“What?” The exorcist Yuelu turned his head violently to face the amba.s.sador.

The amba.s.sador’s voice was low as he said, “The citizens of all four kingdoms are watching us right now. If you do not apologize, what do you think will be said of Huangzi Kingdom? Everyone would say that we bullied a mere child. Compared to an apology, which action do you think has a bigger impact?”

“But he clearly…” Looking at Amba.s.sador w.a.n.g’s expression, Yuelu could only suppress his growing anger with an increasingly red face. To the Little Seventh Prince, he said, “I am sorry.”

The three words were so cold that it seemed like they were gritted out of his tightened jaw, his unwillingness plain as day.

So what if he was unwilling, he was still humiliated in public.

The amba.s.sadors no longer wore the relaxed expressions they had when they arrived. Now, even their smiles looked stiff.

Liu Yu stole a glance at the throne as his eyes shone brightly. The Third Princess Consort’s trick was effective.

Baili Jia Jue also looked at Helian Wei Wei with an indulgent smile playing on his lips, as if he was saying, “How could you be so shameless?”

Helian Wei Wei seemed to have understood, and replied in a low voice, “I learned this from you. Also it was the other party that was shameless first for bullying our Little Seventh Prince.”

“Yeah, they bullied me.” Little Seventh Prince nodded his head gleefully.

The shadow guard watching by the side felt conflicted. He had been serving in the palace for many years, yet he had never seen anyone who could actually bully the Seventh Prince. It was already a wonder that he did not beat anyone up, let alone get bullied himself. Also… what was that remark about timidity? Was it really meant for their Seventh Prince, who had always been an unabashed troublemaker?

He had to digest what he heard properly…

The amba.s.sadors would most definitely not forget their initial intentions just like that. With this verbal setback, they would definitely find other avenues to achieve victory.

“Let them have their fun for the moment. When the Xuanyuan Kingdom arrives, they would not be able to laugh anymore. By then, we will have the final say.” Amba.s.sador w.a.n.g took the opportunity to whisper into an angry Yuelu’s ear as he took his cup. “The War Dragon Kingdom lacks talented necromancers. It will be a piece of cake for you to teach them a lesson.”

Yuelu drank a mouthful of wine angrily. As he placed his cup down, his eyes flashed evilly.

amba.s.sador w.a.n.g stood up after advising him and said politely, “Third Prince, Huangzi Kingdom has never fought a war with anyone. We always put our citizens first. We have rushed here overnight after hearing that the seal in the Capital is vulnerable. Our only intention is to save the people from any risk of danger. Would the Third Prince give the Huangzi Kingdom a chance?”

Upon hearing that, a mysterious look came into Baili Jia Jue’s dark eyes, as if he was a.n.a.lyzing something. Then, he crossed his arms and held up his chin as his lips slowly stretched into a cold smile. “What kind of chance does Lord w.a.n.g want from me?”

“My country would like to contribute in terms of strength. We can send our best exorcists and guard soldiers to be stationed near the capital.” amba.s.sador w.a.n.g noticed that he took the bait, hence he continued with enthusiasm. “You do not have to be overly courteous, Your Highness. This is a unique situation. The four kingdoms should unite and overcome this together.”

Baili Jia Jue listened to the amba.s.sador as he twisted the ring on his finger. He chuckled softly as he said, “Amba.s.sador w.a.n.g, what you meant was that if Huangzi Kingdom was facing a problem, I could just bring an army over? After all, I would just be sending aid. I heard that your Fourth Prince seem to fancy abducting village girls recently. Shadow guards, go gather our troops. Tomorrow we shall head over to help the Huang Emperor educate his son. What do you think about this plan, Amba.s.sador w.a.n.g?”
