Chapter 117

In a small study room inside the post house, gathered there were the most important people in Ye Kingdom and the two most distinguished people in Shu Kingdom .

“Xiao Xi, you said that you are a young lady from a big household and there is only one daughter in your family?” Xia Yuqing took the lead to break the silence, speaking pitifully .

“Um… this isn’t a lie, Qing Jiejie . The palace should indeed count as a big household . ”

Xia Yuqing was stunned, tears rolling down: “You also said that your family is very big, rich and powerful . ”

“Umm, the royal family of the Shu Kingdom should be considered rich and powerful . ”

Xia Yuqing became more and more aggrieved . Her trickle of tears were becoming a flood: “You also said that your father forced you to marry a sissy, so you were forced to run away from home . ”

“Qing Jiejie, I didn’t lie about this . My father obeyed the words of my third royal uncle and my royal aunt who always wanted to force me to marry that Xia fourth royal prince . G.o.d knows that he is a fairy-like sissy . I don’t like him at all, so I ran out . Speaking of which, the fourth prince seems to be Qing Jiejie’s fourth elder brother! How come you are all in the same family but look nothing alike?”

Xia Yuqing’s mouth slumped, full of grievances: “So, it’s my fault?”

“…Of course not . ” Yun Xi froze and said with a guilty conscience, “I didn’t tell Qing Jiejie the truth earlier and only now, so it is my fault . I hope Qing Jiejie can forgive me once . ”

“How could I just let you off like this? Such an important thing…ahhh, if I knew that you were the heir of the Kingdom of Shu, I should have moved out all my little yellow books*, and subtly a.s.similated you into a rotten girl* . Then…Ahahaha, the heir, the future emperor of the kingdom of Shu would be rotten . Then having the entire world being like that won’t be a dream, not a dream!”

* chinese way of saying fujos.h.i.+

“…” Why can’t I understand what Qing Jiejie is saying? This is Yunxi who was bombarded by Xia Yuqing’s words .

“…” The Niang Niang of Ye country doesn’t seem to be very simple . Although he didn’t quite understand what she wanted to do, she seemed to want to brainwash their heir! Fortunately, she didn’t discover the ident.i.ty of their heir . These are the few officials of Shu who are praying for Yunxi .

“…” It’s over, Niang Niang’s sickness is reoccurring again! Moreover, in front of so many strangers, this is terrible . Now Niang Niang’s reputation will be pa.s.sed on to the other countries . These are the maids around Xia Yuqing who have been trained by Xia Yuqing and can probably understand what Xia Yuqing is saying .

“…” Girl, is that your main point? What about the things that the emperor (Zhen) was worried about before!? This is a few people including Feng Tingye .

“So… in short, I won’t forgive you easily . ” Xia Yuqing made a conclusion after venting, regardless of the different faces of everyone .

Yun Xi panicked and shouted: “Qing Jiejie…”

Xia Yuqing looked away proudly, not being baffled by the pitiful offensive of a certain Xiao Baozi . She sniffed and said, “Since you are the heir of Shu, why did you lie to me that Uncle Hao is your daddy?”

“That… is actually not a lie…he is indeed my father, but my father’s original name is Yun Zhongli . The real Uncle Hao is the one over there . ” Yun Xi pointed to Hao Gongfang, who was still wearing the dragon’s robe not far away, and whispered .

“Ahhhhhhhhhh? What’s going on?”

Xia Yuqing was confused, but Feng Tingye’s eyes seemed clear .

Feng Tingye stepped forward and took Xia Yuqing into his arms: “I think King Shu and her Royal Highness should give an explanation to Zhen and Ai Fei . ”

“This…” Yun Zhongli and Hao Gongfang looked at each other . There was some embarra.s.sment in their eyes . After all, this was considered their own domestic matter . If they told Feng Tingye, it would be inevitable that the people in front of them would think of what they shouldn’t towards Shu .

Feng Tingye seemed to see through the thoughts of the two and smiled: “It seems that the two cannot speak, but… Zhen will remind the two that the soldiers from the Kingdom of Shu did not just try to a.s.sa.s.sinate the King of Shu, they also tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhen and Ai Fei . Shu soldiers tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate King Ye and King Ye’s favorite concubine at the Ye State Post house . Even if there was no relations.h.i.+p between Ai Fei and the heir, no matter what, the two of you still need to give an explanation to Zhen and Ye Kingdom . Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the mouths of the ministers and even more difficult to quell the anger of the people of my Ye Kingdom . ”

Yun Zhongli and Hao Gongfang’s expressions changed slightly, obviously not expecting Feng Tingye to attack at this time . Right now they were under unfavorable conditions of the enemy’s . If Feng Tingye takes advantage of them at this time, they will never have a chance of winning .

“King Ye is threatening us?” “Yun Zhongli said with a sullen face, angrily .

“The king of Shu’s words are heavy . Zhen and Ai Fei just want an explanation . We won’t be putting knives on people’s necks with a knife, we just want to know why we are in this dangerous situation . ”

“…” Although Feng Tingye’s words were reasonable, Yun Zhongli and Hao Gongfang still avoided speaking .

Feng Tingye didn’t care, and threw out his last threat: “Speaking of which, there are quite a few a.s.sa.s.sins . Even though they are all captured, there are no more than a hundred people under the Shu King . If the unruly people who sent the a.s.sa.s.sins discover this, they will definitely not let it go . Even if the king of Shu does not care about his own safety, he should at least care about the safety of the heir . ”

“…” Xia Yuqing looked at Feng Tingye’s violent offensive with a speechless expression . The big beast is indeed a big beast . This is a threat in disguise . There are no more than a hundred left with the King of Shu? Now whether Feng Tingye detains them privately or throws them out to fend for themselves, it will undoubtedly break their back . King Shu is really in a dilemma .

Xia Yuqing glanced sympathetically at the two with their very ugly expressions on their face . Be good, accept your fate . If you fight against a black-bellied man who is black from the inside to the surface, you will never have a chance to win!!!

It has to be said that Feng Tingye’s last words did pierce Yunzhong’s weakness . His original intention was to leave immediately after he found Yunxi . Unexpectedly, Yunxi did not want to go with him, while on the other hand, these a.s.sa.s.sins hidden next to him were impatient and jumped out early . Now he really couldn’t advance or retreat .

“Father, tell them . ” No one expected that the first person to break the deadlock would be Yun Xi who had been thinking about how to restore Xia Yuqing’s heart .

“Xi Er…”

“This is our only choice . Father, Er Chen is willing to trust the person in front of you for Qing Jiejie . ”

“But your lord…” Hao Gongfang was about to step in, but was stopped by Yun Zhongli .

“Xi Er, do you know the seriousness of this matter?” Yun Zhongli frowned and looked at his daughter in front of him, struggle in his eyes .

“Of course, Father . Don’t worry, let Er Chen talk to King Ye . ” Yun Xi turned to look at Feng Tingye . She did not act cute like she does towards Xia Yuqing, instead, she brought back the cold exterior she had during her dispute with Huo Feiyan last time .

“Your Majesty, in fact, with your cleverness, you must have guessed a lot even if my father didn’t say it . That’s right, there are some people who do not know their own place in the Shu Kingdom . These people have become more and more due to my disappearance . My mother meant to take advantage of this opportunity of father going out of the palace to find me to clean up these people along the way . However, it is estimated that father did not expect so many to be lurking around him . Thus, many of the people by his side had been bought, allowing a.s.sa.s.sins to enter our midst . ”

“So…… ” Feng Tingye raised an eyebrow . This was the first time he was facing this mascot who served by Xia Yuqing’s side, this young girl who had no presence .

“So, I hope that I can represent my royal father and join hands with Your Majesty . ”

“Join hands?” Xia Yuqing and Yun Zhongli exclaimed at the same time, obviously they did not expect Yun Xi to say such a thing .

Feng Tingye was calmer than them . He raised his eyebrows to signal Yun Xi to continue .

Yun Xi smiled lightly: “Yes, join hands . I hope Your Majesty can lend an elite force to escort us back home . ”

“Elite troops?” Feng Tingye was amused by Yun Xi’s remarks . The gaze that looked at Yun Xi was a bit cold and stern, “Do you think I have any reason to lend you an army?”

Yun Xi was caught by his gaze . She trembled, but she still straightened her waist and said: “Reason? Of course there is . Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, the kidnapping of Qing Jiejie not long ago and the case of Prince Rui’s rebellion a long time ago, my father did not know anything about it . However, the person who caused this is indeed from my Shu country . What does this mean? This shows that the black hand behind this scene is dormant in the Shu Kingdom’s court, waiting for an opportunity to move . ”

Yun Xi looked up at Feng Tingye and continued: “This group of people has been looking for trouble in Ye Country in appearance, but in fact they have been instigating fights between Shu and Ye in order to achieve their ulterior goals . Now this group of people obviously cannot wait . As Your Majesty can see, if we go back like this, I’m afraid we will be a.s.sa.s.sinated along the way . When there is no leader in the kingdom of Shu, this group of people will inevitably take the opportunity to seize power . The tragic death of me and my royal father in the territory of Shu would cause a great fuss and a war between the two countries . I think that this is not the result that Your Majesty wants? Therefore, whether it is for Your Majesty’s sake or for our sake, Your Majesty should cooperate with us . ”

“…” Is this girl still the Xiao Long Bao that stays by her side and lets herself be tortured? Someone dared to negotiate terms with the Ultra Seme Lord like this? Wow, it’s awesome! ! !

Xia Yuqing stared at Yun Xi with bright eyes . Several people including Yun Zhongli were also a little surprised . When did his daughter (the heir) have such eloquence and knowledge?

Feng Tingye remained silent for a moment without changing his face, then smiled, “You are more clever than your father . ”

Yun Xi raised her head proudly: “That’s natural . My intellect comes from my mother . “

“…” Baby, have you been hiding your dislike of your father being stupid? The gla.s.s heart that had just been glued together inside Yun Zhongli clicked… and broke again!

“But you also said just now, those people are hovering above your Shu Kingdom court . The enemy is in the dark, you are in the light . If this is the case, even if Zhen sends someone, you are not guaranteed victory . ”

Yun Xi stared at the sly smile at the corner of Feng Tingye’s lips . She closed her eyes and said, “What good strategy does the emperor have?”

Feng Tingye smiled indifferently: “In this world everything has a price . ”

“…” Here comes the black-bellied fox mode of the Ultra Seme Lord! Someone is going to be trapped again! Xia Yuqing glanced at Yun Xi and her father sympathetically, I hope you don’t get slaughtered too badly, Amen~~~~
