“Minister Xu’s dedication and concern for the welfare of the nation are evident. Your Majesty has certainly made a wise choice,” remarked Zhang Cailiang. As the Left Prime Minister, he sought not to directly affront Xu Yuanlong, at least not at this moment. Observing Xu Yuanlong’s cooperative stance brought him considerable relief.
“Minister Xu truly upholds justice. He understands the gravity of the situation. I can a.s.sure you that, should Xu Xunnan and Jinwei Land eventually find her untenable, I will take it upon myself to recompense your Xu family for her actions.”
“Now, let us address the immediate issue.”
“The task of extending the invitation to Xu Xunnan will fall under Minister w.a.n.g’s jurisdiction, with Ministers Zhang and Xu primarily responsible for negotiations with Xu Xunnan,” decreed the Emperor of Jinwei Land.
In overseeing these affairs, the Emperor of Jinwei Land remained meticulous, ensuring each minister’s role matched their strengths.
The current arrangement proved apt, a testament to his extensive experience as an emperor.
Everything was proceeding as planned.
The Emperor of Jinwei Land exhaled a sigh of relief.
Several days had transpired, leaving him somewhat hoa.r.s.e.
Fortunately, he possessed capable individuals who could execute their duties adeptly, forestalling any true calamity.
During this period, the Emperor of Jinwei Land took some time to rest, while w.a.n.g Yuankui had already arrived at the paG.o.da.
He brought along a sizeable entourage.
They strode forward resolutely, their determination palpable.
Within the paG.o.da, word quickly reached Xu Xunnan’s ears as the people reported to Dao Seeking.
“Is the Imperial Court planning to take action against us?” someone asked Dao Seeking.
“No, they are not permitted to enter the paG.o.da. Even if they intend to take action, it will be fruitless on the outside. If I am not mistaken, the King of Jinwei Land wishes to meet me. It has been several days, and if he doesn’t meet me, Jinwei Land may descend into chaos,” remarked Gu Chaoyan.
“So, what should we do?”
“Just wait here. I will handle everything for you. With individuals who possess the ability to cultivate, you won’t face mistreatment even if you advance your cultivation in front of men in the future.’
“As long as we finalize this arrangement, you can return to the paG.o.da, resuming your previous way of life, but with added dignity and status,” a.s.sured
Gu Chaoyan.
“Okay!”
Gu Chaoyan offered a rea.s.suring smile.
He accompanied the nanny as they exited the paG.o.da.
Beyond the paG.o.da, the prince, king, and monarch, Yuan Kui, spotted her and temporarily set aside his usual pride. His tone was laced with politeness as he addressed her, “Lady Xu, the emperor wishes to meet with you. Please follow me to the palace.”
The Left Prime Minister had advised him to adopt a more courteous demeanor upon arrival, fostering an atmosphere of greater tolerance. In the end, this would facilitate the resolution of their differences.
w.a.n.g Yuankui was eager to avoid any complications in the matter. Regardless of their personal reluctance, they behaved with decorum now.
Gu Chaoyan remained indifferent to these niceties.
She recognized the necessity of visiting the palace to negotiate with Emperor of Jinwei.
Given that the other party had taken the initiative to invite her, there was no harm in making the trip. As for the att.i.tude of the emissary, she remained unfazed.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. “If the Emperor of Jinwei Land wishes to meet with me, I shall go.”
Having uttered these words…
She turned her gaze toward the people accompanying her, her eyes resting on the nanny. “Nanny, come with me.”
The nanny nodded.
Miss Lin expressed some concern. “Should we bring additional individuals? After all, the palace is quite a distance away..”
