"You're waiting for me here, not just to ask me if I've eaten, right?" After having enough fun, An Tingyu gathered her thoughts and asked lightly.
"The Emperor wants to see you."
"The Emperor? The Eastern Emperor of Yuyan?" An Tingyu pondered secretly, "I heard that he is a little... strange. Is this true?"
The emperor of Yuyan Kingdom, known as the Eastern Emperor, was rumored to be eccentric. He did not like to sleep in his own bedroom, and he built a mausoleum underground in the palace and lived in it. Of course, this was only a rumor in unofficial history and had not been confirmed, but An Tingyu was somewhat interested in such rumors.
Mo Youcan raised his eyebrows lazily and said with a smile: "Why don't you just tell me that the emperor of our dynasty has some special hobbies?"
"So it's true?" An Tingyu's eyes lit up. "What is the imperial mausoleum he lives in like? Does he sleep in a coffin?"
Hearing this, Mo Youcan rolled his eyes. "The emperor of our dynasty is not dead yet, why would he sleep in a coffin for no reason? Although this is the imperial mausoleum, he still sleeps on the dragon bed. This I can guarantee."
"Tsk~" An Tingyu suddenly felt bored and waved her hands, "I thought he slept in a coffin! He slept in the imperial mausoleum, why doesn't he sleep in a coffin? That would be so boring."
I heard that people who sleep in coffins are vampires, but that's just a myth. I wondered if I could encounter real vampires in this ancient world, and I was tempted, but alas! It's just too normal. If the East Emperor was crazy enough, he would definitely order a coffin as well.
"It sounds to me like you're desperately hoping our emperor will actually sleep in a coffin? Wouldn't that be unlucky?" Mo Youcan chuckled helplessly. What on earth was going on in this woman's mind? Sleeping in an imperial mausoleum was just a new tomb, but sleeping in a coffin was a far cry from sleeping in one. Coffins were traditionally only slept in by the dead, but imperial mausoleums were different because they had palaces guarding the tombs.
"Superstitious," An Tingyu rolled her eyes at him. "Why aren't vampires afraid of sleeping in coffins? They sleep in them every day, and they still live for a thousand years."
"Vampire?" What is that? Mo Youcan wanted to ask, but then he thought, anything with the word "ghost" in it must be a fairy tale, so he just said, "Have you read too many ghost books?"
An Tingyu lay on the table and pouted, "I won't talk nonsense with you. You don't understand anyway."
In this world, there is probably no one who can fully understand what she says, especially when she speaks English. Everyone must be like Feng Beijian, who just keeps chopping with all his might. It is completely like the bull's head does not match the horse's mouth.
"Are you going or not?"
"Do I still have a choice?" An Tingyu raised her eyebrows.
Mo Youcan was silent for a while, then said, "No!"
"That's it. Once you're in the world, you have no choice. When you're in another place, you have to respect the gods and ghosts." Since she was in someone else's territory and she didn't want to see blood, obedience was her only choice.
The imperial palace of the Yuyan Kingdom... no, it's the imperial mausoleum. It is a luxurious mausoleum with magnificent architecture and mechanisms everywhere. The entire mausoleum is like an underground palace. The only difference is that there is a spirit tablet in the imperial mausoleum, except for the name written on it.
Sitting in the dragon throne, the Eastern Emperor looked down at An Tingyu. Seeing her stunningly beautiful face, he said lightly, "She is truly a beauty of heavenly beauty. No wonder the Remnant King proposed peace talks between the two dynasties. It seems the ancient saying is absolutely true: women are the source of trouble."
"Then men are the root of the trouble." Without thinking, An Tingyu replied sarcastically.
Women are the root of trouble?
What a bullshit theory. If men don't act like servile themselves, will it give women the opportunity to cause trouble?
The relationship between men and women is a matter of two hands, and one hand cannot clap, so she hates men who push all problems onto women the most.
"Miss An, you are now in Yuyan Country. Please remember where you are." Dongdi's words were clearly a threat. However, An Tingyu, who never took such a tactic, simply smiled coldly. "Where is the mirror within the mirror? Dongdi, please also see clearly whether you are in the mirror. Don't forget that your country still has troops in our hands. If we really have to fight, one man for ten thousand soldiers is worth it!"
"Humph, what a sharp-tongued woman! It seems that all the people of Dragon Flame Nation are just like you, so arrogant and presumptuous."
"Your Majesty," Mo Youcan, who had been standing beside him, raised his hands and called out, "Miss An has been ignorant since childhood and only woke up a year ago. She is not aware of the grievances between the two countries, so..."
Hearing this, the Eastern Emperor narrowed his sharp eyes slightly and looked at Mo Youcan coldly, "You're already leaning towards her before you even marry her? Isn't it okay for me to say a few words to her?"
"emperor……"
The Eastern Emperor shot another sharp look at him. Mo Youcan opened his lips but closed them helplessly.
The Eastern Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Miss An, the Remnant King has proposed that you remain in Yuyan as a hostage and become his princess to maintain peace between the two countries. Do you agree?"
"Dongdi, before answering the question, I would like to ask a question first."
The Eastern Emperor looked at her in silence. An Tingyu didn't give him a chance to answer. She continued, "I don't understand who's right and who's wrong between the two countries. I don't think anyone can truly tell. With the borders entangled, it's difficult to distinguish right from wrong. I just want to ask, is your country truly sincere about calling for a ceasefire?"
"Are you doubting my sincerity?" The East Emperor's sharp eyes turned a little colder, and he was very unhappy with An Tingyu's suspicion.
"No, I understand the East Emperor's intentions. You've shown your hatred for our dynasty right in front of me. Yet, the East Emperor, who hates one side so much, is still willing to discuss peace with me. This shows his sincerity. However, I doubt whether he can appease the Min Dynasty. Our two countries have been at war for years. Turning swords into plowshares is the best policy, even if it means swallowing the bitter hatred. It would protect both the people and the country. However, one person's heart does not represent the will of everyone. If our dynasty agrees, can the East Emperor really pave the way?"
"Are you worried that someone in my Yuyan country might cause trouble?"
"You have reason to be worried, don't you? As far as I know, our army has always been defending the city and has never crossed the border. However, your army has repeatedly caused trouble, forcing our army to defend itself."
"What nonsense!" The Eastern Emperor glared and slammed his mighty hand on the Dragon Throne. "It was clearly your Dragon Flame Nation that started the trouble. Back then, when I was still the Crown Prince, your Dragon Flame Nation's army was approaching. I, under the order of the late Emperor, personally led the army to fight. Unexpectedly, as soon as I left, someone broke into the Crown Prince's residence. My concubine was brutally murdered, and her nine-month-old baby died before she even saw the light of day. I didn't even have time to name the child! They and their child are gone, and you dare to accuse me of being the cause of the trouble? You are simply confusing right and wrong."
