Chapter 468 Is this a must?
Chapter 468 Is this a must?
Su Yueyao arrived at the imperial study. The empress looked at her expressionlessly for a while and then said.
"Su Yueyao, tell me how you managed to charm the son of the regent of Dongli Kingdom? The conditions they offer are really tempting! I have been in office for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen such generous conditions."
"I don't know. I have a child now and don't want to be too far away from home. I also have no intention of leaving Fengluan Country." Su Yueyao said directly.
"Is the young master of the Wei family the son of the regent?"
"Your Majesty, since you have already found out, why are you still asking me? When I learned about his identity, I directly refused to take him as my husband."
"I should thank you. If you hadn't refused, I wouldn't have seen this letter." The Queen sneered.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that Young Master Wei didn't know about the order issued by the Regent?"
"Wei Jihua has already left Fengdu for a few days. This letter was sent urgently last night."
"Is it possible that he had someone send it here along the way?" Su Yueyao didn't believe that Wei Jihua didn't know about it. His face looked very ugly at that time.
"After I found out that his identity was different, I arranged for someone to keep an eye on him at all times. He has never sent any information."
"Your Majesty, didn't you try to stop him?" Su Yueyao asked subconsciously.
If she stopped him and used him to negotiate with the Regent, she wouldn't have to go to Dongli Country. Working is one thing, and going on a business trip is another.
Now she writes and draws at home every day, plays with her children, and has her husband to keep her company at night. Her life is so wonderful that she doesn't want to go on business trips!
"Heh... He has a master behind him to protect him. When he was in Fengdu City, I was confident that I could capture him in one fell swoop. Now that we are out of the city, I already know his identity. Do you think the Regent of Dongli Country is a vegetarian?"
"The moment this letter was delivered, the soldiers of Dongli Kingdom had already set up camp at the border garrison city, with a total of 100,000 troops!" said the Queen with a cold snort.
"Su Yueyao, what did you do to make the Regent care about you so much? For the sake of her son, she directly used coercion and bribery?"
"..."
"Your Majesty, I am going to say that I did nothing and did not do anything. Do you believe it?" Su Yueyao said with a sneer.
The Queen looked at her with a speechless look. Ever since Su Yueyao entered Fengdu, everything went smoothly for her and she was popular with men. Many outstanding young men wanted to throw themselves at her.
She remembered that in the past few days, someone came to her every day and asked her to arrange a marriage for Su Yueyao.
"Su Yueyao, this is also an opportunity. I don't care whether Dongliguo is sincere or not, you have to go and take a look."
"I will arrange your safety and have Yiyang send the imperial guards to escort you throughout the journey. The border of Dongli Kingdom is guarded by General Sun, and his grandson has already entered your mansion. He will go with you."
"Nanfeng will bring the Fengyu Guard to protect you closely. I will appoint Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu'an as special envoys to accompany you on the mission to Dongli Kingdom."
"Take the young master of the Xu family with you as well. I heard that he is very skilled in martial arts. I think he will be safe along the way."
"Your Majesty, my daughters are not even a month old yet. Do we have to go on this trip?" Su Yueyao asked again without giving up.
"You have to go. The child and your master and concubines have to stay in the mansion to take care of the two children."
"Your Majesty, I don't..."
"Su Yueyao, I don't mean to threaten you with the child and your husband, but I have to be on guard against the Dongli Kingdom's attack. Do you understand?" The Queen interrupted Su Yueyao and said.
"I have already sent a letter to you, asking you to leave a few days later so that you can hold your daughters' full-month banquet."
Su Yueyao still felt that His Majesty wanted to keep her husband and children as hostages! The ones who were going with her this time were all new servants who had just entered the palace and had not yet developed feelings for each other. They didn't have much leverage, so she must be worried about leaving Qianqian and his children behind...
"His Majesty..."
"Since your master can't go, let Tao'er accompany you! Your concubine in the martial arts world can also go with you." The Queen said, looking at Su Yueyao's face.
"Your Majesty, I still feel that you are on guard against me." Su Yueyao said directly.
"Su Yueyao, you are so insolent. As a citizen of Fengluan Country, you are the only one who can protect Dongjing's safety. I will try even if I have to tie you up."
"Your Majesty, if you want Dongjing to be safe, you can ask me to go, but why doesn't Your Majesty let me take the master and the children with me? Isn't it because you are afraid that I will go there and never come back if you leave them alone?"
"Now that you are the Grand Tutor of the Crown Princess, I believe you will not betray Fengluan Country, so I let Tao'er follow you to Dongli Country. It is dangerous for a royal prince to go on a diplomatic mission to an enemy country."
"Are you going to travel with your one-month-old daughter? We will be displaced along the way, and I am even more afraid that the Dongli Kingdom will capture your two children." The Queen snorted coldly.
"No matter what, your two children cannot leave Fengluan Country. If you want to take others with you, that's fine. I don't care."
Su Yueyao felt a headache after listening to the Queen's words. What the Queen said made sense. She really didn't know what the situation was in Dongli Kingdom. She didn't plan to take her two daughters out because the children were indeed too young. But she was unhappy with the Queen's request.
"Go back and think about it yourself. Leave! I will issue an imperial decree later."
"My minister retire."
Su Yueyao left the palace with a hint of depression.
When she arrived at the palace gate, she found Cui Yiyang, Nanfeng, Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu An waiting for her.
"My dear wife." Several people bowed.
"Get up! Why are you all waiting here?"
"Yueyeao, we are worried that something might happen to you when you enter the palace. I just rushed here after receiving the news. Let's go back home first!" Cui Yiyang said.
Su Yueyao got on the carriage and said to them, "Come on up, all of you!"
Several people got on the carriage and behaved properly without saying a word.
"Has the time for Yueyao's mission to Dongli Kingdom been set? Is it after the children's full-month banquet?" Cui Yiyang asked.
"Well, I'm going to go there."
"I think the list of people that His Majesty requested for this trip includes those of us who have just entered the palace, as well as His Majesty the Grand Prince and the Deputy Commander?" Gongyang Ruoyu said directly.
Su Yueyao looked at him and said directly: "You guessed it right!"
"My wife had an argument with His Majesty in the Imperial Study? She felt that His Majesty was holding the master and the children hostage, and asked her to go to Dongli Country and not to have any other thoughts."
"How did you guess everything?" Su Yueyao said speechlessly.
"It's not hard to guess. Her Majesty has appointed you as the Grand Tutor of the Princess. She probably thinks you won't betray the country. But she is more afraid that you will be controlled by the Dongli Kingdom and turn around to deal with the Fengluan Kingdom. We all know that the only ones who can control you are your children and your husband."
"After all, Master Wei should have seen that it is equivalent to my wife having a soft spot in the eyes of the Dongli people."
"Your Majesty will not be so foolish as to let you go on a diplomatic mission and let you go with your weaknesses." Gongyang Ruoyu said.
"..."
Su Yueyao saw that Gong Yang Ruoyu said he didn't want to talk, and thought she was so smart that she guessed everything before he said anything.
"That's why His Majesty asked you to not bring the Lord and the Consorts with you, but only us. If something happens to us in Dongli Country, you won't feel bad, right?"
