"Let's go and have a look."
When mentioning this group of people, Sheng Mingyu's face turned grim.
The two of them sat in the carriage, and Gu Yunni was very curious.
"Why do I feel like you don't like Miaojiang very much? Did something happen in the past? Why don't you tell me about it? Although I don't know how to use poison, I do have some attainments in the field of cryptic arts."
Sheng Mingyu spoke in a cold voice as he told Gu Yunni the story of the past.
"Miaojiang has always been a closed-door country, never provoking outsiders. But every year when they come to pay tribute, they inexplicably cause trouble. Last year, they poisoned a minister in full view of the public, bringing shame upon our country."
Gu Yunni was shocked and opened her mouth in shock.
"What? How was it handled later? Why have I never heard of us fighting the Miao people? Isn't His Majesty angry? He always puts the people at the top of his heart, and the ministers under him should also be his confidants."
Her tone was full of doubt. This was too different from what she had imagined.
"Your Majesty naturally does not want to swallow this humiliation, but you also know that the Miaojiang region is good at using poison and poison. If you allow others to attack, they will only suffer a greater blow. Your Majesty has no choice but to swallow this humiliation. This is why the Miaojiang region has always been superior to other countries."
"Oh!" Gu Yunni sighed slowly, her tone revealing helplessness.
"Then why not join forces with other countries and destroy them directly? While this would result in more casualties, it would also free us from worries and save the people from living in constant fear. Wouldn't neighboring countries like Miao be constantly worried?"
Sheng Mingyu sneered inexplicably, "This is indeed the best solution. I used to believe that if all countries cooperated, they would be able to wipe out the Miao border in one fell swoop, but everyone is suspicious. After so many years of discussion, there has been no progress at all."
"How stupid." Gu Yunni complained in disappointment.
"But you're right. If this isn't resolved, it's going to be really frustrating. We really need to think of a solution."
The two discussed for a long time in the carriage and finally arrived at the city gate.
The city gate at this time was completely different from the previous few days. The people did not come out to cheer and greet them. The streets were empty and extremely deserted.
"There's not even a single person here. Your Majesty wouldn't neglect superficial efforts, would he? He should at least have asked a minister or prince to come. Why hasn't anyone come after all this time?"
Gu Yunni expressed doubts.
In her eyes, this is considered impolite.
"Your Majesty will naturally not let the Miaojiang enter the city in a deserted state. The people are reluctant to come. This has been the case every year in the past. The people are worried about being harmed. Your Majesty is also slightly on guard and will send people to warn everyone."
Sheng Mingyu explained to Gu Yunni as if he was used to it, then looked around before continuing.
"Don't worry. If I'm not mistaken, someone will come to greet us soon. It's probably the Imperial Master. He knows some profound arts and might be able to fight against the poisonous insects from Miaojiang."
As soon as Sheng Mingyu finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, accompanied by the helpless voice of the imperial teacher.
"Your Highness is truly clever. How did you know His Majesty would send me here? I don't want to be associated with these disgusting people. I can't beat them, and I can't scold them. I don't know what His Majesty is thinking. Isn't he afraid that I'll lose my life?"
He had a look of despair on his face, and he wished he could turn around and leave immediately.
In the past, when the Miao entered the city, they would always release countless poisonous insects and sometimes persecute the people.
Since no people came today, wouldn't these things be targeting him alone?
"Why are you the only one here? Are there no ministers behind you? Your Majesty really not willing to even put in the effort to appear good?"
This time, not only Gu Yunni was confused, but even Sheng Mingyu was confused.
In the past, Your Majesty would not be so tough. Although he hated Miaojiang, he still had to give them the respect they deserved.
"There are indeed no other ministers today. They all don't want to come. Your Majesty also reached a cooperation with the Han Kingdom a few days ago. They already have a strong army. I guess Your Majesty is planning to attack the Miao border."
The two discussed the war situation in the court. Gu Yunni didn't listen much and just kept observing outside.
Not long after, countless carriages came into the city one after another.
The three of them looked at each other and walked forward together.
A woman in red rushed out of the carriage. She had a charming face and a bold personality.
Looking at the deserted streets, his face darkened and he cracked his whip.
"Are you really that rude? We came all the way here to visit, and there's not even a single person to greet us. What kind of rules are these? Even a big country would behave like this?"
She roared angrily, but Gu Yunni raised her eyebrows and didn't care at all.
"This is the Princess of Miaojiang, right? You don't have to be so angry. Our people don't have that much free time. It's impossible for us to greet everyone at the city gate. At least we are here, right? We are of high status."
Gu Yunni would not tolerate others' arrogance and domineering behavior, and now that she knew what Miao Jiang had done, her temper became even worse.
The woman's face became stiff after being confronted, and she squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Yunni with an unfriendly look.
"Who are you? This princess comes here every year, but why have I never seen you before? Is your emperor so rude as to send someone with no reputation to greet us? Has he forgotten his previous lesson?"
"I'm the Crown Prince's Consort. It doesn't matter if you don't know me. You should know His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince and I are about to get married."
Gu Yunni answered calmly, but the woman in front of her suddenly changed her expression and looked at Sheng Mingyu with disbelief in her eyes.
"When are you going to get married? Did you just bring someone here to deceive me? I just want to be with you, don't I? Why would you resort to such means? It really hurts my heart!"
She looked like she had lost her husband, which made Gu Yunni confused and her eyes wandered between the two of them.
Sheng Mingyu interrupted hurriedly, "How dare you! This prince has met someone he likes, why can't we be together? I used to think that Her Highness was young and didn't understand matters of love, but I didn't expect her to be so shameless and dare to say such words in front of my fiancée."
After Sheng Mingyu finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yunni quietly, afraid that she would be angry.
He really never took this matter to heart, otherwise he would have greeted Gu Yunni a long time ago.
"What do you mean I'm young and ignorant? I love you and have already planned to marry you, but you're still with another woman. Are you trying to piss me off to death?!"
This unruly princess was very willful. She jumped off the carriage, raised the whip and was about to hit Gu Yunni in the face.
She was the most beloved daughter of the Miao monarch and had been loved and pampered since childhood. Naturally, she would not take Gu Yunni's life seriously.
Sheng Mingyu immediately reached out to catch it and pushed her down!
