was rejected outright, and Lord Ruan only dared to be secretly disappointed in his heart.

He sighed softly in his heart, the other party's refusal meant that his country seemed to be in danger.

Sent out of the temporary camp by the soldiers, Lord Ruan breathed a sigh of relief that he had come out safely, but then he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and rode towards the imperial city.

And Jun Beimo, who was already wearing armor and ready inside, immediately ordered troops to set off soon after.

He wanted to take this place down sooner, and then go back and hug her and spend time with her.

Because the city gate was closed, Jun Beimo wanted to lead the army in, so he had to break the city gate first.

The city gate, which was no longer guarded by soldiers, was no longer difficult for him, so he directly asked a soldier to hook the towering city wall with his flying claws, and then climbed up and crossed the city wall to open the gate from the inside.

Soon, the soldier lived up to his expectations, and the two closed gates slowly opened to both sides.

"Let's go."

With an order, Jun Beimo led the army directly through the city gate and entered the city.

The people in the city had already walked and hid, and when they entered the city, they did not find a single person.

Looking at the empty streets, he was secretly vigilant as he led people forward.

Tens of thousands of soldiers walked through the huge streets, and the sound of armor rubbing and footsteps was shocking, making the people who were hiding tremble even more.

Jun Beimo, who was not interested in them, led the army directly out of the city and went straight to the imperial city.

Since the soldiers all walked on their legs, the speed was far less than that of Lord Ruan, who was hurrying quickly, and it was estimated that it would take several days to reach the foot of the imperial city.

……………………

On the night of the next day, Lord Ruan, who had never rested, finally arrived in the capital.

Outside the palace, he handed over his horse to the soldiers guarding the gate, and then he galloped into the palace.

The soldiers had already received the emperor's order, and when they saw him running directly in, they did not stop him.

In the Jinluan Palace, the monarch of the Canglan Kingdom spends most of his time sitting on his throne these days. He didn't know if he could keep his throne, and now he was naturally reluctant to leave.

Ever since the day the messenger was sent, his heart had been filled with anticipation and fear.

He expected the other party to agree to his conditions, but he was afraid that the other party would refuse.

……………………

In a luxurious palace in the harem, Concubine Rou used these connections to inquire about a lot of things.

Since the second prince was kidnapped that day, she has disappeared without any news, and she has always been worried in her heart.

If the pieces are missing, then the board is useless.

Since the chessboard is useless, it means that His Majesty's country is difficult to protect.

A few days ago, she had already inquired about some things by His Majesty's side, and she had heard that His Majesty had sent an envoy to negotiate the conditions, and the conditions offered were very generous.

Seriously, he didn't think that His Majesty's conditions could impress the regent of the enemy country with a cold-blooded iron hand, so he began to find a way to get out for himself, and brought his royal children and princesses with him.

She dedicated her best years to His Majesty, and she didn't want to end up dead. And he not only dedicated himself to his best age, but also gave him a son and a daughter.

And if he leaves with the child, at least he can save his bloodline for His Majesty, and he is worthy of him.

When he began to prepare for himself and his son and daughter, there were many clever concubines in the entire harem.

As long as they are smarter concubines, they don't want to stay and wait for death.

And some concubines with relatively low status and no sense of existence, they have already dressed up as palace maids and ran away with identity tokens.

Their status is relatively low, and they are not liked by His Majesty, so naturally there are no subordinates in the courtyard to serve them, and there are usually no subordinates who come to talk to them, and no one knows when they leave.

But even if they are gone, it is estimated that the current emperor does not have the heart to send more people to arrest them back.

The current soldiers and guards were all sent to guard the gates of the palace, but there were not a few empty spaces.

……………………

While they were thinking differently, Lord Ruan had already obtained His Majesty's location from the mouth of the eunuch, and he quickly ran towards the Jinluan Palace.

When I came to the gate of the main hall of the Jinluan Palace, there were only a few eunuchs left who guarded the door and obeyed the dispatch, and the hall was extremely depressed and deserted, which was incompatible with the majesty and solemnity of the past.

The little father-in-law who was guarding the door outside saw that it was Lord Ruan, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised. Your Majesty has been looking forward to Lord Ruan's early return these days.

"Lord Ruan, please wait here for a while, and the slave will immediately go to report to the emperor."

Because of the rush and eager running, Lord Ruan breathed heavily, his chest rose and fell violently, and there was an unconcealed anxiety and exhaustion in his eyes.

After listening to the eunuch's words, he nodded and did not speak.

The eunuch who entered immediately walked towards His Majesty, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Ruan has returned, and now he is asking for an audience at the palace gate. ”

Hearing that the envoy he sent out was back, Canglan Guojun was so excited that he stood up from the dragon chair, "Please!" Hurry up and invite Ruan Aiqing in. ”

He couldn't wait to see Lord Ruan, and wanted to know the other party's answer from his mouth.

The eunuch, who knew that His Majesty couldn't wait, turned around and trotted outside the palace gate after answering.

"Lord Ruan, Your Majesty is invited." The eunuch who ran out of the door immediately conveyed His Majesty's words to the man in front of him.

And when he heard that His Majesty let him in, he didn't have time to nod his head to the eunuch to thank him, so he walked inside.

Entering the main hall, he made a great salute to His Majesty above.

His Majesty, who was already eager to get an answer, hurriedly asked him to get up, and then said, "Can they agree?" ”

Lord Ruan, who knew who His Majesty was talking about, shook his head, his expression was a little bad, "Your Majesty, the regent refused to agree, and asked the minister to bring a word to Your Majesty." ”

"Say." Hearing the news that the other party did not agree, the monarch of Canglan only felt that his eyes were dark, but when he heard that the other party asked Lord Ruan to bring him a word, he forcibly held back the darkness in front of him and said a word heavily.

Lord Ruan didn't dare to be the slightest bit sloppy, and immediately repeated the words that the other party asked him to bring to him word by word.

That sentence was repeated, and the monarch of Canglan Kingdom sat down on the imperial chair, holding the armrest carved with a coiling dragon, and the green tendons of that hand were violent, you can imagine how great the force was.

Lord Ruan below had already seen His Majesty's extremely difficult face, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his eyes, for fear that he would be condemned by His Majesty.
