The Emperor of Dongying's expression changed slightly. Before coming here, he had heard that the Northern Chu had gained the upper hand in attacking the Southern Frontier, and their morale had soared.
He said with a disdainful look, "It's just a victory, nothing more. There are many things in this world that are hard to predict."
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the Emperor of Japan, Song Yue would have wanted to throw him out immediately; he was far too arrogant and domineering.
She even suspected that the Emperor of Japan might have regretted his decision and was deliberately provoking her in order to take the opportunity to declare war!
After thinking it over, I realized that I hadn't yet grasped the situation, so I decided to be patient for now.
The Emperor of Dongying, however, thought that Song Yue had been frightened by him. A smug smile appeared on his face as he bent down and sat down: "I have come today to discuss the matter of the blood medicine catalyst. I would like to ask the Crown Princess of Bei Chu for a favor."
Before Song Yue could speak, the guard hurriedly whispered a few words in the ear of the Japanese emperor, whose expression changed instantly.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has forged an imperial edict that forced the Empress and the old lady of the Marquis of Zhenbei to their deaths."
The Emperor of Dongying glanced at the woman opposite him, took a deep breath to try to regain his composure, and said, "Princess Linghu Ning of Beichu, who was sent to Japan for a political marriage, forced my wife to her death. Did you deliberately send her to Dongying? How will this debt be settled?"
Song Yue smiled and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Since the Imperial Concubine committed murder, Your Majesty can punish her as you see fit."
"As compensation, I can give His Majesty a few bottles of blood."
"I want the second prince of the Southern Frontier!" said the Emperor of Dongying.
After pondering for a moment, Song Yue asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "Then please have Your Majesty write this in your own hand: no matter what mistakes Linghu Ning has made, he must not implicate Northern Chu, and he must not be held accountable!"
"Are you threatening me?" The Emperor of Japan sneered, having no intention of writing it at all.
She wasn't in a hurry, and said slowly, "Judging by the days, the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Chen won't last much longer, right? Maybe when the Emperor of Dongying returns this time, he'll have to collect the Fourth Prince's corpse."
"You!" The Emperor of Dongying was furious, as if someone had grabbed his lifeline. His forehead veins bulged and his eyes were sharp. He wished he could poke two holes in Song Yue.
But there was absolutely nothing they could do about Song Yue.
“The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang is the only hope to save Xuanyuan Chen. I will also give a few bottles of blood essence to the Emperor of Dongying for emergencies. This deal is naturally worthwhile.” Song Yue calmly looked at the other party’s exasperation.
The Emperor of Japan took a deep breath: "I agree!"
Therefore, the Emperor of Japan personally wrote a written agreement and promised to make it public so that he would never pursue the matter of the Consort's wrongdoing.
Song Yue then had three bottles of blood essence delivered, along with the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang.
Having achieved his goal, the Emperor of Dongying lost interest in staying in Bei Chu and got up to leave. Song Yue didn't stop him and watched them go.
The man had just mounted the horse.
General Shen then said, "I have already sent someone to inform Huo Xi, and he will surely be able to intercept him before he returns to the border."
Song Yue nodded and said, "Prepare to bring Miss Linghu back. Dongying is no longer safe."
