Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1169

In the Golden Throne Hall, the corpse was soaked in blood and had been pierced by several arrows, but the most horrifying one was the arrow that hit right between the eyebrows.

Not biased, right in the middle of the eyebrows.

The deceased looked like a Wan national. Perhaps he had seen some horrible people or things before he died, so his face was hideous, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

There was no need for the coroner to come on stage to explain, everyone knew that the arrow between the eyebrows was the real hit.

Tanlu's pupils trembled violently.

Two! Two! Your Highness the Second Prince!

Dead! Dead! Oh my! The Second Prince is dead!

As a mature envoy, seeing his son-in-law's opponent die in a foreign country, should he reveal the truth or remain ignorant?

Tan Lu immediately had the answer, "Princess Haiyan, what do you mean? This is indeed a guard from our Wan Kingdom who accompanied the envoys. Now he has died in the North Wing. Shouldn't you give our Wan Kingdom a proper explanation?"

When Shi Anxia saw the bloody corpse, she didn't even blink, and just calmly replied, "It's time to give an explanation. This person is from your Wan country, and he colluded with the Queen Mother on behalf of the Second Prince, and he also used documents to reach an agreement on the terms after the incident."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone presented the document.

The man dragging the corpse was the secret guard Xue Junyang. "When I led people to Anyi Pavilion to search, Wan people including Ju Wuzhong, Fu Ling, Ge Luo, and Mu Ni were all present at the scene."

The document was circulated among the ministers and finally reached Tanlu.

The ministers were filled with indignation, "The Queen Mother is really selling out her country for personal gain!"

"Where does the Queen Mother put the North Wing's reputation?"

“It’s a complete loss of sovereignty and humiliation to the country!”

After reading it, Tanlu was also shocked. If Booth returned to the country with such great achievements, his son-in-law's position as crown prince would be gone!

It was at this time that he suddenly realized that the Emperor's declaration of war to Beiyi and asking him to lead his men to Beiyi for a martial arts competition was a cover-up. The real purpose was actually to help the Queen Mother seize power and control her to become a puppet of Wan State.

By then, the land, food, and various rich materials of the Northern Wing would be at the disposal of the Wan State, and the people of the Northern Wing would become slaves of the Wan State.

Unfortunately, Booth died and everything came to nothing.

Then, he absolutely could not admit that the body he saw was Booth. Not only could he not admit it, he had to go back and lie to the emperor, saying that Booth had received a secret letter a few days ago and left the capital of Beiyi early to return home, and that those secret guards were the ones who died.

He had made up his mind, but his face was full of doubt. "May I ask where he died? Who was he with?"

As soon as Shi Anxia heard the other party's question, he knew that he had won the bet again.

She bet that Tanlu, the prince's father-in-law, would never admit that this man was Booth, and in this case, Booth would be at her mercy.

Emperor Mingde was worried at the time, "If the death of Booth leads to a war between the two countries, I don't know how many people in my northern wing will die."

Even if the war was finally won, so many families were broken, so many people lost their sons and grandchildren, and so many people lost their fathers and uncles.

There are never real winners in war!

Emperor Mingde did not want to go to war, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid of the death of the people.
