”This lord has misunderstood.” Murong Qi suppressed his anger and spoke seriously to Xiao Wen Feng as he listened to Cui Li upsetting the right and wrong, ”There is no doubt that my Rui Xi country has always been friendly towards Ming Xuan Nation.”

”Since what Lin Chuan said was true, then we will naturally investigate the matter and punish those who are at fault. We will bear the consequences of the accident as well, so please tell us the truth.”

As he said this last sentence, Murong Qi was staring straight at Cui Li, making Cui Li's hair stand on end. However, on the surface, Cui Li was crying with gratitude.

”His Highness Prince Rui Xi is a man of great righteousness and courage. This official admires you greatly! Later on, I will order someone to send a list of the losses of the aristocratic families and merchants to His Highness' Guest House, and also to help His Highness pacify the families that have suffered losses, I hope that Your Highness can be at ease! ”

Relax? Don't worry your head!

Mu Rong Qi could guarantee that if Cui Li played this part and comforted them, they would definitely add fuel to the fire and push the blame onto their heads. However, they couldn't refute him, let alone those injured aristocratic children, since their families were all in Liang Jing City.

However, merchants were different. They traversed the four seas, had a wide network of connections, and were capable merchants that dabbled in the white path of the imperial court and the underworld.

Although the consequences might not be big, it would definitely bring them a certain amount of loss.

”Since we made a mistake and caused a loss to the aristocratic families and the merchants, we should have personally come to apologize.”

”The two of you didn't bring many people with you, did you?” Xiao Wen Feng sat on the Dragon Throne as he smiled. However, Murong Qi and Murong Tan felt an irresistible pressure.

”The two of you have come from far away and aren't familiar with Liang Jing's aristocratic families. It is inevitable that you have missed something. After all, the two of you are still young.”

Xiao Wen Feng acted as if he was considering them and waved his hand, ”Where is Hong Dian Temple? Draw up a letter and send it to the Emperor. ”

Su Xing Yuan immediately leaned forward, ”This subject obeys the decree.”

Aren't you young? You should have no problem finding your parents directly, right?

Murong Qi's expression was stiff. If he were to poke his father because of this matter, then it didn't matter if his purpose of being sent by his father had been accomplished or not. He wouldn't be able to leave a good impression in front of his father.

”Your Majesty is overthinking things. It is because you are still young and are inconsiderate. Just as this lord said, please come and apologize in our place.”

Xiao Wen Feng nodded his head in satisfaction, indicating that Cui Li should do it immediately.

How could Xiao Wen Feng not know what they were trying to do? They had gained the upper hand in this fight, which in turn increased their chances of victory.

”...”

The matter of paying a visit and paying compensation soon spread throughout Liang Jing City. This was a good opportunity to boost our momentum, and many people were involved in this to increase the prestige of the Ming Xuan Empire.

Closing the door to the bustle and liveliness of the outside world, Lu Jinniang lay on the soft couch in an extremely displeased manner. He rested his head on one hand and his elbow on the couch.
