Chapter 221 How come it doesn’t matter!
"What do you mean, General?"
Hu Yanzhen couldn't hold back his anger and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"Don't you know, Your Majesty?"
Being questioned like this in person, Ji Yao's face darkened.
"presumptuous!"
"How could you be so rude to His Majesty!"
Seeing this, the Right Supervisor Xuanfu coldly rebuked Hu Yanzhen.
Hu Yanzhen was not afraid at all and glared at the female official with disdain.
"I am speaking, so why should a mere servant like you interrupt me?"
Xuan Fu's face turned red with anger: "You!"
"All right."
Seeing that Hu Yanzhen seemed to want to speak again impulsively, Yili on the side raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her lightly.
The restraining intent in his eyes was obvious, which made Hu Yanzhen somewhat dissatisfied, but thinking of the king's order, he had to obey Yili.
Seeing that Hu Yanzhen did not argue with her, Yili was slightly surprised but did not say anything.
After all, the two of them hold different official positions. Although there are many frictions in the court, Hu Yanzhen still knows how to handle major issues.
Yili pursed her lips, her face as pale as water, and turned to look at Ji Yao, who looked a little unhappy on the dragon throne. She raised her hand and bowed, smiling appropriately.
"Your Majesty, the general was thinking about our country's missing princess, and he spoke his mind and was a little impulsive. I hope Your Majesty will not blame him."
Before Ji Yao could speak, Xuan Fu beside her spoke.
"What does the disappearance of the princess have to do with your majesty?"
"The general questioned Your Majesty for no reason. Do you take Your Majesty seriously?"
Ji Yao frowned slightly. Although she was dissatisfied, she kept a stern face and did not speak.
Hu Yanzhen glared with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "Why is it okay?!"
"It was your people who caused the disappearance of our princess!"
"you!"
Xuan Fu's eyes widened slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You even slandered His Majesty, be careful or you will be punished!" Ji Yao glanced at Xuan Fu with cold eyes, and saw that the anger and anxiety on Hu Yanzhen's face did not seem fake.
His eyes fell on Wei Ming who was standing beside him, and he asked in a deep, questioning voice.
"Wei Qing, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Wei Mingwei raised his head, looking hesitant, not knowing what to say.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke respectfully and explained in detail.
"Your Majesty, the princess of Zangrong is indeed missing. Half a month ago..."
Half a month ago, the diplomatic envoys arrived at the Qingyang Posthouse not far from Kyoto as scheduled. Princess Ashina could no longer hold back her temper and wanted to leave the diplomatic envoys behind and go to Kyoto ahead of time.
The general and Yi Xiang were unable to stop him, so they made an appointment with Princess Ashina to meet outside the imperial city.
However, when the appointed time came, there was no sign of Princess Ashina. They camped outside the city for two days and sent people to look for her, but there was no trace of her.
At this time, the delegation panicked.
At this time, Wei Ming and others came to welcome the delegation, so they told her about this.
Only then did Wei Ming realize that something big had happened!
He immediately sent troops to look for the people, and then brought the delegation to Beijing and arranged for them to stay in an inn.
There was no news from the capital for three or four days, and everyone's heart sank further and further.
The general was even more anxious and furious. With his bad temper, he beat and killed countless servants.
Just when Wei Ming was about to report the matter to the empress, news came about the missing princess.
She heard people talking about it when she was accompanying the general to look for someone and they passed by a teahouse.
Hearing those people discussing the assassination of the princess, Wei Ming became slightly angry. He felt that it was inappropriate to discuss the crown prince without authorization, and was about to rebuke them.
But when he heard those people suddenly talking about the romantic affair between the princess and several women in exotic clothes who spent huge sums of money to compete for the title of the most beautiful courtesan, he was stunned at first, and then confused.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Before she could react, the general Hu Yanzhen beside her strode over, grabbed one of the men by the collar, and anxiously and ferociously asked about the whereabouts of the princess.
Finally I learned the truth!
