Chapter 236: Words Like Knives Su Jixue
Su Jixue came to the Golden Palace of Dongchu.
Purple is the most respected color in Dongchu, but the Golden Palace is still magnificent.
Outside the Golden Palace, the people of Nanqing were protecting Zongkui, looking completely out of place with Dongchu.
Su Jixue glanced coldly at Nan Su, who was in the lead, then walked up the stairs in front of him and entered the Golden Throne Hall.
At this moment, she finally stepped onto the political arena of Dongchu for the first time.
The long high steps seemed to be set up for Su Jixue. When she stepped up step by step in a red dress, she looked back coldly at the moment of reaching the top and saw Zong Kui lying on the ground in the crowd. She couldn't help but curl her lips coldly.
He looked like he had actually fainted.
However, Su Jixue's poison could not cause anyone to faint, it would only make him suffer more.
So Zong Kui must be pretending.
But pretending to be unconscious was of no use to Su Jixue.
Eunuch Feng led Su Jixue all the way into the Golden Palace. At this moment, Bei Su was making an impassioned speech: "I believe Dong Chu has seen the sincerity of my Nan Qing, but what about Dong Chu's sincerity?!"
"Now that the maid has been released, why hasn't the antidote been delivered yet?"
Bei Su looked aggressive.
At this moment, when Su Jixue stepped into the Golden Palace, the cold wind from outside seemed to blow in as well, and Beisu felt a chill on his back.
"Your Majesty, Miss Su is here to see you!" Eunuch Feng said in a loud voice.
All eyes immediately turned to Su Jixue.
A bright and beautiful woman in a fiery red dress walked into the candlelit Golden Palace in the darkness of the night.
And Su Jixue didn't look like this was her first time in such a place. She had a natural dignity when she appeared, as if this Golden Palace where hundreds of officials gathered was just an ordinary place.
The girl's straight back and slightly raised chin made her look a little arrogant, and her sparkling peach blossom eyes were even colder and more indifferent.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have seen a female version of the King of War.
No wonder!
This thought arose in everyone's mind. She looked like a perfect match for the War King.
Jealous eyes have turned to Su Jian. He is really good at giving birth, how could he give birth to such a daughter.
Let’s not talk about his abilities for now, just his demeanor is unique in the whole capital.
"Your humble servant Su Jixue greets His Majesty." Under the gaze of everyone, Su Jixue bowed to the emperor neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Emperor Ming was slightly startled.
In fact, you should kneel down when you meet the emperor for the first time.
But Su Jixue just bowed. Now was not the time to worry about such things. Before Emperor Ming even uttered the words "Stand Up", Su Jixue had already straightened up and turned to look at Bei Su with disdain: "This must be the envoy from Nanqing, right?!"
Su Jixue's eyes were filled with sarcasm and disdain. Beisu, her biggest enemy in Nanqing, now met her again.
"Miss Su, you seem to be being impolite!" Bei Su was a man of his word in Nanqing. Even after coming to Dongchu, his disdain for Dongchu had already been revealed from the bottom of his heart. So when he saw Su Jixue speaking like this, he directly sneered at her.
"That's because Nanqing dog is more impolite!" Su Jixue's lips curled coldly with disdain, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Beisu was even more disdainful.
"How dare you scold us?!"
"You, Dongchu, are going too far!"
……
At this moment, Beisu had not spoken yet, and the two generals Heng and Ha behind Beisu could not help but get furious.
The officials of Dongchu were also in an uproar.
Nanqing has already offered generous conditions just now. Now that Su Jixue is talking like this, if she really annoys the Nanqing envoy, a fight might really break out.
"Prime Minister Su, you should also teach your daughter a lesson and let her know that the court is not a place to talk nonsense!" Su Jian's political enemies couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"Yeah, how could a girl actually confront a foreign delegation directly?"
……
When Su Jixue heard what the Nanqing people said behind Beisu, the sneer on her face deepened: "I, Dongchu, am going too far?!"
"Have we, Dong Chu, ever deployed our troops on the border of Nanqing, intending to invade Nanqing?!"
"Have we, Dong Chu, ever colluded with the Nanqing court to poison and kill 120,000 of Nanqing's most steadfast men?!"
"Have I, the King of War of Dongchu, ever sneaked into Nanqing in disguise and hidden in Nanqing's harem?!"
"What you guys at Nanqing did is what humans do?!"
"If you don't do it now, you're just asking for trouble!"
Su Jixue spoke coldly, and each word hit Beisu in the face, making the two generals behind him turn red and white.
"Miss Su, our delegation has expressed its intention to pay compensation!" Bei Su said with a gloomy face.
"Compensation?!" Su Jixue raised her eyebrows: "Then show me the compensation letter!"
If they really wanted to compensate, they would not just say it, but would have written it down, or prepared the document long ago, instead of doing it like this now.
The rulers and ministers of Dongchu were too naive. Beisu did more than one thing that was just empty talk.
They actually believed Bei Su's words? !
Bei Su's expression froze: "We just reached a consensus verbally."
"Oral?!" Su Jixue seemed to have heard a huge joke: "Master Beisu, are you teasing me, a young lady from a wealthy family, who has no experience?!"
Su Jixue was talking about herself, but it seemed like she was scolding everyone in the court.
"If a foreign delegation wanted to pay compensation, they should have prepared gifts and presented documents long ago. That's what sincerity is!"
"Even without these, a diplomatic delegation visiting another country would at least follow the normal procedures. They wouldn't have to bring people to the palace to see the emperor, right?!"
"If that's the case, then the six kingdoms wouldn't need to have Honglu Temple! Tomorrow, I'll grab a staff and rush directly to Nanqing to see what His Majesty looks like!"
Su Jixue's voice was cold and hit the nail on the head.
At this time, the king and ministers of Dongchu, who had not reacted due to the urgency of the situation, suddenly realized that something was wrong, but they did not find out what was wrong.
The official who had just ridiculed Su Jian suddenly shrank aside, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
"Miss Su!" Bei Su's voice suddenly became louder and his tone was unfriendly.
"What? You want to threaten me? Or do you want to hold me hostage?" Su Jixue took a step forward and stood directly in front of Beisu: "You're embarrassed if you tell the truth, right? Beisu, it seems that your skills in cultivating your Qi are not up to par yet!"
"Miss Su, you..." Eunuch Feng couldn't help but want to stop Su Jixue, but he couldn't finish the accusation.
"Eunuch Feng, what's wrong? As someone close to the emperor, you wouldn't be thinking of speaking for Nan Qing, right?!" Su Jixue directly directed her criticism at Eunuch Feng without giving him any face.
"Miss Su, please don't talk nonsense!" Eunuch Feng was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. He really shouldn't have invited Miss Su over.
"Nonsense? Then tell me, which of my words about Nan Qing were nonsense?!" Su Jixue was not prepared to be offended at all: "Or, Eunuch Feng, are you also in cahoots with Nan Qing?"
Su Jixue's words are like knives, and every word is deadly.
