Chapter 414 Identity Token
Duanmuyu knew that he couldn't help himself now.
It's not that he has never been to Xiqi. When he went to Dongling to pay tribute, he also dealt with the envoys of Xiqi - although not many times, these people may have forgotten him.
Chu Qinghuang had never met him before, so Duanmu Yu didn't know whether Chu Qinghuang really didn't know him or was pretending to be confused with him.
At this moment, he must find a way to prove his identity.
As the king of a country, he definitely doesn't want to go to jail, and he definitely doesn't want to experience the eighteen kinds of torture. If Her Majesty the Queen is pretending to be stupid with him, he has to prove his identity-it is said that those who don't know are not guilty.
If he continues to treat him harshly even though he knows his identity, then he will have a legitimate excuse to raise troops to fight in the future. He wants to see if this little girl dares to continue to be so arrogant when the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry approaches the city.
But Duanmu Yu also had concerns.
This time he came in secret, and he didn't bring many guards. Although they were all experts, no matter how powerful they were, they were still outnumbered. What if the little girl Xiqi held his token?
He has suffered losses before, so now he has learned to be cautious.
"Emperor Duanmu seems to be deeply concerned." Chu Qinghuang smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter, even if you can't take it out for the time being, I will definitely treat you with courtesy. After all, a good relationship between the two countries is something worth looking forward to. Duanmu Since the emperor has come all the way, he will stay in Xiqi for a while. I will treat him well and never dare to neglect Emperor Duanmu. "
Duanmu Yu's heart trembled. Was he going to be placed under house arrest?
"Northern Xinjiang is busy with government affairs. I cannot stay here for too long. If the king of a country does not return home for a long time, it will definitely cause speculation and uneasiness among the ministers in the DPRK. If this causes a war between the two countries, I am afraid that I, the king, will be guilty."
Chu Qinghuang said: "I can write a handwritten letter and send it to Northern Xinjiang to explain the situation."
Duanmuyu smiled lightly: "How dare you trouble Her Majesty the Queen——"
"This matter has been settled." Chu Qinghuang didn't want to listen to his ramblings, so she turned around and ordered, "Emperor Duanmu and his father are contemporaries. Since his father abdicated and traveled around the world, in the following days, the emperor will Uncle, please treat Emperor Duanmu well for me."
King Rong bowed and accepted the order: "I obey the order. I will do my best to make Emperor Duanmu feel at home."
"I can rest assured when your uncle is doing his work." Chu Qinghuang picked up the wine cup and gestured to Duanmu Yu from a distance, "Even though Emperor Duanmu didn't send any congratulatory gifts, I have come all the way here, and I still feel deeply for this sincerity. I’ll give you a toast.”
From the moment he stepped into the palace, Duanmu Yu lost his dominant position and had no choice but to obey Chu Qinghuang's arrangements. Regardless of whether this was a decision against his will, he had no room to compete.
As for whether he will hold grudges in the future, and whether he will lead his troops to attack Xiqi after returning to Northern Xinjiang because of this, these are all things for the future. When will it be in the future, who can say for sure?
Chu Qinghuang felt that Duanmu Yu had been the emperor for long enough. Her father had abdicated, so there was no reason why Northern Xinjiang could not change to another emperor.
Such a simple thing, there is no need to think about it at all.
After the palace banquet, everyone escorted the Queen Mother back to the palace and sent Concubine Duan out of the palace. The two women were silent from beginning to end, and they still looked worried when they left.
Especially Princess Duan, she couldn't help but recall what the official said just now, "He looks a bit like His Majesty..."
Who among the women in the harem doesn’t know how to read their words? The ministers stopped talking before they finished speaking, and everyone looked at the shocked expression of the assassin, and the strange eyes when they looked at Tianzheng, it was like thorns piercing into her heart, making her feel like she had been stabbed by a lot of things. He was restless as if he were biting by insects.
It seems that some truth that has been sealed for many years is about to be revealed, but it was deeply buried at the critical moment.
"What is the concubine thinking?" Chu Tianzheng walked beside her and noticed Concubine Duan's unusual expression. He frowned and said, "Didn't I ask the concubine to talk to Chu Qinghuang before entering the palace? My son doesn't want to I have nothing to do all day long, but I am allowed to hold an official position. The ministers of the court now see me as if they are seeing nothing, and the children of the aristocratic families do not take me seriously... It is such a useless life to live like this! "
Concubine Duan turned her head and looked at his face calmly. No matter how she looked, she couldn't find any resemblance to the Supreme Emperor on his face.
His face was full of indignation, sorrow, and injustice. The face that used to hurt so much now seemed to have become unfamiliar.
