A long staircase led to the Taiji Palace in the state of Xia. It was like the Jinluan Hall in the state of Ning, a place where the courtiers and foreign envoys came to meet the emperor. It had been more than three months in the state of Xia, and it was Yun Shang's first time to step into the Taiji Palace.
The Taiji Palace was paved with marble, which was extremely bright. The path paved with jade was carefully carved from the gate to the chairs with lifelike dragons and phoenixes carved in the middle. On the top of the Taiji Palace stood a big eight diagrams picture.
Yun Shang lowered her head and followed Wang Jinhuan, walking on the jade. Of course the ragon couldn't be stepped on casually. When they came to the end of the dragon body, Wang Jinhuan knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am Wang Jinhuan, envoy of the State of Ning..."
"I am Xiao Yun." Yun Shang lowered her head and said in a deep voice. It was lucky that Liu Yinfeng wasn't here. Otherwise, he would have noticed her by the name. She just didn't know what a proper name was for the moment. So she just used her previous fake name.
"I am Su Shang." "I am Wu Meng." "I am Zhao Wenrui."
"Your Majesty." After everyone identified themselves, the five people said in one voice and bowed to Xia Huanyu.
"Get up, envoys." The voice of Xia Huanyu came, with the royal demeanor, but also indifferent, without any emotion. "Give the five envoys a seat to sit."
The servants moved the chairs in the hall. Yun Shang and Wang Jinhuan took their seats together. Then they raised their eyes to look at the two divided courtiers. Yun Shang glanced at them, which made them feel uneasy.
That was what we wanted, Yun Shang thought to herself.
"What
erful brigands they were that they were even able to defeat the secret guards of an emperor. If the brigands of the state of Xia are all so powerful, why couldn't they rule the world? " Wang Jinhuan had always been fearless. He was used to acting tyrannically in the state of Ning. He was not afraid of Xia Huanyu at all. What he said was simply unbearable.
Yun Shang smiled in her heart, but Wang Jinhuan spoke again. "Moreover, I heard that the day before the funeral of Princess Hui Guo was messed up and the coffin was overturned. What was even more amazing was that there was no body in the coffin. Excuse me, your majesty. Is the state of Xia so messy that even a funeral would be messed up by random people? More importantly, the princess is dead. But I heard that the dead body was sent to the Jin City as your majesty had it checked. Why is there only empty coffin at the funeral? Where is the corpse the princess? Princess Yun Shang's death was already very grieving and hateful, and now her dead body was even gone. I have sent a message to his majesty already to tell him what happened. How will your majesty deal with this matter? "
