Chapter 496 Empress of Shuiding Kingdom

Chapter 496

Zhou Chengyu knew that this was Chu Haojue's arrangement, so he cooperated and said, "Sir, I have never hurt anyone, and I don't know whether what this brother said is true or not. I beg you to give us justice. We will never set foot outside this post station again until the matter is thoroughly investigated."

When Qingfeng heard this, he shouted unhappily, "Don't try to deny it! My brother was seriously injured, you must take responsibility!"

The official from the Ministry of Rites frowned upon seeing this and said, "In that case, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. In the meantime, I hope you will not leave the post station."

Zhou Chengyu nodded with feigned resignation: "Then I'll trouble you, sir. We will fully cooperate with you on this matter."

The envoy was so anxious that he turned around and whispered to Zhou Chengyu, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Zhou Chengyu secretly winked at him, signaling him to keep quiet.

Qingfeng saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped making trouble and snorted coldly, "I hope you can seek justice for my brother as soon as possible!"

After Qingfeng finished speaking, he left with a group of people.

The official from the Ministry of Rites said to Zhou Chengyu with some headache, "I hope the envoy will stay at the post station during this period and not wander around casually."

Zhou Chengyu bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir, we will comply."

After the officials left, Zhou Chengyu knew that it would depend on how Chu Haojue dealt with the conspiracies of other countries.

Chu Haojue did this probably because he wanted to remove them.

Long Yi heard that Xijing State was confined to the post station by Chu Yuan State because it caused trouble there.

"Master, do you think that the people of Xijing Kingdom will really stay in that post station obediently?" The servant also felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.

"That's hard to say. However, without Xijing Kingdom taking a share, we can still get more. If we take over Xijing Kingdom, the next one will be Xijing Kingdom." Long Yi said indifferently.

"Master, you are right. It is the Xijing Kingdom that is ungrateful." said the servant.

"Has there been any news from Shuiding Kingdom recently?" Long Yi thought of the empress of Shuiding Kingdom again, and felt a little itchy in his heart.

The servant quickly replied, "Master, there's been no news from Shuiding Kingdom yet. But the Empress of Shuiding Kingdom is known for her scheming. I wonder what her plans are for attending this grand event."

Long Yi raised the corner of his mouth, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "It doesn't matter, your master likes people with a lot of thoughts."

The news from Xijing Kingdom also reached Shui Hanyue's ears.

"Oh? Did he really hit someone?" Shui Hanyue asked the maid beside her with affection in her eyes.

"Master, we didn't notice that the guard hit anyone. However, since that person dared to come to our house and make trouble, it must be true." The maid beside her said quickly.

"That's not necessarily true. The mother of the Emperor of Xijing seems to be the sister of the Emperor of Chuyuan, right?" Shui Hanyue put down the cup in her hand and said with her red lips slightly.

"Yes, the Queen Mother of Xijing Kingdom is the former Princess Wenchang of Chuyuan Kingdom. Master, do you have any doubts?" the maid asked in surprise.

"What do you think about the proposal of Guanglin Kingdom?" Shui Hanyue looked at the maid and asked.

"I dare not say." The maid said with some embarrassment.

In fact, the maid felt that Guanglin Guo's behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

"Go ahead, no matter what you say, I will forgive you." Shui Hanyue glanced at the maid and said.

This maid is actually Shui Hanyue's confidante, and her insights are no less than those of ordinary ministers.

"Master, I think that Guanglin Country just wants to use us all to test the waters in Chuyuan Country." The maid named Taozi said with some dissatisfaction at this time.

Just because of the Guanglin Kingdom, her master traveled thousands of miles to the Chuyuan Kingdom to suffer this punishment.

"Oh? Go on." Shui Hanyue picked up the dessert sent by the sweet shop nearby, tasted it, and asked.

"I think there is a reason why the Chuyuan Kingdom launched the attack so quickly. At the very least, they must have strength. Didn't the Nanyue Kingdom and the Xijing Kingdom already experience that before? Why didn't they continue to fight? They must be afraid of that thing." Taozi said again.

"Well, that's right, that makes sense. At least the desserts from Chu Yuan Kingdom are more delicious than those from our Shui Ding Kingdom. Go on." Shui Hanyue took another bite of the dessert with satisfaction.

"I feel that the Chu Yuan Kingdom may have some abilities that we don't know about. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one." Taozi said again.

"Well, you're right. I think the Chu Yuan Kingdom is quite capable. We can't easily stand on the wrong side." Shui Hanyue nodded with satisfaction at Taozi's words.

"Then, master, you don't want to be an enemy of Chu Yuanguo anymore?" Taozi asked quickly.

"I didn't say that." Shui Hanyue said with a smile.

"As for us, we should just hold back for now. We don't need to rush to take sides." Shui Hanyue's eyes flashed with shrewd calculation, and then she added, "Guanglin Country just wants to get us to test the waters. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it loses, everyone will suffer together. We can't be stupid enough to be the scapegoat." Shui Hanyue tasted the milk tea sent by the Sweetheart Shop with satisfaction.

Taozi nodded and continued, "Master, the Xijing Kingdom is under house arrest. Is Chuyuan Kingdom also trying to show its power to other countries and make an example of them?"

"It's hard to say. This little thing tastes good. Go ask the servant at the post station where he bought it, and then buy some for me." Shui Hanyue said to Taozi beside her.

Chu Haojue and his men quickly found those people lurking in the suburbs.

"Your Highness, there are almost 50,000 of these people." Qingfeng looked at those people with a frown. He was a little puzzled. With so many people gathered in the capital, why didn't the various forces notice it?

"Are there people from all countries?" Chu Haojue asked with a heavy heart.

"Your Highness, most of these people are from Guanglin, Gao'an and Yuxi. Shuiding didn't send anyone, but Xijing and Nanyue sent a few idiots." Qingfeng's mouth twitched when he thought of this.

"Why didn't Shui Dingguo send anyone?" Chu Haojue was still very surprised that Shui Dingguo didn't send anyone.

"Most of the people in Shuiding Country are women, and they don't want to stay with these people." Qingfeng was very puzzled when he thought of this reason.

"Do the other countries have any objection to this reason?" Although Chu Haojue felt that this reason was reasonable, he also felt that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, are we going to wipe out their nests now?" Qingfeng asked excitedly.

"Let's think of a way to see if we can capture a few people and see if we can get some useful information out of them." Chu Haojue said while looking at a place not far away.
