What was the reason for his sudden change from arrogance to deference?
Was there something about West Chu that Northern Qi was willing to bow down and curry favor with?
The ministers all perked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Mo Chuan and the Northern Qi envoy. They could only hear the Northern Qi envoy's words of praise, all of which were for West Chu, making them feel as if they were floating.
Mo Chuan's face did not show any expression. His expression was indifferent. No matter how much the Northern Qi envoy praised them, he only slightly raised his eyebrows. His clear eyes flashed.
This made the Northern Qi envoy feel that he was even more enigmatic, and his reverence for him increased.
"Honorable Envoy, it's getting late."
The other side's repeated praises had already rubbed his ears with calluses. Mo Chuan could not help but speak up, interrupting the Northern Qi envoy, hinting that it was time for him to leave.
An awkward smile appeared on the face of the Northern Qi envoy, and he glanced in the direction they had come from.
"Sir, are you waiting for someone?" Mo Chuan asked without batting an eyelid.
"Yes, I hope to see the empress before I leave and personally thank her," the Northern Qi envoy finally said. He had been waiting for Chen Ning for a long time.
Who would have thought that after waiting for so long, Chen Ning would not appear.
"The empress?" Mo Chuan muttered.
He thought to himself, he had already told Little Ru to tell her when Chen Ning woke up. As for when she would wake up and when she would come, even he could not say for sure.
"The empress has not been feeling well these past few days, so she cannot come to see you off. I hope you do not mind."
"Ah, so it's like this."
The Northern Qi envoy could not help but reveal a look of disappointment. He looked in the direction they had come from, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He happily said, "The empress is here!"
Mo Chuan looked back and saw Chen Ning's sedan chair appear in his line of sight. He could not help but curl his lips.
The Northern Qi envoy did not wait for the sedan chair to come closer. He impatiently went forward to welcome it.
"The empress, I have been waiting for you to appear. You have finally arrived." He stood outside the sedan chair and respectfully said.
Little Ru opened the curtain and Chen Ning slowly stepped out. Her face was beautiful and graceful. When everyone saw her, they could not help but feel a deep sense of respect.
The scene became completely silent.
Her gentle gaze fell on the Northern Qi envoy's face. She smiled and said, "Sir, you have returned. I have come to see you off, but I have come late. I hope you do not mind."
"No, no. The empress is too polite. The empress is too polite. I am honored that you have personally come to see me off." The Northern Qi envoy's face was full of joy, and his tone was sincere.
This made all the West Chu ministers click their tongues.
How could this guy whose eyes grew on the top of his head become so respectful and courteous when he saw the Empress?
Strange, truly!
Chen Ning knew that the Northern Qi envoy was grateful to her. She smiled, but before she could say anything, she saw the envoy take a beautiful brocade box from a servant next to him and respectfully present it to her with both hands.
"Sir,, I have Qi, To Chen," Chen, I Qi's You, Qi 'Chen Qi' not to me. "Chen Chen Chen. Qi. I She he he Chen and said.
"Chen Qi, there, I am not to thank Chen Qi. Qi 'Chen to say. Ling Chen, I, I cannot I, I, I Chen, I Qi and Qi, I Chen, I, You, I I's Qi' Grace, and I, I, Not.
