Junior Sister Haitang was confused and asked, "What are you talking about? What is the Emperor's Crisis?"
Prince Yuexi said, "This was originally a secret, but I can tell you now. A year ago, a great Dao inheritance appeared in the ancient ruins. Seven emperors entered the ancient ruins together. Everyone in the world thought that the great Dao inheritance was within their grasp. However, all seven emperors returned empty-handed and were seriously injured."
She looked at the Prince of Donglin and said, "Since it's the Emperor's death, then your spies must have told you that our Empress might be about to fall."
Prince Donglin nodded and said, "Emperor Zhao has been poisoned by a strange poison. He has been in seclusion for the past year to detoxify, but the poison has not only not eased, but has actually worsened. According to my informants, Emperor Zhao's time is running out."
Junior Sister Haitang exclaimed in shock, "If the Empress dies, won't our Zhao Kingdom be in danger?"
Prince Yuexi said, "Yes, the human race has always been able to maintain stability, entirely due to the balance of the seven emperors. Once an emperor falls, the seven kingdoms will inevitably fall into war. If the empress really falls, our counties in Zhao will first fall into civil unrest, and then we will become fat meat in the eyes of other countries."
The Prince of Donglin said, "Because of this, our two counties must unite. When our strength is strong, even if others want to bite us, they will have to think twice before breaking their teeth."
The old man, Honorable Dongyang, also said, "Our Donglin County is stronger than Yuexi County. Originally, when the two counties merged, the King of Donglin County should have been the superior. Now that he has lowered his status and is willing to marry into Yuexi County, I think the King of Yuexi County will not refuse!"
Junior Sister Haitang said, "This is truly a blessing from heaven. I think Senior Sister won't refuse it!"
Prince Yuexi pondered in silence. To be honest, she was indeed tempted. As long as she agreed to Prince Donglin's request, the ten cities would be immediately in her possession. She also had Prince Donglin and his many experts under her command. At this time of crisis for the emperor, joining forces was indeed the best way to protect themselves.
She pondered for a long time, and under everyone's expectant gaze, she said, "This matter is of great importance and requires long-term planning. It is a rare opportunity for the Duke of Donglin to visit us, so I will do my best to be a good host and prepare a banquet for him to drink with me."
The Prince of Donglin was somewhat disappointed, but at least he hadn't been rejected outright. He nodded and said, "Let's drink together. I've heard that Yuexi County has many experts under its command, and I want to see them for myself."
"Report..."
A servant called out from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Lord of Piaomiao City, Chen Dadan, requests an audience."
Prince Yuexi was overjoyed and said, "He's here? Please invite him quickly. No, I will go to greet him personally."
After saying that, he hurried outside. Junior Sister Haitang also said, "Sister, wait for me. I will also go to greet Mr. Chen."
Prince Donglin and Reverend Dongyang were left staring at each other. Prince Donglin said, "The man who came is the Lord of Piaomiao City, one of the old cities in Yuexi County. Judging from his attitude, Prince Yuexi County relies on him very much, so he must be a highly skilled cultivator."
Dongyang Zun said, "According to our intelligence, Yuexi County has no high-ranking masters besides the County Prince and Junior Sister Haitang. However, the five hundred personal soldiers under the command of the County Prince Yuexi are quite capable."
The Prince of Donglin County showed a greedy look on his face and said, "This time we are pretending to marry into the family, but in reality we are annexing Yuexi County. I will use five hundred personal soldiers, and the throne of Zhao will belong to me."
Dongyang Zun said flatteringly, "The Emperor's death crisis is both a crisis and an opportunity. Once the Empress passes away, the State of Zhao will be in chaos. Only in troubled times can heroes emerge. I wish the King to ascend the throne."
Prince Donglin nodded and said, "If I want to ascend the throne, gaining the support of Prince Yuexi is the first step. I hope she can be sensible and avoid me being violent towards her."
…
Yuexi and Haitang went to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to greet them in person. There were a man and a woman waiting at the gate. The man was ordinary and the woman was extremely pretty. They were Chen Dadan and Nan Huanuo.
"It is indeed Mr. Chen." Prince Yuexi said, "I have missed you terribly since we last parted at Moshan Cave."
"I'm very happy that Mr. Chen came to see us." Junior Sister Haitang was smiling.
Chen Dabing was a little surprised by their enthusiasm. He came here to borrow money, not to visit them. Since he wanted to ask for help, he had to bring some gifts.
Chen Dabing was well prepared. He took out a bikini and a pair of erotic pajamas and said, "This small gift is not a token of respect. This is a custom-made divine outfit made just for you."
The two girls' eyes lit up. Yue Xi gently stroked the pajamas and said, "This material is really good, silky and soft, as thin as a cicada's wing. Wearing it not only increases protection, but is also very comfortable."
Junior Sister Haitang also tried out the swimsuit on her body and said, "Mr. Chen's craftsmanship is really good. He uses the least amount of fabric to make the most beautiful clothes."
Chen Dabing chuckled and said, "As long as you like it, I'm glad you guys like it. Now that you've accepted the gift, why don't you invite me in as your guest?"
Prince Yuexi slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so sorry to see your treasure. Please come in, sir, and Sister Nanhua."
Soon, Prince Yuexi welcomed Chen Dabao into his mansion and said with a cheerful face, "Mr. Chen, you've arrived just in time. I'd like to introduce you to a friend, the Prince of Donglin, one of the three kings of Zhao."
Chen Dadan smiled and bowed to the Prince of Donglin, saying, "Greetings, Prince of Donglin."
Prince Donglin frowned and, disregarding all propriety, said to Prince Yuexi, "Is Yuexi County deserted? How dare they let a mortal be the city lord?"
Prince Yuexi said, "Prince Donglin, please do not be rude. Although Mr. Chen is a mortal, he is actually a kind of exiled immortal. It is better to come at the right time than to come early. I have already prepared a banquet. Let's sit down and drink together."
Chen Dadan said, "Great! Talking business over a table is the best way to go about it. I have a project I want to discuss with you guys."
The Duke of Donglin frowned even more. Drinking with a mortal at the same table had lowered his status for no reason. To the immortal cultivators, mortals were not only in the same class contempt chain, but were almost not in the same category.
Even the Dongyang Venerable could not bear to watch and said, "Your Highness Yuexi, it is inappropriate to let the king drink at the same table with mortals!"
Nan Huanuo said angrily, "What do you mean, old man? You look down on my master and are asking for a beating!"
Junior Sister Haitang quickly pulled her aside and said, "Sister Nanhua, before you rush in, take a look at the other party's cultivation level. That old man is at the Golden Core stage."
Nan Huanuo said, "It doesn't matter if he's in the Golden Core Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage, if he dares to be rude to my master, I will beat him up."
King Donglin and Venerable Dongyang were both shocked. How could there be such a reckless person in the world? A mere Qi training cultivator dared to challenge a powerful Golden Core Master. Was he tired of living like this because he had eaten arsenic?
Prince Donglin said, "Prince Yuexi, this girl is so reckless and has offended the Venerable. You should give her an explanation."
Prince Yuexi said, "Do you really want an explanation? Okay, I'll give you one right now."
She continued, "Yes, it is indeed inappropriate for you to drink together at the same table, because the Prince of Donglin is not worthy of it at all. Mr. Chen, I have decided to invite you to a banquet alone."
