Su Wenyuan couldn't resist and wanted to take the opportunity to kick him a few times. Since Sheng Jingyu had already made a move, what difference would a few more kicks make?
When Sheng Jingyu saw that Su Wenyuan had already kicked him, and so many people had seen it, it would be a shame if she hadn't caused any injury. He had just delivered a heavy kick.
No wonder they ended up together.
That's good, the banquet can end early now.
Su Wenyuan was initially worried that the process would take too long and that she would be scolded and mistreated.
Looking back now, it was all unnecessary worry.
When the imperial physician arrived, the Crown Prince had already been moved to a side hall, and many ministers followed him there, watching from a distance outside.
The women were moved to another palace by the Empress, while the few people involved in the incident remained in the main hall.
Sheng Yuanhe looked at the two of them, and tried to speak several times, but still couldn't say anything.
The Crown Prince's injuries had just healed when he was beaten again and couldn't get up. This trip to Anchuan Kingdom was a major hurdle for him.
The emperor did not want to have any contact with the envoys, so he went to the main hall first and scolded the two of them.
"You two came here just to beat him up again? Why did you even bother coming? Why didn't you just secretly beat him to death last night?" The Emperor was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
Su Wenyuan weakly reminded him, "Father, be careful with your words. That is the heir of Qikong Kingdom, the future prince, and your son-in-law. You must not have any extreme thoughts."
The Emperor roared, "You still know he's the heir apparent? Is the heir apparent someone you can kick around in front of everyone?"
He hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but just hearing about it was already incredible.
Knowing that Sheng Jingyu likes to leave himself no way out, he married a princess who is also reckless.
But the most important thing right now is not to scold them, but to handle this matter properly.
“Father is wrong. This has nothing to do with playing around. It was Prince Jin who started it. I was just trying to stop him. In the process of stopping him, I didn’t control my strength well, so that’s reasonable, right?” Sheng Jingyu tried to beautify the process of the two of them committing violence.
The Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "If the envoy thinks it's reasonable, then I think it's reasonable. If the envoy is relentless, there's nothing I can do."
Jin Kouhe was beaten despite being protected by his own people, and he still chased after the emperor to demand an explanation.
Now everyone has seen that it was those two who beat up the people. Given that the envoy was in the right, it was even less likely that he would let them go.
We brought Sheng Jingyu here so he could solve the problem; after all, he'd stirred up trouble once again.
Su Wenyuan realized that the Emperor had no intention of favoring them, and muttered under her breath, "In Anchuan Kingdom, do you think you can be controlled by an incompetent prince?"
She finished speaking and laughed self-deprecatingly; the emperor understood her sarcasm.
Su Wenyuan wasn't mocking herself; she was actually mocking the Emperor.
He, the emperor of Anchuan, was manipulated by an envoy from another country and an unruly crown prince.
The emperor was furious but speechless, his face burning with embarrassment.
For some reason, I felt very frustrated as the emperor. Why should I have to answer the envoy's questions?
The thought had barely crossed my mind when the envoy from Qikong Kingdom arrived.
The leader was still that troublesome envoy, with a solemn expression and a menacing demeanor. His name was Yuan Hou, and he looked very shrewd.
His appearance is the kind that Su Wenyuan would completely ignore if she were doing business.
They are petty and stingy, and adept at making unreasonable arguments.
"Your Majesty, Qikong Kingdom and Anchuan Kingdom have been on good terms for many years. Princess Heyi is Your Majesty's first princess. The fact that she was sent to Qikong Kingdom for a political marriage shows how much Your Majesty values the relationship between the two countries."
Empress Yuan put her hands behind her back, tilted her head back, and was clearly ready to launch into a long speech.
Su Wenyuan stepped forward and said, "Not only does Father Emperor value this, but the entire Anchuan Kingdom cares a lot about the friendly relations between the two countries. After all, the people do not want to start another war! Princess Heyi is as beautiful as a fairy, but she has been married off to a distant place for many years. She must have suffered a lot."
Empress Yuan was taken aback; his plan did not include the possibility of being interrupted.
"Qikong Kingdom values the princess highly and has never let her suffer any grievances. Thinking that she has been away from the capital for many years, she must miss her hometown. That's why they went to great lengths to send the princess back to Anchuan..." Empress Yuan regained the initiative.
He wanted to first emphasize his country's sincerity, and then, when discussing the matter of the Crown Prince being wronged, he pointed out that when comparing the two countries' styles of conduct, Qikong Kingdom had the upper hand, firstly on a moral level.
As soon as Su Wenyuan heard him mention the past, she knew what he was up to and interrupted him again.
“Thirteen years, it’s normal to miss them. They should have come back to visit long ago.” Su Wenyuan deliberately downplayed the sincerity of Qikong Kingdom.
They're not really that kind-hearted; who knows what their motives are for coming here this time.
After being rebuffed by Su Wenyuan twice, Empress Yuan no longer dared to underestimate this princess.
I had heard long ago that Princess Consort Chen acted boldly in Anchuan Kingdom, and didn't take anyone seriously.
Having seen it with my own eyes, I can only say that it lives up to its reputation.
This kind of reckless spirit is really hard to deal with.
“There will be longing, but historically, princesses sent to marry foreign rulers have never been able to return. On this point, our emperor has shown great tolerance.”
Su Wenyuan suddenly laughed out loud, waved her hand and said, "If there were no marriage alliance, she wouldn't need to leave. Just lock her up first, and then release her occasionally for a day or two. Do you expect her to be grateful?"
What kind of tolerance is this?
Arrangements for marriage are inherently unreasonable. If a war breaks out, who will care about the princess's life or death?
Empress Yuan suddenly had nothing to say; he hadn't even gotten to the point yet.
The important points are all at the end; those are the ones he focused on refining.
The previous part was just a starting point; who would have thought that someone would get entangled with him on this issue?
Sheng Jingyu coughed lightly and said, "Lord Yuan is probably not here to discuss whether the marriage alliance is reasonable. If you have something to say, please speak frankly."
The Emperor had already found a place to sit down; it seemed that they didn't need him at all for their affairs.
Su Wenyuan took the initiative to respond, and Empress Yuan stopped staring at him, which made the Emperor feel relieved.
But he still couldn't leave; he had to stay and keep an eye on things. What if they attacked the envoys too?
An envoy behind Empress Yuan angrily said, "You don't need to say these high-sounding words. You've assaulted people twice. Don't you have an explanation for this? If you don't give us an explanation today, we'll go back and report to the Emperor!"
"Insolence! What kind of attitude is this? You're just an envoy, how dare you disrespect the Emperor?" Su Wenyuan pointed at them and shouted angrily.
Sheng Jingyu said coldly, "A threat? Then you can leave now!"
The emperor, standing behind, hesitated whether to speak or not, as things were completely different from what he had imagined.
They assaulted someone, and yet they're still so arrogant?
The envoy was caught off guard and stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Empress Yuan's mind was in complete chaos, and none of her previous plans came to fruition.
Things didn't go according to his plan, and his mind naturally went into chaos.
