Chapter Seventy-Six: He Rode Through the Mountains and the Sea
Ye Qing stood at the lowest point of the hall, but his pride was as high as the sky above the dome. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā
She calmly admits that she has a personal friendship with His Majesty, who is feared like a lion and tiger by the entire Lanye Empire, and this friendship can even make him give up his eyeliner and minions to win the princess's little favor.
"Unreasonable" Your Majesty.
Ye Qing summed it up like this, and countless councilors on the annual ring couldn't help but repeat it in their hearts.
"When I had a cold relationship with that majesty, he was the killer of the prince in distress, and I was a mausoleum keeper who lived alone, so we didn't discuss much about the family and country at that time, he cooked food for me and taught a thousand eons, and I could only return with a self-composed song, and then the stars of the dark night surged, and the city was shrouded in eternal night."
Ye Qing simply and calmly recounted her past with that majesty, there was no falsehood in her words, but it was shrouded in a vague smoke.
The vast majority of people in this hall actually didn't know about the prince's past, about his travels to the country, about his Ye Ye study, about his exile, about his parasitic fence.
For the vast majority of them, that His Majesty suddenly appeared as the remnant prince of Emperor Stersian, holding the Blade of Disillusionment, with 3,000 Blazing Flame Legions under his command, assassinating Emperor Qingli with lightning speed, ascending to the throne on his own, and breaking through the gap between the heavenly realm at the age of nineteen.
Ye Qing knew him earlier, although he didn't meet the young boy who was still the president of Ye Ye Academy, but he met him on the eve of his most dazzling bloom.
That lazy guy, the down-and-out killer who was poured in front of him by someone who turned his wine bag upside down, but could swallow it calmly, who believed that he was the closest person to the throne of the world's oldest royal family.
She rode with him on the Shadow Pegasus, soaring above the nine heavens, and she sang her song to the man, witnessed only by the sky and the clouds.
She needed to show the proud and ancient Imperial Parliament her relationship with that Majesty, but she didn't need to describe every detail.
"That night my father and the emperor came, the three emperors gathered, the four tribes came together, the saints clashed, I invited him to my year-old banquet, and he gladly went to the appointment, after the year-old ceremony, he turned east, broke into the mirror in front of me, and soon after, I learned that he had become the emperor of Sturt."
Ye Qing said that no one asked her to say so much, and no one had the right to let her say so much.
But she said it anyway, not a word of falsehood.
At the parliamentary table, someone hesitated to ask a question.
"What does Her Highness want to explain to us?"
Flaunting your intimacy with that majesty? This will only make your subsequent arguments more hypocritical and weak.
Ye Qing looked up at him and replied lightly: "I want to explain to you that I may not be the person who knows him in the world, but I definitely know him better than everyone you are doing." ”
"He's one of the best people I've ever had in the world, and I'm grateful to him from the bottom of my heart."
Ye Qing said such sweet words, but his tone was as cold as ice.
"But I won't believe everything he says to me, everything he does to me, and I question his true purpose from the bottom of my heart."
"The more I like him, the more I fear his betrayal."
Ye Qing smiled: "Every word I say today will reach his ears, and some people will even imitate my voice and tone vividly, but I don't care." ”
"He won't care."
"I'm just here to assure you that if Ye Luan really becomes his queen, he will be the best husband in the world, and my sister will not only not be criticized at all, but will be as happy and happy as in fairy tales and dramas."
"He will keep all his promises, and Lan Ye and Ster will be like brothers, and they will not be able to fight and trade."
"If he wants to expand his territory one day, we will gladly provide him with a safe route to march on, as well as enough supplies to take on the vast empire of the Sunset Lands."
"But only if."
"If he sees clearly that he is allied with a weak and proud giant with feet of clay, he will not hesitate to tear off the veil of hypocrisy, and if we send his army through the Yanshi, he will turn around and take the city established by the First Emperor for himself, and we will take him through the vast plains of streams, and every ear of grain, every fruit will become his bag, and when his army has stepped through the vast land of Lanye, and finally stood in front of the city of Cuenca, it is hard for me to believe that the land behind him belongs to which His Majesty belongs?"
The council seat was enraged by the princess's calm and sharp tone, and thunder could not help but sound.
"There's no way he's going to take his honor for grant."
"In the territory of another country still want to start a war? If he did, he would be the stupidest emperor in the world. ”
"He will be given the nickname of the Betrayer, and he will eventually be nailed to the pillars of the years, and his name will be remembered by every child and old man who looks back on the past."
The thunder rang out over the rings of the council, and the angry councillors forgot for a moment to suppress their voices.
Yes, the possibility that Ye Qing said does exist.
But they all deliberately ignore this possibility.
Yes, it is indeed very dangerous to introduce Sturt's army into the hinterland of his own empire, but it is a different matter if he is the husband of his own princess.
No king in recorded history has taken his honor so lightly, and walked alone in the land of another country, fearing nothing more than his master's unwillingness to maintain the manners of his guests, and murdering his master in the halls of others, which is one of the greatest sins that cannot be tolerated in heaven and earth.
But – is that really possible?
"What I'm saying is only the most insignificant of the myriad possibilities." Ye Qing shrugged and said lightly.
"I've said it, he's said many things to me, but I didn't really believe any of them, but there's one thing I don't like, but I always remember it."
"Between countries, interests are always a topic, and no one will rashly provoke a war without sufficient interests."
"If one day the Lanye Empire can't curb his greed and ambition, and you hope that he is the princess's husband and an eternal ally, then he will show you what the most unforgettable betrayal in the world looks like."
"Therefore, I refuse to let the third princess Ye Luan marry him."
Ye Qing lowered her head and calmly repeated what she had said at the beginning.
