However, it was obvious that the Emperor's mood was slightly displeased, and his face revealed a trace of worry.

"What is the origin of this disease? The imperial physicians in the palace could not rule, but he, a Swallow? "Could it be that even this disease is caused by the Yan nationality, and they want to cause cholera for me?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes as he stared at Mu Qing. He seemed to be sizing up something in his heart.

A trace of terror appeared on Mu Qing's face. She knew that this illness was only acting by itself. If she didn't bring it back, it would bring about an unexpected calamity.

"This son believes that this is not the doing of Yan Kingdom. As far as I know, Alda must have gone through a lot of trouble to get these medicinal herbs."

The emperor wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the empress at the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The empress raised the corners of her lips to reveal a gentle smile. "Your majesty, even though Yan Guo's Crown Prince Arda is untrustworthy, he has truly cured Mu Qing's illness. It's best if we don't tangle with his identity anymore."

It was also because the empress's words had touched him that the low pressure enveloping the emperor's body gradually dissipated.

"The empress is right, I was too anxious just now."

The Emperor exhaled softly and finally began to believe that Arda was not looking at his throne.

Mu Qing's sharp face revealed a flawless smile, just like in the Emperor's memories.

"Imperial Father, why didn't you use the protons of Yan Kingdom to control it?" Mu Qing asked doubtfully.

The late emperor had used the prince of Wu Country to control the country for many years.

Therefore, Mu Qing also suggested to the Emperor that he use Arda to control the Kingdom of Yan.

The Emperor lowered himself to sit beside Mu Qing's bed and shook his head, "This kind of thing isn't as simple as I imagined. Furthermore, not to mention the fact that the Yan Kingdom has a heart of a tiger and a wolf, even that Arda is just a weakling who has no value at all. "

The Queen saw that the two of them were discussing matters of the court, so she did not participate, but silently poured a cup of tea for the Emperor.

Arda was originally in Yan Kingdom, but he could only be considered an abandoned child.

Back when the Yan Kingdom was in chaos, he was sent here by his clan members as a form of compromise.

Today, the Yan Kingdom hid its strength, hoping to avenge their past. During the battle between the two countries, the first to bear the brunt of the blow was Arda. However, because his body was weak, the people of the Yan Dynasty had no intention of taking him back.

It was no wonder that even the Emperor was unwilling to use Arda.

However, this wasn't what Mu Qing wanted to see. According to the plan that Mu Lingshao had told her last night in the Cold Palace, he must make Arda valuable!

"Father." Mu Qing said straightforwardly, "Today, the Yan Kingdom has the tendency to disobey. If we don't control it now, I'm afraid that it'll be raising tigers to pay for it, causing endless troubles in the future!"

The Emperor agreed with Mu Qing's words in his heart.

"Then Qing'er thinks, what should we do next?" The Emperor asked tentatively.

Mu Qing was elated as she guessed that the Emperor had finally taken the bait.

"Your son believes that as long as we send a princess to the marriage alliance and use the protons of Yan State as a threat, then Yan State will not be able to do anything to us."

After the Emperor heard Mu Qing's plan, he showed an expression of disapproval.

"No, this isn't appropriate. The princess has a noble status. How could she be willing to be sent to the Yan Kingdom?" The Emperor said.

Mu Qing immediately continued, "Imperial Father, this son is willing to be sent to Yan Kingdom to be married to Arda!"

The moment she said that, the blue flower in the Queen's hands fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

She was furious, but she tried her best to remain calm in front of the emperor.

"No!" You have just recovered from your illness, so how can you be sent to the Yan Kingdom to be betrothed to someone else? " The Queen said.

Mu Qing knew in her heart that if she didn't make use of this opportunity, she wouldn't be able to be together with Arda anymore.

She immediately got off the bed and kowtowed on the floor.

"Imperial Father," Mu Qing raised her head and looked earnestly at the Emperor, "This son is willing to appear for the country and protect the safety of my people. Moreover, Arda has always been good to me, so I believe he won't need to borrow too much money after marrying me."

The emperor hurriedly helped her up and sighed, "Right now, only your daughter is willing to think for me like this. "However, whether or not you can marry Arda, I will do some research before making any plans. After all, I am responsible for the daughter I love."

Mu Qing's words were sincere, causing the Emperor to feel extremely touched.

However, she was still a princess and could not be married off so easily. Therefore, the Emperor still had to conduct an investigation on Arda.

If he managed to deceive the emperor's spies, this was something that Mu Lingshao had mentioned. This was the most crucial point.

Mu Qing looked at the back of the emperor as he left and secretly clutched his handkerchief tightly.

Not long after, a message was sent from the other side.

"Princess, the trace of the fake death medicine that Arda gave you has been removed." An ordinary looking servant said.

The Princess was startled. She didn't expect that Mu Lingshao had spies in the mansion.

"When I send word to my cousin, thank him for me."

The servant nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "Yes! "Princess."

The shadow guard beside the emperor also began to collect all the information on Arda. The emperor even specifically requested that they investigate the princess' illness.

However, when she found nothing, it was as if the princess' illness had suddenly appeared, and she quickly recovered after taking the medicine given by Arda.

"Your Majesty, everything has been reported to you." The shadow guard leader said.

The emperor waved him off.

This matter actually had nothing to do with Arda. Could it be that he really liked Mu Qing?

The emperor was secretly guessing in his heart. If the two of them got along quite well, then this marriage would be fine.

"Then spread the news that the princess of my dynasty wishes to marry the prince of Yan Guo, Arda!" The emperor's sonorous and forceful voice reverberated within the great hall.

"Yes — Your Majesty." The eunuch at the side immediately accepted the order.

All of a sudden, the red invitation card was sent to the Yan Kingdom like paper, free of charge. The ministers from both countries had never thought that their lord would agree to this marriage.

The emperor set up a banquet in the imperial garden. The guests were all influential ministers of the Yan State, as well as the envoys of the State of Yan.

The Emperor of Yan had a rather good attitude towards this marriage. It seemed that Mu Qing would soon be able to marry into Yan Kingdom and become the noble imperial concubine of a prince.

Mu Qing was secretly anticipating in her heart as she hoped that everything would go according to Mu Lingshao's plan.

In a few more days, the engagement banquet would be held. At that time, the Emperor would invite the Minister of the Kingdom of Chen and the envoy from the Kingdom of Yan to settle everything down.
