Chapter 217: I'm convinced
Xu Mei'er stopped crying this time. Seeing Bailitao being criticized, she quickly came to his aid: "Brother Tao, my brother has been deceived by these people. He doesn't believe us at all and has been helping outsiders."
"So that's how it is."
Bailitao showed an expression of understanding, and then said to An Yunhe with a serious look: "Cousin, you grew up in Beiling Kingdom since you were a child. I understand that you would speak for them, but you are the prince of my Nanqi Kingdom after all, with a noble status and bloodline. The emperor ordered me to take you back. When you go back, you will know how vicious these people are."
An Yunhe chuckled, "Those who secretly monitored me have all confessed. I was abandoned in this Beiling Kingdom, wasn't I?"
If the current emperor of Nanqi Kingdom could have another bloodline, he believed that he might never return to Nanqi in his life.
There is no such thing as a deep father-son relationship, but it's all about interests.
His mother died in Beiling in childbirth. During the most difficult times, his father did not take him back, let alone now?
Because he had no successor and was worried that someone intended to shake his throne, he was anxious to take him back to the country, make him the crown prince, and then stop the gossip of others.
He knew everything.
Bailitao's smile was a little stiff: "Cousin, you and I are relatives. You come back with me. The emperor had many difficulties back then."
An Yunhe raised his hand to stop him from saying the next word.
"Difficulties? If you let me go back, it's okay. Just nod the regent king."
Ling Fengyan glanced at An Yunhe and was very satisfied with what he said.
In this way, the initiative is completely in the Beiling Kingdom.
"Cousin, you..."
Bailitao's face flushed with anger, "By the way, Mei'er came to Beiling at the risk of her life just to find you. Now she is your sister, and you just watch her get bullied?"
An Yunhe sneered, "I only have one sister, but it's not her."
When Xu Mei'er heard this, the jealousy in her heart seemed to be about to overflow.
She heard who the sister An Yunhe was talking about was.
Isn't it the eldest daughter of the An family, the current Regent Princess?
This An Yunxi is actually protected by so many people. No wonder nothing happened to her after so many years.
Xu Meir pulled Bailitao's sleeves, her eyes were full of mist, but she pretended to swallow all the grievances and said: "Brother Tao, this is Beiling Country. Meir doesn't want you to get into trouble. My brother will not help us. You must be careful when you speak and act, otherwise you will definitely be beaten to death like Meir."
"They dare!"
Bailitao was furious, and his expression was slightly distorted.
When he thought of how Meir's sister was beaten here, he hated her so much that his teeth itched.
"If they touch us again, the emperor will definitely lead his troops northwards and won't give them the slightest chance!"
Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"Come here, this man is disrespectful to the emperor and speaks big words, drag him away and give him fifty lashes!"
Ling Fengxun gave an order and someone rushed in from the door.
Ling Changyue was startled and stood up from his chair almost instantly, then looked at Ling Fengxun and said, "Uncle, by doing this, aren't you really going to start a war between the two countries?"
Ling Fengxun stood with his hands behind his back, the figure was tall and slender, and the momentum was amazing.
He raised the corner of his lips and said, "Why? Only the envoys of the Southern Qi Kingdom are allowed to act wildly in my Beiling Palace, but I am not allowed to fight back?"
"But..." Ling Changyue's lips turned pale.
The key point is that Ling Fengxun wanted to hit someone just now, and the excuse he found was disrespect for him!
If a war really breaks out, won't he, the emperor, have to take the blame?
After all, if a war really breaks out, the people will definitely think that only the emperor can decide whether to fight or not, and he really doesn't want to fight! Moreover
, what if he loses?
I'm afraid it will be recorded in the history books that the whole country was destroyed in the hands of him, the emperor!
Ling Fengxun didn't care about Ling Changyue's mood at all, and said slowly: "After the fight, throw him out of the imperial city and let him go back to tell the emperor of Nanqi that if he wants their prince to return alive, he should give ten cities to Beiling, otherwise, I will personally send troops to the south."
When the ministers heard that Ling Fengxun was going to lead the troops himself, some of them who wanted to persuade him were instantly silent.
Bailitao panicked when he saw that Ling Fengxun was really going to beat him.
He was a prince, and he had never tasted the taste of a stick in his life, let alone fifty sticks.
He would definitely be beaten to death!
"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!"
Xu Meir was also shocked. This Prince must be crazy!
"Your Highness, please calm down. My cousin is upright and offended you by accident. But he really did not mean to do it. Please forgive my brother for his disrespect!"
She was honest this time and immediately came forward to salute Ling Fengxun.
However, seeing that Ling Fengxun was still standing there without saying a word and indifferent, and seeing that Bailitao was about to be taken out of the door, Xu Meir was extremely panicked: "It is not a good thing for the two countries to go to war. Please think twice. My cousin has already known that he was wrong!"
She reminded loudly.
At this moment, Bailitao reacted. In order to avoid being beaten, he also shouted: "I beg the Emperor of Beiling and the Prince Regent to show mercy. I was wrong, I was wrong."
He shouted several times in a row.
The envoys of the Southern Qi Kingdom also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
When Ling Changyue saw this scene, his face showed shock.
He thought that this matter had reached an irreversible point. If this prince was beaten, a war between the two countries would be inevitable.
Could there be a sudden turn of events, and let the arrogant prince surrender?
Ling Fengxun raised his hand.
The guards who grabbed Bailitao let go, but Bailitao's legs were a little weak and he almost fell to the ground.
His face was a mixture of blue and white, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Ling Fengxun.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that a good man should not suffer a loss in front of him. He should speak nicely and not play any tricks.
Xu Meir hurriedly walked to his side and helped him back to the chair with another guard of Southern Qi.
Otherwise, he would definitely fall to the ground, which would be very embarrassing.
"Brother Tao, are you okay?"
Baili Tao seemed to have come back to his senses, with cold sweat all over his forehead. He saluted Ling Changyue with his fists, but did not dare to look at Ling Fengxun's expression. His tone was obviously many times more polite than before.
"We are just messengers delivering messages. I was inappropriate before. This is a letter sent by the emperor of our country. Please ask the regent to take a look."
This time, he finally knew who was in charge here.
