"My conditions are also very simple, as long as you guarantee that you will not initiate war as long as you are in power."
Xi Feiyan hesitated. Although this aligned with his original intention, he disliked the position stained with blood without any special reason.
From childhood to adulthood, his dream had always been to become a good doctor.
So after his mother died, he traveled thousands of miles to a country with customs and habits completely different from Xi Country, abandoned his original values, and wholeheartedly learned medicine from a woman. He had truly sacrificed a lot for this.
Now, his dream had come true, but he had to return to his country due to various irresistible factors and contend for that position. He was actually not very willing in his heart.
Feiyan paused for a moment, then said, "I will consider it carefully. However, I will not leave until the antidote is researched. Besides, His Majesty would not want me to leave, right?"
"Of course!" Xing Yuan smiled lazily. "I cherish my life!"
Xing Yuan received the envoy from Xi Country in the great hall.
Hmm~ After the ministers repeatedly advised her not to speak when receiving envoys from an enemy country, she peaceably became a salted fish.
Naturally, they had to start with mutual praise.
In recent years, there had been skirmishes on the border between the two countries, but with one victory and one defeat, it was a draw. Therefore, Xi Country naturally placed itself on equal footing.
However, how to perfectly promote their Crown Prince was a problem.
Thus, one of the envoys suddenly said to Xing Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne watching the fun, "Your Majesty, my Xi Country's Emperor intends to form a marriage alliance with Feng Nian Country to maintain peace between the two nations. What are Your Majesty's thoughts?"
Xing Yuan blinked her eyes in confusion, then came back to her senses after the Prime Minister coughed twice.
Xing~ wronged~ Yuan glanced at Ning Yue with resentment. Seeing that no one stood up to speak for her, she sat up straight, and the majesty of a sovereign was fully displayed at this moment.
Xing Yuan's lazy voice echoed in the hall, "I don't think it's necessary! Previously, Xi Country only won two battles by taking advantage of the internal strife in Feng Nian Country. If war breaks out now, it is yet to be known who will win!"
The envoy's face stiffened, then turned red. Just as he was about to retort, Xing Yuan's next sentence came.
"However! If Xi Country intends to leave your Crown Prince here to find a good marriage, I naturally will not refuse."
Xing Yuan frowned, a thoughtful expression on her face, then sighed faintly, "I currently have no heirs, and my siblings are still young. Thinking carefully, there isn't a single one who is worthy of the Xi Crown Prince."
A round of sarcastic remarks infuriated the envoy. Xi Nanshan, who had always had things his way, could not bear such humiliation.
He immediately stepped forward and said to Xing Yuan in a loud voice, "Does a dignified sovereign only have such a small mind? I believe I am more than qualified to be Your Majesty's consort."
Xing Yuan's face darkened instantly. She stared at him with a deep gaze. Just as everyone felt the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, Xing Yuan suddenly smiled.
"Does the Crown Prince mean he wants to marry me?" Xing Yuan stood up and walked in front of Xi Nanshan, her eyes filled with scrutiny and mockery.
She sneered, "Unfortunately! My eyes are perfectly fine, and I don't fancy the Crown Prince."
Xi Nanshan was furious. He had always been the one who looked down on others; when had it ever been the turn of others to reject him?
Seeing Xing Yuan turn to walk back, his mind went blank, and he threw a punch.
His intention was only to restrain her and prevent her from looking down on him anymore. He had practiced martial arts for many years and was naturally full of confidence.
But as Xing Yuan turned, she directly knocked him to the ground.
Xi Nanshan's back burned with pain, but he ignored it because Xing Yuan suddenly stepped on his leg. He could even clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.
The Xi Country envoy also quickly realized what had happened. He gave Xi Nanshan a look of disappointment and then quickly knelt and apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive him. The Crown Prince is young and acted impulsively!"
The Prime Minister seemed to have just realized what was happening and slowly added, "Our country's Your Majesty is also young. If you calculate carefully, it seems she is even a few months younger than the Crown Prince of Xi Country!"
The ministers of Feng Nian Country covered their mouths, trying hard not to laugh. The Prime Minister's sharp tongue was finally being used on another country.
Xing Yuan seemed to still be angry. She lifted her foot and broke Xi Nanshan's other leg.
The Prime Minister, worried that His Majesty might kill someone, silently gave a look to Ning Yue, the only one who could possibly persuade His Majesty.
Ning Yue felt a little regretful. She really wanted to leave this person's life here! However, crippling him was almost as good.
Ning Yue gently tugged at Xing Yuan. Xing Yuan, feeling wronged, directly fainted and fell elegantly into Ning Yue's arms.
No way! Where was their ferocious Majesty? She fainted from dealing with such a weakling?
Facing the bewildered gazes of the ministers, Ning Yue smiled awkwardly but politely.
Ning Yue gently ground her teeth and lightly pinched the soft flesh on Xing Yuan's waist.
Xing Yuan's body trembled slightly, but she still firmly chose to pretend to be unconscious.
Fine! Who could wake up someone who was pretending to be unconscious? Moreover, this person was their Emperor.
The Prime Minister's eyes darted around, and he suddenly shouted in alarm, "Guards! Where are the guards? The Xi Country Crown Prince has assassinated His Majesty! Hurry and escort him to prison!"
The Xi Country envoy broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes full of disbelief.
What? He was beaten, and he was also to be accused of assassination. Were these people from Feng Nian Country crazy?
Although he had some cunning and knew his father's intentions for sending him here, he had never expected that the Emperor of Feng Nian Country would be so direct and disregard diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The guards who rushed in from outside the hall knew nothing of this. Seeing their Young General holding their "weak" Majesty, they all became enraged.
Although their Majesty was not a good person, she was still their Majesty, a sovereign!
How could a dignified sovereign be bullied to their doorstep? Could they tolerate this?
Oh! They did notice that his legs were broken when they grabbed Xi Nanshan's shoulders, but what did that have to do with them?
After all, the Young General was so fierce, it was normal for her to "accidentally" break his legs in a moment of urgency!
The guards, with telepathic understanding, pulled these people from Xi Country and swiftly sent them to prison.
The ministers watched this scene with wide eyes and gave the Prime Minister a look of admiration.
Wow! So this was how it could be done. Why had they never thought of it before?
The Prime Minister smiled smugly, then glanced at the "pretending to be unconscious" Xing Yuan, shook his head helplessly, and was the first to walk out of the hall.
The other ministers exchanged glances and simply followed the Prime Minister out.
Such a bizarre incident had happened today, and they needed to have a good chat.
