Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

If he spoke again, he would be really arguing with the child, which would be detrimental to the country's reputation.

The calm Crown Prince quickly changed the subject with a smile, and thanked the envoys from the Daqian Dynasty for coming to attend their coronation ceremony. He also allowed the dancers to enter the venue to ease the tense atmosphere.

He knew that the Daqian Dynasty had sent a large army to support him, so he could only endure the dissatisfaction.

If he really dared to do anything bad to the Daqian delegation, he would definitely be attacked by the Daqian Dynasty.

Daqi had just gone through civil strife and could not withstand the chaos of war.

None of the royal family members of Daqi got what they wanted. They could only resent it in their hearts, but they could do nothing about it.

At the end of the banquet, Yang Jingchen raised the corner of his lips slightly, and when he saw Mu Qingli looking at him, he smiled and raised his glass to signal.

Seeing this, Mu Qingli nodded at him and raised his glass in response.

His action was subtle, but in the eyes of Emperor Qi, it was problematic.

Why does this new head of the Ministry of Revenue know Director Yang?

This time, he also wanted to show his appreciation for his son-in-law. As Yang Jingchen was his son-in-law, he would naturally give him grace, but...

Yang Jingchen was stunned at first, then his heart sank. This Mu Qingli was indeed not easy to deal with. His behavior made it hard not to suspect that he was a spy of the Daqian Dynasty. However, he reacted quickly and immediately raised his glass to Gu Xuyao ​​and the other envoys with a smile, hoping to dispel the suspicion of those in higher positions.

His action did ease the tension in Emperor Qi's heart, but even so, he still couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Ling'er listened to her father's words, watched more and thought more. Her adoptive father had told her a long time ago that there was an enemy of her father here, and the person who raised the glass to her adoptive father was that enemy.

The brief confrontation between her adoptive father and that man made her heart beat fast. Her adoptive father was truly amazing.

But in the following interactions, the uncle-in-law was even more powerful. Although he looked gentle, he was actually scheming secretly. He was testing Da Qi's intentions both overtly and covertly, and several imperial censors were of no use.

Little did they know that the Imperial Censorate was also secretly learning the words of the Marquis of Yongding. Sometimes they would suddenly realize that it turned out that saying it this way could touch people's hearts more. They learned it...

After the banquet, Ling'er and the others were arranged to rest at the inn.

Ling'er also entered the space to inform her father about this attempt, and Lu Zhanxing knew that Da Qi had the intention but not the courage to do so, especially after the civil strife, they dared not go against the Daqian Dynasty even more.

Moreover, the Da Qi Dynasty also proposed the intention of marriage, but it was rejected by Mu Qingli and Gu Xuyao. They only said that the prince and princess were still young and the marriage could be discussed later.

The Daqian Dynasty came so powerful this time that Emperor Qi could see the true intention of the Daqian Dynasty.

Immediately summon all ministers to discuss how to respond.

A minister suggested: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Daqian Dynasty is particularly concerned about Princess Zhaohe. Why not send the little prince and princess to make contact with her? It would be best if Princess Zhaohe takes a fancy to a little prince. If Princess Zhaohe intercedes, there may be room for easing the situation."

Some ministers also suggested: "If we really have to fight, we are not pushovers. Why don't we make preparations for both situations and secretly form an alliance with Dayan? In the past, our two countries couldn't do anything to the Daqian Dynasty because we didn't go all out. This time, the alliance between the two countries will definitely be able to bite off a piece of meat from the Daqian Dynasty, and maybe even take back the territory we once had..."

The ministers offered suggestions one after another, and Da Qi also adopted their opinions.

He first kept the Daqian delegation, under the pretext of taking them to experience the customs and culture of Daqi, but in fact he secretly sent people to contact Dayan to learn about the situation, hoping that the two countries could form an alliance and finally compete with Daqian.

After the banquet, the third princess returned to her own princess residence and complained to her husband in dissatisfaction: "Ayou, you didn't see that Princess Daqian. I was so angry that she actually said that I was bullying the weak."

Ruan Jiayou quickly comforted his wife: "It's all my fault. I caught a cold and couldn't help you vent your anger. But don't be sad. When Daqi and Dayan form an alliance, they will definitely defeat Daqian. If you can become the empress by then, won't you let that little brat vent your anger? A little impatience will ruin a big plan. Let's be patient for now. One day we will be able to take revenge."

The Third Princess's anger was instantly calmed down, and she nodded with a touched look on her face: "Ayou, you are so kind. It's a pity that my belly is not good enough to give you a son, but you still plan for me like this."

The son-in-law said that he was more qualified to be emperor than his brother, the crown prince. His husband contributed money and effort to overthrow the dynasty, so if we were to talk about the next heir, his wife was more qualified.

And she was also very moved. Of course she wanted to be the empress above everyone else, and the first empress. With such a good husband, how could she not be satisfied?

My choice was indeed the right one. Although my husband is a businessman, he really cares about me. If it weren't for the fact that I can't give birth to a son, he would never have taken a concubine.

However, even with so many concubines, none of them were able to give birth. Fortunately, this time my husband took a concubine who was pregnant with a boy.

"What are you talking about, Princess? Isn't that concubine pregnant? That will help shut up those people. If it wasn't for winning over that counselor, your husband wouldn't have taken her in as a concubine.

If you succeed in the future, our two daughters will definitely be the heirs to the throne. Then let outsiders see, what's wrong with having daughters? Daughters can still hold high positions. For the sake of you three, I will never let anyone humiliate you."

Hearing this, the third princess was deeply moved and became ambitious.

Now that she is unable to have children, she is mocked by outsiders for not being able to give birth to a son. When she succeeds, she will definitely slap those people in the face.

Ruan Jiayou hugged his beloved wife and sneered in his heart. This Third Princess was also stupid. Did she really think that he would fight for the throne for her?

All this is just a cover!

The one who really wants to ascend the throne is himself.

After comforting the third princess, Ruan Jiayou met Tan Ling and Yang Jingchen in the study.

"Sixth Master, I am afraid that your Majesty will be suspicious of me. This delegation will be difficult to deal with."

Yang Jingchen had already confessed to Sixth Master that his family had been destroyed and his brother's leg had been broken, and now he only wanted to take revenge on the Lu Zhanyan brothers.

However, Tan Ling had already changed his name to Tan Yuzhong, so he would not reveal his betrayal to others.

"Does the Daqian Dynasty really intend to attack our dynasty?"

Tan Ling responded immediately: "That's right, my subordinates have confirmed that there are 500,000 troops stationed at the border of Qi State."

"Well, let's wait until Daqi and Dayan form an alliance, and then we can add fuel to the fire."

There was a strong ambition flashing in Ruan Jiayou's eyes. He was a businessman and had experienced all kinds of difficulties. After rescuing Tan Yuzhong who was being hunted, he learned that he had another identity.

Tan Yuzhong was very resourceful. Not only did he help himself marry the prime minister's second daughter, he also cut off the princess's fertility and made the third princess completely at his disposal.

For the first time, he felt the taste of being respected. Now he has become a royal consort. Even Emperor Qi has to be kind to him because of his wealth. Who would dare to disrespect him?

Therefore, he wanted to ascend to the supreme throne and regain control of Daqian.

This is to restore order; Daqian can only be the world of the Chu family.

Tan Yuzhong and Yang Jingchen looked at each other secretly, each with their own thoughts.

One wanted his future son to ascend the throne, while the other wanted to use them as stepping stones himself.

The news that Da Qi wanted to form an alliance with Dayan was secretly passed to Ling'er.

The person who delivered the message to Ling'er was sent by Lu Zhanxing. When he arrived in Daqi, he changed his name and joined the army. Finally, because of his outstanding martial arts, he was promoted to the rank of Qianzongqi and was in charge of a thousand people.

He happened to be guarding the border between Daqi and Dayan. When he learned that people from Daqi had gone to Dayan, he naturally guessed their intentions.

As soon as Ling'er got the news, she immediately passed the message to her father who was far away in Daqian.

Lu Zhanxing had expected this day to come, and told his daughter to take good care of herself. It was a pity that with the change of dynasties in Daqi, the third brother-in-law was deprived of his position as the imperial teacher, otherwise he would have been able to help Ling'er.

Upon receiving the news, Lu Zhanxing immediately went to the palace to inform his brother.

Half a month later, Lu Zhanyan received the news and was even more shocked by Xingdi's Skynet power.

It would take more than half a month for her forces to arrive at full speed, but Xingdi received it immediately, which shows that her Skynet forces have spread all over the Internet.

If he hadn't known that his younger brother was not interested in the throne, he would have been wary of him a long time ago.

I’m really curious about Xingdi’s Skynet!
