Cheng Rui's face was also extremely ugly. He felt that the Emperor of Sheng Dynasty did not take him seriously, otherwise, he would not have allowed Lin Yiwan to insult him.

He said with a gloomy expression: "Emperor Sheng, what do you mean by this? How dare you slap me in the face so blatantly?"

Emperor Sheng An replied calmly, "Don't misunderstand, Prince Rui. I am only punishing the disobedient officials of our dynasty!"

Cheng Rui was so angry that his forehead and temples were throbbing. He was not stupid, so how could he not hear that Emperor Sheng was secretly reminding him not to meddle in other people's business.

As the king of the barbarians, how could he tolerate such humiliation!

He immediately sneered: "Since Emperor Sheng is disrespectful to me, there is nothing more to discuss between our two countries. I will take my leave now and see you on the battlefield!"

As soon as the words fell, silence fell all around.

Cheng Rui turned around and saw the court officials of Sheng Dynasty trembling with fear, and he couldn't help but feel more confident.

He just doesn't believe that Emperor Sheng isn't afraid!

He is leaving now, let’s see if he is panicked?

Thinking of this, he turned around and was about to leave.

He had already pricked up his ears at this moment, waiting for Emperor Sheng to beg him not to leave in fear.

However, even though he had walked to the entrance of the hall with his staff, Emperor Sheng still did not react at all.

He subconsciously turned around and said, "Emperor Sheng, am I really leaving?"

Emperor Sheng An calmly replied with four words: "Goodbye!"

Cheng Rui was immediately furious. How could he have the guts to treat Sheng Huang, such a weakling, so poorly?

What does he have to rely on?

Just as his thoughts were getting confused, Lin Yiwan was already impatiently urging him, "Prince Rui, what are you still hesitating about? Aren't you leaving? Hurry up, don't delay the start of our banquet!"

A stream of black blood immediately gushed out of Cheng Rui's throat. His eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

Cheng Feifei quickly supported him: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Rui said weakly: "Fei Fei, I feel very dizzy!"

Cheng Feifei understood very well what her father was planning, which was to pretend to be sick and stay.

With tears in her eyes, she came before Emperor Sheng An and said, "Your Excellency Emperor Sheng, my father has suddenly fallen ill. Can you find a place for him to stay?"

She was extremely beautiful, and when she cried, she looked even more pitiful.

Even Emperor Sheng, who had seen many beauties, almost subconsciously felt pity for her at this moment.

He even felt a little guilty for making the little girl cry.

Just when he was about to agree, Lin Yiwan spoke first: "Your father suddenly fell ill. If he died in our Sheng Dynasty, wouldn't our Sheng Dynasty be blamed again? You'd better take him away quickly to avoid causing us trouble!"

The emotion that Sheng Huang had just felt disappeared in an instant.

He couldn't help but secretly blame himself. He was almost bewitched by this beautiful girl again. Wanwan must have seen through it. She must be looking down on him, her royal brother, in her heart.

Cheng Feifei bit her lip helplessly. She said in a trembling voice, "Madam Hou, are you so unkind? My father came here with sincere intentions!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows and looked at her. She had to admit that this Cheng Feifei was much prettier than her cousin Cheng Zhenzhen.

She must have practiced, otherwise why would she cry so hard that even she couldn't bear it anymore?

However, she has a strong mind and is never fooled by appearances.

She scoffed, "Did your father come to marry our Sheng Dynasty's ten-year-old princess with sincerity? Why didn't he marry you to an old man who was about to die?"

"You!" Cheng Feifei's face turned pale and ugly after being scolded by her.

She didn't dare confront Lin Yiwan anymore, and instead pleaded with Emperor Sheng An sadly: "Emperor Sheng, my father is also trying to strengthen the relationship between our two countries. If you think his proposal is inappropriate, when he gets better, I will ask him to apologize to you in person, okay?"

Things have come to this point. If Emperor Sheng An continues to drive Cheng Rui away, it would really show his arrogance. After all, the Princess of Southern Xinjiang is watching him.

He said calmly, "Since you've begged me so hard, I can't refuse you. You can just go to the inn and settle down for a few days!"

Cheng Feifei kowtowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She ordered someone to hurriedly help Cheng Rui away, and the resentment in her eyes was almost unconcealable.

Emperor Sheng An didn't expect that Lin Yiwan could make Cheng Rui so angry with just a few words. He really admired this imperial sister.

He waved his hand and said, "The banquet cannot be wasted. My dear ministers, you can enjoy yourselves!"

Everyone quickly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In stark contrast to the prosperity and joy in the palace, the entire inn looked desolate and simple.

Cheng Feifei was shivering from the cold. Even though she put on all the clothes she brought with her, her teeth still couldn't stop chattering.

Cheng Rui angrily scolded: "Emperor Sheng is courting death. How could he not give me face in public? Does he really not care about the people of the two countries being plunged into war?"

Cheng Feifei had no choice but to advise: "Father, the most important thing for us now is to make Emperor Sheng afraid. Only in this way can we achieve our wish!"

Cheng Rui gritted his teeth in hatred: "How can we make him afraid? Doesn't he already know that we have a repeating crossbow?"

Cheng Feifei frowned and pondered, "Does he have something else to rely on? I've never heard that the Sheng Dynasty possesses weapons more powerful than our barbarian crossbows!"

Just as the father and daughter were puzzled, a report came from outside: "Your Highness, someone claiming to be from Southern Xinjiang wants to see you!"

Cheng Feifei was silent for a moment and then quickly said, "Bring her in!"

Sheng Tianxue came to Cheng Rui and said respectfully: "I am the maidservant of the Princess of Southern Xinjiang. I came here to help the prince with some advice!"

Cheng Rui looked her up and down and saw that her face was pale and ugly, and her wrist was bandaged. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.

He asked calmly, "What good ideas do you have? Also, what benefits do you plan to gain from me?"

Sheng Tianxue gritted her teeth and said, "I hope Prince Rui can destroy the alliance between Southern Xinjiang and the Sheng Dynasty. Also, the princess of the Sheng Dynasty you want to marry is hiding in Prince Li's mansion. Everyone is attending a banquet in the palace right now. You can take this opportunity to trick her out and then make it a done deal!"

There was a cunning glint in Cheng Rui's eyes. He had to admit that he was very interested in the woman's proposal.

Moreover, destroying the alliance between the two countries will only benefit the barbarians and not harm them.

Why doesn't he do it?

He quickly said, "Okay, I'll order someone to do it right away, but if it's done, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

Sheng Tianxue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "As long as the little princess of the Sheng Dynasty escapes from Prince Li's mansion in trouble, Prince Li and Emperor Sheng will inevitably become estranged. Isn't this a good thing for you, Prince Rui?"

Cheng Rui immediately smiled, this girl is really smart.

He immediately said, "Come here, hurry up and deliver the letter to the Prince Li's Mansion!"
