Chapter 309 Hostage Exchange
Lin Zhaoyue coughed lightly, "Is Changxue jealous?"
Upon hearing this, Su Changxue suddenly smiled, a smile as refreshing as the first melting snow. "Your Highness, you are joking. How dare Changxue?" He paused, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the jade pendant at his waist. He then changed the subject, his voice suddenly becoming a little colder: "It's just... I'm a little upset."
Lin Zhaoyue was silent for a moment.
She looked up at the sky, only to see the clouds rolling and the rosy clouds shining. "The weather is nice today."
Su Changxue followed her gaze, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his lips: "The weather is nice today. That day... when Her Highness the Princess asked Changxue if she had made up her mind about her choice... the weather was also very good."
Lin Zhaoyue was puzzled: "Really?"
How come she didn't remember what the weather was like that day?
Su Changxue did not answer, but sighed softly: "Yes, Your Highness did forget after all. After all...clothes are better when they are new."
Lin Zhaoyue still hasn't gotten over her resentment towards Su Changxue.
When she recovered, she immediately coaxed him, "I remember there's another sentence for this sentence."
Su Changxue raised his eyes.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled lightly, her red lips parted, "People are worse than the old ones."
As soon as these four words came out, the ice and snow between Su Changxue's brows disappeared, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose, and even the corners of his eyes were tinged with warmth.
"Your Highness is used to speaking in a way that makes people happy."
Ming Xi and Mu Ying, who were about to come over to report important matters, stopped and exchanged meaningful glances.
Does Mr. Su have any misunderstanding about Her Royal Highness the Princess?
In the past, others always made Her Royal Highness the Princess happy. When will it be Her Royal Highness the Princess' turn to make others happy?
But Mu Ying, who has been following Lin Zhaoyue recently, has indeed discovered that Her Royal Highness the Princess has changed.
Your Highness really knows how to coax people now.
But those who could win her tender words were all extremely talented and brilliant. Often, with just a few words, she could make people willingly go through fire and water for her.
If Her Highness of the past was the inviolable moon in the sky, admired but not dared approach, now she is like that bright moon, gently casting its light upon the world. She still does not bow her head, but has learned to offer just the right amount of favor, making those fortunate enough to bask in her radiance willing to give their all.
In the past, Her Royal Highness the Princess only played power games, but now Her Royal Highness the Princess is better at stirring people's hearts.
This period of time has left Mu Ying dumbfounded.
After all, Mu Ying has been following the princess since she was a child, and as a woman, she is closer to her.
Therefore, one can feel more clearly how terrifyingly smart His Highness is now.
Lin Zhaoyue just smiled in response to Su Changxue's flattery.
prosperous country.
"Ridiculous! They actually want my Sheng Kingdom to submit to Daxia and become its vassal state! This is wishful thinking!"
The Emperor of Sheng was furious. He slammed his palm on the imperial desk, causing the pens, inkstones, and paper to tumble. His eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged in his forehead, clearly showing his rage.
The officials in the study were so frightened that they trembled and dared not speak.
"Your Majesty...that lord also said..." The messenger's voice became even lower.
The Emperor of Sheng asked angrily, "What else did you say?"
The Herald stated, "They also said that if you want to get His Royal Highness back, His Majesty needs to exchange him for another person."
"Who is it?" Sheng Guo looked grim.
What he was more curious about was who in Sheng Country could actually make Da Xia care about him.
Now the entire nation knew the Crown Prince was being held hostage in Daxia. But what good was that? For a defeated nation to lose even its Crown Prince was a grave humiliation. If he were not redeemed, not only would the military's morale be weakened, but the people would also be thoroughly disappointed in the imperial family.
This is like adding insult to injury for the already precarious prosperous country.
The messenger swallowed hard, his voice as soft as a mosquito: "It is... General Xia Yu, the leader of the Flame Army."
