Chapter 215 Envoy Liu: ...
Although the Chen State delegation had thought that the Xia State was not easy to mess with before they came, they did not expect them to be so powerful.
In ten days, they negotiated three times and were beaten badly most of the time. Not to mention getting the two cities back, they almost lost a lot of supplies.
So when they received the letter from the State of Chen again, the Chen envoys were listless and did not dare to reply.
Someone said painfully: "It's too difficult. No matter how well we speak, it can't compare to the murderous aura displayed by the generals of Daxia in this battle."
The other members of the delegation sighed in sympathy.
Seeing his colleagues exhausted, Envoy Liu took a sip of tea.
She was not in a hurry. Negotiations were never done overnight. A true hunter should lie in wait for the best opportunity.
Envoy Liu comforted him, "Everyone, let's proceed step by step. Before the next negotiation, let's try to use Xia Guo's national teacher as a breakthrough point..."
Envoy Li suddenly stood up and said, "We can no longer play it safe. We are almost at the point of no return. I will use my last resort. I have decided to contact the Queen Mother."
Envoy Liu was startled and asked, "What?!"
She stood up suddenly: "No. It's too early." This is their trump card. As long as this line is used, the State of Chu will have a reason to swallow up a piece of land on the border!
Envoy Liu even thought that the upper echelons were sick! She had originally planned to never use this line!
However, Envoy Li ignored him and left. His younger brother followed him.
Envoy Liu frowned, and she prepared to discuss with her companions how to stop it.
At this moment, news suddenly came from outside that the Minister of Rites wanted to see him.
Envoy Liu walked out and looked up to find the Minister of Rites standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.
Envoy Liu felt a sense of mystery in her heart, and she bowed and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?!"
The Minister of Rites smiled and said, "Please speak in private."
Envoy Liu keenly felt that something was wrong.
She subconsciously took a half step back and said, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Are you sure?" The Minister of Rites approached Envoy Liu and said in a barely audible voice, "Sir, you don't want your identity as a girl to be discovered, do you?"
Envoy Liu's pupils trembled.
Who leaked her identity? Uncle? Impossible, he would only want to kill me, not to expose the family's shame. Could it be that person? That's impossible, too. The other party wanted to detain her in Chen State, not let her be controlled by Chu State. So who could it be? Who else could it be?
Envoy Liu broke out in cold sweat on his back, but he remained calm and said, "Nonsense. You are provoking my country Chen..."
The Minister of Rites interrupted him softly, "Don't be so excited, sir. Many people know your true gender. If you return to Chen, you will be involved in a conspiracy and controlled by others. Are you really willing to accept this?"
Envoy Liu: ...
The Minister of Rites added, "We also know that your biggest backup is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager will return to the palace tomorrow. You still have a few days to think about it."
Envoy Liu's pupils trembled:!!!
How come he even knew about the Queen Mother's collusion with the states of Chen and Chu?!
To what extent has Daxia's intelligence system been invaded!
……
The Minister of Rites did not stay for long. He turned around and went back to the Ministry of Rites to report and got busy.
It's not that I'm busy with the diplomatic mission, but there are two other things to deal with. One is that the Queen Mother's guard of honor is already ten miles away and will arrive within a few days.
The other was to work with the Ministry of Personnel to provide advice and suggestions for the imperial examination system.
Note: I'm super busy today, ahhh... One update. I'll update twice tomorrow. I give you guys a thumbs up.
