Chapter 49

Even though the man had made amends as quickly as possible, they still saw the silvery tail fin.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Xiaoxiao didn't let Bai Xiuyu have too much contact with that person.

"That person should have entered the palace to meet the emperor, and the rumors about the mermaid demon should have progressed." Zhuge guessed with a smile.

"If we knew King Yue was so busy, we might as well spend a few more days in Loulan." Bai Xiuyu sighed, "Also, smile, were you worried about me before, so you told me to be 'careful'?"

Zhuge looked at him with a half-smile, it was her mistake!

At noon the next day, Bai Xiuyu received a summons from the palace, and the group headed for the Yue Palace.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao and the others are not bumpkins, not as rare as Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden. Although compared with the outside world, the palace is the most important and magnificent place in a country, but to Zhuge Xiaoxiao, it is just a place to live and discuss affairs .

The vermilion palace walls, yellow glazed tiles, white jade pavement in front of the main hall, and golden pillars supporting the hall, are majestic and solemn, but inevitably have a touch of luxury.

King Yue received Bai Xiuyu and his party in the main hall, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were present.

"See His Majesty the King of Yue." Bai Xiuyu saluted in the way of the Xixia Kingdom, and Zhuge Xiaoxiao and others followed his example.

The king of Yue sat on a gilded spacious dragon chair, wearing a black dragon robe with a gold frame and a crown on his head. Coupled with his heroic spirit, he looked like a son of heaven.

A group of ministers in the hall remained calm, and the surrounding atmosphere was also very indifferent.

"The Ninth Prince is free!" King Yue's voice was very majestic, with the temperament of an emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Xiuyu straightened up.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao then raised his head and saw the young man sitting on the dragon chair.

The man on the dragon chair was only about 30 years old, and his appearance could be described as handsome, but his handsomeness was overshadowed by his flamboyant aura, and it was more appropriate to describe him as majestic and arrogant.

The unsmiling emperor, the cruel emperor...

Zhuge smiled and calmly withdrew his thoughts after just taking a look. This man was just like the rumors, cold and stern, and the evil spirit in his brows could not be blocked even with crowns.

"What's the important thing for the Ninth Prince to come here this time?" King Yue asked coldly, not as enthusiastic as ordinary people are when they are hospitable.

When Bai Xiuyu met the waiters of the Yue Kingdom, he had already recovered his demeanor of a dignified prince, and when he was asked at this time, he also had a majestic aura, no worse than the superior King of Yue.

However, what King Yue said made Bai Xiuyu quietly snort.

"Before one month, can your Majesty receive the letter from His Majesty Xixia Kingdom?" Bai Xiuyu asked neither humble nor overbearing.

King Yue turned his head slightly when he heard the words, and asked the eunuch beside him, "Has the Emperor Xixia been here to revise the book?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch bowed, then stepped forward and whispered a few words to King Yue.

Bai Xiuyu raised his chin, and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the man above him.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao knew it in his heart, but he didn't expect that the resourceful King Yue would not give him face in front of Bai Xiuyu!

"I have been busy with state affairs recently, but I have neglected the Emperor Xixia's revision of the book." Yue Wang said insincerely, and quickly introduced the main topic: "I have neglected the Emperor's revision of the book, and I have not had time to prepare the heavenly stone that the prince wants to rub. I am rude. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Bai Xiuyu raised his eyebrows and said, "What if Tianshi isn't in the palace?"

"Indeed." King Yue replied.

"Then..." Bai Xiuyu made things difficult.

"You don't have to worry about it, you can just wait for the widow to fetch it." King Yue threw down a step, "It's just that the prince has been wronged to live in the hotel these days!"

"Then thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Xiuyu thanked him insincerely.

A group of ministers were silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was very heavy.

Just when King Yue was feeling cold, the old eunuch who had received the report from the young eunuch whispered a few words in his ear.

King Yue's eyes turned cold again: "Xuan Fangjin!"

"Xuan, now I'm going to the palace—"

This kind of important domestic event should not be received when receiving foreign envoys, but Bai Xiuyu didn't show any superfluous expressions, waiting to watch the show.

Fang Jin soon appeared in everyone's sight, his face was a little pale, with obvious nervousness.When he saw Bai Xiuyu and Zhuge smiling after going up to the hall, he was slightly taken aback, then knelt down to salute.

"My minister kowtows to see His Majesty." Fang Jin kowtowed on one knee.

"Flat body."

"Your Majesty, the mermaid demon is causing trouble again, and all the guards sent to hunt this time have been killed." Fang Jin said in panic.

"What?" King Yue was startled, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, the slapping sound made a loud noise.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..." Fang Jin said again, but hesitated.

"Say!"

Fang Jin's body trembled, and he said: "Xiliu Island... due to the mermaid demon, it is gradually submerged by sea water. In less than a month, I'm afraid it will..."

As soon as he said this, the faces of the officials immediately changed, and they all whispered to each other.

Bai Xiuyu and the others looked at the ministers around them. Almost all of them had expressions of horror on their faces. They were like outsiders watching this farce.

The last old courtier standing in the front stood up, holding the jade gui in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this has disturbed the Mermaid Immortal, and it will cause a catastrophe!"

"I implore the emperor to withdraw his order and prevent the Shen family from offending the Great Immortal!"

"Please take back your order and stop the Shen family..."

"..."

At the back, almost all the ministers knelt down, and King Yue's face was not very good-looking, but it could be seen that he was holding back and did not explode.

"At this time, we will discuss it at the court tomorrow. You should retreat first!" King Yue looked at the important ministers all over the floor, and felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the prince of a foreign country to see him, so he waved them to retreat.

The officials probably also realized the impact of this move in the eyes of outsiders, and they all retreated.

In the end, only Bai Xiuyu and his party, King Yue, Fang Jin and the accompanying eunuchs were left in the court hall.
