Su Xian waited for another quarter of an hour.
In addition, today is a sunny day with bright sunshine. Although the sunshine is not harsh, it continues to shine on people, which makes people feel irritable for no reason.
In front of the closed city gate, the receptionist still stood there with no intention of giving way.
Su Xian couldn't hold it back and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has not come for so long. He must have been hindered by something. There is no need for us to wait here foolishly."
The receptionist also looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly lowered his head and bowed:
"Please wait a little longer for your envoy. Your Majesty once told me that you must not let your envoy enter the city alone. Your Majesty must come out of the city to greet you."
Seeing this, Su Xian knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he had to retreat to his original position.
Zhou Wei and Yang Zhilan immediately gathered around.
Zhou Wei looked wary, looking around secretly, with a mysterious look, and his spirit was also highly tense, as if he was in a dragon's den.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Su Xian was curious.
"Shh... Senior brother, don't you think it's strange?" Zhou Wei lowered his voice.
"What's weird?"
"Emperor Liao!" Zhou Wei's face was tense, and he glanced at the receptionist in front of the city gate with deep meaning. He pulled Su Xian back two steps and lowered his voice:
"Why is Emperor Liao refusing to let us enter the city? Senior brother, what do you think is the reason? I guess, he must want to give us a blow!"
"A show of force?" Su Xian frowned secretly. Although he didn't quite accept this statement, it seemed to be the fact.
"Yes, showing off is just the beginning. Emperor Liao will definitely take action against us next! Brother, I think the mastermind hiding in the Liao Palace is none other than Emperor Liao!"
Zhou Weiyu will not stop until he is shocked.
Su Xian immediately shook his head:
"Impossible. How could Brother Nalan be the mastermind behind this? Junior brother, please don't make blind guesses. I understand his character, and there is no way he could attack us."
While they were chatting, a loud voice came from the other side of the city gate: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
The discussion between Su Xian and Zhou Wei came to an abrupt end, and they turned to look at the closed city gate together with everyone else.
Nalan Festival is finally here?
Soon, with a heartbreaking sound of the door hinge turning, the city gate opened wide, and a large group of people rode out, about a hundred people in total.
The person at the front is Su Xian. He is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, has good facial features, and rides a tall horse. Who is Nalan Jie?
"Brother Su!"
As soon as Nalanjie saw Su Xian, he yelled regardless of his appearance. At the same time, he turned over and dismounted. He walked towards Su Xian and said with a hearty smile:
"Brother Su, thank you for your hard work coming all the way. It is my honor and the honor of the whole Daliao that Brother Su can come!"
With that said, Nalanjie walked up to Su Xian and held Su Xian's hand tightly with a look of ecstasy. The two looked like long-lost brothers.
"Your Majesty, Su Xian, pays homage to your Majesty."
"Hey, Brother Su, please forgive me. We brothers have no need for these false rituals between us."
"Your Majesty, things are different now. Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and your ministers will always be ministers. It is inappropriate and unethical to call you brother or brother."
As soon as Nalanjie heard about the word "etiquette", his face couldn't help but straighten up. He pondered a little and said with a smile: "Brother Su said it is true. Then I will call Brother Su Su Aiqing from now on."
While Su Xian was chatting with Nalanjie, he took the time to look back at Zhou Wei, as if to say: "Junior brother, look at how enthusiastic he is, there is no way he is the mastermind behind it!"
Zhou Wei scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face, and silently stepped aside to doubt his life.
After chatting for a while, Su Xian suddenly remembered "Nalan Yan, who wanted to meet him." He looked around and found Nalan Yan, so he asked:
】
"Your Majesty, why didn't I see Princess Ruyi?"
Princess Ruyi was Nalanyan's title. Her father, the previous Liao Emperor, before he ascended the throne, had the title Princess Ruyi.
"Uh...well..."
Nalanjie was speechless for a moment and his face looked slightly unnatural.
In fact, the reason why he "kept" Su Xian and his party for so long was not his original intention. He originally wanted to take his sister Nalanyan out of the city to greet them.
This was also something Nalan Yan had agreed upon in advance.
But who would have thought that when things came to a close, Nalanyan disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard she looked for her.
The reason why Nalan Festival was delayed for so long was because he couldn't find Nalan Yan, so he finally went out of the city alone to meet Su Xian.
But I can't tell Su Xian about this.
How to do it?
Nalanjie suddenly had an idea, the smile on his face dropped, and he shook his head and said, "Su Aiqing, something is unfortunate. Yan'er...she has been feeling unwell recently and is bedridden. She cannot leave the princess's residence for even half a step."
"Feeling unwell? I'll go and have a look."
Su Xian said and walked towards the open city gate.
Nalanjie was dumbfounded on the spot, never expecting this to happen.
He originally thought that "Yan'er was unwell" could be dealt with by the lake, but... Su Xian wanted to go see it. How could he see it? Wouldn't it reveal the secret?
He quickly grabbed Su Xian and said, "No, Su Aiqing!"
"Why?" Su Xian stopped.
"Because...because men and women are not intimate, Su Aiqing should not go."
"Your Majesty is worried about this." Su Xian smiled brightly: "Your Majesty must have forgotten that I am a doctor and my medical skills are quite good. I can just check Princess Ruyi's health."
Nalanjie really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but he forgot about Su Xian's medical skills.
Fortunately, he had an idea again:
"I appreciate Su Aiqing's kindness, but my imperial doctors in Daliao are not all mediocre. Yan'er can just rest for two days, so there is no need to trouble Su Aiqing."
Su Xian wondered why Nalanjie insisted on stopping him?
By the way, there may be only one reason.
That’s where Nalanyan’s aunt comes!
"I see." Su Xian gave up the idea of checking Nalanyan's body, thought for a while, and reminded: "I have a suggestion that may speed up Princess Ruyi's recovery."
"What advice?"
"Drink more hot water!"
"Drink more hot water?"
Although Nalanjie looked confused, he did not dwell too much on it. To prevent Su Xian from clinging to this matter, he hurriedly said: "Su Aiqing, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the city first!"
Su Xian smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Unexpectedly, just as everyone started to take steps, a fast horse roared towards them and stopped in front of everyone.
It was a soldier wearing a green armor. He dismounted and bowed to Nalanjie and Su Xian: "General Green Flag Military Academy Captain, I pay my respects to your Majesty and your distinguished envoy."
"What's the matter?" Nalanjie frowned slightly. He was receiving distinguished guests. What trouble did this man come to cause?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess is about to send something to you. The Princess personally ordered that this gift should be delivered to the envoy, and she also had a few words."
As the green-armored soldier spoke, he handed Su Xian a riding whip.
Su Xian stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it carefully. It was just an ordinary riding whip with nothing special about it. He casually asked, "What does the princess want to say to you?"
"Returning to your envoy, the princess said: I am at the Green Flag Army camp outside the city. If you want to see me, come to the camp outside the city!"
"Princess Ruyi is in the camp outside the city?" Su Xian turned to look at Nalanjie. He remembered very clearly that Nalanjie had just said that Nalanyan was ill at the princess's residence!
