As soon as the emperor, the imperial concubine, the third prince, and others at the head of the table realized something was wrong, they ran towards Jing Le.
Even the emperor didn't think of having shadow guards.
They completely forgot about their own safety.
Some timid women had already closed their eyes, as if they couldn't bear to see the bloody scene.
"Oh no, oh no, Princess Anle isn't going to die like this, is she...?"
"No! Such a bloody scene, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I see it... Waaah..."
This was the gasp of surprise from the women's side.
"This is terrible, His Majesty's newly appointed princess is about to be lost..."
"If it's gone, it's gone. Isn't this better? Now no one will be vying for Princess Jiayue's favor..."
"That's true, but I wonder what Master Wu will do when he finds out Princess Anle is dead..."
This was the idea of the officials of the Dayong Dynasty.
Other countries were also taken aback by this reversal, with only one person managing a smile.
That's the one who started all of this—
Envoy from the South!
If you want our country's iron ore, you always have to pay a price!
Princess Anle's life can be spared!
As for Duan Feibai?!
Hmph! A crown prince of a fallen kingdom, and a mere five-year-old child! If Emperor Jing wants to make an explanation, then just give him Duan Feibai.
As for the Southern Kingdom?
Emperor Jing would likely not mobilize a large army to attack the Southern Kingdom and jeopardize the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Even if Emperor Jing were willing, the ministers of Dayong would not agree.
A large portion of the ironware in Dayong came from the southern kingdoms.
Therefore, he felt emboldened and fearless.
Everyone thought Jing Le was about to be stabbed by Duan Feibai, but the protagonist whom everyone was worried about remained very calm.
She is not like she was when she first transmigrated, when she had no spiritual energy and couldn't even move a person.
Having already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, her strength was far beyond what ordinary mortals like them could match.
Duan Feibai's movements appeared to her as if in slow motion; she watched calmly without even blinking.
Everyone held their breath as the dagger reached them.
"Ding-dong!"
A metallic clanging sound rang out, pulling everyone back to reality.
He stared wide-eyed at the center of the main hall.
Um? !
Princess Anle is not dead?
Her fingers had somehow managed to trap the dagger.
What exactly happened just now?
Several questions lingered in everyone's minds, but the envoy from the Southern Kingdom remained frozen in place.
His calculating eyes were now filled with shock.
Impossible! How could that be?
She was just a three-year-old child, how could she possibly withstand Duan Feibai?
The technique Duan Feibai possesses is a secret art known to few in the Southern Kingdom. Just now, to be on the safe side, a secret technique was placed on him.
He was certain that Duan Feibai was completely under control at this moment, and his ferocity was such that even an adult man could not match him.
Yet the scene before my eyes felt so real.
The envoy from the Southern Kingdom felt a surge of panic. He seemed to have discovered something: this Princess Anle was probably a monster, which was why Emperor Jing doted on her so much.
No one knew what the envoy from the South was thinking; everyone was watching Jing Le and Duan Feibai.
Emperor Jing and his entourage also came to Jing Le's side, feeling slightly relieved.
Thankfully, Lele is alright.
"Lele, are you alright?"
Emperor Jing and his entourage knew that Jing Le was capable, but when everything happened, they were still worried.
None of the many princes and princesses before had given Emperor Jing this feeling; only Jing Le was special.
The Imperial Concubine looked at Jing Le with red eyes. If the situation hadn't prevented it, she would have wanted to hug her daughter, whom she had lost and found again, right away.
"I'm fine, he's the one who's in trouble."
Jing Le saw the genuine worry in the eyes of the Emperor and the Consort, and was deeply moved.
Are these people worried about her? I haven't felt this way in a long time since my master and senior brother ascended to heaven.
She came here by accident, and her main purpose was to complete her mission. She couldn't quite describe her feelings towards these people.
I see myself as a passerby and don't want to get too involved with the people in this world.
But she forgot that from the moment she came into this world, she was already entangled with it.
When you're in the situation, your feelings will change, just like now.
Her heart had quietly changed, and at this moment she sincerely hoped that she could rewrite the fate of Emperor Jing and the others, so that this world could survive.
It feels nice to be cared for; because of you all, I'm starting to like this world a little more.
His eyes, no longer indifferent, held a newfound determination as he whispered to Emperor Jing:
"Father, Duan Feibai has been taken hostage. I suspect it's an envoy from the Southern Kingdom." He continued, "..."
"I must save him, and his sister is at an inn outside the palace; send someone to rescue her too..."
"Alright, I'll send someone right away. Leave the rest to me."
Emperor Jing understood what Jing Le meant, and his eyes darkened.
Envoy from the South, very well, you dare to make a move in the palace, you're tired of living.
"What is the meaning of this from the Southern Kingdom? Are you planning to assassinate the Princess of Dayong through a contest? Are you trying to provoke a war between our two countries?"
Emperor Jing exuded an aura of authority, his majestic gaze filled with coldness, and his tone radiating domineering power.
It seemed that as soon as the envoy from the Southern Kingdom said that they intended to provoke a war between the two countries, he would immediately send people to raze the Southern Kingdom to the ground.
This imposing manner indeed intimidated the other nations, who all secretly cursed the Southern people for stirring up trouble and worried that they might be implicated.
Jing Le was deeply impressed that the Emperor could elevate the matter to the level of peace between nations with just a few words.
[Father was truly amazing. If he hadn't been controlled by others in the end, listened to slander, and wrongly killed loyal officials, he wouldn't have died suddenly. Those enemy states that coveted the Great Yong Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.]
Emperor: I won't go that far, Lele, don't worry.
