Taiji Hall, Yunshang followed Wang Jinhuan, and heard Wang Jinhuan whisper, "I just said that Luo Qingyan can't help that old fox Xia Huanyu with peace of mind, wait for him When I come back, I’m afraid that this Jincheng will be turned upside down again, haha, I can’t wait.”

Yunshang felt a few black lines appearing on his forehead, and looked at Wang Jinhuan who was so happy, Yunshang couldn't bear to speak against his confidence, "I feel that you may not be able to see that day. You just said that Xia Huanyu has offended Su Qi one by one, and I don't know if you will have a chance to see the sun tomorrow."

Wang Jinhuan turned his eyes and squinted at Yunshang, "Do you know what I am best at?"

Yun Shang was taken aback when she heard the words, and shook her head, "The thing I am best at is lightness kung fu, the ability to escape, absolutely no one can match it. Who makes Xia Huanyu ugly and old, but dare to touch my shallow As for Qian, it’s fine if I don’t draw my sword to face each other.”

After Wang Jinhuan finished speaking, he suddenly restrained his unrestrained expression and became serious, "I just smelled a strange fragrance on the Seventh Prince's body, like incense, but ordinary people basically only use One, but on his body I can smell the fragrance of styrax, galangal, magnolia and grass, and even a faint smell of pepper.”\u003c
