Leng Ruozhen's eyes flashed with anger, and she said aggrievedly, "What do you mean by telling the truth? Your Majesty, Young Master Yan clearly has something against me."

"Why? Lady Zhenfei, do you think that the Emperor is just like you, and only listens to flattery?"

"If the people in the court do not do practical work, but only talk, nodding and fawning on the emperor, then wouldn't it be like using the national treasury to support a bunch of useless people? I'm afraid that the country of Yu is not far from being destroyed."

Yan Sheng said calmly that she was not afraid of offending Yu Haotian. At worst, she would just give up being the Crown Prince's Guardian.

Everyone was shocked and worried for Yan Sheng. Did he want to lose his head by saying such things in front of Yu Haotian?

Leng Yan'an was shocked. Yan Sheng had scolded all the ministers in the court. The ministers of Yu Kingdom were divided into three major factions.

Almost no minister in the court dared to give advice, make suggestions, or speak the truth, and there were countless ministers who flattered the emperor.

The Yu Kingdom is now ruled by treacherous ministers, and Gu Ye is the head of all officials and the father-in-law of Yu Haotian.

Gu Ye is a member of the prince's party on the surface, but in fact he is from Yu Yushi's faction. Only Concubine Xiao's father Xiao Beiting can restrain him.

Xiao Beiting is the general of Yu State and the father-in-law of Yu Haotian. He has military power and is the backer of Yu Zhihan.

Master Shen is temporarily neutral in the court, while Crown Prince Xue Jingxu belongs to the Yu Qianmo faction.

"How dare you, Young Master Yan? I have been tolerant of you because you are from Xuemen, but you actually said such treasonous words."

Yu Haotian's pupils sank slightly and he spoke in a stern voice, but in his heart he somewhat agreed with Yan Sheng's words.

Now Yu Haotian no longer has much real power and has been basically sidelined. Only the Imperial Guards are still in his hands.

"Your Majesty, you can't let him off easily." Leng Ruozhen said with a sneer.

"Master Yan, since you said that people in the court cannot just rely on flattery and must do practical things, then I will send you to Qing State to find a way to sign a peace treaty with Qing State."

Yu Haotian thought for a while and said that the newly found crown prince Qing Yi was a man of both civil and military talents, helping the emperor of Qing to handle state affairs.

Moreover, it seemed that Qing Yi had some power behind him, and in just two months, he returned the scattered military power to Prince Qing.

Faced with obstruction from multiple forces, Qing Yi was able to take it all down, showing his unfathomable strength.

There have been many rumors that the Emperor of Qing is about to abdicate in favor of Qing Yiye.

If Qing Yi had also ascended the throne, given his vigorous and decisive approach, it is unknown whether he would have sent troops to attack the State of Yu.

Apart from General Xiao Beiting and Crown Prince Xue Jingxu, the Yu Kingdom had no one else who could lead the troops to fight.

Yu Haotian has always been wary of General Xiao Beiting's military power, and Xue Jingxu's father is a founding hero.

This made Yu Haotian uneasy, as there were not many available ministers in the court.

Once Yu State and Qing State start a war, Yu State will probably face internal and external troubles.

They can only try to sign a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Qing first. If that doesn't work, they can only send the princess to the Kingdom of Yue to marry and become Yue's ally.

Yan Sheng has good strength and ability, a clean background, and does not belong to any party. If he were to go to Qing Kingdom as an envoy, perhaps the negotiations would be successful.

"If I do this, how will the Emperor reward me?"

Yan Sheng said calmly, this is too easy, it can be done in minutes, and besides, she doesn’t want to see the two countries go to war.

When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. Once a war breaks out, it is the people who suffer.

Yan Sheng thought that Yu Haotian was going to fire her, but unexpectedly he wanted to reuse her. It seems that Yu Haotian is quite smart when it comes to major matters.

She would not be completely obsessed with beauty. Yu Haotian had great vision in choosing her to go to Qing Kingdom.

If it were any other minister, the matter would most likely be canceled. Yan Sheng was originally going to the old temple on the border after the New Year to see what secrets the jade pendant held.

Now I have a legitimate reason to leave the capital and go out and play with Nanxi.

"If you succeed, I will make you the first-rank guardian. If you fail, I will dismiss you from your position as the crown prince's guardian."

Yu Haotian's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Yan Sheng chuckled and said, "Okay, it's settled then."

Yu Zhihan, Leng Yanan and Chen Jiang were a little surprised. They thought Yu Haotian would be furious and punish Yan Sheng for Leng Ruozhen?

I didn't expect that Yu Haotian would arrange Yan Sheng as an envoy to go to Qing Kingdom. It seems that he still values ​​Yan Sheng very much.

"Your Majesty, Yan Sheng is a traitor. Why do you want him to go to Qing as an envoy of Yu?"

Leng Ruozhen said unhappily that Yu Haotian did not punish Yan Sheng. If Yan Sheng successfully signed a peace treaty with Qing Kingdom, Yu Haotian would even make him the Grand Protector.

"Empress Zhen, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Do I need to teach you this?"

Yu Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a somewhat cold tone. He hated it most when people from the harem interfered in politics.

Leng Ruozhen was stunned, and quickly bowed and said, "It was I who crossed the line, Your Majesty, please don't be angry with me."

"Get up. You are pregnant. Stop wandering around and go back to your palace."

Yu Haotian said calmly that if Leng Ruozhen didn't look like Concubine Xian, he wouldn't have taken her as his concubine.

After all, Prime Minister Leng Chengxun’s power is great enough to restrain Xiao Beiyan.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Seeing this, Leng Ruozhen didn't dare to say anything more, so as not to displease Yu Haotian.

Before Xiaoqiu left, she glanced at Leng Yanan reluctantly and said softly, "Crown Princess, Xiaoqiu can no longer take care of you, please take care of yourself."

Leng Yanan nodded somewhat sadly, and said secretly in his heart, "Xiaoqiu, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you."

Watching Xiaoqiu follow Leng Ruozhen away, Leng Yan'an lowered his eyes, a stern look flashing across his eyes.

"Master Yan, you will go to Qing Kingdom the day after tomorrow. I will be waiting for your good news."

Yu Haotian raised his eyes to look at Yan Sheng and said calmly, then turned around and left with Eunuch Gao.

"Master Yan, you are awesome. You are so brave to say that. I was almost scared to death behind you."

Chen Jiang only dared to speak after Yu Haotian left. He was almost suffocating.

Yu Zhihan whispered, "Yan Sheng, you are a little impulsive this time. The mission of an envoy is not easy to handle."

Although countries generally do not kill envoys, the Crown Prince Qing Yi of Qing was killed on the border between Yu and Qing.

Fortunately, Qing Yi survived, but there was still some grudge. Yu Zhihan did not believe that Qing Kingdom would receive Yu Kingdom's envoys in a friendly manner.

But if Qing Kingdom refuses to sign a peace agreement, Yan Sheng will be dismissed from his post when he returns to Yu Kingdom, and Yu Zhihan doesn't want to be without a teacher.

"I know it well."

Yan Sheng said calmly that she was not worried, Qing Yi was also in his prime and often wrote to her to tell her about Qingguo.

Qing Yi now possesses military power and is a true crown prince, the only thing left for him to do is ascend the throne.

"That's good, Yan An. I will arrange two more considerate palace maids to serve you. Don't take Xiao Qiu's matter to heart."

Yu Zhihan saw that Leng Yanan was a little depressed, and said in a gentle voice.
