King Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty of the Southern Kingdom is wise. I heard that there is a nine-colored deer antler in the Southern Kingdom's treasury. This medicine can turn dead people's flesh into bones and bring the dead back to life. It can also cure all diseases in the world. I represent the Majesty of the Xia Kingdom to ask you for the medicine and am willing to exchange the cultivation methods of these things for you."
Hearing this, Nangong Yan's smile faded and he said, "To be honest, this nine-colored deer antler is a legend. Our Southern Kingdom does not have such a magical medicine. Rumors are not credible. King Zhao should understand."
Seeing Nangong Yan agreed, the smile on King Zhao's face faded.
"Your Majesty, do you think that our Xia Kingdom is sincere enough? If so, Your Majesty, if you have any other needs, you can tell us. As long as we can give it, we will never refuse."
King Zhao looked serious and seemed full of sincerity.
Nangong Yan frowned and said with some joy: "Prince Zhao, I have never lied. If there was such a miracle drug, I would have taken it long ago when my legs were disabled and my body was weak. Why did I suffer for so many years? Moreover, if there was, I would have told you directly. Why hide it?"
Upon hearing this, King Zhao had a complicated expression for a moment.
According to what I have learned, Nangong Yan does have such a person. If he has such a person and if he wants to, he can just say it openly, but he must keep it hidden.
But the rumor was so true, how could it be false? Besides, the spies had also investigated and found that there was indeed a very mysterious thing in the treasury of the Southern Kingdom. What else could it be like with nine-colored deer antlers?
My brother is still waiting for this medicine to prolong his life. If he doesn't have it, all hope will be gone.
The Sixth Prince Mo Ting said, "Your Majesty, we sincerely ask for medicine. Please consider it."
Nangong Yan frowned slightly, his tone colder, "Did I tell you, Sixth Prince, do you think I'm hiding this on purpose?"
Nangong Yan was happy, and released all his pressure. His aura was so strong that Mo Ting was frightened for a moment! Subconsciously showing timidity.
"No...no, that's not what I meant."
Mo Ting's cowardly appearance made King Zhao's eyes flash with joy. He felt that Mo Ting was really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, since there is none, forget it. I only heard that your country's treasury has such a magical medicine, but I didn't expect it to be a lie."
King Zhao spoke, his disappointment hard to conceal in his tone.
Nangong Yan said calmly: "I also heard this rumor when I was young, but after I succeeded to the throne, I found out it was just a rumor and didn't take it seriously. I never thought you would take it seriously."
King Zhao's face was full of disappointment. He said, "Rumors are easy to spread and become true. It's because we didn't figure it out. Your Majesty, please don't blame us."
King Zhao was quite polite and courteous, so Nangong Yan responded in a more friendly manner.
"Nothing, but besides this medicine, I also have something else to exchange with Xia. I wonder if King Zhao would like to hear about it."
Since Nangong Yan said so, King Zhao could only give him face and nodded.
Nangong Yan asked people from the Ministry of Agriculture to talk to King Zhao, and the banquet became a venue for the two countries to discuss cooperation.
The people in the north just listened and didn't say anything.
After the people from the Sinong Supervisor had an agreement with King Zhao, the banquet was resumed.
The singing and dancing continued, and the rough voice of Umur, the great prince of the Northern Kingdom, was heard.
"Your Majesty, my sister Lingyu admires your majesty's heroic spirit. My northern country is interested in forming a friendly relationship with your country. I wonder if your majesty is willing to accept my sister into the harem."
The attitude of the Northern Kingdom was much more humble than in previous years, and they were even going to marry the princess here for an alliance. Everyone was a little surprised and very confused, and they didn't know what they meant this time.
Qingli looked at Nangong Yan with interest. She didn't expect that someone would add a new person to her harem so soon.
The first thing Nangong Yan did when he heard this was to look at Qingli in a hurry. His clear eyes were full of an "I know everything" look, and he was in a hurry to prove his innocence.
Seeing Nangong Yan looked at Qingli first, the ministers wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Is your Majesty now henpecked? This happened in front of envoys from other countries! He really didn't want to save face at all, and he showed it so blatantly.
Umur frowned and looked at the two people in high positions in confusion.
"Your Majesty the Southern Kingdom?"
Nangong Yan hesitated to speak, and Wumur suppressed his doubts and shouted again.
Nangong Yan then looked at 놛 and said calmly: "I only love the queen and have no interest in other women. I appreciate the kindness of the Northern Kingdom."
As Nangong Yan spoke, he took Qingli's hand and displayed his affection in a high-profile manner.
Seeing this, Wu Lingyu, the fifth princess of the Northern Kingdom, lost her confident smile and asked, "Do you think it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Your Majesty, do you only have one queen?"
Wu Lingyu believed that there was no such affectionate and loyal man in the world.
Nangong Yan nodded, "I only want the Queen, and I only love the Queen. If the Northern Kingdom wants to form an alliance, there are many good men in my Southern Kingdom. As long as both of you are willing, I can grant you a marriage."
Wu Lingyu was a little angry when she heard this, "Your Majesty, I am a princess of a country after all, and anyone can be my match. If Your Majesty is not interested, then forget it."
Wu Lingyu spoke in a savage and aggressive tone. She had a wrong impression of Nangong Yan, but she didn't expect him to be so affectionate and only love the queen. As a result, she was more interested in this man. Only her self-esteem allowed her to be submissive and to maintain her dignity, so she spoke arrogantly.
Nangong Yan said calmly: "In that case, let's forget about it."
Wu Lingyu felt inexplicably angry when he saw that Nangong Yan really had no feelings for him at all.
