Zhan Yan spoke slowly, "I just warned you that if you dare to swear again, I'll teach you a lesson. You're the one who deliberately provoked me!"

Qin Tianhao wanted to curse again, but when he met Zhan Yan's cold and murderous eyes, he had to hold it back.

He glared at the frightened guard beside him: "Idiot, what are you still standing there for? Thank you for helping me up!"

The guards of Li State helped Qin Tianhao to sit on a wooden chair. Seeing his miserable appearance, King Wu felt extremely embarrassed.

He glared at Emperor Sheng An in dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, now that my son is injured like this, you must give our Li Kingdom an explanation!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded: "An explanation must be given, but now you have seen Zhan Yan, it is indeed not him who ordered the action!"

Wu Guojun questioned in disbelief, "Your Majesty, this is not how you protect your son. If he says he didn't do it, do you believe him? Looking at the entire Sheng Dynasty, besides Zhan Yan, who has such a deep hatred for our Li Kingdom, who would plot against my son?"

Zhan Yan shook his head. "Lord Wu is wrong. When two armies clash, personal hatred is not involved. Besides, I would not be so despicable as to attack a child!"

King Wu's face was gloomy and ugly. He felt very aggrieved.

Even though his own son was beaten like this, he couldn't get justice.

Why?

He ignored Zhan Yan and instead threatened Emperor Sheng An, "Your Majesty, if you continue to favor the instigator, then there's nothing left for us to discuss!"

Emperor Sheng An acted helpless, "Lord Wu, I deeply sympathize with your plight, but I cannot wrongly accuse Zhan Yan. How about this? I will order people to track down the real culprit. Once they are found, they will be handed directly into your hands for you to deal with as you please."

King Wu sneered, "It seems that the Emperor is not sincere in negotiating peace between the two countries. If that's the case, there's no need for me to waste my time here!"

Just as he was about to leave in anger, the Saint's voice came from a distance, trying to stop him: "Stop!"

The King of Wu said in a deep voice: "Saint Lady, if I were your king, I would never say anything at this moment!"

The Saint gently advised, "Your Majesty, how can the peace talks between our two countries be shelved because of a momentary anger? I believe in Marquis Zhan Yi's character; he would never do such a despicable thing. He must have been framed. If you leave in anger, wouldn't you be playing into the hands of the person behind this?"

Qin Tianhao couldn't help but sneer: "Saintess, you've only been in Sheng Dynasty for a few days, and you're already showing partiality to them? Don't forget, you are from Li Country, and you enjoy the respect given by the people of Li Country!"

The Saint smiled bitterly, "General Qin, I don't want this honor anymore. Can I give it to your Qin family? Didn't you bring your daughter Qin Mingyue with you this time? I remember that she is the noble lady carefully nurtured by your Qin family. She is talented and beautiful, and she is the most suitable person to be a Saint!"

Qin Tianhao's expression suddenly changed, No!

The Qin family's noble lady was trained in exchange for greater benefits!

How could she be allowed to become a saint? It might seem glamorous, but in reality, it would put her in a lifelong shackle of being unable to marry.

All that respect is empty. To put it bluntly, it is just an object placed there.

He quickly refused: "The Saint is your mission, not my daughter's. Why are you pushing your responsibility onto her?"

Realizing her brother's misconduct, Queen Wu immediately came to the rescue: "Saint, my brother didn't mean that. He just felt bad that Lei'er was injured so badly, and he wanted to seek justice for him!"

The Saint Girl said, "That's not how you seek justice. Emperor Sheng An is a wise ruler. He should know better than anyone how important peace talks between the two countries are!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded immediately: "Of course, since the Saint Lady has spoken, then I promise to King Wu that I will find the real culprit within two days and hand him over to you for disposal. As for the little prince's injury, I will naturally offer compensation!"

Wu Guojun's expression improved a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, this king will wait for the emperor to find out the real culprit before making a decision!"

Without further hesitation, he immediately led his men away quickly.

Qin Tianhao glared at Zhan Yan fiercely, with no trace of disgust on his face.

Zhan Yan wasn't afraid. He said quietly, "General Qin, I wonder if you're still as brave sitting on this wooden chair as you are riding on a warhorse."

Qin Tianhao was so angry when he heard this that he almost fell to the ground.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart, saying that Zhan Yan was a bastard with no moral principles and was stabbing him in the heart.

The Saint and Min Ao did not stay long and went to the inn together.

Emperor Sheng An brought Prince Li and Zhan Yan to the imperial study. He frowned and said, "Uncle, this matter is very difficult. Even if we find the real culprit, King Wu will not let it go unless we offer generous compensation!"

King Li said in a deep voice: "No compensation!"

Emperor Sheng An looked at him puzzledly: "Why?"

Prince Li spoke slowly, "Isn't Zhan Yan his biological nephew? Is he still going to keep pestering his biological nephew?"

Emperor Sheng An's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously said, "We can't let Zhan Yan go to Li Country. Qin Tianhao will definitely not tolerate him, and those Li Country soldiers will hate him to death!"

After hearing these words, Zhan Yan was immediately moved.

After all, Emperor Sheng An cares about him!

Prince Li was obviously satisfied with Emperor Sheng'an's attitude. He immediately softened his tone and said, "This is what I plan. Cooperation between the two countries requires a bond, and this bond is Zhan Yan. Let the Saint reveal the news that he is my biological son and fake his death to escape. Then the Li Kingdom will have no choice but to use this matter to gain more benefits!"

Emperor Sheng An's eyes lit up. It must be said that the older you are, the wiser you are.

This idea of ​​the emperor's uncle is really good!

It can not only allow Zhan Yan to stay in Sheng Dynasty, but also reunite him with his mother.

He quickly asked, "Then how can we make the Saint Lady fake her death legitimately? Uncle, do you have any plan?"

Prince Li said calmly, "Qin Tianhao will give us this opportunity, but this matter must be made known to King Wu, otherwise, it will not be easy for the Saint to escape!"

Zhan Yan said in a serious tone, "Leave this matter to my son-in-law. I will go to Liguo Minxiang to pass on the message!"

Just as the three of them had finished their discussion, Li Delu reported from outside: "Your Majesty, the Marquis's wife and Lord Lin are outside requesting an audience!"

Emperor Sheng An quickly said, "Let them in!"

After seeing that Zhan Yan was safe and sound, Lin Yiwan's tense expression relaxed a lot.

She said in a relaxed tone, "It seems that father has protected you?"

Emperor Sheng An was immediately dissatisfied and interrupted directly: "In your eyes, only the Imperial Uncle has the ability to protect your husband? I have no contribution at all?"

Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up immediately. "Of course, my brother the Emperor is quite capable too. Just wait, I'll make you some tonics to strengthen your body. I guarantee they'll make you glow and feel full of energy!"
