Chapter 500 The Meeting With The Emperor (Part One)
A long staircase led to the Taiji Pce in the state of Xia. It was like the Jinluan Hall in the state of
Ning, a ce 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 Pce.
The Taiji Pce 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 Pce 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 nced at them, which
made them feel uneasy.
That was what we wanted, Yun Shang thought to herself.
"What can I do for you? I don''t know why you are here." Xia Huanyu nced around the five persons in
the hall and paused at Wang Jinhuan. Then he looked at Yun Shang. Yun Shang kept silent, lowering
her eyes.
Wang Jinhuan finally opened his mouth to speak, "it will be the birthday of the emperor in the state of
Ning in a few days. Both the emperor and Lady Jin miss Princess Yun Shang, so they specially let me
be the emissary to the state of Xia to visit Princess Yun Shang. In the past, whenever it was the
emperor''s birthday, Princess Yun Shang would give a special and interesting birthday present to his
majesty. However, on my way here, I heard rumors about Princess Yun Shang that she was killed. I
want to ask your majesty, what the hell has happened... "
Xia Huanyu frowned at his words. After a long while, he said, "a few days ago, Lady Rui went to the
Han Yun Temple to pray, and she met the brigands on the way. Unfortunately, she was killed by them."
Brigands. Coldness shed through Yun Shang''s eyes at this word. The emperor was good at finding
excuses for himself.
Wang Jinhuan also sneered in a cold way, "really? Brigands? When Princess Yun Shang was in the
state of Ning, the emperor doted on Princess Yun Shang very much. He sent dozens of his secret
guards to her to protect her. But I didn''t know that the brigands of the state of Xia were so powerful that
they could even defeat the secret guards of an emperor. Can your majesty tell me who killed the
princess? I''d like to go and meet the brigands. "
Xia Huanyu didn''t expect that this feminine looking man from the state of Ning was so stubborn as to
retort his words in front of all the courtiers. Hearing that, Xia Huanyu squinted his eyes in annoy. An
expression of displeasure shed across his eyes. He stroked the jade ring on his thumb.
Yun Shang also found that when Xia Huanyu had be a bit sentimental and annoyed, he liked to
touch the jade ring on his finger. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Your majesty, Lord
Wang have always been outspoken. I hope your majesty won''t take offense by his words. But Princess
Hui Guo got in danger only in three months after she arrived in the state of Xia. If his majesty knows
this, he must be furious. We really don''t know how to exin this to his majesty. After all, Princess Hui
Guo is the emperor''s favorite princess... "
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu said coldly, "what a pity. Now Princess Hui Guo is the Lady Rui of the state of
Xia. Even I was outraged when I heard that she was killed, but since she''s already gone, no matter
how the emperor med me, I could never give the Lady Rui back to him. "
"I certainly know this is true. But Princess Yun Shang died in such an unexinable way that your
majesty want to send us away by telling us that she was killed by the brigands. I just want to know what

powerful 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?
