In the extremely gorgeous palace, a group of people knelt under the main hall, their heads trembling, not daring to even look at the woman above them.

"I said, only Prince Zhai Ye, understand?"

The woman in the main hall held Jade Ruyi in her hand and leaned lazily on the soft couch. The two palace servants lowered their heads slightly and gently held her legs.

Her casual tone was full of intimidation, and there was already a bit of anger in her eyebrows, which made the envoy lying on the ground tremble slightly and quickly said yes.

Fengyi waved her hand gently, and all the palace people around her retreated.

She walked down from behind the curtain and looked at a young man with red lips and white teeth next to the middle-aged man. She gently raised the young man's chin with her fingers coated with blood-red elixir, and lightly opened her red lips: "After all, there are some similarities, so I left

Come down, so that you can have company when the prince arrives."

The young man's hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists, with a hint of humiliation in his eyes, and he stubbornly turned his head away.

Fengyi was not angry and chuckled: "Here, this person is pretending to be the crown prince of Zhai Ye Kingdom. He wants to assassinate me. He drags me out, chops me up and feeds me to the dogs."

The envoy next to him hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare your life. This is the fourth prince of our country. He and the prince share the same mother. Because the prince contracted a serious disease before leaving, he came to be a hostage on his brother's behalf."

"Even so," Feng Yi paused slightly and said, "Since we have arrived at Zuixiu Country, we will stay a little longer and wait for when the prince will arrive and when I will send someone back to Zhai Ye."

She glanced at Zhai Ye's people lightly and said with a half-smile, "Zhai Ye will use counterfeit goods to deceive me again, which will make me doubt Zhai Ye's sincerity in seeking peace."

"It really happened for a reason. We were afraid that Your Majesty would blame you, so our country took this policy. We will never dare to deceive Your Majesty again."

The envoy's eyes were full of bitterness, and the prince failed to save him, but instead took the fourth prince into him.

Fengyi glanced at the pale-faced fourth prince, and then handed over the arrangement of envoys from other countries to the Grand Tutor Xu Yanqing.

Xu Yanqing walked out in the official uniform of Xianhe Xiangyun. His oppressive eyes slowly fell on Fengyi, with a faint chill all over his body.

"Your Majesty, since Zhai Ye has sent the fourth prince as a hostage, if he still wants the prince to come, it will inevitably damage the harmony between the two countries and be detrimental to the people of the world."

Fengyi just looked at him accusing her of not caring about the harmony between the two countries, and finally smiled at Xu Yanqing.

In the next second, in front of other important officials in the court, she pulled out the knife of the military attache next to her, stabbed Xu Yanqing directly, and then placed the bloody knife on Xu Yanqing's neck.

Blood spattered on her clothes, making the embroidery on her dress darker.

She smiled like a soul-stealing goblin: "Xu Yanqing, you are my subject and the Taifu of Zuixiu Kingdom. Unless you dare to seek the throne and usurp the throne, you'd better position yourself first."

The others knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

This sentence is so thought-provoking. If Xu Yanqing answers it carelessly, it means he has evil intentions and is a serious crime of beheading.

The cold blade scratched the skin of his neck, causing a stinging pain. Xu Yanqing's eyes turned blood red and his body swayed slightly before he managed to stand still.

He lowered his eyes slightly and held the knife edge tightly with his hand. Blood flowed down his hand. He knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I dare not, this world belongs to your Majesty."

Xu Yanqing once promised Concubine Yun that she would protect the person in front of her.

The education he received since childhood was to be loyal to Zuixiu and to the current Majesty to the death.

In the end, he gave up all the princes and helped the man in front of him to stand out in the insidious battle for the throne and become a good emperor.

"Of course I trust Taifu."

Fengyi returned the sword to the general and waved her hand: "It's just a joke. I see you are so scared that you have lost your soul. Please retreat."

Everyone agreed in unison and retreated.

After walking out of the hall, others looked at Xu Yanqing and couldn't help but persuade him: "Master Taifu, it's not like you don't know your Majesty's character. Since she is interested in the prince of Zhai Ye, she named him as a hostage, but Zhai Yeguo sent him away.

She got a counterfeit, and it was inevitable that she would be a little angry, but you chose to confront her at this juncture."

Xu Yanqing shook his head without saying anything, and walked down the steps step by step.

How could he not know that the emperor was interested in Prince Zhai Ye?

It's just that as the prince, the other party represents the face of a country. How can he be willing to let the prince go to other countries to be a hostage?

Zuixiu's too tough attitude will only be counterproductive. Once the opponent is forced into a desperate situation, it will arouse the anger of the people in Zhai Ye's country and twist the opponent into a rope, which will cause all harm to Zuixiu's country but no benefit.

Moreover, as spring plowing is approaching, if this battle continues, it will inevitably affect people's livelihood and the economy.

It would be better for both countries if each country takes a step back.

Xu Yanqing raised his eyes and looked at the bright red palace door, and saw his servant standing beside the carriage waiting for him to come out. The crane and auspicious cloud court clothes on his body were extremely stained by the blood flowing out.

The servant suddenly panicked when he saw blood on his body: "Sir."

Didn't the adults in their family go to court? Why did it look like they went to the battlefield for a walk?

"No problem, just take some medicine and go to the princess's mansion. I have something to see Princess Chaoyang."

Xu Yanqing said: "Now I am afraid that only Princess Chaoyang can persuade this person in the palace."

The servant huffed and said weakly: "Sir, I think you should not get too close to Princess Chaoyang. After all, you had an engagement with His Majesty."

This incident is a household name in Zuixiu, and everyone knows it. If it weren't for a huge change, I'm afraid the two of them would have gotten married.

Fengyi ate the grapes offered as tribute by the small country in the Western Region, and asked the workers around her to fetch thousand-year-old ginseng and send it to Xu Yanqing's house.
