The Imperial Master was still immersed in his own emotions.
The emperor is the ruler of a country after all, and he will not easily reveal his true feelings in front of others.
He had long since learned from the secret guards that Prince Regent Dong Ye was still alive, so although he was surprised at the moment, he did not lose his composure like the Imperial Master.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your princess is currently resting in Yuanjing Pavilion, enjoying the highest treatment in the Northern Desert."
The emperor's old voice sounded, like a dead tree withering, and a dead atmosphere filled the air.
"The reason we invited the Prince Regent to come here is to maintain diplomatic relations between our two countries."
The emperor's tone was flattering, and although his face looked haggard and scary, his words were polite.
"Oh? To maintain diplomatic relations between our two countries, you kidnapped my Princess Dongye. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Xiao Moqing straightened his back and said in a tone that brooked no argument. Even if he came alone, he had the confidence to not fear Bei Mo.
Bai Shu couldn't help but admire this scene.
The Regent is worthy of being the leader of Dongye, he has something on him!
"There may be some misunderstanding here. The Imperial Master only ordered someone to invite Her Royal Highness the Princess over. The Regent can go to Yuanjing Pavilion himself to investigate later."
"Beimo has enough sincerity to establish friendly relations with Dongye."
"If the princess is willing, there are many talented young men among my princes. I hope to marry Dong Ye."
The emperor had a smile on his face when he spoke, but the smile looked a little creepy on his thin face.
His eyes were cloudy, his face was wrinkled, and his voice was full of vicissitudes.
[Susu, don't be fooled by this old man, he's very evil!]
The system was shocked by the shamelessness of the Emperor of Beimo. In the original plot, this old man was a tyrant and he even took the initiative to wage war against Dongye.
If he showed goodwill at this time and had no other conspiracy, it was because he was afraid of their Zhuge Divine Crossbow!
[From what I hear, the princess is at least safe, but what exactly is he up to? Is he really that afraid of Dong Ye?]
Bai Shu felt that something was fishy. The old man was eager to show his goodwill. He was the king of a country.
What’s more, Dong Ye is still recuperating. Isn’t this too weird?
"Could it be that Beimo's sincerity is to offer one of the twenty or so princes?"
Xiao Moqing did not give the emperor a way out. He felt that what Bai Shu said made sense. The more anxious someone was, the more problems there were.
On the way here, Ji Zhe had already sent people to investigate, and he believed that there would be results soon.
At this moment, the emperor sitting on the throne had a visibly gloomy expression.
He had many descendants, but he did not send them to other countries as hostages casually.
He quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile,
"I am willing to give up three cities and put them under the name of Dongye. In addition, no matter who your country's eldest princess chooses, she will be the crown princess."
What this means is that the person chosen by the eldest princess will be the future crown prince.
As soon as these words came out, all the eunuchs and guards in the hall dared not utter a word. The Crown Princess's fate was related to the struggle for the throne.
If this news gets out, the princes will have to do everything they can to win the favor of the eldest princess?
"Your Majesty is very scheming. The selection of the Crown Prince is constantly changing, let alone the position of the Crown Princess."
"And I believe the emperor has heard of Shule's past. How can the emperor guarantee that Beimo won't look down on Shule?"
Xiao Moqing also hopes that the two countries can cease fire, but this is definitely not achieved by sacrificing the royal heirs.
Six years ago, when he was still a child, he could have prevented this farce from happening.
With his current strength, there is no need for the eldest princess to marry.
"I can assure the Regent that my prince will not show any disrespect to the eldest princess."
"I also have many princesses of marriageable age. If the Regent and Emperor Dongye are willing, we can become relatives."
The emperor's old hands on the dragon throne could not help but clench.
This was the best solution he could think of at the moment. He hoped to keep the people in Beimo so that Xiao Moqing would not start a war easily given his temperament.
But who would have thought that Dong Ye was just an eldest princess who had just divorced her husband, and a baby little princess!
As the ruler of the same country, Emperor Dongye cannot compare to him in this respect...
Every word the emperor said touched upon the sore spots of Xiao Moqing and Bai Shu.
Bai Shu clenched her fists and was about to step forward to argue when she was stopped by Xiao Moqing.
"Your Majesty may not know that we in Dongye have never had the habit of marrying foreign princesses. I'm afraid this will disappoint Your Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor."
Xiao Moqing's cold eyes swept over the silent Imperial Master.
Perhaps, the reason why the Emperor of Beimo had a strange attitude was because of this imperial teacher.
"How about the Regent go to Yuanjing Pavilion to visit the Princess first, and stay here for a few days to experience the hospitality of Beimo before making a decision?"
The emperor didn't expect Xiao Moqing to be so determined.
However, he noticed that there was a little girl standing next to Xiao Moqing, who seemed to be special to him.
He said, how could a hero in the world be able to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman?
There is still time, he doesn't believe that this Regent Prince Dongye will be stubborn and refuse to listen to any persuasion!
"Dongye's rules will not be broken. In my opinion, the emperor should make other plans!"
After saying that, Xiao Moqing took Bai Shu's hand and left the hall without looking back.
Leaving behind the furious emperor and imperial preceptor, and the servants who dared not breathe...
"Master, won't you explain it?"
"Twenty-one years ago, you personally ordered the Gintama powder. Is this what you said would never go wrong?"
The emperor's old voice sounded faintly, his cloudy eyes fixed on the imperial teacher below him.
The tone was imposing without anger, and carried a deep sense of oppression.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Moqing is very healthy, and he needs an explanation.
"Your Majesty, I did give Xiao Moqing's mother the Silver Soul Powder, and the astrological signs were already abnormal at that time. They have been normal for so many years."
"Only a few months ago did this Tianchong Star reappear, and there was a faint unknown star shining brightly beside it. This astronomical official thinks it is really strange!"
The Imperial Master stood at the bottom, trembling, without any trace of the mysterious aura just now.
He was in charge of divination. The Emperor of Beimo was very superstitious about this. Since he came to power, he had spent a lot of money to build star-gazing facilities for him.
It is all about following the will of heaven and going against it!
"So how much influence does this Tianchong Star have on Beimo right now?"
The emperor stared at the imperial teacher.
Twenty-one years ago, the Imperial Master noticed that the Tianchong Star was rising from the east, and it was about to overwhelm the northern kingdom.
After much investigation, they finally locked onto the unborn Xiao Moqing.
The Imperial Master personally went to solve the problem. On the day Xiao Moqing was born, the light of Tianchong Star became visibly dimmed.
I thought there would be no more threats to the North Desert, but I never thought,
Not only was Xiao Moqing not poisoned, his martial arts skills were also unfathomable. Even the little girl next to him was calm and composed, and should not be underestimated.
