After a month of arduous negotiations, the peace agreement between the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Wushui was finally reached.
The Wushui Kingdom paid compensation to ransom the people, made peace with the Yu Kingdom, and promised not to invade again for ten years.
When the results of the peace negotiations were reported to the imperial court, Linghu Lan remained silent.
"Your Majesty, and Your Regent, during the peace negotiations, we followed Your Regent's orders and offered an exorbitant price. Our intention was to have the Wushui Kingdom exchange its third prince for him, but..." an old minister said slowly.
"But what?" Linghu Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Originally, the ministers of Wushui Kingdom had already agreed to the peace talks, but later, after receiving an imperial edict from the King of Wushui Kingdom, they changed their minds. It is said that the seventh prince of Wushui Kingdom threatened to kill himself to protect Jiang Xinwei."
Linghu Lan: "..."
wipe!
The female lead's luck is truly beyond belief.
Every man she meets falls in love with her at first sight and becomes devoted to her through thick and thin.
I'm so annoyed, but I still have to keep smiling.
"The seventh prince of Wushui Kingdom is the son of Feng Jun, and he must be loved by the king of Wushui Kingdom. This time, for the sake of the seventh prince, Wushui Kingdom is willing to spend a lot of money rather than exchange Jiang Xinwei. However, if Jiang Xinwei stays in Wushui Kingdom, she will always be a major threat to Yu Kingdom."
"Yes! I know!" Linghu Lan nodded, looking quite helpless.
"Furthermore, for the sake of peace between the two countries, the King of Wushui Kingdom wishes to establish a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Yu. I wonder what the Regent thinks?"
Linghu Lan smiled.
Another marriage alliance.
"Whom did the Wushui Kingdom send to marry into their kingdom?"
The ministers: "..." Can she even marry into the family?
"His Majesty is young. If the Regent is willing to marry him, it is estimated that the Wushui Kingdom would be willing to let its prince marry into the kingdom."
Linghu Lan almost choked.
They brought this on themselves.
"To not establish diplomatic relations between the two countries through marriage and instead base them on a single man is far too unrealistic and humiliating, and should not be mentioned again!"
"Your Majesty, please think it over. Although that is true, there is the ancient story of Emperor Qingning's marriage alliance, which ensured the peace and stability of the two countries for more than fifty years. It can be seen that marriage alliances are beneficial to the country and the people."
"I agree with what Minister Li said."
"I second that proposal!"
Linghu Lan was speechless for a moment, and could only make up a vague statement.
"This matter will be discussed later. Court is adjourned!"
The ministers sighed, shook their heads, and left in twos and threes.
They do not agree with the idea of not engaging in marriage alliances.
However, unable to dissuade the regent, she had no choice but to leave with her worries.
...
Auxiliary main hall.
Linghu Lan was having a meal when a palace servant hurriedly presented her with a secret letter.
The palace maid beside her opened the letter.
Linghu Lan glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh.
"pass!"
She stopped eating and sat in the chair with an air of superiority.
Not long after.
The two people were brought up.
"Your subject, Tingyu, pays his respects to the Regent. May the Regent live a thousand years!"
"Get up!"
"The sinner Xiao Ling pays his respects to the Regent."
"Rise!"
These two were none other than Tingyu and Xiaoling.
Xiao Ling looked up and saw Regent Jiang Yun, who was rumored to have confiscated property and exterminated clans, and was known for killing people without hesitation.
His eyes lit up, amazed by Linghu Lan's remarkable character.
The light in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a sorrowful and dim expression, his heart ashen.
Linghu Lan looked at Xiao Ling.
After fighting for so long, this is the first time I've actually seen the male lead.
Xiao Ling had a handsome face. Although she wasn't naturally beautiful, she possessed a natural elegance that made people feel comfortable and at ease.
"Young Master Xiao, seeing is believing. How have you been?"
Xiao Ling was very uncomfortable with this familiar tone. He glanced at Ting Yu and said coldly:
"The Regent knows perfectly well what kind of person Xiao is."
