Chapter 243 Princess Nanyu
The first thing I saw was Sipato's sturdy body slowly standing up.
Sipatu's face was pale, blood was oozing from his forehead, he was staring at Xiao Changheng, and he stood up straight.
The hearts of the people in Liang State sank.
"puff--"
Sparta spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately afterwards, crisp cracking sounds were heard, and the wrist guards on both of his arms and one of his shoulder guards suddenly collapsed!
Sipato fell to the ground with his face up!
Xiao Changheng didn't even look at him, turned around and walked off the stage.
With one sword, the outcome is decided!
The cheers of the Liang ministers suddenly rang out, and many people were already in tears!
“Win!”
"Your Highness the Regent wins!"
"One sword! Really just one sword!"
"The Regent is mighty!"
"My Daliang God of War has returned!"
Yuwen Ye narrowed his eyes and tapped his palm lightly with the jade fan, but his eyes were not on Xiao Changheng.
He fixed his gaze on the sidelines, looking at the woman who was taking out a medicine bottle and handing it to Yan Ning, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Until Xiao Changheng came to Yun Qingqing, took her hand and walked towards the throne.
The joints of Yuwen Ye's hand, which was holding the jade fan, turned a little white.
"Your Majesty, I am late for some reason. I hope you can forgive me." Xiao Changheng and Yun Qingqing bowed to the emperor.
The emperor's expression changed again and again, and finally he took a deep breath, hurriedly walked down the steps and came in front of the two people.
He grabbed Xiao Changheng's arm and looked him up and down several times, his voice trembling when he spoke:
"Royal brother...is your leg...really healed? I am not dreaming! There will be a day when I see you standing in front of me..."
Xiao Changheng's eyes flickered, and he supported the emperor and said softly:
"Yes, thanks to the princess, I have completely recovered. I have worried my brother over the past few years."
The emperor turned to look at Yun Qingqing and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay! Princess Regent has done a great job! Just ask for any reward you want! I will definitely satisfy you!"
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"I just did what I had to do, so there's no need for a reward."
Curing Xiao Changheng was a deal between her and him, so she would not accept any more rewards from the emperor.
Without waiting for the emperor to say anything else, she turned around and looked at Yuwen Ye and said:
"On the way here, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Li made a bet with His Majesty, using the structural diagram of the Ran family's mechanical crossbow as the prize. Now that the winner has been decided, shouldn't Prince Li fulfill his promise?"
Yuwen Ye looked at her solemnly for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile, returning to his previous calm and composed look.
He casually threw the scroll to his attendant and asked him to present it to the emperor, saying lazily:
"It's just a blueprint. I will not deny it if I lose the bet."
"But... I didn't expect that a woman with such ability would be the regent princess of Liang State. This really surprised me..."
He looked at Yun Qingqing meaningfully.
The emperor only thought that the "ability" he was talking about referred to her curing Xiao Changheng's leg, and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Yun Qingqing knew clearly that this person was alluding to her identity as the head of Tianming Pavilion. She just smiled slightly and said nothing more.
She had been low-key before because her spiritual power was too low when she first crossed over, and she tried not to cause trouble.
But now things are different. She no longer needs to hide her identity deliberately. She just follows her heart and lets everything take its course.
Yuwen Ye chuckled, but did not reveal anything. He stood up and bowed to the emperor casually:
"Today is really an eye-opener, but I am a little tired, so I will take my leave first!"
Relying on the support of the entire Beicang, he was very arrogant from beginning to end.
But the emperor not only won face, but also got a precious diagram of the Ran family's mechanical device. He was in a very good mood at the moment and laughed:
"Then Prince Li, please take your leave. If there are other competitions like this in the future, you are welcome to visit us at any time. I will definitely bring all the civil and military officials of Daliang to accompany you!"
The corners of Yu Wenye's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned around and left decisively.
When the ministers of Liang State saw Prince Li being humiliated and Sipatu, who was as strong as a mountain, being carried away by several followers, they finally felt relieved after holding back their energy for the whole morning. They were all very happy.
The Xilan envoy was not in such a good mood. Before, these people had been deliberately praising Beicang, but they were slapped in the face so quickly. They could not stay any longer.
The old Duke Qiu of Xilan was a man who could bend and stretch. He lowered his head politely and made an excuse, saying that he was old and not feeling well, and then he took his leave and returned to the Honglu Temple.
Several tribal envoys from the northwestern barbarians who had surrendered were not in a hurry to leave. They had to curry favor with the Emperor of Daliang. Prince Nanyu also had no intention of leaving, so they all followed him back to the main hall to resume the banquet.
During the banquet, a man suddenly stood up from Nanyu's seat, bowed to the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, Emperor Liang, in fact, the reason I came to visit you this time is to discuss something with Your Majesty."
The person who spoke was the Lin Zheng of the Imperial Observatory of Nanyu State and the deputy envoy of this trip, Chu Jingyan.
The emperor raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Yun Qingqing noticed that Prince Lu Fan, who was sitting next to Chu Jingyan, was slightly stunned and frowned silently.
Chu Jingyan waved behind him, and immediately a young woman in the team walked gracefully to the center of the venue.
The woman was dressed in southern clothes, revealing her slender white arms and soft waist. Her face was covered with a veil, but the veil was very light and transparent, and one could still tell that she had a bright and beautiful face.
Chu Jingyan said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I have been entrusted by the King of Nanyu to bring Princess Chao Mingyue here to discuss the marriage with Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qingqing clearly saw Lu Fan's expression change.
Apparently, Lu Fan, the Nanyu envoy, knew nothing about this so-called marriage!
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on Princess Mingyue.
