MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 97

Now that it's started, of course this melon has to be eaten.

Yan Shu immediately asked the system, [Quick, tell me in detail, what's going on here. 】

Then the system started talking, [Dangxia's old Khan passed away five years ago, and the new Khan Hu Yuanmao came to power. In fact, the new Khan is only eighteen years old, and he is still a young boy. During the past five years, he has been all The old lady, Empress Dowager Xiao, is controlling the government. 】

[In addition to this son, Queen Mother Xiao also has a daughter, who is Dangxia's eldest princess. Consort. So why choose him? Because this eldest princess actually has some deficiencies in her mother's womb, and her health is not very good when she is born. Empress Dowager Xiao didn't do anything else, she just felt that this man looked quite honest, and he shouldn't dare to bully her daughter. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help interjecting, 【Then according to the routine, this person is actually not honest, right? Could it be like Zhao Chengwen, Yu Wenyan's son-in-law back then, who had several outer chambers outside? 】

The system said, 【That's not the case. After all, Dangxia Country is small, and the capital is also small. This person has the heart but not the ability. However, Che Hongtu was indeed dishonest. On the surface, he treated the eldest princess well, but he had already had various thoughts behind his back. It is said that after two years of marriage, the eldest princess finally gave birth to a son, but her health became worse due to exhaustion, and she still couldn't get out of bed all day after confinement. He sent a clever maid beside him to take care of him, but he didn't know that this maid had just arrived at the princess mansion not long ago, so she got together with Che Hongtu. 】

Yanshu, let me go, don't these two people lack great virtue?

Especially what kind of picture is this car, that Princess Dangxia is in poor health because of his childbirth, at such a time, how can he get together with the Queen Mother's maid?

She hurriedly asked the system, [So could it be that the princess found out about the adultery between the two, and just made the princess mad like this? 】

The system, [Yes, this incident was first discovered by the princess's maidservant. If you want to say that this maidservant was a little impulsive, she didn't think carefully and told the princess directly. I didn't expect the princess to be angry immediately after hearing this. He collapsed and died without even being rescued. 】

Yan Shu didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh, 【Isn't that right, people who are too weak to get out of bed, must not be able to stand this stimulation. What happened after that? Does Queen Mother Xiao know about this? Didn't he or the maidservant be held accountable? 】

System, 【According to Empress Dowager Xiao's style, if she knew, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to tear this person apart. But it is a pity that after Che Hongtu found out that the adultery was exposed, he immediately killed the maidservant who informed the princess, and claimed that it was the maidservant who stole that caused the princess to die in anger. Fan cried bitterly, saying that he failed to take good care of the princess, and wished he could follow her away. 】

Yan Shu, 【...so that Empress Dowager Xiao still doesn't know the truth? Was it just fooled by him? 】

The system, [Yes, after all, there is still a little grandson waiting to be fed. Although the Empress Dowager Xiao has some doubts about her daughter's death, for the sake of her little grandson, she still assigns this person an envoy. Daliang made a good deal, and there must be some important task for him when he goes back. 】

Yan Shu understood, 【So why is the picture of this car so loud, just waiting to make a big contribution and go back, so as to seek a higher official position from the mother-in-law? 】

The system, [Yes, that's what happened. 】

Yan Shu thought hehe, let's go to his daydream! It is expected that the mortal enemy Xiong Rong would not dare to make such a condition with Daliang, let alone his party Xia is a small country.

Others in the hall thought the same way.

Hearing Che Hongtu's words, several courtiers from Daliang immediately shook their heads and said, "Could this envoy be drunk? If it were you, would you agree to such a request?"

"That's right, I, Daliang, is not a vassal of your Dang Xia, so why should I be so humble and beg you to befriend me? And open three cities? One city is too much!"

"That's right, you don't want you to pay taxes? Is this co-authorship giving you money for free? Then what are you going to do to us? Also open three cities? Don't you want us to pay taxes?"

Having said that, Dangxia is only a piece of land the size of a palm. If the three cities are really opened up, it will probably open up to their capitals.

The voice fell, but Che Hongtu raised his head and said, "Daliang is a big country anyway, and the number of people in the area is many times that of our Dangxia. You can't be so stingy. You have to haggle over every detail with Dangxia, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their eyebrows——

Heh, is this person planning to make money for nothing?

Not to mention that Daliang is not stupid, in front of so many envoys from other countries today, if Daliang can agree to their unreasonable conditions, what will other foreign countries think?

How can you daydream like this!

And sure enough, after hearing what he said, the king finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "The so-called 'reciprocity is respected', the sages in our country have said, 'If you go and don't come, it's indecent. If you come and don't go, it's also indecent." According to this According to the envoy, your country probably doesn't intend to make friends with Daliang, so you might as well go back and think about it."

After the words fell, everyone nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, I saw that Che Hongtu smiled and said again, "I think the only thing that should be considered is His Majesty the Emperor. How many times our party Xia has blocked the invasion of the Huns for Daliang these years, doesn't His Majesty know? Neither do I today. To hide the truth from His Majesty the Emperor, Khan Hunrong has long intended to befriend our Party Xia in recent years, if he misses out on our Party Xia's ally today, he will not regret it in the future."

What?

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers of Daliang all frowned—according to this meaning, if they don't agree with Dang Xia today, they will go to form an alliance with Xiong Rong?

You know, this Xiongrong is Daliang's biggest enemy. According to Dangxia's meaning now, isn't it a naked threat?

For a while, the anger of the crowd rose again.

The same is true for Yu Wenlan.

At this time, there was no smile on his face, and he only said to Che Hongtu in a cold voice, "If I remember correctly, in the past thirty years alone, Xiongrong has killed the three khans of Dangxia. There are ten generals and countless people. That barbarian has such a nature. If it is said that your country is blocking the Huns for our beams, it is really unnecessary. Go, I can only wish you both well."

As the voice fell, everyone echoed, "That's right, if you want to get married, go ahead. I just found out today that Dangxia is such a spineless country."

"That's right, such a deep hatred can be tolerated, no wonder they have the audacity to put forward such conditions."

"Who said no..."

Under such a reaction, Che Hongtu paused, and a little panic finally appeared in his eyes.

Yan Shu couldn't help but sneered in her heart when she saw it in her eyes, it's time to screw it up, right?

Hmph, how dare to threaten her little emperor like this, just wait, the good show is yet to come!

~~

It was probably because she was too angry at the dinner today, and when she returned to Ganlu Hall, Yu Wenlan's face was still cold.

Seeing it, Yan Shu dismissed the idlers and asked him, "Is Your Majesty angry because of that Party Xia envoy?"

Yu Wenlan didn't deny it, just sneered, and said, "I never thought that this small country would be so brazen."

Oh, how dare you threaten him with Xiongrong?

Then let them go, and see if the Huns don't swallow them until there are no bones left.

Unexpectedly, when the voice fell, Yan Shu hurriedly said, "Actually, there is an inside story about this matter. According to the news of my concubine, the party Xia Kehan ​​and Queen Mother Xiao did intend to make friends with us, but it all depends on the name of the car. , it was he who was trying to make a great contribution and go back to invite rewards, so he dared to speak so loudly this time."

Yu Wenlan asked and frowned, "Is that so?"

Yan Shu nodded vigorously, "It's absolutely true. Speaking of which, does Your Majesty know how long it takes from the capital to the capital of Daliang?"

Yu Wenlan was still a little puzzled, "Why do you ask that?"

Yan Shu said righteously, "Because this guy named Che Wutu **** his own wife to death, that is, Dang Xia's eldest princess, the daughter of Empress Dowager Xiao, Dang Xia doesn't know about it yet, my concubine As a righteous person, how can you watch yourself do nothing?"

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Well, he never thought that there would be such a thing?

Well, if that's the case, then you can only blame the car for being smart.

…

~~

It is a full two thousand miles from Daliang Capital to Dangxia Capital.

However, if the horse speeds up, a secret letter can arrive in three to five days.

So it didn't take long for the Empress Dowager Xiao in the Dangxia Palace to receive news that was enough to make her furious—it turned out that her most beloved daughter was actually **** to death by her husband.

The secret letter was very detailed and convincing, even the time and place of her daughter's death, and the names of the servants who served her were very clear. The time and place when Che Hongtu hung out, and the gold and silver jewelry that Che Hongtu gave to the court lady.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiao had already believed it, she was furious and immediately sent someone to investigate again.

But before the results of the investigation came out, she received an official letter from the Daliang court.

The letter angrily detailed what her envoy Che Hongtu did in Daliang, and sternly reprimanded their party Xia for being insincere and spineless. Xiong Rong made friends with him.

After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Xiao was furious, and immediately sent another group of envoys to Daliang.

…

At the same time, in the capital city of Daliang, the new work of Young Master Xiaoyao also appeared in front of readers again.

——The story of Bamianshufang, which identified the protagonist’s identity last time, is still unsatisfactory, so everyone is a little curious now. I wonder if this story is still famous and surnamed?

For a while, they rushed to buy again and read them one after another.

After reading it, everyone found that although this story did not specify the name, it happened in a foreign country, which is also very distinctive.

The princess in the story is innocent, gentle and pleasant. She was deeply loved by her mother since she was a child. When she reached the age of Jin, her mother chose a son-in-law for her after thousands of choices.

Unexpectedly, the son-in-law is upright and gentle on the surface, but in fact he is lustful and despicable. On the one hand, he obeys the princess's gentle and soft words, but on the other hand, he secretly colludes with the servant girl in the mansion and does all kinds of despicable things. One day things will be revealed, and the princess can't accept himself The trusting husband turned out to be such a good-for-nothing, and caused postpartum hemorrhage in anger, and unfortunately passed away.

And this husband, in a hurry, planned to kill people to silence him and cover up his crime.

Fortunately, the empress dowager was wise enough to see the opponent's trick in time, and immediately executed the hypocrite and his concubine in anger to comfort her daughter's spirit in heaven.

After reading this story, the righteous readers all spurned the heartless son-in-law here, regretted the princess who died early, and praised the wise and decisive queen mother.

Regarding this, the empress dowager was a little puzzled after listening to the story read by Yan Shu herself.

As Yanshu's leader, the Queen Mother naturally knew that this was about the royal family of Xia Kingdom.

She said, "The Queen Mother Xiao has been deceived by that son-in-law for a long time. If Her Majesty hadn't sent someone to send a secret letter, she still doesn't know the truth. Why do you write about her so wisely?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Because the concubine wrote this book for Dangxia people to read, so naturally I want to write better for the queen mother, and besides, this revenge is about fast news, so readers will feel uncomfortable after reading it." Shu Shuang, and after that Empress Dowager Xiao must know the truth, she must be full of guilt towards her daughter, if this book can make her feel more comfortable, it will also benefit the relationship between our two countries."

The Empress Dowager suddenly came to a sudden, nodded and said, "So that's the case, that is, I want to flatter that Empress Dowager Xiao."

Yan Shu chuckled, "That's true. After all, one more friend is better than one more enemy."

The Empress Dowager also laughed, "That's the truth. It's just that this picture called a car is too annoying. I don't know when people from their country will be able to go to the capital? Just don't tell him to run away."

Yan Shu said, "Hurry up, hurry up, they must be anxious when they know the truth, and wish they could catch this man back for trial."

Now, the guards of the post house must be more strict in guarding it, and don't let that person run away.

~~

And sure enough, within six or seven days, the new envoy sent by Dang Xia arrived in the capital.

This new envoy was an old minister of Dangxia, who had always advocated goodwill with Daliang when he was in the country, and when he came here now, he changed Che Hongtu's rhetoric and clarified Dangxia's court's position with all sincerity.

Daliang was also generous, and after some discussion between the two sides, a decision was quickly made - to open a city at the border for mutual commerce and trade, to allow the people of the two countries to do business, and to cut taxes by half each to show mutual sincerity.

As soon as the news came out, both sides were satisfied. Compared with other countries, Daliang did not favor one over the other, so there was no objection, and everyone was happy.

Then, the envoys from various countries bid farewell one after another and set off on their way home.

The party's envoy Xia also hurried back to his capital with the guilty minister Che Hongtu. Thanks to the **** of Daliang guards all the way, Che Hongtu tried to run several times but failed.

I heard that the Empress Dowager Xiao was already furious, and waiting for the punishment of the car or something would only increase more than what was written in the storybook.

Yan Shu silently put wax on this man in her heart.

It is common to see people who have done bad things, but it is rare that there are such arrogant people who have done bad things.

Heh, there is no need to raise your head three feet above the gods, in front of her everything, all demons and ghosts have nowhere to hide!
