Early in the morning, Mo Weinong scooped Mo Weinong out of bed and put on the Female Envoy's uniform that was bestowed by the palace.

The Royal Female Envoy was a young girl. The way she dressed looked too old and lifeless in front of the envoys from other countries. That was why the Female Envoy's clothes looked so light and elegant, with a color that was close to a light blue and white.

At least, Mo Weinong liked it.

Moreover, these clothes were only worn by the envoys today, so there was no need for them to be so grand later on.

She also wanted to go to court today, so it was rare for her to wake up so early in the morning.

Before dawn, she had already arrived at the entrance of the palace. Covering her yawning, she stepped into the imperial court.

It was the first time that a majority of the officials in the imperial court had seen her, and they had long heard that the Royal Female Envoy's selection process was unusual, the chosen Female Envoy was also different from usual, and they also heard that this time, the Female Envoy was extremely beautiful.

Now that he had met her, it was as he had expected.

And because of that, some people's expressions became ambiguous and subtle — — This color, becoming a Royal Female Envoy, wasn't strange at all.

How could Mo Weinong know what these people were thinking. She only took a glance at the Prince Yan standing at the very front of the line, then calmly stood at the back of the line, keeping a low profile.

When Emperor Xuanwu came to pay his respects, she was called out to speak.

"This is the first time that the Female Envoy Mo has come to the imperial court. She seems to be very calm and steady, not the least bit panicked. I believe that she will definitely be able to arrange a good meeting with the envoys."

Your majesty, can you not brag so obviously? It's just the morning assembly, what's there to panic about? Aren't other people the same?

However, she really wanted to change her mind. It was not like Royal Female Envoy had never gone to court before, but she would always appear to be tied down. After all, the people she was facing were all the old ministers of the court, so a woman would naturally become the focus of everyone. Thus, no matter how capable and graceful she was, it was inevitable that she would be nervous when facing a group of men.

"Thank you for your praise, your majesty. Weinong will definitely live up to your expectations."

Mo Weinong bowed once again, then returned back to the back of the group.

Such an attitude really caused many officials in the court to take a second look.

The Emperor Xuanwu looked at the officials and said solemnly, "Today, the envoys of the Great Lie will arrive in the capital. The team was already 20 km outside the city. In another 4 hours, they would enter the city. This time, my envoy has come to the capital with a great deal to worry about, and it is also when my Great Xuan Country is showing the capabilities of various parties.

"Raise the might of our country! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

One by one, the court officials got excited as they kneeled down and shouted. Their voices resounded throughout the entire hall.

Emperor Xuanwu talked for a while longer, asking about the various arrangements. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he left the court, allowing everyone to carry out their duties and wait for the arrival of the Great Lie's ambassador.

However, before he left, he suddenly said, "Prince Yan, follow me over."

"Yes." Prince Yan cupped his hands and followed him to the rear hall.

Mo Weinong was also going to the imperial harem to look for the Empress. She was not the only one who received the envoys, there were also many palace maids and servants waiting for her at the empress' Evergreen Palace.

However, just as she was about to turn around and leave the main hall, she heard a low voice from behind, "Female Envoy Mo, wait a moment."

This sound...

Mo Weinong secretly lowered her eyes and turned around. As expected, she saw the Prince Ji striding towards him with large strides.

The court officials who had planned to leave the hall stopped and looked at the two men in surprise.

One was the king with a different surname who was currently in the limelight, the other was the newly appointed Royal Female Envoy.

"Greetings, Prince." Mo Weinong nodded.

Prince Ji stood in front of her, and suddenly revealed a smile on her lips. "The last time this king saw Female Envoy Mo, it seemed to be when you pulled out your blade and displayed your strength that few people were able to defeat."

No, no, no, Your Highness, the last time we met was when I was bestowed the title of Royal Female Envoy. You can't deliberately forget about the pain in your heart just because this matter has caused you to lose face. This way, your memory won't be good.

Also, what did it mean to have fewer enemies? Prince Ji, are you trying to push me towards the image of a female warrior?

"Last time, I caused Your Highness to lose to that xuan iron sword, so Weinong is very sorry. Luckily the duke was generous and didn't argue with Weinong, if not Weinong would really be afraid that he would accidentally do something bad. "

"…" The corners of Prince Ji's mouth twitched. Many people in the knew that the xuan iron sword had lost to him, but whether or not this woman was being careless, she actually mentioned it at this crucial moment.

However, he reacted quickly and laughed, "This King originally thought that you were able to pull out that sword due to your great strength and luck. But ever since This King found out about your trip to Haozhou, and even personally found that dog official Xun Anliang and brought him to the yamen, This King finally believes that the Female Envoy Mo has true ability. After all, even the Prince Yan had been away for so many days but they were still unable to find the whereabouts of the dog official.

Hey, trying to sow discord.

Mo Weinong knew that the Prince Ji had called him an uneasy and kind person. She smiled and said humbly, "No need for that, Your Highness is joking, I was just lucky. Catching someone was something that a guard would do, and I would only drink tea under the sun. I didn't expect that after the sun had set, Xun Anliang would mysteriously land in my hands. No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible to block this kind of luck. Your Highness doesn't know that on my way back to the capital from the Hauzhou City, I even encountered an assassination attempt, and I don't know which idiot ordered it. Fortunately, my luck has always been good, and I actually escaped disaster. "

Idiot?

Prince Ji's face, who was called stupid, had a faint green color. He glared fiercely at Mo Weinong, as if he wanted to find something out from her face.

But Mo Weinong's expression was impeccable, even Prince Ji was unable to differentiate if she knew or not that he had sent those killers.

He was certain that he had left no clues behind, and even if he had suspected anything, there was no evidence. The assassins let him clean up before they were discovered. Besides the smell of blood, there were no other traces of fighting on the road.

Strangely enough, after Prince Yan and Mo Weinong entered the capital, they didn't mention anything about that assassination attempt.

As such, upon hearing that she had been assassinated, all the officials present revealed looks of surprise on their faces.

"Assassinate? Didn't Female Envoy Mo come back with him? Was the assassination directed at the Prince Yan? "

"Who's so daring?"

Mo Weinong was uninterested in these discussions. She did not understand what the Prince Ji wanted to do with her, so she just blessed herself a little and said, "Since Your Highness has nothing else to do, then Weinong will go to the Empress's place first."

Finishing his words, he turned around and prepared to leave.

He didn't expect the Prince Ji's' heh 'laughter to suddenly come from behind him.
