Chapter 256 Are you sick or am I wrong?

Mu Nanzhou got off the carriage first. Xu Yanyi stared at his back for a while. Mu Nanzhou turned around and held out his hand to her: "Come down. I'll hold you so you won't fall."

Damn it!

This...is this still Mu Nanzhou?

Xu Yanyi just felt confused. Mu Nanzhou curled his lips slightly, held her hand with his big hand and pulled her down gently.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness... Your Highness the Princess."

The eunuchs waiting at the palace gate hurried forward to greet them.

The Grand Tutor and his entourage had already gotten off the carriage and were standing on the side, waiting with ill intentions.

Mu Nanzhou held Xu Yanyi's hand tightly, and Xu Yanyi couldn't shake it off. Mu Nanzhou lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "Ashi Naye is watching you, you should at least be affectionate, otherwise he will have a seizure."

“…”

Xu Yanyi swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Mu Nanzhou was still somewhat suspicious.

Mu Nanzhou let her look at him with a smile on his lips, which made Xu Yanyi puzzled. Why did this guy look so happy? But what was he happy about?

"Your Highness, you are fine. That's great. You don't know how worried the Queen Mother and the Emperor were when the news reached the palace."

The eunuch who led the way whispered beside them.

Xu Yanyi glanced at the people of the Grand Tutor and said bluntly: "The rumor that the prince was in trouble spread so quickly, I didn't even know about it, but the palace knew about it. The Grand Tutor also brought a bunch of people with him. People who didn't know would think that he was going to punish him. But how come the news that the prince was fine spread so slowly in the palace?"

The eunuch choked and pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "This... this is not too late to know now. After all, it is a good thing for Bei Qin that the prince is safe and sound."

Xu Yanyi snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to him.

However, Mu Nanzhou suddenly reached out his hand to block the branch that was about to hit her head, which was unusual for her.

Good fellow.

How did this thing change so quickly?

Xu Yanyi frowned, feeling very puzzled.

The Yangxin Palace is just ahead.

The eunuch announced in a shrill voice: "Prince Nanling has arrived, the princess has arrived, the Grand Tutor has arrived, the Secretary of State has arrived..."

After a long list of names was read out, Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi had already entered the inner room of the Yangxin Palace and saluted in unison.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were playing chess there. Upon hearing the announcement, the Queen Mother put down the chess piece in her hand and turned her gaze towards Mu Nanzhou. The scrutiny in her eyes was very obvious, and the Queen Mother did not try to hide it.

The little emperor stood up and trotted over, looking very nervous: "Prince Nanling, when I heard the news, I was shocked and scared. Now I am glad to see that you are fine."

Mu Nanzhou stretched out his hand and emptied his hand to support the little emperor. He said with a smile, "How could this prince die so easily? Your Majesty should not listen to those rumors. You should work hard to govern the country and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Before the little emperor could say anything, a hearty laugh came from outside: "Prince Nanling is not only fine, but he looks even better than before. Just now, he alone knocked down more than 20 of the Khan's guards. He was really powerful."

The person who came was Ashinaye who had just come.

Xu Yanyi couldn't help but complain in her heart. This person was really haunting. She hated the back part just by looking at the front part.

Just as Xu Yanyi was thinking this, she heard the Queen Mother speak: "King Xiedan Khan has come from afar, which is a happy event. Now King Nanling is also safe and sound, which is even more joyous. Emperor, I'm afraid the banquet will have to last for three days and three nights."

As soon as these words were spoken, a bunch of people including the Grand Tutor echoed them like sycophants.

"Yes, it's a happy event so we should celebrate it."

"Xie Dan and I, Bei Qin, have always been good friends, and now we can be even better."

"With the Empress Dowager's Fengyi ruling the world and the Emperor's Dragon-like power shaking the heavens, our Northern Qin will naturally get better and better."

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes. These people were as shameless as city walls!

King Xiedan glanced at Xu Yanyi and said directly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have come here in advance just to marry the princess. This is a little gift from me, Xiedan, and it can be regarded as the dowry for marrying the princess. Come on, present it!"

After saying this, King Xiedan Khan handed over a sealed paper roll in his hand.

Xu Yanyi stared at the dark progress bar above his head and frowned in disdain.

The little emperor took the paper, opened it and took a look at it. His expression changed slightly. He did not dare to make a decision on his own and quickly handed the paper to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother took a look and was slightly surprised: "King Khan, are you going to give these three cities of Xiedan to Northern Qin?"

"That's right. If it's not enough, you can add more."

King Xiedan Khan looked completely indifferent, as if to say that this was just the distribution of meat and it was not something very important and he didn't need to care about it at all.

Xu Yanyi and Mu Nanzhou looked at each other, both of them were a little confused. Was King Xiedan Khan crazy? He was willing to exchange a city for a wife. Was it okay to lose power and humiliate the country like this?

If Xu Yanyi hadn't seen the dark progress bar above his head and knew that he was a scumbag, Xu Yanyi might have believed this man's sincerity. Otherwise, who would give up the country's land just to marry a wife?

The Queen Mother put the paper down and said, "I see the Khan's sincerity, but Princess Nanling is already married. Even if the Khan wants to..."

Xiedan Khan raised his hand and interrupted the Queen Mother: "This is simple. The divorce letter written by the eldest princess is known to everyone in you Northern Qin. I heard that the Nanling King disagreed because it was missing a golden seal. In this case, I will ask the Queen Mother to return the golden seal bestowed by the late emperor to the Nanling King's wife and let her stamp the golden seal on the divorce letter. Isn't this legitimate?"

Hearing this, the Grand Tutor spoke again: "The Khan is right about this matter. Since the Princess wants to sever her ties with the Prince of Nanling, then..."

"Who said that I want to sever my relationship with the prince? I made it very clear at the time. I was afraid that Li Qiu'er would use her magic to influence the prince, and then influence me, harming the queen mother and the emperor, and even Beiqin, so I had to write a letter of divorce. Now Li Qiu'er is still imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and the Nanling Palace is still under exorcism. The prince treats me... like a jewel and a treasure. There is no reason to divorce, right, prince?"

Xu Yanyi smiled and her words sounded very sincere. If you didn't know her, you would think she really meant it.

Even Mu Nanzhou beside her looked at her again: "Well, the princess is right."

King Xiedan Khan's expression changed, and he was obviously a little angry: "Princess Nanling! You have rejected me again and again, do you think highly of me?"

"Yes, of course the one I like is my husband. Who do you think you are? I already have a husband, but you want me to remarry. Are you sick or am I mistaken?"

Xu Yanyi spoke suddenly, and everyone present gasped.
