"explain."
"Your Majesty, a group of people have arrived at the palace gate. They claim to be from the Wu tribe and have come to present gifts."
The room erupted in uproar.
Why would the Wu tribe come to her Great Wei?
Aren't the Witch Clan supposed to always live in seclusion?
It's impossible for them to have any dealings with other countries. Could they be scammers?
Wei Wangqing, however, did not believe it was fake. How could anyone come to the palace to deceive people? Would they be so reckless as to risk their lives?
However, the purpose of their trip remains unknown.
Remembering Wu Xun's warning to be careful of the Wu Clan, she felt that they had ill intentions.
I wonder how things are going with Wu Changming and Wuchen.
Meanwhile, Wu Changming's situation on the other side had also reached a fever pitch.
He regained the elders' trust and was gradually getting closer to the existence of the Holy Lord.
"Summon them in."
The palace servants immediately removed the items that had just been placed there and added some seats.
Soon, a group of people came striding over.
There were only a dozen or so people.
This was a small number among the envoys, but the Wu tribe's victory was never based on numbers.
Instead, they rely on their unpredictable and mysterious methods.
An older man spoke first: "I am the fourth elder of the Witch Clan. I have long admired the Empress's name. We were unable to attend the Empress's coronation ceremony, but we have come today to offer our congratulations to the Empress of the Northern Dynasty. We hope the Empress will not be offended."
Although that's what they said, their tone wasn't necessarily very respectful.
The Wu tribe has always considered themselves the best in the world and looks down on everyone else.
The ministers were also full of doubts. Their relationship with the witch clan was not so good that they would send congratulatory gifts when the other party's king ascended the throne.
Moreover, no one believed that their witch clan wouldn't have received the news back then. Their arrival now must be for some purpose.
"Elder, you flatter me. I am already very pleased that the nobles have come. There is no need for gifts."
"Please, esteemed envoys, take your seats."
"How can that be? We have come here to present a gift, so please, Your Majesty, accept it."
“Yu Liu”.
A man stepped forward, and only then did everyone notice that such a stunning beauty was hidden among the crowd.
When he blends into the crowd, it seems no one notices him.
But when he came out, it seemed like he was the only one who could be seen.
Many of the women present stared in disbelief.
Wei Wangqing also felt that this man was extraordinary, and wondered where the Wu tribe had found him. It was a waste of talent.
She felt that this man was different from Wuchen. Wuchen was otherworldly, yet alluring like a fairy.
But he was different. He had the masculine energy of an ordinary man, but his eyes held a cold light and were full of mystery.
He's so captivating that it seems like both men and women would be drawn to him.
Wei Wangqing snapped out of his daze and noticed that many ministers were unconsciously engrossed in the music. Wei Wangqing felt a chill run down his spine; there was something wrong with this man!
Wei Wangqing slammed down his wine cup with a thud, startling many people back to their senses.
"What does the elder mean by this?"
The Fourth Elder was surprised that the Empress had recovered so quickly.
It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit.
The Fourth Elder's lips curled up slightly.
"This Yu Liu is a gift that my Wu tribe presents to the Empress."
Many people gasped in surprise, and the woman who had been staring so boldly immediately looked away. This was going to be the king's man.
Of course, there were also those who envied the Empress's good fortune with women.
Some rational people were wondering whether the Queen would actually accept it.
It was one thing for them to refuse to serve before, but now this is a matter of national importance concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Will His Majesty refuse?
Wei Wangqing knew there was something wrong with the gift because of the elder's insistence, but he didn't expect it to be in this way.
Perhaps the witch clan is not good at intrigue and trickery, or perhaps they simply disdain such things, since they are fearless and have nothing to fear.
That's why she so blatantly stuffs people into her harem.
Before Wei Wangqing could speak, the elder spoke up.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to rush. Why not watch Yu Liu perform a dance for you before making a decision?" They were well aware of the Empress's doting on her husband, although they didn't think anyone could resist Yu Liu.
But what if?
This way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong.
Wei Wangqing: "Okay."
Let's see what they're up to!
Chen Zhiyan didn't show anything. After going through so much, if he still couldn't trust his wife, he wouldn't be worthy of her devotion to him.
The members of the Wu tribe had all taken their seats.
Only Yu Liu remained in the central government.
Countless eyes were fixed on him, but he seemed completely oblivious.
Suddenly, music started playing, and every gesture—raising a hand, turning a glance—was absolutely stunning.
Accompanied by music, whether lifting her leg or bending over, every movement is naturally captivating.
Despite being a man, his body was incredibly flexible.
Bathed in moonlight, she looked like a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
But when he curls his lips, he gives the impression of a soul-binding messenger who has emerged from hell.
Everyone present was captivated by him and couldn't take their eyes off him.
But he didn't care; his only target was one person.
With a 'whoosh', he flicked his sleeves to the sides, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and flew forward, his eyes fixed on his target.
But upon closer inspection, he realized he hadn't caught his breath and almost fell.
The empress didn't even look at him!
They were whispering and laughing together.
She didn't even watch his dance!
How is he supposed to perform this?!
How could anyone remain indifferent to him?
Yu Liu couldn't believe it, and with every subsequent movement, he stared straight at the Empress.
