After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 381: Western Region Envoy

Fortunately, the ministers acted efficiently and everything was arranged in just two hours. The envoys from the Western Regions also entered the palace, and the leading envoy still stood in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage. Long live the emperor." The envoy was the first to kneel and salute.

"Stand up, no need to be polite. What is the purpose of coming to the Great Zhou from the Western Regions?" Li Siqi was too lazy to be polite with these people and made things clear directly.

"This time, I and others came here to renew the contract with the Great Zhou that was not completed before."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"At the beginning, Princess Ye Dina led a group of people to the Great Zhou to seek peace, but they encountered an accident on the way back to the Western Regions. It was Princess Ye Dina's fate. After that, the Western Regions wanted to send people to continue the alliance, but unfortunately, the Western Regions fell into a civil war and has only stabilized now. In order to show the sincerity of the Western Regions, I have brought some special products of the Western Regions this time. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, the envoy asked the servants following behind him to present the things that had been prepared long ago.

After seeing this, Li Siqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "It seems that the Western Regions are so sincere this time and have ceded so much territory to the Great Zhou. If I don't agree, I'm afraid I will fail your Khan's sincerity. Well, then accept it."

"As for the details of the treaty, we will discuss it later. You are all tired from the long journey. I have asked someone to prepare an inn. The envoy can go there directly." Li Siqi ordered the envoy to expel him.

The envoy was naturally a man who could read the emperor's expressions, so he didn't say much and obediently left the imperial study.

However, after the envoy left, Li Siqi did not return to Jingren Palace immediately, but sat in the imperial study thinking about something.

If the envoys from the Western Regions had not arrived today, Li Siqi would not have thought of this solution.

The matter of Ye Dina left a deep impression on both Li Siqi and Xu Yingying. Li Siqi thought that no matter whether Xu Yingying had really lost her memory or not, if someone who looked similar to Ye Dina appeared here at this moment, it would probably stimulate Xu Yingying and help her recover her memory.

Li Siqi had a very beautiful idea, and of course, he decided to do so.

The next day, Li Siqi secretly summoned the envoy into the palace.

"Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty." The envoy was somewhat confused and could only kneel down and salute, waiting for his fate.

"Who is in charge of the Western Regions now? Or Wenwa?" Li Siqi asked this question first.

"Your Majesty is wise, it is Wenwa." The envoy was still confused.

"Then do you know who in the royal family looks similar to Ye Dina?"

"There is indeed someone in the former royal family who looks 70% similar to Princess Yedina. Her name is Tuwaya and she is currently among the envoys. Does the emperor want to summon her?" The envoy thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

"Tuwaya? Why have I never heard of it?" Li Siqi frowned. What he was talking about was naturally the time when he and Xu Yingying were in the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, it's inevitable that you don't know. Tuwaya is the youngest daughter of Yeluwen, the former Khan of the Wa clan. However, she was born in a humble family. Her birth mother was a foot-washing maidservant of Princess Yedina's birth mother. Later, she had evil intentions and climbed into the bed of Yeluwen Khan, and that's how Tuwaya was born."

"Later, she was discovered by Princess Yedina's biological mother and was directly deposed and sent to the cold palace. During the time when Your Majesty was in the Western Regions, Tuwaya was imprisoned in the cold palace, and Your Majesty naturally could not bear to see it." The envoy explained to Li Siqi considerately.

Of course, Li Siqi was still skeptical about this explanation, "Now bring the person to me for a look."

The envoy retreated quickly. An hour later, Tuwaya stood in front of Li Siqi.

"Your Majesty, I am Tuwaya, your humble daughter, paying my respects to you." Tuwaya bowed to Li Siqi with lowered head and saluted submissively. She did not have the arrogance of a princess at all, and her temperament was almost the opposite of Ye Dina's.

"Raise your head." Li Siqi frowned and looked at the girl in front of him. She just lowered her head, making it difficult for Li Siqi to see her face clearly.

Tuwaya obediently raised her head, and the moment she looked into Li Siqi's eyes, Li Siqi clenched his hands, fearing that he would lose control and pull Tuwaya down and chop her to death the next second.

The envoy did not deceive Li Siqi. Tuwaya did look very similar to Ye Dina. Although they were not born from the same mother, Ye Luwen's genes were strong enough. His two daughters looked like they were cast in the same mold.

But looking closely, Li Siqi could still find the differences between Tuwaya and Yedina, but that was enough.

In Li Siqi's opinion, Xu Yingying had already lost her memory and could not even remember what Ye Dina looked like. Tuwaya's current appearance was real enough to stimulate Xu Yingying.

"That's right, you just stay in the palace and work for me. If you do a good job, I will naturally not treat you unfairly." Li Siqi changed his mind, suppressed the hatred on his face, and said calmly.

The envoy and Tuwaya had no objections, nor did they dare to have any, so the matter was decided happily.

The envoy was then secretly sent out of the palace, while Tuwaya stayed in the palace.

In the imperial study, Tuwaya was still kneeling on the ground. Li Siqi stood in front of her, lowering his head and looking at the top of her head.

"Do you know what I want you to do?" Li Siqi asked in a low voice.

Tuwaya shook her head, "Your Majesty, please give me a signal."

"Yes, you are at least much more sensible than your sister." Li Siqi was very satisfied with Tuwaya's obedient appearance. After all, Tuwaya looked submissive and anyone could squeeze her flat and make her a perfect chess piece.

"The Empress is still short of a maid to clean the house. You can go there. As for the rest, you should do whatever I tell you to do. Don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and don't look at what you shouldn't look at. Otherwise, I think your deceased sister will miss you very much, right?"

Li Siqi, who was not around when Xu Yingying was not around, was decisive in killing, showing that the imperial family was the most ruthless.

Tuwaya shrank back, "Yes, it's all up to your Majesty's orders."

"Go down." Li Siqi was very satisfied with Tuwaya and did not make things too difficult for her.

The person in charge of the Jingshifang was also very efficient. As soon as Tuwaya was sent over, she was escorted by the palace maids to undergo a thorough examination. She was then changed into the clothes of a lower-ranking palace maid and sent to Fengyi Palace.

In order to prevent Xu Yingying from deliberately discovering it, Li Siqi also arranged a group of people to go to Fengyi Palace together, using the excuse of adding more maids to Fengyi Palace so that the master could be taken care of better.
