Chapter 678 The Man in Black Outside the Hall
Those words he just said were originally directed at this little woman. He thought that even if he couldn't succeed, he could still humiliate her verbally.
After all, she is a woman.
Besides, don’t the women of Yan Country adhere to the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?
His words should have made this woman unable to lift her head, but not only did she lift her head, she also walked in front of him, looked into his eyes, and talked to him.
Even—
Nan Yan said calmly: "I said, you are not worthy of me calling you."
"you--"
Ashige's vinegar-jar-sized fist clenched tightly, and his knuckles cracked.
At this time, Arslan took another step forward and stood in front of Nan Yan.
If we want to take action, I'm afraid we really have to - take action.
Nan Yan stared into his eyes without fear and said calmly, "Humans, as human beings, are different from animals because they know shame, act with moderation, and speak with reason."
“…”
"And you, as the king of the Neng Kingdom, speak in a vulgar manner and have even more filthy thoughts!"
“…”
"How dare such a person, no different from an animal, say that he has his country in his heart?"
“…”
"If you have your country in your heart, you should be loyal to your subjects. However, your emperor is on good terms with our Yan State, yet you secretly sent troops to attack Yan State. Sending troops is bad, but you were defeated. Returning with a crushing defeat is bad, but you still refuse to repent."
“…”
"Not only have you violated the diplomatic relations between the two countries, you have also disobeyed the Emperor!"
“…”
"With a king like you, the country is in imminent danger!"
Her words not only scolded Ashige personally, but also attacked him and even provoked the relationship between him and the emperor. Ashige's face became more and more ugly, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
But Arslan always stood before him.
Ashige said, "Get out of my way!"
Arslan said expressionlessly: "No."
At this moment, Monk's gentle voice was heard from above the hall.
"You two, please be patient."
The two people raised their heads and looked at him.
Monk stood in the hall. Although the atmosphere below was tense, the slight smile on the corner of his mouth made him exude a gentle aura.
It seemed like the atmosphere changed all of a sudden.
Although, he is not as fierce as Ashig, nor as sharp as Arslan, he should have no sense of existence in front of these two people.
But for some reason, his aura was very noticeable.
Nan Yan subconsciously looked up at him, only to see him say with a serious face, "Prince Beili, today's banquet is a state banquet I'm hosting for the concubine of Yan Nation. You really shouldn't say such things."
When Ashige heard that he was blaming himself, his eyes suddenly turned red.
His breath sank, and he was about to say something.
Monk then said, "Besides, do you know the true identity of this Yan Kingdom concubine?"
"Real identity?"
Ashige frowned and said in a deep voice, "Isn't she just a concubine of Yan Country? What other status does she have?"
When Nan Yan heard Monk's words, her heart skipped a beat.
Monk said calmly, "She might be the child of my missing aunt, Princess Tana."
"What?!"
Ashiger lost his voice.
Not only him, but everyone around him was horrified. Some people couldn't even hold the wine glasses in their hands, and they fell to the ground with a clang.
But at this time, no one cared about being disrespectful in front of the emperor.
All of a sudden, dozens or even hundreds of eyes in the hall all looked at Nan Yan.
Even more scorching than when she appeared in the hall just now.
Nan Yan didn't expect that Monk would actually tell this matter. Isn't this matter still not confirmed?
Why did he announce it?
Axige stared at Nan Yan with wide eyes and said, "Are you serious? Is she really——"
Monk said, "You can ask King Nanli about this matter."
“…”
"King Nanli brought her back from Yan Country."
When Ashig heard this, he immediately looked up at Arslan. Arslan was probably a little surprised that Monk would announce Nan Yan's unconfirmed identity in public, and at a state banquet.
But he quickly said, "That's right."
“…”
"After extensive investigation, we have concluded that this Yan Kingdom's concubine is indeed the child of our missing aunt, Princess Tana."
“…”
"so--"
He stared at King Beili and said in a deep voice, "Ashige, are you going to do anything else to her?"
This time, Ashiq was speechless.
He is the son of the eldest princess of the Neng Kingdom. If Si Nanyan is the daughter of Princess Tana, then they are cousins.
More importantly—
A gleam flashed in Ashig's eyes.
Jade seal!
Everyone knows that Princess Tana’s disappearance is related to the imperial seal.
Before, he sent troops to Peking, including secretly finding out that Monk and Arslan had made friends with the Yan State, all in order to retrieve the imperial seal.
And now, the clue to the jade seal is right in front of them!
Alive!
After a moment of silence, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Is she really Princess Tana's daughter?"
“…”
"What can you prove?"
"Right now, it can't be fully proven," Monk said.
“…”
"Therefore, I left this concubine in Kulun City to wait for the wizard to return."
Upon hearing this, Ashiger understood: "Your Majesty the Emperor wants a wizard to use secret techniques to determine her bloodline?"
"That's right."
"If the wizard comes back and determines that her bloodline is that of Princess Tana's child—"
When he said this, a red light flashed in Ashig's eyes.
The flame of desire and thirst for power suddenly burned in his body, even making his blood boil.
Monk said calmly: "Then she is the royal family of our Neng Kingdom."
“…”
Compared to Ashig whose eyes were about to turn red, he was very calm.
Ashige took a deep breath and turned to look at Nan Yan.
After a while, he snorted coldly and said, "Okay."
“…”
"This king will wait for the wizard to return and get to the bottom of this matter."
After saying this, he bowed to Monk on the platform and said, "Your Majesty, I am leaving now."
"Will King Beili not stay?"
"No need."
King Beili was not polite to the emperor at all. He turned around and walked out of the hall.
Like a hurricane passing through, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief. After all, every time the King of Beili appeared and fought with the King of Nanli, it was not so easy to resolve.
At this time, Nan Yan raised her head and looked outside.
Although it was completely dark, the lanterns under the eaves barely illuminated the area outside the hall.
A man was standing there, waiting for King Beili.
