Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

After saying this, the ministers of the DPRK and China exploded again.

"This... Daqing is here for the Ninth Princess?"

"To put it bluntly, isn't this a marriage?"

"The Ninth Princess is not yet married, so it would be a good deal to trade the Ninth Princess for five cities."

"Shh, don't say this nonsense."

Jiang Ling was already determined to win, and he was just waiting for the man on the throne to accept the decision.

After all, compared with five cities, which one is more important than a princess, I believe the emperor of Dongming Kingdom should know very well.

But what I didn't expect was that the man on the dragon throne had a cold face and refused coldly, "This matter cannot be discussed. I will not send the Nine Emperor Sisters to your country for marriage. I will just stick to the original conditions."

Jiang Ling and Yin Chuan looked at each other after hearing this, and then Jiang Ling said loudly: "Our Majesty only has this condition, and the original one does not count."

"Then you change one. In short, it is impossible for the Ninth Princess to marry into your Xihe Kingdom!" He looked over with a cold look, and his whole body exuded a chill that made people shiver.

Jiang Ling was stunned.

"Your Majesty..." Other ministers in the court saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly came out to persuade: "This matter can be discussed again."

After all, there is only one princess. Isn’t this more cost-effective than giving away five cities?

Besides, the Ninth Princess is not married, so the new king of the West He Kingdom is said to be young and handsome, so there is nothing wrong with marrying the Ninth Princess to the West He Country.

"This matter cannot be discussed any further. I said no, so I can't!" As soon as his furious voice fell, the court suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Ling was also startled by his reaction. He raised his eyes slightly and saw a cold look on Yue Qinghe's eyebrows, with a vague murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Yue Qinghe knew that he had overreacted, so he stood up and said to Jiang Ling and others: "I have arranged for you two to get together with your Princess Changning. You can decide what conditions you want before telling me."

"emperor……"

Yue Qinghe did not give Jiang Ling a chance to continue talking about this matter, and directly ordered, "Someone will bring the two envoys to Mingli Palace."

Several servants stepped forward to invite Jiang Ling and Yin Chuan.

Jiang Ling felt that Yue Qinghe's attitude was too strange. He and Yin Chuan looked at each other and followed the slave out of the hall.

Now, we can only discuss it with the princess.

The two of them were sent to Helan Changning.

Helan Changning took Yue Qingluo to read in the study, and they discussed the matter in the side hall.

Helan Changning frowned slightly after hearing what the two of them said, "Your Majesty really has no other condition other than marrying the Ninth Princess?"

Yin Chuan couldn't help but shook his head, "It would be nice if there were other conditions."

Their majesty was fascinated by the nine princesses and finally came up with this plan, but they didn't expect that the emperor of Dongming Kingdom was actually unwilling to trade one princess for five cities.

They felt that this strategy was used perfectly.

First put forward conditions that make them feel burdened, and then lower the requirements and replace them with conditions that they find easier to accept.

I thought this would be foolproof.

But I never thought that the Emperor of Dongming Kingdom refused immediately and got so angry.

"Princess, do Yue Qinghe and Ninth Princess share the same mother?" Jiang Ling was silent for a long time and suddenly asked Helan Changning.

Helan Changning shook his head, "No, they didn't even grow up together. However, since Yue Qinghe returned to the palace, she has become very close to the Ninth Princess..."

"My subordinates feel that Yue Qinghe's attitude towards the Ninth Princess is too tight this time." Jiang Ling recalled that they had sneaked into Dongming Country and captured the Ninth Princess.

When Yue Qinghe came to rescue people, he said such cruel words, it was obvious that he was indeed very special to the Ninth Princess.

"Then..." Yin Chuan frowned and asked the two of them, "What are we going to do? Do we want to keep wasting it like this?"

Helan Changning nodded, "Of course, you only gave me a pack of purple sand medicine. Considering the Queen Mother's physical condition, she can only take three days at most. By then, even if Yue Qinghe doesn't want to agree, she will have to agree."

Yin Chuan was a little excited, "Then we'll wait until they come to beg us."

……

Regarding His Majesty Xihe's request to marry the Ninth Princess, Yue Qinghe suppressed it.

He has already confined Qingchen in the Mingyue Palace, and no one is allowed to bring this news to the Mingyue Palace.

Therefore, Qingchen didn't know anything about it. During the few days he was locked up in Mingyue Palace, he always wondered whether Xingxue would be released.

Originally, she wanted the guards at the door to call Zhong Shui or Qingmu over. She wanted to ask them about Xingxue's situation.

Unexpectedly, the guards didn't even call anyone to help him.

She didn't know what Ran Yu's condition was like.

Since there is no news from the outside, it is better to continue reading her medical books.

But after being imprisoned for several days, Qingchen didn't see Yue Qinghe come over, and he didn't know what happened to Ran Yu.

Could it be that the poisoning is so deep that it won’t even get better?

Do outsiders think they were poisoned by themselves?

Are you really planning to execute yourself?

She hasn't found out the cause of her father's death yet, so Ran Yu can't die first.

She can't die either!

Thinking of this, she walked to the door and said to the guard guarding the door: "I want to see the emperor, please go and inform me."

The two guards looked at each other, frowned and said nothing.

"I'm just grounded, not a prisoner. I'm still a princess of a country. Don't I have the right to order you?" Seeing their hesitation, Qingchen suddenly lost his temper.

"Yes, I will go immediately." One of the guards handed over his hand and turned to leave.

Qingchen returned to the dormitory again, and Yue Qinghe didn't come over until dinner time.

Ever since he came in, she saw that his face was not very good.

He wondered if Ran Yu's poison could not be cured, which was why he looked like this.

"You...how is your mother?" He came over and saw the dinner on the table. She didn't intend to eat, so she took the initiative to ask.

"You'd better take care of yourself."

Unexpectedly, the man in front of her raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly, his tone cold.

"I really didn't inject the poison." Qingchen explained: "If I want to poison her, first of all, do I have the poison myself? I've been in the palace all the time, where can I get the poison?"

"I didn't say you were the one who administered the poison."

"Then... why are you still confining me to Mingyue Palace?" He had obviously promised himself that he would let him out of Mingyue Palace.

As a result, he was confined to the Mingyue Palace within a few days.

"Because you are restless." He raised his eyes, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes.

"I'm looking for evidence. By the way, there is a locked wooden box in your mother's bedroom. There must be secrets there. My father's death may be related to the wooden box..."

She said without noticing the change in his expression.

Yue Qinghe was sitting opposite her, but after hearing her words, he stood up and walked towards her.

Realizing that something was wrong with his expression, Qingchen wanted to get up, but found that it was a little late.

He strode forward, picked her up, and threw her directly on her bed.

"Yue Qinghe?" She was frightened by his sudden move and exclaimed. She was about to struggle to get up, but he suddenly leaned forward.
