In the palace hall.

Wei Zhenhua and Tang Xudong sat quietly, pursing their lips and saying nothing. Xichen Qinglan's face was angry, and Zhou Lingfeng's eyes were slightly closed, looking like he was out of the world.

After a while, the Empress Beluccia, accompanied by the head of the court, finally appeared, and the two archons stood up to salute the two gods of war of the Silent Star.

The two sides briefly exchanged a few words, and after sitting down again, Tang Xudong went straight to the topic and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty the Empress, we have been entrusted by Your Excellency the Supreme Consul to clarify the misunderstanding with you regarding the fact that Xiao Junling, the core disciple of the Silent Star Temple, was taken away by the princess of your country! I hope that you can put the overall situation of friendship between the two countries first, and will ......"

Lori Silan interrupted him with a chuckle and said gently, "Misunderstanding? Let's just say that! Xiao Junling is indeed in the palace, but he is no longer a citizen of the Huaxia Empire, but a nobleman of my Qingqiu Empire, so I think it is unreasonable for you to want us to send him back. ”

Wei Zhenhua's face became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "Dear lady in charge, I don't understand what you mean!" Xiao Junling is a legal citizen of the Chinese Empire, there is no doubt about it! Even if he wanted to emigrate, he would have to go through a rigorous legal process. ”

"He was just taken away by Her Royal Highness the Princess in a not very friendly way, and now you declare him a nobleman of the Qingqiu Empire, can I understand that you have adopted some shady means?"

The Empress smiled slightly: "Your Excellency the Grand Consul, Xiao Junling was brought back to the palace by the princess, and you may not know much about some of the details, but I can clearly tell you that he made the above decision because he fell in love with Her Royal Highness the princess, and we did not force him!" ”

"And," she paused, and threw out another shocking news:

"I have decided to marry the princess to him, and I will announce the details soon! Now that you've arrived, you might as well inform you in advance that it's the same. ”

Xichen Qinglan was furious, if she hadn't been afraid of her identity, she would have almost spoken out angrily, and the king of a country would have spoken shamelessly!

She had just returned to the Silent Star Temple today, and before she had time to meet the Great Sage, she heard this news that made her shocked and angry, so she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly came to Wei Zhenhua.

Just as the archon was about to go out, he brought her over, after all, she was Xiao Junling's teacher, and of course she had the right to ask about this matter.

The warm smile that had always hung on Tang Xudong's face disappeared, and there was a gleam in his eyes, and he asked unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty the Empress, although there is a mutual agreement between the two countries on immigration, this kind of thing can only be allowed after being strictly reviewed by the governments of the two countries, such as Xiao Junling's case, which does not conform to the established legal procedures at all, so it is impossible for the Huaxia Empire to officially recognize your self-asserted behavior!"

Lori Silan smiled and said, "The rules are all set by people, and according to the conventions of the Anthropocene realm, when necessary, it is not a big deal to be in a hurry!" With our good friendship with your country, we ask you to provide some convenience in this matter, which should not be too much to ask, right? ”

Wei Zhenhua's face gradually turned cold, it seemed that the two monarchs and ministers were determined to cheat, and they didn't even care about their identities anymore, didn't they understand, after all, this was on the territory of the Huaxia Empire?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if it is someone else, you want us to make it convenient, and it is not impossible to consider it!" He said indifferently,

"But Xiao Junling is the core disciple that the Silent Star Temple focuses on cultivating, and such a talent is not within the scope of the immigration permit agreement between the two countries! What's more, he is far from being a minor, and if he wants to immigrate, he must obtain the permission of his guardian! So your request is simply unreasonable! ”

"Guardian?" Lorissan smiled reservedly,

"It's true that this child is still underage, but according to what we know, he has no living relatives! So this argument should not hold water, we ......"

Tang Xudong lightly pointed at Xichen Qinglan, and said unashamedly: "This is Xiao Junling's teacher, and she is the legal guardian recognized by the temple, she has the final say in anything involving him!" ”

"This ......" The palace administrator's face was stagnant, because of the rush of time, they did not fully grasp the detailed information about Xiao Junling, and now a teacher and legal guardian of his suddenly appeared, which was obviously a bit unexpected for them.

But after all, the palace governor was not an idle person, and when he heard this, he quickly calmed down and said politely: "This respected lady Xichen Qinglan, regarding your student, I think we can ......"

The female god of war had already lost her patience, and said coldly when she heard this: "I'm sorry, Xiao Junling is my student, I will arrange everything about him myself, and it won't be the turn of others to come and replace him, including you!" ”

"Now, please take him out and give him back to me!"

Lori Silan couldn't help but smile, she didn't expect Xichen Qinglan's attitude to be so blunt and direct, leaving no room at all, even if she was facing the empress of the Qingqiu Empire.

After a deep groan, she said tentatively: "But Xiao Junling is the person favored by Her Royal Highness our princess after all, so ...... If you are willing to make some concessions in this matter, we can give you a generous reward! You see......"

"No need," Xichen Qinglan's attitude was resolute and unquestionable,

"I'm not interested in any of your proposals, now I just want to meet my students!"

……

"Okay, okay? You bumbling guys! ”

In the princess's bedroom, Princess Dai Liwei looked at the busy palace maids in front of her, her pretty face was tense, and she scolded a little impatiently.

"Soon, Your Highness, only the last process is left!" A female officer replied, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead.

In the center of the golden dome, a fist-sized cyan fruit phantom is taking shape, and the dazzling light and shadow of the Dao Dao are disappearing from time to time around it, and on the high palace dome, a ball of light with a diameter of half a meter rotates unhurriedly, and projects a beam of light of a certain thickness and colorful light onto the fruit.

Countless tiny colored three-dimensional runes like fine sand were derived and separated from that fruit, converging into clouds of light and mist around it, with a faint coercion, as if a powerful consciousness was being born.

Several royal pharmacists were busy around the statue, and as time passed, the image of the green fruit became more and more solid, and finally turned into an unknown fruit the size of a broad bean and shining green.

Princess Deliwei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered, "Hurry up, we are running out of time!" ”

A pharmacist carefully took the fruit, placed it on a sterling silver plate, and then split it in two with a golden dagger, and then took out two small sealed test tubes from the medicine box that had been prepared, unscrewed the lid of the red one, and poured out the liquid and poured it on top of half of the fruit.

Then, the liquid in the remaining green test tube was also poured on top of the other half of the fruit. And the fruit seemed to have a spirit, and it sucked up the liquid that had been poured on it.

The pharmacist did the same, and in an instant, he had added more than ten kinds of liquid medicine of different colors.

"Your Highness, due to the rush of time and the fact that this place is not in the country, some precious raw materials are not complete!" The female officer whispered,

"The configured Elixir can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, so the probability of success is only about seventy percent of the genuine product! You see......"

Princess Deliwei raised her eyebrows and asked:

"I remember that the effect of the genuine product is controlled by even the powerhouses of the Silent Star God of War level with a certain probability! Although this is a semi-finished product, his strength is only at the beginning of the Condensing Star Realm, and the probability of success in this control should be much greater, right? ”

"Theoretically!" The female officer replied honestly.

"Hmph, that's fine!" Princess Delivi commanded,

"Hurry up and give him a service, at least deal with the current troubles first, and when I return to the Qingqiu Empire, I will make up a genuine product for him, from now on, he will be mine, and no one can snatch it away!"

……

“…… Your Excellency the two honorable archons, "Seeing that the palace governor and Xichen Qinglan were getting more and more stiff as they talked, Empress Beluccia finally spoke:

"I have led a delegation to visit the Huaxia Empire with enough sincerity, because maintaining good relations between the two countries is an inevitable way to deal with the increasingly sinister situation in the Star Sea and safeguard their respective interests!"

"We are more than happy to forge a closer alliance with your country, and I believe that your top management thinks so. Therefore, I think that on the issue of Xiao Junling's whereabouts, the two sides might as well take a step forward and adopt a more pragmatic attitude to deal with this matter, and strive to reach a plan that is acceptable to both sides. ”

Tang Xudong asked cautiously, "I don't know what Her Majesty the Empress has?" ”

"It's simple," said the empress with a gentle smile,

"Let Xiao Junling, this kid, come out and express his attitude to you, if he is willing to return to the Huaxia Empire, then we will release him immediately, and we will not stop him!"

"If he is willing to join the Qingqiu Empire and become Princess Deliwei's concubine, then we will give His Royal Highness Xichen Qinglan a generous gift as compensation, which can be regarded as a thank you for taking care of the imperial concubine, and your government will not interfere in this matter for any reason!"

"I wonder what you think of such a proposal?"

Xichen Qinglan frowned, the empress who held the initiative would not make concessions for no reason, as soon as she heard this kind of proposal, she vaguely understood what the other party was thinking.

Wei Zhenhua frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Sounds like a good idea!" But can you guarantee that your people didn't do anything shady against the child? ”

"Absolutely not, Your Excellency!" Lorislan assured solemnly.

"So...... Just ask that kid to come out! Wei Zhenhua groaned for a while. Finally nodded and said:
