"The Thirteenth Princess, Yuan Qingyan."
"Yan'er? She's only eleven years old. She doesn't know anything."
"The Thirteenth Princess has had a great experience in the Tiansheng Dynasty. She was a good seedling, and her experience has made her powerful. The Thirteenth Princess today is no longer the same as before. She is a good herb grower. The herb that the emperor needs, I'm afraid only the Thirteenth Princess can grow in the Fire Country."
The old emperor's eyes lit up, "Quickly call in the Thirteenth Princess."
The queen was also very excited, for she had never seen her daughter come back before.
The eunuch who delivered the message came back alone. The old emperor asked: "Where is the Thirteenth Princess?"
"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Princess said that she is packing up to get married and has no time to grow any medicinal herbs."
"She is only eleven years old, what kind of person did she marry? Come here and plant some medicine for me!"
"Your Majesty, this is not Yan'er's fault. Your Majesty's order was to have the Thirteenth Princess marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as you saw her. Yan'er was just following your order and she did nothing wrong. Why are you so angry?"
"You can get married after growing the herbs."
"Your Majesty, you have to consider the overall situation. You can't break your promise to the Prime Minister for your own safety. You must know that this Prime Minister's Mansion is not an ordinary Prime Minister's Mansion." The Queen said in a low voice, and secretly, she seemed to be rolling her eyes to the back of her head.
The old emperor thought of the situation in the Prime Minister's Residence and hesitated. This Prime Minister's Residence...
…
Abao and Di Zian were locked up together in a side hall. There were no palace maids or eunuchs, only the two of them, brother and sister.
"This old emperor is really going too far! Isn't this the same as putting us under house arrest?"
Po sat on the blanket and sighed, "Seventh Brother, Po is hungry."
[I left in a hurry this time, so I didn’t bring any small bag or snacks. Oh, I regretted it when I needed them.]
Emperor Zian: “…”
After looking around, I found there was no food in the hall and the plates were all empty.
This was obviously intentional.
This old emperor is really good!
I never thought the old emperor was so ruthless that he could do such a thing to a child.
"Sister, why don't you wait for me? I'll go to the imperial kitchen and steal something for you."
Abao had never been hungry, and Di Zian felt more and more that he was a useless brother. He accompanied his sister only to make her hungry.
Emperor Zi'an felt sorry for his sister and rubbed her head, "A Bao, wait for me to come back."
After Emperor Zi'an left, Abao was bored and rubbed his belly.
[Oops, I forgot to tell my brother that I have rice gate]
Abao hugged a large vase beside him and turned around. The wall behind the screen cracked in the middle, revealing a secret passage.
Abao entered the secret passage. The little guy was not afraid of the dark at all.
"bite--"
I don’t know how long I walked before the door to the secret passage opened.
Po saw an exquisite room.
There were voices outside.
"Imperial Master, the matter of Emperor Jiaoyang has been settled." Prime Minister Lin sat on a chair, drinking tea happily. The abandoned Taoist Tianlin was lying on a stretcher, his face pale from crying.
Prime Minister Lin sneered, "This little princess of the Tiansheng Dynasty is nothing special. I really don't know where those rumors came from. She is not even two years old, just a baby who drinks milk. After a trip to the Tu Kingdom, the local emperor actually surrendered to her. This is really a bit of a disease."
"Hmph, I think so too. However, Emperor Jiaoyang is the treasure of Emperor Tiansheng. This is true." Tianlin snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "The useless prince was imprisoned, and the three envoys also suffered with him. Even Yang Lei did not keep his freedom. The secret informant reported that it was all because of offending Emperor Jiaoyang."
Prime Minister Lin sneered, "Hahahaha, you're killing me with laughter. They are afraid of a baby, but I'm not! The Imperial Master didn't see it, but today I'm following the Emperor's order to put that baby under house arrest.
She didn't dare to say a word, not even to cry.
What a treasure of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, what a powerful noble of the Earth Country, in front of us, the Fire Country, she is just a small ant that can be crushed to death at will. "
Tianlin laughed secretly, "Your Majesty is wise. Unlike the Turkish Kingdom, who imprisoned Di Jiaoyang, we put her under house arrest and starved her.
I heard that children are most afraid of being hungry. If one day she faints from hunger and dies of hunger, we can send a message to the Tiansheng Dynasty and say that the little girl was disobedient and went on a hunger strike. The Tiansheng Emperor will not be able to do anything to our Fire Nation."
"High! It's really too high!" Prime Minister Lin laughed, "When the time comes, Emperor Tiansheng will give us a letter of surrender, and all we will get back is a corpse.
By then, we will help the emperor seize the Tiansheng Dynasty, and the imperial teacher and I will be the most popular people in front of the emperor.
Plus, Prince Yan Ling is one of ours. To put it bluntly, when His Majesty passes away, Prince Yan Ling will take over the throne. In the Fire Nation, we will be great contributors who are second to none. Our position as Prime Minister will be elevated to a higher level."
The century-old prime minister’s mansion has absolute power in the court.
Prime Minister Lin has always wanted to be a powerful official in the Fire Kingdom. However, despite his strong purpose, no one in the Fire Kingdom dares to shake the position of the Prime Minister.
Even the royal family cannot easily touch the prime minister's residence.
Because the prime minister's mansion has a pet, the fire phoenix.
It is said that the ancestor of the Xiang Mansion picked up a fire phoenix by chance a hundred years ago and brought it back. Later, it became the Xiang Mansion's family beast.
The power of this Fire Phoenix is so great that no one can afford to offend it. It is even stronger than the national beast, the Golden Dragon. This is no secret in the Fire Nation, and it is one of the reasons why the Emperor is wary of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"The Prime Minister is very thoughtful. I really admire him. I believe that with the Prime Minister's planning, my Imperial Master's Office will also benefit."
"You are too polite, Imperial Master. We are two grasshoppers on the same rope. One day, I will be my powerful minister and you will be your Imperial Master. When we join forces, not only the entire Fire Nation, but also the other three nations will have to submit to us."
He only regretted that he was not born into a royal family, otherwise, he would definitely sit on the throne.
"Then I will wait for good news from the Prime Minister. When Emperor Jiaoyang is no longer able to survive, Prime Minister Lin will notify me."
Taoist Tianlin returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion happily.
Bai Yun wants to seize his position as the national teacher?
snort!
When the Tiansheng Dynasty surrenders and he recovers, he will release Lin Xiang's beast, the Fire Phoenix, to help, and Bai Yun will surely be defeated!
At this time, Prime Minister Lin was in a good mood, as if victory was in sight.
He happily drank the tea in the cup and walked into the inner room in a happy mood.
He opened the curtain and saw a little girl sitting on the table, with her legs hanging down, looking at him from side to side.
"Duck!!"
Minister Lin thought his eyes were blurry, so he quickly lowered the curtain, then took a few steps back, really frightened.
The lady heard the noise and came in, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Prime Minister Lin looked confused and pointed at the inner room tremblingly.
The Prime Minister's wife walked in suspiciously, "Oh my God! Where did this child come from?"
