Many days later.
"Your Highness, Baili Xuance has replied!"
Feng Jinyu took the letter from Xu Mo's hand, glanced through it quickly, and frowned.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty, what did Baili Xuance say?"
Feng Jinyu raised his eyes to look at him, "The Xirong royal family asked us in Beiyi to confer the title of King of a different surname on An Ge'er."
"Who? An Ge'er? The princess's adopted son, Master Su's eldest son?"
"That's right, Su Ning'an is Baili Qingluan's son!"
Xu Mo opened his mouth in shock, somewhat incredulous, "Is this a mistake? How is this possible?"
"I can't be wrong. If my guess is correct, Baili Qingluan discovered Ang'er, who had an amazing appetite, when she was fleeing from the Song family and passing through Huayang County. That's why Meng Gaoyang secretly investigated the Song family..."
"Wouldn't Su Xingyi's status then rise? Su Xingyi is An Ge'er's adoptive father. If anyone is to be crowned a king of a different surname, it has to be Su Xingyi."
"That's exactly what I'm thinking. I'm planning to ask for Su Xingyi to be granted the title of Prince of a different surname."
Only Su Xingyi, a prince, is worthy of Yu'er!
Xu Mo was overjoyed. By doing this, the prince had let go of his obsession.
It won’t be long before the prince will have his own princess.
"Your Majesty, can the Emperor grant the title of Prince to two princes of different surnames?"
"Go and tell Baili Xuance that I want to see him."
Baili Xuance received the news of Feng Jinyu's meeting and was arranging people to break ice and build a dungeon in the middle of the lake in the Dongfang family's mansion.
"How many days will it take to clean up Bixue Lake?"
"Your Highness, it will only take three days to clean up."
"Alright, we must complete the lake dungeon after spring!"
After Baili Xuance finished his instructions, he rushed to keep his appointment with Feng Jinyu.
"Feng Jinyu, you are so brave to come to Rongcheng!"
Baili Xuance lifted his robe and sat opposite Feng Jinyu. The personal bodyguard who came with him hurriedly handed him the hot tea he brought with him.
Feng Jinyu smiled upon seeing this, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Beiyi to be so cautious!"
Baili Xuance took a leisurely sip of his hot tea. "We're still on the brink of a war, so we have to be cautious. What? Are you dissatisfied with our terms?"
“I’m really dissatisfied!”
"Bang!"
Baili Xuance placed the teacup heavily on the table. "You said that with you in our hands, your emperor father would dare not agree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, both sides drew their swords almost at the same time.
Feng Jinyu raised his hand, and Xu Mo and others reluctantly put away their swords.
"Your appeal is missing one person, so naturally I am dissatisfied!"
"One person short?" Baili Xuance narrowed his eyes. "Our conditions aren't harsh. The Song family bullied my eldest sister, framed her, and provoked a war between the two countries. Sparing the Song family's lives is considered merciful. And this isn't just about the Song family. My eldest sister was humiliated in your Beiyi. Do you think you can just push the Song family out to take the blame and get away with it? How can you get away with it so easily?! It's only out of An Ge'er's face that we didn't continue the siege. If you don't agree, then we'll fight until you do!"
"Brother Xuan Ce, calm down. Your request is indeed not excessive, but do you only want An Ge'er to be crowned king?"
"What else could it be? My eldest nephew's adoptive parents are both in Beiyi. He can't possibly abandon his adoptive parents after returning to Xirong. He must have spent part of his life in Beiyi. How can he be an ordinary person in Beiyi?"
Feng Jinyu nodded, "You are right. An Ge'er can't be an ordinary person. His adoptive father is still a commoner with no official title or rank. His son is a prince and his wife is a princess. How can you make him feel?"
Baili Xuance suddenly realized something and said angrily, "Can't you just ask Su Xingyi to be crowned a king of a different surname? Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
"You won't listen to me finish my words!"
“You… bang!”
Baili Xuance slammed his hand on the table, spilling tea all over it. "You could just ask for a title for him directly. Why did you have to ask us to intervene? I heard that the princess was once your fiancée, and you, her ex-fiancé, are actually thinking of asking for a title of prince for your rival. You truly love Princess Xiao so deeply! You can't bear to see her marry a commoner."
Feng Jinyu lowered her eyes and sipped her tea quietly, as if she didn't hear what he said.
Baili Xuance felt that it was pitiful that he couldn't be with the one he loved, so he stopped teasing him.
"Alright, write back to your father, the Emperor. If they don't make kings, we, the Western Rong, won't withdraw our troops, won't return the city, and we'll continue our siege! And we can't lose any of our Western Rong royal family's property, and we'll demand double compensation. All the property confiscated from the Song family will belong to them and their son. Let them stay in the Song Mansion temporarily until spring. After spring, we'll send them all to Rong City, and then we'll take over and send them to Northwest Province..."
Three days later.
The sound of "800-li express" broke the morning tranquility of Beiyi Capital.
Old Madam Song was awakened by the sound and her heart began to pound.
The day has finally arrived!
"Report! The Cangnan bastard has arrived, urgently and urgently, after traveling a hundred miles!"
"Present it quickly!"
Emperor Qianyuan looked at the contents of the secret letter with a frown, but when he saw a certain part of the letter, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
OK!
The Baili family really gave him a surprise.
"Your Majesty, what do the Western Rong say? How can we withdraw our troops?"
snort!
Emperor Qianyuan casually slammed the secret letter onto the dragon table. "The Western Rong are truly going too far. Not only did they demand that I severely punish the Song family, they even went so far as to demand that I crown Baili Qingluan's son and that child's adoptive father as kings of a different surname before they would withdraw their troops!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell silent.
It only took two breaths before the generals came out to oppose!
"Your Majesty, since the Princess of Xirong didn't steal our military deployment map, then it's simply wishful thinking for Xirong to conquer Beiyi. Enthroning a child with half Xirong royal blood as a king of a different surname is a huge hidden danger. If he harbors ulterior motives in the future, it will surely lead to another bloody storm! I will fight back and recapture the captured city by force!"
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
"Your Majesty, you cannot fight!" Meng Gaoyang hurriedly stepped out.
"If we continue to fight, not only will we fail to recapture the city, but we will also lose more cities."
"Lord Meng, do you think we Beiyi can't defeat Xirong?"
Meng Gaoyang said, "Our Beiyi soldiers are certainly brave and skilled in battle, but if the Princess of Xirong, Baili Qingluan, personally takes the field, what chance do we have of victory? You generals should know that she is incredibly strong. A single blow from her would either kill or cripple us. What if her son is just as strong as her?"
Everyone gasped when they heard this!
Baili Qingluan is so terrifying, so wouldn't her son, who inherited her great strength, be even more terrifying?!
"Your Majesty, the Western Rong only captured five cities and did not continue the siege, seeking justice for Baili Qingluan. The Western Rong royal family requested that the child's adoptive father be granted the title of King of a different surname. This must have been the child's wish, proving that he is a grateful and filial child. His adoptive father is also a true Beiyi man. If the child truly has ambitions in the future, his adoptive father will definitely prevent such a thing from happening."
"Now that his adoptive father is gone, does that mean there's no one left to control him?!"
