Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong were clearly stunned. They had never thought that such a situation would occur. Moreover, the king had never said that he would bring so many people.
Although negotiations with neighboring countries required the assistance of other departments, there was no need for so many powerful ministers. Every one of them was of the same rank as Gao Shangyi. What was worse was that these people not only did not believe in the Divine Monarch Religion, but also had their own beliefs. Every one of them was an extremely loyal believer. It was impossible for them to be enticed by him.
If these people followed, how could they go to the Divine Monarch Religion?
However, with so many officials present, Gao Shangyi could not raise any objections in front of the king and the ministers. Otherwise, if he angered the king, he would definitely be punished on the spot. He might even be killed. Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong could only watch this scene. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable bitterness. They were extremely depressed and resentful.
They immediately looked at the queen on the high platform. Without a doubt, this was the queen's doing! The number of attendants had been changed to 40, and so many ministers had been called over. It seemed that the queen wanted to oppose them and not do as they wished.
This operation was personally ordered by the Divine Monarch Religion's leader. They definitely could not make any mistakes. Otherwise, no one would be able to escape punishment. No matter what, they had to find a way to have a good talk with the queen!
Following this, the queen gave a speech. However, her words were very simple and did not say much. Very quickly, she said to everyone in the group, "Set off!"
After the queen entered the carriage, the other ministers entered other carriages. The accompanying guards mounted their horses, and the attendants left the royal palace in a grandiose manner.
Lu An was an attendant. Naturally, he followed the carriage outside like the others. He looked very ordinary. Even without the veil hat, no one noticed his existence.
Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong were in the same carriage. Their expressions were ugly. Gao Yong angrily said, "This queen actually dared to trick us. She really doesn't know what's good for her. See if I don't find a chance to properly torture her!"
"We cannot be impulsive on this matter!" Gao Shangyi saw Gao Yong's angry appearance and immediately said, "Although the queen rarely participates in court politics, she is definitely a smart person. Since she dares to do this, she must have thought of a way out. She must have been prepared for what we are about to do. Moreover, she has so many attendants and those seven ministers. We simply cannot do anything! "
"Then what should we do?" Gao Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Should we just let her show off and ruin our plan? If she can't be sent to the headquarters, we're all going to die! "
"No, we will definitely send her to the headquarters." Gao Shangyi frowned and said in a deep voice, "If she really wanted to break away from our control and shed all pretense of cordiality, she would have done so long ago. There was no need for her to leave the palace with us. Since she dares to leave the palace with us, it means that she doesn't dare to disobey us! "
"What do you mean?" Gao Yong was completely confused. He asked, "She doesn't dare to fall out with us, but she still wants to go against us. What does she want?"
"I don't know either." Gao Shang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The biggest possibility I can think of now is that she wants to negotiate with us and take this opportunity to show her attitude. She can be controlled by the Divine Monarch Cult, but she doesn't want to be humiliated by so many people from the Divine Monarch Cult. She only wants to serve certain people. "
"…"
Gao Yong frowned. He was so angry and anxious that he couldn't sit still in the carriage and paced back and forth. Looking at Gao Yong's appearance, Gao Shangyi said in a deep voice, "Don't be so impatient. Otherwise, if our matter is discovered by the other ministers, it will be terrible! At that time, even if we fall out with the King, the two of us will also be dead. The Divine Monarch Cult will also be wiped out in one fell swoop! This road is so long. We need to rest. Once we rest, I can immediately go and talk to her! "
Hearing Gao Shangyi's words, Gao Yong could only take a deep breath and sit down in a huff.
The long procession left the palace. Gao Shangyi was right. This road was indeed very long. A state visit wasn't like an ordinary visit where one could use the teleportation array. Since Meng Kingdom was facing such a crisis, they had to be courteous in order to let the other party feel their sincerity and support. In other words, even if the procession could use the teleportation array, they wouldn't be able to arrive in one step. They had to pass through several important cities.
The planned journey would take three days and two nights. Naturally, they had to stop and rest at night. During the day, the ministers' carriages would be behind the Queen's carriage. Gao Shangyi had no reason to get close to the Queen and could only wait for the night to arrive.
In the afternoon, the procession arrived at a very important city in Meng Kingdom. After the Queen met with the City Lord, she entered the palace and rested.
The other ministers had their own courtyards in the palace, and the Queen naturally lived in the center of the palace. The other ministers didn't dare to disturb her, and this was Gao Shangyi's opportunity.
The courtyard that the Queen lived in was very luxurious. There were servants standing in the garden, and there were also some servants busying themselves or waiting for orders. When the sky darkened, two figures appeared outside the garden. They were none other than Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong.
When the two of them arrived, the servants at the door naturally stopped them. In front of outsiders, the two of them had to put on an act. Gao Shangyi said to the servant, "Please inform the Queen that the Minister of Rites, Gao Shangyi, wishes to see her."
"Please wait a moment." The servant walked inside, but he didn't come out for a while. Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong waited outside for a long time. When their patience was about to run out, the attendant walked out of the palace and returned to the two of them. "Please follow me."
When Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong heard this, they took a deep breath and calmed down slightly. However, the two of them were still very angry. The Queen dared to treat them with such an attitude. It seemed that they hadn't treated her well enough!
With anger in their hearts, the two of them followed the servant out of the palace and then into the palace. The servant respectfully said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, they have arrived."
In the room, the Queen had already changed out of her dress and into normal clothes. This made Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong frown. They had always wanted Liu Shan to wear the Queen's dress for them to enjoy. After all, this dress wasn't something that could be worn at will. Even the Queen couldn't casually wear it. Now that the Queen had taken off her dress, they were furious!
However, there were still ten servants in the room. Gao Shangyi suppressed the anger in his heart and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. May I ask the servants to leave first?"
"Something important?" The Queen looked at the two of them coldly and said indifferently, "If you have something to say, say it."
"You!" Gao Yong almost went berserk. The past few months of training had made him lose all respect and fear for the Queen. Instead, he thought that the Queen was his slave. When he saw that the Queen dared to speak to him like this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality he had left, he would have scolded her!
Gao Shangyi's face was also very pale. He said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. If outsiders hear it, I'm afraid it won't be good!"
Gao Shangyi's words were very cold and the threat was obvious. Even the servants around him looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect him to speak to the Queen like this.
The Queen's face turned even colder. She immediately said, "Pay attention to your status. Otherwise, even if you are the Minister of Rites, I can punish you immediately!"
Hearing the Queen's words, Gao Shangyi was shocked. He almost hit her! However, he held back. After all these years, he was definitely not a good person to be able to reach this position. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the Queen coldly. It was obvious that the Queen's attitude had changed greatly, but he still didn't understand the reason.
"I was too impatient." Gao Shangyi changed his strong attitude and bowed respectfully to the Queen. "However, this is really too important. I'm worried that the walls have ears. Please understand, Your Majesty."
The Queen looked at Gao Shangyi, who had lowered his posture. Although her cold eyes didn't soften, she thought about it and waved her hand. She said to the servants around her, "All of you, go outside and wait."
"Yes."
The servants bowed and left. Soon, only the Queen, Gao Shangyi, and Gao Yong were left in the palace. However, what made Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong frown was that the last servant who left didn't close the door.
"I still have something to do." The Queen looked at the two of them and said coldly, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
Although the door wasn't closed, the two of them finally couldn't control their emotions toward the Queen. Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong immediately stood up and glared at the Queen!
"It seems that you have forgotten your status!" Gao Shangyi growled at the Queen. "Do you want to be taught a lesson by the two of us?!"
