C38 (2/2)

Hearing the decree, the eunuch immediately raised his voice and shouted, ”Xuan, the emissaries of the RuiXi Country are here to see you.”

Mu Rong Qi, who was listening outside, led Murong Tan into the court. However, Mu Rong Qi had covered it up quite well, and the disdain in Murong Tan's eyes was too obvious. The officials watching from the front frowned.

Murong Qi glared at Murong Tan and warned her to restrain herself before bowing slightly, ”Greetings to the Emperor of Ming Xuan.”

Only then did Murong Tan follow and give a slight bow.

Xiao Wen Feng acted as if he didn't see their perfunctory attitude and said, ”You two have come from afar and have a tiring journey. I don't know if you should rest properly?”

He sounded concerned about the two of them, but in fact, he was mocking them for not being able to tell the time of the visit through the paperwork. Not mentioning that they had suddenly come to visit, he had even delayed meeting them for an entire day.

Murong Qi remained unmoved. ”My royal sister and I were just passing by to enjoy the river, so we came to visit once or twice. Therefore, we didn't have any official documents. I presume that since Your Majesty is magnanimous, he wouldn't blame us for being young.”

Appreciate the scenery along the river? By the way?

The court officials at the side were all infuriated. The distance from the imperial city to Liang Jing was thousands of miles. It would take at least ten days to travel by the river. Two of the imperial family were full, yet they came all the way here to play?

What's more, Murong Qi was 23 years old this year, and Murong Tan was also 16 or 17 years old. Fine, this was very domineering. It was enough to look down on their Ming-Xuan Kingdom.

No matter what the court officials were thinking, Murong Qi continued, ”Your Majesty, when my royal sister and I arrived at Liang Jing, we discovered that many ships were besieging the ship. May I ask what is the purpose of this?”

Was he here to denounce him?

Everyone was well aware of what had happened in Linchuan. It was clear that Rache had intentionally crashed into the ship and rampaged through it. Yet, he had preemptively claimed that it was Mingxuan's ships that had surrounded and attacked them, pretending to be the victims.

The corner of Xiao Wen Feng's mouth twitched. He then stepped forward and said, ”This subject has his own plans!”

”Yes!”

”Yes, Your Majesty. As for the matter of the boat attacking Prince Rui's princess in Linchuan, this subject has his own song to play. After this matter has occurred, this subject will pay great attention to it and immediately send people to investigate all the ships and people on Linchuan.”

”We've tried our best to capture and bring to justice those who are unfavorable to Prince Rui's princess as soon as possible, but we've discovered that no one is suspicious. They're all honest businessmen!”

Cui Yue didn't even look at Murong Qi and Murong Tan's expressions as he spat out the words like a cannonball, ”But this subject is a serious and cautious person, especially towards Rui Xi Country's ambassador.”

”Therefore, this subject sent people to check on the boats in Richie during the night. They discovered that there was a big hole in the boat, which caused the ship's homing function to be damaged, causing the boats to rampage in Linchuan, causing the princes and princesses who were eager to get ashore to see the illusion that the other boats were trying to encircle them.”

”Your Majesty, this was an accident. I presume that the princes and princesses would really like to meet with your majesty to express their friendly feelings towards my Great Clarity Pavilion.”

”Arguing is not the way!” Murong Tan hastily denied it.

The Prime Minister Pei Zhihe continued to speak unhurriedly, ”Oh, the prince and princess aren't friendly with me, could it be that they have some sort of enmity with me?”

Before he finished speaking, the few martial artists in the center had already exposed their location, and were glaring at Murong Qi and Murong Tan.

Murong Qi quickly grabbed Murong Tan's sleeve, telling her to be a little more calm. Just as he was about to speak, Cui Fu choked and said, ”Prince, Princess, could it be that you two made a hole on the boat and purposely rampaged around?”

”This is bad, those injured aristocratic children and merchants who have caused losses have already reported their losses to this official. This official also said that the ships of the Rui Xi Country crashed due to an accident. Later on, they will compensate everyone according to the price.”

”There are many merchants who frequent the Ruixi Country. They all say that since it is an accident, they will not pursue the matter as long as it is not a compensation. So … Your Highness, are you two doing this on purpose? ”After that, this lowly official will have no choice but to report it to the various noble families and merchant brigades …”
