Xiao Yuanshuang naturally avoided the topic and looked at Qi Yuan with a pitiful expression.

"Lord Qi, save me..."

After saying that, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Although judging from her breathing, it must be a fake fainting spell, Qi Yuan wouldn't expose her.

There is only one imperial physician. Should he treat Xiao Yuanche, who is wailing and rolling around on the side, first, or should he save Xiao Yuanshuang, who is already unconscious?

The task of deciding who the imperial physicians should treat fell to Qi Yuan.

Xiao Yuanshuang's tactic of feigning retreat to advance was brilliant.

Qi Yuan sneered, waved his hand, and several burly Imperial Guards pushed aside the Yue Kingdom attendants who were busy outside and stepped in.

They worked in pairs and lifted Xiao Yuanche off the ground.

Xiao Yuanshuang's hand, held by Cherry, tightened. Was she going to be carried away by such a rough person as well?

Qi Yuan's personal attendant immediately took command.

"You guys, hurry up and put out the fire."

"Your Highness is light-footed; one person can carry you out."

ah!

brute!

Xiao Yuanshuang trembled uncontrollably, cursing Qi Yuan viciously in her heart. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? How could a mere imperial guard allow a princess to be held in his arms!

"Wait," Qi Yuan said again just as she was about to open her eyes.

“You big, burly men shouldn’t offend the princess. Cherry, you come here.”

Qi Yuan knew what he was doing. If word got out that the Yue Kingdom's princess had been embraced by the Imperial Guards in the Qing Kingdom, and Xiao Yuanshuang suddenly decided to slit her own throat, that would be terrible.

So I was just trying to scare them.

Xiao Yuanshuang was limp and weak. Cherry gritted her teeth and helped her up from the ground, swaying slightly.

They couldn't carry her by hand, so they could only support Xiao Yuanshuang and take her out before the fire spread.

But for some reason, when the two of them, master and servant, walked up to Qi Yuan, Cherry slipped.

Her knees slammed directly to the ground, but she managed to keep Xiao Yuanshuang from falling.

"master..."

A piercing pain shot through Cherry's knee, and she was too pained to speak.

Qi Yuan immediately took a step back.

Normally, if a beautiful, injured woman falls down in front of you, any man would reach out to help her up.

Xiao Yuanshuang never expected that Qi Yuan would avoid her like the plague.

It was as if she were something dirty.

Through her slightly open eyes, she vaguely saw Qi Yuan's stern face, looking at her with a half-smile.

Xiao Yuanshuang closed her eyes and fainted completely this time.

The imperial physician arrived late, "Lord Qi, this..."

Which one should be saved first?

Xiao Yuanche was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, feeling a burning pain in his genitals. "Quick, let me see first."

Ignoring her pain, Cherry immediately took a few steps forward, pleading, "Please, sir, save my mistress first! She's already unconscious."

"Shut up, you lowly servant! I am a prince, I am the future of Yue Kingdom, your mistress is just a princess!"

"Lord Qi, save me first!"

The pain caused Xiao Yuanche to lose his mind, and he vented all the resentment and hatred he had been suppressing in his heart towards Xiao Yuanshuang.

He was unhappy that Xiao Yuanshuang always stared at him, as if everything he did was wrong.

She was even more jealous that her father had summoned Xiao Yuanshuang privately before this trip.

He had no idea what the two said or what they revealed.

But his father did not summon him alone.

Moreover, this fire, which caused this situation, is all because of her.

Be careful, it will get stale the more it's served.

If only Xiao Yuanshuang could die here...

A wicked thought surfaced in his mind, burning away his ambition like wildfire.

Yes.

If Xiao Yuanshuang dies here.

He could pin the 500,000 taels of silver he overspent on Xiao Yuanshuang, since she still owed 2 million taels.

They could also use the death of the Yue princess in Qing as an excuse to gain more benefits for Yue.

When we get back, we'll tell him that he did his best.

The princess's death had nothing to do with him.

"Since the Second Prince has given the order, then we should save the Second Prince first."

Qi Yuan saw everything and gave instructions to the imperial physician.

The method worked well for both patients.

As for Xiao Yuanshuang... he secretly observed her and concluded that rather than being unconscious due to burns and frostbite, she had simply fainted from anger and wouldn't die.

While this place is in dire straits, the Imperial Garden is a scene of peace and tranquility.

The sound of fireworks masked the commotion at Lingxi Palace.

Murong Yue thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

It turns out that the sound of an explosion doesn't necessarily come from gunfire; it can also be the sound of fireworks, symbolizing happiness and joy.

Back in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the little zombie was busy showing off a late-night snack before falling into a deep sleep, clutching his large pearl and yellow crystal.

The next day was not originally a day for court assembly.

Normally, Murong Yue would not meet with court officials.

However, Minister of War Chen Shi'en, Imperial Preceptor Li Xuanji, General Huo Cheng, Minister of Revenue Jiang Feng, and Minister of Rites Murong Anle still made their attempt to meet the Emperor after breakfast.

Because of two major events:

The plan to attack the Yun Kingdom.

The grain from Yue Kingdom is about to arrive.

"I believe that Your Majesty proposed exchanging grain for silver, which the Yue Kingdom would have refused. I never expected them to agree."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Murong Anle flattered him.

Murong Yue didn't understand this; she only knew that the Qing Kingdom base needed more food.

"well done."

A mere three words of praise from Your Majesty are enough.

Murong Anle and Jiang Feng were overjoyed.

Jiang Feng recounted the preparations he made for this handover.

Murong Yue's mind was sometimes in a state of understanding, and sometimes in a state of daydreaming.

By the time she realized what was happening, it was already General Huo Cheng's turn to speak.
