Rebirth Against All Odds: The Cunning Heiress's Eldest Daughter

"Father originally wanted to go to you directly, but unexpectedly, he was 'invited' here by His Majesty's people just after entering the capital. Speaking of which, His Majesty's people were polite to his ministers, tied them up with rope and threw them directly into the carriage. Heh, for my servant, this is really a fresh and exciting experience."

How could the emperor of the Northern Kingdom fail to hear the irony in his tone.Indeed, in this matter, the actions of the people he sent out were inappropriate.Anyway, the other party is also the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, with a high status, so he should treat each other with courtesy.

Clearing his throat, the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom said quietly, "I specially invited Lord Shangguan here today to verify one thing." After finishing speaking, he winked at the servant who was accompanying him.The interior official will come over and immediately turn around and leave.Not long after, when the interior officer reappeared in the hall, he had an extra scroll in his hand.He carefully held the scroll in both hands, as if afraid of any damage.

"Emperor~"

Walking all the way to the emperor of the Northern Kingdom, the interior officer bowed his waist, "The things have been brought!"

"En!" The Northern Emperor responded, and then said, "Open it, let Shangguan take a look."

"Whoo!"

The servant immediately turned around and faced His Highness and everyone.Then, he slowly spread out the scroll so that several people in the hall could clearly see the person on the portrait.

"Isn't that..." Shangguan Hui pointed at the person in the portrait, her eyebrows were raised slightly, and she looked uncertain.The person in the portrait is almost exactly the same as her, at least nine points similar.No wonder the Northern Emperor was so excited when he saw her for the first time.

A wave of astonishment flashed across Feng Zheliang's eyes, but within a short while, that wave was hidden in his obsidian-like pupils, and he also recovered his indifference.

Among the three, only Shangguan Wenyong, whose expression has not changed since seeing the portrait, is still calm and breezy, and he is not surprised at all.It was precisely this calmness that made the Northern Emperor feel a little strange.Unless Shangguan Wenyong had seen the person in the portrait, how could he be so calm?

After settling his somewhat excited mood, the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom spoke in a deep voice, his voice revealing the deterrent solemnity of an emperor.

"Do you know the person in the portrait, Lord Shangguan?"

"Go back to the emperor, the servants don't know!"

An angry flash of light flashed across the eyes of the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom, he was simply talking nonsense with his eyes open!Judging from the fact that he didn't show the slightest surprise when he saw the portrait just now, this Shangguan Wenyong must know Suxi and even have some kind of intersection with her.But he categorically denied that he knew her, clearly harboring ulterior motives!

"Hmph, I advise Mr. Shangguan to answer with discretion. Although the laws of my Northern Kingdom are different from those of the Southern Dynasty, "deceiving the emperor" is also a serious crime. Mr. Shangguan may not be able to afford the fate of deceiving me, right?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. Your servants are law-abiding people, so they naturally know what to do and what not to do. If you don't know, you just don't know. It's unnecessary for your servants to hide it from the emperor."

A few words made the Northern Emperor's face darker and colder.He clearly felt that this Shangguan Wenyong must have some past with Su Xi, but this old fox refused to admit it.Right now, he doesn't have any evidence, everything is just speculation.Even though he felt that Shangguan Wenyong was lying, there was nothing he could do about it.
