"Your Highness, help me, Your Highness, save me..." The servant shouted while hugging Ling Qi Yan's thighs tightly.

Ling Qiyan kicked the attendant away. He was really a person who could not do anything good but always caused trouble.

Dongfang Chenhao's eyes pressed on Ling Qiyan, and he said angrily: "Perhaps our country's national strength is not as good as your country's, but we are definitely not weak people who allow others to bully us.

I will bring this man back to the Kingdom of Xun and deal with him according to the laws of the Kingdom of Xun. If you, the Kingdom of Yin, do not give me an explanation for what happened today, when I return to the Kingdom of Xun, I will ask my father to mobilize the troops of the whole country and march south to attack the heartland of your Kingdom of Yin to restore the reputation of my Kingdom of Xun!"

"With your country's current strength, you dare to speak so arrogantly and challenge the dignity of my country?" Ling Qiyan sneered, his eyes revealing his arrogance. He slowly raised his hand and waved his fingertips lightly, as if to disperse a cloud of dust.

Dongfang Chenhao was fearless and looked directly into Ling Qiyan's eyes. "Then we will wait and see."

The atmosphere between the two was tense and almost frozen.

"Throughout history, many great nations have fallen because of their arrogance, and many weak nations have risen because of their tenacity. Your attitude today is nothing more than relying on the strength of the Yin Kingdom to wantonly trample on the dignity of other nations. However, debts must always be repaid, it's just a matter of time."

Yuan Ying's words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the solemnity in the air.

Ling Qiyan's face changed slightly. He had never expected a woman to be so bold. But he quickly regained his indifference and arrogance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Oh? Then tell me, when did my Yin country owe a debt to your Xia country?"

"Debt is not just about money and jewelry, but also about respect and peace." Yuan Ying's voice was firm and powerful. "If you, the Yin Kingdom, really believe that might is right, then one day, someone in this world will stand up and bring justice to this chaotic world in the name of justice."

Then, she slowly said, "Your Highness, you have come to this birthday banquet in person, and you have eaten the bear. I believe that everything is done, and it is time for you to return to the Yin Kingdom."

Yuan Ying's obvious words of expulsion made Ling Qiyan's face darken again.

But he did not get angry immediately, instead he looked at Yuan Ying deeply, his eyes showing both unwillingness and complicated emotions. He turned to Dongfang Chenhao and sneered even more:

"I, Ling Qiyan, have taken note of what happened today. If your country of Xun really has the courage, my country of Yin will be waiting for you at any time. But before that, you'd better pray that your national strength can be improved. Otherwise, you will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and bring humiliation upon yourself."

After saying that, Ling Qiyan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Ying's suddenly raised voice: "Your Highness, wait a minute, I have something to say to you. If you still want to get involved in the mountains and rivers of Xia Country, you must first walk on your own corpses, just like that bear."

Ling Qiyan paused, he turned around and looked at Yuan Ying, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, very good! We have a long time to come, you'd better not fall into my hands." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Looking at his receding back, Yuan Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Four-Nation Alliance was completely destroyed.

"Thank you, Lord Yuan!" Dongfang Chenhao walked to Yuan Ying with admiration on his face.

Yuan Ying nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "Third Prince, the real battle with Yin Kingdom has just begun. I hope we can unite our forces to prepare for any emergency."

Dongfang Chenhao nodded, his gratitude overflowing from his words: "Sir Yuan, I deeply admire your wisdom and courage. When I return home, I will report today's events to my father and discuss strengthening cooperation and defense between the two countries. The Kingdom of Xun and the Kingdom of Xia will surely work together to create brilliance."

Yuan Ying nodded, then looked at the envoys from the other two countries and said, "The tyranny of the Yin Kingdom cannot be resisted by one country alone. We should unite as one to resist foreign aggression. Our Xia Kingdom is willing to work with the Sun Kingdom and even the alliances to seek a path of peaceful development.

Ensure the peace of the border and the well-being of the people. I hope that after you return home, you can convey this message and discuss major plans together to seek the well-being of the people of the world. "

Upon hearing this, the envoys of the two countries all looked solemn, knowing that today's matter was of great importance, and they all expressed that they would report the matter to their respective monarchs truthfully and actively promote friendly cooperation among the three countries. For a moment, although the atmosphere in the hall was still solemn, there was also a little more of a united atmosphere.

When all the envoys left one by one, only the ministers, their families and the princes of the Great Xia Kingdom were left in the palace. They all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, their hearts filled with deep admiration for Yuan Ying.

Emperor Kang Ren looked at Yuan Ying with satisfaction and said, "My dear minister, your actions today are truly a blessing for Great Xia and the people. With your wisdom and courage, you not only resolved the danger of the four-nation coalition, but also demonstrated the prestige of Great Xia. You are admirable."

Yuan Ying bowed humbly and said, "Your Majesty, I am just doing my duty to share your worries and seek the well-being of the people of Daxia. Today's event was only possible because of the unity of all people."

Emperor Kang Ren nodded slightly, his eyes full of praise: "My dear minister, what you said makes sense. Every citizen has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country. I am willing to work with you to build a prosperous era for Daxia and ensure that my people live and work in peace and contentment."

After saying this, Emperor Kang Ren turned around and looked at the princes present, his tone filled with seriousness and expectation: "As princes, you should follow the example of Lord Yuan, work hard on domestic affairs, defend against powerful enemies, and jointly protect the peace and prosperity of this land."

Upon hearing this, the princes all stood up and saluted, and responded in unison: "Your sons will obey your orders and will not disappoint your father's high expectations."

Murong Xuanyi glanced at the Crown Prince and Hengyang, with a questioning tone in his voice: "Royal brother, Royal sister, you mentioned repeatedly that Lord Yuan was not present. What is your intention? Do you intend to put Daxia in danger surrounded by the coalition forces of the four countries?"

The prince hastily glanced at Emperor Kang Ren, his eyes revealing a bit of nervousness, and said respectfully: "Father, I have no such intention. I am just worried that Lord Yuan is too tough and may create an irreconcilable feud with the Yin Kingdom, affecting the overall situation. I wanted to mediate..."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Su and Hengyang also knelt down and said, "Your Highness dare not. Your Highness... Your Highness is just worried that something bad might happen to the envoy in the palace, which would bring disaster to Daxia, so... I hope that Your Highness will forgive me."

Queen Wang and the prince's party also quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please understand that the prince is only worried about the safety of the country and has no other intentions. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Yuan Ying curled his lips and said, "It is the duty of a prince to worry about the safety of the country, but the way your Royal Highness is worried seems a bit biased.

Your Highness, have you ever thought that if the envoy is killed in the palace and we cannot find the real culprit, then the alliance between the Yin Kingdom and the Sun Kingdom will be inevitable, and the other two countries will follow suit. How will the Xia Kingdom protect itself then?

"Your Highness, I know you have resentment towards me, but in the face of national justice, personal grudges seem insignificant. As the crown prince, you should understand this principle even more. Do you have other plans in mind?"

Yuan Ying's words were full of meaning. Emperor Kang Ren frowned slightly and looked at the prince with deep eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath. The prince's face turned pale, and he was eager to explain, "Father, I dare not... I was just worried about the safety of the envoy, and I didn't think deeply about the consequences. Lord Yuan is right, I was negligent. But I have no selfish motives, and I have no calculations. Everything is for the peace of Xia country."

The prince spoke faster, trying to save the situation.

At this time, Murong Xuanyi stepped forward and said bluntly to Emperor Kang Ren: "Father, I have several confidential documents about the relationship between my brother and the eldest prince of Yin. I think it is not accidental that Yin came to our Great Xia this time, but it was premeditated.

The correspondence between my brother and the eldest prince of the Yin Kingdom revealed their covetousness for our territory and their conspiracy to cooperate. These letters reveal their conspiracy to join forces to weaken our dynasty. I know that this matter is serious and dare not neglect it. I have come to report this to you, the emperor, and I hope you will see through it and make a decision as soon as possible. "

Emperor Kang Ren's eyes flashed, and he ordered Fu Quan beside him, "Present it." Fu Quan respectfully took the document handed over by Murong Xuanyi and presented it to Emperor Kang Ren.

After reading it, Emperor Kang Ren was furious, "Asshole! How dare you, as the crown prince of a country, collude with outsiders."

The prince was shocked and shouted, "Father, I am innocent! I have never seen these documents, and I have never colluded with the eldest prince of Yin! Someone must have framed me. Please investigate!"

Queen Wang and the prince's party also shouted: "Your Majesty, please look carefully. The prince would never do such a foolish thing. Someone must have framed him."

Murong Xuanyi sneered, his eyes were sharp: "Brother, the evidence is irrefutable, how can you quibble? These documents clearly have your private seal, how could they be fake? But you must be wondering why the letter you sent to the eldest prince of Yin State fell into my hands, right?"

"Because the eldest prince of Yin wanted to give it to me. Do you know why? Because he wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Daxia and unite the four countries to attack Daxia. But he did not expect that the dream of the four-country coalition would eventually come to nothing."

"You are really stupid. You actually tried to use him as a weapon to put pressure on my father and force him to abdicate. But you didn't know that this was your failure. You thought that the eldest prince of Yin was a chess piece in your hand, but you didn't know that he was just using you as a chess piece to test Daxia's strength. How can you be responsible for this country with such short-sightedness?"

Murong Xuanyi's voice echoed in the empty hall, and every word hit the prince's heart like a heavy hammer. The prince's face turned pale, his legs became weak, and he could hardly stand.

The prince was sweating profusely, and looked around, trying to find a voice of support, but he found that everyone in the hall had a solemn look on their faces, and no one except the queen dared to stand up for him. His heart sank, knowing that today's matter would not end well.

He was filled with remorse. He had planned everything, but he had never expected that Ling Qi Yan would betray him, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back for all his plans.

Emperor Kang Ren was furious, and he slammed the document in his hand on the table, shaking the whole hall. "Come here! Take this unfilial son to the prison and wait for his fate!" The guards responded and took the prince away. The prince cried out that he was innocent, but it was no use.

Seeing this, Queen Wang burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Emperor Kang Ren to beg for mercy. However, Emperor Kang Ren was unmoved, just watching all this coldly, his heart full of disappointment and anger.

Emperor Kang Ren glanced coldly at Hengyang and Concubine Su. His voice was as cold as ice. He said in a deep voice: "Hengyang, you have failed in moral conduct. You will be fined one year's salary and confined to your home for one year to serve as a warning to others. Concubine Su, as a mother, you failed to educate your daughter properly. You are also to blame. You will be fined one year's salary and confined to your home for one year. I hope you will reflect deeply and discipline your children strictly in the future."

Emperor Kang Ren's words were like a cold blade, piercing Hengyang's heart. Hengyang knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, his face as pale as paper, sweat dripping down, soaking his clothes. But he didn't dare to complain. "Thank you, father, for your kindness. I will remember it in my heart and change my past."

Concubine Su gritted her teeth, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed in her eyes, but she finally lowered her noble head and thanked the emperor with a trembling voice: "I accept the order and thank the emperor for his grace."

Murong Xuanyi's brows were furrowed, and his deep eyes revealed his deep dissatisfaction with the punishment. However, the current situation forced him to hide this dissatisfaction deep in his heart, but he would not let it go.

Emperor Kang Ren glanced coldly at all the princes of his highness, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "As long as I am alive, you will always be my subjects!

The princes knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Highness, I will obey your command!"

The corner of King Rui's mouth showed an unnoticeable sinister smile. He thought to himself that this time he must make sure that the crown prince completely loses his chance to turn things around. The position of crown prince must belong to him.

Emperor Kang Ren waved his hand tiredly and asked them to leave. Only Emperor Kang Ren and Queen Wang were left in the huge palace.

Queen Wang still pleaded: "Your Majesty, the prince was just confused for a moment, please forgive him!"

Emperor Kang Ren closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Queen, you don't have to plead for him anymore. He must have thought about the consequences if he dared to take this step."

After saying this, Emperor Kang Ren stood up, turned around and left, leaving Queen Wang collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She stared at Emperor Kang Ren with a little more hatred in her eyes.

……

Murong Xuanyi and Yuan Ying walked out of the palace gate side by side. After all the ministers had left, he gently took Yuan Ying's hand and got on his carriage. Song Yanshu watched Yuan Ying from a distance. He knew that he had no way to get close to him, so he could only watch silently.

After getting on the carriage, Murong Xuanyi pulled Yuan Ying to sit on his lap, and then ordered Jiang Chong to drive forward. The atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat ambiguous, Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying quietly, with tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Yan'er, you have been wronged." Yuan Ying finally broke the silence, her voice a little hoarse.

Yuan Ying's lips curled into a faint smile, his eyes flashing with a cunning light, "Then how does His Royal Highness Prince Jing plan to compensate me?"

She raised her jade hand slightly, and lightly lifted Murong Xuanyi's chin with her fingertips, her words full of teasing and ambiguity. "Hmm?" She asked softly, her tone full of expectation.

Murong Xuanyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, leaned close to Yuan Ying's ear and whispered, "As long as you want it, I will give it to you." As he spoke, he put his hand on Yuan Ying's waist.

Yuan Ying bit Murong Xuanyi's earlobe and murmured, "Your Majesty, please keep your word."

Murong Xuanyi hugged Yuan Ying into his arms and gently stroked her face, "I will never go back on my word once it's spoken."

Before he finished speaking, he kissed Yuan Ying's lips, and the temperature in the carriage instantly rose...
