After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Emperor Jingyou looked exhausted and said in a low voice, "Everyone go back. Li'er stay."

Everyone had no choice but to leave the Qinzheng Hall.

"Li'er, when will your leg heal?"

Emperor Jingyou was also surprised to see Shen Yanli stand up.

"Just a short while ago." Shen Yanli's lips curled up into a gentle smile, "It was Qingyu who found Divine Doctor Ge that allowed me to get my legs moving."

"Oh?" Emperor Jingyou raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "No wonder you have different feelings for her."

Shen Yanli said seriously, "Father, Qingqing is very kind to begin with. I am even more grateful to her for finding Divine Doctor Ge."

Emperor Jingyou thought of Shen Ye again, and the smile on his face disappeared. "Alas, it is the boss who is sorry for you. Fortunately, you met a good girl."

Shen Yanli was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Father, please let my eldest brother go to the southwest with me."

Emperor Jingyou was stunned. "Li'er, what do you mean?"

Shen Yanli's face was frozen, and his voice was icy. "Since the Nanyue Kingdom is still ambitious, then we'll fight them until they obey. My eldest brother has been fighting against Nanyue for five years and is familiar with the Nanyue army and generals. Let him serve as a soldier by my side and make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence."

Emperor Jingyou looked at him in surprise. "He hurt you before, and you're not only pleading for him, but you're also keeping him by your side? Aren't you afraid he'll hurt you again?"

Shen Yanli smiled softly, his aloofness tinged with confidence. "Father, Shen Ye does have some talent as a general. It would be a shame if he really died. He would no longer be the Prince Ding of Daqing, but just a small soldier. Besides, I believe he is not stupid enough to fall into the same trap twice."

Although Emperor Jingyou was delighted with his confidence and boldness, he still frowned in distress when he thought of his eldest son's criminal record.

At this moment, Lin Feng appeared outside the Qinzheng Hall, and the guards entered the hall to report.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lin Feng of the Prince of Chu's Palace has important matters to report to His Majesty the Prince of Chu."

Emperor Jingyou glanced at Shen Yanli and said, "Let Lin Feng come in."

Lin Feng entered the Qinzheng Palace and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Lanzhi and Lord Xiahou have been captured and are now outside the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to interrogate them personally."

Emperor Jingyou's face instantly turned cold, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Bring him in!"

"Yes."

Lin Feng walked out of the hall and brought Princess Lanzhi and Lord Xiahou back into the hall, forcing them to kneel on the ground.

Both of them were dressed like ordinary people from Daqing. Princess Lanzhi did not wear a veil this time. Her beautiful and charming face was deliberately darkened. It was obvious that her face had been painted and modified, and she looked like an ordinary woman. If it were not for her eyes that could not be changed, most people would not recognize her.

Even Lord Xiahou's face had been retouched. He no longer looked as elegant as before, but instead looked like an ordinary, rough man. His eyebrows were deliberately drawn thick, but because the beard on his face was removed by Lin Feng, his whole face looked weird and disharmonious.

Before Emperor Jingyou could even speak, Lord Xiahou threatened in a cold voice, "Emperor Daqing, I advise you to release the princess and our Nanyue envoys. If anything happens to us in Daqing, the Emperor of Nanyue will not let it go! Daqing can just wait for the city to be captured. Haha, the Emperor of Nanyue has no reason to go to war with Daqing. If you dare to touch us, the city will be destroyed and everyone will die!"

Emperor Jingyou's face was filled with rage. "What a boast! If Lord Xiahou hadn't been in such a state of disgrace, I might have actually believed it."

"You failed to instigate Prince Ding to rebel, and now you've escaped and been caught. You still want to act high and mighty and threaten me. Who do you think you are? And what is Nanyue?"

He glared at the two men sternly, his eyes blazing with anger like a volcano erupting. "You've really made me angry this time! Even if I have to mobilize all the power in the country, I'm going to teach you a lesson! Do you really think that my Daqing is afraid of a tiny country like you?"

The Nanyue Kingdom was not big, with a total area less than one-third of Daqing's, not to mention that Nanyue was mostly mountainous, and its population was less than one-tenth of Daqing's. If Daqing had not been eyed by the Xiongnu in the north and the Khitan in the northwest, there would be no need to worry so much about such a small Nanyue Kingdom and simply send a large army to destroy it.

Although Princess Lanzhi still maintained her calm and noble appearance, when she saw Emperor Jingyou's anger, the panic in her eyes betrayed her. She was still afraid.

"Your Majesty, if your Prince Ding hadn't revealed his weakness, our plans would have been useless. Lord Xiahou didn't mean to threaten you, but as envoys to Daqing, you sent people to arrest us. Is this the Daqing way of hospitality?"

Shen Yanli took two steps forward and said in a cold voice, "Since you are envoys on a diplomatic mission, what's the meaning of your appearance? You were captured by my people at the city gate. The final peace agreement hasn't been signed yet, so why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Princess Lanzhi looked at Shen Yanli, who was dressed in elegant clothes and had a figure as slender as a bamboo, and a look of pity flashed in her charming eyes.

Shen Yanli sneered, "Why? Seeing me standing before you now, are you disappointed? Back then, you bewitched Shen Ye into plotting to break my leg, and even gave him your South Vietnamese herbs to add to my leg-healing medicine, preventing my leg from healing and ultimately leaving me crippled. Now that your plan has failed, Your Highness must be furious."

Princess Lanzhi remained silent. She stared at the handsome face in front of her, but the words that came out of her thin and beautiful lips were icy cold.

"I don't understand what His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu meant, but I congratulate His Royal Highness for being able to stand up again."

Shen Yanli snorted coldly, "Princess Lanzhi, you dare to do it but not to admit it. It's a disgrace to the Kingdom of Nanyue."

Lord Xiahou couldn't bear to see Princess Lanzhi being humiliated like this, and shouted angrily, "King of Chu, how dare you! The princess is the eldest princess of Nanyue! Even though you are here as envoys to Daqing, you are equals. You forced the princess to her knees, are you deliberately humiliating Nanyue? Emperor Daqing, do you really want to start a war between our two countries?"

Emperor Jingyou sneered, "What kind of envoys are you now? You are just prisoners, yet you still dare to shout like that! Come, let this Lord Xiahou be quiet for a while."

"Yes,"

A guard came up and slapped Lord Xiahou's face. After a while, Lord Xiahou's elegant face was swollen and unrecognizable.

Princess Lanzhi's expression changed drastically. She angrily shouted, "Your Majesty, we are envoys from South Vietnam. Even when our armies are at war, you still don't execute envoys. Isn't it too much for you to torture our envoys like this?"

Shen Yanli sneered, "Your Highness the Princess seems to have not yet figured out your current status. You are just prisoners now. Do you think you can return to Nanyue safely?"

The coldness in Shen Yanli's eyes really scared Princess Lanzhi, "What are you going to do! I am the eldest princess of Nanyue. If you do anything to me, my father will not let the Daqing Dynasty go!"

Shen Yanli sneered, "Your Highness, there's no need to bluff. Whether you can still be the eldest princess of Nanyue depends on the choice of your father, the Emperor of Nanyue."

"What do you mean?"
