Chapter 191 Yan Li, You Are Slandering Me!

The queen sat opposite Emperor Zhaocheng. After calming down, her eyes fell on Muxue's red and swollen face, with a sullen expression and said nothing.

"Just because you have tolerance does not mean that Yan Li can do whatever he wants." Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was full of majesty, "Ye Qi, go and call Princess Nanyang over. I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Yelin bowed, "I accept my order from my humble position."

As soon as the words fell, the person turned and left.

A flash of panic flashed in Muxue's eyes, and she involuntarily tightened her clothes.

If Yan Li told everything about their conversation, would his father believe her? Will he be angry because of the emperor's plan?

The Queen sat aside in silence. Although her expression was still a little ugly, she no longer dwelled on this topic.

Anyway, Muxue was beaten. Anyway, Yan Li was being unreasonable today. She wanted to see if the emperor could continue to protect Yan Li indiscriminately.

"There is something I want to discuss with you mother and daughter." Emperor Zhaocheng put down the tea cup and began to talk about business, "A young general from the Southern Kingdom has come to present a letter of credence. Their envoy will also arrive soon. Mu Guo.”

The Queen was surprised: "Southern Country?"

Emperor Zhaocheng nodded.

"Isn't the Southern Kingdom very powerful?" The queen looked surprised, "Why would such a powerful country send envoys to the Kingdom of Mu?"

Doesn't this lower one's status?

Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment, secretly thinking that Nanguo should also be here for Yan Li.

The Queen of Jin is still on her way here, so it stands to reason that she should have arrived long ago.

The Kingdom of Jin wants to cut off nine cities and seek to marry Yan Li, presumably because he has other plans.

It is obviously a bit puzzling for the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Territory to join in the fun at this time. After all, the Southern Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom are not adjacent to each other, and they have to be separated by a country to form an alliance.

Northern Xinjiang and the Kingdom of Jin both have their own ambitions. If they say they stop fighting for Yan Li, it doesn't seem like their style.

So is the truth related to the Queen of Jin?

Thinking of the Queen of Jin, Emperor Zhaocheng felt pressure in his heart. Yan Li's life has not been good these years. If Queen Jiang settles accounts with him, how should he explain this matter?

Although Queen Jiang is an old friend, she also represents the Jin State. Two of the three neighboring countries of the Mu State are at war all year round. If the Jin State also turns its back, the pressure on the Mu State will be even greater.

Because of Mu Cang's support in Northern Xinjiang, the war stopped for two years. The national treasury finally had some balance, and it got rid of the state of empty treasury. If there is another war...

"What is the emperor thinking?" Seeing that he was silent, the queen asked with concern, "Does the Southern Kingdom also have ambitions?"

Emperor Zhaocheng came back to his senses and frowned: "No, Nanguo intends to marry Mu Guo, so I plan to let Mu Xue marry him."

After the words fell, Muxue's expression suddenly changed: "Should I go to get married?"

Emperor Zhaocheng's eyebrows darkened: "You don't want to?"

Muxue panicked: "I..."

"Your Majesty." The queen calmed down and spoke carefully, "There are still several princesses in the royal family to be married. Does Mu Xue have to go?"

Emperor Zhaocheng said in a calm tone: "This matter has not yet been discussed with Nanguo, but if there is sincerity in marriage, naturally the princess is the most suitable."

Muxue's face turned pale and she stood aside without daring to say a word.

The queen was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

The prince was deposed, and she and her son were now in a difficult situation. Her rash opposition to the marriage would definitely make the emperor even more dissatisfied.

If Muxue can really marry and bring about a good relationship between Nanguo and Mu, it will be a great achievement, which will be beneficial to both her and Xiuhan. The emperor may be happy because of Muxue's meritorious service, and he may be able to restore the crown prince and allow Xiuhan to become the crown prince again. position...

"Your Majesty, Princess Nanyang has arrived." Ye Qi walked in and bowed to report.

Muxue suddenly turned her head and looked outside the hall, her expression gloomy and a bit uneasy.

Emperor Zhaocheng was surprised: "Come so fast?"

Ye Qi explained: "When I was leaving the palace, I happened to see Princess Nanyang standing outside the palace gate, as if she had been waiting for a while."

Muxue tightened her hands and couldn't help but start to be afraid. What did that little bitch Yan Li want to do?

She'd better not talk nonsense in front of her father, otherwise...

"She knows that she has made a mistake, so she is anxious to apologize." The queen smiled lightly, "But Yan Li is still young, so the emperor does not need to be too harsh later. He will give her a few warnings to let her remember the lesson. After all, she is about to become The Ninth Princess is Muxue’s elder, and it is natural for elders to teach younger ones.”

Emperor Zhaocheng did not comment and only told Ye Qi: "Let her come in."

"yes."

After a while, Yan Li stepped across the threshold and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty."

"Yan Li." Emperor Zhaocheng looked at the slender and frail girl in front of him, "Muxue said that you hit her. I want to ask what happened."

Yan Li narrowed her eyes and spoke calmly: "The princess said that Prince Xian regretted breaking off the engagement with me, asked me if I would like to change my mind, and promised to grant me the throne in the future."

As soon as the words fell, the air in the hall became condensed.

Emperor Zhaocheng's face darkened, and he turned to look at Muxue, his eyes cold and angry.

Muxue's face turned pale.

Yan Li continued: "I bluntly said that my wedding to the Ninth Prince was about to happen, and I didn't want to mess around. The princess became angry and said that the emperor favored me because my mother shamelessly seduced and bewitched the emperor. She also said that I was the emperor's illegitimate daughter. , saying that marrying the Ninth Prince is considered a mess—"

"I didn't!" Muxue's face changed drastically, and she stood up quickly, "I didn't say that! Yan Li, you are so slanderous!"
