Within the Palace's Proclamation of Peace.

Fang Zinan led Dong Fang Luo Li to the emperor. "This is Dongyu Kingdom's Princess Liu Li."

Dongfang Luoyu stepped forward leisurely and bent down to look at him. "Princess Liu-Li of Dongyu Nation pays her respects to the Emperor of Nanwu Country."

The emperor raised his head to look and saw the woman in front of him. She had delicate steps, beautiful chignon, and downcast eyebrows. What business do you have with me? "

The emperor opened it and nodded as he read, "So the Grand Preceptor of Dongyu and the great general of Beiyue have conspired to rebel. Although I have heard about it, I haven't received any news from the Kingdom of Dongyu. I wonder how critical the situation is right now?"

"Reporting to your majesty, my royal father knows that the Grand Preceptor has joined forces with the Great General of Beiyue and knows that the country is short of troops. He has requested Luo Li to come to the Southern Marsh and implore Emperor Nanze to lend a helping hand." Dong Fang Luo Li said, and knelt down and kowtowed again.

The emperor waved his hand. "Princess Liu Li, you stand up and speak."

"Thank you, your majesty." Dong Fang Luo Li stood up and stood at the side with her head down.

"The Beiyue Kingdom has always been eyeing the Eastroad Kingdom covetously. I have long since heard of it. I just didn't expect that their actions would be so quick …" The emperor muttered to himself as he walked down from the table.

"Your Majesty, your nephew feels that the military situation is urgent and must discuss countermeasures as soon as possible. "The State of Dongyu is right next to our country, and we can talk our way out of it. If the State of Beiyue were to really annex the State of Dongyu, then our country's situation would be precarious as well …" Fang Zinan analyzed the details, revealing a trace of worry.

The emperor waved his hand to stop him from speaking, "It is a very important matter for us to send troops to the Kingdom of Dongyu. We have to discuss this with the ministers before we can make a decision." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Dongfang Luo Li: "Princess Liu Li, I promise you that I will never allow the Beiyue Kingdom to invade the territory of the Dongyu Kingdom."

A look of gratitude appeared on Dong Fang Luo Li's face. She raised her voice, "Dong Fang Luo Li, on behalf of the people of the Kingdom of Dongyu, thank you very much, your majesty!"

At this moment, he suddenly saw a young eunuch kneel down from outside, "Reporting to your majesty, the Minister of War, Minister Zuo, requests an audience."

"Send him in."

Just as the emperor's voice faded away, the Minister of War, Zuo Tiancheng, walked in from outside and knelt on the floor. He said, "This official, Zuo Tiancheng, pays his respect to the king."

"Rise."

"Thank you, your majesty."

When the emperor saw Zuo Tiancheng's panicked expression, he asked, "What happened in such a hurry?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the general situation of the Kingdom of Dongyu is not good …" Even Fang Zinan and the emperor were moved by his words. Zuo Tiancheng continued, "The army of the Northern State of Yue raided the Kingdom of Dongyu, and right now, the capital of the Kingdom of Dongyu, Dongning City, has already fallen. In order to bring the people of the Kingdom of Dongyu to their knees, the State of Beiyue slaughtered wantonly tens of thousands of people …"

Dong Fang Luo Li was so anxious that her face turned pale. She took a step forward and asked, "May I ask sire how is my royal father?"

"Reportedly, after the fall of Dongning City, the Emperor of the Empire of Dongyu went missing."

Dong Fang Luo Li was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. She turned around and kneeled in front of the emperor: "Your majesty, my royal father and my subjects are currently in a state of suffering. I beg you, your majesty, to immediately send troops to Dongyu to save our subjects …" The voice was sincere, and at the end it was choked with sobs, making one feel sad.

The Emperor thought for a moment and then consoled her, "Princess Liu Li, you don't have to worry. You can temporarily stay in the Residence of Prince Rong and wait for me to arrange everything properly before I can help you restore your Empire to its former glory. I will protect your royal father."

"Thank you, your majesty …" Dong Fang Luo Li then looked up pitifully.

"Since this matter is urgent, please ask the Emperor and the Minister of the court to discuss it. Nephew will bring Princess Liu Li back to the residence first." Fang Zinan saw that he had achieved his goal and that there was no need for him to stay here, so he asked the emperor for his leave.

"You may leave."

Fang Zinan led Dong Fang Luo Li out of the Hall of Peace. Dong Fang Luo Li's brows were still tightly knitted, and her expression was sullen.

"Princess Liu Li, don't be too worried. Since the Emperor has agreed to help you, as long as you discuss this with the ministers of the imperial court, he will quickly dispatch troops to help …" Although Fang Zinan didn't care about the situation, he still couldn't help but try to persuade Dong Fang Luo Li when he saw her sad expression.

Dong Fang Luo Li nodded her head: "Since the emperor has promised me, I won't be worrying about this matter. I'm worried about the safety of my father. I wonder how he's doing right now?"

"Your royal father's whereabouts are unknown, he must have been protected by your country's loyal people. No news about him, so it should be the best news."

When Dong Fang Luo Li heard this, her expression relaxed.

"Let's go, let's return to the House of the Concubine King. It's useless even if you think about it too much right now." Fang Zinan led Dong Fang Luo Li back to the house.

Dongfang Jingli silently followed behind Fang Zinan. She looked at the man in front of her and still felt that he was very similar to her royal brother. Maybe Fang Zinan and his royal brother didn't have any resemblance, but their eyes were just like each other. They were both so sad and so carefree. They didn't care about each other at all. When she first saw Fang Zinan, she thought he was her royal brother. They gave off a very similar feeling. This was very strange!

Fang Zinan suddenly asked: "You've been staring at me for a long time, I want to ask you who you said I'm very similar to?"

"One of my royal brothers, I think you two are too similar." The more Dong Fang Luo Li spoke, the more she felt it was true.

Fang Zinan stopped walking and turned his head to glance back: "If I have the chance, I'd like to meet this brother of yours. Do we look that similar?"

"No, it's not like that." Dong Fang Luo Li gestured and said: "You don't look like him at all, but your eyes and the expression between your brows are too similar." Speaking up to here, Dongfang Luoli suddenly thought of the day when she was about to faint in the Rong King Manor. She had been held by Fang Zinan, and she had even thought that she had met a shameless person. She couldn't help but blush.

Fang Zinan didn't notice this and turned around as if he was talking to himself, "I just thought you were a bit strange that day, but I didn't expect you to be Princess Liu-Li from Dongyu Country. I also didn't expect you to be such a beautiful woman …"

Fang Zinan's voice was calm, so calm that it didn't have the slightest feeling. Even when he was praising someone, he still felt like he was just stating a matter. It was so natural, so plain, and not like he was praising someone. However, when Dong Fang Luo Li heard this, her heart started beating like a little deer. Ever since she was young, she had always heard beautiful words from the imperial palace. This was the first time she had ever heard Fang Zinan speak with such a bland tone, but then she felt that his words were sincere. At the very least, they were much more sincere than those flattering officials …
