"You!" Prince Tiantian's eyes had lost all tenderness; his gaze towards Gu Xin was filled with malice.
"Trying to kill me?" Gu Xin smiled cruelly, then bent her knee and kicked Prince Tiantian in the stomach. "You think you're worthy?"
"Pfft!" Prince Tiantian spat out another mouthful of blood.
The atmosphere in the main hall was no longer as agitated as before; everyone was quiet now, wondering when it would end.
This was the first time in their lives they had ever witnessed such a scene. The guests had traveled a great distance to visit, and the host seemed ready to beat them to death, even though the guests were quite deserving of a beating.
The Empress tugged at the Emperor's sleeve, indicating that it was enough. If things continued like this, Prince Tiantian would die, which would be bad for Xinxin's reputation.
The emperor patted the empress's hand, telling her to calm down.
How could I let my niece suffer a loss?
However, before the emperor could call a halt, Dong Zhe's envoy shouted for a stop and led his men forward, attempting to snatch Prince Tian Tian from Gu Xin's hands.
Gu Xin easily pulled the person aside, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't your Dongzhe under the command of Prince Tiantian? Does this gentleman have the final say? Don't be punished by your prince when you return to the embassy."
The envoy glared at Gu Xin with hatred: "Princess Xin Xin, you've beaten our eldest prince so badly he can't speak. How do you expect him to make decisions?"
Gu Xin smiled, a smile that, to others, was like that of a fairy, but to the people of Dongzhe, it was a demon, utterly despicable.
Gu Xin said, "He can still move, can't he? I asked him just now if he would admit defeat. The eldest prince is very proud and refused to admit defeat. I'm just going along with my guest's wishes!"
The envoy pointed at Gu Xin: "You, you're just making excuses!"
Gu Xin laughed: "Oh, you've even learned some idioms from our Great Zhou! You've got potential. What's your official position in Dongzhe? Why don't you come to Great Zhou to develop your career? You have such a strong learning ability."
The people of Da Zhou were amused after hearing the translation. Was their Princess Xin Xin really going to drive them crazy?
Prince Tian Tian almost fainted; that damned woman.
He was truly a man of principle, resolutely refusing to admit defeat. He simply refused to believe that the Emperor of Great Zhou would stand by and watch him be beaten to death by Gu Xin.
The emperor wanted to, but he really couldn't.
He cleared his throat, took a sip of water, and said slowly, "Xinxin, why don't you hurry up and hand Prince Tiantian over to the envoy? Aren't you tired of carrying him?"
Dong Zhe's messenger translated the first sentence directly, but dared not translate the second sentence, fearing it would infuriate his prince and envoy.
Gu Xin: "Oh, alright! I am a little tired, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, she released the person without hesitation. Dong Zhe's people didn't expect her to release him so easily. Before they could react, their prince fell to the ground.
The emperor shook his head: "Summon the imperial physician. Quickly have him examine Prince Tiantian and determine what precious medicinal herbs are needed. Don't be stingy."
The messenger translated these words to Prince Tian and the envoy, which at least made them feel a little better.
The imperial physician was on standby at all times. After the examination, there was nothing seriously wrong, just a lot of external injuries. The internal injuries would be fine after taking some medicine and resting for two or three days.
Just then, Princess Nanlin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Princess Xinxin of your country is skilled in medicine. Why don't you let Princess Xinxin take a look at Prince Tiantian's injury? Perhaps the prince can recover faster!"
