Chapter 232: The Dragon Figure Country Case (17)
Prime Minister Yan Jing hurriedly came out to report: "Return to the emperor, a murder case did occur in the State Guesthouse last night, which disturbed the envoys and their entourage. The matter is very important and Jingzhou Prefecture is conducting thorough investigation."
The old emperor was very unhappy: "Who is the dead?"
"The identity of the deceased has not been verified yet. I have ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue to intervene and will surely find out the truth as soon as possible!" Yan Jing replied.
The old emperor slapped the table with a palm, "It's so bold! The foreign envoy just checked into the State Guesthouse and had such an unlucky thing that would damage our prestige!"
All officials immediately apologized for guilt, "I am ashamed! I am deserved to die!"
The old emperor held the wine bottle, "I am deeply sorry for the envoy, I wish you a glass!"
"The emperor's words are so serious, accidents are uncontrollable, it's okay." Meng Jian raised his glass to respond, but he was generous and had no complaints.
After the two of them drank it all in one go, the old emperor stood up from the dragon throne, walked to Meng Yu, and helped her personally, which was particularly gentle and kind, "I value filial piety the most in my life, and I should do it for my daughter to be filial!"
Meng Yu smiled, shy and timid, "Thank you, the Emperor!"???????????????????????????????????????????????????
The old emperor couldn't help but feel his heart rippled and his face flushed. "How about the helper's daughter can't leave her father, or would she move into the palace with her envoys?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Jian quickly responded: "What the Emperor said is very..."
Meng Yu said, "Emperor, the life and death of those who practice Buddhism are empty. Meng Yu is not afraid or taboo. The scenery of the State Guesthouse is still beautiful, Meng Yu likes it and wants to stay for a few more days."
The old emperor praised it very much, "Okay, I am worthy of being a maid, my courage and courage are not ordinary women! I promise you to continue living in the State Guesthouse!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Meng Yu was happy. The moment when his eyelids drooped, the afterglow reflected into his father Meng Jian's face. There was a flash of anger in his eyes, but it disappeared in a moment and returned to normal.
The fourth prince Zhou observed Meng Yu calmly, with a deep thought.
Li Yanzhou, who was in the middle seat, was not concerned about all this and was busy enjoying the delicacies of mountains and seas, which made the prince next to him feel disgusted. He poked Li Yanzhou's back and whispered: "The beauty is so beautiful, how can you eat it? I went home last night, and the marquis beat you up?"
"Well, I didn't beat you up, but I won't give you food, so I'm so hungry." Li Yanzhou said vaguely, chewing meatballs in his mouth.
Zhou Jie laughed, "The Marquis actually made you hungry? Haha, what a cold-blooded Marquis!"
"Shh!" Li Yanzhou made a silence and signaled Zhou Jie, "Be careful of the emperor's anger."
Zhou Jie curled his lips, "The father cares about beauty, how can he care about me?"
Li Yanzhou looked solemn, "The beauty the emperor exchanged for national treasures must naturally cherish."
"National Treasure..." Zhou Jie's eyes gradually became gloomy, his tone was contemptuous and full of regret, "It's really a waste to throw good things into the cow dung pile!"
Li Yanzhou slapped the chopsticks in his hand slightly, but he just smiled and continued to eat.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed. Li Yanzhou wanted to chat with Zhou Yun for a few words, but saw that Zhou Yun seemed to have something urgent and left in a hurry.
Since last night, his restless mind has always been lingering, and even if the national mourning is successfully completed, he still cannot relax.
But thinking that the three-day period was only one day left, and the Dragon Star Map was about to part with him soon, he quickly strided, "Shi Feng, the second master left the palace to do business, you can go home by yourself!"
