As soon as Li Yunxing's words fell, the blood on Qi Ming's face instantly faded clean.

He raised his head abruptly and looked at Li Yunxing in disbelief.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on the major matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, how can you, how can you make decisions without permission!"

Marriage with Nanban is a big deal, and Li Yunxing is clearly cutting first and then playing.

On the surface, it was to let the queen propose to make peace, but behind the scenes, she had already contacted Nanban, and now that the envoys who received the relatives have set off, how can they regret it?

Li Yunxing smiled, and his eyes were a little more ruthless when he looked at Qi Ming.

"What's wrong with Hongu?" Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth pursed a touch of mockery.

"The major affairs of the country cannot be delayed for a day, not to mention that the palace does not have the ability to predict the future, and I don't know that the Huns will suddenly send troops to overwhelm the border. The original intention of this palace was only to accept the will of the queen mother and find a good monarch for the eldest princess. ”

"What's more, didn't Lord Qi lose his beloved son recently and was holding a funeral for him? Naturally, there was no special summons. ”

Listening to Li Yunxing's high-sounding words, Liu Zhongqing clenched his fists angrily, but he hated Liu Ruxu in his heart.

This unfilial girl is really confused!

Didn't she know that the prince was ambitious and the wolf son was ambitious?

Now, he actually followed Li Yunxing's wishes and wanted the eldest princess to marry Nanban, so that Li Yunxing could take the opportunity to marry the king of Nanban and Qin Jin.

In this way, the prestige of the crown prince has risen to another level.

It made Liu Zhongqing even more sure in his heart that the matter of the Huns must be fueled by Li Yunxing.

It's a pity that it's too late to say that now.

Lin Chengyi stood aside, listening to Li Yunxing and Liu Zhongqing singing and harmonizing, his eyes flickered.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Southern Barbarian King is a foreign power, if he can marry, it will definitely be harmless to the Wu Dynasty." Lin Chengyi said.

"Lin Qing is right, now that the northwest is in turmoil, the Huns are eyeing each other, if our Wu Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians can fight each other, it will naturally be foolproof."

As soon as Lin Chengyi spoke, Liu Zhongqing naturally lost his right to speak.

The marriage contract of the eldest princess was quickly decided, but when she left, it was obvious that Liu Zhongqing's expression was gloomy and unpredictable.

When they came out of the council hall, Liu Zhongqing turned around and glared at Liu Ruxu fiercely.

Queen Liu didn't know why a mere marriage made her father so angry. She hurriedly chased after her and walked side by side with Liu Zhongqing.

The two walked in the palace for a long time, and it was not until they came to a secluded place where no one was around, and Liu Zhongqing stopped.

Liu Ruxu knew that today she made her own initiative to let the eldest princess marry the son of Nanban, which must have angered her father, so she just followed behind and was silent.

With a "snap", Liu Ruxu was slapped to the ground.

Suddenly, her right cheek quickly swelled, and the hot pain made her gasp.

She raised her head and looked at Liu Zhongqing with an aggrieved face.

"The daughter is not sensible, please punish the father!" She gritted her teeth.

"Humph! Punishment, what else can I punish you? Liu Zhongqing asked sharply.

"Have you forgotten that you are the eldest daughter of the Liu family, representing the Liu family! If you insist on marrying the Nanban King, where will you put the face of our entire Liu family! ”

Liu Ruxu lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the cold glint in her eyes.

"Father misunderstood, my daughter didn't go against your will, it's just that the eldest princess stayed in the palace, and it was inconvenient for me to act." Liu Ruxu explained.

Liu Zhongqing was even more angry when he heard this, but he didn't expect Liu Ruxu to be really confused.

"Do you know what you did wrong today?"

Liu Zhongqing narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Ruxu dangerously.

"My father was angry, and he knew that he shouldn't be asserted." Liu Ruxu sincerely admitted her mistake.

"Wrong! You are wrong because you shouldn't have listened to Li Yunxing's one-sided words at all, you were tricked by him! Liu Zhongqing said sharply.

He was annoyed when he thought that the things he had been planning for several years were all destroyed in the hands of Liu Ruxu.

If it weren't for Liu Ruxu, how could he have fallen into such a dilemma and difficult situation?

Listening to Liu Zhongqing's reprimand, Liu Ruxu's eyes were deep and dark.

She slowly clenched the hand hidden under her sleeve.

"The daughter is stupid, and she asks her father for advice."

Liu Zhongqing snorted coldly, stretched out his trembling hand, pointed in the direction of Lin Chengyi, and said, "Have you ever thought that Lin Chengyi would suddenly jump out to help you speak today, why?" ”

Liu Ruxu looked over along his fingers, and saw that Lin Chengyi was following behind Li Yunxing with his head down, and a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

Could it be that Lin Chengyi has already taken refuge in Li Yunxing?

Thinking of this, her face changed suddenly.

"Lin Cheng benefits him, he ......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Liu Zhongqing.

"Just now in the council hall, don't you see that Lin Chengyi can't wait to marry Nanban, he sells weapons and armor privately in the territory of the Wu Dynasty all the year round, so if the rebel Qingfeng Village in Jingzhou doesn't have his weapons, can he be so entrenched in Jingzhou, which makes Su Tianyang feel tricky?"

"Do you think he's helping you, or just trying to curry favor with the prince? Naive! He is full of shrewd calculations, thinking about how many weapons can be sold to Nanban after opening up the Nanban line, how much money do you think he can make? Liu Zhongqing sneered.

Sure enough, when he saw Liu Ruxu present today, the bad premonition was right.

"And the prince, why do you think he is giving you advice? Don't you look at what your position is, and you still want to be on an equal footing with him? ”

"Not only did he take in the princess of Chu, but Lian Zhan was also sent to other countries, his ambition was very big, and Nanban was also one of his targets. What's more, Nanban is close to Yangzhou, if Nanban sends troops, the first thing to kill is your brother Liu Chen, have you thought about the stakes? ”

As Liu Zhongqing's words smashed on Liu Ruxu's head, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

She trembled and collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Liu Ruxu's face became more and more pale.

She was so angry with Li Zhipan that she was carried away at that time, but she didn't know that all this was counted by Li Yunxing.

This time, she was really pitted by Li Yunxing!

"Daughter...... My daughter knew ...... wrong."

"What's the use of begging for mercy now?"

"My daughter knows it's wrong!"

Liu Zhongqing was silent for a moment and waved his sleeves: "Now that you have realized your mistake, I will no longer criticize you." As for the eldest princess, she must not be allowed to leave the capital alive! ”

When he said the last three words, his face suddenly became ruthless, which made Liu Ruxu shudder.

Liu Ruxu nodded, a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes.
