It had been three days since Feng Liuyun left, and this was the first time Wanqi Shuang felt the pain of missing someone.

"Oh, my princess, I finally found you. Why were you still climbing up the tree? His Majesty has ordered that the Chu State delegation will visit tomorrow and asked you to prepare to attend the banquet tomorrow." The eunuch looked anxious.

It was obvious that he had been looking for Wanqi Shuang for a long time.

"A delegation is visiting? Hasn't the State of Chu always been at odds with us? Why are they coming at this time?" Wanqi Shuang asked.

The chief eunuch was unable to explain and could only reply vaguely: "We don't know either. You have to ask your Majesty. It is said that a princess was sent to marry."

Wanqi Shuang was furious when he heard this. What was the intention of this damn Chu State? In order to stabilize the court, my father had taken in a concubine named Zhuang, which had already damaged the relationship between my father and my mother.

Not to mention that Concubine Zhuang gave birth to a prince first. Although he was not a legitimate son, he was only two years younger than Wanqi Shuang. Is there another one coming now?

Although Wanqi Shuang was unhappy, he had no right to question anything, and he couldn't even do anything.

Soon it was time for the palace banquet the next day.

The scene was very grand, just to show the national strength of Wei State and not let people look down on it. However, it was a well-known fact that Wei State was weaker than Chu State.

This generation of emperors was considered the most wise emperors in recent generations, but it still could not change the fact that the Wei State was gradually declining.

It was a beautiful day with a gentle breeze. It was a good day, but some people were happy while others were sad. In the State of Chu, the princess who was to be married was originally a prostitute, but she was unexpectedly favored by the prince.

She was introduced to the emperor of Chu, who granted her the noble status of a princess and the surname of the emperor, and asked her to marry into the state of Wei.

"Peony, how are you preparing?" The charming lady was putting on makeup at the dressing table. A man's voice came from behind her.

Upon hearing this, Shaoyao turned around happily and looked at the noble and handsome man in front of her.

"Your Highness, Shaoyao will definitely not let you down." Shaoyao's eyes were full of admiration for the man she loved the most.

She is willing to do anything.

"Okay, from today on, you are Xiong Feiyan. You are the princess of my Chu country. You must remember this. And, you know that I am merciless to betrayers."

"Yes, Feiyan knows." The woman bowed.

The royal family of Chu was named Xiong. His Highness the Crown Prince was named Xiong Yi, courtesy name Tu Nan. He could recognize a thousand characters at the age of three, could compose poetry at the age of five, and could ride horses and shoot arrows at the age of seven.

He is the son that the King of Chu values ​​the most. The King of Chu has always cultivated him with great care.

It was only an hour later.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a handsome man. The King of Chu has raised a good son. Haha." The Emperor of Wei State was speaking in official language to Xiong Yi.

After some mutual probing, an envoy initiated a new idea, prompting Princess Feiyan to perform a dance for the Emperor of Wei.

The Emperor of Weiguo gladly accepted it. It was already approaching evening and the sky was gradually getting darker.

Along with the melodious music, a beautiful woman in a spotless white dance dress descended from the sky. Her dress emitted a soft fluorescent light, making her look like a fairy descending from the earth.

The dance was so stunning that it completely captivated the heart of the Emperor of Wei.

In this way, this woman was named Consort Yan and was taken into the harem. No one noticed that Xiong Yi had been looking at someone inconspicuously at the banquet.

The two countries drafted a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance, and the Chu delegation returned.

Days passed like this, but the good times didn't last long. Wanqi Shuang's father's health had been deteriorating recently. Today, he fainted in the palace.

The imperial physician confirmed that he had been poisoned, and they could only prepare for his death. When they realized that it might be the work of the princess of Chu, the princess had already disappeared. Not a trace of her could be found.

When she was extremely anxious, Wanqi Shuang suddenly thought of the life-saving pill that Feng Liuyun left for her. She urgently fed one to her father, and at least his life was saved.

The next day, the border was in danger.

It turned out that the news was spread that the emperor had passed away, the Wei State was in chaos, and the people were in panic.

As a princess of Wei, Wanqi Shuang volunteered to go to the front line. The Emperor of Wei had no choice but to agree.

Wanqi Shuang led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the border day and night. They slept in the open air along the way. Finally, they arrived.

The army's morale was greatly boosted when they heard the news that the emperor was safe. Especially when Her Royal Highness the Princess led the army forward and killed people in all directions, the soldiers were even more excited.

This battle was a great victory. The soldiers shouted long live.

Even Wanqi Shuang's reputation in the army was unprecedentedly high. Everyone in the army knew that there was a princess who was brave and good at fighting. Soon the news of victory was passed back.

His Majesty has issued an order to reward the three armies. Wanqi Shuang is to be made the Princess Protector of the Nation. She is to be given a fief of 300. All meritorious officers and soldiers are to be rewarded.

Wanqi Shuang felt so happy for the first time, relying on herself to build a career. She smiled all the way back. On the way, she kept asking when she could go back.

Finally returning to the capital, on a high terrace, the slightly frail Emperor Wei rewarded his daughter and soldiers.

When the chief eunuch finished singing the imperial edict and Wanqi Shuang received the order, an arrow was shot from the bow, taking the life of Emperor Wei. Just like that, in full view of everyone, Emperor Wei... died!

It turned out that after the Chu State learned that Emperor Wei was not dead, it immediately deployed troops and waited for an opportunity to assassinate Emperor Wei.

Wanqi Shuang couldn't accept it and was stunned. It wasn't until the new emperor ascended the throne and the emperor's funeral that she came to her senses. She didn't know how she had gotten through the past few days.

Her father, just like that, died in front of her eyes, without even his head intact... She couldn't breathe, and her whole body felt like a fish about to die of thirst.

[Chu State, Chu State, I will never coexist with you! ]

Wanqi Shuang's eyes turned red, and she couldn't even cry in front of her father's tomb.

After everything was settled, Wanqi Shuang, dressed in white and armor, was about to mount his horse and rush out of the palace.

It was the Queen who stopped her. They had just experienced a war, the late Emperor had passed away, and it was a time of civil unrest. It was not the time to act willfully.

"Mother, get out of the way. I want to avenge my father!" Wanqi Shuang's eyes were cold, and hatred had overwhelmed her rationality. The hand holding the spear began to turn pale.

"If you want to go out, you have to step over our mother first. Don't you care about Weiguo anymore? Don't you want Heng'er anymore? Don't you even want our mother anymore?" The queen was almost in tears.

How could she not hate her husband's death? She hated it more than anyone else. But how could such a big country be so emotional? Let her daughter die?

To mobilize troops and generals, a lot of manpower, material resources, relationships, and connections are needed. It is not something that can be done by just talking or moving your mouth. Moreover, Heng'er has just ascended the throne, and the throne is unstable. How can he start a war?
