The Second Life of Hu Liena

121. The Qian royal envoy.

The Emperor raised his hand to stop the conversation. He then stood up and spoke out loudly, which was addressed to Prime Minister Hu Boqin.

"I, THE EMPEROR OF THE YING DYNASTY KINGDOM, LI JINHAI! GIVING ONE HUNDRED PIECES OF GOLD BULLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PIECES OF GOLD COINS, AND FIVE HUNDRED PIECES OF SILVER COINS TO PRIME MINISTER HU BOQIN, FOR HIS DAUGHTER'S CONTRIBUTION TO CAPTURING THE REBELS!"

The officials present there were envious of the reward their Prime Minister received. But they felt self-conscious, the Emperor gave the gold as a gift because the Princess of the Prime Minister, had done a great service to the kingdom. Their Daughters, however, did nothing for the kingdom.

"Thank you, for the kindness and generosity of His Majesty the Emperor!" Hu Boqin knelt in return for the reward the Emperor gave him.

"No need to be confused, Prime Minister. Instead I feel, if my gift is still lacking to repay all the services that your daughter has given to the kingdom." said the Emperor chimed in a speech from his Prime Minister.

"Sorry, Emperor! There's an envoy from the Qian kingdom outside, and he wants to meet you!" one of the Emperor's guards came to give a report.

"Let him in!" the Emperor's orders were firm.

He had wanted to announce his son's wedding to Hu Liena. However his intentions had to be delayed, as there were envoys coming from the Qian kingdom.

"Hamba Covered, facing His Majesty Emperor Ying!" said the Qian royal envoy while kneeling before Emperor Li Jinhai.

"Get up, and say, what Emperor Qian has commanded you!" the Emperor said firmly.

The envoy stood up, but still lowered his head as he still felt disdain for Emperor Li Jinhai.

"Hamba was sent to apologize, for the actions of Her Highness Princess Song Qian. The Emperor promised, will not interfere in the matter of determining the punishment for him."

Emperor Li Jinhai was satisfied, with the decision that Emperor Qian had taken. It should be so the soul of a leader, he should not be indiscriminate in upholding the law and justice.

"Is that all?" asked Emperor Li Jinhai who was nodding his head back by the envoy of Emperor Qian.

"Alright, I also express my gratitude to the Emperor of the Qian kingdom, for setting us free to uphold justice. Princess Song not only wants to overthrow the Ying kingdom, she also even intends to subvert Emperor Qian." Emperor Li Jinhai said full of authority.

"Dad, Princess Xia wants to convey something to the Qian royal envoy." Li Junjie interrupted the father's words because there was something Hu Liena had to convey to the person from the neighboring kingdom.

"Sure, you can do it, Princess. Please!"

Hu Liena took a few steps forward, so that she was now clearly visible to everyone due to being in the middle of the room.

Many praised Hu Liena's beauty and elegance, which is known as Princess Xia now.

"Before, I wanted to pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor first" Hu Liena said as she bowed respectfully before the Emperor. "Furthermore, I would also like to thank you for giving my Father, the Prime Minister, a great gift, and also for his praise."

Emperor Li Jinhai nodded in satisfaction with the words that came out of Hu Liena's mouth.

"And most importantly, I want to pass on important news to the Qian Empire's Emperor."

"What is it, Princess?" asked Emperor Li Jinhai in surprise.

"It's about Crown Prince Qian's kingdom, Your Majesty!" said Hu Liena to make the envoy feel curious.

"What do you mean, Princess? Can you tell me right away, to me?"

"Please! Don't act disrespectful!" The Palace Eunuch tried to reprimand the Qian royal envoy who dared to ask questions before the Emperor.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!" the messenger regretted his actions which could not help his patience.

Emperor Li Jinhai did not overly comment on what the envoy was doing, according to the Emperor it was only natural that Princess Xia had indirectly offended the matter of the long-lost Crown Prince, and not knowing his whereabouts now.

In the past, Emperor Qian considered, Prince Yu Zemin as his Son, and would enthrone him as the Crown Prince in a few months.

But after finding out, if Yu Zemin was the fake Son, the Emperor changed his mind, and spread the bodyguards all over the place in search of the true Crown Prince.

Because it is reported, the original son of Emperor Qian is still alive, and all this time in the brackets of his own sister, Princess Song Qian.

But until now, the existence of Crown Prince Qian kingdom, has not been found.

"I know, where Crown Prince Qian's kingdom is. And if Emperor Qian pleases, he can come directly to check it out for himself. Is he the real Crown Prince? Or isn't?"

Hu Liena's words suddenly made everyone feel shocked, except for Li Junjie.

He already knew who Hu Liena was referring to. Therefore, Li Junjie was just acting normally to respond to him.

"Daughter! Are you serious? Do you really know where the Crown Prince is now?" ask the messenger with teary eyes.

"Do I look like I'm lying? Even in the presence of the Emperor?" Hu Liena asked back to make the envoy feel embarrassed.

"If allowed, I want to bring the Crown Prince home now" said the envoy excitedly.

Hu Liena shook her head, "Sorry, can't! If the Emperor wants to see his Son, then he alone must come to recognize him." Hu Liena refused firmly.

The envoy was shocked by Hu Liena's words. How could the number one person in his Country come to another kingdom at this time?

Emperor Qian's condition was not good, in recent years he was often sickly.

And now, a girl told him to come? no way! The emperor cannot come!

"Hows it? Have you heard everything clearly?" hu Liena asked loudly.

"Already, Princess! But ...," the messenger seemed to think hard about his words.

"But what?" Hu Liena felt astonished because from earlier the envoy was like hiding something from everyone.

"Excuse me servant, I can't say it." replied the messenger while bowing his head.

Emperor Li Jinhai felt that something was wrong with the neighboring royal envoy.by the arena, Emperor Li Jinhai immediately made a sound, and ordered the envoy to tell the truth.

If he refused, the Emperor would not allow him to escape his palace.

It could also be, if in fact this messenger is an enemy in disguise.

After thinking for a long time, the messenger finally agreed to tell the truth.

"Hamba is indeed Emperor Qian's envoy, Your Majesty. At this time our Emperor's condition is very concerning, he has begun to be weak, even to eat alone must be helped by the maids."

"How is possible! The person I sent yesterday said, if Emperor Qian is okay. Even he was well received by the Emperor, and Princess Jia Li" said the Emperor as if he did not believe the messenger's words.

"Oh, Your Majesty! I dare not lie, I tell you the truth." the messenger replied to the Emperor.
