"Eunuch, do you mind if I take you to the study?" When Little Xuan Zi sent Cheng Zi Yuan out, he discovered that she was staring blankly at the sky. There wasn't the slightest bit of emotion on her face. He couldn't tell what she was feeling. He realized that the princess and emperor in front of him were very similar. The two of them did not notice that the aura they were subconsciously releasing was exactly the same.

He paused for a moment at her question, then nodded.

"Princess, come with your servant."

Cheng Ziyuan nodded and followed behind him. "We have arrived at the side palace." Princess, this is the study room. " She did as she was told and looked at the door with some hesitation. She had a feeling that once she stepped into this place, some things would change. After hesitating for a moment, she finally stepped forward without hesitation.

According to the code, she found records of the Northern State of Yue's national conditions.

Through the book, she understood that the continent she was on was currently divided into four parts. These four countries also happened to be named after the East, South, West, and East, respectively. When Xuan Yi was still the crown prince, he had already subdued the entire of the Southern Star Country. Now, the Southern Star Country was a vassal state of the Northern Yue.

The remaining three kingdoms were now standing at the same position as the other kingdoms. It was just that the Eastpan Kingdom rarely stepped foot into other kingdoms, while the Western Paradise and the Northern Yue Kingdom seemed to be at peace.

After looking at some basic things, she realized that there were some things that she did not understand. Walking out of the study, she returned to her room while deep in thought.

Ling'er hadn't run out for a day. She also knew that she had been too blunt sometimes and knew that she had created trouble for herself. Thus, she decided to obediently stay in her room if there was nothing wrong with her. Seeing her young mistress walk in with a slightly dazed expression on her face, she felt a little suspicious. She had almost never seen this kind of young lady before.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Cheng Zi Yuan came back to his senses after hearing Ling'er's voice and realized that he had wandered off in a daze. It seemed that if someone were to attack him now, she would definitely be injured. It seemed that his nerves had been a bit loose during this period of time. He secretly tensed up, but there was no change on his face.

"Nothing, I was just thinking."

"Oh. Then Miss, what are you thinking about? "

Hearing Ling'er's question, she thought for a moment and realized that she didn't understand the question. She decided to ask. Ling'er was someone who had been following him the entire time. There were some things that he knew better than the current him. Moreover, she shouldn't have lied to him.

"Ling'er, can you tell me about the situation of the Northern State of Yue?"

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, wondering why she had asked her. Shouldn't Miss be clearer about these matters? Although she had her doubts, she didn't ask. She just nodded and began to narrate.

From Ling'er's explanation, he understood that it was Zi Yuan. Right now, North Vietnam was in a situation of internal and external trouble. Right now, if he were to kill her without a word, it would definitely arouse the displeasure of the Western Kingdom. They probably were looking for an opportunity to attack her, but they didn't do so right now. Furthermore, the court was not as peaceful as it looked now. The spies of the Western Kingdom had long infiltrated the entire imperial court. Even the Profound Wings could not determine who was the most loyal one.

The current situation, if it was handled slightly inappropriately, would cause unrest throughout the country. On the outside, there was a tiger eyeing the prey, while on the inside, there was the erosion of the traitor.

When she thought of this, Cheng Zi Yuan couldn't help but feel moved. No wonder Helian Xuan Yi was so tired. When she thought of that cold and arrogant face, and that angry and overbearing kiss, an indescribable feeling suffused Cheng Zi's heart. She didn't know how to describe it.

"Miss, Miss." Ling'er saw that she didn't say anything after listening for a long time, and began to worry.

"I understand. Rest." Cheng Ziyuan said, his tone was still as cold as ever, without a trace of emotion.

"Ah?!" "Oh, okay."

Ling'er had yet to react. Miss was so strange just now, she didn't seem like Miss anymore. Ever since Miss became powerful, she had never seen anything besides cold on her face. Was she mistaken? Miss is a bit … Sad? Ling'er silently thought to herself that she should brainwash.

Over here, in the royal study, Helian Xuanyi listened to Little Xuanzi's report.

"Are you ready?" Helian Xuan Yi asked.

"Your majesty, we are all prepared. We can guarantee that the ambassador of Naxi will never forget this." Little Xuanzi replied with a hint of schadenfreude.

Helian Xuanyin said with an evil smile.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Little Xuanzi asked, "Your majesty, which imperial concubine are you lucky to meet today?"

Helian Xuan Yi frowned. He remembered the time he was met with Cheng Zi Yuan. That woman was so calm at that time. Did she not like him at all? This knowledge made Helian Xuanyin feel somewhat manic.

"You may leave. Today, I shall sleep in the imperial study."

"Yes, your servant will take his leave."

Little Xuanzi felt a little strange. What was wrong with the emperor? He had been fine just now. Alas, the heart of an emperor was truly unfathomable. It was already late in the night, and the cold moonlight shone through the thick branches of the trees, casting specks of light on the windows.

Cheng Violet Garden looked out of the window. That figure had already stopped at the window for a while, and didn't have any intention of moving. When he had arrived, Cheng Violet Garden had already noticed, and had not taken any action because that figure was none other than the Helian Profound Wings.

Helian Xuanyin stood outside the window. He didn't know why he had unconsciously come here. When he thought of that woman's calm appearance, he had no way to remain calm. Damn it, was he being controlled by a girl? Women had only warmed beds for him, nothing else.

Then what about Zi Yuan? Cheng Zi Yuan couldn't even be considered his woman. Why did he have to care so much about her reaction, and why did he think so much about that kiss? What exactly was Cheng Ziyuan to him? Helian Xuanyin stood outside the window, conflicted.

Within the house, Cheng Zi Yuan was extremely puzzled as well. Why would Helian Xuanyin come here at this time? She even stood before the window without saying a word.

"Miss, I won't cause any more trouble, I promise!"

Cheng Zi Yuan got off the bed and helped Ling'er to cover herself with the blanket. When he looked out the window, he saw that the figure had already disappeared, leaving only the shadow of the tree outside the window.

The next day, the envoys of the Western Kingdom arrived. The envoy sent by the Western Kingdom this time was the eloquent old official, Zhao Mingtang.

"Western Kingdom's Zhao Mingtang pays his respects to his Majesty." Zhao Mingtang strode into the great hall and walked to the front of the hall. He could not kneel in respect, and could only bow slightly in greeting towards Helian Xuan Yi.

"Emissary Zhao, please sit."

Zhao Mingtang didn't buy it and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be courteous. This old servant is here to seek an explanation on behalf of the Western Kingdom!"

"Oh!?" I wonder what kind of explanation Envoy Zhao would like to have. " The laughter of the Mysterious Black Wings was profound, like a cat capturing a mouse.

"Then Your Majesty, please forgive this old official for speaking bluntly. Everyone knows that Hui Fei is a person who is related to your country. Now that she and her son have died in the Northern State of Yue, doesn't Your Majesty think that this matter has gone too far?" Zhao Mingtang questioned.

"Zhao Mingtang, how dare you! How could we, the State of Northern Yue, allow you to criticize us wantonly!" "The speaker was one of the more upright ministers of the court." Hui Fei plotted to usurp the throne, even if it was in your Western Kingdom, this crime would still cause you to die millions of times. " The other minister also could not help but speak up. The ministers of the Northern State of Yue nodded in agreement.

Zhao Mingtang disapproved and continued to be overbearing.

"Hmph, no matter what you say, Hui Fei is still a person of my Western Li Country. Even if she committed a monstrous crime, she should have known about Western Li Country and handed it to Western Li Country to deal with. Northern Yue Country killing the concubine that Western Li Country sent to them without saying a word, wouldn't that be provoking a dispute and not putting Western Li Country in their eyes?"

"You …" The ministers were rendered speechless by his shameless words, unable to refute him.

"Envoy Zhao is right." Even the ministers present were shocked by these words. What happened to their emperor? Why was he speaking to the Western Kingdom?

He clearly did not expect that Helian Xuanyin would not be angry, but instead replied with such an answer. This little Emperor Helian should be afraid, and thought that there was something extraordinary about him. He did not expect that this little brat would be someone who could not stand up to fear.

"Since Your Majesty feels that this is reasonable, then Your Majesty should know what to do."

The purpose of Zhao Mingtang's visit was to make use of the matter of Hui Fei's death to denounce the Northern State of Yue. If he could use this as an accusation that would deliberately destroy the relationship between the two countries and provoke the Western Kingdom, then he would be even more famous.

Now that Xuan Yi had just ascended to the throne, his foundation was currently unstable. It was likely that no matter what request the Western Kingdom asked of him, he would be unable to reject it, not to mention that he was clearly a good-for-nothing emperor who would not become anything great today. Thinking of this, Zhao Mingtang became even more proud of himself.

The smile on Helian Xuanyin's face became increasingly devilish. If one were to pay close attention, they would notice the iciness in his eyes.

"I naturally understand what Envoy Zhao means. Bring the person here." At the command of Helian Xuan Yi, someone carried in two big chests.

"This is the sincerity of our country."

Zhao Mingtang saw that these two chests were made entirely out of gold, and there were many jewelry inlaid on the outside. Zhao Mingtang saw that these two chests were made completely out of gold, and many jewelry inlaid on the outside.

"His Majesty is truly a wise man. This subject will definitely pass on His Majesty's goodwill to the king of our country." Zhao Mingtang completed the mission so easily, so his mood was naturally very good.

Helian Xuan Yi smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Envoy Zhao. I see that Envoy Zhao is exhausted. Why don't we sit down and drink a cup of wine? It can also be considered as us welcoming Envoy Zhao into the spotlight."
