When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

The queen sat opposite Emperor Zhao, and after calming down, her eyes fell on Mu Xue's swollen face, and she kept silent.

"Just because you are tolerant doesn't mean Yan Li can do whatever she wants." Emperor Zhao's tone was full of majesty, "Ye Qi, go and bring Princess Nanyang over, I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Ye Lin bowed, "I obey your order."

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and left.

A trace of panic flashed through Mu Xue's eyes, and she tightened her clothes involuntarily.

If Yan Li told the whole content of their conversation, would her father believe her? Would he be angry because of her brother's plan?

The queen sat silently aside, and although her expression was still a little ugly, she no longer entangled in this topic.

Mu Xue was beaten anyway, and Yan Li was not right today anyway. She wanted to see if the emperor could continue to protect Yan Li regardless of right or wrong.

"There is something I want to discuss with you and your daughter." Emperor Zhao put down the teacup and started to talk about business, "A general from the South Kingdom has come and sent a letter of credence. Their envoys will arrive in Mu Kingdom soon."

The queen was surprised: "South Kingdom?"

Emperor Zhao nodded.

"Isn't the South Kingdom very powerful?" The queen looked suspicious, "How could such a powerful country send envoys to Mu Kingdom?"

Isn't this lowering her status?

Emperor Zhao was silent for a moment, thinking that the South Kingdom should also come for Yan Li.

The Queen of Jin is still on the way, and it should have been gone long ago.

The Jin Kingdom wants to cede nine cities to marry Yan Li, so it should have other plans.

It is obviously a bit puzzling that the South Kingdom and the North Frontier joined in the fun at this time. After all, the South Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom are not adjacent, and the alliance must be separated by a country.

The North Frontier and the Jin Kingdom both have their own ambitions. If they say that they will stop fighting for Yan Li, it always feels not like their style.

So is the truth related to the Queen of Jin?

Thinking of the Queen of Jin, Emperor Zhao felt pressured. Yan Li's life was not good. If Queen Jiang settled accounts with him, how should he explain this matter?

Although Queen Jiang is an old friend, she also represents Jin. Two of the countries adjacent to Mu are often at war. If Jin also turns against it, Mu will be under more pressure.

Because of Mu Cang's support, the war in the northern border stopped for two days. The national treasury finally had a little surplus and got rid of the empty state of the national treasury. If there is another war...

"What is the emperor thinking?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the queen asked with concern, "Does the Southern Kingdom also have ambitions?"

Emperor Zhao came back to his senses and frowned: "No, the Southern Kingdom intends to marry the Mu Kingdom, so I plan to let Mu Xue marry there."

After the voice fell, Mu Xue's face suddenly changed: "I will go to the marriage?"

Emperor Zhao's eyebrows sank slightly: "You don't want to?"

Mu Xue panicked: "I..."

"Your Majesty." The queen calmed down and said carefully, "There are still a few princesses in the royal family waiting to be married. Must Mu Xue go?"

Emperor Zhao said in a light tone: "This matter has not been discussed with the Southern Kingdom, but if there is sincerity in the marriage, the legitimate princess is the most suitable."

Mu Xue's face turned pale and stood aside and dared not say a word.

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

The crown prince was deposed, and she and her son are in a difficult situation now. If she rashly opposes the marriage, she will definitely make the emperor even more dissatisfied.

If Mu Xue can really promote the friendship between the Southern Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom through marriage, it will be a great achievement, which will benefit both her and Xiu Han. The emperor, in view of Mu Xue's merits, may be happy to reinstate the crown prince and let Xiu Han sit on the throne of the crown prince again...

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

Mu Xue suddenly turned her head and looked at the palace, her expression gloomy, and there was a bit of uneasiness in the gloom.

Emperor Zhao was surprised: "You came so quickly?"

Ye Qi explained: "When I went to the palace, I happened to see Princess Nanyang standing at the palace gate. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while."

Mu Xue tightened her lips and couldn't help but start to be afraid. What did Yan Li, that bitch, want to do?

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

"She knows she made a mistake, so she's in a hurry to apologize." The queen smiled faintly, "But the emperor doesn't need to be too harsh on Yan Li's behavior later. Just warn her and let her remember the lesson. After all, she will soon become the ninth princess, and she is Mu Xue's elder. It's natural for elders to teach younger people."

Emperor Zhao did not comment, but only ordered Ye Qi: "Let her in."

"Yes."

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

"Yan Li." Emperor Zhao looked at the thin and weak girl in front of him, "Mu Xue said you beat her, I want to ask you what happened."

Yan Li lowered her eyes and said calmly: "The princess said that the idle prince regretted breaking off the engagement with me, and asked me if I was willing to change my mind, and promised to give me the position of queen in the future."

As soon as the voice fell, the air in the palace condensed.

Emperor Zhao's face darkened, and he turned to look at Mu Xue, his eyes cold and angry.

Mu Xue's face turned pale.

Yan Li continued: "I said frankly that I was about to marry the Ninth Prince, and I didn't want to be fickle. The legitimate princess was angry and said that the emperor favored me because my mother was shameless and seduced the emperor. She also said that I was the emperor's illegitimate daughter and that marrying the Ninth Prince was a mess-"

"I didn't!" Mu Xue's face changed, and she stood up, "I didn't say that! Yan Li, you slander me!"
