Chapter 100 Jia Xiaoyan's Long-Awaited Golden Finger!
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of Xijing Kingdom, Emperor Jiang Liushen had already dealt with domestic affairs properly, resolving long-standing political issues one by one, and the court gradually returned to its former tranquility. However, there was still one thing he couldn't let go of in his heart: his younger sister, Gu Liuli, who was far away in Nanzhao Kingdom.
Jiang Liushen arrived at the former emperor Jiang He's palace. His face showed some weariness, but also deep longing: "Father, can't we let my sister come back? It was so hard to find her and reunite with her!" His voice was choked with emotion as he recalled the scene of reuniting with his sister, his heart filled with reluctance.
Jiang He looked at his son and sighed, "Alas, Liu Shen, do you think your father didn't want to? Before we even found Gu Liuli, she had already married the Crown Prince of Nanzhao."
Now she is the rightful Crown Princess. Moreover, she has demonstrated extraordinary abilities in the Nanzhao Kingdom, so how could the Emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom easily release her? Jiang He's eyes were full of helplessness. He knew that the relationship between the two countries was complicated, and this matter was by no means easy.
Jiang Liu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Father, then we should at least send an envoy to visit my sister, bringing her some local specialties and our longing." Jiang He nodded slightly, "That's feasible, but we must carefully consider the choice of this envoy. He must be able to represent the sincerity of our Xijing Kingdom, and also know how to deal with the Nanzhao Kingdom."
So the father and son began discussing the selection of an envoy. They reviewed the resumes of court officials and analyzed each person's personality and abilities. Ultimately, they chose Lin Yu, the Vice Minister of Rites. Lin Yu was a composed and sociable man with a deep understanding of the etiquette and culture of both countries.
Jiang He said to Lin Yu, "Minister Lin, this mission to visit the princess in Nanzhao is a weighty responsibility. You must convey our thoughts and blessings, and at the same time, be mindful of maintaining the friendly relations between our two countries." Lin Yu bowed and accepted the order, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost."
A few days later, Lin Yu, carrying specialties from Xijing Kingdom and a letter filled with longing, embarked on his journey to Nanzhao Kingdom.
The emperor of the Nanzhao Kingdom sat on his magnificent dragon throne, intently handling state affairs. Suddenly, a royal guard rushed into the hall, knelt on one knee, and presented a secret letter.
The emperor frowned slightly, took the secret letter, opened it, and his expression instantly turned serious. The letter reported that an envoy from the Western Jing Kingdom would soon arrive in the capital of the Southern Zhao Kingdom. The emperor, of course, knew that Gu Liuli was a princess of the Western Jing Kingdom.
However, the emperor did not feel much worry about this matter.
Since Gu Liuli married into the Nanzhao Kingdom, she has always been dutiful and obedient to her husband. Moreover, she has repeatedly assisted the court in solving problems with her outstanding wisdom and extraordinary abilities, which has earned her the emperor's appreciation and trust.
Upon hearing this news, the ministers below the court were all filled with alarm and looked at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, the entire court fell into silence, with only the faint sound of breathing clearly audible.
Finally, an elderly minister with white hair and a wrinkled face stepped forward shakily, slowly straightened up, bowed to the emperor, and said with deep concern, "Your Majesty! The sudden dispatch of an envoy from Xijing Kingdom is likely hiding something. Although our two countries have maintained a superficial peace for a long time, small-scale frictions and conflicts have occurred from time to time along the long border. The arrival of this envoy so abruptly is truly unsettling! I implore Your Majesty to be extra vigilant in this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly younger official, but equally anxious, quickly chimed in, "That's exactly right, Your Majesty! What is the purpose of this envoy from Xijing Kingdom? Their true intentions are difficult to fathom. Moreover, we are completely unprepared. If they do make some unreasonable demands, how will we properly respond?" With these two ministers speaking in succession, the court erupted into a lively uproar. Many officials whispered among themselves, their faces filled with deep doubt and profound worry.
Xiao Han sat on the dragon throne, his expression unchanged, showing no concern whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Yan Dongdong, Su Yao, Jia Xiaoyan, and Bai Jing, the forging master from the Ministry of War, all gathered together at the Crown Prince's residence.
"Your Highness, I love your cooking the most. It's alright, nothing else will do for me right now!" Bai said as he ate.
Gu Liuli smiled, pursing her lips: "Haha, I didn't make this, Xiaoyan did!"
Just then, Gu Liuli's system suddenly emitted a crisp notification sound: "Ding! Host, I have sensed the aura of a similar being approaching. In my opinion, your close friend may also possess a magical object similar to a system or a space!" Upon hearing this news, Gu Liuli's heart stirred, and her gaze was fixed on Jia Xiaoyan.
At this moment, Jia Xiaoyan was looking at her best friend with a puzzled expression. Seeing that her friend was staring straight at her without blinking, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
While everyone was still busy skewering meat, Gu Liuli lowered her voice and cautiously asked Jia Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, speaking of your bizarre time-travel journey, did you gain any particularly powerful cheat codes? Like those super abilities that can help you easily overcome all kinds of difficulties and help you soar to the sky?"
After hearing this, Jia Xiaoyan sighed helplessly, shook her head gently, and said, "Oh dear, don't even mention it! From the very beginning, I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of an incredibly powerful cheat system, but I've been waiting and waiting, and it still hasn't appeared!" As she said this, a hint of disappointment and frustration showed in Jia Xiaoyan's eyes.
Could it be…? Gu Liuli nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Jia Xiaoyan's guess. Seeing her best friend's reaction, Jia Xiaoyan was so surprised that she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she might accidentally cry out.
After the group finished their meal and returned home, Jia Xiaoyan was still upset, so much so that she had no appetite whatsoever. After briefly saying goodbye to her parents, she hurriedly went back to her room and collapsed onto her bed.
However, just as she lay in bed lost in thought, a stuttering voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Ding! Magnetic! Magnetic! Internship system...bound...to...system! 08 system!"
Jia Xiaoyan sat up abruptly, instantly realizing that this was very likely the golden finger she had been waiting for!
