The man who doted on his daughter-in-law couldn't object in the end, so he had the person taken to the meeting room.

"Xunse greets Duke Dingguo, the first-rank lady."

"Xun Fei greets Duke Dingguo, the first-rank lady." The brother and sister entered the room and greeted in unison.

Although they were princes and princesses, they were in another country at the moment, and they were still prisoners. If you ask for help from others, you should naturally correct your attitude.

Xun Fei didn't feel at all that it was unpleasant for her as a princess to bow to officials from another country.

You know, she had even knelt down before in order to ask this lady to save the emperor's brother Xun Qing.

At that time, she said that as long as her brother was cured, she would be willing to work like a slave for the lady in the future to repay her.

Now, her brother's illness has been cured, but Xun Fei just doesn't know how to bring up the previous incident again.

Seeing that her husband had no intention of speaking, Mu Yingbao wanted to ask the siblings to sit down and talk, but she thought of her husband being there. If she asked the siblings to sit down, he would not dare to do anything to her, but would be unfriendly to them!

After taking a look at her man's expression, well, his face wasn't looking much better now.

"I wonder what you two want to talk about?" Mu Yingbao didn't even dare to chat with them about family matters and went straight to the point.

After hearing this, Xun Ying glanced at Xue Wenyu first, then quickly looked away.

Before coming here, I discussed with Xun Fei that I would meet this first-rank lady and ask her to help convey the message to the Duke.

Xun Fei meant that this first-rank lady was kind and easy to talk to.

If they talk to her first, maybe she will help them speak well of them in front of Duke Xue.

But the couple are here, so should I speak again and emphasize that I only want to talk to Madam Yipin?

How is that possible? If that were the case, I would have offended Duke Xue on the spot.

The Lady of the First Rank was kind and easy to talk to, but what the two of them were asking for now could only be solved by the Lady of the Weak Rank.

, that's not a

Because this is not a weak request for Madam Yipin to treat a patient.

Sending troops to help Xixiang fight against Wuyu State is a big deal, which concerns the interests between countries.

Would Yan State really offend Wu Yu State and become an enemy of Wu Yu State for Xi Xiang?

Xun Fei, who was standing by, knew best what was going on in Xun Ying's mind at the moment, but she naturally did not dare to ask to talk to Madam Yipin alone.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, come back. What time is it?" Xue Wenyu, who was standing aside, looked at Zhou Hong's son. When he saw himself being so conflicted, he got angry and spoke impatiently.

Don't think he didn't see what this kid was thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Ying spoke anxiously, "My brother and I would like to ask Duke Xue to send troops to Xixiang to help us out of the crisis."

If I don't speak quickly, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out by this person and I won't have the chance to speak again.

Let’s not talk about whether what I’m asking for this time can be accomplished, but if I don’t even have a chance to speak, then it will definitely not be accomplished.

"What? Did I hear it right? You want me to lead troops to Xixiang to fight against the Wu Yu Kingdom?" Xue Wenyu was suddenly amused and asked with a smile.

It was so funny. He had previously guessed that the brother and sister came here just to beg their brothers and sisters to go.

Who would have thought that they would dare to say that? No, they really dared to think so!

If Xixiang had some friendship with Yan State in the past, it would be understandable for them to ask for help.

However, the relationship between Yan State and Xixiang has always been bad.

&n/> Since the establishment of the Xixiang Kingdom, it has gone through several emperors. No matter which emperor was in power, he would send troops to invade the Yan Kingdom.

Even without mentioning the past, this kid's father, Emperor Zhou Hong, has issued orders to send troops to invade the border of Yan State several times since he ascended the throne.

Xue Wenyu's smiling question was a naked mockery to Xun Ying. The boy's face suddenly turned red and he felt so ashamed that Mu Yingbao was worried that the boy would commit suicide by banging his head against the wall out of impulse.

"Cough cough." Mu Yingbao couldn't bear it anymore, so he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.

Can't you give your man a hint to be a little more careful and tactful when speaking?

After all, the other party is still a half-grown child with a fragile mind and cannot withstand such a direct blow.

Mu Yingbao glanced at Xun Fei, and when he saw the self-blaming look in her eyes when she was talking to Xun Ying, he thought of a possibility.

The reason why these two kids came tonight and what they said was most likely this girl's idea.

After getting a hint from his wife, Xue Wenyu looked at her and spread his hands, meaning that I didn't say anything wrong, I was just stating the fact.

In front of Xun Ying and his sister, Mu Yingbao couldn't say anything about her man. Besides, her man didn't say anything wrong.

Seeing Xun Ying being put out by her man with just one sentence, Xun Fei's face turned pale, and Mu Yingbao felt that she should say something.

"Okay, since you and your sister have already told us your purpose, let's go back first. We certainly can't get a reply right away. After all, this matter is of great importance, and my husband will have to think about it and consider it carefully." Mu Yingbao didn't want the poor brother and sister to continue suffering here.

"Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Duke Xue. My brother and I will go back first." Xun Fei was very moved when she heard that.

Xun Fei thanked him, and seeing that Jiu Ge was still standing there in a daze with his head down, she wanted to remind him to thank her quickly, but unfortunately Jiu Ge didn't even look at her.

"Okay, go back. If you don't go back, I'm afraid everyone in that courtyard will be worried." Mu Yingbao also saw Xun Fei's anxiety and helped her out with a smile.

Xun Fei bowed respectfully to Mu Yingbao and his wife, then walked out with her absent-minded Ninth Brother.

"Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you? We are the ones who come here to ask for help. Didn't the lady say that she would consider and weigh the matter? You were so rude just now." After returning to the yard next door, Xun Fei complained in a low voice.

"Consider? Consider? Eleventh sister, royal brother, I said you are naive, you are not convinced, right? Didn't you hear that what the First Rank Lady said was just to perfunctorily appease you and me. I really regret it. Why did I foolishly listen to you and really go? Isn't this asking for humiliation?" Xun Ying said with guilt and annoyance, then flicked his sleeves and walked quickly to the room where he lived.

The little ones who were waiting at the door happily went forward to greet him, but ignored him.

Xun Ying stopped where he was with red eyes, muttering to himself, "How is this self-humiliation? Didn't I say before that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I should give it a try? Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least I have tried."

"Royal sister, what happened to the ninth brother?"

"Yeah, where have you been? Why is Ninth Brother so angry?" Several children ran to Xun Fei. The guards didn't dare to ask, so they all asked at once. "Royal sister, Royal sister, what happened to Ninth Brother?"

"Yeah, where have you been? Why is Ninth Brother so angry?" Several younger ones ran towards Xun Fei. The guards didn't dare to ask, so they all asked at the same time.

Facing her brothers and sisters, Xun Fei quickly held back her tears. "It's okay, it's okay. Ninth brother thought he could hear news about Xixiang by going out, but it was a waste of time. The people of Yan State are very strict and won't say anything."

Oh, so that's what's going on. The little ones nodded repeatedly and followed the princess into the house.

The guards nearby were no children and knew that what Princess Eleven had just said was a lie.

They also knew that His Highness the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Princess went to see the First Rank Lady, so there must be something going on. But they were not aware of what it was, so they dared not to tell them…
