The empress called her sister, and the goddess was willing to enter the mortal world
Chapter 28 Some are happy and some are sad
All the officials were helpless about their own incompetence. Their country had sent the crown prince away to show its sincerity. Their Majesty was diligent in his work and loved the people, and this should not be the outcome.
Everyone hopes that the prince can return safely, even if the news he brings back is not good news.
Nanyue Royal Palace
After Si Rang came back, he informed the empress of the situation, which angered all the officials. It was really arrogant that a veteran of three dynasties died in his country.
One minister suggested: "Your Majesty, they have gained all the benefits, and they also caused our minister to be unjustly killed in another country. This hatred must be avenged."
The empress on the throne said calmly, "How do you want to report to me, my dear minister?"
"They are so arrogant and do not take our country seriously. Of course we have to send troops to attack them."
Nan Wanxing's eyes lingered on his face: "My dear, there is no need to be so anxious. There will be good news in a few days. Elder Li will not die in vain."
The empress was not at all angry when the veterans of three dynasties were killed. Her expression remained calm from beginning to end, as if she had noticed something long ago. The shrewd ministers smelled something.
The Prime Minister once reminded that the court should not keep useless people. The elder has his current position because of his family background. He has no achievements in his own field. His death will not be...
Some ministers were sweating with fear, and some with poor psychological endurance were shaking uncontrollably. This bowl of rice didn't taste good.
Nan Wanxing looked at the ministers with scrutiny: "Are you cold or hot? Why are you so impolite?"
She pointed at a minister and asked, "Why are you shaking?"
The person who was pointed at trembled and fell to the ground. He stammered for a long time without being able to utter two words clearly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The familiar cold light flashed again, and the trembling minister suffered the same fate as the elder.
"He was impolite in front of the emperor. How can such a person be worthy of being an official?" Si Rang said coldly, looking at everyone.
Your Majesty just killed a minister so casually and he doesn't care?
Nan Wanxing calmly took out the jade flute and began to play it.
The past of the killed official was fully revealed. He had been in office for seven years without any achievements. He got his current position by flattering others. He did not do anything evil, but not doing his job while in office is the greatest evil.
The sound of the flute stopped and the ministers returned to their senses. They almost forgot that His Majesty still had the jade flute given by the goddess!
With this magical object, who would dare to do bad things under the emperor's eyes?
But they couldn't figure out whether all this was a coincidence or deliberate.
Nan Wanxing glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "If you are useless, don't take up the position. What do you think?"
It's a double entendre. If you still don't understand it at this point, then you really don't need to live.
"Your Majesty is right. We will keep it in mind."
The ministers said in unison.
Those who have truly made contributions to the court are not afraid of today's actions. The empress still left a chance for those who are still hoping for the best.
As expected, in the past few days, many ministers have submitted petitions to retire and return to their hometowns, which is very tactful.
Looking at the vacant positions, Nan Wanxing felt that it was time to put those selected talents on the agenda for a meeting.
When the prince arrived in Nanyue, he felt the temperature difference and found the climate to be indeed pleasant.
Before the meeting, he straightened his robe. He represented the Beijing Kingdom and there could not be anything wrong.
Holding the letter of credence, he entered the court of Nanyue with a few close friends.
"The Crown Prince of Beijing enters the palace."
As the eunuch spread the news, the ministers looked at the prince of a foreign country, what a gentle man as jade.
"Prince Bei Jing, Bei Heng, greets the Empress. This is a letter from our country. Father expresses deep sorrow over the death of the elder, and offers three cities as an apology. I hope the Empress will accept it and not damage the friendship between our two countries."
Eunuch Wang presented the letter to His Majesty. Seeing that the other party did not move, he tactfully put the letter in his hand.
"Emperor Bei Jing is thoughtful. I accept the gift of apology. The Crown Prince must be tired after traveling for many days, so I will not keep you here." Although the voice sounded gentle, no one thought that the empress was really gentle.
Wow, she let people go as soon as they arrived. She is worthy of being our empress, so domineering.
Bei Heng was not ready to leave: "Empress, we have brought the elder's body back. The ice was freezing all the way, so his body was not affected much."
Nan Wanxing raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you done?"
Bei Heng looked at the empress who refused to accept the challenge, and he had no choice but to say shamelessly: "This palace has just arrived in Nanyue, and I really like the local customs and people here. The empress's national policy has benefited me a lot, so..."
"I would like to stay in South Vietnam for a while. I hope the Empress will agree."
Nan Wanxing raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth: "Are you looking at the local customs or Ziyou?"
Ziyou? Bei Heng asked with a hint of doubt.
"Who is Ziyou?"
Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck Bei Heng from the entrance of the hall at a speed visible to the naked eye. No one thought that he could still survive.
But he survived, and a glowing arrow destroyed the lightning.
The speed was so fast that people couldn't see the details clearly.
This thrilling scene is rare.
It was the first time that the ministers saw His Majesty use the Star Bow, and its power was so terrifying.
Nan Wanxing smiled softly: "The prince now owes me a life, how do I settle this account?"
Bei Heng looked at the empress. Holding the star bow shining with starlight in her hand, she felt like a god.
But, he is a killer.
The ministers were stunned by this scene. This divine bow could destroy lightning. So, could it be...
What a terrifying power! Fortunately, it is in the hands of their Majesty.
He knew that he had been set up by the other party again: "I was wrong. If there is such a strange phenomenon, it should be the name of the goddess."
It seems that the goddess values the empress very much. Only she can call her by her name. Why? Why does she value her so much? He was puzzled.
"Thank you very much, Empress, for saving my life. I don't know what you want, but I will do whatever I can."
Nan Wanxing pretended to think for a moment and said, "Since their son was rescued by someone, their parents should come to thank them in person."
Your Majesty is so brave! The ministers secretly gave him a thumbs up. Are you going to wipe out the monarch and queen of another country in one fell swoop?
Or someone delivered it to my door! This feeling...
So comfortable!
Bei Heng stood there quietly for a long while before he managed to utter a word: "I will send a letter back to Bei Jing. As for what choice my father and mother will make, I cannot guarantee it."
Nan Wanxing put the bow back to its original place, turned his back to him and said, "Then Prince, just write it here to save time."
At a glance from Eunuch Wang, someone brought him paper and pen.
Bei Heng, who originally wanted to commit suicide to save his parents, gave up the last thought and was forced to finish writing the letter.
"During this period, Your Highness, please stay in our post house and experience the customs and culture of South Vietnam."
The irresistible tone completely cut off his thoughts.
