Chapter 288: Establishing Authority
As soon as the words fell, the Marquis of Xinyang could not help but said: "Master Fengyi, you are confusing right and wrong. Xin Ningru was lying on the bed with wounds all over her body, unable to stand up, and you said she wanted to murder your Dayu soldiers. How did she murder them?"
Hearing that Master Xinning was so seriously injured, the King of Xixia asked, "Marquis Xinyang, what happened to Xinning?"
"Your Majesty, Xin Ning was hung upside down on the street by this Fengyi Master a few nights ago and almost lost her life. I didn't want to destroy the peace between the two countries, so I didn't tell anyone about it. Master Fengyi, now that you are the evildoer and are the first to complain, don't you feel uneasy?"
Seeing that the Marquis of Xinyang was so excited, Su Chenyu said coldly: "If you feel wronged for your daughter and are unwilling to bear the humiliation, you should go to the King of Xixia one day and explain the matter clearly."
"Hey, then I want to ask you, why did you hurt my daughter like that?"
"Princess Xinning rode her horse in the street and almost injured someone from Dayu. After she learned our identities, she spoke wildly, showing her dissatisfaction with Dayu. She refused to apologize and wanted to capture us. Unfortunately, the people around her were incompetent and could not catch us, so she used a poison needle to plot against General Xinning. Shouldn't such a person be punished?"
At this point, Su Chenyu looked around and said, "Is it because I am new here that I don't understand the rules of your Xixia country? Can a princess ride a horse and hurt people?"
"Xinning has always been well-behaved, how could she do such a thing?" Xinyang Hou retorted dissatisfiedly.
Su Chenyu's expression became even colder. "I have sent people to investigate these past two days. Xin Ning has repeatedly injured people on horseback. The victims went to the government to file a complaint, but your government officials beat them away and threatened them not to tell anyone about it. These things should be easier for you to investigate than I can. Do you really not know, or do you not care at all?"
After asking this question, Marquis Xinyang was instantly speechless.
Su Chenyu looked at the King of Xixia who was sitting on the dragon throne: "King of Xixia, I came all the way to Xixia to celebrate my birthday, not to be humiliated. First, Master Feixu and then Princess Xinning were full of hostility towards us Dayu. If you really don't want us Dayu people to set foot on your land of Xixia, why did you write a letter to ask us to come here?"
No one thought that Su Chenyu would have the courage to question the King of Xixia in court, but she did it. At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Su Chenyu anymore.
Su Chenyu, standing in the center of the hall, had an even greater aura than the King of Western Xia sitting on the dragon throne. Every word and sentence she uttered seemed to carry an inspiring power.
Looking at Su Chenyu like this, King Xixia seemed to have hallucinations before his eyes. He remembered the battle between himself and Dayu.
Rong Zhen!
This was the man he would never forget. He was knocked off his horse by a single sword from Rong Zhen, and was later exchanged back for Xixia when the troops withdrew.
The humiliation that Rong Zhen brought to him seemed to be engraved in his soul. At this moment, Rong Zhen's daughter brought him the familiar yet strange humiliation.
Back then he was just a prince, but now he is an emperor, but he is still questioned by a junior in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. And in his own territory, he is unexpectedly suppressed by Su Chenyu.
"Feixu and Xinning are indeed a bit overbearing. I hope Master Fengyi won't mind." The King of Xixia tried hard to suppress his unhappiness.
Su Chenyu replied, "If this master minds what you said, he will turn around and leave when no one greets him at the gate of Xiajing. I am saying these words here today in the hope that the King of Xixia can see our Dayu's sincerity. This time I am only here to celebrate his birthday, not for anything else."
The ministers had thought of various scenarios that might have occurred when the envoy from Dayu met the King of Western Xia, but they had never imagined the current situation. This Lord Fengyi was indeed a powerful person.
At the same time, they cast their eyes on Li Yanqing who was standing beside Su Chenyu. They all felt that this prince consort was very pitiful. After marrying such a mistress, how could he have any freedom at all?
