Chapter 2187
"What happened in the palace? Eunuch Cui is in such a hurry?" Zhu Yan asked the old eunuch.
Eunuch Cui gasped and said, "I don't know what is the matter. After the emperor received the letter of credence from Beiming Kingdom, he sent this old slave to come to the palace immediately. Please enter the palace."
Xia Yuanqiu couldn't help thinking: "Think with your toes, you know it's about Princess Mochou!"
Shenjun raised his eyebrows: "What? She still has Zhu Yan's idea?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "I'm afraid it won't be so easy to give up!"
Shenjun glared at Zhu Yan angrily: "It's okay to give birth to such a good skin, attracting bees and attracting butterflies all day long, if you dare to make my daughter sad, I will never forgive you!"
Zhu Yan had a bitter expression on his face, when did he attract the attention of others? It's these bees and butterflies who are restless themselves! Knowing that he has a wife, but still clinging to him, what can he do? The other party is the princess of another country, if she is killed rashly, the flames of war will be set off again!
Yuan Qiu said: "He will handle this matter himself, so don't worry about it."
Jun Yunxiang squinted at Shenjun, and couldn't help tearing down the stage: "You know how to teach others, isn't the same person from the past always attracting bees and butterflies?"
Shenjun coughed dryly, bumped into Lord Yunxiang with his body, and said in a low voice: "How many years have passed, why are you always talking about it?"
Mr. Xia beat the ground with his crutches, and said loudly: "Okay, let them solve the children's affairs by themselves, let's break up first, and continue to discuss when he is free!"
The old man Xia had already spoken, so the divine monarch naturally didn't dare to object, and hurriedly took his wife with one hand and the old father with the other, and left the hall.
Xia Yuanqiu said to Zhu Yan, "I'll go with you!"
Zhu Yan originally wanted to keep her in the mansion to rest, but he thought that this matter was of great importance, and he also needed to listen to Yuan Qiu's advice, so he nodded: "Okay, let's enter the palace immediately."

Hall of Parliament
Zhu Sheng was sitting behind the desk in a daze, when he heard the voice of the palace man, he hurriedly raised his head, and saw his sixth younger brother walking in quickly, leading Xia Yuanqiu.
He got up quickly, ignoring the royal etiquette, and without waiting for Zhu Yan to salute, he handed the credential sent by Beiming to Zhu Yan's hand: "This is the credential just sent by Beiming Kingdom, take a look!"
Zhu Yan led Xia Yuanqiu to sit down in a chair beside him, unfolded the sheepskin letter of state, and watched the two of them frown. Sure enough, Beiming Kingdom proposed a marriage in the letter of credence, and proposed a marriage agreement with the five border states. The city and the 300-mile territory were used as dowry, and she was required to marry Prince Jing as his concubine.
Everyone knew that Prince Jing already had a concubine, but in Xiliang, there was no rule of having two side concubines. This move was undoubtedly to force Prince Jing to abolish his concubine.
The most vicious thing is that they stated in the letter of credence that if they refused to make peace, they did not intend to make friends with Beiming, and Beiming would send troops again to protect the interests of their own country.
This is clearly a forced marriage, with the interests of the family and the safety of the people at stake.
Zhu Sheng said: "The most hateful thing is that they actually copied this letter of credence to no less than ten thousand copies, and posted it in the streets and alleys of my country, so that the people of the whole country know the existence of this letter of credence. Blame us for disregarding the safety and well-being of the people."
Xia Yuanqiu thought of Princess Mochou's face, which was shrewd, glamorous, and cruel. This was indeed a solution she could think of, fast enough, accurate enough, and ruthless enough!
Zhu Sheng looked at Zhu Yan who was frowning and said nothing, "Sixth Brother, what do you think we should do?"
