Chapter 835: Feast of Thanks

Nalan night, force him too much!

The calloused palm slowly attached to Concubine Li's tender hand, and Emperor Dongwan finally spoke out word by word: "Don't worry, as long as you haven't done it, I won't let Nalan Ye be arrogant." ”

"Actually, Your Majesty...... It is not very difficult to deal with this matter, as long as His Majesty is determined. At this moment, Concubine Li Guifei whispered in Emperor Dongwan's ear, her voice was full of endless charm, and she exhaled like an orchid: "As long as Nalan Ye and Princess Chu don't pursue this matter, wouldn't it be simple?" ”

With a move in his heart, Emperor Dongwan turned his head and looked at Concubine Li Guifei's beautiful face, frowning slightly: "How can I keep them from being held accountable?" Faintly, he seemed to understand something......

Li Guifei smiled slightly, and a touch of fierceness flashed in her eyes: "Only the dead will not be held accountable, is Your Majesty right?" ”

Not bad!

As long as Nalan Ye is killed and his woman is cleaned up, this matter will be completely solved.

Emperor Dongwan's eyes were cold, and a murderous aura was revealed, and the majesty of the king in the world was finally vividly presented, even Li Guifei was shocked, for fear that he would see any clues and flaws.

Now that Nalan is in Dongwan at night, he didn't lead troops at all, can he still be able to defeat his royal forbidden army in Dongwan?

Even his master is dead, and Nalan Ye can escape again? As long as he strikes first and takes him by surprise, Emperor Dongwan doesn't believe that Nalan Ye can escape from his palm, as long as Nalan Ye dies, the rest of Xichu has nothing to fear.

Following......

Nalan Ye received an invitation sent by Emperor Dongwan, inviting him to enter the palace for a banquet tonight.

Bao Quanan took two little eunuchs and commanded more than a dozen palace people to carry the wooden boxes one by one, and cautiously flattered: "Lord King Chu, these are all old slaves sent by His Majesty to bring you to the King of Chu, all of which were personally selected by His Majesty in the imperial treasury. ”

All the boxes were opened, and suddenly the golden light was shining, the five colors were colorful, and all kinds of jewels and jade were even more scorching under the sunlight, which made people dizzy. The items in these dozen or so boxes add up to at least millions, which shows Emperor Dongwan's arrogance and sincerity in making amends.

"Your Majesty deeply regrets the matter of King Chu's respect for his teacher, and is willing to take responsibility and consequences for this. Therefore, I implore the king of Chu to calm his anger, and at the thank-giving banquet tonight, I only ask the king of Chu not to say this, and His Majesty is willing to promise in public that the taxes of Lin'an, the border city of Dongwan near Western Chu, and the three cities of Huyang and Guangheng, will be given to Western Chu for three years free of charge. ”

While speaking, Bao Quanan looked at Nalan Ye's face, saw that he was not shocked and did not change color, and finally gritted his teeth and said the last point: "King Chu rest assured, Your Majesty has already said that after the banquet tonight, he will personally take King Chu to see Concubine Li." A glass of wine, His Majesty has long been ready. ”

Only then did his eyes move, and Nalan Ye didn't seem to expect things to go so smoothly, and said loudly: "Really? ”

In order to appease his anger, Emperor Dongwan was really willing to kill his concubine?

Bao Quanan said: "Yes, Your Majesty agreed, because Your Majesty understands that this matter is all caused by the concubine, otherwise the Venerable Master would not have gone to this immortal." As long as the anger of the King of Chu can be appeased and the friendship between Dongwan and Western Chu can continue, His Majesty is willing to admit his mistakes, but His Majesty has already made such a concession, and I also hope that the King of Chu can understand one of His Majesty's requests. ”

"What requirements?"

Nalan Ye asked, and he couldn't see through the development of things.

I had already made plans to make a big fuss, and even went to the city to avenge my master, but now it turned around, and it was incredible! Could it be that Emperor Dongwan really didn't want to turn his face with Xichu, didn't want to offend him, and didn't care about his own face?

In this way, Emperor Dongwan can also be regarded as a person with a bit of heart and strength!

"Your Majesty said that he was willing to execute the concubine Niangniang, but the Queen Mother ...... The Queen Mother is very old, and she has the kindness to raise His Majesty. His Majesty wants to ask the King of Chu to look at his face, can the Queen Mother's responsibility not be pursued? ”

Seeing that Nalan Ye's eyes were cold, Bao Quanan hurriedly said: "As long as the King of Chu agrees, Dongwan is willing to send a letter of alliance, and Dongwan and Western Chu will be friendly forever and will never be violated." At the same time, as a witness, I am willing to send the three cities of Lin'an directly to the King of Chu! ”

"Use three cities to exchange the life of the Empress Dowager Sun?" Nalan Ye let out a low voice.

"I beg the King of Chu to think twice, for the sake of His Majesty's pure filial piety and friendship between the two countries, this matter will be over, right?" Bao Quanan bowed deeply, while secretly looking at Luo Qingluan on the side, his eyes pleading, as if hoping that she could persuade the King of Chu.

The corners of his lips hooked, Luo Qingluan turned his head to look at Nalan Ye, but saw that his face was dark, and his eyes were silent, as if he was thinking about something. She nodded at Bao Quanan and said softly: "The king of Chu knows, father-in-law should go back first, and tell His Majesty that the king of Chu knows and will go to the banquet on time tonight." ”

Bao Quanan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you Princess Chu." ”

Seeing that Nalan Ye had no objection, he hurriedly took someone back to the palace to restore his life.

When they left, Luo Qingluan got up, walked to the ten boxes, and grabbed them casually, which were pieces of jasper and pearls. The cold and hard texture represents endless wealth, which is not something that ordinary people can buy with money.

At a casual glance, Luo Qingluan could see that this batch of treasures was definitely not inferior to the one transported from Beijun, and it would only be better, and the number was almost half. If all of them are exchanged for gold, I am afraid that it will not be less than five million taels, and it will be able to buy a few cities.

Pearls rolled down from her palms and fell back into the box, making a crisp sound, Luo Qingluan muttered: "Nalan Ye, you see these things, they are priceless, they are the compensation sent by Emperor Dongwan, what do you think?" ”

As soon as he moved, Nalan Ye had already walked over, staring coldly at these dazzling things, without a little temperature: "It's just some mundane things that can't be eaten or used, do you like it?" ”

"Naturally, I like it."

Luo Qingluan smiled slightly, and took Nalan Ye's hand: "Do you think, if we sell these things, I'm afraid it will be tens of millions of taels of silver, and send them back to China, even if we don't use them, wouldn't it be appropriate for the Ministry of Industry to repair bridges and pave roads and provide relief to the victims?" ”

His face was warm, and Nalan Ye softened his voice: "It turns out that you want to ......"

He almost blamed her, thinking that Luo Qingluan liked these things and wanted to persuade him to accept them, but it turned out that she thought so.

"I'm sorry, Qingluan, I ......"

A hand lightly covered his lips, and Luo Qingluan said loudly: "Nalan Ye, I don't blame you, now that you are nervous about Master's hatred, you naturally have to think more." It's normal to care about chaos, so that's why I'm going to help you think about the rest, if you say that everything that is sent to your door is rejected with a blind eye, isn't it a waste of someone else's mind? ”

"Then you just promised to go to the banquet, which means ......"

His eyes gradually cleared, and Nalan Ye, who was a little calmer, gradually understood Luo Qingluan's thoughts.

"Do you think that in order to appease your anger, Emperor Xichu would rather poison his favorite concubine with a glass of wine, is this possible?" Although Emperor Dongwan was very sincere, it was this that aroused Luo Qingluan's suspicions more and more.

has always been the head of the Four Kingdoms, but Emperor Dongwan compromised so much this time, and even did not hesitate to pay the price of three cities, just to get the queen mother's life. Although this seems to be his filial piety and can't bear to have an accident with his biological mother, he is the king of a country and an emperor, and Nalan Ye's aggressive persecution has made him lose his dignity, and only a war is the emperor's bloody nature and choice.

But Emperor Dongwan didn't, but instead agreed to all kinds of things, and even set up a banquet to make amends, which was really not a choice he should make.

Tonight's banquet is only afraid that it will be a Hongmen banquet!

"I was just casually perfunctory just now, whether I go or not depends on your arrangement." Luo Qingluan said.

The pupils of his eyes were deep, and Nalan Ye's eyes were full of fighting intent, and the corners of his lips were lightly raised: "Go, naturally I want to go." Otherwise, how could this king take that woman's life and avenge his master? ”

Let Emperor Dongwan be a cocoon and bind himself!

At the beginning of the afternoon, a magnificent carriage stopped in front of the house.

There are all kinds of honor guards, so that passers-by on the street can know at a glance that it is the royal family traveling, and the nobles are driving. There are palace people holding feather fans, two teams of forbidden troops who open the way, and two horses pulling carts are even more snow-white, without a single stray hair, their eyes are round and watery, and their coat color is oily and soft. The corner of the carriage was also tattooed with the logo of the Dongwan royal family, and everyone saw it from afar and immediately leaned over to salute.

Sitting in this gorgeous carriage, Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan finally entered the Dongwan Palace together.

As if it was deliberately welcomed, the road after entering the palace was covered with red carpets, and the decorations along the way were extraordinarily luxurious and elegant. Walking slowly forward along the hundreds of white marble steps, Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye walked side by side, paying attention to the surrounding scene.

A horn roared in the sky, the sound of whining resounded in the sky, the thick and distant trumpet accompanied by the release of the salute, even in the daytime, there were red clouds in the sky, and the colored paper fell in the wind.

This is the etiquette that Dongwan Kingdom will have to welcome important envoys, and you can imagine how much attention is paid to their banquet. A group of Dongwan's ministers were wearing court clothes one by one, waiting on both sides of the main hall, with curious and terrified eyes, which more and more highlighted Nalan Ye's status in Dongwan.

One after another, his eyes fell on him, with exploration and amazement, Luo Qingluan seemed to have not checked, and his face was indifferent and he followed Nalan Ye into the main hall together.

The main hall is resplendent and splendid, huge and empty, on the front steps is a golden dragon chair, Emperor Dongwan is wearing a dragon robe and sits on it, Luo Qingluan's eyes turned, and he saw Queen Wei beside him, still peaceful and dignified, with a smile on her face.

A table has been set up on both sides of the main hall, and the melons, fruits, wine, and dishes on it have been prepared, and after Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan sat down, a group of Dongwan ministers rushed in and sat in their positions.

Then the music sounded, a group of long-sleeved palace maids sang and danced, the music was melodious, the dancing posture was beautiful, and the ministers appreciated it, most of the eyes have been on the Chu King Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan. Emperor Dongwan opened his mouth from time to time, asking about the national conditions and people's livelihood of Xichu and Dongwan, Nalan answered at night, talking eloquently, and his performance was not half different, as if he really came to Dongwan to play as a guest.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Emperor Dongwan never mentioned that incident. Tonight's so-called apology banquet is even more impossible to talk about, everyone is talking and laughing, celebrating the strength of Dongwan and the prosperity of Xichu, as if the harmony under the peace of the prosperous world, full of joy.

Drinking until night, when the ministers were already overwhelmed by the wine, and when they were all red and spoke freely, Bao Quanan, who was beside Emperor Dongwan, quietly walked to Nalan Ye's side and said softly: "Your Majesty promises, you should abide by it, that side is ready, and in a moment, someone from the palace will take the King of Chu to Qixia Palace to see the concubine Niangniang." Whether the king of Chu wants to do it himself, or a glass of wine, is up to the king of Chu. ”

Luo Qingluan's heart moved, but he was afraid that it was time.
