Let’s not talk about the competition between Princess Kangning and Su Mo for now.

In the capital, in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang and the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang arrived.

According to the regulations, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple received them and checked them into the Honglu Temple International Hotel.

In order to demonstrate the divine power of our country, Emperor Cangwu decided to meet them on the day of the grand court meeting.

On the day of the grand court meeting, civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the royal guards stood on the periphery holding shining steel guns.

The entire square was packed with people, but it was completely silent, with only the steel guns shining in the sun.

Emperor Cangwu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Announce."

The eunuchs shouted in succession, "Announce the Saintess of Southern Border and the Second Prince of Southern Border to come to the audience."

The voices spread out one after another, and soon, accompanied by the Minister of Rites, a group of people from the Southern Xinjiang delegation walked in.

"Greetings to His Majesty Cangwu." The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang and all the members of the delegation bowed and saluted, except for a small woman in the lead who stood straight.

Ranlou, the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, was in her thirties and not tall. She wore a black collarless double-breasted top, a black and white pleated skirt, and a pair of embroidered shoes with lion-shaped balls on them.

She had a darker complexion, black lipstick, thin eyebrows, cold eyes, and wore a black tasseled headscarf. The headscarf was adorned with glittering silver beads, which echoed the crescent-shaped silver locket hanging from her chest, making her look even more aloof and elegant.

The Minister of Rites frowned and asked, "Why doesn't the Saintess greet my Emperor?"

It would have been fine if he didn't kneel, but he couldn't even bow. He actually held his head high and looked down on everything. How presumptuous.

The Second Prince quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, the status of our Southern Border Saint is higher than that of the Emperor, so there is no need for Her Majesty to bow to His Majesty the Emperor."

Song Jinxiu glanced at the high-ranking Southern Frontier Saint. "Second Prince, what you said is inappropriate. You also said that the Saint is from your Southern Frontier, not from our Cangwu. Since you have entered our Cangwu territory and our Cangwu Palace, and have seen our Cangwu Majesty, you must pay your respects."

The ministers said: "Yes, the Saint is from your Southern Border, not ours. When she arrives in Cangwu, she must pay her respects to our Majesty."

"Southern Xinjiang is indeed an uncivilized people. They call you a saint, but you have no manners at all."

"Yes, let alone a defeated country, even an envoy from an ordinary country should be polite when visiting someone's home, right?"

Ranluo glanced around coldly. As she moved, the tassels on her headscarf swayed. The sharp-eyed person suddenly discovered that the swaying tassels were actually black centipedes as long as pencils.

"Mom, there are bugs on her head."

Someone exclaimed,

Everyone then realized that the tassels on the woman's headscarf were actually centipedes, densely packed with more than ten of them. Each one was as long as a pencil and thicker than a pencil.

The timid ones retreated one after another, and the court was in chaos for a while.

Eunuch Hai and Qi Chenghua subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of the emperor.

Song Jinxiu also moved aside and stood between the Southern Border Saint and the Emperor. At the same time, Zhu Beichen also stepped forward and stood beside her, acting as a protective presence.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the Cangwu court officials are so cowardly,"

Looking at the people in chaos and with pale faces, the Southern Xinjiang delegation burst into laughter.

The Saint of Southern Xinjiang curled her lips, raised her hand, stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her face. A black centipede actually crawled along her finger to her lips and into her mouth.

Half of it was in my mouth, and half of it was crawling on my face.

"Ugh," someone couldn't help it and actually covered his mouth and vomited.

Everyone couldn't help but move a little further away from the Saint of Southern Border.

It’s so scary. Could this woman be the ancestor of insects?

This saint lady did it on purpose. Is this a show of force?

Saint Ranlu raised her eyebrows: It's just a show of force. Aren't the rows of steel swords a show of force for us?

Humph! In your Cangwu language, this is called "not returning the favor."

This time Ma Wei really stunned everyone.

Song Jinxiu looked at the black centipede, took out a piece of A4 paper from her arms (in the space), and handed it to Zhu Beichen beside her, "Hold it for me."

She turned her head and smiled sweetly at the Saint, "Oh, Saint, you are too polite. Knowing that I am looking for black centipedes, you actually gave me so many. I am so sorry. I accept them with pleasure, okay?"

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Song Jinxiu stepped forward and reached out to pick up the centipede from the saint's headscarf.

Everyone was shocked and the emperor's face turned ashen.

"Princess, be careful." Qi Chenghua wanted to go over and stop them, but he didn't dare to leave the emperor.

Song Jinxiu said without even turning her head: "Master Qi, there is no need to panic. Although this black centipede is extremely poisonous, it is also the best antidote.

This black centipede is an essential ingredient in my blood-activating and detoxifying pills. It's incredibly valuable, costing one ounce of silver."

Like a little girl picking mushrooms, she happily picked up centipedes in her hands while talking. "Do you know how to dry centipedes? Just straighten them like this."

As she spoke, she took the centipede in her hand, stroked it from head to tail, and then placed it on the A4 paper held by Zhu Beichen.

Strangely enough, after the black centipede passed through her hands, it became motionless and lay there straight as if dead.

In no time, she picked out all the centipedes, and finally pulled out the centipede that was halfway in the saint's mouth.

On the white A4 paper, the straightened centipede corpses were neatly arranged.

"Master Zhu, please help me put it in the sun and dry it so that I can be used as medicine."

"Yes," Zhu Beichen suppressed his shock and walked out holding the centipede on the A4 paper.

Song Jinxiu did all this smoothly and finished it in the blink of an eye.

The people in southern Xinjiang still maintained their mocking expressions, as if they were frozen in time.

It took Saint Ranlu a long time to react. She stared at Song Jinxiu's unharmed hands in amazement.

How is it possible? This black centipede is extremely poisonous. Even she, who has been playing with Gu for many years, dares to raise it because of the fear of the Gu King.

Princess Cangwu doesn't have any Gu in her body, so how could she not be afraid of black centipedes?

Song Jinxiu sneered: I am immune to all poisons, how can a small poisonous insect hurt me?

Everyone: If it weren’t for Princess Kangle in this first round of battle, we Cangwu would have lost. These people from Southern Xinjiang are so hateful.

"Well, since Princess Kang Le has accepted this black centipede, it's no problem to give it to you."

The Saint of Southern Frontier smiled disapprovingly. She had originally used this thing to scare people. Although it did not scare Princess Kangle, judging from the reactions of the court officials just now, the overall effect was good.

As for this little girl, hehe, just when she touched her centipede, a sub-膽 was put on her body.

So, this girl will be obedient sooner or later, there is no need to worry.

The Southern Border Saint's voice was pleasant to the ears, but no matter how pleasant it was, people who witnessed her coexisting with poisonous insects would still feel a lingering fear.

“Now, let’s talk business.

We in Southern Xinjiang took the initiative to seek peace, not because we were defeated, but because our King of Southern Xinjiang is kind and cannot bear to see the people of both countries suffer from the chaos of war. Therefore, if you want to stop the war, Your Majesty Cangwu should return the cities in Southern Xinjiang that were occupied by the Dingguo Army."

Everyone: Who is asking for peace after being defeated? It's you who are defeated, okay?

Wei Qizhi, the second general of the Dingguo General's Mansion, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, if you don't want to cease fire, our Dingguo Army doesn't mind taking over the entire Southern Xinjiang."

The Saint of Southern Xinjiang's face darkened, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
