Report to the Marquis! The Madam went to the military camp to flirt with men again

Yu Chuan nodded: "Xuanyuan Man knows martial arts, and he is not bad."

Upon hearing this, Fu Junyan snorted coldly.

He had just made a move in secret in order to test whether Xuanyuan Man was genuine or not.

There are at least five masters in this world who can block his hidden weapons.

The masters in the prince's mansion are not at the same level as him.

On the contrary, Xuanyuan Man was able to catch his stone with his bare hands.

It seems that this palace hides too many secrets.

I just don’t know if Xuanyuan Jun knows about it?

"My Lord, is what he said reliable?" Yu Chuan asked in a low voice.

"Get ready. We are going to explore Wuyun Mountain at night."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Fu Junyan visited Wuyun Mountain at night and confirmed that what Xuanyuan Man said was true.

Last night, he went to the palace to meet Xuanyuan Jun and proposed the exchange conditions for Chengyan State to send troops.

However, Xuanyuan Jun could never make up his mind.

Whatever. The soldiers of Shang Sheng Kingdom can't hold out for much longer, he will eventually figure it out.

So Fu Junyan wrote a memorial to the emperor, reporting the situation of Shang Shengguo. Just as he put down his pen, he heard a palace maid calling him, saying that Xuanyuan Xue wanted to see him.

He pondered for a moment and then went into the palace.

The Princess's Mansion is located on the west side of the Nuanchun Palace. You can enter the courtyard through a long corridor with painted beams and carved buildings.

But then an urgent voice sounded: "Xue'er! I have asked my father to ask the emperor to marry you. The Queen also knows my feelings for you. Xue'er, why can't you see how good I am to you?"

Xuanyuan Man's voice was extremely cold: "You are good to me? At that time, the Xilie Kingdom pressed me hard, and I wanted to share my father's worries, so I asked you to accompany me to Chengyan Kingdom to request troops. And what did you do?"

"I...wasn't I seriously ill at that time..." Shen Zijun explained hurriedly.

"You are really seriously ill! Your illness is so strange that you need to climb into a woman's bed to be cured!" Xuanyuan Xue said sarcastically with an icy look in her eyes.

"Princess cousin, please listen to my explanation..." Shen Zijun's face turned panicked, and he took a step forward, ready to reach out and grab Xuanyuan Xue's arm.

A hidden weapon flew over and pierced his palm.

"Ah! My hand!"

Shen Zijun screamed and covered his bloody hand in panic. The sharp hidden weapon actually pierced a hole in the palm of his hand, which looked horrifying.

"Someone come! There's an assassin!"

Shen Zijun's face turned pale and he screamed in fear. A group of soldiers quickly surrounded him.

Xuanyuan Xue was also startled and took a few steps back. She raised her eyes in panic, but fell into a pair of black eyes, and her frightened heart fell back.

She ordered coldly: "Everyone retreat!"

The soldiers retreated as ordered.

Shen Zijun saw the frost in Fu Junyan's eyes as he walked towards him step by step.

He was so scared that he took a few steps back: "You... I am an official appointed by the court! You, you actually dared to assassinate me... I will report it to the emperor and have you cut into pieces!"

Fu Junyan said coldly: "In my dynasty, if you offend the princess, it is a violation of your authority. The lightest punishment is fifty lashes of the cane, and the worst is beheading. Princess Xuanyuan, are you satisfied with my actions?"

Xuanyuan Xue smiled and nodded: "I was frightened, and it was thanks to Lord Fu who came to my rescue. I deserve a reward."

As she spoke, she actually took off the jade hairpin on her head and handed it to Fu Junyan.

Fu Junyan's eyes changed slightly, he looked at her quietly, then reached out to take it.

A jade hairpin is a woman's personal item, but it was given to a man. You can imagine what this means.

Seeing their ambiguous behavior, Shen Zijun felt ashamed, angry, hurt, and hateful. She shouted fiercely: "Fu Junyan! You are going too far! I will kill you! Your Majesty..."

Shen Zijun cried and screamed, and ran towards the Golden Palace.

Xuanyuan Xue looked at the handsome face that was as sharp as a knife, and her heart beat disorderly.

She suppressed her strange expression and chuckled, "My Lord, my father has just given me a pot of top-quality conch shells. I wonder if you would be so kind as to drink with me?

Fu Junyan nodded slightly, and the two of them walked towards the pavilion.

In the meeting hall next to the Golden Throne Hall.

Xuanyuan Jun angrily looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground and threw the memorials at their faces one by one: "Emergency! All you can do is say that the war is urgent! Can't you think of a solution?! What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The ministers were trembling with fear, and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Speak!" Xuanyuan Jun slammed the table hard.

Several ministers looked at the Left Prime Minister Zhao Jing tremblingly. After all, he was in a high position and had great power, so he could still say a few words.

Zhao Jing was calm, and he straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the Dongcheng Kingdom and the Xilie Kingdom are besieging our dynasty together, and it is indeed difficult to resist. Our soldiers have suffered countless casualties. If this continues, I am afraid that they will break through the city gates. By then, our people will be destitute and starving..."

"Tell me a solution!" Xuanyuan Jun glanced at him dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Jing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the only solution now is to seek help from Chengyan State."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!" Shen Weidong objected vehemently. "Chengyan State requires us to pay tribute of 800,000 kilograms of salt mines every year. This is already half of our dynasty's production. Salt mines are the livelihood of our dynasty, and we must not allow the tyrants to plunder them."

Zhao Jing frowned, "Uncle Shen, Chengyan State is purchasing 800,000 kilograms of salt mines at half the price every year in exchange for sending troops. The limit is ten years. Make sure our dynasty stays away from war within these ten years."

Xuanyuan Jun played with the jade beads in his hand, frowned and remained silent.

Zhao Jing looked at Shen Weidong with disdain and said sarcastically, "Uncle Shen, the output of the salt mine you are in charge of has dropped sharply in recent years. However, a large number of private salts have appeared on the market, and they have been banned repeatedly. If you can put an end to private salt and ensure that the salt mines are fully controlled by the government, you can also offset part of the output required by Chengyan State."

"Zhao Jing! What do you mean by this? I, Shen Weidong, have never embezzled money for myself! I am loyal to the court, and God can bear witness to this. How can you slander me like this?"

Shen Weidong was so angry that he wanted to tear him apart.

Zhao Jing snorted coldly: "If you are so afraid of being slandered, why don't you just hand over the salt mine in your hands?"

"Zhao Jing! You..."

"Enough!" Xuanyuan Jun rubbed his forehead irritably.

If the 800,000 kilograms of salt mine at half price were really handed over to Chengyan State, the salt price of their Shangsheng State would definitely plummet among neighboring countries.

"Your Majesty..." Shen Weidong was about to explain nervously.

There was a commotion at the door.

"Who's outside? Come in!" Xuanyuan Jun frowned and asked coldly.

Before he finished speaking, he heard Shen Zijun crying, "Your Majesty! Please make a decision for me!"

Everyone looked towards the door and saw Shen Zijun covering his injured hand, with blood dripping onto the floor of the council hall. When she saw the emperor, she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Zijun! What's wrong?!" Shen Weidong was shocked. He quickly knelt down and crawled over, holding up his palm to check.

There was a sharp knife stuck in it.

"Father!" Shen Zijun's face was pale and distorted.

"How dare you! How dare you assassinate someone in the palace!" Xuanyuan Jun was furious and slammed the table, "Someone! Tell Wei Su to come over to see me!"

The eunuch serving in front of the palace answered yes and trotted out quickly.

"Who stabbed you?!" Xuanyuan Jun asked angrily.

Shen Zijun glanced at Shen Weidong, then fell to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, it was Fu Junyan!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in shock.

The Marquis of Chengyan State is so bold and reckless, is he bullying the weak Shangsheng State? !

"Your Majesty! Mr. Fu is going too far! He is committing a crime in broad daylight under the emperor's feet. He doesn't take our dynasty seriously! I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for my son!"

Shen Weidong burst into tears. He had disliked Fu Junyan for a long time, so how could he let him go?

Xuanyuan Jun had a gloomy face, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, silent and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Wei Su came over quickly, bowed, and stood aside waiting for the emperor's order.

Xuanyuan Jun ordered in a deep voice: "Shen Zijun said that Lord Fu of Chengyan State injured him. Go and find out what happened."

At the end, he emphasized: "Be careful not to use force! Report immediately!"

The emperor's attitude made Shen Weidong feel disappointed.

"Go and call the imperial physician over." Xuanyuan Jun instructed the young eunuch who was accompanying him.

Wei Su took the order and left.

The hall seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and it was so solemn that no one dared to speak.

All they could hear was Shen Zijun's sobbing. The shocking wound made everyone's scalps tighten.

About half an hour later, Wei Su came back. As soon as he bowed, Xuanyuan Jun interrupted him.

"Okay, tell me what happened." Xuanyuan Jun looked solemn.

Wei Su said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I have found Lord Fu, who was playing chess with Princess Xuanyuan Xue. The princess told me that Lord Fu had indeed stabbed Shen Zijun's hand. But there was a reason for this. Shen Zijun was disrespectful to the princess first and wanted to do something inappropriate to her..."

The ministers were horrified, but Zhao Jing and his followers looked at Shen Weidong and his son with gloating eyes...
