As soon as the King of Beidi said this, Xiao Muzhe immediately panicked.

He walked quickly to Qin Mu and protected him.

"Father, it was Prince Jing and Princess Jing who saved your life."

The King of Beidi did not respond, but looked at Qin Mu steadily.

Qin Mu waved his hand and asked Xiao Muzhe, who was protecting him, to move aside.

Xiao Muze turned around and looked at him worriedly.

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Mu spoke in a calm tone.

Only then did Xiao Muzhe obediently step aside.

The King of Beidi couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"My third son really listens to you!"

Qin Mu slowly replied:

“It’s not that the Third Prince listens to me, but we both share the common ground of pursuing peace.

Besides, you are wrong to say that I am walking into a trap.

Since I dare to appear here with my princess, I also have the ability to leave at any time.

Moreover, my beloved concubine has the ability to detoxify you, and also has the ability to poison you again at any time."

The King of Beidi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha…

He is worthy of being the God of War of Daliang State. He is courageous and capable.

Princess Jing is also a deity.

Just because Princess Jing cured me of the poison, I will never repay kindness with evil.

And my third son's desire for peace, I now support it."

After these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere finally eased.

"Father, are you saying that you also support a truce between the two countries?"

Xiao Muzhe's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

The King of Beidi glanced at him.

"If you want to be a qualified crown prince, the first step you need to practice is to keep your emotions under control.

No matter how happy you are, you shouldn't lose your composure like this."

"Yes, Father."

Xiao Muzhe responded subconsciously.

As soon as he finished answering, he realized something was wrong and looked at his father with wide eyes.

"A qualified crown prince?

Father means..."

The King of Beidi glanced at him again and said calmly:

"A qualified crown prince cannot be indecisive.

You still have a long way to go, it looks like I'm going to be tired."

After hearing this, how could Xiao Muzhe not understand?

The king's intention was to appoint him as the crown prince.

Of course he wouldn't refuse.

The peace he wants is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it.

It will take him a long time to maintain it.

This can only be realized if he becomes the King of Beidi and has absolute power.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is not yet qualified to be the Crown Prince.

But I believe that with your careful training, it won’t take long for him to be competent.”

Qin Mu spoke slowly,

“And from my personal point of view, I also hope that the third prince can become the future king of Beidi.

This will be a great benefit to the people of both countries."

The King of Beidi laughed and said:

“Prince Jing speaks without reservation.

Aren't you afraid that I will accuse you of interfering in the internal affairs of Beidi?"

Qin Mu smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty, you said in front of me that you wanted the Third Prince to be the crown prince of your Beidi, wasn't it just for me to hear?

If you were afraid that I would interfere in your internal affairs, you would not have mentioned this matter in front of me.

On the contrary, you want me to help the Third Prince more."

“It’s easy to talk to smart people.

Daliang is lucky to have a prince like you, and it is also a blessing for the people."

Qin Mu did not deny it and his expression remained calm.

At this time, the King of Beidi looked at Fang Ling again.

"Princess Jing is an excellent doctor, and it is a great fortune for Prince Jing to marry you as his concubine.

You worked hard to save my life, how do you want me to reward you?"

The King of Beidi deliberately threw this question to Fang Ling, wanting to see what Princess Jing's character was like.

When Xiao Muze heard his father ask this, he hurried forward to take over the conversation.

“Father, Princess Jing is also a generous person.

She detoxified her father not for any reward.

Naturally, he would never think about asking for any reward.

But we Beidi have never been stingy, so we should give out rewards appropriately, right?"

The King of Beidi saw his son was so eager to protect Princess Jing, he could not help but glance at him again and said quietly,

"You're the only one who knows?"

“Father, Princess Jing is not an ordinary woman.

Don't treat her like an ordinary woman.

She is a wonderful woman.”

Xiao Muze muttered softly.

Fang Ling found the conversation between the father and son very interesting, and she also smiled and said:

“I’m not some strange woman.

I am also a layman.

If the king wants to repay me for saving his life, he can just reward me with some gold, silver, jewelry and rare treasures.

I like all of them, no matter how much.”

Fang Ling spoke so naturally and easily that the King of Beidi laughed again.

“Princess Jing is indeed a straightforward person.

But my Beidi is not as vast and rich in resources as Daliang, and we don’t have as many rare treasures as you do.

When the time comes, Princess Jing should not despise me."

"How could I dislike it? Your Majesty is worrying too much.

Just remember to give more gold and silver, Your Majesty. The herbs I used to detoxify Your Majesty are all of the best quality."

Fang Ling said half-jokingly.

When the King of Beidi heard her reply, the grudge in his heart instantly disappeared.

If the other party says that he does not need anything in return and has no intention of gaining anything.

He would never believe it.

If all he had to do in return was give some gold and silver, it wouldn't have been a problem for him at all.

Of course, the grace of saving a life cannot be offset by a small amount of money.

What's more, he is the king of Beidi.

Both Fang Ling and the King of Beidi understood this.

However, at least on the surface, the King of Beidi did not want to owe the Princess of Daliang a favor.

Otherwise, if every time the two countries interact in the future, there is a life-saving grace involved, then they, the Beidi, will really be controlled by others in every way.

His third son always looked admiring when facing Prince Jing and Princess Jing.

He had to think more.

At this time, Xiao Muzhe walked towards Ouyang Liuli, who was standing aside and was much more well-behaved than usual.

He took Ouyang Liuli's hand, walked to his father, and knelt down together.

"Father, this is Ouyang Liuli, my beloved girl."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the girl beside him affectionately, with a gleam of happiness in his eyes.

Ouyang Liuli also lowered her head shyly and whispered:

"I have met the king."

The King of Beidi looked at his son and the girl he was holding tightly, calmed himself down, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

He looked at Ouyang Liuli and found that she was plain-looking.

Thinking that she was following Princess Jing, she should be just a maidservant beside Princess Jing.

If she was just a maid, then her status would be too low for her to become his son's principal wife.

What's more, he wanted to train his son to be the next king.

If the king of Beidi married a queen who was born a maid from Daliang, wouldn't it become a joke if the news got out?

no…

I must never let my son do anything stupid.

However, seeing that his son's eyes were fixed on the girl beside him, he didn't want to say it too bluntly.

After a pause, he deliberately asked:

"Is this girl from our Beidi people?"
