Two days later, the secret guards of the Princess Mansion caught Nanata's night killer in the dead of night.
When it comes to Nanata, Wen Yuan can only escort the killer to the palace for the emperor to decide.
Kata's mother, the concubine, did not expect that the killer she sent out would be so useless.
She didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until the killer knelt at the feet of the Desert King.
The Desert King looked at his woman in disbelief, as if asking her why she did this.
Wen Yuan on the other side naturally noticed his undisguised look, and stepped forward first and said: "Uncle Huang, I think this killer looks... quite like a desert person."
She squinted at the two people who were still whispering, "I don't know what the King of Desert explains, but he is no longer loyal to the Dragon Kingdom and wants to rebel?"
This was such a big hat that it almost made the Desert King unable to breathe.
But after being the king for so many years, he still has this kind of determination.
He coughed to relieve the tense atmosphere, pointed at the killer on the ground and said lightly, "This is clearly someone trying to instigate a relationship between Nanata and the Dragon Kingdom. What reason do we have to send a killer to the princess's mansion?"
If Wen Yuan hadn't just seen him and his beloved concubine biting each other's ears, Wen Yuan would have been convinced by his rhetoric.
But if the killer is out of the princess's house, this matter is no big deal.
As a close friend of King Dingnan, the King of Desert knew that this matter could not be settled, especially given Wen Yuan's vengeful character. If the killer appeared in her house, could she forgive him?
Surprisingly, Wen Yuan didn't say a word after hearing the sophistry of the Desert King this time, and he didn't look like he wanted to go into details.
This was a relief to the people of Nanata.
The emperor casually found an excuse to let it go, but Wen Yuan... was not that easy to deal with.
Although she didn't say anything in the palace, it didn't mean that she would let go of the beloved concubine of the Desert King.
The killer appeared in her house. No matter who he assassinated, it was always someone from the princess' house. She couldn't bear this.
It's really unforgivable to dare to do evil on her territory.
Wen Yuan sent a falcon to monitor the Desert King and his beloved concubine. After the two returned to their palace, the beloved concubine fell to her knees before the Desert King could speak.
"King..." Chong Ji did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the Desert King and buried her head on the ground.
Only when the man spoke did she dare to raise her head timidly, "Why did you do this? Do you know that your actions almost put Nanata in a desperate situation!"
The cowardly look of the beloved concubine who was timid for fear of being punished was touching, and her beautiful face stirred the heart of the Desert King.
He had no choice but to let go, "Get up." He walked to his beloved concubine and helped her up from the ground. "Fortunately, the emperor didn't go into details, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
Didn't the emperor look into it further?
That's because Wen Yuan didn't dig into it.
If Wen Yuan insists on demanding severe punishment from the emperor, the emperor will definitely comply with her wishes.
"Why did you say you sent people to the princess's house? Who do you want to kill?" The Desert King was puzzled. How did Wen Yuan provoke her?
The beloved concubine was not willing to confess honestly at first, swaying her body and saying coquettishly, "I don't think I want to kill anyone... I just sent people to inquire about the situation."
Unexpectedly, the King of Desert, who usually doted on her, didn't do this today, "Please explain it clearly to me!"
The woman was so frightened by his scolding that she shuddered and cried heartbreakingly, wiping her tears, "I am not here for Kata. He has always liked everything he has liked since he was a child. Isn't Wen Yuan already married? What about her?" If the man dies, won’t there be hope for us Kata?”
Stupid...
"Even if she is not married, how can she fall in love with people from our tribe? Her father is King Dingnan, and her family background is so glorious. How dare you..."
The beloved concubine is still not convinced, "Then our Kata is not good? She married Nanata, so she is also a prince and concubine!"
"We are nothing in the eyes of the people of the Dragon Kingdom." If the Dragon Kingdom really wanted to annex small border tribes like Nanata, it would be easier than trampling an ant to death.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting better, Hayabusa stopped talking about the killer and quietly retreated, leaving time for the two of them.
*
On her way back from the palace to the princess's mansion, Wen Yuan happened to pass by the famous Xiangcai Pavilion in the capital. Many people gathered around it, and she couldn't help but go up and take a look.
In the center of the crowd is Yuan Fei, the leader of Caixiang Pavilion.
At this time, she was wearing desert clothes. The bright red skirt is studded with gold ornaments, and the shisha gauze hangs lightly on the arms, barely covering the entire snow-white back. The pink lips were shining with a bright color, and Yuan Fei's whole body was shining under the sunlight.
The jingling sound of those gold ornaments clashing together, combined with the camel bell and drum music from the Western Regions, makes people feel like they are in the desert under the moon.
Her waist is as thin as a willow tree, and her muscles are as white as snow.
The soft and boneless figure danced vigorously in a dance that did not belong to the Dragon Kingdom.
The black hair moved with the wind, and at the end of the dance, a golden-winged butterfly landed on the head flower of the hairpin.
"Okay!" The men in the audience kept cheering, and some bold ones even threw the silver ingot at Yuan Fei's feet.
No one saw Yuan Fei's dissatisfaction and humiliation at this time, only Wen Yuan saw it.
She knew that although Yuan Fei was in a land of fireworks, he was the real person in Caixiang Pavilion who showed off his skills and not his body.
It is not an exaggeration to describe her as one who can charm the whole city with her dance. Many dancers in the palace sometimes come to ask her for advice.
To be able to make her dance in public and dress like this must have cost a lot of money.
Her tearful eyes were seen staring blankly at a man in the audience. The man was also applauding in the crowd, with a disdainful smile on his face.
"Miss, he looks like someone from the desert, but why haven't you seen him at the welcoming ceremony?" Chunhua whispered from the side.
But Wen Yuan's appearance quickly attracted the man's attention, regardless of Caixiang Pavilion's mother speaking in his ear.
Pushing aside the crowd blocking her, the man's tall body quickly appeared in front of Wen Yuan, "Xiao Wang is Qita, the third prince of Nanata. Miss, would you like to tell Xiao Wang his name?"
It turned out to be the son of the Desert King. Wen Yuan's original expression turned into a look of satisfaction in the man's eyes.
She invited Wen Yuan to drink together at Caixiang Pavilion, but she didn't understand why everyone around her stayed away from him.
"I don't know how to drink, but I'm curious about how much gold you spent to convince Yuan Fei to dance in the crowd." Wen Yuan's eyes signaled Chunhua to bring Yuan Fei into the Caixiang Pavilion, otherwise the men outside would quickly use Her eyes took off her skirt.
The third prince made a show of inviting Wen Yuan to come in with him, and Wen Yuan did not refuse. He held his head high and proudly asked the third prince to lead the way.
This also confirmed the third prince's suspicion that this was a young lady from the family, but what he didn't expect was that this young lady's identity was so strong.
Along the way, the third prince was bragging about how many cattle, sheep, gold and silver he had, but little did he know that Wen Yuan was not interested in these at all.
"So how much gold did you spend to convince Yuan Fei?" Wen Yuan asked, but she knew clearly that she must have convinced the old madam. Otherwise, how could Yuan Fei's stubborn and noble personality dance in public and let those men do it? Throw silver ingots under the stage.
The man said disapprovingly: "It's only five hundred gold. Xiao Wang heard that she is the top star in the capital, but he doesn't want it to be so cheap."
This happened to be heard by Yuan Fei who was coming downstairs. The woman ran back to her room aggrievedly and cried that she would not see any guests today.
"Oh?" A hint of cunning flashed in Wen Yuan's eyes, "Then how did the third prince have so much gold? As far as I know, Nanata's annual tribute is only three hundred gold."
Unexpectedly, the man avoided the topic and kept trying to make Wen Yuan drink.
The old madam who was personally waiting on the side hurriedly stopped him, "Master, this can't be done... This young lady belongs to our Dragon Kingdom..."
Before she finished speaking, Chunhua coughed immediately, and then the Madam looked at Wen Yuan intently.
Wen Yuan winked at her secretly, reminding her not to reveal her identity, and the Madam immediately understood and stopped talking.
"What from the Dragon Kingdom?" At this time, the man became interested, and Wen Yuan immediately took over his question, "I am a famous Jiu Mengzi from the Dragon Kingdom." After saying this, he started to pour the man wine.
The third prince was a little skeptical at first, but seeing the old madam laughing beside him and Wen Yuan pouring wine for him, he dispelled his doubts.
Chunhua was not happy, what the hell, she actually asked her princess to lower herself to serve him wine.
"Although we Nanata are a small tribe on the frontier, we don't lack these extraneous things at all. Otherwise, my father would not dare to call himself the King of the Desert."
"It seems that Nanata is very wealthy." Wen Yuan continued to talk.
The man drank happily, but he didn't realize that he was about to say the wrong thing, "Of course, we don't just trade cattle and sheep. We also have trade relations with Ke Khitan Li, spices and earth lizards, which other countries are vying for." Get something.”
Earth lizard?
Wen Yuan noticed something strange, so she pretended not to understand, "I heard that earth lizards are only for the Dragon Kingdom? How can they be used for trade?"
Hearing this, the man was startled at first, and then carefully looked into Wen Yuan's eyes like a probe. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she really just heard about it.
He returned to his proud look of knowing everything, "Where did you hear that although the earth lizards have high medicinal value, the yield is not low, especially since we, Nanata, have discovered a way to breed earth lizards. "
This is really great news for Wen Yuan. In the past, the dragon country had not enough lizards and had to rely on Nanata to provide them. Now that they have the method of raising soil lizards, how can they not teach them to the dragon country?
"Since you already have a large number of breeding methods, why do you only provide a small amount? Or are you trying to make a fortune from the lizards and get rid of the control of the Dragon Kingdom?"
This already involved government affairs. The old madam felt that it was not appropriate for her to stay here, so she closed the door and left, and also ordered others not to enter.
The third prince looked at Wen Yuan in a panic, "Why are you..."
"You brought only ten lizards this time, and you just said that Nanata can be cultivated in large quantities. This shows that most of the lizards have been sold by you and exchanged for gold and silver. This is contrary to the law. The Dragon Kingdom sets the rules, and the party that breaks the rules often ends badly."
