Her father and mother died in that battle. Whenever war spreads, the people will suffer. Her father placed her behind a curtain. Fortunately, she was young and her body could be completely hidden. Otherwise, no one in the entire Liao Kingdom would have survived!

Why didn't they say why he wanted to harm people back then?

"Fine, I admit defeat today. I never thought I'd fall to you in the end."

Winston probably pretended to be a playboy to lower his guard and make him realize that despite his years of planning, he hadn't discovered that Winston was this kind of person.

"Guards, arrest the Imperial Advisor and throw him in jail!"

"Your Majesty, there's no need to waste your energy." Ye Lunzhou clapped his hands, and several women in black suddenly appeared in front of him. They were so quiet that no one noticed. The emperor's face darkened. This person was so bold as to have planted people under his very nose.

"I won't let you get away with this." The group of women in black led Ye Lunzhou away, and the room fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

The emperor suddenly lost all his strength and fell back onto the bed. The poison had just been cleared, and the shock was too much for him to bear.

"Father, please take good care of yourself!"

The Emperor waved his hand: "It's alright. It's just that whoever cured me of the poison is a meritorious official of our Western Regions, and I will reward her handsomely!"

Wen Sizhi could not answer this question, since the person who cured the emperor's poison was now in Lingfeng Kingdom.

Early in the morning, Song Tangxue went to the palace again to wait for the emperor's message.

Meng Youyu yawned, wondering why they had come today. The emperor of Lingfeng Kingdom would definitely not see them, so it was a wasted trip. She might as well go back and get some rest.

"You all wait here. I'll head back now."

According to her status, she should only be allowed to return after Song Tangxue gives the order. Perhaps she has become more and more unscrupulous these past few days because she has noticed that Song Tangxue is very weak-willed.

"Wait a minute." Song Tangxue walked up to her. "I haven't said anything yet, why did you go back first? Do you think a mere Miss Meng is more important than the Crown Princess?"

Meng Youyu said, looking aggrieved, "Of course not, it's just that we feel it's pointless for us to wait here, that dog emperor will never come out."

"Outrageous!" Song Tangxue shouted angrily. "We are in Lingfeng Kingdom now, and you dare to speak rudely to the monarch of another country to his face. Is this how Lord Meng taught you? It seems that it is time for me to pay him a visit when we return."

Meng Youyu was terrified and began to sob softly. She had only been in Lingfeng Kingdom for two days and had already cried twice, each time in front of so many people, making her lose all face.

“What this young lady said is quite right. So, our Emperor has not been able to meet you yet due to the many affairs of state. But you still need to know the most basic etiquette. It is said that Yongfeng Kingdom is the most knowledgeable about etiquette and shame. The Three Obediences and Four Virtues are all things to be learned. It seems that there are still some people who have learned but not mastered them.”

Wen Yin, unable to win the argument, happened to pass by the palace and encountered such an interesting thing. This woman was the same one who had been staring at him last time.

interesting.

"Yes...it was my fault..."

Meng Youyu was spoiled and arrogant because she was pampered by her father and mother. She was not a bad person. If someone said a few words to her, she would realize her mistakes. Such a person was much more pleasing to the eye than Song Tangli.

"My lord." The palace guards saw him bowing respectfully, which proved that they were convinced of his strength.

"You should go back. His Majesty will not see you today. Come back another day," Wen Yinzheng kindly advised.

The group leader sighed and prepared to leave with his men, but Song Tangxue still refused to leave.

"You should leave. No matter how long you wait here, His Majesty will not see you. Once he is done with his business, he will send someone to find you."

Song Tangxue remained motionless. She refused to believe that the people from Yongfeng Kingdom had been in Lingfeng Kingdom for so many days without the emperor issuing any notices, and that they would even wait outside the palace gates every day. She thought that if word got out that they were putting on such a grand show before even becoming the number one power, it would affect the reputation of the entire country.

"Let's keep waiting." Seeing that Song Tangxue hadn't left, they had no choice but to stay as well, until the sun rose and set before they finally moved.

Inside the palace, the emperor was indeed dealing with state affairs. He had heard that the people from Yongfeng Kingdom were still waiting outside the gate, but he ignored them, figuring they would be leaving soon and probably wouldn't come back tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, the people from Yongfeng Kingdom have left."

The Emperor, looking completely at ease, said, "I knew they wouldn't last long. It seems they definitely won't come tomorrow. Let's summon them again in ten days or half a month."

...

As soon as Meng Youyu returned to her room, she threw a tantrum. She wasn't supposed to come today, but Song Tangxue must have been acting strangely, as she had to wait there for almost a whole day before finally returning. Her legs were killing her.

"She's just a Crown Princess, what's there to be so arrogant about? I was also a candidate for Crown Princess back then."

At that time, Meng's father intended to marry his daughter to the Crown Prince, which resulted in the two of them not knowing each other. The Crown Prince had no interest in her at all, so the marriage was called off. For her, she was just one step away from becoming the Crown Princess.

"I'll tell them tomorrow that I'm not going because of my health. Whoever wants to go can go. Song Tangxue is acting like a fool. I used to think she was quite intelligent."

In a secluded place, Meng Youyu finally poured out all her grievances, and then realized that Song Tangxue hadn't actually done anything wrong.

“It is not the behavior of a gentleman to speak ill of others behind their backs.”

"who?!"

A figure stood outside the window, a handsome young man standing under the moon, holding a wine pot in his hand, extremely dashing. The face of this person was somewhat familiar, but Meng Youyu could not remember who it was.

"Who are you? Stop playing tricks." She was so frightened that she thought Song Tangxue's people had overheard her.

"We just met today, and you've already forgotten?"

Meng Youyu thought about it carefully: "You are Wen Yinzheng!"

My attire at night was different from that during the day; I was too reserved during the day and didn't seem as approachable.

The man jumped down from the window: "Not bad, I didn't expect you to still remember me. Guess why I'm looking for you."

The distance between the two suddenly closed, and Meng Youyu blushed.

"How am I supposed to know what you want from me? You were sneaking in through the window, you're obviously not a good person."

Wen Yinzheng chuckled: "That's quite true. I'm not a good person. I've come to you to ask about Song Tangxue."

Wen Yinzheng wanted to take on a disciple, but he wasn't without conditions. The disciple had to be quick-witted and intelligent, and if she was also good-looking, that would be even better. Today, after seeing Song Tangxue scolding Meng Youyu, he decided to take Song Tangxue as his disciple.
