After expressing your feelings, you still have to continue doing what you should do.

At this moment, Luo Nianxi was sitting in the Chaofeng Palace, looking at the gorgeous phoenix crown and bridal robe on herself through the bronze mirror. She felt no surprise in her heart, but only worry.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening during today's coronation ceremony, she specifically asked Bai Lan to send the three children back to Prince Yan's Mansion at night, and asked Hong Yan to stay in the mansion to watch over them to ensure the children's safety.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is ready, please go over..."

When she heard Chuntao's reminder, her heart rose to her throat.

She stood up, and with the help of Hong Yan, walked out of the Chaofeng Palace and went straight to the main hall.

Along the way, she felt extremely heavy-hearted, and she had a premonition that something was bound to happen today.

When she arrived at the door of the hall, Leng Yiyan, also wearing a dragon robe, walked over.

He came closer, took her hand, and whispered:

"My dear, today is our coronation ceremony, but the king and queen of Xuanyuan have arrived. The 100,000 troops they brought have already set up camp ten miles outside Chang'an City. I guess they are pretending to show goodwill, but in fact they are here to force the emperor to abdicate..."

"So what are you going to do, sir?"

"The person is already in the hall. Let's see what happens next!"

They only knew that Leng Yicheng was causing trouble in the suburbs, but they didn't expect that people from Xuanyuan Country would come, and that the king and queen would come in person.

If the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom really started a war at this time, they might be overwhelmed.

This is probably why Leng Yiyan has been worried.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

When Ling Yun's voice sounded, the ministers in the hall knelt down one after another, shouting,

"The new emperor ascends the throne, which is a blessing for the people. Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the queen."

Leng Yu, dressed in a yellow robe, walked straight to the dragon throne with a solemn expression. Luo Nianxi followed him and sat beside him after he sat down.

"Everyone get up!"

He waved his hand and everyone stood up from the ground. He glanced at the ministers and saw that Grand Tutor Xiao Hong and Shangshu Xiao Ming, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared among the ministers.

Seeing this scene, he pulled a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Su Yi who was standing beside him.

"Go and invite the king and queen of Xuanyuan Country."

Su Yi nodded after hearing this and went straight to the outside of the hall. After a while, two middle-aged men and women in gorgeous clothes walked in.

Behind them, there were dozens of people holding long swords. Seeing this, Jiang Hai and Ling Yun stepped forward to stop them.

"You are not allowed to enter the hall with a sword. Please put down your swords."

Upon hearing this, King Sangtun of Xuanyuan raised his hand with disdain to stop him.

"We in Xuanyuan Country can enter with swords at will, so why can't you? I came here in person, but you want to take away our weapons? Could it be that you have some bad intentions?"

As soon as he said this, Su Yi frowned in annoyance and then looked at Leng Yiyan.

Long Yiyan, who was sitting on the cold chair, saw the situation at the door clearly. He nodded slightly, and Su Yi snorted lightly and made way.

Seeing that no one was stopping them, Sangtun swaggered in with Queen Chun and the twenty or so guards armed with weapons.

Upon seeing this, the ministers of Pingyang State hurriedly retreated to the sides, leaving the positions facing Leng Yiyan.

When Sang Tun came closer, without waiting for Leng Yiyan to speak, the guards behind him directly moved two chairs on the left and right sides and asked them to sit down.

Sang Tun looked at Leng Yiyan who was sitting in the main seat and snorted with disdain.

"Little Emperor, you just ascended the throne today, are you going to put on airs in front of me?"

His questioning made Leng Yiyan's brows tighten instantly.

"King Sang, what are you talking about? You came to the palace with dozens of guards, holding weapons, and I didn't say anything, but you accused me of being pretentious? How did I put on airs?"

"You are the emperor of Pingyang, and I am the king of Xuanyuan. We have the same status. Why do you sit higher than me? Don't you know to come down and look at me at eye level?"

Seeing that Sang Tun was deliberately looking for trouble, Leng Yiyan's mouth curled slightly, glanced at Luo Nianxi, and nodded.

"Someone, move my throne to the side opposite King Sang."

After saying this, he walked forward and took the hand of Luo Nianxi who had already stood up, and walked together to Sangtun and Queen Chun. Then he sat on the chairs brought over by two eunuchs. Then someone moved the table between them, served tea, and all the servants stepped aside.

Those ministers stood there as if watching a play, not saying a word, their eyes fixed on them.

Four people, four pairs of eyes, stared at each other, with majesty and murderous intent in their eyes.

Luo Nianxi raised her hand to signal,

"King Sang, Queen Chun, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please have some water."

King Sang kept staring at Leng Yiyan. He tapped his fingers on the table in front of him but did not take the cup of tea.

Queen Chun glanced at Luo Nianxi, gave her an awkward smile, and was about to take the cup of water when she was stopped by King Sang.

“Don’t drink…”

Luo Nianxi gave a helpless bitter smile.

"Why? King Sang is still afraid that I'll poison his tea?"

King Sang snorted.

"It's important to be on guard against others. I hope the Queen doesn't mind."

"Why would I mind? The two of you came to Pingyang State without sending a visiting card, and the emperor and I didn't mind. Why would I mind if you didn't drink the tea I poured?"

As soon as she said this, Sangtun's face immediately showed displeasure.

"Humph! If we didn't have something to do, we wouldn't want to come to your Pingyang Country even if you invited us."

"What do you two want?"

At this point, she glanced at Leng Yiyan and said:

"I heard that you two have seen the deposed Crown Prince Leng Yicheng in the suburbs of the city?"

Sang Wei was a little surprised when this question was asked.

He didn't expect that his whereabouts would be known to Leng Yiyan and Luo Nianxi.

He calmed down and said straight to the point:

"Since you all know, we won't hide it. This time we brought a hundred thousand troops to Chang'an City, not to start a war with your country, we are just looking for someone. If we find him, we will go back. If not, we will raze Chang'an City to the ground."

"presumptuous!"

His words completely angered Leng Yiyan.

"Your people are missing, what does it have to do with my Pingyang State? You actually threaten to destroy Chang'an City? How shameless."

"Hahaha……"

Sangtun was not annoyed, but laughed heartily.

"The person I'm looking for must have been lost in your Pingyang country. Otherwise, why would I come here to look for him?"

"Even if the person you are looking for is in Pingyang, it doesn't mean you have to destroy Pingyang if you can't find him. I order you to leave Pingyang immediately. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether your 100,000 troops can return in full."

"Snapped!"

Sang Tun slammed the table heavily, scaring Queen Chun, who was sitting next to him, so much that she trembled, and Luo Nianxi also shivered.

"Hmph! Little Emperor, I will give you two options now. One, if you help me find the person I'm looking for, I will let the people of Chang'an go. Second, give up the throne and let Leng Yicheng take the throne. He will help me find the person."

"Humph! That's just wishful thinking."
