”This King does not believe in ghosts and gods.” Mo Lianjin enunciated every word with absolute determination.
Su Li bit his lower lip, thinking of Jian Zhihang, who should be the moving encyclopedia, ”I will ask Jian Zhihang if there are any other ways to test the age of a State Grandmaster.”
”Yes.”
The previous conversation had been a bit heavy, and after it had ended, the two of them had been silent for a while, each thinking of a different possibility.
When he was near the palace gate, Su Li suddenly thought of the matter of the Bei Yue diplomatic mission asking for the participation of women, ”The procedures for the exchange of information with the Bei Yue should have been decided long ago, why did the Bei Yue suddenly go back on its words?”
”The female general Luo Chushu of Bei Yue is here.”
”Luo Chushu?” Su Li rummaged through the original owner's memories, and actually found some information related to Luo Chushu.
She was a legendary girl, and in the male power era, she had displayed great power since childhood. She had fought in battle for her father and won many battles, so she was Luo Chuge's elder sister.
Su Li became interested, ”Why would she come?”
A profound look flashed past Mo Lianjin's eyes, and he said after a moment of silence, ”This king does not know.”
”Have you met her during your years at the border? ”What does she look like?”
Mo Lianjin unhappily pinched her nose. ”Why do I feel that your interest in her is greater than yours?”
Su Li covered his nose and laughed dryly, ”Let's not talk about her anymore, let's talk about the Fourth Prince.”
Mo Lianjin's face darkened, this woman's guts is getting fatter and fatter? You actually dare to chat with him about other men?
”If he can't find any medicine for his leg ailment, it'll be at most a year.”
Mo Lianjin's expression stiffened. There was not much interaction between him and Mo Lianjue, he only knew that he was not doing well in the palace.
”He went to see you?”
”It happened a few days ago. You were too busy to tell me.” Su Li said as she sighed, ”If you have any way to find rare medicinal ingredients, help him.”
”Yes.”
At the palace gates, the carriage stopped.
Greenwood and the flute could only follow them to the Second Palace. They were not allowed to enter.
By the time the two of them arrived at the Cloud Sparrow Hall, everyone else had already arrived.
Emperor An and the Empress sat on top, and Imperial Noble Consort Yan and the Imperial Noble Consort Chun sat on both sides.
Below them were the crown prince and Su Qianyan, then Mo Lianjin and Su Li, Mo Lianyun and his second wife, Han Xiang'er.
Adding on to the pile of heirs, dukes, and princes, before the diplomatic mission from Bei Yue had even arrived, Nanling's people had practically filled the great hall of Yunque Hall.
Su Li and Su Qianyan sat facing each other, their gazes clashing in mid air. Su Qianyan took the lead and laughed flirtatiously.
Her temperament was greatly different from a few days ago.
Su Li lifted half her lips and sneered coldly.
It looked like Su Qianyan had broken through the last layer of relationship with Mo Lianxuan. No wonder the Emperor An gave him such a marriage opportunity, Su Qianyan's methods really made people feel cold.
Su Li noticed that the empress dowager, State Grandmaster and the Fourth Prince were the only ones who had not come to the palace.
Following the singing of the ceremonial music, the diplomatic mission of Bei Yue began to enter the hall.
The leader was still Luo Chuge, and beside him stood a woman. With a veil covering her face, only a pair of eyes could be seen, and a warm and long skirt could be seen.
Su Li was a little confused. She had imagined that the Luo Chushu she saw in would be that type of outspoken and magnanimous, not such a beautiful and elegant woman.
”The son of the Bei Yue, the princess of the Bei Yue … and the Bei Yue diplomatic mission greeted the Emperor of Southern Spirit Kingdom. ”
